Chapter 153: Visit From the Ancestral Clan
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
“Who’s that?” Feng Lin let out a deep bellow, and a gleam shot out from his eyes as he rapidly scanned the surroundings.
This voice was very strange as if it came and went without a trace. Even he was unable to detect its direction.
The strength of the person who let out this voice was definitely not normal. Moreover, judging from the tone, the person wasn’t old. All of these put Feng Lin into a deep thought.
Could it be that there is still a hidden expert amongst the younger generation in the clan?
“Feng Lin, what are you talking about?” Feng Lin’s parents looked over in curiosity.
Could it be that they couldn’t hear it?
Feng Lin was curious. What kind of ability was this?
Before he could think much about it, that soft laughter rang out next to his ears once again. “I’ll be waiting for you at the highest floor. If you wish to know all of the truth about the Feng Clan, then come over!”
Seeing how his parents didn’t notice anything, Feng Lin fell silent for a moment before saying calmly, “Father, mother, bring little brother and sister back first. I have some things to attend to.”
He explained things to them.
“Mmm! Feng Lin, be careful!” Feng Lin’s parents nodded. They looked at Feng Lin’s serious expression but didn’t ask much.
They knew that Feng Lin had already grown up and become an Interstellar cultivator. There were some things that they could no longer interfere with and could only let Feng Lin resolve them himself.
Feng Lin smiled and turned to head for the highest level in the Feng Clan Grand Building. His head was full of guesses.
Interstellar Ancestral Clan?
What does this mean?
Could it be that this Feng Clan is just a side branch?
There is still an Ancestral Clan in the interstellar s.p.a.ce!
…
For some reason, Feng Lin thought of that plaque that everyone wors.h.i.+pped during the ancestral wors.h.i.+pping ritual.
Hua Xia Primogenitor! Taihao f.u.xi!
Hmm… that person asked if I want to become the true descendant of the Huaxia’s Three Sovereigns [1].
Wasn’t f.u.xi the Heavenly Sovereign from the Three Sovereigns?
Could it be that the Feng Clan is f.u.xi’s descendants?
The surname ‘Feng’ was also one that had a lot to it. It was Huaxia’s first ancient surname, and f.u.xi’s surname was also Feng. His name was Feng f.u.xi [2].
…
For there to be so many coincidences, Feng Lin felt that this was definitely not something that happened by chance.
Some things were inevitable amongst those that happened by chance. He sensed that he was gradually getting closer to the truth.
As the majority of the clansmen were partic.i.p.ating in the ancestral wors.h.i.+pping ceremony, the Grand Building was cold and empty with not many people in sight.
Feng Lin headed for the higher floors, not attracting any attention at all.
The moment he arrived at the highest level in the building, a sluggish sounding laughter rang out, “You’re here!” Feng Lin’s pupils contracted and he glanced over. He saw a man with a tall and slender figure and a bewitching appearance standing there. The person seemed to have been waiting for very long.
Feng Lin recognized this guy to be the bewitching-looking man who had seated next to the clan leader—almost on equal grounds—in the ancestral wors.h.i.+pping ceremony earlier. His status was definitely not ordinary.
Feng Lin had found this strange earlier, but to deal with the clan’s ranking compet.i.tion, he didn’t give too much thought into it.
However, right now, Feng Lin was sensing a strong pressure coming from this bewitching-looking young man.
This was an overwhelming difference in their vitality!
This shocked Feng Lin as his current vitality had reached 88.9. If the other party could bring him such pressure, the young man was definitely an elite cultivator!
Since when was there such an expert in the Feng Clan?!
And this person was also very young.
Why had Feng Lin not heard about him before?
An elite cultivator was definitely an expert in the entire solar system.
For this bewitching young man to be able to become an elite cultivator at such a young age, how powerful was his apt.i.tude?
If news were to spread out, this would cause a commotion within the entire Feng Clan and even across the Earth. He would definitely be seen as an unparalleled genius.
“Who are you?” Feng Lin asked in a low voice. The other party’s ident.i.ty was too weird.
“It seems that you still don’t know me. That makes sense. You have only been a low-grade clansman previously and didn’t know much of the truth. Naturally, you won’t be able to know about my existence either.” The bewitching young man smiled as if this was how things should be.
Feng Lin frowned. This person’s arrogant att.i.tude p.i.s.sed him off.
“Remember, I’m called Feng Shaoyou. I came from the Feng Clan’s Interstellar Ancestral Clan that’s at the Huaxia Star Republic in the Eastern Milky Way Galaxy!” The bewitching young man seemed not to realize that there was a strong sense of pride in his tone as he spoke.
“You’re a Huaxia human who came from the interstellar s.p.a.ce! The Interstellar Ancestral Clan?” Feng Lin was slightly stunned. This information was too overwhelming.
“That’s right!” The bewitching man, who was called Feng Shaoyou, smiled with an alluring aura. Although he was a guy, he gave off a feminine aura.
“The Interstellar Ancestral Clan is the Feng Clan’s main body, the Three Sovereigns’ legitimate descendants. There are as many star regions at the size of interstellar s.p.a.ce as the number of Feng Clans. Even this Feng Clan in the solar system is just a side branch of the Feng Clan which was pa.s.sed down by the incompetent members from the Feng Ancestral Clan after they had left the Huaxia Star Republic! Although the Feng Clan’s blood lineage is pa.s.sed down, the bloodline is no longer pure!” Feng Shaoyou smiled and said. “The Feng Clan in the solar system is the weakest one of all, without inheriting the complete Three Sovereigns’ path!”
After saying this, he turned and gave Feng Lin an invitation. “How about it? Feng Lin, do you want to head to the Interstellar Ancestral Clan with me? You didn’t forget your roots after you’ve succeeded and have given up all of your clan points to your family. I think that you’ll do very well! Feng is the first ancient surname in Huaxia, and our Feng clan is an extremely respectable legendary clan in the Star Republic as well. Only a rare few clans can stand on equal grounds with us! Do you want to come?”
This invitation sounded as if there were a lot of benefits.
However, Feng Lin didn’t reply immediately. He gave it some thought before saying, “Since I’m just a member of the branch family, I’ll only be looked down upon even if I were to head to the Ancestral Clan. Why would I go?”
Hearing that, Feng Shaoyou smiled. “Feng Lin, you grew up in the solar system and are just a frog at the bottom of the well. You don’t know how big the universe is; otherwise, you wouldn’t be saying this! Do you know why the solar system is a chaotic region? As the origin of the human race, it possesses a tremendous symbolic meaning. But why is it that the Interstellar humans treat them with indifference, allowing them to go into decline?”
Feng Lin’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there were some other reasons behind that?
Feng Shaoyou’s expression was extremely mysterious as if he had an urge to reveal the secret.
Feng Lin pretended that he didn’t know but said, “The solar system is the origins of the human race. For them to abandon it, isn’t it because the resources have been depleted?”
“That’s true as well!” Feng Shaoyou smiled. “But do you think that it’s because of ordinary resources? Right now, petroleum, diamonds, rare earth elements…all these ordinary materials can be artificially created through interstellar s.p.a.ce’s technology from a long time ago.
“Right now, what the solar system lacks are cultivating resources! Based on the interstellar s.p.a.ce’s super big scale optical computer’s calculation, there had been a brilliant cultivating civilization back in the solar system’s Ancient Era. It was a prosperous period, and it completely depleted the solar system’s spiritual qi of heaven and earth and spiritual qi resources. Oh, those are what the technological world refers to as spirit particles and spiritual substances.
“Without spiritual substances, humans are unable to step onto the path of extraordinaire. Therefore, prior to A.C. Year 6728 (Astronomic Calendar), humans still couldn’t awaken legendary genes. It’s only after they stepped out from the solar system and found spiritual substances in the interstellar s.p.a.ce once again…”
“To think that there had been such a story!” Feng Lin’s curiosity perked. He didn’t expect that there was such truth behind the solar system’s decline.
It was no wonder that everyone wanted to get into the Interstellar University. Only the interstellar s.p.a.ce was the sacred place for cultivators, a place where there were ample of cultivation resources and a bright future for them.
From these, it seemed that there were a lot of benefits to head to the Interstellar Ancestral Clan.
However, Feng Lin didn’t think that things would be so simple.
There were interest implications behind everything.
No contribution came with no reason at all!
If Feng Shaoyou didn’t have any benefits in doing so, why would he want to help him when they didn’t know each other at all?
“If I wish to go to the Interstellar Ancestral Clan, what conditions are there? Just get straight to the point!” Feng Lin asked outright, not wis.h.i.+ng to spend too much time on c.r.a.p talk.
“You’re a straightforward person! It’s easy to talk to someone who understands things!” Feng Shaoyou smiled and put out a finger. “It’s very easy to return to the Ancestral Clan. There’s only one condition. That is…
“Become my Protector!”
