Xu Nian progressed on his journey, continuously engaging in conversation with the elder.
Eventually, he discovered the elder's identity: it turned out this elder was none other than Chen Tiansheng's Ancestor, the last Saint of the Chen Family.
Thus, Xu Nian revealed the identity of the elder to Chen Yao and Chen Wudi. Both were shocked upon hearing this and began to admire this unseen ancestor in their hearts.
Chen Xuanlong, before entering the ancestral land, was a Nine-star Marquis Level powerhouse. When his end was near, he entered the ancestral land.
Unexpectedly, just before his death, he serendipitously broke through to the Holy Realm.
He could have been immortal, but because he had realized it too late, his body had already transformed to dust, leaving only a wisp of Spiritual Sense wandering within the ancestral land.
In theory, his newly-ascended Saint-level Spiritual Sense shouldn't have been too strong and should have dissipated quickly.
