148: Chapter 148 My Shen family is now a Void Realm family!

Chapter 148: My Shen Family is also a Void Tempering Clan now!

Just at this moment—

“Little Nine! Little Nine!”

An aged but energetic voice came from outside the courtyard.

Before the voice had even faded, the courtyard gate was pushed open from the outside, and a white-haired old man strode in.

It was precisely the Shen Family's Second Grand-Uncle—Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang.

As soon as Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang entered, his nose twitched violently a few times.

“What is this smell? So fragrant!”

His gaze swept across the courtyard like a hawk, finally landing on the nine exquisite Spirit Cuisines on the stone table, and his whole person instantly froze.

His eyes widened like bronze bells, his mouth gaped open, and the expression on his face was extremely colorful.

“This, this is...”

Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang rushed to the stone table in two or three steps, leaning over the edge of the table, his nose pressing close to that piece of Flood Dragon Meat, taking a deep breath.

A thick wave of Spiritual Qi rose from the meat and was inhaled into his nasal cavity.

Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang trembled all over, a look of extreme comfort appearing on his face, as if he were floating on the clouds.

“nine heavens immortal spirit feast! This is the nine heavens immortal spirit feast!”

His voice was trembling, and a green light like that of a hungry wolf burst from his cloudy old eyes.

“Good stuff! Truly good stuff!”

Shen Qingyuan watched the old man's behavior, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Well, here comes another one looking for a free meal.

“Second Grand-Uncle, why have you come?”

Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang didn't pay him any mind at all. He plopped down on a stone stool, picked up his chopsticks, and stuffed a piece of Flood Dragon Meat into his mouth.

“Mmm! Delicious!”

He picked up a piece of Phoenix Tail Flower.

“Mmm! This is also delicious!”

Then he picked up a piece of Mysterious Turtle Essence.

“Mmm, mmm, mmm! Everything is delicious!”

Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang ate until his mouth was dripping with oil, the wrinkles on his face blooming like flowers. His chopsticks danced rapidly, stuffing piece after piece into his mouth.

Shen Qingyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at this scene.

“Second Grand-Uncle, eat slowly, don't choke.”

Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang waved his hand and said indistinctly, “Don't worry, my old body is in great shape!”

He gulped down a mouthful of tea, smacked his lips, and finally put down his chopsticks, sighing contentedly.

“Comfortable! So comfortable!”

He leaned back against the chair, patted his round belly, his face full of satisfaction.

“Little Nine, your life is just too comfortable. I've been cultivating hard in the ancestral land for so many years, and every time I come out for a look, I see you kid lying in the courtyard, eating Spirit Cuisine!”

Shen Qingyuan was powerless to argue; he didn't usually eat these things.

But thinking carefully, it seemed that every time Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang came, he really was eating.

Hiss—

Could this old man be... specifically picking this time to come?

Shen Qingyuan grumbled inwardly, then said lazily, “Second Grand-Uncle, you didn't come today just to mooch a meal, did you?”

“Of course not!” Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang glared and said seriously, “I have serious business with you.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Old Turtle and Luo Qingyue, then looked at the leftovers on the table and cleared his throat.

“Little Nine, do you know what major events have happened in the Southern Region lately?”

Shen Qingyuan raised an eyebrow: “What major events?”

Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang picked up his teacup and took another sip, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

“The Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence has undergone a massive change!”

He put down the teacup, his tone carrying a bit of emotion: “In just these few days, the Spiritual Qi concentration in the Southern Region has become at least thirty percent denser than before! And it's still continuing to climb!”

“Several of those old fellows in the ancestral land who have been in seclusion for years have all used this favorable wind to make a Breakthrough!”

Shen Qingyuan raised a brow, not particularly surprised.

Over the years, with his assistance, several Old Ancestors had obtained many rare cultivation resources; a Breakthrough was only a matter of timing.

Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang slapped his thigh, his face full of excitement, “Your First Grand-Uncle had been stuck at the ninth level of the Primal Chaos Realm for over a hundred years. A few days ago, in one go, he broke through to the first level of the Asking Dao Realm!”

“Your Third Grand-Uncle, Shen Wanyue, also broke through from the seventh level of the Primal Chaos Realm to the ninth level!”

“And your Fifth Grand-Uncle, Seventh Grand-Uncle, Eighth Grand-Uncle... they've all broken through!”

Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang became more excited as he spoke, gesturing wildly, spit flying everywhere.

“Now, in our Shen Family, there are more than a dozen experts at the Primal Chaos Realm or above! There are also two in the Asking Dao Realm! Combined with our hidden trump cards, if placed in the entire Southern Region, we can be considered a first-rate power!”

After hearing this, Shen Qingyuan's expression remained calm.

The Heaven And Earth Spiritual Essence changing, the Spiritual Qi concentration climbing, and Cultivators finding it easier to break through—this was all very normal.

Back then, he had fed the Origin of that broken world to the Cangxuan Great World and received a gift from the Cangxuan Will. The Luck of the entire Shen Family was rising, so the Old Ancestors naturally benefited.

“Little Nine, here's what I'm thinking.” Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang put away his excitement, his expression becoming solemn, “Our Shen Family has been low-key in the Southern Region for so many years. Now that our strength has surged, should we... reveal a bit of it?”

Shen Qingyuan's brow twitched slightly: “Reveal our strength?”

“Yes!” Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang nodded, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, “Before, our Shen Family was weak, so we could only keep our heads down and didn't dare to stand out. But it's different now! Our Shen Family has over a dozen in the Primal Chaos Realm and two in the Asking Dao Realm. This strength, when placed in the Southern Region, is not much worse than the Seven Great Sects.”

He paused, “Furthermore, several Old Ancestors have calculated that with the current massive changes in heaven and earth, perhaps a great era is coming. If my Shen Family remains this low-key, I'm afraid it will be hard to seize opportunities.”

Shen Qingyuan was silent for a moment, then took a sip of tea.

“So, according to the Old Ancestors' meaning, what should be done?”

Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang's tone carried a bit of pride, “It's time to show the world the strength of our Shen Family! I plan to take Yuanshan and a few others for a tour of the various cities in the Southern Region, attend a few Dao discussion assemblies, and display the strength of the Void Piercing Realm. This way, the world will know that my Shen Family is no longer some Dharma-Aspect Family; we are a Void Tempering Clan!”

Old Turtle, squatting in the corner of the courtyard, almost jumped off the ground when he heard Elder Ancestor Shen Haocang's phrase 'Void Tempering Clan'.

His cloudy old eyes widened into circles, his mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, and the expression on his face was extremely colorful.

Void Tempering Clan?

You call this a Void Tempering Clan?

He stole a glance at the lazy young man on the soft couch, the corners of his mouth twitching violently.

This person is a Quasi-Emperor existence who casually crushed a Great Sage Peak and wiped out a top Holy Land of the Eastern Barrens!

And yet you, old man, are telling people your Shen Family is a Void Tempering Clan?

And those Elders, each with Primal Chaos Realm cultivation, yet they only reveal the aura of the Dharma Image Realm, hiding it tightly.

The Old Ancestors in the Asking Dao Realm appear to outsiders as only being in the Void Piercing Realm.

The entire Shen Family, from top to bottom, from old to young, is hiding their true abilities!

Truly, each one hides deeper than the last!

Old Turtle took a deep breath, sighing inwardly.

As expected of His Honor's Family, this Gou Dao art has already penetrated into their very marrow.

Shen Qingyuan nodded slightly and said with deep conviction, “Indeed, it is time to move up a bit.”
