Overriding the Heaven

Chu Yan understood how the Bai Family rose to prominence. At the same time, he understood the difficult situation they were facing.    

The existence of the void crack represented a great opportunity that existed side by side with danger.    

The Bai family profited from this, and the descendants of Fuze.    

And most admirable of all, they were not interested in developing their own families.    

After their clan grew up and their cultivators became stronger, they would shoulder the entire city's safety on their shoulders.    

"Now that the Bai Clan has been weak for so many years, there's finally someone who can't stand it anymore and wants to get their hands on us." Chu Yan sighed.    

"Yes." A look of shame and indignation appeared on Bai Jian's face, "It's a pity that I'm not strong enough to protect the void that my ancestor left behind."    

"Right." Chu Yan asked, "Does the Door of Limits know of the existence of these void cracks?"    

"They know that our Bai Clan has access to treasures of heaven and earth, but they don't know that this channel is a spatial rift.    

This secret is only known by the upper echelons of our Bai Clan.    

From their tone, it seems that they think that our Bai Clan knows the location of a secret realm and want our Bai Clan to hand over the secret realm to them.    

Heh, that was quite a beautiful thought.    

If this spatial rift was given to them, then not only would the entire Bai Clan have to move away, but if they were not careful and caused the spatial storm within the fissure, the fissure would no longer be stable, and might even expand. Let alone a few acres of land, the entire Boat City might even be swallowed up by it. "    

Then, he made a gesture towards Chu Yan and said, "Master Chu, please come here. I will take you to see the current stock of the Bai Clan. If there is anything else, we can talk about it as we walk."    

The treasury that the Bai Clan kept their treasures in was also right next to this courtyard.    

The door to the treasury was square, almost as if it was made of molten iron, without even a crack.    

Bai Jian walked up and placed his hand on it. After a moment, ripples began to appear on the door.    

At the same time, Chu Yan felt waves of fluctuations of Spiritual Qi.    

"It looks like a gate, but it's actually a teleportation formation." Chu Yan immediately saw through the mystery and showed an expression of admiration, "Then that means the treasury is not inside the building that is the Bai Clan. The ancestor of the Bai Clan is really considerate."    

Chu Yan's praise and eyes immediately made Bai Jian feel like he had met his best friend, and he was also proud of it.    

"Yes, this is indeed how our ancestors thought." Bai Ju invited Chu Yan into the treasury, and explained at the same time, "The transfer array engraved on the door, if it wasn't for the specified personnel of the Bai Clan, no one else could activate it.    

With that, even if someone attacked and did not know the secrets behind it, they would only see an empty room after forcibly breaking the door to the treasury. They would not even know that the Bai Clan was hiding somewhere else. "    

While they were talking, the two of them had already passed through the teleportation circle.    

Although it was still a room, Chu Yan could feel that he was definitely not in the same treasury as before.    

Inside the treasury of the Bai Clan, there were many wooden shelves.    

It was obvious that no one had entered the treasury in a while. A layer of dust that could be seen with the naked eye was floating on the floor and on the wooden shelves.    

A look of shame and nostalgia appeared in Bai Jian's eyes.    

However, he quickly collected himself and led Chu Yan to a corner of the treasury. He pointed to one of the shelves and said, "Master Chu, all the treasures that our Bai Family has that can increase the element attribute are all here."    

Chu Yan followed the direction pointed out and immediately saw different colored ores. The big ones were like the fists of adults, while the small ones were like quail eggs. They were sparkling in colors and were neatly placed on the shelves.    

Adding up the total, it would probably only be around twenty or so.    

However, the moment Chu Yan saw these ores, he felt an aura that was different from the treasures in the past.    

After staring for a moment, Chu Yan looked at Bai Ao and said, "Is that what you guys brought out from the void rift?"    

"Yes." "Every time the clan members come in and out, they can bring one or two ores. If they're lucky, they can bring three ores. However, sometimes they don't have any luck, not even one ore."    

However, ever since what happened back then, there have been no one in the clan who was able to enter the void crack.    

Chu Yan nodded and scanned the ores one by one.    

There were around twenty ores, but there were only six colors in total.    

After Chu Yan asked, his guess was confirmed.    

There were a total of eight colors in the ore, corresponding to the eight elements.    

Currently, there were only six different colored ores, and the reason for this was that two of them had already been used up.    

Although Bai Qi said that Chu Yan could take away all of the remaining twenty or so ores in the Bai Clan to show his sincerity, Chu Yan only took two of them in the end.    

The reason why he took the ore was not to absorb it, but to study the mysteries of the ore.    

As for taking out two pieces, that was because he was worried that if one piece had problems, he would have to keep the other one.    

After all, if something were to happen at that time, he wouldn't have to come over to the Bai Clan again, right?    

He still wasn't at the Violet Palace Stage yet, but he still didn't have the ability to tear apart the void.    

After looking through the crack in the sky and seeing what was hidden in the treasury, Chu Yan already had a full understanding of the Bai family's secret.    

The two of them passed through the teleportation circle and returned to the small building where the Grand Elder was.    

"Master Chu, what do you think?" Seeing Chu Yan return, Huang Ze asked impatiently.    

His heart was set on the future of the Bai Clan. At this moment, he looked even more anxious than the Supreme Elder of the Bai Clan and the clan leader of the clan, Bai Ju.    

"I can consider it." Chu Yan nodded at Huang Ze, then looked at the Supreme Elder, "Absorption is very convenient."    

Hearing his words, the Grand Elder and the Patriarch couldn't help but be stunned.    

When the clansmen used this ore, they would have to carefully grind it into powder and place it in the pill furnace. With the help of other herbs, the ore would be boiled for dozens of days before being refined into a pill.    

Moreover, after consuming it, the clansmen would have to spend several dozen days in seclusion before they could absorb the elemental energy from the ore and use it for themselves.    

In terms of time, it would take close to a hundred days to complete the absorption process.    

As for the Bai Clan, it was impossible for them to prepare all day long for this pill. Thus, even if they had the conditions, taking a pill every two years was their limit.    

Chu Yan actually used the word "convenient" to describe it, which confused them a little.    

Chu Yan naturally wouldn't explain to them that if he wanted to devour the energy in the ore, he only needed to 'devour' it according to the literal meaning.    

Therefore, Chu Yan changed the topic and asked, "Where is the group of cultivators from the Ji Sect now? Is the City Lord not going to interfere in the matters of your Bai Family?"
