Chapter 274: Chapter 132 Ancestral Blessing
“Since no one’s withdrawing, let’s begin!”
The clan head of the Fu Family glanced over the crowd once more and, seeing that no one withdrew, he finally relaxed and turned to face the old ancestor.
The great-grandmother waved her hand, “Conduct the ancestral soul rituals, activate the Ten Thousand Fox Well!”
“Yes!”
The clan head of the Fu Family nodded, set up incense candles to start the soul rituals, followed tightly by Fu Yingying and others.
Zhang Xuan and others were merely objects charmed, considered “boyfriends” in terms of their previous lives, thus they were unqualified to participate and quietly waited nearby to rest.
While Zhang Xuan was sitting quietly, he saw Yan Sansan approaching, who looked over disdainfully, “If I remember correctly, you have a wife, don’t you?”
Under the influence of the Origin Hall Master, Yan Sansan’s memories after joining the Wanxiang Sect were erased, but his memories during the Heaven Mandate Hall assessment remained. Kong Shiyao seemed to be his disciple, and there were also two extremely beautiful women called ‘master’s wives.’
Thus, they must be his wives.
And yet he, like a whipped dog, had come here to participate in the assessment… Shameless!
“Yes, so what?” Zhang Xuan nodded.
“You do not match up to the Fu Family’s standards. Admit defeat and leave later. I might spare you from my hands, otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude…” Yan Sansan said, his hands clasped behind his back, his expression indifferent.
“Not being polite?” Zhang Xuan shook his head and was about to retort when he heard the sound of drums from the front.
Looking up, he saw that the soul rituals had reached their final moments. Suddenly, all the plaques of the ancestors began to tremble uniformly. In an instant, numerous strands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality were drawn from the Phantasm Space, hovering and wandering around the plaques.
This was the “Ancestral Blessing” that one could only receive from conducting ancestral soul rituals.
Every large family or sect typically practices the same Heavenly Mandate. Even though the cultivators have died, their comprehension of Heavenly Mandate still remains on the plaques. Through soul rituals, more Heavenly Mandate Vitality is extracted to nourish the descendants!
Such a blessing helps the descendants comprehend Heavenly Mandate better and inherit the will more effectively. Among the descendants, those with higher talents absorb more of this blessing.
For this reason, the great-grandmother intentionally proposed conducting the soul rituals, not only to comfort the ancestral spirits but also to see how much potential Fu Yingying truly had.
“Guessed right, it should start absorbing these Heavenly Mandate Vitalities now. I want to see how much can be absorbed…”
The great-grandmother smiled slightly and looked toward the plaques.
Although her strength was not weak, she still couldn’t see the Heavenly Mandate Vitality spreading from the Phantasm Space, but by focusing on the plaques in front, she could still see some signs.
The more the younger generations absorbed, the more the blessing they received. If they could make the plaques shake, it meant that the talents of the younger generations were fully recognized by the ancestors.
Hopefully, this time it could be achieved…
While she was looking at the plaques, Zhang Xuan turned his attention to the Heavenly Mandate Vitality filling the sky, filled with excitement.
Just worrying about the lack of available resources, and then they appeared just like that. Really, ask and you shall receive!
Ignoring the presumptuous Yan Sansan, with a move of his spirit, he immediately began devouring the surrounding Heavenly Mandate Vitality.
Whoosh!
Streams of pure strength swiftly coursed through his meridians into his body, and the next moment, they entered the Library of Heaven’s Path, rushing toward the Fox Charm Destiny’s stream.
In just a few breaths, this particular Destiny had grown significantly thicker.
Zhang Xuan frowned.
His idea was to let the Passionate Destiny devour and then take the opportunity to break through to the second realm. However, it was all swallowed by this one…
He had no intention of cultivating the Fox Charm Destiny, but it kept increasing, what was this, a joke?
“Passionate Destiny devouring…”
With a low call in his mind, he controlled the incoming Yuan Power to spread towards the Passionate Destiny, but before it even reached there, it was again devoured by the Fox Charm Destiny.
At this moment, the Fox Charm Destiny was like a sponge starved of water, unable to leak even a single drop…
After several unsuccessful attempts, Zhang Xuan realized.
“These Heavenly Mandate Vitality must be the ‘Ancestral Blessing,’ and can only be absorbed by the Fox Charm Destiny…”
Even though he thought it could help the Passionate Destiny progress, since it couldn’t, his interest quickly waned.
Nevertheless, the devouring speed was still too fast. In just a few minutes, it had absorbed tens of thousands of strands.
While in the same timeframe, Fu Yingying, Fu Qingqing, Fu Jingjing, and the other seven sisters combined had absorbed less than two hundred strands…
Their absorption was slow, but the great-grandmother couldn’t see that. All she saw was the gradual shaking of the plaques in front of her, starting from being easily manageable to increasingly rapid shaking, like banana leaves in the wind.
“Good, good, good…” The great-grandmother’s face flushed with excitement, almost bursting into laughter.
Before, it was just suspicion, but now she was one hundred percent certain.
Only the Supreme Secret Technique of the Fox Charm Destiny could devour strength so rapidly. Fu Yingying was indeed remarkable!
“That’s it, the ancestral soul rituals are now concluded…” Seeing the plaques shaking as if about to jump up, continuing might be too much for them, the great-grandmother waved her hand grandly.
Bang!
Before she could finish speaking, all the ancestral plaques simultaneously wailed like a hurt puppy, bursting apart, wood shavings flying, scattering across the ground.
“???” The great-grandmother’s eyelids twitched.
To think that even the ancestor’s plaques could be blasted by absorption, was the Supreme Secret Technique really that fearsome?
“Great-grandmother…” The clan head of the Fu Family was also dumbfounded. This situation was unheard of, and he had never even heard of it happening before.
“This… it’s fine!” Not convenient to reveal the reason, the great-grandmother waved her hand and quickly looked towards Fu Yingying, seeing this great-granddaughter also looking around with complete surprise, seemingly unaware of what had happened.
“Very well disguised…” The great-grandmother nodded in satisfaction.
Really a good child, possessing strength yet remaining low-key… Far better than the others.
“This…” Zhang Xuan also didn’t expect that just by absorbing some Heavenly Mandate Vitality, he could even blast the ancestral plaques. Feeling quite guilty, he looked around to see if anyone realized it was his doing, then couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Quietly looking into the Library of Heaven’s Path, blasting the Fu Family ancestral plaques also made his Fox Charm Destiny stream nearly double in thickness. It seemed like he was just one opportunity away from a breakthrough.
“Is this the pinnacle of the second realm?” Zhang Xuan scratched his head.
From comprehension to reaching the pinnacle of the second realm, it took less than two timing… The less he wanted this particular Heavenly Mandate to progress, the faster it progressed, whereas the Passionate Destiny he was actively trying to advance showed no movement at all…
What was going on!
In a moment, Zhang Xuan felt somewhat depressed.
Unlike his depression, Fu Yingying, Fu Jingjing, Fu Qingqing, and the others, feeling the now-absent Heavenly Mandate Vitality around them, were all dumbfounded.
Is it over already?
They thought the ancestral blessing would be significant, but didn’t expect… this was just pulling a fast one!
