Chapter 422: Chapter 186 Ancestral Spirit Shows Up (Please Subscribe)

The Chen Family Ancestral Hall is situated quite remotely, in the northern corner of the backyard, hidden behind the quarters where the Old Lady resides.

However, its doorway directly faces the main entrance of the Chen Residence, located on the central axis.

Moreover, the area it covers is not small; it is almost equivalent to the size of the Fanghua Garden where Chen Yi lived during his childhood.

Apart from the main hall where the spiritual tablets of the Chen Family ancestors are placed, there are two exhibition rooms on either side, displaying the relics of their forefathers.

There are trophies from battlefields, gifts bestowed by successive Emperors of the Wei Dynasty, but more so, the weapons and equipment used by generations of Marquis.

This is Chen Yi’s first time entering the Chen Family Ancestral Hall.

Even though he knew the location of the hall in his childhood, he never had the opportunity to come here.

To be precise, back then, he didn’t have the qualifications to enter the hall.

In the entire Chen Family, apart from a group of elderly family members, the current Family Head, and the direct descendants of the main lineage, no one else was qualified to enter the hall.

Among Chen Yi’s generation, according to the theory of bloodline inheritance, only one person had the privilege to enter the hall—the eldest son and grandson, Chen Yuan.

Now, however, he was brought to the hall by the Old Lady.

Moreover, the Old Madam Chen seemed to have the intention of letting him learn more, and did not directly lead him to where the ancestral spiritual tablets were but started from the exhibition rooms together with Chen Taixing.

Old Madam Chen, touching a rusty iron spear placed in the very center of the exhibition room, her aged face creased with wrinkles, said softly:

"Our Chen Family rose during the dark ages, following the founding emperor through wars in the south and north, successively defeating the Demon Court and the Southern Borders, and then campaigning to the eastern islands, eventually establishing the great foundation of the Wei Dynasty."

"At that time, when the Wei Dynasty was just founded and everything was in ruin, our ancestors overcome countless difficulties, following the then Prince Zhenbei to build what is now the Beixiong Pass."

"And the descendants of the Chen Family built this residence here in Kyoto Prefecture, so that the souls of our ancestors could have a place to rely on."

Chen Yi did not know why she mentioned these things, but simply supported the Old Lady along with his second uncle, Chen Taixing, and quietly listened to her narrative.

Most of the weapons here are not Magic Artifacts, but ordinary soldiers like the Spring Rain Sword hanging by his waist.

However, what is different is that each weapon here carries a strong scent of blood and emits a faint dark aura—the presence of demons.

The bloodiness, enduring through centuries or even millennia, starkly illustrates the fierceness of the Chen Family ancestors on the battlefields.

In fact, compared to the calm Chen Yi, Chen Taixing beside him was quite stirred at this moment.

It seemed as if standing here, hearing grandma narrate the deeds of the ancestors, he could personally feel the glory in them.

"This long spear in grandma’s hand is a sacred weapon used by our ancestor Chen Hua, who accompanied him through numerous battles in the south and the north for decades, until he fell in battle outside Beixiong Pass, and then the spear finally returned here."

"And this broadsword, was the weapon used by the second Duke Wuan, razor-sharp, once used to behead one of the thirty-six generals of the Demon Court."

"..."

Old Lady patiently explained each item in the exhibition room, recounting both their origins and the stories behind them with great familiarity.

But the more Chen Yi heard her say these things, the more peculiar he felt inside.

He increasingly felt that the Old Lady brought him to the ancestral hall with a special purpose in mind.

To succeed as the new Duke Wuan?

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Yi couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly.

Even if he were to take on the role of Duke Wuan, it shouldn’t be now, but rather should wait until Chen Taiping was present.

Until the three of them entered the hall, Chen Yi hadn’t figured out the Old Lady’s intention.

Upon arrival, the Old Lady seemed energized and signaled for the two to let go.

Then she lit three long incense sticks, bowed several times, and inserted them into the incense burner on the offering table, speaking sincerely to the sixty-five spirit tablets above:

"Ancestors above, I, the old body, bring Chen Family’s sixty-sixth generation direct descendant, Yi, to pay our respects."

Chen Yi, realizing later, imitated Chen Taixing and knelt on the cushion looking at the spirit tablets.

Before long.

He saw the incense smoke dispersing, gathering in front of the top spirit tablet and slowly coalescing into a faint apparition.

A young man in armor appeared seated in the midair.

His face was very young, but his expression bore a profound weariness, as if having seen through all worldly matters.

At the end of his chair was evidently connected to the very top spirit tablet—the ancestor Chen Hua.

He looked at Chen Yi, a slight smile appearing at his lips, "Yi Er? I remember."

"A child who made a big fuss during his first birthday rites; in a thousand years, only Chen Zun could compare with him."

Chen Yi:"..."

So the impression these old ancestors had of him was just from the first birthday rites.

Before Chen Yi and the Old Lady could bow, the incense smoke split apart, and another ethereal figure appeared.

Formed from gray mist, his features appeared slightly aged, dressed in a long robe, resembling an old scholar.
