Chapter 524: The Wan Family's Sword-Forging Heritage
Wan Family Meeting Hall.
There were more than a dozen monks sitting in the empty hall.
A woman with gray hair and plump face sat on the main seat.
And Wan Family Patriarch Wan An sat below her.
Below them were other Wan Family members.
There were five Hedao monks in total.
Below these Hedao monks.
Chen Ling and Wan Yunjian sat down.
"Are you Chen Ling, the lord of Xiyong Immortal City?"
The plump woman took a sip of tea, glanced at Chen Ling, and asked lightly.
As the voice fell, "Shua shua shua" all eyes instantly looked at Chen Ling.
Some were full of scrutiny, some were curious, and some were shocked.
Wan Yunjian on the side was relaxed. Looking at the expression of the ancestor, she knew that nothing would happen.
"Junior Chen Ling, meet the ancestor!"
Chen Ling stood up and saluted calmly.
"Good! You have become the lord of the Immortal City at such a young age, and you can also integrate my Wanjianyi. It is true that heroes emerge from youth."
Ancestor Wan said with a kind look and quite admiring.
"However, the Wan family is a prestigious family. If you do this, how can our Wan family maintain its dignity in Wanjian Immortal City in the future!"
After sweeping his eyes over Chen Ling and Wan Yunjian, Ancestor Wan's tone changed, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
"Ancestor, I also had my own difficulties at that time."
"At that time, the Blood Killing Wing Clan, led by a seventh-level Golden Eye Spirit Clan, invaded my Xiyong City, and Xiyong City would be destroyed by them at any time."
"I really can't come to Wanjian Immortal City to propose marriage!"
"Yun'er can testify for me on this matter!"
Chen Ling immediately bowed his hands in reply.
"Ancestor, this matter is indeed as my husband said!"
Wan Yunjian also stood up and bowed his hands and said.
"Hmph! You little girl are getting more and more lawless!"
"Don't think we can do nothing to you just because of this!"
Ancestor Wan snorted coldly.
"Ancestor, Yun'er dare not!"
Wan Yunjian whispered.
"It's okay to admit your mistakes. No one knows about this matter in Wanjian Immortal City. You two should quickly get married!"
Ancestor Wan nodded, turned his eyes, and looked at Wan An and said, "An'er, since Chen Ling can integrate the sword meaning of the ancestral weapon, he will be a member of my Wan family in the future."
"Hurry up and get their wedding done, and it should be done in a lively manner."
Hearing this, Wan An frowned slightly. Originally, he thought that the ancestor would punish his daughter, but he didn't expect that the ancestor didn't take it to heart.
He could only bow and reply, "Yes, ancestor!"
"Ancestor, I am the lord of the Immortal City, and I don't want to marry into the Wan family!"
At this time, Chen Ling spoke.
The purpose of his coming here was to propose marriage to Wan Yunjian, not to marry into the Wan family.
Upon hearing this, Elder Wan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned cold towards Chen Ling. He said in a deep voice, "You must know that the swordsmanship of my Wan family is never passed on to outsiders!"
"If you don't marry into my Wan family, you must leave the sword intent you have comprehended!"
The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Everyone knows that it is impossible to stay after comprehending the sword intent.
And to stay, there is only one possibility, that is, Chen Ling will abandon his sword cultivation.
But how could Chen Ling, who has entered the fifth realm of swordsmanship, abandon his own sword cultivation.
For a moment, no one dared to speak.
Even Wan An's face became solemn.
Although he was angry in his heart, she was his daughter after all.
And this time when he came back, not only did his daughter's cultivation level improve significantly, but her aura was also very different.
More importantly, she no longer had the original arrogance.
Hostility towards him was also obviously not as strong as before.
From the birth of his daughter to now, he has never seen his daughter look at a man so tenderly.
It can be seen that the daughter really loves Chen Ling.
Although Chen Ling has many wives and concubines, there are even rumors that Chen Ling likes to use his wife as a furnace for cultivation.
However, from the daughter's attitude, it can be seen that these are not reliable.
Moreover, a cultivator who relies on collecting and replenishing for cultivation is absolutely unable to integrate the sword intent of the ancestral weapon.
Therefore, he naturally does not want Chen Ling to fall out with the ancestor.
"Ancestor, it was Yun'er who agreed to marry into the Chen family."
"It was mainly to let my husband help me integrate the Muyun Sword!"
"So, my husband will not marry into my Wan family!"
Wan Yunjian said softly.
Although her attitude was humble and her tone was gentle, the words of integrating the Muyun Sword caused a huge wave among the Wan family members.
Everyone present knew that the Muyun Sword was a treasure of Wan Yunjian's mother's family. It was of extremely high grade and it was extremely difficult to integrate it.
Even the ancestor was not absolutely sure.
So over the years, he had not helped Wan Yunjian integrate the Muyun Sword.
But now Wan Yunjian has successfully integrated the Muyun Sword.
And it was with Chen Ling's help.
So Chen Ling was able to suppress Mu Yunjian.
No wonder Wan Yunjian, who always looked down on others, was willing to marry this man.
He is indeed quite capable!
Hearing this, Elder Wan frowned, his eyes wandering, and he fell into thought.
But what Wan Yunjian said next shocked them even more.
"And now Yun'er is pregnant with my husband's flesh and blood. I will never touch any other man except my husband in this life!"
Wan Yunjian said again in a shocking way.
"What!"
"What!"
Elder Wan and Wan An exclaimed in unison.
The other members of the Wan family looked at each other in bewilderment.
This speed is too fast!
Chen Ling also frowned, thinking that Yun'er didn't need to say something like pregnancy in such a public place.
Or she could just send a secret message to the ancestor or father-in-law and explain it!
"She's really pregnant!"
Hearing this, Wan An didn't care about his ancestor's expression at this time, and hurriedly asked.
He was worried that his daughter would bring up something again.
It was just to prevent Chen Ling from marrying into the Wan family.
Everyone knows that the higher the cultivation level of a cultivator, the more difficult it is to get pregnant.
But my daughter's trip was only a few months, and the efficiency was really too fast!
"Can this matter be joked about!"
Wan Yunjian said seriously.
"Ancestor, father-in-law, except for not being able to marry into the Wan family, we can discuss other things."
Seeing that the expressions of the Wan ancestor and Wan An had eased, Chen Ling hurriedly bowed.
Because of the system, he would definitely not be able to marry into the Wan family.
As for the fused sword intent, it was even more impossible to separate.
Of course, he couldn't stay in the Wan family.
Not to mention that Xiyong City is still unstable now.
He has a lot of things to do.
Not to mention all kinds of cultivation, he also has to continue to marry and have children.
Once he stays in the Wan family, don't count on it.
In addition, the family space array requires him to collect some space treasures, which also takes a lot of time.
But now he is here to propose marriage, he is in the wrong first, and he has integrated the sword meaning of the Wan family, so his attitude is naturally more pious.
Lest the Wan family think that he has taken advantage of the Wan family because Wan Yunjian is pregnant!
After all, the two families still have to cooperate with each other in the future marriage.
And now Yun'er is pregnant, given the relatively thin bloodline of the Wan family.
Most of the resources of the Wan family in the future will not be their own children.
Originally in the Tianyun Realm, Zhou Wan tried hard to persuade him and Zhou Hongshang's daughter to take the Zhou family surname.
He would never agree to it.
But now the situation has changed.
The situation in the Spirit Realm is completely different from that in the Tianyun Realm.
Once a spiritual cultivator grows up, if he does not want to be inferior to others, he must go out to expand the territory.
Therefore, if the child inherits the Wan family's foundation in the future, he may even be able to become the lord of Wanjian Immortal City.
This is not a disadvantage!
"Okay, it's okay not to marry into the family, but you have to promise me that when the child is born, he will take my Wan family surname!"
Sure enough, after a little hesitation, the old ancestor Wan said in a deep voice.
The tone was much calmer.
"No, the child of my Chen family must naturally take the surname Chen."
Chen Ling still did not give in.
The child must naturally take the surname Chen, and whether he will inherit the inheritance of the Wan family in the future depends on the child's own ability and talent.
But Chen Ling did not want to let his child take the surname Wan for this reason.
Otherwise, when the child grows up, how can he have the face to tell him.
"You!"
The face of the old ancestor Wan sank again. He did not expect that he had given in like this, but this kid did not know what was good for him.
"Ancestor, let's discuss the child later. I don't know if the child will have the talent for cultivation after he is born."
"Now the most important thing for my Wan family is to regain the position of the Lord of the Immortal City!"
Wan Yunjian saw that there was some tension between the ancestor and Chen Ling, and said hurriedly.
Her tone was weak, with hope and pleading in her eyes.
With her and Chen Ling's talents, she knew that the child born would definitely not have bad talents.
"Ancestor, Yun'er is right. The most urgent thing is to regain the position of the Lord of the City first, and then consider other things!"
"And Yun'er is pregnant, so this marriage should be completed as soon as possible!"
Wan An also hurriedly persuaded.
His daughter is pregnant, which makes him feel very relieved.
Ancestor Wan sighed slightly. At this point, she also knew that it was impossible for Zhou Ling to marry into the Wan family.
After all, he is the Lord of the Immortal City. He is protected by the rules of the destiny of the spiritual world, and his cultivation speed is far beyond that of other cultivators.
How could he easily give up the position of city lord and marry into the Wan family.
And Chen Ling is a fifth-level sword cultivator, so naturally he can't easily break up with him.
"Yun'er is your own daughter. Since you have no objection, what else can I say, ancestor!"
Ancestor Wan looked at Chen Ling and Wan Yunjian and said.
"Don't worry, ancestor, I am now a sixth-level weapon refiner, and I will definitely help the Wan family win the position of the city lord of the fairy city!"
Since others have made such concessions, he can't just say nothing.
However, it is definitely not that easy to win the position of city lord.
But Yun'er said just now, obviously this is a condition that ancestor Wan can accept.
He can only bite the bullet and take it.
Besides, sooner or later, he will have to take action.
When he came, Chen Ling also knew that it was Wan Yunjian who represented the Wan family this time.
Although Wan Yunjian successfully merged with Muyunjian, with the pressure of Muyunjian, her success rate in refining the sword will be greatly increased.
However, his wife is pregnant now, and the degree of integration of the Muyun Sword is not enough.
So Chen Ling naturally does not want his wife to take risks.
In this case, it is better to take the initiative to accept this competition.
It can not only meet the conditions of the Wan family, but also prevent his wife from taking risks.
Kill two birds with one stone.
"Refining is refining, and sword forging is sword forging. These are two completely different things!"
Ancestor Wan stared at Chen Ling with a puzzled tone.
When Chen Ling heard this, he also understood that Ancestor Wan was doubting his own strength.
It's normal when you think about it. After all, sword making is a relatively independent existence in weapon refining.
"Don't worry, ancestor, my husband's sword-making skills are even better than Yun'er's!"
At this time, Wan Yunjian said.
Although she had never seen Chen Ling forge a sword, she knew that Chen Ling was a man who could not be blind.
Since it was said before, it must be certain.
"Okay, since you trust him so much, Yun'er, I won't say much."
Seeing Wan Yunjian's confident expression, Wan Laozu no longer refused and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, the candidates for this year's City Lord Challenge have been decided, and then it will be all on you, Chen Ling."
Wan An saw the ancestor's tone softening and agreed.
My daughter is actually pregnant, so naturally she cannot participate in the sword-making competition.
After all, the process of refining a seventh-level sword is extremely difficult, and accidents may occur at any time.
He didn't want his daughter to take this risk.
"This is what a son-in-law should do!" Chen Ling also said with a smile.
The originally tense atmosphere dissipated now.
"Chen Ling, how good is your sword-making skills now?"
At this time, Ancestor Wan still worriedly asked Chen Ling about his sword-making skills.
After all, this is related to the allocation of resources in Ten Thousand Swords Immortal City in the next ten years.
But now, Qi Baoyi has been able to refine a seventh-level high-grade sword.
If Chen Ling was only a sixth-level weapon refiner, he would only be able to refine a seventh-level low-grade sword until he died.
"Please give me some advice, ancestor!"
In order to win the trust of Ancestor Wan, Chen Ling did not hide it and showed the power of his soul to Ancestor Wan.
Of course, it only shows the cultivation of the soul, but the soul platform does not reveal it.
After all, the weapon seals of level six and above mainly rely on the fusion of the power of the soul and the origin to be trained.
And the power of his soul is no less than that of an ordinary mid-level Hedao monk.
"Such a powerful soul."
"well!"
Feeling the origin of Chen Ling's powerful soul, Ancestor Wan's face was filled with shock.
I secretly praised in my heart, this little girl Yun'er has pretty good eyesight!
She could feel that Chen Ling's spirit was no worse than hers.
With such a soul cultivation level, if he is a sixth-level weapon refiner, coupled with the fifth-level swordsmanship cultivation level, his sword-making skills will indeed be better than Yun'er's.
The other Wan family members on the side were also extremely shocked when they saw this.
Originally, Chen Ling's ability to integrate the ancestral sword's spirit had already shocked them. Now, he showed a soul cultivation level that was no less than that of the middle stage of Hedao.
This strength is also too terrifying.
Who still believes that he is a god-transforming monk?
Wan Yunjian was also full of joy.
She knew that her husband's cultivation was recognized by his ancestors.
My vision is not wrong!
"This is the sword-making inheritance of my Wan family. It contains the experiences and insights of the ancestors of past generations. You can take these days to study it carefully."
Wan Laozu thought, and a jade slip fell in front of Chen Ling.
A look of surprise flashed in Chen Ling's eyes. This is the most precious inheritance of the Wan family. The ancestor is giving it to him?
This was something he never expected.
"Thank you, ancestor!"
After taking the jade slip, Chen Ling hurriedly handed it over and thanked him.
Ancestor Wan gave up and said, "Let's get married in the next few days!"
"Yes, ancestor!"
Chen Ling and Wan Yunjian replied in unison.
