I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

148: Could it be that all the chosen ones have come to my Shen family?Speaking of this, Eighth Ancestor couldn’t help but gasp in his heart, then continued.

”According to some records from that era, the Cangtian Army was almost wiped out during his time. Even the women and children of the Shen Family were killing Yao in the Heavenly Abyss, and the Yao Race’s royal Family was driven to absolute despair. As he said, ’No destruction, no construction; a place of death, then life.’ Since the Yao Race wants to kill, then let’s see who kills more!”

”During his lifetime, the Heavenly Demon Realm had repeatedly requested a ceasefire, which was an unprecedented act!”

”With such a temperament, your Sixth Ancestor is a born emperor!”

Ninth Ancestor looked at Shen Mie with deep admiration. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do it; watching so many clan members die one after another without even a frown.

After listening, Shen Nian looked at the man in green with a surprised expression.

Indeed, you can’t judge a book by its cover!

This Sixth Ancestor looked like a frail scholar heading to the capital for an examination, yet he was so fierce?

However, Shen Nian genuinely liked this personality... Eighth Ancestor withdrew his gaze and looked at the old man beside him, saying, ”Also, this is my Shen Family’s Fourth Ancestor. He doesn’t have as grand a reputation as the other Old Ancestors, nor did he perform many astonishing feats. Even his Cultivation was somewhat ordinary, but his strength lay in two words: ’steadfastness’!”

”From an ordinary clan member, he climbed step by step to the peak, repeatedly turning around death traps and achieving victory from defeat, and obtaining numerous Heaven-Defying Opportunities. He was skilled in too many things: formations, talismans, artifacts, pills, beast taming, and so on...”

”During the era when he led the Shen Family, completely opposite to the Sixth Ancestor, the Human Race suffered the fewest casualties, and there were the fewest wars with the Yao Race. That era was relatively much more peaceful...”

”Moreover, the Fourth Ancestor was also the Human Emperor of the Human Emperor Hall in that generation!”

”So our Fourth Ancestor is also known as the Spirit Emperor, Shen Li.”

”In the eyes of many of the Human Race, the Fourth Ancestor’s contribution was the greatest, after all, they did enjoy many years of stable life then...”

Shen Nian looked at the bald old man, who was biting his index finger, in surprise.

This sounds like a Chosen One!

Wait!

It seems the Sixth and Seventh Ancestors were also like that... Uh!

Could it be that all the Chosen Ones have come to my Shen Family!

This is too ridiculous!

The next second.

Shen Nian’s eyelids twitched, clearly seeing the Sixth Ancestor Shen Mie’s hand move down slightly, and then it stopped.

”Hmm, it’s just as you think. They are playing a game of chess at an unimaginably slow pace. It seems to be the special nature of this chess game. I once asked Nether Moon, and they had a big argument after they came in. The Fourth Ancestor scolded the Sixth Ancestor for being a butcher who only knew how to kill, and the Sixth Ancestor retorted that the Fourth Ancestor was soft-hearted. Their philosophies differed, and neither was pleased with the other.”

”Later, they even secretly fought several times on the back mountain of the small town, always ending up bruised and swollen. The Fourth Ancestor even cursed them as unfilial descendants or something. Later, they seemed to think fighting was meaningless, so they incorporated their respective Dao into the chess game to determine the winner...” Eighth Ancestor explained.

When he came in, they were already playing chess and hadn’t exchanged a single word.

He was just bringing Shen Nian to meet them.

Shen Nian fell silent upon hearing this, looking at the two motionless figures, as if petrified, and felt at a loss for words.

How old are they, still fighting... In their current state, Shen Nian figured he wouldn’t be able to have a proper conversation with them for a thousand years.

”Let’s go, we’ll go see the last two Old Ancestors. They are from ancient times. One of them is the most legendary figure in my Shen Family, but unfortunately...” Eighth Ancestor said, a hint of unwillingness and pain in his eyes, then turned around.

On the way.

Shen Nian thought of something and asked, ”Eighth Ancestor, why did you skip the Fifth Ancestor? Is he not in Cangtian Palace?”

”You won’t be seeing your Fifth Ancestor; he has a problem here.” Ninth Ancestor pointed to his own head, clearly understanding.

But the next second, that familiar sensation came from his backside. Ninth Ancestor immediately froze, his Face turning completely dark, an unprecedented sense of shame welling up.

Grandpa Eighth!

Is it really appropriate to show no Face in front of a Junior like this!

Alright, I won’t say anything, okay!

”You little brat, how dare you speak like that!”

”That’s your elder, are you looking for a beating!”

Eighth Ancestor put away the wooden ruler and tucked it into his waist, then turned and softly said to Shen Nian, ”Your Fifth Ancestor was born with a pair of double pupils, possessing Innate intelligence far beyond ordinary people. Perhaps he was too smart, which led to a demonic obsession. Sometimes even I can’t find him, so we won’t go...”

Shen Nian twitched the corner of his mouth, somewhat speechless.

So, there isn’t a single normal one?

Then what was he here to see?

Sightseeing?

Half an hour later.

At the rear of the small town, halfway up a snow-covered mountain.

Shen Nian felt the biting cold, looking at the mountain peak with a hint of shock.

His Physique was incredibly formidable, yet this temperature could actually affect him.

Beside him, Ninth Ancestor was carrying Eighth Ancestor, climbing the mountain with his head down. Eighth Ancestor shivered and said, ”Almost there. Up here is where your Third Ancestor lives...”

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

On the mountain peak.

The cold wind was biting, and as far as the eye could see, there were only glaciers, as if everything was frozen.

And there, a figure sat withered, as if having existed since ancient times, having endured countless years.

Shen Nian’s gaze sharpened, and the figure’s appearance gradually became clear. A sudden, inexplicable sadness washed over him, making his nose tingle.

This was a man so handsome he seemed like a demon, with a Face favored by the heavens. His blue long hair danced in the wind, and even his pupils were blue, making him look incredibly dashing, yet his eyes held a look of pain.

On his shoulder rested a blue butterfly, its wings covered in intricate divine patterns. Every flap added another degree of chill to this world.

Shen Nian instantly understood that the reason this mountain was frozen was due to this butterfly.

”This is my Shen Family’s Third Ancestor, Shen Lan!”

”He is one of the two people in my Shen Family whose talent is closest to the Progenitor, only slightly weaker than the Second Ancestor. His Cultivation speed is the fastest in the Shen Family: Foundation Establishment at three, Golden Core at five, Soul Transformation at twelve, and he began the Ascending Heaven Road at nineteen. He was once hailed as the greatest hope of the Human Race, with the potential for Immortal Ascension in the Mortal world!”

Eighth Ancestor slowly said after taking a deep breath, then patted Ninth Ancestor’s head, who very sensibly put him down.

Then, Eighth Ancestor showed a hint of emotion, his eyes filled with regret and a sigh.

”Alas, it’s a pity that the Third Ancestor fell in love with a Mortal woman, and was ultimately manipulated by the Heavenly Demon Realm. That Mortal woman was killed, and the Heavenly Demon Realm set up a net to trap the Third Ancestor.”

”Even a three-year-old child could see through this open scheme, but the Third Ancestor still went...”

”If the Second Ancestor hadn’t been there, the Third Ancestor would have likely perished in the Heavenly Demon Realm. But after being rescued, his Dao Heart was dead, and his Realm plummeted again and again...”

”Until he fell to Reversion to Void, and his Divine Physique was also shattered by the Heavenly Demon Realm...”

”Otherwise...”

Ninth Ancestor showed a hint of anger, gritting his teeth and saying, ”The Yao Race should all die!”

At this moment, Shen Nian was stunned, his gaze falling on the painting scroll held in the large hand in front of Shen Lan. In the painting was a playful woman holding a candied haw, with a crescent moon earring dangling from her earlobe, looking very beautiful.

”It’s her!”
