Chapter 114: Ancestral Ritual Cultivation, Another Breakthrough!
The time came for the day of the ancestral ritual.
The old mansion of the Frost Wolf Clan was located deep within the Frost Wolf Forest.
This was a family affair, attended only by the Gray Wolf Knight from Frost Wolf Ridge.
And aside from the most loyal vassal, the Gray Wolf Knight, David was the only descendant of the Frost Wolf Clan left.
However, this time David also brought along Liya, Amy, Reina, Cynthia, Hill, and Annie—his six wives—to participate in the ancestral ritual together.
Only members of the Frost Wolf Clan could participate in the ritual.
Undoubtedly, this was also recognition of their status, as David directly inscribed his six wives into the family tree.
Normally, this world adhered to monogamy.
But now, with David being the only one in the Frost Wolf Clan, he naturally wrote the family tree as he wished.
Liya, Amy, Reina, Cynthia, Hill, and Annie exchanged glances.
They could all see excitement and gratitude in each other's eyes, as this was the biggest recognition of their status.
The Gray Wolf Knight watched this scene with some helplessness, but he did not intervene and instead felt secretly gratified.
He also hoped that Young Master David would quickly extend the branches of the Frost Wolf Clan, a mission he once sought to fulfill by looking for suitable young women in the Northern Lands.
Now, Young Master David had six wives.
Though the stronger a knight's power became, the lower the chances of offspring being born.
But with six wives, surely one of them would have the fortune of bearing an heir for the Frost Wolf Clan!
Gradually, the sky dimmed.
In the night sky, a full moon hung high, illuminating the earth once more.
When the full moon rose, that was the start of the ancestral ritual.
David looked up at the sky, where the full moon was brighter than ever before.
Suddenly, he thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival from his previous life, wondering if today was this Otherworld's version of the festival.
However, this was not the time for such thoughts.
David was to hold a solemn ancestral ritual under this high-hung full moon night.
He would open the mysterious and sacred family tomb, enter it, and receive the blessing of his ancestors!
After the ritual began, David, cloaked in silver-white, held the Frost Staff while reciting ancient prayers.
The voice echoed continuously in the air, as if awakening the slumbering earth, drawing all the moonlight towards the tomb.
The radiant moonlight illuminated the path to the tomb.
As the ritual proceeded, the mysterious runes on the Ice Crystal Tomb's gate suddenly glowed.
The next moment, the gate slowly opened, releasing chilling cold air.
Outside, it seemed to hide a world of ice, threatening to seal everything with frost!
The family members participating in the ritual entered the tomb one by one, offering carefully prepared tributes to their ancestors:
hunted beasts, rare gems, and Frost Wolf pelts symbolizing family honor.
Afterward, they would bow before the ancestral statues, expressing gratitude for the continuation of their bloodline and commitment to the future.
Entering the tomb, David immediately felt a chill.
Even he could feel such cold, so others undoubtedly sensed its terrifying cold aura even more strongly.
However, they only ventured into the outermost chamber holding the ancestor statues, so the chill wasn't unbearable.
After the rituals were complete.
The Gray Wolf Knight, Amy, Reina, Cynthia, Hill, and Annie exited the tomb, leaving only David and Liya behind.
"Let's go further," David said.
"Alright."
Liya nodded, following behind David.
Both possessed the Frost Wolf Bloodline, unafraid of the cold.
However, to venture deeper into the tomb, simply resisting the cold was not sufficient.
The further they went, the more they felt a terrifying oppression.
"Could there really be a Tier Six Frost Giant Wolf inside?"
David couldn't help but speculate.
Even he felt an oppressive aura.
He even started to suspect it might be a Tier Seven Frost Giant Wolf!
Luckily, this oppressive aura didn't seem to attack those with the Frost Wolf Bloodline.
Though the pressure was intense, they could still proceed steadily forward.
Who knew how far they walked?
The narrow passage seemed endless.
When David was still holding his doubts, it suddenly opened up before him.
His gaze swept the area and found himself in a cavern.
Looking ahead, he paused and his eyes slowly widened.
Inside the cavern ahead,
there was an immense skeletal structure as if sculpted from ice crystals, emanating the terrifying oppression!
"Tier Seven, this is the skeleton of a Tier Seven Frost Giant Wolf!"
This thought emerged in his mind, his surprise deepening.
A presence of Tier Seven was exceptionally rare in this world resembling the End of the Dharma Era.
No one knew what lay beyond Tier Seven.
And now, he had actually seen a real Tier Seven Frost Giant Wolf's skeleton!
"Young Master David."
Liya's face was also filled with shock.
"Yes, this should be the treasure of the Frost Wolf Clan," David replied.
He then surveyed the area.
Suddenly, he noticed a box among the Frost Giant Wolf's skeleton, possibly containing the Wizard artifact he sought!
David's eyes lit up, and he prepared to step forward.
Yet, as he moved, something seemed to trigger a mechanism within the Frost Giant Wolf's skeleton, causing the energy to coalesce.
It suddenly transformed into a cold beam, rushing towards David and Liya, saturated with the potent aura of the Frost Giant Wolf.
An alarm rang in David's mind, and he concentrated his Fighting Qi in his hands, managing to control the beam.
But Liya couldn't dodge it.
She could only watch as the cold beam entered her body.
