Chapter 360: The direct line is the direct line

Ancient inscriptions lit up one after another.

Cang Pei then realized that every groove of the inscriptions on the ground had already been soaked with blood.

They took the brightest red flame mark in the central area as the core, radiating outward in all directions, reaching every inch.

After all, the spatial trap set by the Three Pure Mystic Maiden not only sliced Shen Qinghuang inch by inch as he stepped in, but also repeatedly sent his blood into every crevice.

Invisibly, the entire hall was completely lit up!

The dome's 'Starry Sky';

The underground 'Blazing Ground';

The four walls' 'Radiant Walls'.

Together they wove the prosperous scene of the Huaxu lineage at its peak.

At that time, the Huaxu lineage was unprecedentedly strong!

At that time, the Huaxu lineage merged with this bloodline!

At that time, the Huaxu lineage also offered blood sacrifices to the ancestors here!

The ancestral hall that should have been lit up jointly by the entire Huaxu clan is now being lit up together by Shen Qinghuang and Shen Qingli siblings.

The ritual, begins.

Human Ancestor, souls gather.

Ancestor of the Huaxu clan.

Ancestor of the Human Race.

Mother of Fuxi and Nuwa.

Huaxu clan, appearing amidst gathered fire.

"Hum."

All seals restricting Shen Qingli turned to ash and vanished.

No one can seal the Human Ancestor; she is the progenitor of all gods!

All beings born in human form are human, no matter how they claim to be heavenly deities, not mere mortals! In fact, they all originate from humans and are born of humans.

And according to ancient records——

Huaxu ancestral sacrifice.

Human Ancestor manifests soul.

Then, among the descendants of the ancestral sacrifice, those with exceptional talent can inherit the Human Ancestor's legacy.

This record is written in the opening of the He Clan Annals.

The Three Pure Mystic Maiden still remembers the following passage.

"Then, only the Huaxu direct line can open the ancestral sacrifice ritual."

"Our clan has tried three times over hundreds of millions of years, each at the peak of the clan's divine power."

"If not the direct line, then not the direct line."

The annals end here.

This was written by an awakened ancestor of the He clan who possessed the strongest Huaxu bloodline in history.

After him, he forbade descendants from performing blood sacrifices again.

Although he did not continue writing, every He clan member who read the annals could see the reluctance, helplessness, and resignation in his words.

Not the direct line.

They could never overcome that obstacle!

Even the flowing light blood was useless.

But Shen Qingli and Shen Qinghuang could.

Even though the blood had not yet been exhausted, and they were only two people, they managed to open the ancestral soul-summoning inheritance ritual that supposedly required the strength of the entire clan to complete.

"Ha!"

The Three Pure Mystic Maiden has already gone mad.

This is the result that the entire He clan, despite striving for hundreds of millions of years, could not achieve!

Now, it has been opened by two ordinary people from the False God Realm whom they looked down upon.

What Heavenly God clan?

Are they truly superior?

The Huaxu Ancestral Hall, the Shen Qingli siblings, dealt a harsh slap to their theory of superiority.

Born with a divine halo, never touching dust;

Always soaring above, isolated among the nine heavens clouds.

——This has always been the view of the beings of the Three Pure Heaven toward the Heavenly God clan.

In their view, the Heavenly God clan is indeed exalted above all!

Moreover, not only are they superior to humans, they are superior to all beings!

But now, the Three Pure Mystic Maiden discovers that this is not the case……

The Huaxu direct line has no divine halo;

The Huaxu ancestor also does not acknowledge the Heavenly God clan.

"After It appeared, It didn't even glance at her much."

"It only looked at Shen Qingli and Shen Qinghuang, with a kind gaze."

Shen Qingli and Shen Qinghuang also bowed in reverence, "Ancestral God."

The gentle-featured, warm-eyed Huaxu did not respond.

She merely stroked the tops of Shen Qingli and Shen Qinghuang's heads, very gently, very softly.

"I'm back," she said.

That was what a mother says to a child who has gone far away and just returned.

It was as if she had been waiting here all along.

She knew her children had already gone far away.

She had always stayed in the same place, at home, waiting for them to return.

Billions upon billions of years, never changed.

She had always been there.

Always waiting.

"……"

Shen Qingli suddenly burst into tears.

Shen Qinghuang was the same.

"Just coming back is enough."

But she said, without blame, only heartache.

Shen Qingli faintly heard something, but many more images had already flooded her mind at this moment.

This time, it was indeed an inheritance.

The inheritance of the Huaxu lineage.

She had it.

Shen Qinghuang also had it.

However, the Human Ancestor who gave the inheritance quickly faded, leaving only an outline formed of mist and vapor, no longer distinct.

It was obvious that "He" was about to dissipate.

At least, in the eyes of the Three Pure Mystic Lady, that was the case.

"Ancestral God!"

"And me!"

The Three Pure Mystic Lady hurriedly knelt and bowed!

Since she had come, she also counted as a descendant of Huaxu!

It makes no sense that Shen Qingli and they have it, but she doesn't, right?

But she doesn't even think about what she just did to the true descendants of the Huaxu lineage.

What spring-and-autumn grand dream is she still having now!

The Human Ancestor naturally paid her no heed.

It vanished straight away.

However.

A door.

It opened out of nowhere.

Inside the Huaxu Palace, on the wall.

There was no mechanism; only the Human Ancestor could trigger it!

"Go!"

Cang Pei suddenly spoke out.

He really is quite clever.

He directly grabbed the Three Pure Mystic Lady and flashed into the door!

He knew very well that the inside was absolutely the deepest-hidden part of the Huaxu clan's treasures!

Probably a part that even the He clan had never opened, surely containing many more, even more extraordinary treasures!

He actually hadn't guessed wrong; at least the Three Pure Mystic Lady didn't know there was still this door.

Shen Qinghuang also hadn't known before, so he also grew anxious, "No way!"

Before his words even fell, he was about to chase after them!

But Shen Qingli grabbed his wrist.

The next moment—

"Bang!"

Cang Pei and the Three Pure Mystic Lady slammed straight into the entrance.

They simply couldn't enter, as if an invisible door blocked them.

Shen Qingli's face showed understanding: "What damn thing, also wants to enter our home?"

Over all these years, only she and her older brother could open this door—could it be that just anyone could waltz in?

"Exactly." Shen Qinghuang also realized, this door was originally opened just for the two siblings; outsiders, non-family, cannot enter.

"On what basis?" the Three Pure Mystic Lady refused to accept, "I am also a Huaxu clansperson! We, the He clan, have generation after generation been the Huaxu's grave keepers—on what basis can we not enter?"

"You also said, you are grave keepers." Shen Qinghuang sneered, "I told you to guard the graves, not to rob them yourselves!"

"I—" the Three Pure Mystic Lady still wanted to shout arrogantly!

Shen Qingli had already unleashed the Supreme Unity Divine Sword, and this time, on its blade, not only was it surrounded by Primordial Chaos Purple Qi, but also the Huaxu Source Fire that made even the Three Pure Mystic Lady's heart tremble.

Only then did the Three Pure Mystic Lady realize—

Shen Qingli was going to kill her! She could kill her!

"You can't kill me!"

The Three Pure Mystic Maiden was about to warn!

Shen Qingli's sword had already swept across!

The target was Cang Pei.

Compared to Cang Pei, the Three Pure Mystic Maiden didn't provoke Shen Qingli's disgust as much.

But Cang Pei obviously had self-awareness; in that instant, he actually pulled the Three Pure Mystic Maiden in front of him! He took the sword for him...

The Three Pure Mystic Maiden didn't even have time to react!

She was just pulled to Cang Pei's side.

"Chi!"

The sword passed, flesh split, blood spurted out.
