Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1062 - 530: The Secret of the Celestial Eye Forest

Following the departure of the man on the left, a sigh escaped the lips of the man on the right.

"It truly is advantageous to possess a powerful family!"

He heaved another sigh, reflecting on his own family's middling strength. All he knew was that their experts had vanished without a trace, the specifics remaining a mystery.

"Did they venture into the Blood Cry Realm?"

"Or perhaps they're discussing an assault on the Human Race?"

These thoughts he murmured softly, then gradually closed his eyes.

As a member of the Tree-man Race, he possessed a natural attunement with nature. The slightest tremor would alert him the moment the Human Race set foot within their territory.

Down below!

"It's for the best; dealing with two individuals would have been quite the hassle!"

Chen Xuan's lips curved into a slight smile.

In the very next instant, he materialized directly above the man's head, completely undetected.

The disparity in their power levels was, after all, simply too vast.

"Divine Soul Technique!"

Chen Xuan's Spiritual Power surged into the man's mind, instantly rendering his gaze vacant.

Approximately an hour later.

The Tree-man now resembled a mist of blood, which Chen Xuan proceeded to condense into five drops of emerald essence.

"Now, I am you."

Utilizing a single drop of this essence blood, Chen Xuan instantaneously shifted his appearance to match that of the man.

However, at this precise moment, Chen Xuan still remained in the vicinity; one could even say he was unable to depart!

The Tree-man Race maintained constant vigilance in this area, conducting daily patrols. He had no choice but to await the arrival of those designated to escort him before he could make his exit.

As the sun began to dip below the horizon.

Two figures materialized in the distance.

Upon observing him standing alone, one of them, whose age suggested greater seniority, immediately scowled and admonished, "Why are you here by yourself?"

"Qingsui only just left, and the timing seems about right. Is there an issue?"

"Never mind. Nothing significant has occurred recently, after all."

The other individual interjected with a calming tone.

The Qingsui Clan held considerable influence; there was no need to cause offense over trivial matters.

"Hmph!"

The elder man let out a cold snort but ultimately yielded to the counsel, recognizing that provoking someone bearing the surname Qingsui was not within his capabilities.

He still directed a stern glare at Chen Xuan, warning, "Do not let this happen again next time!"

"Otherwise, I shall report this to the Inspector General!"

"Understood, understood! Thank you greatly."

Chen Xuan responded with a low, deferential tone and a smile. He couldn't help but acknowledge that his current guise offered no advantage over the Qingsui lineage.

"Let's depart; we must return promptly!"

"Right!"

Chen Xuan stepped aside and soared towards the deeper recesses of the mountain.

"This is becoming increasingly difficult to tolerate."

"Let it be; we cannot afford to offend them."

"Look at you, possessing such formidable strength, yet you're merely guarding the gates at the fourth level of the Dao Realm, just like me. You should seek a change."

....

The voices of the two men faded into the distance as they moved further away, eventually becoming inaudible to Chen Xuan.

Roughly an hour later.

He finally reached the dwelling of the original occupant of this body.

Gazing upwards at the colossal trees, he noted that the residences of the Tree-man Race were nestled within these immense natural structures.

The entire region was densely populated with towering trees, each serving as an individual abode.

Chen Xuan's body ascended slowly until he reached a mid-level point on a giant tree, where he spotted an opening large enough for a person and entered.

The interior space was surprisingly spacious, comparable to a small courtyard, adorned with verdant vines that gracefully scaled the walls.

Nevertheless, the furnishings were sparse – merely a bed, a table, and a few stools, contributing to a sense of emptiness.

At the apex of the space rested a stone, emitting a soft, ethereal white luminescence.

"This place is truly quite shabby,"

Chen Xuan could not resist a wry observation.

The individual whose body he now inhabited was named Lan Yanlin, a disciple belonging to a minor clan. His duties involved patrolling the outskirts of the Hidden Forest Abyss, a task he undertook in rotation every three days.

It was his usual practice to reside in this modest dwelling, returning to his clan's main homestead only during specific intervals.

Chen Xuan settled himself casually onto a seat.

The Celestial Eye Forest constituted the most vital area for the Tree-man Race; his current identity granted him no access to such a place.

"I should have perhaps selected Qingsui."

"But who could have foreseen such a turn of events at the time!"

"Has Lan Yanlin returned?"

At that very moment, a familiar voice echoed from outside; it belonged to Qingsui, who had been accompanying him earlier.

"He has returned!"

As the words were spoken, Qingsui entered, a smile gracing his features. "I anticipated your return time; I figured you would be back by now."

"How did it go? Was everything satisfactory?"

Despite his family's considerable influence, a sense of unease lingered, prompting his inquiry.

"Everything is fine!"

"As I mentioned, Qingsui had only just departed, and they didn't voice much opposition. They merely issued a warning about repeating such actions, lest they escalate it to the Inspector General."

"Hmph!"

Qingsui let out a cold snort and took a seat opposite Chen Xuan, his expression one of clear disdain. "Merely them?"

Although his family was but a minor branch, and a particularly distant one at that, they still bore the esteemed Qingsui surname. Furthermore, their lineage had once produced a figure of great renown; was he truly expected to harbor fear?

Chen Xuan inwardly scoffed, his thoughts turning to the audacity of coming after him.

Indeed, regardless of the setting or even the difference in races, the young masters hailing from prominent families invariably displayed the same inherent character.

An abundance of arrogance!“But it holds no significance anymore; in a short while, I shall venture into the Celestial Eye Forest, and then this utterly dreadful task will be a thing of the past.” Qingsui declared with an air of superiority, shaking his head. This was the privilege afforded to members of prominent clans, a benefit bestowed upon those bearing the Qingsui name. Upon attaining the Dao Realm, they were granted another chance to enter the Celestial Eye Forest. Individuals of the common Tree-man Race were only permitted entry after reaching the Profound Realm. And typically, this opportunity arose but once in a lifetime. Unless one managed to cultivate to the fifth level of the Dao Realm, another chance would not be granted. However, for members of a prestigious family like Qingsui's, they possessed the advantage of entering once subsequent to achieving the Dao Realm. “When exactly?” Chen Xuan inquired. His thoughts began to churn with a scheme against Qingsui. To eliminate him and usurp his position. As for Lan Yanlin, if circumstances demanded, cultivating him until his Dantian exploded would suffice; after all, his origins were from an insignificant family, and his demise would carry little consequence. “In approximately half a month?” “However, you will likely find yourself isolated then; currently, the family’s operational capacity is strained. A small contingent remains in Yong’an Prefecture, while the overwhelming majority has departed for the Blood Cry Realm, leaving behind only a minuscule force to guard the estate.”
