Grandma Su nodded, "The reason why Shen family could stand on the top for decades is because of this G.o.d Spirit Root. Each generation, there will be no more than 2 male descendants who inherited G.o.d Spirit Roots and they are destined to be next patriarch of the family. They have to fight each other to gain the position the loser side will accept and work under the winner side. Though it is a compet.i.tion between 2 sides, it's always been a fair and healthy compet.i.tion. Therefore, Shen family rarely suffers from internal strife."

"This is also another reason, there is no family could surpa.s.s Shen family in terms of unity… Back to the G.o.d Spirit Root topic, the legend said the founder of Shen family is an Immortal from the Heaven realm. One day he came to the mortal world to gain experience and met a beautiful mortal woman. They have fallen in love with each other at first sight and become a husband and wife afterward."

"With a difference in status, the founder can't bring her back to the Heaven realm because his family won't accept their relations.h.i.+p thus, he decided to destroy his Immortal power and live with his wife in the mortal world forever. There is a record in Shen family explaining about the G.o.d Spirit Root, it said whoever inherited G.o.d Spirit Root they could achieve the Immortal and reach the G.o.dhood."

"Furthermore, they won't have a bottleneck problem as most of the cultivator has. Most importantly, they will have a high attainment with every elemental, it could be said they can learn any martial arts without care about compatibility much. In the past, Shen family is strongest in martial power, and the most strongest cultivator always been Shen family members."

Grandma Su paused for a moment and turned to look at Shen Tianyun before she said further, "Now, do you understand why would other families fear Shen family and wanted to destroy your Spirit Root?"

Shen Tianyun nodded his head, he understood everything now. If everything is true according to the legend, it was no wonder Zhao and Lan family didn't hesitate to destroy his Spirit Root. They wanted to eliminate the potential threat in the future.

Although Shen Tianyun couldn't imagine how powerful of one peak cultivator was, from this incident, he could easily see that this peak cultivator alone definitely has the ability to destroy their families or else they probably won't bother to destroy his Spirit Root, after all, he is a one-man without any support.

"Then why was Shen family has fallen?" He was curious about this since the day Grandma Su told him about the great 9 martial families. Since Shen family was the strongest, why would they have fallen?

Grandma Su let out a cold snorted, "Hmph! It was because those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds colluded together to destroyed Shen family!" This was the first time Shen Tianyun has seen her angry like this.

"I have already told you about the great 9 families in the past right? There were Shen, Zhao, Yang, Ye, Su, Dongfang, Lan, Li, and Song ordered by martial powers. Among these families, Shen, Yang, and Dongfang family were in good terms with each other. Meanwhile, Zhao, Ye, and Lan family were allies with each other."

"The demise of Shen family started with the alliance between Zhao, Ye, Lan, Li, and Song family. This group of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds using the underhand method to poisoned your Great Grandfather who was the patriarch at that moment."

"Including of your Grandfather's incident which left Shen family only has one G.o.d Spirit Root cultivator in the younger generation, it was your Granduncle, Shen Qinghai. They use this chance to jointly siege Shen family and prevented Yang and Dongfang family from helping them."

"Your Great Grandfather who was in a peak of Domain Realm didn't hesitate to burn his life force to destroy the enemy which lead to the complete annihilation of Ye, Li, and Song family afterward. Your Granduncle perished in this battle as well. Zhao and Lan family has suffered from the loss of their patriarch and started to decline from then on." Grandma Su explained.

Shen Tianyun sucked in a cold breath, he thought that he had overestimated the peak cultivator already but the reality is beyond his imagination to a large extent. In a dire situation, he still could destroy 3 families!!

With a frown on his face, he asked, "Since father knows that he couldn't be with this Lan Qingcheng, why would he still insisted to be with her? Isn't this too stupid?"

He laughed coldly in his heart, he always believed this Shen Qingshan was very stupid. And now, after knowing the relations.h.i.+p between Shen and Lan family, he even more loathing this man further. It could be said Grandma Su and Shen Tianyun's current troubled situation was coming from the stupidity of this Shen Qingshan.

Grandma Su smiled faintly, "Maybe it is because of the Shen family's DNA in your father's body. Similar to the founder, when he fell in love with a woman, he can disregard everything including his family to be with his loved one. Perhaps, Shan'er is very stupid in your eyes but you never know what is it like to fell in love with someone deeply."

"In another world, you were alone and didn't have a family so you probably don't understand much about it. You can ask that little girl Xueyue later, if she is willing to disregard her family for you or not. Maybe her answer can make you understand something about it." She said in a relaxed voice.

Even though what Grandma Su had said wasn't wrong entirely, Shen Tianyun still felt ridiculous about this. Disregard everything? Then why did Lan Qingcheng still obeyed her family in the end?

He let out a cold laughed slightly before asked further, "What about Su family, Grandma? Since Shen family was strongest at that time, why didn't Su family allow you to be with Grandfather?"

Grandma Su had already expected Shen Tianyun to asked this question, she replied with a smile, "Su family always takes a neutral stance and never side with any family. They were very stubborn and refuse to rely on anyone, except one time. At that time, Su family facing a financial crisis and on verges to go bankrupt. Among the great 9 families, Zhao family was strongest in terms of finances, they had proposed this marriage to Su family. My father, a patriarch at that time had been pressured from every direction, in the end, he decided to marry me to Zhao family."

"Being a woman in a huge family like this, your life doesn't belong to you from the day you have been born into this world. It is the old tradition from the ancient era, a woman has been used as a sacrifice for the so-called greater good for their family. I think you have seen this kind of situation before right? There were a few women who can escape from this fate, some were strong enough to defy it, some were lucky enough to escape like me, some chose to die to end this fate."

"When your Grandfather and I had been brought back to our family after escape for a while. My father and Shen family's patriarch had discussed this matter together and wanted to accept our relations.h.i.+p. However, the rule is the rule, in the end, we had been punished as I have told you before. After that, Shen family helped Su family to solve their financial crisis. This is also one of the reasons why Zhao family holding grudge against Shen family. As for why Su family didn't help Shen family, I don't know about it either." Grandma Su explained.

Shen Tianyun sighed helplessly, of course, he had seen this kind of situation before where their family forced a woman to married for benefits. He had tried to put himself into those woman's shoes before, and he has concluded if it were him, he will fight until he dies.

"Grandma, how can I recover this Spirit Root?" Put everything aside, he asked. The priority for him right now is to recover this Spirit Root.

Grandma Su looked at him with a confused expression, "This is why I am very confused when I noticed a Spiritual Qi from you. Technically, there is no way to recover it and you shouldn't be able to cultivate it in the first place. There must be something in your body to help it recover. Your Spirit Root still didn't fully recover, this is why you are stuck at stage 4 for quite some time now." She said.

Shen Tianyun frowned, he said in his mind, "System, did you help me recover my Spirit Root?"

『The host's Spirit Root has not been completely destroyed and can recover by improving the host's const.i.tution attributes.』 The system answered.

Shen Tianyun understood, he asked further, "Then when I can completely recover it?"

『Since the host's const.i.tution attribute has reached rank A, the requirement has been met. The system has estimated that the host's Spirit Root will completely recover in 5 days. The host can use [Heavenly Spirit Root Recovery Pill (S)] to recover it immediately. The host can upgrade the Spirit Root further by improving a const.i.tution attribute into rank S.』

Shen Tianyun was overjoyed, he only needed 5 days to completely recover his Spirit Root and he could upgrade it to the next rank. This is undoubted, the best news for him. He was so frustrated for some time now, seeing Lin Xueyue's talent he couldn't help but feel depressed.

"Grandma! I can completely recover in the next 5 days." He said in an excited voice.

Seeing his excited expression, Grandma Su smiled gently, "Good! Without a doubt, you will definitely reach the Domain Realm." This is also good news for her. Shen Tianyun will have a better chance to take revenge for her.

"Grandma, is it will become a problem if Su family discovered the 'Mirage Shadow' movement technique from us?" Shen Tianyun asked, since this movement technique is an inheritance of Su family, he didn't know whether they will allow him and Lin Xueyue to use it.

"There probably no problem for you since you are half of Su family member, but for that little girl Xueyue, I'm not sure about it." Grandma Su's words made Shen Tianyun speechless for a while.

Grandma Su smiled, "You don't have to worry, though it's been several years now but I believe Dongfang family should be more or less the same as in the past. They're said to be righteous ones along with Yang family. Even if she were discovered, I don't think they would do anything on Lin Xueyue."

Shen Tianyun nodded, he could only put this aside now and hoped that they will be as Grandma Su said.

"If what you've said is true, why did Dongfang Mengqi have promise to married Dongfang Mengrou to Lin family? Isn't Lin family is only a merchant family?" He asked further.

Grandma Su thought for a bit before replied, "I have some doubts about it too, the legendary Dongfang Mengqi always been the upright one. She won't force her descendants to a pit of fire for sure. The only possibility is, Dongfang family probably indebted to Lin family or Zhao family."

"Zhao family?" Shen Tianyun was puzzled, why would Zhao family has something to do with this.

Grandma Su nodded, "If I guessed correctly, Lin family should be a subsidiary of Zhao family. Their history is not that long and always been a merchant family. You can ask for more detail from Lin Xueyue." She said.

Shen Tianyun felt a headache incoming, he needed to be more careful with his next move.

"Thank you, Grandma. I've opened my eyes today. This information is very important to me." He said earnestly.

Grandma Su smiled warmly and stood up, "Wait a minute." She then walked to the closet and took out the old metal box that Shen Tianyun had seen it once before.

Walked back to the table, she put it down and took out 2 jade ornaments from the box. Shen Tianyun remembered it, the necklace is 'Heart of Sword' and the bracelet is 'Divine Phoenix bracelet'. It was Shen family and Su family heirlooms respectively.

"I think it's time to give these heirlooms for you. You can give it to Yan'er and Xueyue." Grandma Su said softly and put both of them in Shen Tianyun's hands.

Looking at the exquisite blue jade necklace and the beautiful Phoenix pattern scarlet red bracelet in his hands, a complication welled up in his mind. Technically, he isn't truly Shen family's descendant. The body is but the soul is not. He was lost for a word.

As if she saw through his mind, Grandma Su smiled warmly, "I understand what you think right now. Whether you are a descendant of Shen and Su family or not, it depends on your heart, not your body and soul. Take your time to think about it."

Shen Tianyun nodded his head, "Thank you, Grandma. I will go back now." He bid farewell to Grandma Su and left the room with the 2 heirlooms.

Grandma Su picked up the family photo from the box. There were Shen Qinghan, Shen Qingshan, an infant Shen Tianyun and Grandma Su in it. She caressed the photo, her gaze filled with tenderness and reminiscence.

......

Back to his room with a heavy heart, Shen Tianyun leaned on the head-bed and pondered. His understanding of the great martial family were improved greatly. With this, he could determine something out of it and it would benefit his plans.

Knock! Knock!

The knocking sounds woke him up from his thoughts, he walked to the door and opened it. Liu Feiyan in pink pajamas appeared on his sight.

"What are you doing?" Liu Feiyan asked while walking into the room. A wisp of sweet fragrance immediately a.s.sailed his nostrils and reminded him, he didn't have a 'great time' with her for some time now.

Without saying anything Shen Tianyun quickly carried her to the bed and put her down before moved himself into a top position.

Caught off guard, Liu Feiyan let out a scream for a second before her lips had been sealed by Shen Tianyun's lips. His tongue quickly invaded her little mouth and started searching for a sweet nectar.

Liu Feiyan's mood has changed from a surprise into a pa.s.sion in a span of 5 seconds, she quickly responded him with her tongue, and gradually turned into a fiery entanglement in her beautiful mouth. Sticky sounds continuously resounded as they breathed

Only when it became hard to breathe and when there was the worry that the lack of oxygen might take effect did Shen Tianyun release his mouth from her flushed face. Liu Feiyan's lips were already a little red and swollen, her eyes became unfocused as she had sunk into the depths of love and l.u.s.t.

A short moment later, their pajamas flew out of their bodies. Liu Feiyan's perky mound appeared before his eyes, a little pink cherry already erected hard.

"So beautiful." Shen Tianyun praised, even though this was not the first time to see this beautiful scenery, he still impressed by her seductive figure and never get enough of it.

Liu Feiyan's eyes filled with l.u.s.t and love, she seemed to forget about the shyness. Hearing her man praised, she felt very happy and became slightly bashful.

Shen Tianyun lovingly fondled every inch of her tender flesh and put her nipple into his mouth, nibbling and sucking to his heart content. Her soft and elastic texture of them made him unable to part with.

His other hand was not idled either and slowly moved towards her secret garden. The moisture of that place made him surprised once again, this time seemed to be wetter than the last time.

Parting with her lump of tender flesh, he kissed every part of her skins tracing downwards to her flooded sweet cave and impatiently tasted her sweet nectars. His actions caused Liu Feiyan moaned involuntarily.

After a while, he couldn't endure it anymore and quickly find a condom that he had prepared beforehand. He was about to put it on his rod, Liu Feiyan had stopped him. He looked at her in confusion.

"Hubby…let Yan'er serve you, okay?" Her voice was incomparably seductive. How could he have the heart to reject a lady request? Shen Tianyun immediately lying on the bed waiting for her.

Liu Feiyan moved her body into a position, she staring at the huge rod in front of her, it was twitched from time to time. This was the first time for her to see it this close, her face grew redder and slowly grabbed its shaft.

Feels her warm and soft hand on his rod, Shen Tianyun let out a low groaned. Liu Feiyan slowly pumped it for a while before mustered her courage and put it in her mouth. With her sloppy skills, she moved her head up and down, her tongue playing with the head of his rod. She was too focused on her duty and didn't saw a satisfied smile on his face while he looked at her.

"Is it good?" Parting with his rod, Liu Feiyan asked her man. A saliva still flowing out of the corner of her mouth.

Shen Tianyun looked at this G.o.ddess with pa.s.sionate eyes, he nodded, "Good. I almost reached the climax." He praised.

Liu Feiyan smiled in satisfaction and was about to put it back into her mouth, Shen Tianyun has stopped her.

"Yan'er, let us get to the main course." He grinned l.u.s.tfully, without waiting for her to reply, he pulled her to the upper part of the bed and quickly put the condom on his rod. Teasing the entrance of the sweet cave for a second, he thrust into the narrow gap until his length hit the end of her cave, Liu Feiyan couldn't help but released a loud moan.

The pa.s.sionate sounds reverberated through the room, the fiery night didn't stop until the next morning.
