Chapter 289: The Tushan Family’s Ancient Secret!

Right now, what Lin Wudao lacked the most was Fate Energy value.
There were many things that required Fate Energy value, but the biggest gold-devouring beast at the moment was the Qingshan Demonic G.o.d. Just to renew the divine position, he would need one billion Fate Energy value next month.
There were also the various divine techniques and divine rights of the Qingshan Demonic G.o.d, which required a large amount of Fate Energy value too.
Now, the appearance of the Sun Essence had helped him solve his pressing problem. At least, he would be able to secure the divine position of the Qingshan Demonic G.o.d next month.
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao’s worries were greatly alleviated.
“System, renew the divine position of the Qingshan Demonic G.o.d for next month.”
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host. You have consumed one billion Fate Energy value and successfully renewed the divine position of the Qingshan Demonic G.o.d for one month. Please continue to work hard and create greater glory.]
As the system notification sounded, the one billion Fate Energy value that Lin Wudao had just obtained disappeared before he could warm it up.
“I can’t go on like this! It’s impossible to obtain a large amount of Fate Energy value just by relying on the sacrifices of the tribe’s people. At the very least, the current situation doesn’t allow me to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor. If I want to reap benefits, I’ll have to invest. Looks like it’s time to pick up my old profession,” Lin Wudao muttered.
With a thought, he took out the corpse map and the Book of All Beings that he had not used for a long time.
These two things were his greatest tools to strengthen himself.
As the corpse map had not been used for a while, the information on it remained the same.
System, can the corpse map show the burial places of the powerhouses in the Mountain Mausoleum Area?”
[Yes. The host can use a certain amount of Fate Energy value to upgrade the corpse map, or temporarily add the area of Mountain Mausoleum Area to the original map.]
Uh, how much Fate Energy value does that require?”
[Unlocking the corpse hiding places within the range of the Thunder Swamp requires 10 million Fate Energy value. Unlocking the corpse hiding places of the Mountain Mausoleum Realm’s eastern region requires too million Fate Points…]
The system reported a series of prices.
Lin Wudao was stunned.
The Mountain Mausoleum Area was far huger than he had imagined.
The place he was in now was only the Thunder Swamp region. The eastern region outside the Thunder Swamp was even more vast.
Furthermore, since there was the eastern region, there must be other regions.
“As expected of the word ‘area’ in the name, it is indeed extraordinary.
Lin Wudao sighed inwardly.
Following this, he spent 10,000,000 Fate Energy value to unlock the corpse hiding places within Thunder Swamp.
Whoosh!
A mysterious light suddenly bloomed from the corpse map. After a moment, the corpse map had undergone a great change.
Lin Wudao could see that a new region had been added to the original map.
It was Thunder Swamp, which was huge.
The map of the place shown on the corpse map was as vast as the territory of Jiuzhou outside.
After the upgrade, many corpse hiding places were marked on the map.
[Character: Tushan Feng]
[Ident.i.ty: The leader of the Tushan family ten thousand years ago]
[Cultivation: Perfection stage of the Divine Illumination realm]
[Burial location: Sunset Tomb]
[Status: Dead]
[Unlock: 50 million Fate Energy value.]
[Character: Feng Qingtian]
[Ident.i.ty: The leader of the Tianfeng tribe ten thousand years ago]
[Cultivation: Perfection stage of the Divine Illumination realm]
[Burial location: Sunset Tomb]
[Status: Dead]
[Unlock: 50 million Fate Energy value.]
[Character: Black dragon]
[Ident.i.ty: Elder of the black dragon race in the ancient times of Mountain Mausoleum Area]
[Cultivation: Level 10 True G.o.d]
[Burial location: Spirit Ruins]
[Status: Dead]
[Unlock: 5 billion Fate Energy value.]
A lot of information came into view and Lin Wudao was dazzled.
“The Tushan family, Tianfeng tribe, and ancient black dragon… These are all truly peak powerhouses. Their bodies have been around for tens of thousands of years, even hundreds of thousands of years, but they haven’t decayed. Especially that ancient black dragon. It’s definitely a fat sheep.”
“Just a section of the black dragon’s spine was worth 10 million Fate Energy value after the sacrifice. If I collect its corpse, the harvest will definitely be huge. It’s a pity that unlocking its resting place requires five billion Fate Energy value, which has already exceeded the range that I can currently bear.”
Lin Wudao sighed.
The corpse map did not disappoint him. All the information recorded on it was of great value.
However, he currently lacked Fate Energy value and did not dare to waste it casually.
“System, what kind of place is the Sunset Tomb?”
[It used to be the Tushan family’s eighth ancestral land.]
Hmm? The eighth ancestral land of the Tushan family?
Hearing this, Lin Wudao’s heart skipped a beat.
“System, since the Sunset Tomb is the eighth ancestral land of the Tushan family, does that mean that the Tushan family has other ancestral lands other than the Sunset Tomb? Moreover, there are at least seven of them?”
[Yes. A long time ago, the Tushan family had been incomparably glorious for some time. At the peak of their power, they were the rulers of the Mountain Mausoleum Area, inheriting the position of Mountain Mausoleum Area’s Lord.]
[During that glorious period, the Tushan family built ten ancestral lands in all parts of the Mountain Mausoleum Area, where many divine items and supreme treasures were stored. They were kept for the sake of the descendants of the Tushan family.]
[At the same time, it was also as a precaution that in case the Tushan family declined, future generations could use it to revitalize the family.]
[In the Mountain Mausoleum Area, the ten ancestral lands of the Tushan family are one of the biggest treasures. Over countless years, countless creatures have gone berserk for them.]
[However, that glorious period of history has been forcefully erased for some reason.]
[Even the Tushan family from eighty thousand years ago was less than one billionth of their peak.]
The system responded.
What? Was the Tushan family that powerful?
Lin Wudao was shocked.
This was the first time he had heard such a shocking secret. What the system said had completely overturned his understanding of the Tushan family.
II
System, is the Qingshan Demonic G.o.d a G.o.d worshiped by the Tushan family eighty thousand years ago, or a G.o.d worshiped by the Tushan family at its peak?”
[It’s from 80,000 years ago, of course.]
[In the past, when the Tushan family ruled the Mountain Mausoleum Area, the G.o.d they worshiped wasn’t the Qingshan Demonic G.o.d, but the more ancient and mysterious Tushan Great Demon.]
[Tushan family got its name from the Tushan Great Demon.]
What was that? The Tushan family and the Tushan Great Demon were related?
Lin Wudao’s pupils constricted when he heard this.
This was a shocking secret.
Others might not know about the Tushan Great Demon, but he had experienced the other party’s power himself.
The supreme talisman he currently had was obtained from the Tushan Great Demon’s golden talisman after it underwent the system’s tenfold enhancement.
The golden talisman was an ident.i.ty token that was second only to the supreme talisman in the City of Heavens. It represented an extremely high status and ident.i.ty. From this, it could be seen how terrifying the Tushan Great Demon’s power was.
That level was not something that the current him could imagine.
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao could not help but take a deep breath.
The system’s words had given him a huge psychological impact.
“System, as far as I know, Tushan Great Demon is a powerful being with a City of Heavens’ golden talisman. Why is the Tushan family that worships Him so weak?”
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Lin Wudao asked.
[Heh, it can’t be that the host thinks that there is only one Tushan family, right?]
“What do you mean?”
[As the devout believers of Tushan Great Demon and the strongest force under His command, how could the Tushan family be weak?]
[The Tushan family that you see is simply not the real Tushan family. The Tushan family of the Mountain Mausoleum Area only has a weak bloodline power of the Tushan family.]
[Their bloodline level is extremely low and they’re simply not orthodox Tushan family members.]
What? There was more than one Tushan family?
Lin Wudao was secretly shocked.
“System, do you mean that there are other Tushan family members outside the
Mountain Mausoleum Area? Moreover, they’re even more powerful?”
[Of course. One day, if you meet the Tushan family’s members with the orthodox bloodline, you will know how powerful they are.]
[None of the clans that can be called a clan are simple.]
So that was how it was!
After hearing the system’s explanation, Lin Wudao’s horizons were broadened. At the same time, he gained a vague understanding of the Tushan family.
Moreover, he could feel that the Mountain Mausoleum Area must be hiding some shocking secrets about the Tushan family.
“Perhaps, if I find the ten ancestral lands, I can see the glory of the past Tushan family?” Lin Wudao pondered.
System, can I unlock the Tushan family’s ancestral lands?”
[Yes. However, with the host’s financial resources, you can’t afford it at all.]
Huh…
Lin Wudao couldn’t help but sigh.
He was indeed too poor..
