Chapter 1238: Chapter 889: Inheritance Land 2

Shen Tang then asked, "Regarding the origin and meaning of this totem, how much more does mother know? Could you tell us everything?"

The Sky King Tian Hui sighed lightly, "I have nothing to hide from you; I do know some legends. But after all, they are just legends, and I don’t know their truth. If you want to hear them, then I’ll tell you."

"Legend has it that the ancestors of our Golden Feathered Roc Clan were from the Ancient Divine Clan, the Martial God Generals who mastered the light and were revered by all beasts, possessing the Power of Evil Breaking that pierces through darkness... But over the millennia, the power of the descendants has long declined. Even I, as the Clan Leader, do not have a pure-blood lineage. The Golden Feathered Roc Clan now can no longer bear the totem passed down by the ancient ancestors."

Shen Tang looked puzzled, "But back when Lu Xiao returned to the clan, he awakened the bloodline of the Golden Feathered Roc Clan through trials and also mastered the Light Ability."

Tian Hui shook his head and sighed, "No matter which clan a mixed-blood Beastman belongs to, as long as there is a trace of Golden Feathered Roc blood in their body, they can awaken the bloodline power through trials and cultivate the clan’s superpower. But it’s only faster and slightly stronger than usual Beast Clan cultivation, far from the Divine Power of the legendary ancestors."

"Tangtang, what mother said is right. The power I awakened is far from the true pure lineage." Lu Xiao deeply understood, as he successfully awakened his Light Ability after the trials, the power was indeed strong, but he used it very rarely in battle, only when his life was on the line.

Lu Xiao could clearly sense that it was difficult for him to control this powerful force. This sense of restraint cannot be compensated by diligent cultivation but is deeply limited by his own bloodline and talent. Perhaps he will never be able to master the true Light Ability.

The Sky King Tian Hui looked at the egg in the swaddle, unable to conceal the affection in his tone, "But this child is different, different from all of us. Ancient totem patterns actually appeared on the egg; I can feel that pure and powerful force, much like the legendary ancestor God Race."

Shen Tang was incredulous at the Sky King’s firm words. But this child is just a hybrid, and besides, why did the other egg suddenly disappear—she was really puzzled by all these mysteries.

"Xiao Tang, this is all I know. If you want to know more, you need to wait until you feel better, and I will personally take you to the Inheritance Land. It is said that there is ancestral power left there, which may solve your doubts."

Shen Tang’s expression suddenly turned joyful, "Thank you, mother! There’s no time to lose; let’s set off now!"

Jia Lan said worriedly, "Your body..."

"I have the Healing Ability; my body is already recovered!"

"Alright then, prepare yourselves, see if there’s anything you need to explain, then follow us."

Deep into the night, the Abyss came upon them; although they had prepared in advance, they still lost many people. Many buildings in the Royal Palace were destroyed, and outside the nursery, numerous corpses were stacked. Shen Tang used her Healing Ability to resurrect the fallen Beastmen.

She had just given birth and had used up a lot of energy, her body’s energy depleted to the extreme. But she was unwilling to rest, wanting to hurry to the Inheritance Land of the Golden Feathered Roc Clan.

Lu Xiao transformed into his beast form, carrying her on his back as they traveled.

Shen Li, Xiao Jin, and Jia Lan, were riding on other Feather Clan Beastmen, accompanying them from behind, also serving as protection.

Shen Tang lay in the fluffy feathers, gently breathing in the scent emanating from the Eagle Beast, feeling very safe and warm. She lowered her head to kiss him gently, purely an uncontrollable instinct.

That tingling sensation immediately spread throughout her body, like fireworks bursting in her chest. Lu Xiao said softly, "Be good, take a nap, I’ll call you when we arrive."

"Alright."

The drowsiness within Shen Tang came upon her, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, they had arrived at the Yunding Empire. The Inheritance Land does not permit Foreign Clans to enter, and even the Beastmen of the clan are not allowed to enter, only the Clan Leader and the High Priest are granted access. Therefore, Shen Li, Xiao Jin, and Jia Lan, not wishing to break the rules, stayed in the Royal Palace to wait. The Sky King took Shen Tang and Lu Xiao to the Inheritance Land.

In the deepest part of the valley, a huge altar was hidden. Five towering stone pillars surrounded the altar, with many exquisite patterns carved on the pillars, like grand epics. Through the erosion of thousands of years, many of the patterns on the stone pillars were blurred, but Shen Tang could vaguely see the God Race with blades in hand and wings on their back... Could this be Lu Xiao’s ancestor?

Shen Tang suppressed the storm of emotions within her heart, then saw the Sky King walk to the center of the altar, slicing open his palm with a blade, letting the blood fall onto the altar. An invisible array quickly spread under the three of them, followed by a rumbling sound—a magnificent giant stone door emerged on the opposite rock wall.

In the center of the stone door was the Golden Feather Totem, which did not seem to be artificially carved but rather imprinted by some kind of energy, unchanged even after thousands of years. Seemingly radiating holy light, just one glance left people dazzled, as if their souls were being cleansed.

Tian Hui said, "The power left by the ancestors is inside the door. But no one has ever entered—not because they didn’t want to, but because no one could open the stone door. I was arrogant in my youth and tried everything, but unfortunately, I could not open it. If you want to try, you can."

Tian Hui did not hold much hope for Shen Tang—if even the clan members could not enter, how could an outsider possibly enter?

But now, besides trying, there was no other way.

Lu Xiao held Shen Tang’s hand and asked worriedly, "Is your body okay?"

"After sleeping the whole way, I’ve recovered pretty well, no problem!"

Shen Tang let go of his hand and walked to the stone door.

She raised her hand to place it on the stone door, closed her eyes, and a surge of spiritual power emerged instantly. The Golden Feather Totem erupted with dazzling light, a vortex appeared, pulling Shen Tang inside.

"Tangtang!" Lu Xiao’s face changed dramatically.

"Don’t worry, Xiao Tang will be fine." Tian Hui quickly held him back, saying with surprise, "Didn’t expect Xiao Tang to actually do it. Let’s wait here, don’t go in and disturb her; she should be out soon."

"Okay."

Lu Xiao felt worried but could only wait.
