In this mountain range, there is an ancient mansion.

Inside the ancient mansion, there is a Divine Stone.

The Clan Leaders of Feng Xiqing and the Twelve Great Families walked into this ancient mansion, forming a circle around the Divine Stone.

Soon, Feng Xiqing and the others closed their eyes and began chanting incantations.

Swoosh—

Finally, they sliced open their fingertips, and twelve drops of blood flew out from their fingertips, ultimately merging into the Divine Stone.

Rumble!

As Feng Xiqing and others' blood infused, the Divine Stone suddenly let out a roar.

Immediately afterward, a vortex began to appear in the center of the Divine Stone, within which a vast world could be seen.

The ancestral land is opened!

Seeing the world within the vortex, Feng Xiqing and others, as well as members of the Twelve Great Families, were extremely excited.

They had heard too many legends about the ancestral land.

It is said that this ancestral land is the inheritance left to them by the ancestors of the Twelve Great Families, where their strength will multiply.

It is said that the ancestral land is filled with dangers, designed to prevent outsiders from entering, but likewise, it contains incredible opportunities.

"The ancestral land has opened, everyone, follow us inside!"

"Remember! The ancestral land is fraught with dangers, you must follow instructions and never act recklessly!"

The speaker was Chang Sijing, the Chang Family Master from North Imperial City.

The Twelve Great Families, some are strong, some are weak.

If the Feng Family was driven out, leading to a significant drop in power and status, now ranking at the bottom of the Twelve Families.

Then, the Chang Family could be considered the leader of the Twelve Families.

In North Imperial City, they are at their peak.

Power represents status.

So now that the ancestral land has opened, Chang Sijing has also become the leader of the Twelve Families.

No one dares to question.

"Yes!"

A group of members of the Twelve Families nodded in unison.

Then a group followed Chang Sijing's lead and stepped into the ancestral land.

As they entered the ancestral land, members of the Twelve Families looked around, their eyes filled with curiosity.

The ancestral land opens only once every hundred years, so everyone entering the ancestral land this time is entering for the first time!

"What is this black smoke?"

"Why do I feel like the ancestral land is built upon a Divine Blade, and Sword Intent is flowing through the air!"

"I can smell the fragrance of Spirit Essence, there must be Spirit Essence with extremely high age nearby!"

"What exactly is this place?!"

Many people discussed among themselves.

Perhaps the members of the Twelve Families never dreamed!

That the ancestral land mentioned by their ancestors was actually the Sky Blade Peak of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect!

Likewise, members of the Heavenly Blade Saint Sect would never imagine that their sect's mysterious Sky Blade Peak was the ancestral land of the Twelve Families.

"Hmm?"

"Why do I feel a surge of power in my blood?"

"Powerful! This surge of power is so strong!"

In an instant, members of the Twelve Families were stunned.

At this moment, they could feel the blood flowing within their bodies, as it transformed into Divine Blood, a surge of powerful force that left them in disbelief.

Moments later, a family member who initially had a cultivation at Earth Element Third Layer swung a fist!

Boom!

An explosive sound rang in the air, as if the air had been shattered.

"The power of this punch has at least reached the Heavenly Origin Realm!!!"

The person looked incredulously at their fist, seemingly dumbfounded.

At the same time.

Others also felt the power within their bodies, their eyes full of disbelief!

They already knew that upon entering the ancestral land, their strength would multiply.

But who could have imagined such multiplication?

The improvement in cultivation spanned over six or seven realms!

This is simply unimaginable!

"Our ancestors are so powerful!"

Even Chang Sijing, a monster at his level, stood still for a long moment before expressing his admiration.

His previous cultivation was only at the early stage of the Primordial Flower Realm.

And now, his cultivation has reached the peak of the Primordial Flower Realm!

Such power is now hidden within him, something he could never have imagined even in dreams.

Although this may only be temporary.

But, as a Martial Artist, isn't their lifelong pursuit to possess immense strength?

Even if it's temporary, it is more than satisfying!

"Chang Family Master, now that the strength of our respective families has increased so much, and the ancestral land is vast, why not let us each explore separately?"

"After all, the time the ancestral land remains open is limited!"

At this point, Cheng Hangkong, the Cheng Family Patriarch from South Imperial City, made a request.

Initially, before entering the ancestral land, the Twelve Great Families had agreed to explore together, so that if danger arose, they could respond promptly.

But now.

With each of their strengths increased tremendously, it naturally sparked personal interests!

Though numbers provide safety, they also mean less spoil!

"What do you all think?"

Cheng Hangkong looked to the other family heads.

Cheng Hangkong knew very well, if he followed Chang Sijing, his gains would be very limited.

"I think it's feasible."

A family head nodded.

"Then let us act separately."

"But remember, our Twelve Great Families form an alliance, do not engage in conflict with each other."

"Also, if we see any of our Twelve Families' members in danger, we must help immediately!" Chang Sijing said.

"Alright!"

Chang Sijing's words immediately received agreement from the members of the Twelve Families.

Subsequently, members of the Twelve Families formed their own groups from different locations, beginning to explore the ancestral land.

...

Heavenly Blade Saint Sect.

Qin Chen followed Yu TianQee into the Black Mysterious Smoke within Sky Blade Peak, without concealing their tracks along the way.

Moreover, they were chatting and laughing along the route, like longtime friends, making Su Yun, Li Linfeng, and others feel quite peculiar.

In no time, Qin Chen's group arrived at Sky Blade Peak.

Every member of Qin Chen's group was noteworthy.

Let alone the entire group.

At this moment, numerous gazes on Sky Blade Peak turned towards them.

Seeing Qin Chen and Yu TianQee chatting and laughing, many people were taken aback, and some even rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things.

"What exactly is going on?" Someone asked confusedly.

Regarding others' gazes and remarks, Yu TianQee and Qin Chen didn't mind.

Upon arriving at Sky Blade Peak, Qin Chen's group stepped into the Black Mysterious Smoke.

Qin Chen immediately had a sense of déjà vu from Demon Peak's Black Mysterious Smoke.

However, the Black Mysterious Smoke on Sky Blade Peak was much fainter, and visibility was relatively clearer.

Meanwhile, Qin Chen also sensed several familiar dangerous auras.

Noting this, Qin Chen's lips subtly curled up.

"Let me clear the path for Senior Brother."

Then, Qin Chen earnestly spoke to Yu TianQee.
