The Direct Line Suffers!

"This, this, and this..."

Tantai Zhe named out his own clansmen and those he was close to, and after this naming process, he also named out most of the collateral relatives.

He wouldn't save the rest of the people, either because they were completely unrelated to him or because he had a very bad relationship with them.

"Sir, aren't you taking too many people with you?"

The three Great Saint- level ancestors of the Tantai Clan were anxious. If these collateral relatives were all taken away, how could they carry out their plan? How could they bring back Tantai You's bloodline to its ancestral form?

What did you say?

Lin Ye unleashed a terrifying aura; his formidable physical strength combined with his Saint Technique was enough to rival the combat power of a typical Quasi-Emperor. Upon seeing this, the three Great Saint- level ancestors immediately cowered.

"You may take them away."

They quickly replied.

Let's go!

Lin Ye led this group of collateral relatives of the Tantai Clan, then tore through the void and took them away.

Seeing that everyone had left, the remaining members of the collateral branch of the Tantai Clan were terrified, because they had not yet left and their bloodlines would surely be extracted.

"Three patriarchs, what should we do now?"

"First, extract the bloodline of these collateral relatives and infuse it into Tantai You's body. You few, come with me."

The three Great Saint- level ancestors had some of their direct Saint Realm ancestors leave with them, and then went to a grand hall, activated the formation, and began a meeting.

"Things have come to this point, and we've lost so many members of the collateral branches. If we give up now, all our previous efforts will have been in vain!" the three elders said.

"But most of the collateral relatives have already been taken away!"

They frowned.

But then their expressions changed, and they understood what the three elders meant.

"Ancestor, you want to let the direct descendants..."

"This won't do, Ancestor! That's our direct descendant!"

"Perhaps there are other ways, but we can't just target our own people!"

These Saint Realm all objected. Who doesn't have descendants? The direct descendants are almost all their descendants. If they were to attack the direct descendants, it would be the same as attacking their offspring!

"If we don't act now, it will be too late when the Dark Age arrives and the Tantai Clan is wiped out. Moreover, we will not target the geniuses, but only the direct descendants who lack potential, so as to preserve as much of their bloodline as possible and provide them with resources to restore their bodies, so that they do not die."

After the three patriarchs finished speaking, they made the decision. These elders at the Saint Realm had no way to resist and could only agree.

Soon, the news reached the core members of the faction, who were all filled with fear and trepidation.

"Father, save me! I don't want my bloodline extracted!"

"Big brother, I finally reached the King Conferment Realm through cultivation, I don't want to be crippled!"

"Ancestor, spare me! I don't want to be a useless piece of trash!"

One by one, the direct descendants of the Tantai Clan begged for mercy. Not long ago, they had witnessed the fate of the collateral branches and were still proud of being direct descendants. Unexpectedly, in just a short while, most of the collateral branches were rescued, while they, the direct descendants, were to have their bloodlines extracted.

At this moment, they hated Tantai You intensely and stared intently at Tantai You.

Tantai You also trembled. Some of these people whose bloodlines had been extracted were his elders, and some were his cousins. Now, one by one, their bloodlines had been extracted simply because they were of ordinary talent and not worth cultivating.

After most of the collateral members of the Tantai Clan left their grotto, Lin Ye brought them to the Eastern Mountain Imperial Dynasty Tantai Clan settled them near the territory of the Black-Yellow Sect. The Tantai Clan officially became an affiliated Aristocratic Clan of the Black-Yellow Sect.

They were very grateful for this.

Ye Chen went there immediately and met Tantai Yao; the two embraced tightly.

"Cough cough."

Lin Ye coughed lightly.

Seeing that his master was also nearby, Ye Chen released Tantai Yao. "Thank you, Master."

"This is just a small matter to me."

Lin Ye said calmly.

When Tantai Yao's parents saw Ye Chen next to their daughter and heard Lin Ye's words, they finally understood what was going on. Their woman had a lover, and this powerful figure who could crush the Tantai Clan was the master of their daughter's lover.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

The Tantai Zhe couple continued to express their gratitude.

"Alright, you can handle this yourselves."

Lin Ye left and returned to the Black-Yellow Sect. He was too lazy to care about these things and just wanted to go back and relax.

As time passed, the Tantai Clan gradually settled down near the Black-Yellow Sect and built their own Tantai Clan territory. If this branch of the clan were to rise and produce Quasi-Emperor in the future, then this branch would be the direct line, Tantai Grotto-Heaven would be the branch.

The hopes of the Tantai branch of the clan were placed on Tantai Yao, since with the Black-Yellow Sect as their backer, they had a chance to rise to power.

Another month has passed.

Tantai Grotto-Heaven.

Tantai You absorbed a large amount of bloodline power, and now his physical body has completely transformed, and his bloodline has successfully returned to its ancestral form. However, since it was done through a forbidden technique, his ancestral bloodline is still not as good as the bloodline of the first ancestor.

Meanwhile, Tantai You successfully awakened her own sacred body.

"It is the Blood Nether Saint Physique, but it is slightly inferior to the true Blood Nether Saint Physique!"

"It was so close, but it was so close. After all, it was Innate Saint Physique forged through forbidden techniques. Next, the entire clan will focus all its efforts on nurturing Tantai You until he reaches the Great Saint Realm before he emerges from seclusion."

"Yes!"

Lin Ye was unaware that Tantai You had become Innate Holy Land, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. With his strength, it wouldn't be long before he could easily crush an ordinary Quasi-Emperor. He naturally wouldn't take a mere guy who only had the hope of breaking through to Quasi-Emperor seriously.

Another day.

Yang Yang discovered a High Antiquity Fragment containing many High Antiquity Remnant Species. He entered the fragment, fought, devoured, and refined these High Antiquity Remnant Species. Combined with the large number of Primordial Descendant corpses and spirit medicine he had obtained from the Phoenix Ancient Realm Fragment, as well as some pills and holy medicine fragments he had exchanged from the sect, his cultivation level has improved rapidly, and he has already broken through to the Golden Body Realm Eighth Layer.

"It's almost time! Master said that Li Si has already broken through to the King Conferment Realm. He broke through to the Golden Body Realm much later, but he's the first to break through to the King Conferment Realm. It's unbelievable!"

Yang Yang wanted to break through to the King Conferment Realm for the second time, so he worked exceptionally hard, with almost no time to rest. He spent every day diligently cultivating and absorbing resources, and his physical body became stronger and stronger.

After some time, Yang Yang finally cultivated his Taotie Golden Body to perfection, reaching the Golden Body Realm Ninth Layer Peak.

So he returned to the Black-Yellow Sect and asked his master for the cultivation method of the Taotie Dharma Form.

"For you!"

Lin Ye gave Yang Yang the cultivation method for the Taotie Dharma Form that he had prepared beforehand, Yang Yang immediately left excitedly with this inheritance.
