120: Rebirth Jade

"Revered Master is going too?"

Qin Tian was somewhat surprised.

Yun Xi raised the corner of her lips, "What, you don't want me to go?"

"No... I just wonder if the Xue Clan will agree?" Qin Tian looked at Xue Wener.

"Even if they don't agree, I have a way to send your Revered Master inside, don't worry!" Xue Wener patted her chest.

Huh?

Xue Yi was stunned.

What does that mean?

Why are Qin Tian and his Revered Master going to the Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan?

"Qin Tian, why did you..."

Xue Wener explained, "The Qin Family just sent someone to notify us. Because Qin Tian achieved outstanding war merit in the Abyss Prison Land, the Qin Family decided to give up their quota."

"Qin Tian will take the place of a Qin Family Junior and enter the Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan."

Xue Yi's lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Is this a dream...?

Qin Tian entering the Ancestral Land with me... doesn't that mean... *Swoosh!*

A blush flashed across Xue Yi's face.

"I... I'll go prepare first..."

Before her voice faded, Xue Yi hurried away.

"What's wrong with her?"

Qin Tian was puzzled.

*Dong—!*

The bell rang again.

Inside the Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan, five streams of light materialized.

「The second person on the right is the Old Ancestor of Mother's lineage.」

Qin Tian looked over upon hearing this. The second person on the right was an old woman with white hair and a kind face.

She showed no trace of Spiritual Power, looking just like an ordinary old woman.

「The first person on the left is the Old Ancestor of Xue Yi's lineage...」

Xue Wener introduced them to Qin Tian one by one.

「There is also an Ancient Ancestor, the oldest existence in the Xue Clan. Rumor has it that he is of the same generation as the Qin Family Ancient Ancestor.」

「This Ancient Ancestor rarely appears and is extremely mysterious. Apart from a few Old Ancestors, no one has seen the Ancient Ancestor's true face.」

Qin Tian committed it to memory.

"Esteemed Old Ancestors, everyone is present."

A Heavenly Monarch of the Xue Clan said respectfully.

"Where are the people from the Qin Family?" The Ancient Ancestor on the far right asked curiously.

"Heh heh, the Qin Family said their Juniors were useless and unwilling to waste this Opportunity, so they gave it to someone else." The Ancient Ancestor in the very center said with a chuckle.

"Someone else?"

"Who is qualified to replace the Qin Family Junior?"

The other Xue Clan disciples began discussing amongst themselves.

The Xue Clan Old Ancestor raised his eyes and looked in Qin Tian's direction.

"Little friend, step forward."

All the Xue Clan disciples turned around simultaneously, looking at that extraordinarily handsome figure.

"Ah—!"

"It's Qin Tian!!"

"When did he get here!?"

Instantly, a commotion arose in the crowd.

Many young women's eyes lit up, and they secretly scrutinized Qin Tian with slight shyness.

"Seriously, he's so handsome..."

Qin Tian felt a bit awkward for a moment.

"Heh heh, little friend, there's no need to worry. My Xue Clan disciples have always admired the strong."

「Go.」

Xue Wener's voice sounded in his mind.

Qin Tian calmed his emotions and walked up to the several Old Ancestors.

"The Qin Family gave this Opportunity to Qin Tian. I think it is very suitable. What do you all think?" The Ancient Ancestor in the very center spoke slowly.

"Good, very good."

"Excellent, excellent."

"I have no objection either..."

The several Old Ancestors nodded in agreement.

"Then, it is settled."

"Qin Tian, come here." A slightly kind voice sounded.

Qin Tian looked over upon hearing the voice. It was his own Old Ancestor beckoning him.

"Greetings, Senior."

"I find you kind-looking and rather likable, so I shall give you a small gift..."

As she spoke, the old woman took out a piece of translucent ancient jade and placed it in Qin Tian's hand.

Looking at the ancient jade, the other Old Ancestors gasped.

Deep disbelief appeared on their faces.

The value of this jade was immeasurable; even they did not possess one.

The entire Xue Clan only had this one piece, held by the old woman.

She actually gave it directly to Qin Tian?

Qin Tian felt the warm, moist aura emanating from his palm.

This jade contained something extraordinary!

"This item is called the Reincarnation Jade!"

"It can contain memories."

"Memories?" Qin Tian was slightly surprised.

Logically speaking, memory relies on the existence of the Divine Soul.

However, the old woman did not mention the Divine Soul, only memory.

Could it be that... "Heh heh, you guessed correctly."

"The Reincarnation Jade can contain all the memories of a sentient being without relying on the Divine Soul; it is truly memory without any physical substance."

"Senior, this is too valuable, Junior cannot accept it."

"Heh heh, if I tell you to take it, then take it. This thing is useless if it stays with me." The old woman smiled kindly.

「Tian'er, keep it. Perhaps the Old Ancestor sensed something and specifically gave it to you.」 Xue Wener transmitted her voice.

"Then... thank you, Senior, for the treasure."

"Heh heh, there are still some rituals before entering the Ancestral Land. Stay by my side and observe carefully."

"Yes, Senior."

Not long after, Qin Tian looked into the distance.

He saw Xue Yi, dressed in white like snow, walking in ceremonial attire, slowly stepping onto the Ancestral Land Altar.

The Xue Clan Ancient Ancestor soared into the sky, chanting profound sounds.

On the altar, streaks of light shone, resonating with Xue Yi.

This was the necessary ritual before succeeding as the Snow Clan Saintess.

It contained a method to awaken the Ancestral Bloodline.

It could also increase the chance of obtaining the complete Legacy after entering the Ancestral Land.

Qin Tian merely watched silently.

Since it involved the secrets of the Xue Clan, he did not delve too deeply.

However.

What Qin Tian didn't know was that.

At the same moment.

A gaze deep within the Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan was also staring intently at him.

On a Thousand Zhang boulder, a pair of pristine jade legs swung back and forth.

Their owner was a woman exquisitely carved like a snowflake.

White hair, white eyebrows.

Even her pupils were white... Her gaze quietly stared, remaining fixed on Qin Tian the entire time.

"Qin Tian..."

"He has that old fellow's aura on him."

"Intentionally covering up his Bloodline aura for him, yet leaving a slight flaw..."

"Hmph!"

"Did he specifically want me to find it?"

"What a cunning old fellow."

"Forget it, forget it. This kid also has Xue Clan Bloodline flowing in him, so giving it to him wouldn't count as leaking it externally..."

"I just wonder, what is his character like?"

"I'll find an Opportunity to test him."

The voice drifted into the distance.

The woman gradually rose into the air, transforming into snowflakes, and vanished without a trace... The tedious and complex ritual finally concluded.

Xue Yi gracefully walked over.

"Qin Tian, are you ready?"

"We must enter the Ancestral Land together."

Qin Tian nodded, "Alright."

「Tian'er, you go first. Mother will send your Revered Master in shortly.」

「Remember to wait briefly at the entrance.」

Qin Tian smiled slightly and stepped through the Restriction entrance with Xue Yi.

Light flashed, and the two disappeared... A few breaths later.

Qin Tian opened his eyes again, and the scene before him had completely changed.

A bone-chilling cold rushed toward him.

As far as the eye could see, there was only endless silver-white snow cover.

The Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan was a snowfield.

And he was currently standing atop the vast snow.

"Xue Yi?"

He called Xue Yi's name.

But he received no answer.

Xue Yi was nowhere to be seen around him.

"Strange, did something go wrong with the teleportation?"

"I'll wait for Revered Master first..."

Qin Tian sat cross-legged, circulating his Spiritual Power to resist the wind and snow, waiting quietly.

One breath... ten breaths... a hundred breaths... He didn't know how much time had passed.

It remained silent and still.

Yun Xi had not appeared at all.

"Did Revered Master not make it in?"

"Or is it that..."

"Help me—!! Someone save me—!!"

While he was wondering, Qin Tian heard a cry for help.

"Someone is here?" He was surprised.

After pondering for a moment, he still sped toward the source of the sound...
