Eternal Heart

Chapter 1401: Ancestral Land Treasury

The return of the Bloodline Ancestor is a joyous event for the Blood Race.

With another Heavenly Union Realm combatant, the overall strength of the Blood Race becomes even stronger.

"Ancestor, since your departure, the conflict between our clan and the Shark Tooth Clan has become increasingly intense, and now it has reached the brink of war."

A high-ranking member of the Blood Race, who had some ties with the Bloodline Ancestor, sighed.

"So that’s how it is."

The Bloodline Ancestor nodded, understanding the reason for his attack by the Sea Clan, and feeling angry inside. The Blood Race had fallen so low that even a small Shark Tooth Clan dared to bully them.

He couldn’t help but glance at Chen Yu.

With Chen Yu’s potential, there is definitely hope for him to reach the Upper Gods.

But now, in the main world, many God Realm beings eyeing the Divine Demon Parts have set their sights on Chen Yu.

As long as Chen Yu can successfully get through this crisis and grow into an Upper God, by then, who would dare bully the Blood Race.

"Great Prophet!"

At the hall entrance, several high-ranking blood people clan members of the Blood Race divination line slowly approached.

Leading them was an elder in a simple ancient robe, holding a serpent staff, with a vertical eye on his brow. This was none other than the Great Prophet of the Blood Race.

"Even the Great Prophet is here."

A high-ranking member exclaimed in surprise.

The Great Prophet held an extremely high status within the clan, second only to the Clan Leader.

Under normal circumstances, the Great Prophet would not participate in such meetings.

It seems the face of the Bloodline Ancestor is indeed considerable.

"Welcome back, Ancestor."

The Great Prophet slightly bowed to the Bloodline Ancestor, then his gaze scanned the surroundings, finally settling on Chen Yu with deep meaning and respect, bowing again.

The Great Prophet bowing to a human surprised the Blood Race members, and they acutely sensed that the Great Prophet’s attitude toward this human was even more respectful than to the Bloodline Ancestor.

"Could it be that this person has a significant background?"

Everyone did not question the Great Prophet’s actions, as they believed every action of the Great Prophet had its reasons.

Suddenly.

Swish!

In the majestic blood-red hall, a figure from the Blood-sucking Clan appeared, exuding a faint aura of death, like a living corpse.

The appearance of this person plunged the hall into a quiet darkness, solidifying the bloodlines of the many Blood Race members, feeling the oppression.

"Ancestor!"

Many high-ranking members were slightly shocked.

Another Ancestor appeared!

The Blood Race has been in decline for a while, without any Heavenly Union Realm births.

Generally, the lifespan at the First Layer Heaven of the Heavenly Union Realm is a hundred thousand years. Yet, the lifespan of several God Realm Ancestors of the Blood Race mostly approaches or even exceeds a hundred thousand years.

Due to the uniqueness of the Blood Race, they can extend their life by special means but have mostly been in deep slumber underground, rarely emerging.

But now, all the Ancestors have emerged.

"Greetings, Ancestor."

The high-ranking members paid their respects again.

Some high-ranking members could not even remember which Ancestor this was, but still, they paid their respectful greetings.

Yet before finishing their bows.

Swish!

Another Bloodline Ancestor appeared.

"This... seems a bit off!"

A high-ranking member hesitated, uncertain inside, but still had to pay respects to this newly emerged Ancestor.

Two Heavenly Union Realm Ancestors appeared; does this returning Bloodline Ancestor have such influence?

Soon after, the Blood Race discovered an even more astonishing situation.

The newly appeared Blood Race God Realm members merely greeted the returning Ancestor and then moved towards the human in black clothing.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The high-ranking members hadn’t reacted yet when three more slumbering Ancestors of the Blood Race emerged, including the strongest thirteenth-generation Ancestor in the clan!

"This..." everyone was shocked, continually inhaling sharply.

Some high-ranking members had lived so long yet had never seen so many Ancestors from different generations simultaneously.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

The high-ranking members hurriedly paid their respects again.

At the same time, they felt quite exasperated, wondering why the Ancestors didn’t coordinate to come together, making them greet one after another until they felt numb, and the scene grew somewhat peculiar.

At this moment, the scene suddenly quieted down.

All the Bloodline Ancestors appeared, and none of them spoke. How could other high-ranking members dare to utter a word?

The Clan Leader, with a smile, approached Chen Yu and said, "The reason for gathering everyone this time is to welcome... the return of the Blood Lord!"

"Blood Lord?"

"The Blood Lord has returned?"

All present Blood Race members immediately fixed their gazes on Chen Yu.

The previously unaware high-ranking members suddenly realized that it could only be the "Blood Lord" that warranted the Great Prophet’s personal arrival and all the God Realm members of the Blood Race coming out to welcome.

Moreover, the Blood Lord’s identity as a human was also known to them.

"Welcome, Blood Lord!"

At this moment, the top powerhouses of the Blood Race all gathered here, bowing before Chen Yu.

Chen Yu stood tall, exuding authority as he looked at the bowing Blood Race members.

Recalling when he first became the Blood Lord, none of the Heavenly Union Realm Ancestors of the Blood Race fully acknowledged him, with only one God Realm member having a brief exchange with him.

But now, he was the undisputed Blood Lord, with no opposition.

The Blood Race members all rose, unable to conceal their excitement.

Though the Blood Race was reclusive, their intelligence network was quite extensive. The incident with Chen Yu had caused such a stir that the Blood Race had long been aware of it.

Therefore, most of the Blood Race’s higher-ups knew that Chen Yu had broken through to the Heavenly Union Realm and even obtained other Divine Demon Parts.

The scene calmed down, and everyone sat back down.

"Everyone is aware of the current situation of the Blood Lord, so his identity must be kept secret."

The Clan Leader presided over the meeting.

The high-level members nodded seriously.

Indeed, Chen Yu masked his identity, but it wasn’t possible to keep it from everyone. Those present were the core upper echelons of the Blood Race, few in number, and it was sufficient for only these people to know his identity.

The return of the Blood Lord was not only an enhancement of the Blood Race’s overall strength, but the Blood Lord also served as a spiritual symbol for the Blood Race.

Especially the astonishing rate at which Chen Yu improved and the potential he demonstrated gave hope to everyone within the Blood Race.

"The current situation of the Blood Lord is rather special, and he urgently needs to strengthen his power. I suggest opening the ’Ancestral Treasury’ to aid the Blood Lord. What are your opinions?"

The Clan Leader asked.

Upon returning to the Blood Race, Chen Yu indeed intended to use the resources here to accelerate his strength and cultivation.

Though the Blood Race was declining, its heritage was not to be underestimated and was deeper than some forces with Upper Gods overseeing them.

When he proposed this point, the Clan Leader revealed the secret of the Ancestral Treasury.

"Open the Ancestral Treasury?" One of the higher-ups was slightly surprised.

"Everything for the Blood Lord!"

"The Blood Lord is the future of our race; everything should prioritize the Blood Lord!"

After a simple discussion, the high-level members expressed their agreement, all in favor.

"Blood Lord, this Ancestral Treasury is where the real heritage of the Blood Race lies. It contains numerous treasures and also serves as a special place to aid in cultivation..."

The Bloodline Ancestor communicated this to Chen Yu: "Moreover, every time the Ancestral Treasury is opened, it requires a considerable expenditure..."

According to the Bloodline Ancestor, the treasures in the Ancestral Treasury are enough to create several Heavenly Union Realm beings for the Blood Race in a short time, but this doesn’t have much impact on the bigger picture. It’s not to say that everyone is worth the Blood Race revealing its last heritage.

The subsequent meeting began to discuss the situation concerning the Shark Tooth Clan.

The conflict between the Shark Tooth Clan and the Blood Race was intense, almost reaching the brink of war.

The Blood Race had a profound heritage and could gain fresh blood through war, sustaining war with war, so they weren’t afraid of the Shark Tooth Clan.

However, the Shark Tooth Clan had also allied with other Sea Clan forces and had great advantages in the ocean.

Therefore, in the current situation, the Blood Race was not confident of victory should war break out.

Regarding the war, Chen Yu did not participate in the discussion.

After the meeting, the Clan Leader and several Ancestors accompanied Chen Yu to the "Ancestral Treasury."

Chen Yu’s former residence was outside the Ancestral Land, but he had never visited the Ancestral Land before and didn’t know there was a treasury hidden here.

Inside the Ancestral Land, everyone arrived at a cave entrance with a tightly shut stone door.

The stone door had ancient Blood-sucking Clan patterns engraved on it.

A total of six Ancestors from the Blood Race simultaneously performed a Secret Technique, slowly opening the sealed stone door. Inside, it was pitch-black and deep, and an ancient sealed aura hit them.

"Blood Lord, quickly enter inside."

The Clan Leader reminded.

Whish!

Chen Yu quickly moved and slipped into the stone door.

He was engulfed in endless darkness, walking for a long time before he saw a blood-red light.

Before long, Chen Yu arrived at a vast expanse, the ground was a red-purple, with vegetation flourishing, and a blood moon hung in the black sky.

This was the Bloodline Ancestral Treasury.

Before arriving, Chen Yu had heard some related information from the Bloodline Ancestor.

This was an independent little world, also possessing effects similar to [Heavenly Mysterious Feather] and [Wood Nether Pearl].

As for the treasures, they were scattered all over.

Chen Yu’s Divine Sense spread out and soon enveloped this little world, grasping all the situations here.

For example, a hundred miles ahead of him, three "Demon Blood Ancient Trees" were growing, which were famous blood path divine materials. The fruits of these trees contained immense blood path essence, not only promoting the life level of God Realm beings but also having a certain chance to revert the bloodline to ancestral state, enhancing bloodline concentration.

One thousand two hundred miles to the left underground, there was a vein of Heavenly Fallen ore, nurturing a piece of divine "Heavenly Fallen Divine Ore."

And two thousand miles away in the midair, there floated a glow with a Spirit Pill of the Heavenly Union Realm level inside.

"So this is the place."

The Ancestral Bloodline spoke at this time: "This is a small secret realm I once discovered, later given to a sub-hall as a treasure storage, not thinking it persists till today."

"But the treasures here now are rather shabby."

The Ancestral Bloodline sighed repeatedly.

Chen Yu was not affected by the Ancestral Bloodline. The current treasury naturally couldn’t compare to the most prosperous times of the Blood Race in Ancient Times.

To Chen Yu, the numerous treasures and cultivation resources here were extremely precious.

The treasures in the storage space of the Black Vine Ancestor he had slain were not worth even one-fifth of this place.

Swish!

Chen Yu transformed into a silver-white stream, darting in the sky, searching for the heavenly materials and treasures he needed.

At this stage, he planned to first break through to the Second Layer Heaven!

Chen Yu flew ten thousand miles, and in midair floated nine droplets of faintly glowing purple liquid beads, emitting a soft dark purple light.

"Night Spirit Divine Dew, containing the essence of heaven and earth, can nourish the divine source and enhance the cultivation speed of the Heavenly Union Realm!"

Chen Yu’s face showed delight.

Currently, Night Spirit Divine Dew was indeed an extremely rare cultivation treasure.

Swish...

The nine droplets of Night Spirit Divine Dew sensed Chen Yu’s approach and released a powerful repelling force, enough to send a typical Demigod flying.

Chen Yu, however, was unaffected, swiftly approaching, and with a wave of his hand, he collected the nine droplets of Night Spirit Divine Dew.

Night Spirit Divine Dew was the first item, and Chen Yu continued to move, searching for other necessary cultivation treasures.
