The bloodline is recorded in the history books

"I think the Five Elders Association is likely after these bones," Sima Changkong said in a deep voice.

"Bones? What do they want with them?" Li Fan was shocked to learn that beneath the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, where they lived daily, there might be countless remains of ancient Cultivators. At the same time, he was puzzled by Sima Changkong's answer.

"That's beyond my knowledge. Maybe the Five Elders Association can bring the dead back to life? If those original Dharma Transmitters woke up and saw the current state of the Myriad Immortals Alliance, they'd probably storm the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Headquarters and fight to the death," Sima Changkong sneered.

"Heh, Fellow Daoist, watch your words." Li Fan didn't respond but changed the subject.

"The Congyun Sea and Mountain changes, the original Dharma Transmitters, the origin of Ten Thousand Immortals Island…"

"These are all extremely secret matters. Based on my understanding of current Cultivators, even those Soul Transformation Immortal Lords might not be as knowledgeable about these secrets as you are, Fellow Daoist."

"What exactly is your background?" Li Fan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What background could I have? I'm just an ordinary Cultivator," Sima Changkong said dismissively.

Seeing Li Fan's disbelief, Sima Changkong said proudly, "Let me tell you, Fellow Daoist, in this world, everything that happens leaves traces."

"Erasing Cultivators' memories doesn't mean you can completely bury the truth of history."

Sima Changkong stood up abruptly: "I have nothing to hide. To be honest, Fellow Daoist, I, Sima Changkong, am a historian!"

As he spoke, the blood and Qi in his body seemed to surge violently.

Li Fan, who cultivated the Creation Furnace Art and was extremely familiar with blood and Qi power, was surprised to find that the blood and Qi within Sima Changkong's body were incredibly mixed.

Some were very vibrant, like a newborn baby.

But others were quite ancient, as if they had existed for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Blood and Qi power burst forth from Sima Changkong's body, forming a magnificent River of Blood above his head.

Li Fan looked closely and saw countless images and sounds flickering within each drop of red blood.

The higher up, the more ancient the recorded images became.

The River of Blood was vast and majestic, containing so much information that even Li Fan, with his current Divine Soul strength, felt dizzy after observing for a moment.

He was inwardly terrified and averted his direct gaze.

Seeing Li Fan's reaction, Sima Changkong slowly withdrew the external phenomenon.

He said slowly, "This is the Bloodline History Book, cultivated and compiled by my Sima clan for generations."

"Since our ancestor Sima Pei created this Blood History Cultivation Technique, our Sima family has taken it as our duty to record the history of the Xuanhuang World in detail."

"Even if we die, we have no regrets. It has been passed down for fifty-six generations."

"Fifty-six generations?" Li Fan was slightly stunned and was about to ask.

But Sima Changkong nodded and said, "That's right. Although cultivating Blood History compresses one's lifespan to that of a Mortal, our Sima clan has never flinched."

"What is there to fear in death? As long as there are descendants of the Sima clan alive, the Bloodline History Book will automatically find a suitable host to Awaken and continue the great work of recording history."

Sima Changkong said with a righteous expression.

Li Fan listened and couldn't help but feel deep respect.

Li Fan generally admired historians.

Back when he was the Grand Preceptor of Great Xuan and did as he pleased, all the civil and military officials groveled under his tyranny, not daring to say a word of opposition.

Only the historians of Great Xuan were unafraid of his blade.

Even when threatened with the lives of their entire clan, they still recorded in the history books how Li Fan disrupted the palace and oppressed the Empress Dowager.

After Li Fan killed some and found that later historians still acted the same, he let them be.

He never expected that in the Xuanhuang World, there would also be historians.

While feeling respect, Li Fan's mind stirred.

Much of the history of the Xuanhuang World was hidden in mist.

Some parts were even deliberately concealed. Trying to understand what happened in history by merely consulting ancient texts was nothing but a fool's dream.

But with Sima Changkong, a living history book, things were completely different.

Li Fan deeply realized the importance of this Cultivator before him and began to chat with him actively again.

Sima Changkong's nature was quite straightforward, and as he grew familiar with Li Fan, he spoke without reservation.

Li Fan gradually learned that although the Sima clan could record history through the Bloodline History Book,

the Xuanhuang World was vast beyond measure. How could one person know everything in the world?

Thus, the Sima clan also mastered the Divine Ability of Blood Separation Incarnation, allowing them to separate part of their blood to create Clones.

Many Clones traveled everywhere to record history as detailed and truthfully as possible.

That was why the lifespans of the Sima clan were generally not long.

The River of Blood recorded countless pieces of information from the Xuanhuang World's past.

To prevent accidents that would waste the efforts of dozens of generations,

the ancestors of the Sima clan painstakingly created the secret technique 'One is All'.

As mentioned earlier, as long as there was Sima clan Bloodline in the world, the Bloodline History Book would never be cut off.

Li Fan then asked about the definition of 'Sima clan Bloodline'.

Sima Changkong showed a smug smile.

As long as one's ancestors had Sima clan blood, no matter how diluted, the Bloodline History Book could be manifested again.

Over thousands of years, the Mortal descendants of the Sima clan were scattered throughout the Xuanhuang World.

In other words, unless all Mortals in the Xuanhuang World were slaughtered,

the Bloodline History Book could never be completely eliminated.

"The Sima clan is truly extraordinary! Excellent methods, excellent Divine Abilities!" Li Fan praised upon hearing this.

Li Fan asked Sima Changkong for a communication talisman and carefully stored it in his Storage Ring.

"Fellow Daoist Sima, we must keep in touch often." Li Fan chatted enthusiastically with this historian of the Cultivation World for a long time before finally leaving reluctantly.

When the Clone returned to the site of Ten Thousand Immortals Island, the main body in Shi Lin Province found that the communication talisman issued uniformly by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was blinking continuously.

Li Fan found it strange because normally, this talisman was only used by Cultivators within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance system to contact each other.

Now that Ten Thousand Immortals Island had been taken by the Five Elders Association, the entire administrative system of the Congyun Sea had been wiped out in one fell swoop.

At this time, who would contact him in this way?

With this doubt, Li Fan took out the communication talisman and sensed it.

After a moment, his expression turned strange.

"Ordering me to act as the interim island master of Ten Thousand Immortals Island, responsible for rebuilding the Congyun Sea Immortal City."

"The location is directly above the former Ten Thousand Immortals Island."

"Execute immediately. No delays allowed."

Li Fan read it several times before confirming that the other party wasn't joking with him.
