Zhang Ruochen stood in front of the ancient tomb, his mind fluctuating violently, and it was difficult to calm down. If the guess was true, the Zhang family would have been so prosperous in the past.
It's a pity that there is a gap in the history of the Zhang family. Many things before the Middle Ages are no longer known. Even the Zhang family had a god called Lord Jie in the Middle Ages, which has long been forgotten. He was still mentioned by the moon god.
Only then did Zhang Ruochen find out.
"Sure enough, it is exactly the same as the description of the ancestral land in the ancient books. Only after the death of the great sage can he be buried in the ancestral land. This is a supreme honor for every Zhang clan member." Zhang Ruochen whispered.
.
The ancestor of the Zhang family is the Great Lord Fudomyo. This is a legendary figure. He is so ancient that even the Moon God has never seen it. Therefore, the inheritance of the Zhang family is at least millions of years old.
.
With the superior cultivation environment before the Middle Ages, the number of great saints that could be born over millions of years and accumulated from generation to generation would undoubtedly be astonishing.
However, there is only half of the ancestral genealogy, and the recorded time is from the end of the Middle Ages. The number of great sage ancestors that can be seen in it is less than a hundred.
If the first half of the ancestral genealogy could be retrieved, all the mysteries would undoubtedly be easily solved.
They were two people in two lifetimes, and they belong to the same Zhang family. Is it a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement?
Zhang Ruochen climbed to a higher position and looked at the entire tomb forest, staring at the deepest part of the tomb forest.
However, there is extremely powerful power there. Even if he uses the Eye of Divine Seal, he cannot see through it and know where exactly this tomb forest extends?
Just when Zhang Ruochen was about to give up, there was a sudden change in his bloodline, and the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra" started to operate on its own, and an inexplicable aura enveloped him and shook his mind.
Zhang Ruochen's body was shaken violently, and his soul seemed to be pulled out of his body. In a trance, he came to a mysterious land of chaos, where rich chaotic energy surged.
An extremely majestic tomb appeared before his eyes. The rules of chaos and the divine light of chaos flowed slowly over the tomb like water, giving people an extremely sacred feeling.
Facing this large tomb, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but had the idea of paying homage to it.
Above the tomb, the space was violently distorted, and the twenty-seventh floor of the majestic sky was vaguely presented, giving people a feeling that was both real and dreamy. It was unclear whether it was a real existence or just a vision.
.
And above the twenty-seventh level of the sky, there sat an extremely majestic figure, surrounded by many stars, like the center of the galaxy in the universe.
Zhang Ruochen tried hard to see the figure clearly, but he couldn't see it clearly. In the end, all he could see was chaos.
Just when Zhang Ruochen felt extremely shocked, his mind suddenly returned. Whether it was the tomb, the twenty-seventh level of the sky, or the majestic figure, they all disappeared without a trace, as if they were in a dream.
Zhang Ruochen stood in mid-air, unable to recover for a long time. What he just saw had a huge impact on him.
"Is there really such a big tomb deep in the tomb forest? Who does it belong to? Why will my bloodline be greatly affected?" Zhang Ruochen whispered to himself.
Involuntarily, Zhang Ruochen opened the eyes between his brows with all his strength, wanting to take a closer look.
But no matter how he tried, it was to no avail. An invisible mysterious force blocked his prying eyes.
The moment he had no choice but to look away, Zhang Ruochen suddenly made other discoveries.
On the top of the tomb in front of him, there was a strange fruit the size of a fist. Countless rules of the Great Sage were intertwined on it, blooming with a bright immortal brilliance.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes changed slightly, and he suddenly thought of something: "Could it be the legendary... Great Sage Dao Fruit!"
Zhang Ruochen had only seen rare treasures like the Great Holy Fruit in ancient books, but had never actually seen one.
According to records in ancient books, after the death of the Great Sage, he was buried in a special place. After at least ten thousand years, the essence of the Great Sage and the rules of the Holy Way were condensed into a fruit, which is the Fruit of the Great Sage.
According to rumors, if you eat a Great Sage Fruit, you can obtain the inheritance of that Great Sage and some of the rules of the Holy Way. It is very possible to cultivate to the realm of the Great Sage.
"Yes, this is the Great Sage Dao Fruit." A voice suddenly sounded.
Zhang Ruochen was slightly shocked. At some point, the mysterious old man had already arrived beside him, but he didn't notice it at all.
If the other party wants to harm him, he will undoubtedly be in great danger.
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyebrows, glanced at the old man, and said, "I didn't expect you to come in."
"This is the ancestral home of the Zhang family. I am a member of the Zhang family, so of course you can come in." The old man looked matter-of-fact, and his expression was quite arrogant, as if he was a member of the Zhang family, so he looked very impressive.
If Zhang Ruochen were not a descendant of the Zhang family, I might not be able to help but slap him.
After a pause, the old man continued: "Zhang Ruochen, do you believe what I said now? The Zhang family in the Central Region also came out of here, and their roots are here."
Zhang Ruochen had to admit that what the old man said was the truth. After all, he had seen with his own eyes the graves of the great sage ancestors recorded in the ancestral genealogy.
The names of the great saints buried in several adjacent tombs can be found in the ancestral genealogy.
"Why did the Zhang family in the Central Region lose contact with their ancestral land? And why don't we, the Zhang family in Yunwu County, know about the existence of our ancestral land?" Zhang Ruochen asked seriously.
Although he already believed that this was the legendary ancestral land of the Zhang family, he still had many questions in his heart that needed someone to answer.
The old man put his hands behind his back and said in a rather heavy tone: "The Zhang family was unable to escape the catastrophe at the end of the Middle Ages. That battle was too cruel. Almost all the strong men of the Zhang family died and their vitality was severely damaged.
Everything about the ancestral land has become a legend."
"According to the rules of the Zhang family, only the great saint can be buried in the ancestral land after his death. If you want to know the location of the ancestral land, you must be a top holy king. Only in this way can you better protect the secrets of the ancestral land.
"
"The Zhang family of Yunwu County should belong to the lineage that protects the ancestral land. Perhaps because of the sparse population, the inheritance was interrupted, but they finally remembered the importance of this place and never left."
In fact, the ancestors of the royal family of Yunwu County were responsible for guarding the mausoleum.
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. He had actually roughly guessed that these things should be related to the great calamity at the end of the Middle Ages. After all, according to the Moon God, the Master of the Zhang family died in that battle.
, logically speaking, it should be buried in this ancestral land.
The Zhang family in the Central Region is relatively lucky. Although it has experienced many hardships, it has risen again in recent times and established the Shengming Central Empire. Counting Zhang Ruochen's father, a total of ten powerful men in the Great Saint realm have been born.
Unfortunately, an accident eight hundred years ago almost destroyed Shengming's foundation, and the Zhang family was almost destroyed.
"The Zhang family can no longer remain silent. We must regain our former glory. Zhang Ruochen, as a descendant of the Zhang family, you must shoulder this important responsibility." The old man suddenly said seriously.
Zhang Ruochen was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said: "Of course I also want the Zhang family to rise again, but this is not easy."
"Why is it not easy? Zhang Ruochen, your bloodline is strong, and the descendants you reproduce will definitely be great among men. Coupled with the Great Sage Dao Fruit, it will not be difficult to give birth to a group of Great Sages." The old man glared.
"Zhang Ruochen, as one of the few men in the Zhang family, why are you so ignorant? The nearly a hundred female saints around you are all as beautiful as flowers, and their cultivation levels are not low. If you combine with them, what will happen to your life?
The bloodline of my descendants will definitely be very strong, and their looks will not be bad either."
"There is also the girl transformed from Teru Shenlian whom we met last time. If you and her produce offspring, they will not only be beautiful, but they will also be extremely talented. It is impossible to say that they will be even better than you."
"As long as you find more of these powerful women to combine with each other and produce a large number of good-looking and talented offspring, why should the Zhang family not be able to rise again?"
"I kindly refined the medicinal powder and wanted to help you, but you are so ungrateful. Are you a man? Do you want to piss me off to death?"
The old man kept scolding Zhang Ruochen, looking like he hated the iron.
Zhang Ruochen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Your cultivation level is higher than mine, and your bloodline must be stronger. You are more suitable to do this than me."
Hearing this, the old man immediately blew his beard and glared, saying: "If I can, do you still need me?"
It was obvious that the old man was really angry with Zhang Ruochen, and he really wanted to beat Zhang Ruochen severely.
"What's the meaning?"
Zhang Ruochen stared at the old man's lower body with strange eyes. It was unimaginable that such a powerful man could... no.
"Where are you looking? What are you thinking about?"
The old man roared angrily, then stretched out his right hand, and a cloud of gray-white mist appeared in the palm of his hand.
He waved his palm gently, and where the gray-white mist drifted, the vegetation instantly withered, and the strong death air spread over dozens of miles.
"Why is there such a strong evil spirit of death in you?" Zhang Ruochen quickly released the holy energy to resist the erosion of the evil spirit of death.
The old man sighed and said: "I think back then, I fought with several ruthless characters from the dead clan in hell for three months in the starry sky, until the stars were annihilated and the sun and the moon lost their light. Unfortunately, in the end, they were defeated by their death thoughts.
He was hit and almost died. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to survive again, but it's a pity that even after a hundred thousand years, I couldn't completely resolve the evil aura of death."
Zhang Ruochen immediately understood that it was probably because of the evil spirit of death in his body that the old man could not reproduce.
Very good!
Otherwise, in order to revitalize the Zhang family, this old guy might rely on his unknown medicinal powder, use despicable and dirty methods, and righteously pervert Wangshan. That would be a headache for Zhang Ruochen.
Ignoring the old man, Zhang Ruochen turned his attention to the tombs. He found that many of the tombs had the Fruit of the Great Sage, but not every one had it.
It seems that these tombs did not contain the fruit of the Great Sage, but that they had been harvested by others.
Since they know the efficacy of the Great Sage Dao Fruit, historically, the seniors of the Zhang family will definitely take advantage of it.
It cannot be said that many of these great sages have eaten the fruit of the great sage.
With a movement of his body, Zhang Ruochen slowly approached the tomb, wanting to pick off the Great Sage Fruit on top of it.
Although he encountered great obstacles, he still came close smoothly, and the Great Sage's Dao Fruit was within reach.
Just when Zhang Ruochen was about to pick it, the old man stopped him and said, "Don't pick the Great Sage Fruit at will."
"Why?" Zhang Ruochen asked curiously.
The old man said: "After picking the Great Sage Fruit, you need to eat it immediately, and preferably in front of the Great Sage's Tomb. Only in this way can the essence of the Great Sage Fruit be completely absorbed and refined, and you can hope to cultivate to the realm of the Great Sage."
"The tombs and tombstones you see are all precious places for enlightenment and cultivation. If you practice here for a period of time first, and then eat the Great Sage Fruit, you will get the best results."
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen immediately gave up the idea of picking it up. The Great Sage Fruit is so precious that it cannot be wasted.
He now fully understands the significance of the ancestral land to the Zhang family. As long as the ancestral land exists, no matter what kind of disaster the Zhang family encounters, they will one day rise again.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this test that most of the Great Sage's Dao Fruits were preserved.
If all the Great Sage Dao Fruits could be used, how many Great Sages could be born in the Zhang family? It is simply unimaginable.
"Zhang Ruochen, do you understand what I said? Your most important task at the moment is to continue the family lineage and do your best to reproduce future generations."
"There was once an ancestor of the Zhang family who married three thousand wives, all of them beautiful women, goddesses, saints, goddesses from ancient civilizations, proud daughters of the Dragon, Jiuli and Phoenix tribes, flying in the sky.
, those who run on the ground, those who swim in the water, catch them all in one fell swoop, and reproduce tens of thousands of offspring. That is the example you should follow." The old man said this, staring at Zhang Ruochen with a look of contempt on his face, as if he was talking about himself.
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes, and he instantly thought of the Great Nirvana Emperor in the Guanghan Realm. He did not expect that in terms of reproducing future generations, the Zhang family actually had ancestors who were more powerful than the Great Nirvana Emperor.
However, the Nirvana Emperor is now in his prime and will probably produce many descendants in the future, and it is unlikely that they will surpass the ancestor of the Zhang family.
Looking at the old man's eyes that were about to burst into flames, Zhang Ruochen said: "It is true that there are not many people in the Zhang family in Yunwu County, but there are still many members of the Zhang family in the Central Region who can be allowed to come here to practice. Even if they are not qualified to swallow
Great Sage Daoguo, but with the environment here and the blessing of luck from the ancestors of the Zhang family, their cultivation speed will definitely speed up a lot, and they may also get some unexpected benefits."
Basically, all the Zhang clan members who are still in the Kunlun Realm have been brought into the Qiankun Realm by Zhang Ruochen. The number is not small, but most of them have very weak bloodline, making it difficult to find real geniuses.
"I can't leave Wangshan. You hurry up and gather them all. Even if the quality is poor, it's still better than nothing." The old man immediately urged.
But then, the old man added: "No matter what, you can't shirk your responsibility. Go and overthrow hundreds of beautiful female saints and help our Zhang family spread its branches."
After hearing this, several black lines immediately appeared on Zhang Ruochen's forehead. He really couldn't stand the old man.
"Uh-huh."
Immediately, Zhang Ruochen stepped away and exited this sacred tomb.
At this time, the Blue Sky Holy Dragon had already suppressed the Panlong Vine and started refining it.
Zhang Ruochen did not bother him, but rushed back to the hidden valley and summoned all the Zhang clan members headed by King Mingjiang. There were more than a thousand people in total.
After briefly explaining the situation, Zhang Ruochen led a group of Zhang clan members and rushed towards the tomb forest deep in Wangshan Mountain.
Of course, he only said that there is a treasured land for cultivation, but did not mention the ancestral land of the Zhang family.
In his opinion, it would be better not to tell ordinary Zhang clan members about the Zhang family's ancestral land.
After arriving outside the tomb forest, Zhang Ruochen asked these Zhang clan members to break through the barrier formed by the nine-color divine light.
Although the barrier is strong, even the Great Sage cannot forcefully break through it, but it will not stop people with the blood of the Zhang family.
"Ruochen, are these the tombs of the Great Sage? How come there are hundreds of them?" King Mingjiang's eyes were full of shock.
He himself has entered the royal tomb forest and is no stranger to the tomb of the great sage.
However, his cultivation level is not as good as Zhang Ruochen's, so the number of tombs he can see is naturally much less than Zhang Ruochen's.
The other Zhang clan members can naturally see less. The strange power in the tomb forest will affect their vision and perception.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said: "It is indeed the tomb of the great sage, but it is different from the tomb of the great sage in the royal tomb forest. Sitting cross-legged in front of the tomb and understanding the holy way can get twice the result with half the effort."
After receiving the exact answer, King Mingjiang was even more shocked. Hundreds of great saints were buried in the same place. This was an unimaginable thing.
After being shocked, King Mingjiang stepped forward, and like Zhang Ruochen, entered the tomb forest very easily.
Seeing this, other members of the Zhang clan also took action.
However, their speed is much slower, mainly affected by bloodline strength and cultivation level.
Among these people, only one son of King Mingjiang has reached the Holy King Realm. The others have not even reached the Holy King Realm, so they will naturally face great resistance.
More than a thousand people came here, but in the end, less than 300 people entered the tomb forest, and most of them were blocked from the tomb forest.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ruochen understood the key. It must be that the blood of these people was too thin and they were no longer recognized by their ancestral land.
Zhang Ruochen had no choice but to send them back.
