Chapter 88: The Su Family's Cards

sword intent, it was impossible to master the third layer of Lei Huo 奧義 secret technique. However, in reality, the third form of this illusory scroll was even more difficult to master than the third l...Su Xin followed Su Bai to the Su family ancestral hall.

Inside the ancestral hall, there are numerous spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Su family. In the very center is the spirit tablet of the patriarch of the Su family.

"Xiner, kneel down and kowtow to your ancestor," Su Bai said.

Su Xin immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully.

This ancestor, who led the Su family to its glory, brought boundless honor to the Su family. It was because of his existence that the Su family could become a top-tier family.

No one can compare to his contributions to the Su family.

"Er, do you know about the strength of our ancestor when he was alive" Su Bai looked over.

"I know that my ancestor, Su Xindao, was a top expert who had reached the realm of Nirvana in his lifetime."

"Yes, it is the Nirvana Realm, but it is not an ordinary Nirvana Realm. Su Bai smiled faintly, "Even among those at the Void Breaking Realm, whose cultivation levels are the same, there are strong and weak individuals. The Nirvana Realm is naturally the same. When our ancestor was alive, his power within the Nirvana Realm was extremely formidable. Ordinary Nirvana Realms were simply no match for him."

"That's why King Qi was so polite to my Su family back then. He was even very humble when facing our ancestor. And the Heavenly Flame Emperor also received favors from our ancestor, so even after our ancestor passed away, this Heavenly Flame Emperor was still willing to give my Su family a chance for protection."

Su Xin couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart upon hearing this.

The ancestor of the Su family is not only a Nirvana Realm cultivator, but also an extremely powerful one within the Nirvana Realm

“Ancestor, in his lifetime, brought boundless glory to the Su family. Even after death, he left behind the hope for our family’s resurgence. Father asked you to return when you break through to the Void Realm, just to give you what Ancestor left behind,” Su Baichen said.

"What the Ancestor left behind" Su Xin was greatly surprised.

The Old Ancestor left behind three treasures in total. The first one was this, Su Bai flipped his hand over and took out a jet-black iron plate.

This iron sheet looks ordinary, yet it carries a hint of ancient aura.

"Within this iron sheet, lies a secret technique of the Su Bai's Dao."

"Secret technique" Su Xin was startled.

“This is a powerful and terrifying secret technique. It was obtained by our ancestor by chance in a hidden realm long ago. The secret technique within that realm was originally complete, but our ancestor's aptitude was limited. After spending a full year of effort, he only managed to comprehend the first form of this introductory technique!”

“According to the old ancestor's words, this was the greatest opportunity of his lifetime. Even if he could only exert part of its power from the first-form secret technique, it was still the biggest trump card in his hand. Before the old ancestor died, he tried his best to record the complete understanding of this secret technique on this iron sheet.”

"It took the Ancestor a whole year to barely grasp one technique Even if it's just one technique, and only utilizes part of its power, it could become the Ancestor's greatest trump card" Su Xin was shocked inwardly.

Even just a portion of its power is so formidable, if this were the complete technique, how incredibly strong would it be

This secret technique is extremely demanding, requiring a massive amount of spiritual energy to wield. Under normal circumstances, only those at the Nirvana Realm and above are qualified to comprehend and utilize it.

Su Bai pondered, looking at Su Xin and continuing, "But your talent is extraordinary, far surpassing that of our ancestor. Perhaps you haven't reached the conditions to use it now, but once you break through to the later stages of Void Breaking or even the peak of Void Breaking, you might be able to comprehend and wield this secret technique as a trump card."

Su Xin nodded and immediately took the iron sheet.

"The second treasure left behind by the ancestor was a spell," Fa Su Bai said, taking out a strange blood-red bead from his hand.

Su Xin only needed to glance at the blood-colored bead before he could sense an incredibly powerful array formation emanating from it.

"Blood Cloud Killing Formation!"

"This is a terrifying killing array that is extremely famous throughout the entire Eastern Desolate region. Its value is extremely high, enough to make countless Nirvana Realm powerhouses covet it and even go mad trying to seize it."

Su Bai solemnly said, "Ancestors had spent a great deal of effort to improve their strength. In order to explore secret realms and dangerous places better, gain opportunities, they spared no expense, even exhausting a lifetime's accumulation, just to acquire this killing formation!"

"Unfortunately, the Ancestor only just exchanged this killing formation before he unexpectedly died, so very few people in the outside world know about its existence.

"Xiner, this killing formation is also entrusted to you. You've already reached the Void Breaking Realm cultivation, although you can't fully exert the power of this killing formation, even if you only exert a part of it, your strength will still see significant improvement," Su Bai said.

"Father, your strength far surpasses mine. With this killing formation in your hands, wouldn't the power it unleashes be even stronger" Su Xin frowned.

"This killing formation is useless against my father," Su Bai shook his head directly.

He wasn't lying.

If he hadn't broken the seal within his body yet, this killing formation could still significantly increase his strength.

After the seal within his body was broken, his combat power had reached an invincible level in the Void-Shattering Realm. At this time, only Nirvana Realm experts could still threaten him. Even with this killing formation in hand, he would still be unable to contend against Nirvana Realm experts.

Unless...he unlocks the second seal within him!

Since he couldn't contend with the Nirvana Realm anyway, this killing formation was indeed unnecessary for him.

Su Xin no longer declined and took the blood-colored bead as well.

"Xiner, you must remember, this Blood Cloud Killing Formation is invaluable. You're fine within the Heavenly Flame Imperial Dynasty because of your status as a disciple of the Heavenly Flame Palace; few dare to attack you. But in the future, if you leave the Heavenly Flame Imperial Dynasty and venture elsewhere... then you must be more careful," Su Baichen warned.

“Su Xin nodded.

He also understood that this blood cloud killing move was extremely famous in the Eastern Desolate land, and its value was high. Even Nirvana Realm powerhouses coveted it immensely.

Once he ventures out into the world and people learn that he possesses a complete Blood Cloud Killing Formation, it's highly likely to attract the attention of powerful Nirvana Realm experts.

"Lastly, it's the third treasure left behind by our ancestor!"

Similarly, this treasure is also the biggest trump card of my Su family!

"What's your trump card" Su Xin was surprised.

The Su family, once a top-tier family.

The ancestor of the Su family, even within the Nirvana realm, was an extremely powerful being.

After the fall of the Su family patriarch, and the subsequent decline of the Su family, many people, including some forces and families, speculated whether the Su family patriarch had left any trump cards for the Su family...

Especially the destroyed Pang family, and that Situ family.

Previously, I tested the waters repeatedly but couldn't be sure if the Su family had any hidden cards up their sleeve. That's why I kept them on edge.

Not to mention outsiders, even within the Su family, and even those elders of the Su family, they didn't know if the Su family had any trump cards. Su Xin previously didn't know either.

But now, he knows.

The ancestor of the Su family left behind a trump card for the Su family!

"Letter, look,"

Su Bai opened his palm, revealing a white, sword-shaped talisman in its center.

"This is..."

Su Xin looked at this sword-shaped order. On the surface, it didn't look unusual at all. But as his consciousness sank into it, he immediately sensed a terrifying power hidden within the order, so powerful that it made his whole body tremble with fear.

Fortunately, this power is contained within the talisman.

If this were to break out, it wouldn't take much, even just a little bit, I'm afraid it could instantly kill him dozens of times.

"Such terrifying power, who left this behind" Su Xin exclaimed in shock.

"Jiusheng Mountain, the sixth mountain master, Su Bai Chen said."

"Mount Jiusheng" Su Xin was startled.

He remembered that the powerful and mysterious monk Wu Chao, whom he had encountered on a hunting trip, came from Mount Jiusheng.

Nàwū Cháoshí also said that, if there is a chance in the future, he would like to meet him again on Jiusheng Mountain.

"Father, what exactly is this Jiusheng Mountain" Su Xin asked.

"Jiusheng Mountain is a force within the Donghuang region. Su Bai explained it."

"The Eastern Desolation is vast, larger than you can imagine. And within this boundless expanse, the most numerous and common are empires, such as our own Heavenly Flame Empire, just one among them."

Besides the imperial dynasties, within the Eastern Desolation, there exist numerous ancient and formidable sects. These sects have many that have been passed down for thousands, even tens of thousands of years, possessing profound foundations. In terms of strength, they far surpass numerous imperial dynasties.

"Ten thousand years Passing down for thousands of years" Su Xin was surprised.

As far as he knew, the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty had been around for only about a thousand years.

What concept is a sectarian force that has been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years

"Jiushen Mountain is a powerful force in Dong荒 with a history of nearly ten thousand years. It has countless strong individuals under its command and controls a vast territory. The Tianyan Imperial Dynasty, for example, falls within the sphere of influence of Jiushen Mountain," Su Baichen said.

"The Heavenly Flame Dynasty, controlled by the Nine Holy Mountains" Su Xin took a sharp breath.

“Xiner, as a disciple of the Heavenly Flame Palace, if you can grow up and have the opportunity to break through to the Nirvana Realm in the future, you will naturally be introduced into Mount Jiusheng under the recommendation of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty and become one of its outer members. Not only you, but most Nirvana Realm powerhouses within the Heavenly Flame Dynasty are also outer members of Mount Jiusheng.”

"Back when the Ancestor was alive, he was also a member of the Nine Saints Mountain's outer circle. The Blood Cloud Killing Array I just gave you is something the Ancestor acquired at great cost from within the Nine Saints Mountain in exchange for Su Bai's path to transcendence."

"Is that so" Su Xin raised an eyebrow.

At the same time, he also understood that the threshold of Jiusheng Mountain had to be a strong Nirvana Realm expert.

Only those who have reached the Nirvana realm are eligible to join Jiusheng Mountain, and I am still only an outer member.

"Didn't Wu Chao from before also come from Jiusheng Mountain But he was only at the Haihai Realm back then" Su Xin had some doubts in her heart.

“Mount Jiusheng, there are too many strong people. Nirvana Realm experts are just ordinary peripheral members. The core members of Mount Jiusheng are many who are extremely powerful in the Nirvana Realm. And the strongest and most esteemed figure in Mount Jiusheng is the mountain master!” Su Bai continued.

The masters of Jiusheng Mountain each possess incredible strength. Even their most ordinary named disciples are typically the top superpowered individuals in the Nirvana Realm, far surpassing even the ancestors in power.

“As for the sixth Mountain Lord, he hadn't been in power for long. Back when he was at the Nirvana Realm, he had ventured into a secret realm with the ancestor and they were very close. He even owed the ancestor a favor. So after he became the Mountain Lord, he gifted this sword-shaped token to the ancestor.”

This sword-shaped order contains the sword intent of the Sixth Mountain Master. Once the sword intent is released, no one in the Nirvana realm can withstand it.

"This, is the Su family's biggest trump card!!"

……ace remained deathly pale and his energy was depleted to the extreme."Goodness gracious, Blood Knife King, you're a genuine Six-Step Venerable, even your combat prowess rivals the Eastern Desolate Ven...
