"Kneel down." As soon as Yun Jings words fell, Yun Fengs knees were already on the ground, with piety and inexplicable reverence, facing the man in the painting, facing the many masters of the Yun family.

  "Does Maple know whose memorial tablets these are?"

  "Maple knew that Yuns family had been the head of the household for generations."

  Yun Jing nodded, her eyes fixed on the painting, her dark pupils flashing, "Does Feng Er know who the person in the painting is?"

  Yun Feng nodded, Yun Jing didnt say another word, standing silently beside Yun Feng for a long time, then let out a soft sigh mixed with helplessness and exhaustion. "Since our ancestors, the Cloud family has never had an Summoner appear again, is this the Cloud familys problem or is heaven playing tricks on us?"

  Yun Feng knelt there, pursing her lips, and felt a fire burning fiercely in her heart. She was determined to become a Summoner!

  Yun Jing slowly walked to the position where the plaque was placed, and somehow pressed something, Yun Feng only heard the sound of the hidden compartment opening. After a slight pause, when his father turned around again, there was an additional stone in his hand that emitted a faint glow.

  Yun Feng looked at the stone, and vaguely felt that the spiritual energy inside her body seemed to be moving towards the stone, as if the stone had an inexplicable pulling force, drawing out her spiritual energy!

  Yun Feng was startled, and immediately suppressed the surging spiritual energy inside his body. He stared at that somewhat eerie stone, and Yun Fengs forehead slightly sweated. What exactly was that stone?

  Yun Jings serious expression as he grasped the stone, and the fact that it was retrieved from a hidden compartment in the ancestral hall, made Yun Feng secretly wonder what could be so precious to the Yun family. Yun Jing opened his mouth again, his eyes fixed on the stone in his palm, filled with infinite promise.

  "This is a Jinghun Stone, an heirloom left by our ancestors. Does Feng Er still remember the first time you came to the ancestral hall?"

  Yun Fengs eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the hazy memories of her childhood floated in her mind. When she was only one year old, Yun Feng was taken to the ancestral hall, and then...she touched something. Her father, who had been expecting something, looked disappointed after she touched that thing. Yun Feng thought carefully, what was it that she touched? That thing...that...thing was this stone!

  "After the birth of each generation of Yuns family, they would use the Essence Stone to detect their talent. If they could become a Summoner, the stone would resonate in harmony. But... for hundreds of years, this stone has not changed even once, not even once..."

  The words of Yun Jing are filled with gloom and despair, the Yun familys hundreds of years of expectation have never been cut off, but disappointment has grown greater. When hope is dashed time and again, there is no longer any expectation, even if there is, it is far from being one ten-thousandth of what it was originally.

  As time went on, Yuns family became less hopeful, but that tiny spark of hope in their hearts still existed and had never been completely extinguished.

  "Dad, can I touch that stone?" Yun Feng asked cautiously. Yun Jing looked at Yun Feng in surprise and finally shook his head helplessly, handing the stone to Yun Feng.

  The moment Yun Fengs fingers touched the stone, he felt that the stone was an endless black hole, wildly absorbing his spiritual energy without any restraint. Yun Fengs face changed at once, but instead of letting go of the stone, he pulled back his spiritual energy with great difficulty.

  Yun Fengs face gradually turned pale, and he felt a layer of cold sweat breaking out all over his body. The stones suction force was still ongoing, and Yun Fengs resistance continued. One pull, one tug, both sides were competing with each other. Yun Jing was watching the ancestral tablet of the Yun familys generations of masters, but didnt notice Yun Fengs expression at this moment. Just when Yun Feng felt that he couldnt resist anymore, and his spiritual energy inside his body was about to be completely drained away, the stones strange suction force suddenly disappeared without warning.

  Whats going on? Yun Feng looked at the stone in her hand in surprise, and suddenly felt a flash of white light, as if something had entered her body. It was so fast that she couldnt dodge it even if she blinked!

  Something... has entered! Yun Fengs heart was secretly shocked, not knowing whether it was good or bad. However, since this stone was left behind by his ancestors, how could it harm the Yun family? Thinking of this, Yun Fengs chaotic heart gradually calmed down. He carefully observed his own body and found no changes, nor any discomfort. It seemed that the white light might not be a big deal after all.

  Yun Feng opened her palm, and the stone lay quietly in the center of her hand. The faint glow emanating from it had dimmed, and Yun Feng naturally sensed it, knowing that something within the stone had indeed entered her body.

  "Alright, Fenger, lets go." Yun Jings voice came, and Yun Feng stood up, handing the stone in his hand to his father. He found that his father didnt notice anything unusual, but instead carefully put the stone back in its original place. As they walked out of the ancestral hall, Yun Feng turned his head and took a glance. The short-haired man on the painting smiled calmly, with an air of pride. Yun Feng also curled up the corners of his mouth and gave a calm smile to the ancestors that the Yun family was proud of.

  Back in his own room, Yun Feng sat on the bed, still feeling a bit uneasy in his heart. What exactly was that thing that had entered his body? Would it have any effect on him? And what about the strange suction power of that stone? If the thing inside his body damaged his spiritual energy, it would drive Yun Feng crazy!

  Closing her eyes, Yun Feng calmed down and focused on the subtle fluctuations of her internal spiritual energy. As soon as her consciousness merged into the spiritual realm, a voice suddenly echoed in her mind, carrying a hint of joy, two parts of indifference, and three parts of fatigue.

  "Little guy, are you the second summoner of the Yun family? Ive been waiting for a long time."

  Yun Fengs body shook, her mind went blank, and someone was speaking! Inside her body! Yun Feng subconsciously felt a little flustered, and the voice sounded again. More incredibly, a human figure slowly appeared in Yun Fengs spiritual space. When that figure gradually became fully visible, Yun Feng only felt as if she had been struck by a thunderbolt!

  "Little guy, you dont know who I am?" The figure slowly curled up the corners of his mouth, a smile hanging on his lips. Yun Feng only felt stunned and unbelievable! Ink black short hair, handsome facial features, this smile that exuded arrogant dominance, wasnt this the man in the painting, the ancestor of the Cloud familys summoner?!

  Yun Fengs consciousness was shocked, his eyes wide with amazement, and his figure seemed to be very satisfied with the effect of Yun Fengs current state, unable to help but laugh out loud, with a hint of teasing and triumph, "Little guy, have you been scared silly?"

  "Ancestor!" Yun Feng called out in his heart, and the figure seemed to have heard Yun Fengs call, but this title made him frown, very dissatisfied.

  "Ancestor? Id rather you call me Lan Grandfather than use that title."

  Yun Fengs mouth twitched involuntarily at the words, and if someone had walked in at that moment, they would have seen a strange scene: Yun Feng with his eyes closed, yet with a hint of helplessness on his face.

  Looking at this handsome ancestor, who was about the same age as her older brother Yunsheng, Yunfeng had a speechless feeling. Grandfather? This title would be even more awkward.

  "Ancestor, whats going on?" Yun Feng asked the biggest doubt in his heart. Was there an ancestors soul in that stone? Was that terrifying suction also done by the ancestor?

  "Lets put this aside for now, little guy, I dont even know your name?"

  Yun Feng was taken aback, she still hadnt introduced herself yet, "Yun Feng."

  "Little guy, Im really curious. Why did I not sense any spiritual energy within you the first time we met, but this time I found that your body contains a vast amount of spiritual energy like an ocean?"

  Yun Feng smiled awkwardly, after all, he couldnt directly tell him that this body had replaced a soul... Seeing Yun Feng not responding, the ancestor didnt ask again. "What you see is my soul, of course its not the whole thing, just a very small part. Before I died, I cut off a piece of my soul and attached it to the stone, wanting to guide the next summoner in the Yun family on the right path. After all, the number of summoners appearing is too rare, and people cant understand them at all."

  Cutting souls? Yun Feng thought to himself, just how powerful is a summoner, can they even cut through souls?!

  It seems that the ancestor had seen through Yun Fengs thoughts, and with a faint smile, "Little guy, Summoners are much stronger than you think, thousands or even tens of thousands times stronger. When you reach that height, you will understand."

  Yun Feng nodded, the path of a summoner is almost without experience to draw upon, it has been two hundred years since the last summoner appeared on the Eastern Continent, she thought finding a mentor was a pipe dream, fortunately now she had her ancestors, this undoubtedly would save her from taking many detours!

  "Little guy, once the news of you being a Summoner gets out, I reckon the entire Eastern Continent will be shaken."

  Yun Feng smiled faintly, "To be honest with you, I dont want this news to spread."

  "Oh? Why? Dont you want the Yun family to return to its former peak?"

  "No, I think, as a member of the Yun family, it is only natural to bring glory and honor to our ancestors. This is something I should do and must do!"

  "Why is that..."

  "I dont just want to be a summoner, I also want to be a warrior!"
