Chapter 72: Ancestral Grounds
Ancestral grounds are the core of every Sects and clan. The Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom has a history of tens of thousands of years. There are many figures, Who transcended beyond Nirvana Realm. They made their own clans and sects, Hoping their teachings and bloodline shall continue.
Once a cultivator reaches Origin Core Realm, They would able to understand the heavenly laws which grant them unimaginable powers. In that stage, They can pass down their ability and comprehension of heavenly laws through their bloodline.
A powerful bloodline means, The descendent's cultivation talent will soar. For example, if the progenitor comprehended the laws of Fire, Then the descendants will have a natural affinity towards the fire. Moreover, The descendent might even gain the Primordial Spirit of their ancestor.
The stronger the bloodline, The powerful the descendent will be. So basically, It's a cheat for powerful clan's young masters and misses. Where an ordinary cultivator struggles to advance forward, These youngsters can just easily cultivate, thanks to their bloodline.
Ancestral grouds are the place, Where the powerful ancestors store their ultimate inheritance, hoping one of their talented descendent may gain it.
The time came near. Nine young men of the Mo clan stood in the main courtyard, along with Yang Shi. Yang Shi saw the solemn face of Mo Yi. His eyes were both confused and determined.
" As you know. Once in every five years, The ancestral ground opens. It's the chance for all of you, To gain the treasures and the techniques of our ancestors. You also have the chance to get the blessing of our progenitor and acquire the Primordial Spirit- The Crimson Blaze Stallion, An Imperial spirit." The Patriarch of Mo clan declared.
" You will only have two days. If you get trapped there, Then you have to wait for another five years to get out of there. Are you ready?" The patriarch shouted.
" YES!!!" Every young man of Mo Family shouted.
" Disperse." The patriarch ordered. Then he slowly walked towards Mo Yi. Mo Yi tried to look away, But the patriarch smiled as he patted on his head.
" Don't look down on me old man. I will definitely bring the Baleful Wind Flower." Mo Yi said.
" Silly brat, Don't be stressed. Give your everything to gain the inheritance of our ancestor." Patriarch Mo Shan laughed.
Then he went to an altar and put a strange rune at the center of it. Suddenly pillars of light soared to the sky, opening a doorway in the altar.
A wave of pure spiritual qi gushed out, pressuring everyone in the courtyard. Other than the elders and Yang Shi, almost everyone felt that they were under a mountain. Even Mo Yi couldn't help but sweat a bit. Mo Shan looked at the calm composure of Yang Shi and secretly approved.
" Not Bad, That kid Yang Shi has a physique like a tiger and vital like a dragon. My useless son really made some good friends." Mo Shan thought.
" Enter! The pure spiritual Qi will greatly beneficial to you." Mo Shan shouted. All the ten participants, including Yang Shi, entered the passage. The pressure and spiritual qi grew denser after the gates closed.
They arrived in catacombs. In front of them were many tunnels. Mo Yi pointed in one direction and said, " That's the way of ancestral hall, Let's go there to worship our ancestor."
Yang Shi followed Mo Yi and reached in a giant hallway. Yang Shi saw seven giant statues over there. As Yang Shi was looking at them, He suddenly felt tremendous pressure.
" This power... It's coming from the statues. Fuck, I think these old foggies are more powerful than Violet Palace Expansion Realm." Yang Shi muttered. Mo Yi and several others sat in front of the statues.
Yang Shi could see a strange rune appeared on the forehead of the Mo clan's youngsters. Everyone's rune was in faint orange color, except Mo Yi.
" Ah, That's the bloodline of Mo Clan. The brighter the rune, The pure the bloodline will be." Yang Shi enlightened. He saw the rune of Mo Yi is brighter than everyone. It almost turned golden.
" Perhaps, I could also try?" Yang Shi closed his eyes and tried to resonance with the aura of the statue. Suddenly, Yang Shi felt a strange sensation from the statues.
The statues began to tremble as a golden light shone on Yang Shi. Yang Shi could feel a summoning call from the statue.
" What The Fuck? How can the ancestral power of the Mo Clan resonate with my bloodline?" Yang Shi astonished as the aura entered his body. He felt a vast ocean is in pouring inside his body. Soon Yang Shi saw that a rune condensed on his palms. It was the same rune as the forehead on Mo Clan's descendent.
He could feel the surging vitality from it. Yang Shi could also feel a faint presence in it. It's like a spirit within it.
" Damn, It's the bloodline seal of Mo clan's ancestor. They contained the law of heavens in their statues. It didn't appear for any of Mo clan's descendent, But it appeared for me. Hmm... If I absorb it, Not only I will gain the pure bloodline of the Mo clan, But Also the primordial Spirit - Crimson Blaze Stallion. But, Do I need that?" Yang Shi questioned himself.
" Hmm, Rather than absorbing it, I will give this chance to Mo Yi." Yang Shi thought as he pressed the rune on Mo Yi's forehead.
Suddenly, Mo Yi gritted his teeth as he vomited a mouthful of blood. Yang Shi hurriedly said, " Brother Mo Yi, Endure this. A great fortune has arrived for you."
" Arrgh" Mo Yi roared as the rune on Yang Shi's palm slowly merged with the rune on Mo Yi's forehead. The rune brightened on his forehead.
Till now most of the Mo Clan's youngmen had opened their eyes. They were frightened to saw Yang Shi pressing his palm on Mo Yi's forehead.
" Wha- What are you doing to your young master?" One of them shrieked.
" Don't worry. He is alright. I am just lending him a hand." yang Shi said as he focused on Mo Yi. Suddenly, The statue of the ancestors of the Mo Clan lit up, and a terrifying pressure made all the Mo Clan's youngsters kneel on the ground.
" Ancestor." One of the young men knelt and shouted. Similar to him, Everyone prostrated before the statues. Mo Yi opened his eyes and let out a roar. The rune on his forehead lit up as a phantom appeared behind him.
Its hair flowed like a dancing flame. With a crimson eye and two golden antlers, The phantom neighed.
" Heavens, Th-That's our ancestor's Primordial Spirit- The Crimson Blaze Stallion. Our Young master did it." The youngsters of Mo Clan danced with joy.
Even Mo Yi couldn't help but cry. Then he saw Yang Shi standing in front of him, with a smiling face.
" Brother Yang, I will remember your favor until my death." Mo Yi said with a solemn face.
" Brother Mo Yi, You are shaming me. How there can be any favors between brothers." Yang Shi laughed as he softly slapped on Mo Yi's shoulder.
Everyone in that place laughed with happiness.
