The Eighty-Fifth Bloodline Inheritance

  When Tang Yan heard that it was related to his ancestors, he began to suspect whether his ancestors were earthlings or people from this world. However, Tang Yan soon found out that his own ancestors were actually immigrants from another realm on Earth. The old man answered him affirmatively, saying that at the time, the guy from Xianyuan's place gave a Blowing Snow Divine Soldier, a "Dragon-Eating Manual", and a "Three Thousand Curtain Snow" before he died. As for the dragon ring, it wasn't given by him.

  When Tang Yan asked him about his ancestors, the old man looked very unhappy and shook his head, saying: "It's all because I was too greedy. If I wasn't so greedy, I wouldn't have ended up like this. However, your ancestor treated me well, after my death, they respected me as a knowledgeable friend and killed the nine divine dragons of the forbidden land, using their corpses to support my primordial spirit and guard me."

  "Didn't you kill those nine dragon corpses?" Tang Yan asked, recalling the unexpected fall into a mysterious space two years ago.

  "That's all I can do!" The old man replied helplessly.

  "So you're saying that you haven't actually practiced the 'Dragon-Eating Technique', right?" Tang Yan asked.

  "Yes, I haven't practiced!" The old man replied.

  "Damn it, you're deceiving me again! Didn't you say you've practiced? Didn't you say you've devoured the Beast God's Horse? So you were using me as a test subject!" Tang Yan scolded upon hearing his words.

  "Did I mention that? I don't think I did, but to be honest, this thing is really powerful! Not only can it devour foreign flames, but it can also devour beast souls!" The old man said with his hands spread apart.

  "You!" Tang Yan was almost suffocated by him.

  "Don't worry, I won't harm you. I promised your ancestors that I have indeed practiced the Dragon-Devouring Technique. As an alchemist, I absorb heterodox fire, not beast souls. What I said earlier about devouring was just to give you courage. To be honest, I did think of devouring a dragon's soul. But it's too powerful and I don't have that skill. However, you're different - you have the bloodline of that guy in your body. Think about it, your ancestors could even defeat a divine dragon, so believe me, you can definitely absorb the ancestral spirit of the Dragon Ancestor without any problem!" The old man replied to Tang Yan.

  "Damn it, is it still Dragon Ancestor's true spirit? I'll wipe your sister!" Tang Yan cursed.

  The divine dragon's ancestral spirit in the old man's mouth, of course, refers to those divine dragons' ancestral spirits. The smaller divine dragons have long been captured by powerful beings from other realms as pets or mounts. Only the powerful dragon ancestors' spirits remain in the world, incredibly mighty, but most of them exist on this ordinary cultivator's Martial Continent. Only the legendary Nine-Colored Sacred Dragon exists in the realm of fate, which was also what that guy said to the old man before he died, whether it's true or not is another matter.

  "My ancestors? Can you tell me about your life in that era?" Tang Yan thought for a moment, and indeed, his ancestors had not harmed him, but rather helped him grow stronger. When it came to bloodlines and his own ancestors, Tang Yan was curious to know what exactly happened.

  "Alas, speaking of those past events, it's really as long as a piece of cloth!" The old man sighed and said.

  Before mentioning Tang Yan's ancestors, the old man told Tang Yan that the Blowing Snow Divine Soldier in his hand was a weapon from the guardian of the ancient tomb in the forbidden land. This is what a strong person from the Xianyuan Continent said to the old man, who is not very familiar with the "Dragon Slashing Manual".

  At that time, he spent more than a decade of hard work to enter the forbidden land, refining more than a dozen Yuan Shou Sheng Dan, each of which could extend his life by more than 50 years. Now that it's been mentioned, Tang Yan finally understood why he knew about the events inside the forbidden land - obviously, he had used these sacred elixirs to exchange for his life force and enter the place, or else he would have been swallowed into nothingness.

  "At that time, I didn't think there were living humans in the forbidden land, and you are the ancestor. Originally, I thought I could open the giant gate inside the forbidden land with my own strength. Unexpectedly, due to a twist of fate, a power beyond human capabilities was transmitted from within the stone gate, destroying my physical body. If it weren't for the protection of the heterodox fire, my primordial spirit would have dispersed long ago!"

  At this point, the old man's tone became a bit sorrowful, and then he said: "It was at that time that your grandfather appeared. He thought highly of me and called me a prodigy. With pity, he stored my primordial spirit in his dragon ring."

  Upon hearing this, Tang Yan didn't interrupt or ask questions, but instead continued to listen to the old man. Originally, he thought his ancestors had destroyed the old man, but it turned out that wasn't the case. Because the old man said that his ancestors and he shared similar experiences, his ancestors were also tomb guardians who were imprisoned inside using force, relying on the spiritual energy within the forbidden area to sustain themselves, which could be said to have a lifespan equal to that of heaven and earth. As for their strength, it was restricted to a certain level, unable to break through no matter how long they lived, stuck at the peak of the Dou Emperor realm.

  Upon hearing this, Tang Yan could confirm that the person who set up the forbidden land was definitely not allowing his ancestors to break through and leave. He said: "I thought my ancestors were the masters of the forbidden land!"

  "Haha, if only it were that simple, unfortunately it's not. Otherwise your ancestors wouldn't have died so quickly!" The old man replied to Tang Yan's words.

  "How did you leave the forbidden land?" Tang Yan asked.

  "Hehe, your ancestors said I was a genius, so of course I have a way to leave this place, but the price paid is really too great!" The old man didn't know whether he was boasting or belittling himself.

  Behind that, it's all about his ancestors and Tang Yan studying the forbidden land. As for when the forbidden land was formed, no one knows, only that it might have been established by a powerful being from the immortal world. His ancestors and the Snow Emperor were the two top strongmen on the Douwu Continent, but in the end, they were captured by an even stronger being to guard the graveyard. How pitiful. Even more pitiful is that the old man spent over a decade studying in the forbidden land and the Dragon Ring, barely understanding a bit of the mysterious veil within.

  Finally, the two powers merged, and with the help of the heavenly materials and divine medicine in the forbidden land, the old man's remaining Yuan Shen used a hint of the strange fire to refine the second Emperor Dan. Tang Yan Zu was made to eat it first. Finally, they broke through the restrictive forces in the forbidden land, successfully creating a space that belonged to them, a space isolated from the forbidden land. Then, using the knowledge of transmission arrays left behind in the forbidden land, they randomly traversed and finally appeared on Earth, but their space was sealed within Mount Shu.

  "Even with all the calculations, there was still a slight mistake. I thought your ancestors could live like ordinary people, but after leaving the forbidden land, life continued to age, and it wasn't until I used my last Sacred Yuan Pill that you managed to survive for two years. In those two years on what's called Earth, you spent it passing on the family lineage, haha, you understand!" The old man chuckled as he spoke to Tang Yan.

  "Are you kidding me? You didn't mention the purple bronze coffin and the nine dragon corpses!" Tang Yan asked, half believing and half doubting.

  "The nine-clawed dragon god, hehe, is just a guardian beast in the forbidden land. The purple bronze coffin is an original item from the forbidden land, made from local materials. However, before your ancestor died, he told me that the Dragon Ring was not his originally, but rather belonged to the forbidden land. As for how he obtained it, he didn't tell me, but I'm sure he must have gotten it from the tomb. With your ancestor's power, it would be impossible to create a divine object like the Dragon Ring, including the Snowflake Divine Sword. It must belong to the ancient tomb in the forbidden land." The old man said excitedly.

  At this point, the old man's emotions calmed down again and he said: "Because your ancestor's bloodline is closely related to the forbidden land, his descendants are not bound by the forbidden land and can enter and exit at will. As for the bloodline of your ancestors' predecessors, they cannot enter, only the bloodline after your ancestors can enter the forbidden land!"

  Tang Yan also understood this, that the original master of the forbidden land had done something to him, and his next generation would have such characteristics. As for the records in the ancient books of the other world about humans coming out of the forbidden land, with powers stronger than those above the Emperor level, it should be the guy from the forbidden land who was one of the last two Emperors of the Douwu Continent.

  Upon hearing the old man's words, Tang Yan asked again: "Is there an undying divine medicine in that forbidden land?"

  "This I didn't see, your ancestors also didn't tell me, but I'm sure I should have. After tens of thousands of years, those herbs even if they can't grow into divine objects will become medicinal kings. Just pick a few at random and add my knowledge passed down to you, it's impossible not to become an emperor." The old man replied to Tang Yan.

  Originally, Tang Yan thought that the Nine Dragons pulling a Dragon Seal was an extremely powerful divine object. He didn't expect there to be such a story behind it - the Nine Dragons guarding an ancient tomb, with two great emperors standing watch, including Tang's ancestors. This made Tang Yan certain that what was inside would definitely be extraordinary and shocking treasures, not to mention the Snowflake and Dragon Seal and the two Heaven-class secret manuals. Inside, there must be something even more powerful than what Tang Yan had in his hands.

  "You're telling me all this, is there anything else you haven't told me?" Tang Yan asked as if he had thought of something.

  "In the forbidden land, I was greedy and entered, my physical body was destroyed, but I don't blame others. However, I'm grateful to your ancestors for storing my primordial soul in the spirit ring, which allowed me to survive until now. Now that I've returned here, with my alchemy skills, rebuilding a physical body is not a problem. The issue is, your ancestor had an order: if his descendants can return here, let me help you excavate everything from the forbidden land, dig out all its secrets, and then find the person who sealed him inside, no matter if it's their descendant or their power, annihilate them!"

  "Revenge? Screw that! I'm a superstar of the new era, now I have money and women, living life to the fullest, I don't want to fight and kill!" Tang Yan threw Chui Xue to the ground and scolded.

  "This is up to you, anyway it's your family matter, has nothing to do with me. However, your ancestors said that the things in the ancient tomb can definitely make you stand at the top of the world. Of course, you can say I'm greedy for those things, indeed, I am a bit poor. But after so many years have passed, my heart is already numb. What's the use of getting them? Surviving is more wonderful!" The old man lazily replied to Tang Yan.

  Indeed, as the old man said, whether or not to avenge is none of his business. This is Tang Yan's family matter, and Tang Yan has thought it through. Even if he can't find a young Emperor's physical body, he'll find him a Saint's. With his power, killing a Saint is just a small matter, and when the opportunity arises, he'll help him recover his physical body.

  After listening to the old man's words, Tang Yan didn't have the mood to practice anymore. After exiting the snowy realm, Tang Yan asked Dongfang Wan'er, who was standing beside him, if she knew about the Tian Dan Pavilion incident. Unexpectedly, all the beauties in the horse carriage nodded, including his junior sister Zilan, who also knew about the Tian Dan Pavilion incident.

  "Little kid, do you think I'm lying to you? Faint. I'm telling you the truth, how can you not believe me, it really hurts my heart! Am I still going to harm you? If I wanted to harm you, I would have taken advantage of you long ago, if it weren't for keeping my promise to your ancestors and repaying them, I wouldn't even bother with a piece of trash like you!" The old man said to Tang Yan in a tone filled with sadness and loss.
