Awakening of Insects, February 2, a key date in the lunar calendar

The earth began to thaw, the weather gradually warmed up, and the farmers said goodbye to their idle tand started working in the fields.

But for the people of Xiling, today was an especially important festival, because today was the day the Tang Clan’s Wancheng Treasure Ship returned. It wasn’t only the Tang and Mi clans who were clever in this world. When Xiling’s two largest clans saw their power surge from their marittrade, smaller clans naturally followed in their footsteps.

They built their own ships, followed the treasure ship out to sea, thinking that even if they couldn’t partake in the feast, they would at least get the soup. But the treasure ship’s capacity was too big; even the crumbs were too much for these smaller merchant ships to take in.

Therefore, to this day, the so-called maritfleet only consists of these two Wancheng Treasure Ships.

One belongs to the Tang Clan, the other belongs to the Mi Clan. Both treasure ships set sail at the stime, but their return date varies. Sometimes the Tang Clan returns earlier, sometimes the Mi Clan, but it doesn’t affect the positions these two treasure ships hold in the heart of the Xiling people.

A man who does not return to his hometown is like a night walker. When these sea farers, adrift for two to three years, spot the familiar Xiling Bridge and the familiar buildings of Xiling, feelings of homesickness would surge forth.

The deck, hundreds of meters long, was filled with homesick sailors. Behind them, a vast amount of gold in the sunlight dyed the entire treasure ship golden.

The Lingjiang River flows from the west of the city to the east, a journey of nearly a hundred miles. Cheers echoed along the shore, as if all the people of Xiling had appeared on both banks to welcthe treasure ship.

The first half of the welcoming party was a celebration for the common folks The far-flung sailors would toss gold coins and jade articles toward both banks. These treasures, creating dazzling arcs in the sunlight, finally landed in the hands of the crowded spectators on the shore.

The treasure ship seemed to transform into a moving fountain, spraying golden “holy water” on both banks.

It is not until the latter half when the spectators seemed forced to stop, unable to cross the threshold, because that’s where the port is located.

Xiling has two massive ports, namely the Fenling Port and the Yongning Port. The Tang Clan controlled the Yongning Port. In order to welcthe treasure ship, the Yongning Port had not accepted other ships for three days to clear the entire port. All dock workers were gathered at the shipyard, ready to repair and maintain the Wancheng Treasure Ship.

As the most important asset of the Tang Clan, no amount of attention would be too much. Therefore, on this day, not only would the Clan Head, the Sect Head, and the elders appear in Yongning Port. Even heads of the Clan’s branches showed up at the port.

Of course, standing at the forefront was the person in charge of this maritfleet, Tang Zuo.

Because the massive harvest from this journey was closely related to his strategies.

“Gold bars, gold bricks totaled 114,500 kg.”

A total of 110,720 pieces of jewels and precious stones.”

“Ceramics, 8659 pieces.”

“Spiritual plants and treasures, 238,450 strains.”

“Martial arts and combat techniques, 766 at the Mortal Rank, 104 at the Yellow Rank, and five at the Xuan Rank.”

“Eight people at Fierce Realm set sail with the Tang Clan fleet, and eight returned. 1700 people at the Mortal Realm set sail, and 1520 returned.”

“Above is the harvest of this Wancheng Treasure Ship.”

Tang Sen Manor

Tang Luo did not participate in the return ceremony of the treasure ship, but was called back to the mansion by Xu Shuhui.

“Dear son, have you awakened your bloodline talent?” Xu Shuhui almost pounced on Tang Luo, gripping his arms with excitement.

Tang Luo glanced at the letter paper spread out on the table nearby, then looked at the excited Xu Shuhui and asked, “What is bloodline talent?”

With excitement, Xu Shuhui took Tang Luo’s hand and sat him down at the table, handing him the letter.

Tang Luo took the letter and read it, but seemed even more confused. He put down the letter and asked, “What does ‘the bloodline Spirit Rhinoceros tree grows a particularly tender new branch’ mean?”

Seeing Tang Luo’s calm demeanor, Xu Shuhui’s gaze darkened. If her son had truly awakened his bloodline talent, he would not still be in the Mortal Realm. This good fortune apparently belonged to another branch.

“Good son, do you want to hear the story of your mother’s family?” Holding Tang Luo’s hand, Xu Shuhui began to recount the story of the Yuanzhou Xu Clan like a storyteller.

Back in ancient times, monsters and beasts were rampant, and the people struggled to survive.

A swordsman named Xu Feng emerged from Yuanzhou. He was bom with the Taiching Divine Pupil, which can see through illusions to the truth and control Spiritual Energy.

After reaching the Fierce Realm at the age of twenty-two, he roamed three thousand miles across Zhongzhou, killing beasts and healing the sick.

His divine eyes could see a person’s potential. He gathered seventy-two disciples, each awakened with the power of their bloodline, and they were known as the Seventy-two Kings.

Leading the seventy-two kings, Xu Saint fought in the Demon Mountain, destroyed ten major Demon King nests, and brought reprieve to the human race.

However, years of fierce battle exhausted his potential. A King Realm expert lived for less than two hundred years.

On Xu Saint’s deathbed, he used his divine vision to guide a sacrifice to a Spirit tree, which was then planted within the Xu Clan.

This is the Spirit Rhinoceros tree of the bloodline. From that generation onward, for every member of the Xu Clan who awoke their bloodline, a tender shoot would grow on the tree in correspondence.

The letter from Yuanzhou today said that half a year ago, a tender shoot sprouted from the Spirit Rhinoceros tree, causing a great stir among the Xu Clan elders. They searched the entire clan but found no one who had awakened, so they turned their attention to the daughters and sons-in-law who had been married out.

The so-called bloodline warriors are those who have awakened a special bloodline. The bloodlines are divided into heaven, earth, and human ranks. Each bloodline warrior, if trained properly, can breed a King Realm.

For the true top tier clans, bloodline King Realms are the real foundation and power, so they pay extra attention to them.

“I understand the power of the bloodline.” Tang Luo nodded. He finally understood why his mother was so excited. But in his heart, he also made a judgment.

Indeed, he seemed to have awakened a kind of bloodline. It might even be the so-called Taiching Divine Pupil, but ultimately his luck wasn’t good enough.

The star within him is a dead object, heeding the command of his Sea of Consciousness. To activate the Sea of Consciousness, he needed to consolidate the first star.

When he first reached the Mortal Realm, because he had fought a big battle with the disciples of Martial Saint Mountain, his spiritual power fell back to Mortal Realm level. But during the subsequent recovery, he imagined taking the star out.

This was the first command the star received. That’s why it started to call upon all his spiritual power to form the first star. But at that time, he didn’t have enough spiritual power to form a star of Mortal Realm, which was why he passed out from the star draining his energy.

The star that appeared later proved that a new energy appeared within him to supplement the missing spiritual power. After that, he could also see through the cultivation of others.

This has many similarities with Xu Feng’s Taiching Divine Pupil, such as seeing the true nature of warriors. But perhaps because the star drained his potential, his Divine Pupil could only see spiritual power. The many other divine abilities were not shown at all, and his ability to absorb spiritual power hadn’t increased at all.

Even if he claimed to be a bloodline warrior, others wouldn’t believe him, would they? Tang Luo thought to himself..
