Chapter 250: Bloodline Ecstasy

Chen Wang’s words were somewhat ambiguous.

But it was obvious—he was in a very good mood!

As the head of the Chen family, seeing more descendants born meant only one thing: the clan was thriving. Especially with the family’s ancestor Chen Wansheng still alive to protect the ancestral grounds, there were no longer any worries about safety or growth.

And now, with someone like Chen Yang awakening the Primordial Ancestor Bloodline, things were looking brighter than ever.

Chen Wang, who had always preferred caution and stability, suddenly felt motivated. At the very least, he thought, he had to help Chen Fei gather enough resources to thrive.

Chen Fei didn’t read too much into Chen Wang’s hidden hopes. He was more focused on the treasure vault of the Chen clan in front of him—with a sense of eager anticipation.

Though the Chen clan kept a low profile, it was an ancient aristocratic family with a long lineage. The treasures hidden within its vaults were certainly not ordinary.

“Family Head!”

The elder guarding the treasure vault stood up quickly upon seeing Chen Wang approach, then looked toward Chen Fei.

“He’s the real Family Head now,” Chen Wang waved casually, not caring about titles.

“Greetings, Family Head!”

The elder quickly turned and bowed respectfully to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei sighed softly. “Family head is just a symbolic title for me from now on.”

“Very well! We’ll just refer to you as the young family head then,” Chen Wang replied with a grin.

Chen Fei didn’t object and turned his gaze to the Chen clan’s treasure vault.

Without hiding anything, Chen Wang brought him to a stone platform.

“This is our Chen clan’s treasure vault—and this formation is the official guardian mechanism,” he explained while placing his palm on the platform.

With a series of mechanical clicks and a loud rumbling, a glowing portal appeared before them.

“In times of danger, this mechanism can unleash an attack equivalent to the Earth Sovereign Realm,” Chen Wang casually added before stepping aside.

“I’ve already changed the access rights—you just need to place your palm on it.”

Chen Fei did as instructed, placing his hand on the stone platform.

A faint tingling sensation spread through his fingers, followed by a brilliant flash of golden light. The entire cave lit up, and ancient, archaic bloodline runes of the Chen family began to appear.

“Pure bloodline detected. Unit A-7 ready to serve the young master!”

With that crisp voice, a small boy dressed like a traditional servant suddenly appeared before Chen Fei, wearing a serious expression.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He had expected some kind of reaction from the mechanism due to Chen Fei’s awakened bloodline—but not this!

The guardian mechanism had directly taken human form and recognized him as master!

Chen Fei was surprised as well, but he quickly said, “Take me inside.”

Though he had claimed to be unafraid of Tian Mi in front of Chen Wansheng, Chen Fei knew better. That organization was a looming threat, and preparation was essential.

A-7 nodded and turned to lead him through the glowing portal.

Once Chen Fei entered, the cave returned to normal.

Chen Wang, now in a great mood, struck up a lighthearted conversation with the elder guarding the vault.

“Family Head, this is truly the Chen clan’s blessing! With the ancestral bloodline awakened, we finally don’t need to worry about our bloodline weakening!” the elder exclaimed excitedly.

Chen Wang stroked his beard. “Exactly. Once Chen Fei finishes choosing what he wants, I’ll have people spread the word. The appearance of the Primordial Bloodline might affect the next generation—even children born now might awaken their bloodline right at birth!”

What he said in passing, others took to heart.

The elder’s eyes lit up. His third son had just married—he’d definitely have to remind him. And his oldest son, even if he wasn’t that talented, was still healthy. He could at least contribute genetically. He’d have to push him too!

Inside the treasure vault, Chen Fei followed A-7 through a dazzling collection of artifacts, and his only thought was:

“I’ve struck gold.”

“Young master, all these items are treasures the Chen family has collected over countless generations. If anything catches your eye, feel free to take it,” A-7 said respectfully.

Chen Fei nodded.

There was a time when he fought tooth and nail for just a single supreme-grade spirit stone.

But here? Supreme-grade stones were tossed into corners like trash—no one even bothered with them!

Looking at the small mountains of them, Chen Fei didn’t hesitate and collected a portion immediately.

His storage space might’ve been small—but he had the Ziqing Palace!

Forget a few stones—he could easily carry the entire vault if he wanted to.

Supreme-grade spirit stones were incredibly useful—especially for things like opening ancient immortal dwellings. Having a few extra never hurt.

He continued deeper into the vault.

Everything inside was neatly organized.

Chen Fei headed straight for the pill section first.

With the Xu Tian Cauldron’s ability to refine and absorb, pills were the fastest way to improve strength.

However, he didn’t expect much. The cauldron was extremely picky, and he’d already collected many high-grade pills from the Heaven-Smiting Sacred Ground.

Still, he checked the shelves instinctively.

“Huh? A Nine-Turn Thunder Pill? Now that’s rare!”

Chen Fei picked up the pill, his eyes gleaming with delight.

This was a high-tier item—worth 5,000 contribution points at the Heaven-Smiting Sacred Ground!

No way he’d miss out—he pocketed it instantly.

With that momentum, he began thoroughly searching the area.

Time passed quickly as Chen Fei raked in one good find after another.

But he only took what he actually needed. He knew the Chen family still needed to develop, so he didn’t feel guilty for taking these treasures. But if he took everything, even Chen Wang might go nuts and fight him…

Reluctantly, he admitted it: Chen Wang was still his grandfather, after all.

Once he was done with pills, he skipped over the martial techniques section entirely.

With the Xu Tian Cauldron in his possession, martial skills meant almost nothing to him—they provided little to no benefit.

Instead, something else caught his attention: an area marked with Ancient Forbidden Lands.

Inside this section, items floated within energy shields, rotating slowly as if showcasing themselves.

As soon as he stepped in, he sensed something unusual.

But this time, it didn’t come from the Xu Tian Cauldron—it came from the Wufeng Greatsword!

Chen Fei followed the sword’s subtle vibration to one of the glowing displays.

Inside was a pitch-black, polished stone. Honestly, if this had been outside, Chen Fei probably wouldn’t have looked twice at it.

But the Wufeng Sword was trembling gently.

“A-7, take it out,” Chen Fei commanded.

A-7 lifted his hand and gently flicked his fingers. The protective barrier disappeared, and the black stone floated out.

The moment it emerged, it shot straight toward the Wufeng Sword like a magnet, clanging against it with a loud “clang!”

Chen Fei jumped, startled, and quickly looked at the sword.

The blade was vibrating. But there seemed to be a thin barrier preventing full integration.

Chen Fei raised an eyebrow, then immediately summoned the Yin-Yang Five Element Seal—Fire Mark.

Flames erupted from the Wufeng Sword, bathing the black stone in fire.

The stone softened and began to melt—flowing along the sword and forming strange runes that fused directly into the blade!
