Chapter 101: Chapter 98 Buddha Opens His Eyes, Heaven-Devouring Demon Body Fate!_3

"Hmm, you will be assuming the role of Patriarch in the future, so you should start preparing for yourself and paving the way now."

Chen Daoyan smiled and said, "Our Ziwei Chen Family is divided into two parts: the Day and the Dark Moon. If the Day serves the family, then the Dark Moon... is the Patriarch’s private power!"

"Do you know where the people of the Dark Moon come from?"

Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow; this was something he truly did not know.

"Come, I’ll take you there."

With a hearty laugh, Chen Daoyan led Chen Zhixing in the opposite direction of Ziwei Mountain.

Moments later.

They arrived at a village inhabited by only a few dozen households.

The entire village was built against the hillside, and the people living there were hunters who made their living by hunting year-round.

It was already dark, but the villagers had not yet rested.

Lamps in the wooden houses were lit.

One could vaguely see inside the houses, where women were diligently knitting, turning the furs of wild animals their husbands and children had hunted in the mountains into clothes and blankets for sale.

Some villagers gathered in small groups at the village entrance, chatting about daily life.

Upon seeing Chen Daoyan arrive.

The villagers at the entrance immediately greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Chen, you’re visiting the village at this hour? I caught a few yellow martens yesterday, all with excellent furs, would you like to buy them?"

"Old Li, didn’t you just injure your leg a few days ago, and you went into the mountains again?" Chen Daoyan asked.

"Where else would I go? We mountain folk live off the mountain, relying on the things from the mountains to survive."

The villager chuckled, "I have to move while my body can still move; otherwise, when my child grows up, how will I save enough to send him to become an apprentice and learn a trade?"

"Haha, that’s the way it is. Our generation is naturally born to toil, running around all our lives, never knowing what we’re after, just living for our children and descendants.

Ah, it’s something we can’t seem to change."

Chen Daoyan laughed heartily and then pointed to Chen Zhixing, who was following behind him, "Look, this is my grandson. I’m bringing him out to gain some experience, so when I’m too old to handle the family business, he’ll have to take over."

"Oh, is this the young master? He’s really handsome!"

"Why is the young master covered in blood? Did he encounter wild beasts in the mountains?"

The hunters greeted Chen Zhixing one after another.

Chen Zhixing smiled and called each one ’Uncle.’

"Yes, this boy is mischievous; he wanted to go up the mountain alone to hunt bears today, and look at the state he’s in now..."

Chen Daoyan shook his head and said, "Old Li, you guys chat; I’m taking this kid for a walk."

"Alright, Mr. Chen, take care."

With that, Chen Daoyan walked into the village, hands behind his back, with Chen Zhixing.

"The people in this village are very genuine."

"Sometimes, when I feel tired, I come here to walk and chat with these villagers. Listening to them, I somehow feel the burden on my shoulders lighten a lot."

"Sometimes, I think that the so-called mighty cultivators and these ordinary folks seem worlds apart, but when you think deeper, there’s actually not much difference."

"Although their statuses are different, the way of living is the same."

"Ah, when you get old, you start to feel sentimental."

Chen Daoyan spoke slowly.

Chen Zhixing glanced at the white-haired old man in front of him and suddenly felt that this normally reticent and authoritative man seemed inexplicably lonely.

"Grandpa, you are in your prime, not old at all," Chen Zhixing said softly.

"Haha, do you think I don’t know if I’m old?"

Chen Daoyan chuckled, then walked to a small courtyard with a fence.

"Come."

Chen Daoyan signaled Chen Zhixing to follow and then pushed open the gate.

Deep within the house, with Chen Daoyan’s presence, a vortex materialized in mid-air.

"Is that a small world entrance?" Chen Zhixing asked in surprise.

"Yes, you have a keen eye."

Chen Daoyan looked at Chen Zhixing, then said:

"Go on, choose some core members for yourself!"

With those words, Chen Daoyan stepped into the vortex and disappeared.

Chen Zhixing hesitated for a moment and then followed.

...

...

When Chen Zhixing opened his eyes again.

He found himself standing in a narrow corridor.

The corridor stretched forward, deep into the darkness.

On either side of the corridor were cages forged from refined iron.

Inside the cages came the sound of heavy breathing and the grating sound of chains dragging on the ground.

"Zhixing, there are three levels here! All members of our Chen Family’s Dark Division come from this place!"

Chen Daoyan spoke in a deep voice, leading Chen Zhixing forward.

"Go ahead, choose your future Dark Moon Base!"

Chen Zhixing’s heart stirred at these words.

He was, in fact, in urgent need of establishing his own power, as he would need a lot of cultivation techniques, resources, and people to search for the Celestial Chosen Protagonist’s information as he progressed further!

Xuu Dalong could be a good choice, but his talent was average, and his future achievements would not be high.

And alone, Xuu Dalong would not be enough to accomplish so much.

But now, here was a ready-made opportunity!

"Alright."

Chen Zhixing nodded and continued to move forward.

Inside the cages on either side were boys around ten years old.

All of these boys had blank, expressionless faces, with no light in their eyes.

A heavy scent of blood emanated from their bodies.

"These people were either beggars on the street or orphans without parents at home."

"In summary, they are all people who couldn’t survive in this world."

"They have gone through rigorous selection processes, and the ones still standing here possess exceptional talent and character, one in ten thousand!"

"Just give them a meal, and they will become your most ruthless blades."

Chen Daoyan spoke calmly beside him.

Chen Zhixing nodded, then suddenly had a thought, and a page of ancient golden paper reflected in his eyes.

[Profound Cyan Fate: Mediocre Talent]

[Bright Yellow Fate: Innate Wisdom]

[Profound Cyan Fate: Mediocre Talent]

[Crimson Fate: Fire Tao Seed]

As Chen Zhixing looked onward, he couldn’t help but nod slightly.

These kids indeed had good talents.

Without stopping, Chen Zhixing reached the end of the level he was on.

"Hmm?"

Chen Zhixing suddenly halted, making a soft sound of surprise.

He turned his head to look at a particular cage.
