Transform into ancestral tablets and create a supreme immortal clan.

It is quite simple to improve the spiritual quality of family members through the power of blessing.

However, it would be very difficult to bestow other spiritual attributes upon them.

It's not that they can't give it, but that their own mortal bodies simply can't bear it.

This is equivalent to undergoing a complete physical transformation, like having a bone marrow transplanted and the body reshaped.

If one is not careful, the foundation will be destroyed, and even the soul, which is closely connected to the physical body, may be severely damaged.

This is the natural barrier set up by the rules of Heaven, the difference between immortals and mortals.

Of course, it's not that it's absolutely impossible, but rather that Shen Xiao can't do it right now.

This is fundamentally different from Shen Xiao's situation where the system directly reshaped his soul and body.

Even so, Shen Xiao is currently unable to add any more spiritual root attributes to himself.

Otherwise, it would be equivalent to breaking the balance and reshaping the physical body.

Although Shen Xiaozhe cannot yet grant mortals spiritual roots, improving the quality of spiritual roots in the younger generation of his clan is quite simple.

Therefore, in the time that followed, he thought of using Shen Mubai's matter to plant a seed for improving the spiritual root quality of the family's disciples.

Shen Xiao didn't need to say anything; Shen Shichu, that old fox, would naturally have thought of this.

However, Shen Xiao will not do this again before Shen Jiuyang forms his Golden Core.

Because the Shen family is now unable to retain disciples with exceptionally high aptitude.

As the blessing descended, the spiritual light surrounding Shen Mubai rapidly intensified.

A layer of misty, clear light spread out, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged rapidly.

Five-colored light appeared and disappeared, and Shen Mubai's physical body showed small vortexes of spiritual energy.

It took a full fifteen minutes for things to calm down.

"How does it feel?"

"This disciple feels that the world is clear and bright, and the continuous flow of the five elements spiritual energy is enveloping this disciple."

It felt as if I were in an ocean of spiritual energy.

"Could this be the legendary Heavenly Spiritual Root?"

Shen Zhexiao remained noncommittal. The top-grade spiritual root bestowed by the system was far superior to the so-called "heavenly spiritual root" in the cultivation world.

Those so-called "heavenly spiritual roots" are actually spiritual roots with a single attribute. In essence, they do not increase the overall affinity for spiritual energy.

What truly determines one's cultivation aptitude is still the quality of their hidden spiritual root.

Therefore, even among "Heavenly Spiritual Roots," there are differences in quality, and their cultivation aptitudes are not the same.

Shen Xiao did not prepare a detailed explanation, but slowly said, "For the time being, you should focus on your cultivation in the valley."

"After your cultivation level improves, I have important matters to assign you."

……

Outside the Shen family's territory.

An elderly man in brown robes stood suspended in mid-air.

"Gu Hanjiang from Tianquan Peak of Qixing Mountain has come to pay his respects today. Head of the Shen family, please come out and meet me immediately."

Inside the Shen family council hall, the expressions of several elders changed instantly, and a few cold glints flashed in their eyes.

"Where does this old man get his confidence? He really doesn't respect the Shen family at all."

The patriarch, Shen Shichu, abandoned his respectful and gentle demeanor in front of Shen Zhe, his eyes now filled with a sharp killing intent.

"Ancestor Jiuyang is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Golden Core stage, and cannot be disturbed."

Since this old bastard has come so eagerly to be humiliated, I will grant his wish.

In recent days, the Shen family's resources have increased dramatically, and they have exchanged so many good things with their ancestor Shen Xiao.

Among them, Shen Shichu, as the head of the family, has the most resources and has exchanged for the most good items.

Now, he not only has two top-grade spiritual artifacts, one for offense and one for defense, but also a high-grade talisman called "Spirit Binding Rope".

His cultivation level at the early stage of Foundation Establishment was ultimately too low, and his magical power was not strong enough.

Therefore, when exchanging for talismans, I abandoned attack and defense talismans that consume a lot of mana.

Instead, they chose the "Spirit Binding Rope," which consumed the least amount of mana but maximized the effect of "trapping."

With just a small amount of magic power, one can activate the Binding Rope to trap the enemy.

In this way, wouldn't the other party's life or death be entirely in one's own hands?

The protective array opened a portal, and Shen Shichu's figure floated out, also standing in mid-air.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Gu Hanjiang frowned slightly, clearly annoyed.

The person in front of me is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and it seems that he has only recently broken through.

They were simply not good enough for Gu Hanjiang.

Therefore, his gaze toward Shen Shichu was filled with arrogance and disdain.

"Who are you? Where is Shen Jiuyang? Why won't she come out to see me?"

"I am Shen Shichu, the head of the Shen family."

"Shen Shichu? Is the Shen family truly devoid of talent? Sending a mere Foundation Establishment stage cultivator like you to greet guests?" Gu Hanjiang's voice was indifferent, carrying undisguised contempt.

"You're not qualified to let Shen Jiuyang speak."

Shen Shichu remained calm, showing no anger whatsoever, and simply said, "Ancestor Jiuyang is currently in seclusion and will not receive any guests."

"If Fellow Daoist Gu has only come to pay a visit, I, Shen, am more than willing to accompany you. But if you have ulterior motives..."

He changed the subject, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "I'm afraid you'll leave disappointed today."

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanjiang was so angry that he laughed: "What arrogance! A mere early Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to put on airs in front of me?"

It seems the Shen family has truly gotten some good fortune and forgotten their own limitations!

Today, I, on behalf of your elders, will teach you the principles of respect and hierarchy!

Before he finished speaking, Gu Hanjiang's aura suddenly erupted, and the powerful pressure of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator crashed down like a mountain.

He raised his right hand, and light condensed in his palm, instantly transforming into a blazing giant hand of fire, carrying the intense heat of burning gold and melting iron, and slammed down on Shen Shichu!

Gu Hanjiang was nearly two hundred years older than Shen Shichu, so he treated Shen Shichu as a junior from beginning to end.

His arrogance was all cultivated in Seven Star Mountain.

Moreover, Shen Shichu's cultivation level is indeed far inferior to his.

"Blazing Palm! Kneel before me!"

This palm strike was incredibly powerful, clearly intended to establish authority with a single blow and severely humiliate the Shen family.

However, facing this fierce attack, Shen Shichu neither dodged nor avoided it, but only curled up a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Just as the giant fiery hand was about to strike, he flicked his sleeve, and an inconspicuous pale golden rope shot out like a serpent.

The rope, though seemingly thin, ignored the raging flames and moved with unimaginable speed, tracing a mysterious trajectory in the air. Surprisingly, it arrived first and instantly wrapped around Gu Hanjiang's outstretched wrist!

"Hmm?" Gu Hanjiang's expression changed slightly, and he felt his wrist tighten.

A strange power instantly penetrated his body, forcefully blocking and binding the surging magical power in his meridians!

The massive, fiery palm, its power interrupted, trembled violently in mid-air before collapsing and dissipating into countless sparks.

"What the hell is this thing?!" Gu Hanjiang was terrified and hurriedly tried to break free by activating his magic power.

But the pale golden rope tightened more and more, its binding force strangely powerful. It not only locked his wrists but also spread along with his magical power, attempting to imprison all the spiritual energy in his body.

His immense magical power, honed to the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, was now like a beast trapped in a quagmire, possessing power yet unable to utilize it effectively.

"Fellow Daoist, it would be best to remain calm." Shen Shichu's voice remained calm as he strode through the air, approaching step by step, his hand seals subtly changing.

The Binding Spirit Rope flashed and split into several illusory figures, instantly binding Gu Hanjiang tightly from head to toe.

Even his mouth was sealed by a golden light, and he could only make "woo-woo" sounds, his eyes filled with shock, anger and disbelief.
