Shi clan, a secluded room, yesterday.

"If everyone's following Patriarch's train of thought, then she might have stolen the most important treasure a clan could have."

"A clan heirloom," Shi Buyong said with a serious face.

All of the elders' faces excluding Senior Yan's turned pale at the thought of it. Even Shi Xingwan couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he considered the possibility of that happening.

Shi Xingwan shook his head as he dispelled the thought. 'Is that the reason why she left me and Shi Li?

He sighed as he turned his head to face Shi Buyong. "If that's the case, then we might have to fend off against an onslaught that could possibly wreck this clan to smithereens."

He then faced Senior Yan and asked, "Continuing this train of thought, Senior Yan, how is the training of Shi Li going to improve our chances of surviving this?"

Senior Yan rubbed his chin as he replied straightforwardly, "He has her bloodline."

"Bloodline..." Shi Xingwan's mind repeated this word multiple times. He knew that his son does have her bloodline, but what is Senior Yan trying to imply, he thought.

Using his evolved brain at the Creation realm, Shi Xingwan got to a conclusion as he looked at Senior Yan as his body tensed up.

"Y-You mean...his bloodline has..."

Senior Yan looked at Shi Xingwan in the eye and slowly nodded.

Shi Xingwan couldn't help but sit down on his chair and let out a sigh filled with emotion. "I guess the third condition has been fulfilled huh."

Shi Xingtai looked at his brother and asked, "What do you mean by third condition?"

Shi Xingwan turned his head lifelessly to face his younger brother and replied, "Before she left, she gave me three conditions which our son might fulfill. She just told me that these conditions would change the future."

"Could you please tell us Patriarch? We might find another solution to this if you do," Shi Zhenlong respectfully questioned Shi Xingwan, to which Shi Xingwan nodded his head.

"The first condition is that he would have a sudden desire to cultivate. We all know that he used to be a playboy around three months ago. But all of a sudden, one day, he went to my room telling me that he wanted to cultivate."

"Isn't that normal? All people want to cultivate since they want to become immortal," Shi Lianghua couldn't help but mutter.

Shi Xingwan nodded as he continued on with a doubtful tone. "Well that's a matter of fact. But even before that, he didn't have any desire to cultivate at all. And all of a sudden, he becomes this cultivating maniac we all know today."

"What's the second condition, Patriarch?" Shi Buyong chimed in.

"The second condition was that in the start of his cultivation, he would pick the most refined cultivation technique. Not only that, he would also say that his reason was because he wanted to set a strong foundation...to which he did not long after he got the sudden desire to cultivate."

"As you can see, it's not like him to do something like that. From a playboy into a steadfast cultivator, that's a drastic change right there."

As he said this, the other elders nodded their heads since they also noticed the peculiarity of the situation.

All of a sudden, the elder in charge of healing, Shi Yuhe, asked, "Then the third condition I presume is the awakening of his bloodline, correct?"

Shi Xingwan nodded. "That's exactly the case. But the question is, when did he awaken his bloodline? And why didn't he tell me about it?"

Senior Yan answered his question. "As for the time he awakened his bloodline, let's save that for later. About the reason why he didn't want to tell you, think about this way."

"If you accidentally found a vault filled to the brim with treasures, would you tell other people about it?" Senior Yan gave them a question.

All of the elders shook their heads. Senior Yan continued, "You don't because you want to keep all of the treasures to yourselves. Don't feel guilty because that's the truth, people are all selfish."

"Now in relation to that, Shi Li, who awakened a bloodline that was heaven defying, is the same as the person who discovers a vault filled with treasures. Why would he tell other people about it if he could keep it to himself?"

The elders thought about it logically and agreed with Senior Yan's statement. Shi Xingwan also agreed and asked a question, "Let's say that's his reason. Could you give me proof that he did awaken his bloodline?"

After hearing his question, Senior Yan condensed a wisp of qi on his finger as part of his spirit sense entered the qi, flying up to the air and becoming a screen showing Senior Yan's point of view.

On the screen was Shi Li facing his back towards Senior Yan as he mumbled. All of a sudden, Senior Yan spoke and made Shi Li turn around. Senior Yan then paused the screen at that exact moment and zoomed in on Shi Li's eyes.

If one were to examine at first glance, they wouldn't see anything different. But with the elders being at the Creation realm, their awareness to their surroundings rose to a higher level, which meant their awareness to changes became stronger as well.

At first glance, they could see that Shi Li's pupil was a crimson red color, similar to the eye color of Shi Xingwan's wife, Hei Weiqiang.

Shi Xingwan noticed that difference and sighed as he accepted his fate. "I guess that's that. We'll follow through with your plan, Senior Yan. What do you want to do?"

Shi Xingtai looked at Shi Xingwan with confusion as he asked, "Brother, is that really your wife's bloodline. I remember her eyes being fully crimson red back then."

Shi Xingwan explained, "According to her, whenever their bloodlines awaken, the first thing that becomes crimson red is their pupils before their irises."

"The irises only become crimson red once the person steps into the Creation realm."

Shi Xingwan faced Senior Yan again and asked one more time, "What are your plans?"

"Teach him how to utilize his bloodline to its maximum and how to craft his own special technique. I'll also teach him my special technique," Senior Yan replied.

Shi Xingwan nodded. "Is there anythig we can help with?"

"You could change the part of your deal between you two about the weapon into a Middle Human grade weapon," Senior Yan lightly smiled.

"How did you—fine," Shi Xingwan didn't know how Senior Yan found out about the private deal between him and Shi Li, but he remembered Senior Yan's spirit sense and thought that it was the most plausible conclusion.

"We must also do all we can to let Shi Li enter the Year-End Tournament that's going to happen in 4 months...I feel like that's the time they're going to attack," Senior Yan added.

"Is there anything of significance if Shi Li does enter?"

"Once they see Shi Li doing his best, the Huang clan would believe that they spent all of their efforts on Shi Li, deducing that almost all of the clan members left the clan and went to the town arena to cheer on for Shi Li."

"I see. If that's the case, I guess we could let him enter the Shi Trial Tower."

"Set his entry to one month later, I still have to instill him with information."

"Got it."

...

Shi clan, Clan library, present day.

"Achoo!"

Shi Li wiped his nose as he thought that someone was thinking about him. Putting that into the back of his head, he looked at the shelf of martial techniques he could choose from.

"Since I already have an all-around martial technique, and an offensive martial technique that came from the interface, I have sufficient progress in the offensive side of things."

"Which leaves me having a deficiency in the defensive side of things. I guess I'll take this then, it uses the same elements as [Ardent Magma Manipulation Art] anyway."

--------

[Lava Shield]

[Grade]: Low Human

'A defensive martial technique crafted by a cultivator that lived near a volcano, this technique allows the cultivator to a conjure a revolving lava shield that protects the vital organs of the cultivator. Once cultivated to the perfection level, the cultivator can conjure three lava shields that revolve around their body.'

--------

"Yep, that's good enough."

"Moddy, come with me. Let's go grab a movement technique."
