tering that rift back then, after delving deep into the Dream Abyss, encountered that ancient powerful being from the Nightmare Beast!He must have fought a powerful cultivator from the Ancient Realm!J...Fantasy fans, the latest chapter of "Daojie Tianxia" is here!

Within seven layers, ten thousand rays of light!

Before Tie Chengyun's eyes stood a colossal, towering structure that stretched endlessly into the distance. The frame was composed of ninety-nine levels.

Each shelf has dozens of grid-like compartments.

At the very bottom, there are at least a thousand grids.

And as you go higher, the number of grids decreases, level by level, until you reach the highest ninety-ninth level, where there is only one grid left.

Each grid is not very large, and almost all of them contain a bead the size of a lychee and a jade slip!

These beads, although the same size, are in a variety of colors, each with a different sheen.

And each bead emitted one or more rays of light, forming halos that enveloped the beads.

At a rough glance, the number of beads on the entire rack must exceed one hundred thousand!

So many beads, although each one individually emits a faint glow, when gathered together, they form countless rays of light, illuminating this space with an exceptionally brilliant brilliance.

Under the illumination, Tie Chengyun's eyes gradually began to shine.

And looking at these beads, a proud expression couldn't help but appear on his face!

These beads are one of the secrets of his family.

He really wanted to tell all the Iron Family members, and everyone in the world, so that people would know about the strength and mystery of his Iron Family.

But it's a pity, the Tie family has always had strict rules since ancient times.

Except for the head of the household, only the head of the household can reveal these secrets to the next head of the household when they are dying.

Even if the next head of the family practices the Bloodline Art and cannot open this seventh layer, then the next head of the family will not know about the seventh layer either, nor will they know the secrets here.

These beads are called bloodline beads.

Each one represents a clan or the strongest bloodline of a race from the celestial realm!

All the beads are completely formed from blood essence!

The Tie family's bloodline art is unparalleled, being the only one of its kind in the vast Zhutian Collection Domain. It has been passed down through generations!

Since the Tie family possesses such a mysterious art, they naturally wouldn't just treat it as a cultivation method. Instead, they would use it to collect the bloodlines of all races across the myriad domains.

Their method of collection is not complicated either, they only need the blood of someone corresponding to their tribe.

Of course, not every ethnic group's bloodline can coalesce into a pearl.

The higher the clan member's seniority, the more concentrated their bloodline power, and only then can such a bloodline bead be formed!

And the bloodline orbs collected by the Iron Clan, although they may not include all clans from the myriad realms, at least account for over 70 percent of them.

Although the subsequent head of the Tie family continued to collect them, it was a pity that as time passed, the bloodlines of any clan would gradually become diluted.

Even if someone is of a higher status, even if you drain them of their blood, it's still very difficult to condense it into a blood pearl.

After collecting the bloodline beads, the ancestors of the Tie family, according to their clan's bloodline art, divided various bloodlines into certain levels and standards, arranging them in categories here.

A ninety-nine tiered framework, with each eleven tiers representing a level, which is the number of lights emanating from the bloodline beads themselves.

The lowest level bloodline emanates one ray of light, while the highest level is the single bloodline bead at the very top of the shelf, radiating nine rays of light!

It may seem like there's no great use in collecting these bloodline beads, but the Tie family can use their bloodline arts to re-integrate these bloodline beads into members of corresponding clans, or even those from different clans!

No matter what ethnic group or social stratum, bloodlines are highly valued. However, they believe that their own bloodline is innate and cannot be changed.

Even if some people want to change their bloodline, it is impossible for them to do so. Over time, they begin to care less about their bloodline.

Such consequences would cause their ancient, orally transmitted martial arts, spells, and supernatural powers to be completely unable to be performed.

This is also why many magical techniques and cultivation methods gradually disappear.

Because the concentration of their ancestors' bloodlines was high, the techniques and supernatural powers they created naturally became unfeasible to perform as the concentration of their bloodlines weakened.

If they knew that the Tie family could reintegrate the strongest bloodline of their ancestors into their bodies, they would go absolutely crazy and do anything to obtain it.

Of course, the Tie family could also have anticipated this, which is why they established a family rule stating that only the head of the household can practice the bloodline art and be privy to the secrets of the Tie family. All other members are forbidden from doing so.

These bloodline beads, if used well, could allow the Tie family to rise instantly and become a powerful force.

But if they are used for bad purposes, then it will bring disaster to the Iron family.

And the Tie family, although they mastered the Bloodline Technique and could change the bloodlines of their own family members, precisely because this ancestral decree existed, they deliberately allowed the bloodlines of their clan members to gradually weaken, making fewer and fewer clan members capable of practicing the Bloodline Technique.

Only the most outstanding members of the clan can be chosen, such as Tie Rumann. When deciding to cultivate them into the future head of the clan, the current head would secretly intervene to increase their bloodline concentration.

When Tie Ch'eng-yün learned of these things, besides feeling proud to be a member of the Tie family, he also had a question.

If the head of the household himself cannot cultivate his bloodline technique to a higher level, or meets with an accident and falls, wouldn't the Iron family's secrets be lost, and would no one else ever know

Not until he became the head of the family did he realize that there had always been an ancestor in the Tie family!

As for which generation this ancestor belonged to and how powerful he was, Tie Chengyun and Yunchi had no idea. But if the situation he worried about actually happened...

Alternatively, when the Iron family faces a life-or-death crisis, this ancestor will naturally make a move to ensure the continuation of the Iron family and its secrets.

Today, Tie Chengyun came here to see this ancestor!

After glancing at these blood jade, Tie Chengyun walked to the end of the seventh-level space, kneeling respectfully on the ground and said in a low voice, "Ancestor, Chengyun requests an audience!"

After a moment, a voice old and weary echoed from the void, "What is it"

Tie Chengyun simply stated that Tie Ru Nan had disappeared.

This is also the reason why he is not worried about Tie Ruxuan at all.

Firstly, Tie Ru'nan's life stone remains unbroken;

Secondly, Tie Ruonan is the next head of the family. Within her soul, there is a divine consciousness left by the ancestors.

Once an iron-like man is searched for his soul, or truly encounters danger, this divine consciousness of our ancestors will naturally come to his aid.

After Tie Chengyun finished speaking, a long silence followed before that aged voice spoke again, "She is in Yaoyue City, within the city lord's mansion. Although she is currently under some restrictions, she is not seriously harmed."

> When necessary, one can naturally escape and return.

"What!"

Ancestors' answer left Tie Chengyun stunned.

He originally thought that Tie Ruonan had been taken away by the Xu family, but he didn't expect it to be the City Lord's Mansion!

However, since the ancestor knew this so clearly and even gave a guarantee, Tie Chunning's heart became even more solid. He bowed his head again and said, "I understand. It must be that the people from Jiuxianjiao are still unwilling to give up our Tie family's brewing rice, so they kidnapped Tie Runan in order to blackmail me."

"But, it's been half a month since the man was taken away. Why is there still no movement from the City Lord's Mansion"

This time, the voice of the ancestor no longer sounded. Tie Chengyun also understood that this was something he had to deal with himself.

Within seven layers, ten thousand rays of glow!

Before Tie Chunyuan's eyes stood a massive, towering structure, its sheer size impossible to comprehend at a glance. The frame consisted of ninety-nine tiers.

Each shelf has several grids on it.

The bottom layer, at a minimum, has thousands of cells.

The higher you go, the fewer squares there are, decreasing layer by layer. By the time you reach the 99th floor, there is only one square left.

Each grid is not very large in volume, and inside there is almost a lychee-sized bead and a jade slip!

These beads, although the same size, are in a variety of colors and emit different glows.

And each bead emitted one or more rays of light, forming halos that enveloped the beads.

At a rough glance, the number of beads on the entire rack must be over one hundred thousand!

So many beads, although each one individually emits a weak light, when gathered together they form thousands of rays of light, illuminating this space with an extraordinary brilliance.

In the glow of the light, Tie Chengyun's eyes gradually began to brighten.

And looking at these beads, a look of pride involuntarily appeared on his face!

These beads are one of the secrets of his family.

He really wanted to tell all the Iron Family members, and everyone in the world, so that everyone would know about the strength and mystery of his Iron Family.

But it's a pity that the Tie family has always had strict rules.

Except for the head of the household, only the head of the household at the time of their death can tell these secrets to the next head of the household.

Even if the next head of the family practices the bloodline technique and cannot open this seventh layer, then the next head of the family will also not know about the seventh layer or its secrets.

These beads are called bloodline beads.

Each one represents a clan or the strongest bloodline of a race from the celestial realms!

All the beads are completely formed from blood essence!

The Tie family's bloodline art can be said to be uniquely favored, and in the vast諸天集域, only their family possesses it, passed down through generations!

Since the Tie family possesses such mysterious arts, it is natural that they would not simply treat it as a cultivation method, but rather use it to collect the bloodlines of all races in the myriad realms.

Their method of collection is not complicated either, they only need the blood of someone from a corresponding clan.

Of course, not every tribe's members' blood can be condensed into a pearl.

The higher the seniority of a clan member, the more concentrated their bloodline power, and only then can such a bloodline orb be formed!

And although the Tie Clan's collection of bloodline beads doesn't necessarily encompass every race in the myriad realms, it boasts at least 70% of them.

Although subsequent heads of the Tie family continued to collect them, it's a pity that with the passage of time, the bloodline of any clan would gradually become diluted.

Even those of the highest standing, even if their blood is drained completely, it would be very difficult to condense it into a Blood Vein Orb again.

After the bloodline beads were collected, the ancestors of the Tie family, based on their clan's bloodline techniques, classified various bloodlines into different grades and standards, arranging them in categories here.

Ninety-nine levels, each eleven levels constitute a rank, that is, the number of lights emitted by the bloodline beads themselves.

The lowest level bloodline emanates a single ray of light, while the highest level is the lone bead on top shelf emitting nine rays of light!

It sounds like collecting these bloodline beads doesn't seem to be of much use, but the Tie family can, through their bloodline arts, reintegrate these bloodline beads into the bodies of corresponding clans, or even people from different clans!

No matter which group or clan, bloodlines are extremely important. However, they believe that their own bloodlines are innate and cannot be changed.

Even if someone desires to change their bloodline, it is beyond their reach. Over time, they gradually become indifferent to the concept of bloodlines.

Such consequences would cause their ancient, legendary martial arts and magical powers to be completely unusable.

This is also why many magical arts, supernatural powers, and cultivation methods gradually disappear.

Because the bloodline concentration of those who came before was high, the techniques and supernatural powers they created, as bloodline concentration weakened, naturally became unable to be performed.

If they knew that the Tie family could reintegrate the strongest bloodlines of their ancestors into their bodies, they would go absolutely crazy and do anything to obtain it.

For this, the Tie family could naturally think of it as well, which is why the Tie family established a family rule that except for the head of the family, all other members of the family were not allowed to practice the bloodline art and were not allowed to know the secrets of the Tie family.

If these bloodline beads are utilized well, they could allow the Tie family to rise instantly and become a powerful force.

But if it is used for evil purposes, it will bring disaster to the Iron House.

While the Tie family possessed the skill of bloodline manipulation, capable of altering their family members' bloodlines, it was precisely because of this ancestral tradition that they deliberately allowed the bloodlines of their clan to gradually weaken. This resulted in fewer and fewer members who could practice the art of bloodline manipulation.

Only those with outstanding talents among the clan members can be chosen, such as Tie Rumen. When it is decided to cultivate him into the next head of the family, the current head will secretly intervene to increase his bloodline concentration.

When Tie Chengyun knew about these things, besides feeling proud to be a member of the Tie family, he also had a question.

If the head of the family himself cannot cultivate his bloodline techniques to a higher level, or if he meets an accident and falls, then wouldn't the secrets of the Tie family be lost, and would no one ever know

Not until he became the head of the family did he realize that there had always been an ancestor in the Tie Family!

What generation this ancestor belonged to, and how powerful he was, are unknown to Tie Chengyun. However, if the situation he fears really occurs.

Or, when the Tie family is facing a life-or-death crisis, this ancestor will naturally take action to ensure that the Tie family and the secrets of the Tie family can continue.

Today, Tie Chengyun came here just to meet this venerable ancestor!

After looking over these bloodline beads, Tie Chengyun walked to the end of the seventh-floor space, knelt down respectfully, and said in a low voice, "Ancestors, Chengyun requests an audience!"

After a moment, a creaking voice echoed from the void, "What is it"

Tie Chengyun simply stated that Tie Ru Nan had disappeared.

This is also why he was not worried about Tie Ruonan at all.

First, Tie Ruonan's life stone is unbroken;

Furthermore, Tie Ruxuan, the future head of the family, has a divine consciousness left by her ancestors in her soul.

Once someone searches for information within Tie Ru Nan's soul, or if they truly encounter danger, this divine consciousness from our ancestors will naturally come to their aid.

After Tie Chunyun finished speaking, a long time passed before that aged voice spoke again, "She is in Yaoyue City, in the city lord's mansion. Although she is currently under some restrictions, she is unharmed."

> When necessary, one can naturally escape and return.

"What!"

Ancestors' answer stunned Tie Chengyun in an instant.

He originally thought that Tie Ru'nan was taken away by the Xu family, but he didn't expect it to be the City Lord's Mansion!

However, since our ancestors were able to know this so clearly and gave a guarantee, Tie Chengyun's heart was even more reassured. He bowed his head again and said, "I understand. It must be that the people from Jiu Xian Jiao still haven't given up on my family's rice wine business, so they kidnapped Tie Ruman to pressure me."

But, it has already been half a month since the man was taken away. Why is there still no movement from the city lord's mansion

This time, the voice of the ancestors no longer sounded. Tie Chengyun also understood that this was something he had to handle himself.

After all, what the ancestors truly cared about was the transmission of the Iron Family's secrets.

And the operation and safety of the Tie family, these things, of course, need to be responsible for by the head of the family!

Therefore, Tie Chengyun respectfully said, "Thank you, Ancestor. Tie Chengyun takes his leave!"

Out of the ancestral hall, Tie Chengyun sighed and said, "I'm not suitable for coming out to save Ruonan. It seems that we can only let Gu Si take action!"

If Gu Si could bring Ru Nan back this time, then I would tell him about the doubts Ru Nan found regarding his bloodline!is very short, Elder Lü Fengzong coldly said: "Time's up, everyone stop drawing!"As he spoke, the elder waved his sleeve, instantly breaking the seals he had previously laid. This revealed every seal...
