The Giant Bear Clan's Ambition!

In just a few days, Shan Li, carrying the aged Shi Pan, traversed millions of miles of territory and landed in the Giant Bear Ancestral Court.

In the heart of the ancestral temple, the Spiritual Qi was so rich that it turned into white mist.

Seven sacred mountains, each ten thousand feet tall, rose from the ground, belonging to the seven major veins. Their combined power pressed down, causing even the void to subtly distort.

The Shan Li didn't go anywhere else, but went straight down to a side peak of the Mountain Bear Lineage.

As soon as they landed, an old man in a brown robe came to greet them; the old man was Nascent Soul Late Stage who cultivated the Earth Dao Immortal Foundation, and upon seeing Shan Li return, he immediately cupped his hands in greeting.

"Shan Li girl, what brings you back to the ancestral temple?"

"Didn't you just go back a while ago?"

Without another word, Shan Li threw the Shi Pan he was carrying forward, which landed steadily in front of the old man, who was barely breathing.

"Uncle, could you please take a look at this young man?"

The old man lowered his head, his Divine Sense sweeping over Shi Pan, and his brows furrowed.

"The source of life has been depleted, and vitality has dissipated. This injury has lingered for at least several hundred years; if it weren't for a breath keeping him alive, he would have died long ago."

Shan Li clapped his hands. "Can it be cured or not?"

"It can be cured naturally."

The old man stroked his chin. "The Thick Earth Life-Nurturing Instruction, combined with two ounces of Lifeless Breathing Earth, buried in the earth's veins and nurtured for a hundred years, can rebuild his foundation."

"But this precious, Lifeless Breathing Earth is being used on an old bear from another tribe..."

Before the old man could finish speaking, Shan Li chuckled.

"Foreigners? These are my husband's close former subordinates, as close as his own children, even closer than Xiao'er!"

The old man was taken aback, then his expression changed slightly, and he immediately changed his words: "Since he is Shi Jian's former subordinate, then I will do my best; girl, don't worry, leave this old bear to me, I'll make sure he's alive and kicking."

One sentence, "Shi Jian," and their attitudes are completely different.

Shan Li's mind was as clear as a mirror.

In the eyes of these old fellows in the Ancestral Court, Shi Jian, who was at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage, and Shi Jian, who was at the Spirit Transformation stage, were of completely different weight.

In the past, I looked down on them to some extent.

Now, things are completely different from before; the realm of Spirit Transformation is where one truly ascends the path of seeking enlightenment, and can only be called an Immortal or Ancestor!

"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle. Please cover the expenses."

After saying this, Shan Li turned around and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the highest peak of the Mountain Bear Main Lineage.

The main hall at the summit is spacious and sparsely furnished.

A towering figure, as imposing as Shan Yue, sat cross-legged in the center of the hall, surrounded by an extremely heavy Earth Dao aura.

Shan Wanling gently adjusted his breathing, and finally let out a soft sigh.

Shan Li stepped into the hall, his steps very light.

"Father."

Shan Wanling opened his eyes, his gaze falling on his daughter, and his previously dormant Dao aura quickly subsided.

"You're back."

Shan Wanling's voice was deep, yet tinged with amusement, "Your husband has certainly made quite a stir. Thirty years to Spirit Transformation, and he broke through in one fell swoop, even alarming the Ancestor."

Shan Li walked over and sat down, picked up a spirit fruit from the table and took a bite. "Don't you know his temperament?"

"Once someone has made up their mind, nothing can change it. But this breakthrough was indeed dangerous."

"Dangerous as it may be, success will make you an immortal."

Shan Wanling stood up, walked to the palace gate, and looked out at the sea of clouds with his hands behind his back.

"No matter how strong Nascent Soul, they are still just an ant."

"Only by stepping into the Spirit Transformation and comprehending the Great Dao of this world can one be qualified to make a move on this chessboard of the Beast Realm. Shi Jian has now truly taken his seat at the table."

Shan Li swallowed the fruit and clapped his hands. "Father, although I didn't come back specifically to see you, you can't just praise him all the time, can you?"

Shan Wanling turned and glanced at her, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Girl, you shouldn't be praising him."

"The Ancestor has given an order, a decree personally issued by the Ancestor Shanyue and the Dao Venerable E Gu."

Shan Li sat up straight.

Shan Wanling said, enunciating each word clearly, "The clan has now decided to support the Lightning Bear Line and elevate it to the eighth major lineage."

Upon hearing this, Shan Li tightened his grip on the half-eaten spirit fruit, crushing it to powder.

Main vein!

The Giant Bear Clan has existed for countless years, but its main lineage has always consisted of only seven branches.

Each branch has one or even several Nascent Spirit Transformation presiding over it, dividing up the most core resources, territories, and power of discourse within the clan.

Now, is it really time to insert an eighth one?

"Father, this resolution..." Shan Li lowered his voice, "Will the other branches agree to it?"

What if you disagree?

Shan Wanling snorted coldly, "Shi Jian cultivates the Purple Pivot Lightning, a foundation of Immortal Foundation below the Divine Firmament Dao Fruit. Moreover, his bloodline was personally tempered by the Dao Venerable, and Spirit Transformation soul was comparable to the Nascent Soul stage."

"With such talent, given time, it's not impossible for him to even reach the Divine Firmament Dao Fruit; moreover, the Profound Lightning Beast Emperor's lifespan is nearing its end."

"In the future, if Shi Jian can truly become Divine Firmament, he will have the opportunity to attempt to break through to the Dao Embryo; looking towards the Dao Path, our Beast Realm will certainly plot against him!"

"Besides, who would dare disobey the Dao Venerable E Gu?"

Shan Wanling walked back to his seat, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"Thunder Method is domineering and its combat power is unparalleled. The clan has long harbored the ambition to unify the Dao of Lightning, but what it lacks is a Nascent Spirit Transformation who can keep the situation in check."

"Shi Jian is the best choice. Otherwise, why would I have chosen him at first sight and married you to him?"

"The clan had long harbored this intention, and Shi Jian's appearance just happened to be the perfect opportunity; moreover, his destiny is extraordinary, and fortuitous opportunity many fortuitous events. This is a seedling capable of achieving great things!"

Upon hearing this, Shan Li couldn't help but sigh.

I never imagined there would be so many twists and turns in her marriage; and then I think about how the Profound Lightning Beast Emperor's lifespan is nearing its end.

And the Ancestor Egu, who attained the Dao of [Barbarian Bone]; it seems that the ambitions of their Giant Bear Clan are quite considerable!
