When Xu Nian opened his eyes again, five days had passed.
During these five days, Zhao Yanyun had hardly left his side.
"You've finally awakened?" Zhao Yanyun revealed a delighted expression upon seeing Xu Nian wake up.
"Um, thank you!"
Xu Nian could tell from Zhao Yanyun's weary face that she hadn't rested well these past few days. He felt grateful and also a bit guilty.
His feelings for Zhao Yanyun were like those of a younger brother for an older sister, without much romantic love involved.
He didn't want Zhao Yanyun to harbor such feelings towards him.
After all, emotional debts are the hardest to repay in the human world.
As for Chen Yao, Xu Nian had once harbored so feelings due to the incident in the Demon Beast Forest.
However, he gradually realized that Chen Yao was not suitable for him, for he had a long and arduous path to walk.
Although Chen Yao was not bad, there was still sothing missing between the two, so the slight affection in Xu Nian's heart gradually faded.
Deep down, he truly liked Murong Xue, so he had vowed to find her back.
Of course, there was also Leng Yanran, the nominal master whose body he had taken.
Although Leng Yanran was his nominal master, both knew
that what had happened between them could not form a true master-disciple relationship.
Thus, his emotional life was complicated enough already.
He didn't want to involve Chen Yao and Zhao Yanyun as well.
Moreover, he had many other things to do.
According to Fang Chen, his mother was suffering.
He also had a half-sister by the sa mother, unsure whether she would recognize him as her brother.

This made him feel a heavy burden.
On the other side, hearing Xu Nian's thanks, Zhao Yanyun's smile stiffened sowhat.
It felt as if sothing had been lost in that mont.
The word 'thanks' felt distant.
But thinking about how there had never been a close relationship between her and Xu Nian, she harbored no complaints, albeit still feeling sowhat off.
Xu Nian, however, didn't think much of it and decided it was best to make a clean break now rather than fall deeper later.
"Where are Wudi and the others?" Xu Nian changed the subject.
"Oh, they have opened the doors of the Emperor Palace and have already passed the second challenge. They are now facing the third one, but it seems quite difficult," Zhao Yanyun managed to adjust her emotions and replied.
Xu Nian nodded, then headed towards the Emperor Palace.
When Xu Nian entered the Emperor Palace, Chen Wudi and the others were pacing in the hall, clearly encountering so difficulties.
Xu Nian approached, and upon seeing him awake, everyone showed a joyous expression and briefly explained the situation in the hall.
It turned out that the second challenge was a barrier that could only be opened with the Chen Family ancestral Combat Technique, so Chen Wudi and Chen Yao had easily passed through with their joint effort.
The third challenge, however, was more difficult; it required shattering a stele.
The stele was inscribed with a Combat Skill, which only soone who had grasped the essence of montum could cultivate.
Chen Wudi and the others couldn't do anything as none of them had reached the level of montum.
But this would not be difficult for Xu Nian as long as he cultivated this Combat Skill.
Then by shattering the stele, he could obtain the inheritance of the Emperor Palace.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian walked up to the stele and began to study the Combat Technique inscribed on it.
The skill was a palm technique nad Luotian Palm, a single move, but its power was imnse.
If he could comprehend it, its power would not be inferior to that of the Three-Forging Hamr teor.
Thus, Xu Nian sat down cross-legged in front of the stele and began to carefully contemplate it.
The text on the stele only recorded the basic operation thod of the Luotian Palm, but was unable to unleash its true power, only when montum was integrated could the true strength of this combat technique be realized.
Xu Nian had been sitting for three days, motionless throughout.
The others didn't dare disturb him, knowing that Xu Nian was in the throes of comprehension.
"Buzz!"
On the fourth day, Xu Nian finally opened his eyes and stood up.
"Did you grasp it?" Chen Wudi and the others imdiately crowded around, their faces filled with curiosity as they asked.
Xu Nian shook his head.
Seeing Xu Nian shake his head, disappointnt imdiately flitted across everyone's faces.
"Damn, what kind of crappy Emperor Palace legacy is this setting such difficult challenges for? How many people could grasp the essence before the age of thirty, let alone master this profound combat skill in such a short ti?" Chen Wudi couldn't help but curse.
Everyone agreed with a nod.
However, Xu Nian smiled and said, "You haven't let finish. By shaking my head, I ant I haven't completely grasped the essence of this palm technique. After all, I've only reached the First Level Realm of montum, but for now, breaking this stele shouldn't be a problem."
"Why didn't you say so earlier, wasting my feelings," Chen Wudi glared at Xu Nian.
Chen Yao and others also looked blaful.
Xu Nian gave a helpless smile and turned his gaze back to the stele, his eyes becoming sharp.
"Buzz!"
A powerful surge of Spiritual Energy erged in Xu Nian's palm, emitting strong fluctuations.
At that mont, Xu Nian's palm seed to be holding a giant mountain, with its heavy aura making it difficult for the surrounding people to breathe.
"Such a powerful aura, is the power of the Luotian Palm this great?" Chen An couldn't help but exclaim.
Just the aura alone made it hard for them to breathe, let alone imagine what it would feel like if this palm were to actually strike them.
"Shatter!"
At that mont, Xu Nian struck out with his palm, hitting directly on the stele in front of him.
Imdiately, the stele vibrated, covered in dense cracks, and the next mont, it collapsed with a boom.
This stele was covered in powerful formations, and only the Luotian Palm could break through them.
Now, under Xu Nian's single palm strike, the formations on it were completely destroyed, and the stele itself couldn't withstand this terrifying force, turning into rubble.
"Success, it's a success!" Seeing this, a look of excitent appeared on everyone's faces.
Beside them, Chen Xuanlong stroked his beard, his face beaming with a brilliant smile.
For thousands of years, their Chen Family finally had descendants who successfully passed through this Emperor Palace inheritance, though with the help of outsiders, it still was their family's fortune.
"Buzz!"
Just as the stele collapsed, the entire hall began to tremble.
Then the next mont, the hall disappeared, replaced by a void filled with stars.
"Is this... the Talent Phenonon world of the Ancestor?" Chen Xuanlong was the first to widen his eyes, staring at the world filled with stars.
"Talent Phenonon world?" Xu Nian's face showed a curious expression; this was the first ti he had heard this term.
Chen Wudi, Zhao Yanyun, and others were also stunned by the sight in front of them, their faces showing surprise.
"You have finally arrived." However, at that mont, a magnetic voice rang out.
Everyone turned their heads towards the direction of the voice.
They saw a middle-aged man in a gray cloth robe approaching, the man exhibiting no trace of aura, yet exuding a simple and unadorned presence.
Xu Nian frowned, wondering how there could be soone here?
Most importantly, his Spiritual Sense couldn't detect the other party.
"Ancestor?"
Chen Wudi, Chen Yao, including Chen Xuanlong, all showed expressions of surprise and excitent.
This middle-aged man looked exactly like the ancestor depicted in their Chen Family's genealogical records, the sa Supre Immortal Emperor ancestor from the past.
"Ancestor? Could it be that he isn't dead?" Xu Nian's heart was also filled with shock as he stared at the middle-aged man in astonishnt.
