Transform into ancestral tablets and create a supreme immortal clan.

Shen Muge walked to the entrance of the mine tunnel, sensing the spiritual energy emanating from it, and pondered in her heart.

The turmoil caused by the dispute over the spirit fox has not yet subsided, and the spiritual stone interests in Yaoshan will likely soon attract the attention of some powerful families.

It might not be easy for the Shen family to digest these resources peacefully.

However, Shen Muge is least afraid of trouble.

He's used to killing people now; it's just murder.

Some even enjoy it.

It seems that the sight of bright red blood always stirs up some kind of passion hidden deep within his soul.

Beipan Mountain, within the territory of the Shen family.

When Shen Shichu heard from his clansmen that the Cao family on the eastern slope had been deserted overnight, he was shocked to learn that the family had vanished.

I was immediately surprised.

For the past four hundred years, the Bei and Cao families have wished they could wipe out the entire Shen family and then take control of the entire Beipan Mountain.

Who could have imagined that things would turn out like this?

It must have been our ancestor undergoing the Golden Core Tribulation that triggered this extraordinary phenomenon.

The Cao family, being so close, were naturally the first to know.

If they didn't leave soon, they feared the Shen family would settle scores later, and they would suffer the same fate as the Bei family.

Now it's better this way; they've been scared out of their wits and have moved away on their own initiative.

Then the entire Beipanshan area will completely belong to the Shen family.

Although the Cao family's territory probably won't have anything of value left behind.

However, those empty cave dwellings and pavilions are still intact and can serve as a residence for the Shen family.

Moreover, the spirit fields within the Cao family's territory represent four hundred years of painstaking effort from the Cao family's ancestors.

This is something that can't be moved.

In this way, it can be considered that the Shen family benefited.

The Cao family relies on cultivating spiritual plants and herbs as the foundation of their family's development, so they must have quite a few spiritual fields.

After thinking for a moment, he summoned the clan elder Shen Shiqian and led several younger members of the clan to take over the Cao family's land as soon as possible.

He even decided to relocate tens of thousands of ordinary people from the Shen clan to that location.

These mortals, lacking spiritual roots, cannot embark on the path of cultivation.

However, having practiced martial arts since childhood, they all possess remarkable martial arts skills.

They are more than capable of handling ordinary family affairs.

Shen Shichu came to pay his respects inside Chuyun Valley.

"Ancestor, I wonder if you have any instructions for summoning me here?"

Shen Xiao tossed several martial arts manuals to him and then slowly said, "These martial arts manuals were collected by Mu Bai from ordinary martial artists in the clan."

After taking a look, I found it quite ingenious!

"And tell me, where did you obtain these martial arts skills?"

Shen Shichu picked them up and saw that they were all martial arts manuals he was familiar with: "Most of the ordinary disciples in the clan practice these techniques, there's nothing special about them."

"The Shifting Stars", "The Bone-Melting Palm", "One-Finger Divine Skill", "The Wedding Dress Divine Skill", "The Bright Jade Skill", and "The Formless Finger of Calamity".

In the eyes of this cultivator, mere mortal martial arts were utterly beneath his notice.

After all, these martial arts techniques are not powerful enough, nor can they grant immortality.

While it has some ingenuity, it's really not worth the effort.

But since his ancestor had asked, he answered seriously.

"It is said that three hundred years ago, within the territory of the Chu Kingdom, there was a mysterious martial arts force called the 'Twelve-Story Tower'."

Many martial arts manuals were passed down from the "Twelve-Story Tower" at that time.

At that time, a martial arts craze swept through the common people of Chu, leading everyone in the country to embrace martial arts.

As the saying goes, "a knight-errant uses his martial arts to break the law," and the State of Chu was plunged into a century of turmoil as a result.

Later, the Chu royal family pacified the world again, and with the support of the four major immortal sects, they established the Wenxian Pavilion to support many independent cultivators.

The head of the Wenxian Pavilion is even directly appointed by the four major immortal sects as a core disciple in the Foundation Establishment stage, and the position is rotated every ten years.

Thus, cultivators were used to suppress the martial arts world of Chu, and all the innate martial arts techniques that had been circulating outside were collected into the royal arsenal.

As a result, innate martial arts skills among the common people of Chu became scarce once again.

After fifty years, the number of innate martial artists has decreased sharply, and the Chu royal family has established the Zhenyu Division to strictly control the major martial arts forces.

Of course, there are still many innate martial arts techniques within the major cultivation families.

After all, a mere mortal royal family has no right to interfere with our cultivation families.

It seems that the root of everything lies in this "twelve-story building".

Previously, Shen Xiao was merely an incomplete ancestral spirit among the spirit tablets, so he had no time to attend to anything else.

But now, he already possesses a divine soul and a physical body, and is already a Golden Core cultivator.

This gave them ample time to investigate the truth of the matter.

After all, his true identity was far too special.

If there really was a time traveler predecessor, where is he now?

Has it been fully accepted by this world?

What is the other party's cheat code?

For Shen Xiao, is he an enemy or a friend?

In his view, how many coincidences are there in this world?

He didn't believe that a world could be smuggled in by transmigrators one after another; there must be some unknown secret behind it.

His intuition told him that this would be important to him.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiao asked again, "Does that 'Twelve-Story Tower' still exist?"

"After being suppressed for nearly two hundred years, they have long since disappeared."

Even if it still exists, it has probably hidden itself away, concealed somewhere unknown.

For the four major immortal sects and the Chu royal family, as long as the world is at peace and the people live in peace and contentment.

A mere江湖 (jianghu) force will not be truly wiped out.

Shen Xiao nodded slightly, then instructed: "From today onwards, have the mortal disciples in the clan pay more attention to these innate martial arts."

Once I find it, I'll give it to you in exchange for cultivation resources.

"I do have some interest in these martial arts techniques."

"Your disciple obeys!"

"By the way, do you know when the next change of leadership for the Immortal Inquiry Pavilion is? And which immortal sect will assign a disciple to it?"

"Reporting to our ancestors, we have two more years until we reach Seven Star Mountain."

Disciples of immortal sects at the Foundation Establishment stage can accept the task of overseeing the Immortal Inquiry Pavilion from the General Affairs Hall.

"Two years..."

That will be soon!

Shen Xiao murmured softly, already having made up his mind.

At this time, wouldn't the reincarnated body of "Nanshan Jade" come in handy?

The royal armory of the Chu Kingdom probably contains a considerable number of innate martial arts techniques.

Shen Xiao possesses a Xuan-rank Derivation Spirit Pearl. This extraordinary treasure can deduce and upgrade all innate martial arts and cultivation techniques to the Xuan-rank top grade, transforming them into cultivation techniques that retain the original martial arts characteristics.

It can be used to fill the Shen family's library.

Moreover, he himself was about to choose his main cultivation method.

Although the system shop has a huge number of cultivation techniques, those of the highest grade Xuan level or above require at least 3000 offerings.

Shen Xiao didn't want to waste his money.

In the major markets, one can only buy cultivation techniques of the highest grade of Xuan level, which are also quite expensive.

As for the top-grade Xuan-level cultivation techniques, they are all tightly guarded by the four major immortal sects and will never be passed on to outsiders.

After much thought, I decided that using the Derivation Spirit Pearl was more cost-effective.

After all, it only takes 50 offering points to perform the deduction, which is practically free.

In the cultivation world of Southern Chu, most cultivation techniques are of low to mid level and are quite conventional, lacking any distinctive features.

Even with advanced deduction techniques, there isn't much of an advantage.

On the contrary, those innate martial arts left behind by those suspected "previous time travelers" each have their own profound and exquisite aspects, and it may be easier to find a suitable cultivation method.
