Library of Heaven’s Path 2: Eternal Destiny

Vol 2 Chapter 132: Ancestors’ Blessing

"Since no one is withdrawing, let's begin!"

The head of the Fu family looked at everyone for a moment, and seeing no one leaving, he sighed in relief and turned to look at the elder in front of him.

The old matriarch waved her hand. "Ancestor worship, activate the Ten Thousand Fox Well!"

"Yes!"

The head of the Fu family nodded, setting up incense and candles for ancestor worship, with Fu Yingying and the others following suit.

Zhang Xuan and the others were merely the objects of enchantment. According to the terms of their previous life, they were considered to be in the "boyfriend" role, and had no qualification to participate in this, so they quietly waited off to the side.

Zhang Xuan was quietly sitting when he saw Yan San-shisan approach. He looked over with a hint of disdain in his eyes. "If I remember correctly, don't you have a wife?"

Under the control of the Source Hall Master’s methods, Yan San-shisan’s memory of entering the Wanxiang Gate had been erased. However, his memory of the Destiny Hall trial still remained. Kong Shiyao seemed to be one of his disciples, along with two extremely beautiful women, who were referred to as his "shimu" (master’s wife).

And yet, his wife was being enchanted, and this fool came running over for the trial like a lapdog... How shameless!

"Yes, I do. What about it?"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

"You’re not worthy of the Fu family. After a while, just admit defeat and leave. I’ll spare you the trouble of making a move, or else, don’t blame me for being impolite..."

Yan San-shisan put his hands behind his back and looked indifferent.

"Impolite?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the sound of drums from the front.

He looked up and saw that the ancestor worship had reached its final stage. The ancestral tablets ahead suddenly began shaking in unison. In an instant, countless strands of Destiny Energy were drawn from the void and swirled around the tablets, wandering and drifting.

This was the blessing of the ancestors, something only obtainable through ancestor worship.

Everyone in large families or sects usually cultivates the same type of Destiny. Although the cultivators may have passed away, their understanding of Destiny still resides in the tablets. Through ancestor worship, this power is released to nourish the descendants.

The higher the talent of the descendants, the more Destiny Energy they can absorb.

The old matriarch intentionally proposed ancestor worship, partly to comfort the spirits of the ancestors, and partly to see just how great Fu Yingying’s potential was.

"Looks like it’s starting to absorb the Destiny Energy. I want to see just how much she can absorb..."

The old matriarch smiled slightly, focusing on the tablets ahead.

Her strength was not weak, but even she couldn’t see the flowing Destiny Energy in the void. However, as long as she watched the tablets, she could still get a hint of what was happening.

The more the descendants absorbed, the more blessings they received. If they could make the tablets shake, it would show that the ancestors fully recognized their talent.

Hopefully, this time they would succeed...

While the old matriarch was looking at the tablets, Zhang Xuan focused on the vast Destiny Energy in the sky, feeling excited.

He had been struggling to find something to use, and now it appeared—truly, things came when you least expected!

Ignoring Yan San-shisan, who was so full of himself, Zhang Xuan’s spirit stirred, and he immediately began devouring the surrounding Destiny Energy.

Whoosh!

A stream of pure power surged through his acupoints into his body, and in the next moment, it entered the Library of Heaven's Path, flowing into the Fox Charm Destiny.

In just a few breaths, the flow of Destiny Energy grew significantly thicker.

Zhang Xuan furrowed his brow.

His plan was to have the Affection Destiny absorb the energy and use this opportunity to break through to the second stage. But instead, it was all consumed by this thing…

He hadn’t wanted to cultivate the Fox Charm Destiny in the first place, but now it kept increasing. Was it playing him?

"Affection Destiny absorb..."

Zhang Xuan muttered in his mind, trying to redirect the incoming energy to the Affection Destiny. However, before he could reach it, the Fox Charm Destiny devoured it once more.

At this moment, the Fox Charm Destiny seemed like a sponge that was desperately soaking up water, not leaving a single drop behind...

After several attempts that failed, Zhang Xuan finally understood.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"These Destiny Energies must belong to the ancestral blessing, and can only be absorbed by the Fox Charm Destiny..."

He had originally thought that he could help the Affection Destiny progress, but now that it couldn’t, his interest quickly faded.

Even so, the absorption speed was still too fast. In just a few minutes, he had absorbed tens of thousands of strands.

Meanwhile, Fu Yingying, Fu Qingqing, Fu Jingjing, and the others combined had only absorbed fewer than two hundred strands...

They were absorbing slowly, but the old matriarch couldn’t see that. She only saw that the tablets, which had been shaking smoothly at first, were now shaking more and more rapidly, like banana leaves in the wind.

"Good, good, good..."

Excited, the old matriarch’s face flushed red, nearly laughing out loud.

Before, she had merely suspected, but now, she was one hundred percent certain.

Only the supreme profundity of the Fox Charm Destiny could absorb energy this quickly. Fu Yingying truly was extraordinary!

"Alright, the ancestor worship ends here..."

Seeing that the tablets were shaking violently and might explode if they continued, the old matriarch waved her hand.

Boom!

Before she even finished speaking, all the ancestral tablets simultaneously let out a whimper, like wounded little dogs, and exploded, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

"???"

The old matriarch blinked in disbelief.

Even the ancestral tablets couldn’t withstand the absorption—was the supreme profundity really this terrifying?

"Matriarch..."

The head of the Fu family was also stunned. He had never even heard of such a situation.

"It’s fine!"

Not wanting to explain the reason, the old matriarch waved her hand and quickly looked over at Fu Yingying. She saw that the great-granddaughter, who looked equally surprised, seemed unaware of what had happened.

"Her disguise is so well done..."

The old matriarch nodded in satisfaction.

She was indeed a great child—clearly powerful, yet so humble. So much better than the others.

"This..."

Zhang Xuan hadn’t expected that absorbing Destiny Energy would cause the ancestor tablets to explode. Feeling guilty, he looked around to make sure no one noticed it was him. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He secretly glanced at the Library of Heaven's Path. Destroying the Fu family ancestral tablets also made the Fox Charm Destiny grow by almost double. It seemed like it just needed one more push to break through.

"Is this the peak of the second stage?"

Zhang Xuan scratched his head.

It took less than two hours to go from understanding to reaching the peak of the second stage... The more he didn’t want to progress in this Destiny, the faster it improved. Meanwhile, the Affection Destiny, which he had been trying to advance, showed no signs of progress...

What kind of situation was this!

At this moment, Fu Yingying, Fu Jingjing, Fu Qingqing, and the others felt the surrounding Destiny Energy had completely dissipated. They were all dumbfounded.

Is this the end?

They had expected the ancestral blessing to bring something great, but instead... this was a huge letdown!
