Chapter 1318: Chapter 946: Seizing the Authority of Reincarnation

Zhang Gaoqiu is of the Zhang Family’s direct lineage, and he is the second legitimate son. It is indeed expected that he should experience the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation of the Zhang Family.

Upon hearing Zhang Gaoqiu’s words, the Third Prince was instantly invigorated: “That’s the legendary Six Paths of Reincarnation. If I can acquire it, I can do countless things in the future, and even during my struggle for the throne, it will play a decisive role. I can aid the reincarnation of the ancestors of the Great Victory Royal Family, allowing them to live another life. Who could compete with me for the throne then?”

With this thought, the Third Prince didn’t hesitate to stride boldly into the space.

At this moment, Zhang Chen stood at the portal. His eyes gazed into the dark and profound space, but he didn’t rush in recklessly. He just beckoned gently to the space, and the next moment, a black mini vortex appeared in Zhang Chen’s hand, a part of the Six Paths of Reincarnation had already been collected by him.

Zhang Chen possessed the Authority of Reincarnation, giving him absolute control over reincarnation. Without the suppression of the powers of the Ancient Times, he could collect the Six Paths of Reincarnation whenever he wished.

It was evident that the secluded place of the Great Victory Royal Family’s ancestors was unguarded by Divine Demon-level experts.

“Now that I have gathered the Six Paths of Reincarnation completely, once I retrieve the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc from the zombie’s coffin, I will be able to fully control the Six Paths of Reincarnation.” Zhang Chen delightedly sealed the reincarnation into the Celestial Eye, then turned back, seated himself in the pavilion, watching the scene unfold.

As the Six Paths of Reincarnation was taken by Zhang Chen, the dormant old folks within reincarnation were all stirred up. Just as the Third Prince led Zhang Gaoqiu and his followers into the space, they saw spirits exuding a decayed aura glaring at them.

“Did you take the Six Paths of Reincarnation?” one of the ancient spirits glared at Chai Wenxin: “You bear the blood of the Chai Family as well. I won’t hold you accountable, but you better hand over the reincarnation fast, or I, your ancestor, will have no choice but to flay and light you up today.”

“Scoudrel, I am the Third Prince of the Great Victory Dynasty. How dare you speak to me like that?” The Third Prince was immensely furious upon hearing this. He hadn’t thought the Land of Reincarnation would have their own ancestor nearing the end of his life, nor that the Great Victory Royal Family had hidden a path of reincarnation.

He merely thought the other side was an evil being hiding within the reincarnation space, so he responded bluntly.

“Third Prince of Great Victory? Haha, do you know who I am?” The old man chuckled coldly, his voice full of sarcasm.

“Who are you?” The Third Prince instinctively asked.

“I am your uncle grandfather!” the old man said in a cold voice: “That one is your great grandfather! That one is your great-great grandfather! That one is your ancestor grandfather…”

The old man constantly pointed to the shadows in the darkness to introduce them to Chai Wenxin, who was stunned. Upon sensing the bloodline power within them, he found no mistake; they indeed bore the bloodline power of the Great Victory Royal Family.

“Young man, you’re quite capable, able to find the hiding place of my Chai Family’s ancestors. You better quickly return the reincarnation that suppresses the lifespans of these ancestors, then retreat from here. When your lifespan reaches its limit, you naturally will have the opportunity to come here to sleep. But for now, this place isn’t suitable for you, so you should leave quickly.” The old man spoke to Chai Wenxin, his voice filled with admiration. The information revealed was vast, making Chai Wenxin’s scalp tingle, a chill running from his back directly into his mind. This was indeed the hiding place of his ancestors, the place suppressing their lifespans, and now exposed due to his discovery through a mysterious map.

“There must be a conspiracy here! I’ve fallen into a trap!” A sense of foreboding surged in Chai Wenxin’s heart. Even if he were foolish, he should know that this place was the Chai Family’s last foundation, vitally important, and couldn’t be exposed.

He had been schemed against!

Especially with that uncle grandfather complimenting him so cheerfully, asking him to hand over the Six Paths of Reincarnation, causing cold sweat to seep down his spine.

What reincarnation? He hadn’t seen a single trace of it!

“What’s the matter? Unwilling to hand it over? That Six Paths of Reincarnation is the treasure my Chai Family’s ancestors have used to suppress their lifespans for generations. Losing the Six Paths of Reincarnation, some among the ancestors have only days of life left, immediately turning into bones. Others have only years left, enduring just a little while longer. So you should know the importance of the reincarnation; when your lifespan runs out, you might rely on it to survive the limit.” The old man seemed quite approving of Chai Wenxin’s methods. Not only was he not angry at the discovery of the place, but he believed Chai Wenxin to be capable.

In the five thousand years since the founding of the Great Victory Dynasty, it’s the first time this young man found this family foundation.

Faced with the compliments of the black-robed old man, Chai Wenxin only felt his throat dry, seemingly blocked by cotton, unable to speak a word.

“What’s wrong?” Noticing Chai Wenxin’s grim expression, the black-robed old man saw his reluctance to hand over the treasure and slightly frowned, a glint of coldness appearing in his eyes.

If the Reincarnation’s protection is lost, every single one of the Chai family’s ancestors will turn to dust. Everyone is clinging to life with their final breaths, waiting for a sliver of vitality when the great change comes in the future. If someone causes them to be unable to survive, they will make sure that person turns to ash first.

“Ancestor, you’ve misunderstood! Grandson just entered here and hasn’t even seen the sight of Reincarnation. How could I have the opportunity to seize it? Are you sure there’s no mistake?” Chai Wenxin felt a foreboding premonition arise in his heart. He had just entered this place, and the Reincarnation was lost. How coincidental is that?

Thinking back to the inexplicable map, Chai Wenxin could hardly believe there wasn’t a trap set for him.

Therefore, Chai Wenxin was extremely anxious, pondering how he could remove himself from this situation.

‘Who on earth is plotting against me? Is it that damn brother of mine? Or the Eight Great Clans who have always been at odds with the royal family? Or perhaps the Demon Race?’ Chai Wenxin was now very flustered, his unease growing more intense by the minute.

Considering that the map was sent by Zhang Gaoqiu, who said it was left by his father, could it be that the Zhang Family had schemed against him? Was the Zhang Family behind this plot?

The more Chai Wenxin thought about it, the more panicked he became, sweat beading on his nose.

“The Reincarnation wasn’t stolen by you? Are you joking? Only you people entered this place. If it wasn’t you who stole the Reincarnation, did the Reincarnation Stone fly away on its own? Or are we falsely accusing you, suggesting that we stole the Six Paths of Reincarnation ourselves?” The old man’s voice grew colder, his gaze turning malicious.

If you didn’t steal the Reincarnation, are you suggesting we old folks stole it? It was you who opened the Reincarnation Space and entered within, yet you claim you didn’t steal the Reincarnation? Besides your group, there is no one else here. Are you saying we stole it ourselves?

“Ancestor, although you might not believe it, the Reincarnation Space truly wasn’t stolen by us!” Chai Wenxin’s voice was filled with helplessness. He had just entered the place; where would he have the time to steal the Power of Reincarnation?

“Seize them and initiate Soul Extraction and Refining. I refuse to believe they can still deny it with their dying breaths.” At this moment, another old man emerged from the darkness, his voice tinged with an icy chill.

“Seize this unworthy descendant, then question the current Human King of Great Victory as to how such an unworthy descendant should be dealt with!” Another chilling voice echoed in the void, accompanied by eerie laughter as the old monsters of the Chai Family emerged from the shadows, eyeing Chai Wenxin and his group menacingly.

Chai Wenxin had already sensed something was amiss. How had the Reincarnation mysteriously disappeared? What kind of expert could take the Reincarnation from under everyone’s noses?

As the tension mounted between the parties, divine lights flickered outside Chongzheng Academy. Three Twelfth-Tier gods and Dugu Qiu had arrived outside the hidden space. Observing Chai Wenxin and his group standing at the door, as well as the ancestors of the Chai Family in the depths of the space, Dugu Qiu bowed deeply and greeted, “Greetings to all the ancestors.”

“Dugu Qiu, you’ve come at the right time. Quickly seize this group; the ancestor wishes to perform Soul Extraction and Refining on them,” the ancestor commanded with a gesture toward Chai Wenxin and his group.

“Ancestor, this person is but the third son of the current Human King, who accidentally wandered in. Perhaps you should let me take him and request the Human King for severe punishment, how about it?” Dugu Qiu replied.

“Ha ha, request severe punishment from the Human King? I ask you, with the Reincarnation lost, what crime should he be punished for?” the ancestor inquired.

“What?” Dugu Qiu’s face changed as he turned to the Third Prince, “Your Highness, did you steal the Reincarnation? The Reincarnation is the foundation of our Great Victory royal family. You must quickly return it so I can plead for you to the ancestors!”

Hearing Dugu Qiu’s words, Chai Wenxin was so distressed he was on the verge of tears. He was more wronged than Dou E! “Grand Steward, can’t you tell I am just a commoner? How could I have the means to seize the Reincarnation under the eyes of the ancestors?”

“If it wasn’t you who stole it, are we wrongly accusing you then? Besides you, there’s no one else here!” The ancestor coldly snorted, “Such obstinacy! Refusing to admit fault until it’s too late!”

As he spoke, since the Reincarnation was lost, the space began to show signs of collapse due to the loss of the Power of Reincarnation, with space fragments continually shattering.

“Boy, quickly hand over the Reincarnation. If you wait until it’s completely broken, even death by a thousand cuts won’t reverse the situation.” The Chai Family ancestor glared angrily at Chai Wenxin.

Chai Wenxin, now extremely agitated, replied, “Even though I opened the space door, you can’t wrongly accuse me! I really didn’t take it!”
