Chapter 2962: The Three Ancestors

Afterwards, Jian Chen learnt about the Moon God Hall from He Qianchi, except there were not any major differences compared to the information He Qianqian had provided him with in the Darkstar World. It was all just the leader of the Moon God Hall, Nan Potian, had been hunted down by the Empyrean Demon Lord. Even when he fled into the Ice Goddess Hall, he was unable to escape death.

However, after mentioning Nan Potian’s fate, He Qianchi hesitated again. He added, “However, Nan Potian is quite a crafty person, and he’s very much in favour with the Flame Reverend. He’s only reached Grand Prime recently, just a First Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, but he’s even more important to the Flame Reverend than a few reputed Grand Primes that have proven themselves.”

“On top of that, Nan Potian possesses many treasures that the Flame Reverend has bestowed him with, so it’s really difficult to say whether he’s actually dead or not right now.”

“When Nan Potian fled into the divine hall, the Empyrean Demon Lord tailed right behind him, but in the end, only the Empyrean Demon Lord emerged, which was why many of us thought that Nan Potian had died.”

“After all, it should be absolutely impossible for Nan Potian to escape from the Empyrean Demon Lord with his strength at the First Heavenly Layer of Grand Prime under normal circumstances.”

“You suspect that Nan Potian is still alive?” Jian Chen’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

He Qianchi shook his head. “I don’t know. Nan Potian has only just become a supreme expert after all. Apart from the fact that the Flame Reverend stands behind him, he’s not really worthy of our Heavenly Crane clan’s attention. We obviously won’t go out of our way to delve into the matters regarding him.”

“Then what about fairy Hao Yue of the Moon God Hall?” Jian Chen followed up.

“Our Heavenly Crane clan hasn’t been paying any special attention to news regarding the daughter of the previous Moon God. After all, it hasn’t reached the level worthy of our Heavenly Crane clan’s attention yet. If it were not for the fact that Qianqian specially asked the clan for this information last time, which was why the clan sent people to gather this information, we probably wouldn’t even know the Moon God’s daughter existed at all,” said He Qianchi. The Heavenly Crane clan was far too powerful on the Ice Pole Plane. Even their Grand Prime ancestors amounted to several. With how powerful of a force they were, they previously did not pay any attention to the Moon God Hall at all.

Before Nan Potian, the Moon God Hall could only be regarded as a second-rate organisation on the Ice Pole Plane. Even their greatest expert, the past Moon God, was only a Chaotic Prime.

Why would a force like that garner special attention from the Heavenly Crane clan?

Afterwards, Jian Chen asked a few other questions. He learnt a lot of secret, useful information from He Qianchi. In short, he had benefited tremendously.

“I have one final request. I hope the senior of the Heavenly Crane clan with great accomplishments in the Way of Alchemy can teach me alchemy,” Jian Chen stated his final request.

When he heard that was all Jian Chen wanted, He Qianchi finally eased up inside. He smiled in ease and delight. “I can’t make that decision in the ancestor’s place, but I will convey your request to her. It shouldn’t be too big of a problem if the ancestor takes the three catties of Soil of Divine Blood suunto consideration though.”

Very soon, they had reached a deal. After recording a memory crystal as evidence, he passed all three catties of Soil of Divine Blood to He Qianchi.

With the Soil of Divine Blood in hand, He Qianchi struggled to hide his excitement. He bade farewell to Jian Chen in a hurry before rushing back to the Heavenly Crane clan with He Qianqian.

“Three catties of Soil of Divine Blood. This is three whole catties of Soil of Divine Blood. We can refine so many cauldrons of Ancestral Blood Pills with this. This is just far too significant to our Heavenly Crane clan. I need to report this good news to the ancestors immediately.” He Qianchi was utterly overjoyed on the way back. He was so excited that his face became flushed.

At this moment, three figures gathered together in the very depths of the Heavenly Crane clan, in a majestic high grade divine hall that emanated with tremendous pressure.

The three of them all shone resplendently, and they were also wrapped in the glow of laws and ways, varying in strength.

The three of them were the three Grand Prime ancestors of the Heavenly Crane clan!

They were also the Heavenly Crane clan’s source of stability!

“The Heaven’s sect wants to exchange a tael of Soil of Divine Blood for a catty of Divine Metal of Profound Ice from us. What do the two of you think about that?”

One of the three ancestors said gently. Her voice was crisp and absolutely wonderful, like the sounds of nature. Through her voice alone, it was possible to tell that she was a young woman.

Between the three of them hovered a letter made from unknown material.

“We all know just how precious Divine Metal of Profound Ice is. Even our Heavenly Crane clan only has a catty of it, yet the Heaven’s sect actually wants to use a measly tael of Soil of Divine Blood to exchange for it. They’re out of their minds.”

“With how unruly and out of their minds the Heaven’s sect is behaving, that individual in their sect must be close to breaking through the Sixth Heavenly Layer and formally striding into the realm of the Seventh Heavenly Layer. Once he reaches the Seventh Heavenly Layer, our Heavenly Crane clan will stand no chance against him. Sigh, it’s a pity that the sovereign the Ice Goddess and her majesty the Snow Goddess aren’t around. Otherwise, even if the Heaven’s sect is a hundred times bolder, they’d never find the courage to behave with such impudence.”

“We definitely can’t come to terms with this, because it’s no longer a matter of our interests. It directly touches on the dignity of our Heavenly Crane clan. If the Heaven’s sect wants to fight, then we’ll fight. If worst comes to worst, we’ll just eat the Ancestral Blood Pill and achieve bloodline atavism. Afterwards, if we unleash the Divine Formation of the Crane Ancestor together, it’s not like we don’t stand a chance against a Seventh Heavenly Layer Grand Prime.”

The three ancestors spoke one after another. Through their voices, the three of them should have been a young woman, a middle-aged man, and an old man. Their ages differed.

“The Heaven’s sect doesn’t just have a single ancestor. Even if the three of us keep one busy, what about the remaining ancestor?” At this moment, the young woman spoke, “Though, if I ingest three Ancestral Blood Pills at the same time, I’m confident enough to stop a Seventh Heavenly Layer expert for an hour through the power of bloodline atavism. If I unleash the forbidden technique regardless of the consequences, I can even injure him to a certain degree. However, these Ancestral Blood Pills need to be refined with the Soil of Divine Blood. Ancestral Blood Pills without the Soil of Divine Blood are nowhere close to possessing such effects.”

Hearing that, the old man said as well, “Ancestral Blood Pills without the Soil of Divine Blood can only increase a fraction of our strength, and we’ll enter a period of weakness every time we ingest them. On the other hand, not only can Ancestral Blood Pills with the Soil of Divine Blood increase our battle prowess by a heavenly layer, it won’t lead to any side effects either. There won’t be a period of weakness.”

“Except Soil of Divine Blood is extremely difficult to gather. The clan does have a few Ancestral Blood Pills refined with Soil of Divine Blood in storage, but the supply is actually running low already if you consider what we’ve used up over the years as well as the fraction that has declined in quality due to sitting in storage for too long.”

“If we had ample Ancestral Blood Pills refined from the Soil of Divine Blood, then we might stand chance against the Heaven’s sect.”
