Chapter 135: Pei Jianshu Recognizes Di Jin's True Form

Are the five older brothers born around the same time? Di Jin asked.

"Yes." Shen Qingmo actually had an impression, and proactively asked, "But is there a problem?"

"No problem." Di Jin narrowed his long eyes slightly, "Good thing, sister, the Ancestor Phoenix may have already sensed the danger and made preparations."

Shen Qingli nodded, she also noticed the subtlety; after the breaths of her five older brothers subtly merged, an illusion of the Ancestor Phoenix actually appeared! This is absolutely not coincidental.

Thinking again about the inside of the ancestral land, those densely packed black vines are obviously not accomplished in a day; they must be the result of long-term erosion.

"What does that mean?" Everyone didn't understand.

Shen Jing's white eyebrows even twitched slightly, "Did something happen to the Ancestor Phoenix?"

Shen Qingli nodded solemnly, recounting in detail everything she had seen in the ancestral land.

The atmosphere on site once became very solemn; they never expected that inside the ancestral land, they would actually encounter such destruction!

"Can it be cleared?" Shen Jing said hoarsely, after all it's the ancestral land; the Ancestor Phoenix has left, which counts as freeing itself from restraints, he could still convince himself, but the ancestral land…

Has the foundation of the Longwater Shen Clan thus been lost?

Even an old monster like Shen Jing is at a loss; where should the Shen Clan go from now on?

"It's very difficult." Di Jin said, "It's not that it's hard to deal with, but hard to eradicate; this thing cannot be completely killed, only sealed."

"Does that mean we are the last generation able to enter the ancestral land?" Shen Qingci asked sadly, "Will we have no ancestral land from now on?"

"This manor has always been our ancestral land." Shen Qingli said, "Moreover, after the five older brothers awaken, perhaps our Shen Clan will have another turning point."

With the Ancestor Phoenix's layout in place, she needn't worry about limiting the brothers' upper limit.

"A turning point, us?" Shen Qing Shan and the others were all quite bewildered.

As a nobody in the clan, when had they ever been entrusted with such high expectations?

Of course, they were actually quite happy, unburdened by pressure and free and easy.

"Yes." Shen Qingli didn't say more, having already withdrawn her breath to separate the Five-line Phoenix Immortals' inheritance from within herself.

With her current bloodline and Dao essence, doing this was very easy; even Shen Jing, upon seeing it, exclaimed in amazement!

It's only been seven or eight days since we last saw her, how does it feel that Little A Li has made considerable progress again?

Upon closer look! She really has progressed.

"A Li, you've reached the Profound Emperor!"

Shen Jing's astonishment wasn't just that Shen Qingli had advanced, but that he hadn't noticed it right away.

Because surrounding Shen Qingli's person is a layer of profound Dao essence that Shen Jing would completely fail to notice unless he sensed it carefully.

"Profound Emperor?" The surroundings let out a chorus of wails.

Shen Qingci was almost in tears, he'd still been surpassed! And by a lot!

"Five older brothers, calm yourselves." Shen Qingli's attention was entirely on the five individuals of Shen Qing Shan.

They also quickly adjusted their condition, preparing to accept this turning point of fate.

The Five-line Phoenix Immortals' inheritance was then unleashed by Shen Qingli, and then—

Screech!

Five phoenixes cry in unison!

They also turned their heads to glance at Shen Qingli, seeming reluctant.

But they also clearly understood that this person was already beyond their worth.

However, being able to accompany them for a stretch was also not bad.

In the future, her achievements need not be measured against them, but they indeed contributed to her growth.

In fact, from the moment they chose her, they had already sensed that she possessed a powerful divine breath within her.

Of course, they also discovered that she was injured, her innate divine bone had been tampered with, and during these days inside her body, they had been helping her expel foreign energies; now…

Their destination has arrived; they too should depart.

"You……"

Shen Qingli only now sensed the "thoughts" of the Five-line Phoenix Immortals.

Suddenly she understood, her choice was correct; they, like the Ancestor Phoenix, had all along been warming her.

"Thank you." Shen Qingli expressed her gratitude.

Just as the five phoenixes themselves know where their destination lies.

Shen Qingli also sensed the subtle resonance between the Five-line Phoenix Immortals and the Ancestor Phoenix.

This is the best arrangement, and also the best encounter.

Screech!

The Five-line Phoenix Immortals each chose a new inheritor.

Shen Qingci suddenly thought of a question, "Isn't the ancestral land supposed to be opening? Is there still time?"

"There's still time." Di Jin explained, "After the inheritance enters the body, it doesn't awaken immediately; A Li wants them to enter the ancestral land to harmonize with the Five-line Phoenix Immortals' inheritance, perhaps allowing them to fully comprehend it directly inside."

"No, little brother-in-law, I find you know quite a lot." Shen Qingci said with a face full of curiosity.

Di Jin really liked that title, "Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the sister?"

"Great! You really know how to chat." Shen Qingci declared, he really liked this brother-in-law.

As Di Jin said, after the five individuals of Shen Qing Shan each received the Five-line Phoenix Immortals' inheritance, they opened their eyes in succession within less than an hour.

And at this moment—

Buzz!

The golden bronze door emitted a trembling sound.

It's about to open!

Shen Kuo immediately sent a message to Shen Yuan.

Not long after, Liu Meng and the other two, as well as the younger juniors of other factions, were all brought over.

As for the elders who accompanied them, they were waiting outside, but they could all see the scene here through the already-opened giant screen.

As the golden bronze doors opened, golden light spread out like flowing clouds covering the ground, extending toward the juniors present.

Many of the strong ones standing before the giant screen felt their hearts tighten; they all knew this was the Shen clan's ancestral land verifying those who entered.

If one lacked qualification, even if already sent to the door, they would be turned away.

For example, Pei Jianshu was rejected.

Pei Jianshu was not surprised; he merely wanted to try, to enter the Shen clan's ancestral land together with Shen Qingli—but—

When he saw the golden light of the Shen clan's ancestral land enveloping Di Jin, his clear eyes instantly sharpened: "Di Jin, you cannot, nor should you go in. With your cultivation, you might cause the Shen clan's ancestral land to collapse."

"What nonsense?" Shen Qingli said displeasedly, "As the main house of the Shen clan, we haven't said anything—why are you spouting nonsense?"

"A Li..." Pei Jianshu wore a hurt expression, asking himself, he had done everything for Shen Qingli's good, so why did she not appreciate it at all?

"Put away that gloomy look!" Di Jin showed no indulgence, "When you bullied my sister, did you ever think she would feel upset? Now you put on an expression as if my sister is the unfaithful one—who are you putting it on for?"

"Enough."

Shen Qingli, annoyed with Pei Jianshu, had already grabbed Di Jin's hand.

"No need to waste words on him; he's someone who won't wake from his self-deception."

"Okay." Di Jin obeyed; he listened to his sister the most.

If Jiu Li were here, I'd guess he'd roll his eyes all the way to the back of his head!

Not long after, the golden light trembled; those chosen by the golden light immediately followed the golden radiance into the golden bronze doors.

Those not chosen, besides Pei Jianshu, actually included many others—some branch lines of the Shen clan and some who were too young—were not selected.

As soon as the crowd entered, the doors closed with a hum.

But a voice transmission pierced Shen Qingli's ear: "Three immortal envoys of the Xuanwu Palace are on their way to your Shen clan; among them is an ancestor of the Su Nv Palace, who intends to destroy the Changshui Shen clan to collect a debt for the Su Nv Sect."

Shen Qingli's divine sense stirred, locking onto Liu Xiaoxiao! Yet she didn't even glance at Shen Qingli, instead walking straight ahead as if the voice transmission weren't from her.

Shen Qingli's divine sense twitched, locking onto Liu Xiaoxiao! Yet she didn't even look at Shen Qingli, striding straight ahead as if the one who sent the voice transmission weren't her.
