Giant Bear Ancestral Court!
Several months later, Shi Jian and Shan Li set off for the Mountain Bear Ancestral Court Temple.
Shi Lei was left in Divine Firmament Plain and placed in Xiong Gang's care; when the little brat was taken away, he clung tightly to Shi Jian's finger and wouldn't let go, whining and making a fuss for quite a while.
"Come on, come on, just like his dad, so clingy."
Shan Li pulled the bear cub away and stuffed it into Xiong Gang's arms.
Two beams of light shot into the sky, one purple and one yellow, rushing towards the northeast.
This was Shi Jian's first time heading towards the ancestral temple.
He has been with the Giant Bear Clan for two hundred years, yet he has never even set foot in the main territory; he was casually thrown to the borderlands back then and has fought his way here.
The journey took several days.
The landscape gradually changes along the way, the barren wasteland recedes and is replaced by a continuous range of sacred mountains; the mountains are extremely high, rising from the ground by tens of thousands of feet; the mountains are transparent, and the Spirit Vein can be faintly seen flowing in the rock layers, like the blood vessels of the earth.
The concentration of Spiritual Qi is also increasing.
The deeper you go, the richer the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becomes; eventually, you can feel the boundless Spiritual Qi flowing into your lungs with every breath.
"Soon."
Shan Li- ri was ahead, and turned back to nod at him.
Shi Jian raised his eyes and spread his Divine Sense.
On the horizon ahead, the outline of a colossal creature is slowly emerging from the clouds.
That was a mountain.
No, that's not a mountain.
It was an entire continent, a magnificent sight that defied description.
The Giant Bear Ancestral Court was built on a floating continent suspended in the sky; the continent spanned millions of miles, with countless Spirit Vein as thick as rivers hanging from its bottom, deeply embedded in the earth below.
On the edge of the continent, a waterfall cascades down from a great height, its spray creating a dappled, colorful glow.
Furthermore, there are dozens of wide spiritual light passages that lead directly from the ground to the continent; the passages are filled with Demon Beast, mostly low-level bear demons at the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment, either transporting supplies or relaying messages.
"This is the ancestral court." Shan Li slowed his escape speed and walked side by side with Shi Jian.
"The strongholds of the seven main lineages are all located up there; the entire floating continent is based on the Barbarian Bone Dao essence of the Dao Venerable E Gu, and even ordinary Spirit Transformation cannot destroy it."
Shi Jian's gaze narrowed slightly. His Divine Sense probed towards the floating continent, but when it touched the edge of the continent, it was repelled by an extremely profound Daoist aura.
That aura was white, calm and restrained, yet as heavy as a mountain range piled up on top of each other.
The aura of the Barbarian Bone Dao Fruit.
"Don't pry."
Shan Li patted him on the shoulder. "The ancestral court has special restrictions that prevent those below the Spirit Transformation Divine Sense from probing inside; even Spirit Transformation demon immortals dare not freely spread their Divine Sense above the ancestral court."
Shi Jian withdrew his Divine Sense and flew up a spiritual light passage with the Shan Li.
The passageway of spiritual light was hundreds of feet wide, with bone-white railings on both sides, inscribed with the Barbarian Bone Dao; in the passageway, many bear demons gave way and bowed when they saw Shan Li.
"I have met Master Shan Li."
Shan Li his hand dismissively, ignoring him, and led Shi Jian straight up.
We passed through the clouds and stepped onto the floating land.
The moment Shi Jian's feet touched the ground, a surge of powerful spiritual energy flowed in from beneath his feet, almost causing his Immortal Foundation to stir.
The concentration of Spiritual Qi here is probably dozens of times higher than outside.
The sight before him filled him with even greater amazement.
On the floating land, mountains and rivers crisscross, and spiritual springs abound.
In the distance, one can see magnificent palace complexes built against the mountain, on an immense scale; each palace complex is the seat of a main ridge.
The palaces are connected by a spiritual avenue, lined with unknown spiritual trees whose branches and leaves shimmer with countless streams of spiritual light.
Above the sky, the aura of Nascent Soul cultivator occasionally swept by; the power of Spirit Transformation was also faintly visible, like muffled thunder deep within the heavens, never Indestructibility.
Seeing him looking around, Shan Li surprisingly showed some patience and pointed as they walked.
"See that? That largest mountain range to the due north is called Myriad Bones Ridge, the Daoist Temple of the Dao Venerable E Gu; normally, no one dares to approach within a million miles."
"South of Myriad Bones Ridge, seven mountain peaks stand in a ring, forming the ancestral land of the seven main mountain ranges."
She raised her hand and pointed to them one by one.
"The easternmost one belongs to the Pale Bear Lineage, the overlord of the Northern Wasteland, with two Nascent Spirit Transformation in the clan; the lineage leader, Cang Wuji, has three Immortal Foundations in the Late Spirit Transformation Immortal Foundation, ranking third among the seven lineages."
"In the southeast, the Iron Bear Lineage specializes in Dao of the Physical Body and Dao of Strength; one Nascent Spirit Transformation is at the Middle Spirit Transformation, and their lineage has a long history."
"The south is the Savage Sha Lineage, who cultivate the Sha Qi Dao. The clan has two Nascent Spirit Transformation and a profound foundation; many of the clan's Sha Qi Dao Cultivation Method were compiled by them."
"In the southwest lies the Mysterious Bear Lineage, who cultivate the Yin-Yang Dao, and one of their members is a Nascent Spirit Transformation; this lineage possesses both Yin and Yang auras, making them the most mysterious branch of the clan."
"The west is our Mountain Bear Lineage." Shan Li's tone held a hint of pride. "You've met the Three Nascent Spirit Transformation, including the Ancestor Shanyue, who was in the Late Spirit Transformation Immortal Foundation with three Immortal Foundations. He ranks second among the Seven Lineages, only behind the Giant Bear, the leader of the Seven Lineages."
"In the Northwest, the Snow Bear Lineage cultivates Ice Dao and Water Dao; the Nascent Spirit Transformation occupies the largest territory."
"Finally, due north, lies the Giant Bear Lineage."
Shan Li paused here, lowering his voice.
"The Giant Bear Lineage currently has only two Nascent Spirit Transformation remaining, but both are in the Late Spirit Transformation; the Ancestor Egu comes from the Giant Bear Lineage."
"Among the seven sects, if Giant Bear claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first."
"It is also the origin of my Giant Bear Clan."
Shi Jian nodded and noted down all this information; the seven main lineages, totaling twelve Nascent Spirit Transformation; such a foundation was truly enormous in the Beast Realm.
In addition, the Ancestor Egu holds the [Barbarian Bone] position.
This is the current Giant Bear Imperial Clan!
"Let's go, my dad's waiting."
Shan Li, holding Shi Jian's arm, flew towards the direction of the Mountain Bear Lineage.
