Chapter 243 Unsealing the Ancestral Seal
Bai Ran said proudly, "The demon race relies on its combat power and bloodline to gain a foothold. After the ancestors ascended to heaven, they must have unified the demon world."
Qiuqiu looked at Bai Ran, the silly boy from the landlord's family, in disbelief.
Bai Ran was unconvinced and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? If you don't accept it, then beat me until you do."
Qiuqiu couldn't help but complain: "You are not ugly, you have beautiful thoughts."
In return, everyone laughed.
Everyone here was very happy except Lan Li. The demon blood was very important for purifying blood. Qiuqiu was looking forward to the immortal spiritual seeds. Her space upgrade had left a large area of land empty. Besides, what alchemist didn't like spiritual medicine?
Lan Li: I just want the spirit beast eggs. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and I wonder what will be left.
The rest of the journey went extremely smoothly, and occasionally one could see ordinary beasts or newly advanced demon beasts. The closer they got to the target, the weaker the demonic energy became.
Lan Li: "According to the map, we will arrive tomorrow."
Zhu Yan: "I have a feeling this won't go smoothly."
Xuan Zhuo: "Isn't the perception of danger a magical power inherited from your Taoist partner's bloodline? You'll be able to sense it someday."
Zhu Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him and looked at Qing Heng: "Do you have a strong sense of danger?"
Zhu Yan: "It's not very clear."
Bai Bo: "Would you like me to have a fortune-teller?"
Xuan Zhuo: "I am the real Xuanwu! If you keep talking nonsense, I will peel off your tiger skin!"
Bai Bo: "Come on, I'm not afraid of you."
Qing Heng: "Old Bai, save your strength for tomorrow. Do you also sense something is wrong?"
Bai Bo: "I feel a little inexplicably anxious. In a place surrounded by demonic energy, it's normal to have some emotional fluctuations. I didn't take it seriously."
Qing Heng: "No need for divination. Now is the time to open the ancestral seal, no matter how hard it may be."
At daybreak, they affixed their breath-suppressing talismans and slowly climbed the bald mountain before them. The ancestral seal indicated on the map was located in the belly of the mountain.
Unexpectedly, there was not a single ordinary animal along the way, and even the grass that could be seen everywhere was only a few sparse strands.
Lan Li: "This is the place shown on the map. We need to dig into the mountain."
Seeing that everyone was about to start, Qiuqiu took out the excavator he had used when he first entered this world and obtained the inherited skills: "I have this, it can easily locate and clear the way."
Bai Bo: "Why do humans have so many good things?"
Lan Li: "No, this is probably something that Fellow Daoist Xu had someone refine specifically for it. It looks like an ordinary weapon."
Qiuqiu: "Don't worry about the level, as long as it's useful. We can't use magic to break the seal here, so this is a good choice."
Qing Heng: "Use this, and you lead the way."
Qiuqiu: “Okay.” This can be located. The new artificial intelligence copied by Huahua, although it does not have independent intelligence, is well-behaved and obedient.
She still asked, "Which direction should we dig?"
Lan Li: "I can't sense it? What about you?"
The remaining divine beast bloodlines were all detected through bloodline sensing but no exact location was found.
Xuan Zhuo: "Stimulate the bloodline and activate the key. If that doesn't work, then activate the key after recognizing its owner. It should be able to point to the location."
Qing Heng: "Set up a protective formation. We will drip blood to identify the master key and guide the seal location."
Four black beads floated in the air. Qing Heng, Bai Bo, Zhu Yan and Xuan Zhu each offered a drop of divine blood. After the four black beads automatically absorbed a drop of blood, the shadows of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise appeared inside.
The four of them shouted in unison: "Go."
The beads all floated in one direction, and Qiuqiu immediately directed the excavator to dig the cave. After digging for half a day under the guidance of the beads, they finally saw a black semicircular gate.
There are four holes on the top, bottom, left and right of the door, which are obviously for installing four keys. However, there is a small hole in the center. I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but I feel that the small hole shouldn’t exist.
The four of them poured their spiritual power into the key inserted into the hole. After a while, four kinds of light, green, gold, red and blue, lit up, and the black door opened with a "click" sound.
After the sound stopped, the black door slowly opened, revealing a square box the size of a palm.
The box looks like a simple little house, but it has four doors in the front, back, left and right, and each door has a seal pattern on it.
The seal pattern on the right looked very familiar to Qiuqiu. Thinking carefully, when Bai Er was almost possessed by the residual soul in the purple jade pendant, the royal seal on his forehead was triggered and appeared like this.
Qing Heng: "This is sealed with the ancestral seal, let's take it away directly."
After reaching out to grab it several times but failing, Xuan Zhuo stepped forward to observe and said, "This should have been refined into one with the gate outside. It has been able to last for tens of thousands of years, and it should have been completely integrated with the local earth veins."
Bai Bo: "The only solution we have now is to unlock the ancestral seal."
Xuan Zhuo: "Only pure-blooded divine beasts can possess the royal seal, and only those with the royal seal's bloodline can activate it and collect the things sealed by the ancestral seal."
Zhu Yan: "I didn't expect that our ancestor would leave his royal seal behind as a seal."
Qing Heng: "Our ancestors left us a backup plan. Once the seal is completed, they will perish together with the demons. There is no point in keeping the king's seal. Leaving the seal behind is the most important thing for them, which gives them peace of mind."
Bai Bo: "Why weren't these things sent away with the cubs? They've been here for tens of thousands of years. If it weren't for the family's records, I would have thought it was fake."
Xuan Zhuo: "I've never seen anyone as stupid as you. Every tribe left a spark of fire here. Our four tribes secretly left some bloodline and even publicized it everywhere. We must act like we are sacrificing for the greater good. The things left here must be as much as those left by other demon tribes. Then we sacrificed the king's seal to complete the final seal. This is a righteous act, don't you understand?"
Qiuqiu, Lan Li: You demons are quite cunning. I didn’t expect you to have such little tricks.
Qing Heng didn't want to listen to their nagging: "How do we unlock this ancestral seal? Without the royal bloodline to activate it, we can only use blood essence. As long as the divinity of the blood essence exceeds that of the sealer, it can be opened."
Zhu Yan: "Our bloodline has degenerated severely, so it will probably be difficult to achieve."
Qing Heng: "At least two of you have come. I am alone. I can't back down, so I have no choice but to give it a try."
Qiuqiu quickly sent a message to Qingheng: "Qingwu and the others have the blood of royal beasts. I have their ordinary blood. Is that okay?"
Qing Heng: "Does everyone else have them?"
Qiuqiu: “All of them.” She kept some active blood just in case. She had an interstellar heritage, and the cloning technology in it was relatively mature. If something happened to her children, as long as she kept their souls, it wouldn’t be difficult to create another body.
Qing Heng quickly sent a message to everyone, asking them to stay calm.
Qiuqiu took out four sealed jade bottles, which contained the blood of Bai Yi, Xuan Chen, Qing Wu and Zhu Qi, absolutely pure-blooded divine beasts.
