Upon arriving at the Wei Clan, with the usual welcoming feast and dust-clearing ceremony completed, Wei Jing then happily invited Yu Ziqing to visit the Book Collection Tower for guidance.
Previously, such a thing was absolutely impossible.
But now, amidst great changes, Wei Jing was counting on Yu Ziqing's promise to truly help the Wei Clan find a new path.
The most core parts of the family's classics were useless, and the rest even more so.
Yu Ziqing didn't look at those precious classics but instead went through the genealogy of the Wei Clan.
Especially the detailed records of each important mber of the family and each Family Head of every generation.
Starting from Wei Jing, tracing back, there was actually not much difference, all generations explored and eventually died in the Extrely Cold Forbidden Land.
The family openly recorded this as a sacrifice for the family's cause.
Unfortunately, others thought they were pioneers opening a path to the west of Dazhen, so they respected them greatly.
The First Generation Family Head of the Wei Clan, according to the records, initially, just like those cultivators who went to the Hengduan Mountains seeking fortune, wanted to find so treasures there.
Later, by a stroke of luck, he passed through the Hengduan Mountains and discovered the other half of the territory claid by Dazhen, that vast world as described in the records.
There he found his mission, explored the Extrely Cold Forbidden Land all his life, found the initial relatively safe path, and established the early thods for the Wei Clan to identify and avoid dangers.
By sheer chance, he obtained the first power, which transford into the Wei Clan's inheritance.
Yu Ziqing knew this was not Wei Jing keeping things hidden, but this hidden version of the genealogy was recorded this way, not ntioning anything about who the First Generation Family Head t.
So parts were even personally written by the First Generation Family Head.
This person was truly ruthless, selling out his yet-to-appear descendants completely.
Yu Ziqing saw that in the end, the First Generation Family Head entered the Extrely Cold Forbidden Land when his lifespan was about to end and completely disappeared.
At that ti, it even caused so things to be lost.
And the subsequent generations of Family Heads all imitated the First Generation Family Head, but with an additional procedure.
When the current Family Head went to the Extrely Cold Forbidden Land to sacrifice themselves, the next generation Family Head would go along to prevent anything potentially unsaid or the loss of final insights, among other things.
Upon seeing this, Yu Ziqing imdiately and keenly perceived the problem.
No one saw the First Generation Family Head die, as neither living nor dead.
As for the extinguishing of the soul lamp?
Don't be ridiculous.
The soul lamps of this era, perfected generation after generation, could still be exploited and were even being abandoned as new similar magical treasures were being researched.
The soul lamps of that era were full of holes like a sieve, with holes big enough for people now to walk through easily.
It was likely the First Generation Family Head of the Wei Clan didn't actually die.
This guy was so ruthless to sell out his descendants, would he willingly face death?
Others may not know what was going on, but would this guy, who signed a contract with the Yang Devil and even cast a curse, be deceived?
From the second generation Family Head of the Wei Clan, in each generation, soone would see them off to their sacrifice.
The case was the sa for Wei Jing.
Yu Ziqing pondered that if the First Generation Family Head of the Wei Clan didn't die, then the "cause" the Wei Clan spoke of might actually be true?
Were the words the First Generation Family Head told his descendants also true?
Only the benefits of this cause were not for the descendants of the Wei Clan to enjoy but for the First Generation Family Head himself.
With the connection of bloodlines, continually gathering broken fragnts, constantly fusing them.
The Yang Devil wanted to use the Wei Clan to gather the broken ranks, but no matter how it was gathered, it must pass through the Wei Clan's bloodline before reaching the hands of the Yang Devil.
If the First Generation Family Head of the Wei Clan didn't die, as long as bloodlines were involved, he would be the first handler, not an issue of priority, but of procedural order.
Yu Ziqing finished reading the genealogy and continued to look at other records of the Wei Clan.
The more he read, the more he felt that his speculation might be true, but before, Wei Jing and the others, unaware of the truth, could not make this kind of speculation.
If the First Generation Family Head faked his death, why didn't he do so openly?
Why leave such a flaw?
There was only one possibility. The sacrifice thod of subsequent Family Heads ant that even if the First Generation Family Head did it, death was inevitable, and he had no choice but to fake his death in this manner.
He even deliberately let so things be lost as a lesson for future Family Heads to rember.
This could ensure that future Family Heads would not err in their sacrifices and could personally teach the next generation Family Head, passing it on generation after generation.
Yu Ziqing continued examining the detailed information of other Family Heads.
Quickly, he found a record in the ninth generation Family Head.
During the ninth generation, the Wei Clan ran into so trouble, lost so items, and over the years, so ritual materials beca extinct, resulting in great issues with performing rituals.
Then, on the ninth generation Family Head's last trip to the Extrely Cold Forbidden Land, when the tenth generation Family Head returned, he found in the Extrely Cold Forbidden Land items left by the seventh generation Family Head, which contained that lost inheritance.
Inside, there was ntion of how, after processing so items, they could serve as substitute materials.
The luck was truly incredible.
If it weren't for Yu Ziqing's own research in rituals, and him having personally seen the great effort Mo Huitou, the expert in rituals, had put in to provide substitute material options for each ingredient, he would have believed that the Wei Clan purely had good luck.
Those materials, once obtained, couldn't be directly used as the original materials.
