Ye Wen looked at the old man in his arms and spoke softly.
"Thank you, Old Ancestor."
He gently laid Old Uncle Zong on the bed where he had just been lying, then began to feel the changes in his body!
Now that the seal had been broken, it was as if Ye Wen's soul had become purer.
The resonance between their bloodlines had grown stronger, too. No wonder the old man had recognized him as a clansman at a glance.
But that bloodline resonance gradually weakened, until it faded away completely.
Perhaps the old man's blood no longer held any vitality, since he had died.
Or perhaps Ye Wen's surging Primordial Chaos Bloodline was gradually contracting into his Pre-cancerous Cells.
Now Ye Wen could clearly sense the Pre-cancerous Cells inside his body.
They were like a planet unlike any other, filled with an utterly terrifying energy.
The Way of Life, the Way of Death, the Way of Limitlessness, the Way of Time, the Way of Space, and the Ways of all things at the beginning of the universe.
Ye Wen couldn't help but circulate the Endless Sacred Dao Scripture, which was imprinted deep within his soul!
At that moment, the Pre-cancerous Cells seemed to be drawn by something. They began to tremble violently, then spun at high speed, releasing energy from their centers in every direction.
But the energy couldn't escape the control of the Pre-cancerous Cells.
As Ye Wen continued to circulate the technique, the energy flying out of the Pre-cancerous Cells slowly gathered together, forming another planet the same size as the cells.
When the technique completed a full cycle, Ye Wen was astonished to find that his Pre-cancerous Cells had become two—two identical cells.
Ye Wen was utterly shocked!
"Is this... is this the effect of the Endless Sacred Dao Scripture?
Cultivating it could increase the number of Pre-cancerous Cells.
Ye Wen now had two Pre-cancerous Cells inside his body.
He carefully sensed both cells and found that, apart from being identical, he couldn't yet tell them apart.
When Ye Wen stood up, he suddenly realized something was off. Had his strength increased again?
Every cell in his body began frantically absorbing spiritual energy.
It felt just like the first time he had improved. His body was constantly growing stronger, constantly gaining strength.
Amazing!!!
Ye Wen's body and soul trembled without pause.
This kind of improvement was even more intoxicating than a moment of ecstasy.
His rising strength left Ye Wen neither confused nor timid anymore.
Ye Wen looked at Old Uncle Zong's body on the bed, then spoke softly to the old man.
"Don't worry, Old Ancestor. I'll lead our clan back to the Supreme Race. I, Ye Wen, will take on this responsibility."
The old man's eyes closed, and two trails of bloody tears ran down his face. Ye Wen gently wiped them away.
"Don't cry for me. Since you said even the Human Ancestor chose me, how could I let the Human Ancestor and you down?"
At that moment, the Old Clan Leader came into the room with Little Quanzi, the Clan Leader. They, too, saw the old man's body on the bed.
Their eyes were red. Though they were terribly grieved, the old man had already made his final arrangements, so the two of them accepted the reality.
The Old Clan Leader handed Ye Wen a very worn-out bundle.
"Old Uncle Zong asked us to give this to you before he died."
With that, they left to prepare for Old Uncle Zong's funeral.
Ye Wen looked at the shabby bundle in his hands, then at Old Uncle Zong's peaceful face. He was curious about what the old man had left him.
When he opened it, a letter caught his eye.
Ye Wen took it out. Looking at the vigorous, forceful handwriting, he could almost see the old man who had once seized dragons and captured tigers beneath the nine heavens, waving to him.
"Young man, I never got to ask your name, but it doesn't matter. I'm dead now, after all. What difference does it make whether I know it or not?
After I die, you needn't grieve. Just have them bury me according to the village's customs.
You should be able to cultivate now. I guess you must have just cultivated the Endless Sacred Dao Scripture.
This technique is damn amazing, isn't it? Xing Gui, Xing Hui, and all those other old ghosts and I never had the chance to learn it.
Xing Gui always thought the inheritance had long been lost. Who would've thought the Human Ancestor had already made arrangements?
This technique is a sacred scripture for endlessly strengthening the body. It's also what those people have coveted from us all along.
But they don't have the Primordial Chaos Bloodline. Even if they got their hands on it, they couldn't cultivate it.
The Endless Sacred Dao Scripture lets the Pre-cancerous Cells expand without limit, in an orderly fashion, making the body infinitely powerful.
Powerful enough to slay gods and immortals, to destroy heaven and earth, with nothing but the strength of your body.
With a wave of your hand or a step of your foot, you can destroy heaven and earth.
Pluck the stars with one hand, tread between heaven and earth!
But you're only just starting out. Never let pride or complacency get the better of you. Your enemies are incredibly powerful!
You must seek out a soul cultivation technique.
Our ancestors warned us with their lives and blood: no matter how powerful the body becomes, it can never make you completely invincible throughout the universe.
So you must go out and find a cultivation technique that can strengthen your soul. Remember this! Remember this!
The bundle contains a few little things. They're our keepsakes. Keep them as mementos."
