Chapter 220 From Beyond The Heavens

As the wind whistled, Ni Yinghong closed her eyes slightly. She did not know where the great ancestor was bringing her to, but she made a guess.

Sure enough, when Ni Xuetian stopped, they had already arrived at a ravine.

“Yinghong, you’re about to enter the Ni family’s forbidden area. Among your peer group with the generation name ‘Hong’, you’re the first one who’s allowed to enter,” Ni Xuetian stated, then he uncovered the disguise and entered first.

Ni Yinghong inhaled deeply to calm herself down before she entered.

At the Chaos Cave’s entrance, Ni Xuetian retrieved an odd whistle and began blowing it. Strangely enough, no sound emitted from the whistle.

Nonetheless, it did not take long for wind to gust out of the cave. The big yellow dog stuck its tongue out and licked Ni Yinghong intimately. “Big Yellow, we’d like to enter.” Ni Xuetian cleared his throat. Although he was a Supreme Great Ancestor, it was the exact reason he dared not enter the Chaos Cave by himself.

The big yellow dog blinked and barked, then it ran into the cave.

Ni Xuetian pulled Ni Yinghong and followed closely behind the dog.

Once they went through the tunnel and arrived at the Land of Inheritance, Ni Yinghong’s eyes lit up because she instantly sensed how distinctive the place was. If one cultivated martial arts or picked up knowledge here, it would be much more effective than doing it in the outside world.

Ni Xuetian asked, “Yinghong, you want to know why we’re taking sides with He Liangce, right?”

“Yes, Great Ancestor. Lil’ Ming has shown extreme benevolence by helping our clan, and it won’t be too much even if you were to sell me to him. When He Liangce came, why did you suddenly…” Ni Yinghong immediately curbed her thoughts and voiced out. She soon blushed and could not finish her sentence.

“Silly child, you’re the Ni family’s daughter, so how can we sell you to someone else?” Ni Xuetian sighed. He shook his head and explained, “There’s a difficult reason behind our actions.”

“I’d like to hear the details.”

Ni Xuetian nodded. “The Ni family from Changlong and the He family from Linlang are the greatest families in the respective counties. Do you know where our legacies originated from?”

“According to records in our clan, they should be from the capital,” Ni Yinghong answered even though she was startled.

“Heh.” Ni Xuetian’s face twitched before he continued to ask, “Where did the inheritance of the imperial family from the capital come from?”

Ni Yinghong’s face changed. “Great Ancestor, please be more explicit.”

“The legacies of the Ni family and the He family have been pa.s.sed on for thousands of years. We’ve produced plenty of experts who were reputable in the world, but we’ve also had so little talent that we nearly became extinct. A normal aristocratic family wouldn’t have risen again if they were in such a state, but whenever our clans. .h.i.t rock bottom, the imperial family spared no effort in supporting us. With that, those who tried to replace us were overturned,” Ni Xuetian stated. He looked deeply at Ni Yinghong and questioned, “Do you know why?”

Ni Yinghong’s face took on a grave expression as she answered, “No, I don’t.’

“That’s because our respective ancestors sacrificed themselves in exchange for the opportunities for us.” Ni Xuetian had a bitter look on his face. He spoke in a deeper voice, “As the Ni family’s disciples, there are some things that we don’t get to choose.” Ni Yinghong looked up abruptly. “Great Ancestor, what things?”

“The beast tide,” Ni Xuetian replied to her seriously, “The beast tide takes place once in a hundred years, and the Humans will suffer a disaster once the tide breaks out. The Ni family and the He family are the ones who will put an end to the disaster.”

A thought crossed Ni Yinghong’s mind. “The immense forest?”

“Yes, it’s the Immense Forest Beast Tide.” Ni Xuetian turned to order, “Big Yellow, go and get the land that was left behind by our ancestor.”

Big Yellow opened its mouth and spat out a box.

“This is the Ni family’s real cultivation path. You were naturally gifted with mental power, so it’s time you took a look at it,” Ni Xuetian stated as he touched the box.

Ni Yinghong was about to open the box after she accepted it, but she raised a question, “Great Ancestor, where exactly did our clan’s inheritance come from?”

“From, beyond, the, heavens,” Ni Xuetian uttered word by word.

Ou Yangming read the books in the room one after another, and he quietly looked at their contents.

He sometimes furrowed his eyebrows, sometimes smiled, sometimes danced.

The so-called Suit Skill was a type of Runes Skill. The Runes Skill was incredibly mysterious, and its mysterious use was unparalleled.

In actuality, one could communicate with the mysterious power between Heaven and Earth by carving runes on a piece of equipment. As a result, the equipment’s attributes could be improved. Nevertheless, not all pieces of equipment could withstand the energy from runes. Besides, it was immensely difficult to engrave runes on a single piece of equipment, such that almost n.o.body could achieve it.

Therefore, people from the later generations split the runes and etched them separately on different pieces of equipment. If the distributed pieces of Rune Equipment were used individually, nothing fascinating could be seen; if two pieces of that equipment were put on a person’s body, magical energy would naturally be produced to upgrade the equipment set’s attributes.

Ou Yangming had a better understanding of Suit Runes after he read many books. Moreover, he was glad to find several drawing sheets for Suit Runes in the remaining books.

The runes that were recorded on the drawing sheets were the Ni family’s priceless treasures.

Each set of runes corresponded with a set of equipment. Some of them had many runes while some only had a few, and they all required different types of equipment. Despite that, it was unquestionable that the value of each set of runes was beyond one’s imagination.

After an unknown period, Ou Yangming’s eyes were bright and clear as he put down the book in his hands. He was eager to try.
