Transform into ancestral tablets and create a supreme immortal clan.

Knowing that his ancestor possessed the mysterious and extraordinary supernatural power of "self-sacrifice and possession," Shen Shichu was not surprised at all.

After all, Shen Xiao had always given the impression of being incredibly resourceful and unfathomable to the Shen family.

Of course, only Shen Shichu and Shen Muyi know about this at the moment.

After all, such a bizarre supernatural power is completely different from possession.

If this becomes known to outsiders, it could easily lead to trouble.

That's why the two of them were so cautious.

"Place him in the most central secret chamber of the ancestral land, and set up a triple formation of gathering spirit, nourishing essence, and isolating to stabilize his life force first," Shen Xiao quickly instructed.

"He's afflicted by a strange curse, the root of which hasn't been removed, so I can only suppress it for now. I'll deal with it after I've finished dealing with my current matters."

"Yes!" Shen Shichu personally took Nan Junchi and felt the strange stillness and sinister curse power in his body. He was secretly alarmed and dared not be negligent. He immediately led people to make arrangements.

After the two settled Nan Junchi, they went to Shen Xiao's (Nan Shanyu) courtyard to recuperate.

"Ancestor, what about Seven Star Mountain..." Shen Shichu asked with concern.

"Gu Zongyi has become suspicious, so it's not advisable to use the identity of Nanshan Yu for the time being. However, the purpose of this trip has been basically achieved, and the real culprit has surfaced," Shen Xiao said briefly.

"Now the focus should return to the Shen family itself. Shi Chu asked before, how's the gathering of Foundation Establishment Pill materials going?"

Shen Shichu's face lit up with excitement: "I was just about to report to the Ancestor that the Patriarch had collected the last main ingredient, 'Jade Marrow Fungus,' yesterday, along with all the other auxiliary spiritual medicines. They are all ready to be offered to you!"

Having said that, Shen Shichu respectfully presented a storage bag, saying, "Ancestor, all twenty-seven kinds of spiritual herbs needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill are here. Please take a look!"

Shen Xiao scanned the storage bag with his spiritual sense and found it shimmering with spiritual light and emitting a fragrant aroma. It contained the complete materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the materials were of superior age and quality.

It's likely that the Shen family emptied nearly half of their fortune and expended considerable resources and effort to obtain the ingredients for this Foundation Establishment Pill.

Although the actual value of Foundation Establishment Pills is usually only three or four thousand low-grade spirit stones.

In reality, however, it is almost entirely monopolized by the major immortal sects and rarely circulates in the market.

Both the finished products and the raw materials were overpriced by several times.

However, Shen Xiao was determined to accept these things.

To him, these were all offerings.

"Okay!" Shen Xiao praised and took the storage bag.

The system immediately prompted: "A sacrificial item detected: One complete Foundation Establishment Pill material, estimated value: 400 sacrificial points. Convert?"

"Transform!"

As the light shimmered, the storage bag vanished.

Shen Xiao's offering value instantly surged from 177 points to 577 points!

"You are all so filial. At this critical moment for our family, you have worked together with one heart and one mind. I am very pleased." Shen Xiao looked at Shen Shichu, whose face was full of expectation.

"The matter of Foundation Establishment concerns your personal path to enlightenment, as well as the future of the Shen family. Today, I will lend you a helping hand."

A pill the size of a longan, shimmering with seven-colored light, with faint red patterns and radiating powerful spiritual energy, appeared in Shen Xiao's hand. The rich medicinal fragrance invigorated both Shen Shichu and Shen Muyi.

The Foundation Building Pills produced by the system are the finest of the fine.

If the Foundation Establishment Pills in the cultivation world have a 30% success rate in establishing a foundation, then the Foundation Establishment Pills provided by the system can increase that to 50%.

"A top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill!" Shen Shichu's voice trembled with excitement as he accepted the long-awaited elixir with slightly shaking hands.

"Don't rush," Shen Xiao said again. "I will give you this item to help you strengthen your foundation, enhance your meridians, increase your chances of successfully establishing your foundation, and even lay a more solid foundation."

This is the "Spirit Fruit" from the Fortune Gift Pack, with potent medicinal effects, even surpassing the one in the Shen Family Treasury.

The python spirit fruit is crystal clear, with spiritual energy flowing inside. It is shaped like a python and emits a unique fragrance. It is a rare spiritual object of heaven and earth.

Shen Shichu accepted the Python Spirit Fruit, tears welling in his eyes. He knelt down with a thud: "Ancestor's kindness is like giving me a second life! Shichu will certainly live up to Ancestor's expectations, successfully establish my foundation, and bring glory to our family!"

"Go and prepare for seclusion immediately. I have a premonition that there may be some turmoil in the coming days," Shen Xiao instructed.

The hidden dangers on Gu Zongyi's side and the possible counterattack from the Bei family gave him a sense that a storm was brewing.

"Yes!" Shen Shichu solemnly replied.

Shen Shichu immediately took the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Python Spirit Fruit and headed to the secluded cultivation cave that had been prepared deep within the ancestral land.

Shen Xiao then focused on nurturing the physical body of Nanshan Jade and considering how to improve his cultivation level.

A reincarnated body is similar to an external avatar; it is a continuation of the original owner's life and can be cultivated to improve its strength.

It's rare to have a reincarnated body with spiritual roots and a clean background; it will be of great use in the future.

While silently recovering from the slight depletion of his energy reserves to maintain his reincarnated form, he organized his thoughts and planned his next move.

The curse on Nan Junchi must be broken. This requires studying the "Netherworld Curse Codex" or finding a more sophisticated method to break the curse, and it requires a large amount of offerings.

Dealing with Gu Zongyi and the possible masterminds behind him requires even greater strength and trump cards.

Offering value, everything revolves around offering value.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the early warning array surrounding the ancestral land was triggered!

The temporary defensive formation will activate automatically.

It wasn't the people from Gu Zongyi's side as expected, but rather the old rivals of Beipanshan—the Bei family!

After these days of recuperation, the Bei family seems to have caught their breath.

I don't know why they're so eager to come here to die.

Bei Haishi, the head of the Bei family, personally led the team.

Besides his uncle Bei Yixiu, there was also a black-robed old man with a bloody and sinister aura, whose aura had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment!

Behind them were dozens of fierce-looking rogue cultivators, all of whom were at least at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining, including some who had reached the peak of Qi Refining!

With such a lineup, Bei Haishi has clearly spared no expense.

Not only did they unite with another Foundation Establishment cultivator within the clan, but the entire Bei family also mobilized.

They also spent a huge sum of money to bring in a powerful outsider—that black-robed demonic cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Judging from his aura and cultivation methods, he is definitely not a benevolent person; he is very likely an evil cultivator with a notorious reputation in the area.

It seems that Bei Haishi is willing to risk everything to seize the Shen family's business empire.

But if the Shen family has already fallen so low, what could possibly be worth Bei Haishi's utter madness?

Shen Xiao was completely baffled, but doubts began to grow in his heart. He figured that the Shen family must have some secrets that he, the fake ancestor, did not know.

"Shen Jiuyang! Get out here for me!" Bei Haishi's voice boomed like thunder over the Shen family's ancestral land, filled with undisguised killing intent and greed.

"Today is the day your Shen family is destroyed! If you know what's good for you, hand over your family's secret treasury, and perhaps your entire clan will be spared a proper burial!"

Within our ancestral land, the alarm bells continue to ring.

All the Shen family members turned pale as they sensed the three powerful Foundation Establishment auras outside, especially the terrifying pressure of the late Foundation Establishment aura, and a sense of panic arose in their hearts.

The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators are incredibly powerful, which makes them understandably worried.
