Chapter 433 Playing Tricks on the First Clan
Why haven't our ancestors shown their power yet?
The elders of the First Clan all wore expressions of confusion.
As is customary, all that is needed is to offer up a member of the clan, and the ancestors in the tomb will give revelation, pointing out the direction of the eternal path.
The reason why the major families changed their thinking and chose to cooperate with the Eternal True Realm is related to the revelations from the ancestral tombs of the major families.
"The ancestral graves are located in the original land, which can protect our clan and ensure its long-term prosperity. Many ancestors live forever in the graves and have glimpsed the gate to eternity..."
"By offering the blood of my people, we can receive revelation from our ancestors..."
"This time it didn't work. Could it be because the sacrifice was made from a collateral branch of the bloodline?"
Everyone spoke up, expressing their confusion.
Even the clan leader, First Mountain, frowned slightly and looked at the elder who was passing on his skills, First Mingjue.
The First Master understood the First Mountain's meaning and hurriedly reported it:
"Reporting to the clan leader, these disciples have been practicing the Blood Cleansing Technique for some time now. I have examined them all, and their blood essence has been cleansed and purified; its purity is now almost indistinguishable from that of our clan's blood..."
"Besides, they are a branch of my clan, sharing the same bloodline, so there shouldn't be any problems..."
First Mountain nodded in agreement. The decision to use a collateral branch to offer sacrifices in place of the main branch was made after discussion among the clan leaders.
After all, the number of disciples of the main sect is ultimately limited, and the karma of the entire clan will undergo unpredictable changes.
Sacrificing a side branch is the best option.
Moreover, the effect should be possible according to calculations... Why is the tomb so quiet now?
After a moment's thought, he stepped forward and lit the "immortal incense" on the offering table in front of the ancestral tomb.
The so-called immortal incense is incense that embodies the power of faith and comes from the eternal true realm.
These items were crafted by Dongya and other Eternal Kings using their surplus incense and faith power, and were given to the First Clan as a gift to establish friendly relations and treaties with the Seven Great Clans.
This item was also quite popular with our ancestors.
As the smoke from the incense rose, he immediately bowed deeply and then proclaimed in a loud voice:
"The Great Way is lost, and eternity is elusive; we beseech our ancestors to guide future generations—"
His voice reverberated throughout the valley and even reached inside the tomb.
Many elders were waiting.
After a long while, suddenly, the smoke from the offering table transformed into golden characters. Everyone was startled and quickly looked over. One elder even recited the characters aloud:
"The path to eternity lies solely in battle; through battle, one can comprehend the Dao and thus access the gate to eternity."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was taken aback.
"To comprehend the Dao through battle, one can see the gate to eternity? Is this the law of eternity?"
"Our race has mastered many aspects of the Way of War, but we have never found any trace of the Gate of Eternity among them..."
"Our clan has been worshipping them for many years, but this is the first time that our ancestors have directly pointed out the path to the Gate of Eternity. There must be a profound meaning behind this!"
All the elders and others were excited.
Even the clan leader, First Mountain, was surprised at this moment, and then overjoyed!
They have served this place for countless years, but after each offering, although some revelation would appear, those revelations were difficult to understand, requiring repeated contemplation and interpretation.
But this time, the insight given was very concise and to the point!
Could it be that their First Race is finally about to find the Gate of Eternity?
However, he also had some doubts. The message that came from the tomb during the last offering was clearly related to the ancestral gods and the Heavenly Emperor of the Eternal True Realm. That was why they chose to cooperate with the Eternal King...
Now it directly points out that the path to eternity requires enlightenment through battle? This seems to contradict the previous revelation...
"How can one attain eternal enlightenment through battle? I humbly request the guidance of my esteemed ancestors!"
Without hesitation, he lit three more sticks of precious incense.
Under the tense gaze of everyone, another line of words emerged from the smoke of the burning incense, ever-changing and mysterious:
"Burn a sufficient amount of incense of faith and then depart. We will use the power of faith to condense the body of a woman. One day later, she will emerge from this place. You may send your clan's experts to hunt her down. This woman will be connected to all the Great Daos, becoming the embodiment of the Dao, and possessing the appearance of ignorance."
"If you can defeat it, you will see eternity!"
The elder who was transmitting the power recited the first secret formula, and he was instantly excited!
"My God, our ancestors have appeared! Our ancestors are truly about to appear!"
He was extremely excited and said, "Our clan shall prosper! Our clan shall prosper! Of the seven great clans in the world, only our ancestors have shown such divine power, directly bestowing upon us divine bodies?"
“Indeed, the ancestors of all the original races have always given extremely vague guidance and revelations. Our ancestors have given such clear instructions, and even asked us to use the power of incense and faith to create a body so that our race can find the gate to eternity... This is unprecedented!”
"The ancestors of other races, let alone directly intervene in the present world like this, even their revelations had to be said in roundabout ways."
"Our ancestors must have greatly improved their strength, otherwise they would never have been able to do this!"
The others were equally overjoyed.
The guidance our ancestors are giving us today is more than what they have given us in the past few decades.
Furthermore, they will even bestow upon a Dao body to hone the skills of the First Clan's experts!
"Chief, this is wonderful! This is great news, truly great news!"
The First Insight couldn't help but speak excitedly.
The First Mountain was also slightly stunned at this moment, and then took a deep breath!
"Our clan... shall prosper!"
He also spoke up.
Originally, he only wanted to use those collateral bloodlines to ask the ancestors about matters related to the ancestral gods and the Heavenly Emperor, but the result was a pleasant surprise.
"Someone, immediately bring all the incense of faith here and burn it as an offering to our ancestors!"
He gave the order directly, adding, "Furthermore, summon the entire clan, all geniuses, to gather here immediately and prepare to fight against the Dao Enlightenment cultivator!"
All the elders nodded in agreement.
"As ordered!"
They left immediately and began preparations.
Soon after, the incense of faith that the Eternal King Dongya had given to their clan was all brought over and burned to ashes before the offering table, with large amounts of smoke rising and falling into the tomb chamber.
"Everyone, evacuate immediately! We'll return in one day!"
Then First Mountain issued an order: "We've just caused trouble. During this time, no one is allowed to listen to or spy on this place, otherwise our First Clan may cause a great disaster."
He led everyone away, and only stopped and camped outside the mountains.
"Our ancestors will surely lead our clan to great prosperity."
"From this day forward, our race will discover the Gate of Eternity, and the other six races will all bow down before us!"
"Wait, it will only take one day!"
The entire First Clan was extremely excited.
……
And this moment.
"They're finally gone!"
Li Lan finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Just as he was communicating with the First Clan, the black mist in the tomb chamber was getting closer and closer to this place. Obviously, it wouldn't be long before the other party would arrive.
"This power of faith will come in handy..."
He used the power of reincarnation to guide and forge a great deal of faith power, and soon created a faith light array in this place. If the opponent were to descend, it would be blocked by these things.
Then, without hesitation, he opened the door to the tomb and went out.
The people of the First Clan have completely left, and no one has come to investigate. Clearly, the First Clan is quite "adherent to their ancestral teachings".
He sent a message to the big black dog, then quickly left in another direction.
Not long after, he had left the mountain range.
"Woof, how's it going? Have you scouted the path yet? Let's go, I can't wait!"
The big black dog looked on with anticipation.
But Li Lan smiled slightly, waved his hand, and tossed a dark object to the big black dog, saying, "I've brought out all the treasures inside. This is a great tonic, so I'm giving it to you."
Upon hearing this, the big black dog stared in disbelief. It had originally agreed with Li Lan that Li Lan would act as an inside man to investigate before it took action.
I didn't expect Li Lan to be so direct and go it alone?
It picked up the thing Li Lan had given it, took a bite, and found it quite difficult to chew. However, it did contain powerful energy, and it couldn't help but exclaim with delight, "Indeed, it's good! A good thing indeed!"
It swallowed the black substance in a few gulps, then fixed its gaze on Li Lan with a sinister look, and said, "Woof, how much good stuff did you take? You think you can get rid of this little bit? Take out all the good stuff and divide it equally, equally!"
Li Lan smiled and said, "There's nothing else of value here. Let's leave first."
The big black dog nodded, and with a swipe of its paw, it tore open the void, and Li Lan and its figure vanished instantly.
……
Time flies.
the next day.
"Chieftain, according to the ancestors' instructions, we can now enter the mountains!"
The First Principle couldn't hold back any longer.
Not only him, but now all the elders and elites of the clan yearn for it.
First Mountain nodded solemnly and said, "Let's go!"
Immediately, the entire clan followed him into the mountains, and before long they arrived at the valley and the ancestral graves.
"This junior from the First Mountain has come to pay respects to all our ancestors!"
First Mountain stepped forward and performed a deep bow before the offering table.
However, his voice echoed throughout the valley, while the ancestral tomb remained silent and unmoved.
"What's going on..."
"Where are our ancestors? Why haven't they responded?"
"That's not right..."
For a moment, everyone was puzzled.
First Mountain was also somewhat hesitant. Could there be some problem? Yesterday's responses from many ancestors, while surprising, still felt somewhat abrupt. He hoped something might have gone wrong...
But just as his worries began to arise, a delicate shout suddenly came from within the tomb!
Immediately afterwards, the ancestral grave shook violently.
Boom!
As if some force exploded in the tomb, the stone door of the burial chamber was blasted away, and the colorful light of faith overflowed.
A woman has emerged from among those many lights.
She was dressed in a golden gown, radiating a sacred golden light from head to toe, a symbol of immortality and the source of eternity!
Her appearance was stunningly perfect, as if the God of Creation had used all the beauty in the world to adorn her.
Her eyes were like the brightest stars, her face was perfectly shaped, her nose was straight and upturned, and her lips, though slightly red, carried a hint of coldness, yet added a touch of aloof beauty.
"A Daoist nun bestowed upon us by our ancestors!?"
"It must be her. She possesses an aura of eternity and immortality, and it is so perfect. Only the ancestors could have created such an unparalleled beauty, a Daoist goddess!"
“Indeed, when she made her move just now, I clearly felt that she seemed to have incorporated many great Dao principles…”
