第四百九十三章 血脉留史书

"I think the Five Elders' Association is likely after these bones," Master Changlang Shangkong said in a solemn tone.

"Bones? What do they want with those bones?" Li Fan was somewhat shaken. He had never expected that under his residence, the Ten Thousand Immortals Island could be hiding so many ancient cultivators’ remains. At the same time, he couldn't understand Master Changlang Shangkong's answer.

"This is beyond my knowledge. Perhaps the Five Elders' Association can bring the dead back to life? If those original transmitters of teachings were to awaken and see the current state of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, they might directly storm into the alliance headquarters and fight to the death," Master Changlang Shangkong sneered.

"Haha, friend, be cautious with your words." Li Fan didn't respond but changed the topic instead.

"The transformation of Cunyun Sea, the original transmitters of teachings, the origin of Ten Thousand Immortals Island..."

"All these are matters of utmost secrecy. Based on my understanding of current cultivators, even those Golden Core Emperors might not know as much about these secrets as you do."

"Who exactly is Master?" Li Fan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"What could be my origin? I'm just an ordinary cultivator," Master Changlang Shangkong said with a dismissive tone.

Seeing Li Fan's disbelief, Master Changlang Shangkong proudly said, "Let me tell you, in this world, as long as something happens, it leaves traces."

"It doesn't mean that erasing the memories of cultivators can completely bury historical truths."

Master Changlang Shangkong stood up abruptly. "There is no secret that cannot be told to others. I won’t hide from you, Li Fan. I am a historian named Master Changlang!"

After speaking, his entire body seemed to surge with intense energy.

Li Fan, who was familiar with the cultivation art of Bloodline History, was surprised to find that the blood force within Master Changlang Shangkong's body was incredibly mixed. Some were extremely vigorous, like newborn infants, while others were quite ancient, as if they had existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

The blood force gushed out from Master Changlang Shangkong’s body and formed a magnificent red river above his head.

Li Fan carefully observed each drop of the crimson blood. In every drop, there were countless images and sounds flickering.

The older the recorded time, the higher up it was.

The red river was vast and grand, recording so much information that even with Li Fan's current spiritual soul strength, he felt dizzy after observing for a moment.

He retracted his gaze in awe. Master Changlang Shangkong noticed Li Fan’s reaction and slowly withdrew the external phenomenon.

"This is the Bloodline History Book, which our Changlang family has been compiling through generations," he said.

"Since our ancestor, Master司马Pai created this Bloodline History technique, our Changlang family has taken it upon ourselves to meticulously record the history of the Xuanhuang Realm."

"Even if we die, we will not regret it. We have passed on to the 56th generation."

"56 generations?" Li Fan was slightly stunned and about to ask more when Master Changlang Shangkong nodded.

"Yes, although practicing Bloodline History compresses our lifespan to that of ordinary people, our Changlang family has never retreated," he said.

"What is there to fear from death? As long as we have descendants in the world, the Bloodline History Book will automatically seek a suitable successor to awaken and continue its historical mission."

Master Changlang Shangkong spoke with righteous conviction. Li Fan was moved by his words.

Li Fan had always admired historians. When he was still the Grand Master of Great Xuan and could do as he pleased, all the officials and ministers in court were bowing before him, fearing to utter a single word against him.

Only the historians of Great Xuan dared not fear his butcher's knife. Even if they were threatened with their entire family’s lives, these people still truthfully recorded Li Fan’s destruction of the palace and oppression of the empress dowager in history books.

After killing some people and finding that later generations continued to do so, he just let it be.

He never expected there to be historians in the Xuanhuang Realm as well. With a mix of respect and intrigue, Li Fan realized how important this cultivator was.

The many historical records of the Xuanhuang Realm were hidden behind a veil of mystery. Even some had been intentionally concealed. Trying to find out what happened in history just by reading ancient texts was like a fool’s errand.

With Master Changlang Shangkong, a living historian, present, things were different.

Li Fan deeply understood the importance of this cultivator and started chatting with him again. Master Changlang Shangkong, who had a straightforward personality, spoke freely as they got to know each other better.

Li Fan learned that while the Changlang family could use their Bloodline History Book to record history through their bloodline,

the Xuanhuang Realm was vast. It was impossible for one person to know everything about it.

Thus, the Changlang family also mastered the technique of splitting blood to create avatars, allowing them to travel and record history more comprehensively.

This was why the Changlang family’s lifespans were generally shorter. The Bloodline River recorded countless pieces of information from the Xuanhuang Realm's past.

To prevent any accidental loss that could erase decades of work,

the ancestors of the Changlang family created the technique "One is All." As long as there was a single descendant with their bloodline, the Bloodline History Book would never disappear.

Li Fan asked about the definition of "Changlang family bloodline."

Master Changlang Shangkong revealed an amused smile. Even if one's ancestor had only a thin connection to the Changlang family, they could still bring back the Bloodline History Book. Over thousands of years, the Changlang family’s ordinary descendants were scattered throughout the Xuanhuang Realm.

In short, as long as all the people in the Xuanhuang Realm weren’t completely wiped out, the Bloodline History Book couldn't be eliminated.

"The Changlang family truly is extraordinary! Excellent skills and techniques!" Li Fan praised him.

Li Fan asked Master Changlang Shangkong for a communication spirit talisman, carefully storing it in his storage ring.

"Master Changlang, we must keep in touch," he said warmly as they chatted for a long time before reluctantly parting ways.

When the avatar returned to the old site of Ten Thousand Immortals Island, the main body in Shi Lin State found that the communication spirit talisman was constantly flashing. Li Fan felt somewhat puzzled because normally, such a talisman would only be used by cultivators within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for internal communications.

Now that the Five Elders' Association had taken over Ten Thousand Immortals Island and dismantled its administrative system, who would use this method to contact him?

Curious about it, Li Fan took out the communication spirit talisman and sensed it. After a moment, his expression turned strange.

"Command me to serve as the acting island master of Ten Thousand Immortals Island and be responsible for rebuilding the immortal city in Cunyun Sea."

"The location is directly above the former site of Ten Thousand Immortals Island."

"Execute immediately without delay."

Li Fan read it several times before confirming that this wasn't a joke. (End of Chapter)
