Chapter 870 - 287: Ancient Memories Within the Bloodline

Facing Shen Chongming’s gaze, Shen Li pondered for a moment before suddenly looking at Shen Yuan and said, "Grandfather, have you already completely refined that Treasure Seal?"

Shen Yuan nodded slightly and took out a jade seal from his storage bag.

"The main body of the Treasure Seal has been given to Xiubai. This is a Sub-Seal, also connected to our Shen Family’s fate."

"Grandfather originally intended to give it to Chongming, granting him the authority of the Patriarch."

Shen Li nodded, "If so, perhaps I can give it a try."

"However, whether this can help Uncle, I am not certain."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming immediately spoke eagerly, "Having a method to try is better than doing nothing."

Shen Yuan also nodded in agreement, "Give it a try. Any effect might just be able to turn your uncle’s crisis into safety."

Witchcraft and Gu methods are more mysterious in certain aspects than the Path of Great Derivation. He couldn’t help Shen Wenxing right now, but Shen Li’s method might have some effect.

When Shen Li took that Jade Seal, a faint Spiritual Power Shield slowly manifested on his body, and he proceeded into the courtyard.

The torrential rain was kept at bay by the Spiritual Power Shield. Shen Li held the Jade Seal in both hands, his entire demeanor suddenly taking on a peculiar aura.

His mouth murmured ancient and esoteric incantations, and at this moment, the speed at which the rain fell from the sky gradually slowed down.

In the span of several breaths, all the raindrops within the courtyard were suspended in mid-air by a mysterious force.

Standing at the courtyard gate, Shen Yuan and Shen Chongming were gently pushed out of the small courtyard by a soft force.

The grandfather and grandson could only raise their Spiritual Power Shield, standing outside the courtyard, silently watching Shen Li perform the secret technique inside.

In the seemingly frozen space, Shen Li’s entire body began to emit rays of crimson-golden light.

These crimson-golden lights enveloped the Jade Seal in his hands, slowly lifting it into the void above his head.

At the same time, the tone of Shen Li’s incantations changed suddenly.

Outside the courtyard, although Shen Yuan and Shen Chongming didn’t understand the incantations, they could clearly feel the sacredness and devotion within them.

It was as if they were instantly transported back to a distant ancient barbaric era, witnessing scenes where the ancestors of humanity revered the heavens and earth, devoutly offering sacrifices with the strength of their entire tribe.

As Shen Li’s incantations became more hurried, those raindrops suspended in mid-air in the courtyard began to reflect a very peculiar image under the illumination of the crimson-golden light.

In the celestial curtain, countless figures dressed in animal skins and hemp clothes, barefoot with their hair loose, had mysterious totems adorning their bodies, devoutly prostrated in the void.

The incantations these figures murmured were identical to Shen Li’s.

This harmony, transmitted across a vast expanse of time, caused the surrounding space to tremble.

Outside the courtyard, upon hearing these urgent incantations, Shen Yuan and Shen Chongming suddenly felt their blood becoming hot.

This sensation seemed as if something deep within their bloodline was about to be awakened by these incantations.

Beside him, Shen Chongming clearly didn’t like this feeling and immediately wanted to mobilize his internal Spiritual Power to suppress the turmoil in his bloodline.

"Do not resist."

Shen Yuan suddenly spoke.

Shen Chongming looked at him with some confusion.

But at this moment, Shen Yuan’s eyes gleamed with brilliance, as if he had thought of something extraordinary.

Without speaking, Shen Chongming endured the discomfort in his bloodline and dared not operate his Spiritual Power to resist.

At this moment, the anomalies in the courtyard continued to change.

The crimson-golden glow behind Shen Li had, at some point, transformed into a phantom figure.

The figure was clad in a nine-colored feathered celestial robe, crowned with a Jade Flower Crown, cradling a Jade Seal with glowing hands, head slightly bowed, eyes tightly shut.

For a moment, Shen Yuan vaguely felt that the figure holding the Jade Seal seemed to be murmuring something to an even more mysterious existence.

"Grandfather... I can’t hold on any longer."

While Shen Yuan was pondering, Shen Chongming’s somewhat pained voice came from the side.

This boiling sensation in his blood was extremely uncomfortable for him.

Yet, just now, Grandfather Shen Yuan had instructed him not to resist.

"Hold on a bit longer."

Regaining his composure, Shen Yuan introspected and discovered that his blood was undergoing a transformation while boiling.

This transformation was evidently an ascension.

At this moment, he guessed that the secret technique Shen Li was performing was likely the Heavenly Prayer Skill within the Witchcraft and Gu Dao.

And this Heavenly Prayer Skill was performed using the Jade Seal, which was bound to the Shen Family’s fate, inadvertently affecting the Shen Family’s bloodline.

When they first acquired the White Jade Turtle Shell, the Shen Family’s bloodline had been activated.

Yet, over the years, this Bloodline Power hadn’t granted the Shen Family’s members any extraordinary talents.

If one had to say what benefits the bloodline brought, it was that the younger generation of the Shen Family had a much higher probability of having a Spirit Root compared to average Common People.

Their cultivation speed was indeed much faster than that of an average Cultivator.

Now, under the influence of Shen Li’s Heavenly Prayer Skill, the Shen Family’s bloodline seemed to be undergoing another ascension.

Shen Yuan could foresee that this ascension would lead to a qualitative leap in the family’s bloodline.

At this moment, Shen Chongming could no longer heed his words, as the turmoil in his blood made it impossible even to maintain the Spiritual Power Shield.

His body sat cross-legged in the pouring rain, motionless despite the relentless downpour.

The rain poured heavier. At the gate of the old residence, Shen Chonghong, Shen Chongxuan, and others stumbled through the heavy rain and ran over.

"Grandfather."

"Great-Grandfather."

"Is someone using a secret technique against our Shen Family?"

"Chongxuan feels the blood inside him is abnormally restless, as if it’s about to explode!"

"As does your grandson!"
