"Just a bit of power from this drop of blood has elevated my Body Refinement level by one tier. Is it really that powerful?"

The more Shen Wang compared, the more shocked he became. What level of blood is this, and why is it so formidable?

Even if it only has an effect on the physical body and doesn't enhance his cultivation, it's definitely not simple.

His expression changed, and he got up, preparing to visit the family's Library Pavilion.

A declining cultivation clan surprisingly possesses such a treasure. He couldn't believe there wouldn't be any record of it in the family. Hopefully, he could find some clues.

Beyond this matter, he also wanted to investigate the ancestral tomb, where some unfathomable secrets might be hidden.

As he arrived at the Library Pavilion, Shen Qingyun was also heading in this direction.

"Didn't I tell you to rest? What are you doing here?" Shen Qingyun said disapprovingly.

"I've almost recovered and came to look up some information."

"Look up what? The Clan Protection Array is about to be breached. We need to pack things quickly. These various scriptures are the accumulation of our Shen Family over many years and cannot be lost."

Shen Qingyun handed a few Storage Pouches to Shen Wang: "Since you're not resting, come help collect the scriptures."

"No need, I can collect the entire Library Pavilion in one go."

Shen Wang shook his head.

"Are you sure?"

Shen Qingyun glanced at the three-story building housing tens of thousands of books, somewhat skeptical.

"No problem."

Shen Wang nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a sword light flew out, severing the pavilion and its foundation, followed by a white light enveloping the Library Pavilion.

Swish!

The enormous Library Pavilion was instantly collected by Shen Wang and entered the internal space of the Tai Chi Yin Yang Mirror.

Shen Qingyun's eyes widened at this scene, clicking his tongue: "You actually have a space artifact?"

Ordinary Storage Pouches and Storage Rings are storage magical artifacts with limited space, unable to contain such a large pavilion; it requires a more advanced storage treasure.

Shen Wang's ability to collect it indicates he has a storage treasure, something the entire family lacks.

"Pretty much."

Shen Wang didn't elaborate and said, "Let me ask you, was our Shen Family strong in the past?"

"Very strong. A thousand years ago, our Shen Family was a major cultivation clan, with more than one Golden Core ancestor."

Shen Qingyun recollected, "You want to ask something, ask me anything. If there are things I'm not supposed to tell you, I'll still tell you."

"What I know is that the family only relocated here a few hundred years ago. Is that true?"

Shen Wang continued to inquire.

"Yes, but this place was originally our Shen Family's territory, and during our peak, we controlled a thousand miles around, including the Fengming Mountain Range."

Shen Qingyun revealed much information: "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

Shen Wang didn't explain and said, "I heard people say our Shen Family suppresses evil spirits. Is it the filth from Fengming Mountain?"

"It's true, the ancestral ground of Fengming Mountain is quite unclean. In the past, with Golden Core level ancestors around, we could manage. Eventually, we couldn't, and we had to leave."

"So there really are evil spirits?"

"That I'm not so sure of; we simply cannot explore deeply. We can only follow the ancestral decree that clan members must be buried there after death and cannot be cremated or buried elsewhere."

After hearing this, Shen Wang asked suspiciously, "Why do we have this ancestral decree?"

"It should be that our Shen Family bloodline can suppress the evil spirits there."

Shen Qingyun was not entirely sure.

"Does our Shen Family truly have bloodline power?"

Shen Wang's gaze shifted.

"There are rumors, but no one has awakened it for hundreds of years."

Shen Qingyun laughed awkwardly.

Golden-green light blossomed between Shen Wang's brows, transforming into a mysterious rune. He said, "I think I've awakened it."

"What!"

Shen Qingyun's eyes widened, studying the rune on Shen Wang's brow intently. Thinking of something, he hurriedly took out a green jade pendant.

The rune on it was the same as the one on Shen Wang's brow.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Son, you've truly awakened the bloodline power. This is our clan's emblem. No one has awakened it for eight hundred years. I was beginning to doubt if it was even real."

Shen Wang felt a strange connection with the jade pendant in his father's hand and reached out, "Can I see it?"

"Of course, since you've awakened the bloodline power."

Shen Qingyun handed the jade pendant to Shen Wang with excitement, "No wonder you've been so outstanding. It's because you've awakened the bloodline power. Perhaps our Shen Family can restore its former glory."

Shen Wang said no more and took the jade pendant. The runes on it immediately glowed, and a beam of golden light directly entered his mind, transforming into heaps of information.

"Longevity Blood, Longevity Technique..."

Shen Wang obtained a cultivation technique, along with an introduction to his bloodline.

"How is it?"

Shen Qingyun asked anxiously from the side.

"We indeed have a bloodline, called the Longevity Bloodline. Once awakened, we can cultivate a technique called the Longevity Technique."

Shen Wang said, "Unfortunately, there's no information about why our family has to suppress evil spirits."

"Why bother? We've already given up on that place; what ability do we have to meddle now?"

Shen Qingyun was indifferent, "Focus on maximizing your bloodline power and finding a way to form a Core. That's how our Shen Family can rise again."

"Yes, the matters of the ancestral ground shall be discussed later. The immediate priority is to escape first."

Shen Wang concealed his bloodline power, and the clan emblem faded.

"Keep this token well; it may still be useful to you. You don't need to return it." Shen Qingyun declined the token.

"Alright, is there anything else to take? I can help."

Shen Wang offered.

"Nothing else, just those books. Everything else only needs to be valuable to warrant taking."

Shen Qingyun shook his head.

"Dad, I've already packed the herbs!"

A crisp and melodious girl's voice called from a distance. Shen Wang turned and saw a young girl in a green embroidered long dress. His eyes lit up, "Nannan?"

"Brother Liu?"

The young girl, beautiful and adorable, wore a braid, and her round face was full of surprise tinged with uncertainty.

"It's me. I haven't changed much. You wouldn't fail to recognize me, would you?"

Shen Wang smiled. This was his closest younger sister, named Shen Yuanyuan, nicknamed Nannan. She used to trail behind him frequently as a child.

This younger sister has no Spirit Root talent. Now in her martial path, she has achieved the Innate level, which shows that even without Spirit Root, becoming Innate in a cultivation clan is quite easy. But to advance further, one must rely on oneself, as the family won't provide many resources.

"Brother Liu, it's really you."

Shen Yuanyuan was filled with disbelief and ran over excitedly, but then paused shyly.

Seeing his butterfly-like younger sister, Shen Wang walked over and embraced her, "After a few years, are you becoming distant with your sixth brother?"

Only then did Shen Yuanyuan embrace Shen Wang, giggling foolishly, "A bit. I didn't know how to face you, Brother Liu."

"I'll always be your sixth brother; there's nothing you can't face."

Shen Wang pinched his sister's chubby cheeks, "Not bad, little sister, reaching the Innate Fourth Layer at thirteen."

"Hehe."

Shen Yuanyuan laughed happily, "Brother Liu, why haven't you come back all these years? Nannan always wanted to go with you to eat candied hawthorn."

"There will be chances in the future."

Shen Wang patted his sister's head.

"Enough reminiscing; let's quickly meet with the others and delegate tasks."

Shen Qingyun interrupted the siblings, saying to Shen Wang, "You suggested splitting up, and I support it. Everyone together is too large a target."

"During the escape, we must stay on one route and cannot head directly to the Celestial Travel Sect. Otherwise, we could be intercepted midway."

Shen Wang planned to head to the Kunyu Mountain Range first and arrange for a group, with only a few heading to the Celestial Travel Sect.

Because the Demon-Banning Guard is more prevalent on that side, and who knows if the Black Death Blade King has set too many traps, leading to a dismal encounter with the Celestial Travel Sect.

"You're right, I still need to plan the route."

Shen Qingyun nodded.

Shen Wang took this opportunity to mention Kunyu Mountain Range without revealing he had property there, only noting that Kunyu Mountain Range was remote enough to evade the Demon-Banning Guard.

If they managed to reach it, he would then arrange for the Shen Family members to enter, avoiding unnecessary disappointment should any incident prevent them from proceeding.
