Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Fu Changsheng followed behind, cautiously observing his surroundings. The trees around varied in shape; some had twisted branches resembling dragons and snakes, while others bore bark covered in mystical runes, faintly exuding an ancient aura. Occasionally, low growls of Exotic Beasts could be heard echoing through the valley from afar.

After a long time.

The Cyan-faced White Fox emerged from the ground, barking at Fu Changsheng:

"Found it!"

Fu Changsheng felt a surge of joy, following the Cyan-faced White Fox into the underground.

Descending several hundred zhang deep.

The Cyan-faced White Fox finally stopped before a mountain wall. It barked incessantly at the wall, while Fu Changsheng sensed for a while but detected nothing unusual.

However.

The Cyan-faced White Fox probably chose correctly.

Immediately, merging the index and middle fingers of his right hand to activate Divine Clarity and Bright Eyes Divine Techniques, a streak of white light shot from his eyes, directly illuminating the stone wall. In an instant, some faint patterns emerged on the wall; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an Invisibility Array:

"Indeed, it wasn’t mistaken!"

This should be where the Cloud-Breaking Tree is planted.

Fu Changsheng patted his storage bag, with a flash of Dawn Light revealing an Array Plate in his hand. Upon careful inspection, the runes on the Array Plate and those on the stone wall were strikingly similar.

However.

He did not immediately activate the Array.

Previously assuming that the Celestial Yin Tribe’s mission was individually assigned and non-intersecting was merely his personal speculation, unverified.

Rushing in recklessly.

If somehow the Celestial Yin Tribe has set traps inside.

He may accidentally lose his life.

Immediately, his mind stirred:

"Exchange intel"

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A great surge of yellow light flowed.

Subsequently, lines of text appeared:

[At your location, a Cloud-Breaking Tree is planted behind the stone wall. However, an ancestor of the Celestial Yin Tribe placed a Flying Feather Beast to tend the Cloud-Breaking Tree, which over hundreds of years has advanced to Tier Three. But due to a Forbidden Skill placed by the Celestial Yin ancestor, it cannot act against those with Celestial Yin bloodline]

Flying Feather Beast?!

Fu Changsheng was genuinely stunned for a moment.

If he remembered correctly, the Flying Feather Beast’s excrement is exceptionally effective for cultivating High-Tier Spiritual Plants, and the species is incredibly rare, scarcely found outside, revealing the strength of the Celestial Yin Tribe’s ancestor.

Luckily, he exchanged the intel beforehand.

Mind prompted a shift.

He immediately patted his storage bag, Dawn Light flashed, and a bottle of Essence Blood landed in his hand. Accompanied by the spell of the Thousand Faces Technique, his facial features swiftly transformed, even his aura now identical to Jin Sang:

"This way"

"That Flying Feather Beast shouldn’t recognize it, right"

Considering it could tend the Tier Three Spirit Plants, hunting it would be wasteful.

Taking a deep breath.

Changsheng clasped his right hand, following the ancient Array Plate’s inscribed Dharma Seal, channeling streams of Spiritual Power into the Array Plate.

Buzz!

The Array Plate trembled slightly, light radiating intensely, beams of light shooting out from the Array Plate, resonating with the stone wall’s Invisibility Array.

Then.

Rumble!

Suddenly the stone wall began to tremble.

And then.

With a boom!

The light curtain cracked open instantly.

As the Array opened, a ferocious aura surged forth, akin to a primordial beast’s roar from ancient desolation.

Then, a gigantic Flying Cloud Beast appeared before him.

This Flying Cloud Beast was covered in black scales, gleaming with metallic luster, sporting a sharp horn on its head, enshrouded in threads of Spiritual Qi. Its four hooves struck the ground, producing deep rumbling sounds, each step causing the earth to quake slightly:

"Roar!"

The Flying Feather Beast roared furiously at Fu Changsheng.

Changsheng sensed something and realized the beast was already at Mid-Stage Tier Three cultivation, surprisingly not afraid, yet slightly uneasy about whether it would act.

"Roar!"

The Flying Feather Beast’s nose twitched.

Suspiciously scanning Fu Changsheng, its previously aggressive gaze instantly softened, no longer as menacing as before.

"It worked indeed!"

Fu Changsheng was secretly pleased, attempting communication with the Flying Feather Beast:

"Open your mind, once we form a Contract, I’ll assist your cultivation to a higher Realm, even Transformation won’t be difficult."

The Flying Feather Beast had been confined in this area since young.

Bound by the Forbidden Skill laid by the Celestial Yin ancestor to obey the words of the Heir of Celestial Yin, though unwilling, its massive head subtly nodded.

Before Fu Changsheng, kneeling on one knee:

"Moo"

The Flying Feather Beast emitted a sound akin to a water buffalo.

Recognition of master.

Proceeded effortlessly, leaving Fu Changsheng somewhat dazed, internally marveling at the Celestial Yin ancestor’s Forbidden Skill’s wonders. Yet his hands performed without a hint of hesitation, fearing the Flying Feather Beast would detect irregularities, did not delay for a moment, immediately deploying the Contract Technique.

Accompanied by the sound of spells.

Mysterious runes flew from his fingertips, spiraling around the Flying Feather Beast.

"Moo"

The Flying Feather Beast anxiously cried twice, but constrained by the Forbidden Skill, could only stand obediently as the runes merged into its body. As the runes integrated, a peculiar connection grew between it and Fu Changsheng.

Buzz!

Contract completed!!

At this moment.

He could clearly feel the Flying Feather Beast’s yearning for freedom, and a touch of resentment for being long confined here:

"Rest assured, I won’t let you remain trapped here anymore."

Fu Changsheng gently reassured.

Meanwhile.

A familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind abruptly:
