All Streams Return to the Source-the Source of Their Ancestry

Yun Prefecture, the Heavenly Illumination Divine General Residence.

The Wang Family, in Pingchuan Courtyard.

In the secluded and exquisite Courtyard, only a few old servants attended to the guests. The courtyard was extremely quiet, with birds perched on the branches. However, they were suddenly startled by an urgent sound from inside the house and flew away.

In the main hall of the courtyard, Li Jiangying and Li Rumeng, brother and sister, were looking at the old man with anxious expressions.

"Grandpa, we just sensed our ancestors calling us! Something has happened in Qing Prefecture!"

Please, please save my parents.

Both of them were pleading with the old man in front of them, who was their maternal grandfather, Wang Zhenping, the Sixth Master Wang.

They had been cultivating in the Courtyard when suddenly their Bloodline surged, and they sensed a series of calls that seemed to come from distant ancestors, beckoning them to return.

They knew that this was Blood Guidance Secret Technique used by the Li Family when they faced dire straits, at the cost of sacrificing the Heroic Soul of an ancestor.

When drawn by Bloodline, all those with the Bloodline of the Li Family will sense it and rush to gather.

Wang Zhenping's face was grim. He already knew from the Lineage's Intelligence that Qing Prefecture had met with disaster, but he never expected it to be in such a dangerous situation, forcing out the Ancestral Blood Summons. This was a dead end.

The Wang Family is a million miles away from Qing Prefecture, too far to be of any use. Even if troops are sent Past, by the time reinforcements arrive, the outcome will likely be decided, and the result will be uncertain.

Although the Wang and Li families are related by marriage, they live too far apart and have had little contact with each other. It would be difficult for them to help each other in times of trouble. Even distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, let alone those located at opposite ends of the Great Yu Dynasty.

Thinking of his beloved only daughter who was still in Qing Prefecture, his heart clenched. He had strongly opposed the marriage, but his daughter insisted on marrying the Old Eighth of the Li Family.

As it turned out, after she married Past, she wasn't as happy as he had imagined. She often wrote back to complain, which made him feel bad.

However, in this era, there were no cases of divorce without cause after marriage. Moreover, the Li Family was the Divine General Residence, and her husband was a general who guarded a region. If she complained that her husband was often away on campaign and filed for divorce, the entire Wang Family would probably become a laughing stock in the court and be despised by the people of the All Under Heaven.

Besides, the child is already so old, so we can only take things one day at a time.

But now, with Qing Prefecture in peril, his daughter will likely be buried with him.

"This Li Family is utterly incompetent!"

Wang Zhenping's face was grim. He looked at his grandson and granddaughter, his anger subsiding, and said:

"It's too late Past mobilize the Wang Family's army now. I'll go personally to bring your mother back; hopefully, it's not too late."

Upon hearing that their grandfather had agreed, the two were overjoyed and immediately kowtowed in gratitude.

Seeing how sensible the two younger generation members were, Wang Zhenping's Anger subsided slightly. Over the years, only these two sensible children had given him some comfort.

"Grandpa, let's go too," Li Rumeng said quickly after kowtowing.

Wang Zhenping's expression changed slightly, and he said decisively, "You all stay here, don't go anywhere!"

"But this is the Ancestral Blood Summons. If we don't go, I'm afraid that in the future..." Li Jiangying said with a hint of fear in her eyes.

Wang Zhenping took a deep breath. He knew that if Lineage illegitimate son of the Divine General Residence's Mansion, who had moved out hundreds of years ago, hadn't attended, it would have been fine, since they probably wouldn't have any feelings left. But if the current direct descendant didn't attend, he probably wouldn't have the face to go back in the future.

"I don't even know if your mother will make it in time. If she doesn't, you will be the last Bloodline of the Li Family. With your cultivation at the Spirit Wandering Realm, there's no point in rushing Past."

Wang Zhenping said in a deep voice, "If the Li Family survives this catastrophe, I will personally visit them to explain things to them. Given Li Family situation then, I don't believe they will still disown you!"

The brother and sister exchanged a glance, both pale-faced. Li Rumeng clenched her fingers nervously, her face full of unease.

Li Jiangying suddenly said, "Grandpa, why don't we go to the Mo River first?"

Wang Zhenping was slightly taken aback, realizing that his mind had gone blank. Yes, how could he not have thought of that?

If one goes to the Mo River, even the Ancestral Blood Summons will be blocked, and one cannot simply leave at will. This explains why it is difficult to personally attend to the crime.

His eyes gleamed slightly as he looked at Li Jiangying and smiled:

"Good grandson, you're so clever! I'll have Uncle Xianzhou come and pick you up right now and take you to the Mo River. Let's go to the Yin Fiend-level Mo River. You've already looked at some information about the Mo River and the past clearance records. If you're lucky, with your Spirit Wandering Realm strength, you have a chance to clear it. That's 1000 merit points! Work hard!"

The reason I brought my grandson and granddaughter here earlier was because the Merit Treasure Trove had been opened.

The sheer variety of treasures available for exchange there is dazzling. With enough merit, one can rapidly increase their strength, far surpassing geniuses of the same realm.

During this period, the Wang Family also became a target for various forces to make connections. Countless Aristocratic Clan and Warrior hoped to accumulate merit in the Mo River through the Wang Family.

Since the family's younger generation naturally wanted to benefit from this arrangement, they were the first to accept it.

This is also why Li Jiangying and her brother were at the Wang Family's house.

"Um!"

Upon hearing Wang Zhenping's words, Li Jiangying's eyes lit up. Even just destroying the Mo River would earn her 10 merit points. If she cleared the level, 1,000 merit points could be exchanged for a multitude of treasures.

Sword Heart only requires 100 merit points to increase the speed of weapon comprehension.

The Grandmaster's Heart is also 100 points, which means that as long as you clear the level, with the help of Lineage resources and the Grandmaster's Heart you exchange, you can quickly reach the Heaven and Man Realm without any obstacles!

Many geniuses accumulate resources to reach the Fifteen Li Realm limit, but get stuck at the Heaven and Man Realm. Now that there is Merit Treasure Trove, it is like giving these geniuses a faster fast track.

"Remember, try your best to clear the Mo River. Don't just destroy it by brute force. The Mo River is a precious resource now. Destroying it will cause it to disappear, and the loss of merit points will be hundreds of times greater."

Wang Zhenping warned.

The Mo River is no longer a frightening place; instead, it has become a scarce resource and is protected. At least the sections of the Mo River that the Wang Family has explored are all guarded by the army, and ordinary people are prohibited from exploring them.

After all, destruction means disappearance, and the benefits are too low. Now, the goal is to clear the Mo River to maximize the benefits, but clearing it is extremely difficult. Therefore, now when exploring the Mo River, one either chooses to fail and quit to start over, or clear it. This is the Wang Family's current hard rule for the Mo River, unlike in the past when the goal was simply to destroy it, just to reduce the number of the Mo River within the territory of Great Yu.

This kind of bipolar reversal is also quite normal.

If eating poop could grant immortality, even dogs wouldn't have a chance to live.

"Your Heavenly Talent are not bad. Although you are not as talented as Li Qianfeng from your Li Family, with the support of my Wang Family, and by utilizing the current resources of the Mo River, we will reserve these low-level Mo River specifically for you to accumulate merit. Once you accumulate 10,000 points, you can exchange them for the cultivation of the Power Circulation Extreme Realm. That is a power that can help you surpass your limits. Once you obtain it, you will completely leave other Heavenly Prodigy behind. There is nothing that Li Qianfeng can compare to."

Before leaving, Wang Zhenping gave the two more instructions and advice.

Hearing their grandfather's earnest teachings, the brother and sister both nodded, their eyes shining slightly.

During their time at the Wang Family, they heard a great deal of information that broadened their horizons and made them extremely eager to reach the Power Circulation Extreme Realm.

If they can obtain it, they will no longer be mere spectators when the Li Family competes for the title of True Dragon in the future!

"I'm leaving now. I've already sent a message to your Uncle Xianzhou, and I'll ask him to change the time you entered the Mo River of Death."

Wang Zhenping said this, then handed the two children over to his old Steward and hurriedly left.

The brother and sister exchanged a worried glance, wondering if their grandfather would be able to bring their mother back.

"Unfortunately, I heard that madman is dead, which didn't give us a chance to catch up."

Li Jiangying gazed in the direction her grandfather had left, her eyes flickering, and whispered Whispers.

As members of the Li Family of this generation, they have all been living in the shadow of that boy ever since he suddenly appeared two years ago.

The young man shone with an overwhelming brilliance, so dazzling that even the Buddha Master's Personal Disciple was completely overshadowed, let alone the others.

As a young boy, how could he not feel angry and jealous?

When news of Liang Prefecture's exploits reached them, the brother and sister both heard about it and realized that the gap between them and that young man had widened even further. They had been devastated, but they were grateful to that Chong Er for bringing the Merit Treasure Trove into existence, which gave them hope and a chance to catch up.

Although the boy had already gone far ahead, he would eventually stop once he reached the Four Establishments Realm.

Like the elders in the Lineage, after reaching the Four Establishments Realm at the age of thirty-four, they remained there for decades or even centuries, until they died in battle, unable to break through again.

The higher the level, the slower the progress. They fell behind in the early stages, but that doesn't mean they can't catch up later.

This Merit Treasure Trove, along with the resources of the maternal Lineage, is their greatest hope and source of confidence.

"That man was too arrogant; even Heaven couldn't stand it. Do you think the current troubles our Lineage is because he was too rampant in Liang Prefecture, causing those Demons to vent their anger on our Li Family?"

Li Rumeng gritted her teeth as she mentioned that person, a flash of resentment crossing her bright eyes.

"Perhaps, but those Demon should be attacking Heaven's Gate Pass, not coming to the Li Family. There must be another reason."

Li Jiangying said, a murderous glint in his eyes. "I was originally planning to accumulate merit to exchange for the Extreme Realm in the treasure vault, and then have a good fight with him in the future, to get back at him for that slap he gave you back then. But he's dead. If something happens to my mother this time, even if he's dead, I won't let him go. I'll find the Mo River where his remnant soul is, and make him beg for death!"

Hearing her Older Brother's words, Li Rumeng's eyes filled with worry:

"Will Mother be alright? Grandpa should be able to make it in time, right? He's Unique Skill Realm, no less skilled than Second Master..."

"It's too far away..."

A look of worry also appeared in Li Jiangying's eyes.

Since the Ancestral Blood Summons released from Qing Prefecture, Great Yu has been inspired in all regions.

"It's the call of our ancestors! Our Lineage is in peril!"

"How could our Li Family have come to this? What happened in Qing Prefecture?"

"Father, aren't we surnamed Zhao? How come we also have this sensation within our bodies?"

"Your grandmother's surname was Li. She married into our Zhao Family. Although the Bloodline in your veins is very thin, the fact that you can still sense it means you still have Li Family blood!"

"Thanks to your grandmother's connections, my Zhao Family's business has thrived over the years, allowing us to establish a firm foothold in Cloud Mist City."

"Should we Past there too?"

"Go, of course we'll go. That's your grandmother's Lineage, and the Li Family has protected our Great Yu for thousands of years. Now that the Li Family is in trouble, how can we not go?"

"Master, are you going too?"

"Go, my disciples, wait here for my return. If I do not return, your Eldest Senior Brother will succeed me."

"Great-Grandma, are you going too?"

"Go, bring me the horse."

From the Nineteen Provinces, from every city and town, every person felt the call of their Bloodline and was shocked. Some hesitated, but many more resolutely chose to set off for Qing Prefecture.

Like the Starlight that once filled the sky, it now converges on the land of Qing Prefecture, like Bai Chuan into the ocean!

That was their Bloodline Ancestral Land, the Divine General Residence that bore more than three thousand years of glory, and the direction they looked towards when they reminisced about it countless times.

Their departure alarmed various forces Nineteen Provinces. The Bloodline of the Five Divine General Residences, passed down over thousands of years, were scattered far and wide. Now, with the actions of these people, almost all forces in the entire Great Yu Dynasty knew about the situation in Qing Prefecture.

This also includes powerful forces such as the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

Some of them were members of the Li Family Bloodline, serving as elders and leaders. At this moment, they not only left themselves but also mobilized all available resources from various factions to reinforce Qing Prefecture.

This is the deep-rooted and complex Bloodline of the Divine General Residence.

They traveled in groups, some riding fast horses, others soaring through the Sky Traversal.

Some rushed down from Famous Mountain, swords in hand, traversing thousands of miles to reach those distant lands.

Some emerged from their Seclusion retreats within the magnificent pagodas, soaring into the sky and resolutely heading towards their destination.

The passing of the Heroic Soul of a Li Family Ancestors summoned countless Bloodline from thousands of miles away, rushing to that great state ravaged by Demon, where countless lives had been lost.
