Transform into ancestral tablets and create a supreme immortal clan.
Chapter 1 Ancestral Tablets, Ancestors Manifesting Their Spirits
"What kind of time travel is this?"
Shen Xiao's true spirit circled once inside the sandalwood memorial tablet.
No one knows what sins he committed to become someone else's ancestor.
A dead man who has been gone for five hundred years!
He remembered that just a day before, he was known as "Infernal Prison," one of the world's top ten assassins.
He is ruthless and has a notorious reputation.
I just accepted a lucrative bounty mission to infiltrate the "KK" compound in northern China and hunt down the compound's leader.
He slaughtered dozens of people along the way, tearing out their hearts and lungs!
Then he was betrayed and died from enemy sniping.
When I woke up again, I was this ancestral tablet.
Through the rising wisps of incense smoke, one could see Shen Shichu, the current head of the Shen family, leading more than a dozen family cultivators, respectfully bowing and offering incense.
This white-haired cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining had a hint of weariness and worry in his eyes that he tried his best to hide.
"Ancestors above, a cultivator from another clan is forcibly seizing the medicinal fields of Qingyu Peak, and various major cultivation families are eyeing them covetously. Our foundation is in jeopardy, and the Shen clan is on the verge of collapse. This unworthy descendant, Shen Shichu, is incompetent and begs for the protection of our ancestors..."
The family head, Shen Shichu, kept rambling on and on, and Shen Xiao learned some basic information from him.
In summary, the Shen family was in decline, surrounded by powerful enemies, and facing numerous crises.
However, there is nothing Shen Xiao can do right now.
To be precise, he is now just an ancestral tablet in the Shen family ancestral temple, without even a physical body.
It doesn't even have a soul; it's not even a ghost.
According to the system, his destiny is highly compatible with that of a cultivator in this world who is also named "Shen Xiao".
In order to avoid the search and rejection of this world's will and to better conceal their own aura, they had no choice but to make do with this transmigration.
With the help of the system, his last glimmer of consciousness devoured the last trace of the divine soul left behind by the ancestor of the Shen family, and merged with the ancestral tablet that was also named Shen Xiao.
They became the ancestral spirits trapped in the Shen family ancestral temple.
Given the current situation, we can consider him a minor ancestor of the Shen family.
The Shen family is now just a third-rate cultivation family in the Chu Kingdom's cultivation world, and they have lived in Beipan Mountain in Mingzhou for generations.
They were quite wealthy five hundred years ago.
Unfortunately, each generation is worse than the last.
Especially after the battle for the Yaoshan Spirit Mine a century ago.
Two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Shen family died, and most of their core Qi Refining disciples also perished.
As a result, the Shen family has suffered a sharp decline in resources, a loss of talent, and a lack of successors over the past century.
A century has passed, and it has fallen into such decline.
To this day, none of his unworthy descendants can even lift a heavy cauldron.
The only remaining early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, now 291 years old, is buried up to his skull, clinging to life with only his last breath.
Based on the fact that Foundation Establishment cultivators have a lifespan of no more than three hundred years, even at the very least, they only live for nine years.
They barely managed to maintain the last shred of face the Shen family had left.
As for the current head of the Shen family, an old man who has been stuck at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining for thirty years, he is already eighty-nine years old.
With the meridians and tendons hardened, the Qi and blood depleted, and the potential almost exhausted, there is no hope of building a foundation.
The number of cultivators in the Shen family has also rapidly fallen below twenty this year.
If things continue like this, the entire Shen family might one day completely vanish and be wiped out from the cultivation world of Chu.
More importantly, the Shen family has inherited many valuable items, which have always been coveted by the other two major cultivation families in the Beipan Mountain area.
Once the Shen family's only Foundation Establishment cultivator passes away, the Shen family will likely face certain death and extermination.
And Shen Xiao, the ancestor who resides on the incense tablet, will naturally vanish into thin air.
The future of the family business is in jeopardy!
Thinking about all this, Shen Xiao couldn't help but feel a heart attack.
Even with the system at his disposal, the things he can do are extremely limited with his current abilities.
Fortunately, with this "family worship system" by their side, there is still a chance for things to turn around.
His host panel mainly displays two values: offering points and life points.
Offering points can be exchanged for cultivation techniques, divine abilities, elixirs, and spiritual treasures in the system shop. Offering points can also be used to bestow blessings upon family members.
As for the Fate Point, it is relatively more complicated. It mainly involves concealing the secrets of heaven, obscuring the world's will, and is also related to one's own fortune and destiny.
The panel is very simple to open.
Host: Shen Xiao (a fragmented ancestral spirit, nearing the end of its lifespan)
Yin lifespan: one year (one point of life force is consumed each year).
Cultivation level: ?
My innate supernatural powers: manifesting divine intervention, bestowing blessings, and rebirth in the Pure Land.
Offering points: 0
Fate Points: 1 (Intercepts and fills gaps in fate, can collect fate points)
Dao Ming: Dao Ming has been lost. If the Qi is leaked, it may be obliterated by the world's will. The host's consciousness contains the Qi of another world, which is rejected and repelled by the world's will. Only by sacrificing 100 Life Points can one completely integrate into this world.
This attribute panel is simple, clear, and easy to understand.
Looking at the system shop, all kinds of cultivation resources are available, but exchanging resources requires a large number of offering points.
Therefore, the most important thing right now is to acquire more offering points.
The ancestral worship ceremony is still ongoing.
As the clan head Shen Shichu led the clansmen in three kneelings and nine kowtows, the ceremony ended, but Shen Xiao's sea of consciousness suddenly trembled.
[The Shen clan has completed its annual ancestral worship ceremony; the host has received 100 offering points.]
[The host is receiving incense offerings for the first time, thus becoming intertwined with the fate of the Shen family and receiving a family blessing gift pack.]
Fortune Gift Pack: One Foundation Building Pill (Tier 2), one Python Spirit Fruit (Tier 2), one Spirit Pearl of Evolution (Tier 1), one Detoxification Pill (Tier 1), and one Qi-Boosting Pill (Tier 1).
The surprise came unexpectedly, something Shen Xiao never anticipated.
The annual family ancestral worship ceremony can earn 100 offering points, which solved the immediate problem.
At least I don't have to be a poor wretch anymore.
Finally, this ancestor of his had a chance to prove himself, and the many good things in the system store opened a crack for him.
More importantly, isn't this family fortune gift package exactly what the Shen family needs right now?
Foundation Establishment Pills are, needless to say, an essential requirement for Qi Refining cultivators.
The Python Spirit Fruit is a second-tier top-grade spiritual medicine for Foundation Establishment cultivators to enhance their cultivation and magical power, and it is also an extremely rare longevity-enhancing spiritual medicine.
Each spiritual fruit can increase lifespan by thirty years, the effect of the second fruit is halved, and the third fruit only increases lifespan by five years. It can also increase the success rate of a cultivator's Foundation Establishment by 20%.
The Divine Pearl of Derivation can deduce all things, fill in the gaps and deficiencies, and elevate one's status to the level of creation.
It can upgrade and deduce existing basic techniques. This particular bead can be used to upgrade techniques below the Profound Rank to the Profound Rank. However, activating this bead requires a large amount of offering points.
The Detoxifying Pill is a detoxifying pill, while the Qi-Boosting Pill is a pill for cultivators in the Qi Refining stage to increase their cultivation and magical power, and to break through minor realms.
Shen Xiao was very satisfied with either one.
At this moment, looking down at his unworthy descendants, he suddenly seemed much more pleasing to the eye.
With three sticks of incense half-burned, Shen Xiao saw a scene from the memories of the family head, Shen Shichu, through the smoke.
Three cultivators of different builds stood in front of the medicinal field, and one of them stepped on a Shen family cultivator and stomped him into the mud.
Not far away, beside the medicinal herb field, lay five farmers lying haphazardly, covered in blood, their fate unknown.
"This is... memory sharing?"
It seems that he is now the ancestral spirit of the Shen clan, connected with the family's fortune, which is quite extraordinary.
As the patriarch continued to burn incense and pray, more details flooded into Shen Xiao's consciousness.
It turned out that the group of people were well-known independent cultivators in Mingzhou, consisting of three people, all of whom were at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
The Bei family, one of the three great immortal cultivation families of Beipan Mountain, offered these three people a great deal of money to come and investigate.
Not to mention Shen Shichu, the head of the family, even Shen Zhe, who had just arrived, could see that what the Bei family feared was nothing more than the Shen family's only Foundation Establishment ancestor.
His repeated probing was merely an attempt to use the rogue cultivators to force the Foundation Establishment ancestor of the Shen family to take action.
This time, by presenting a forged spirit contract, they intend to seize the Shen family's most important three acres of second-tier spirit fields, which has already touched upon the Shen family's foundation and assets.
Fortunately, Shen Shichu used a second-tier low-grade spirit talisman, which forced the three of them to retreat.
But everyone knows that this is only temporary peace.
The Bei family will not give up so easily.
Suddenly, an unusual aura emanating from within the ancestral hall caught Shen Xiao's attention.
Among the kneeling disciples, there was a young man at the fourth level of Qi Refining with a bluish face and wisps of black energy swirling around his dantian.
It looks like this kid is going to die soon.
The Shen family fell into decline, and its members were constantly being schemed against, which made even him, the fake ancestor, feel ashamed.
