I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

69: This decree can be used to command all the powerful members of the Shen family; seeing this decree is like seeing the king!”This token can command all the powerful experts of the Shen Family. Seeing this token is like seeing the King. This Old Ancestor finds it a bit hot to handle, so you might as well take it...”

”Quick, put it on... What ’sequence struggle,’ ’only the strongest can be our Shen Family Patriarch,’ that’s utter nonsense. No matter how talented and fierce those few brats from the other branches are, can they beat this Old Ancestor? In the Shen Family, this Old Ancestor has the final say. We won’t listen to them!”

”Whoever dares to disagree, just let them come. Although this Old Ancestor is old, I still know a little bit of martial arts.”

”Don’t ask why, just ask who made you my grandson, hehe, isn’t it okay for us to have some special privileges?”

”Oh right, little Nian, logically you should only have one Dao Protector, but that old man Tianji loves to spout nonsense, saying your talent is merely average, and you’ll die young before nineteen?”

”Hmph, phooey!”

”Next time I find an opportunity, this Old Ancestor will secretly tear down his Tianji Pavilion.”

”However, speaking of which, that old man’s deductions do have some merit, which makes this Old Ancestor restless. After much calculation, I still can’t see or understand clearly. To be safe, you must always carry this cangtian token with you...”

The old man paused in silence, then continued with a smile.

”Little Nian, our Shen Family has stood at the peak of the Human Race for many years, being the most esteemed among the four Ancient Desolate Families: Wang, Jiang, and Ji. It’s no exaggeration to say that once you inherit the Shen Family, you will be one of the most powerful people in this world. Behind you will not just be the Shen Family, but countless living beings under this starry sky. If you fall, it will lead to widespread suffering and eternal damnation. Are you afraid?”

”I’m not afraid!” The nine-year-old, dressed in a profound jade night-white robe, with rosy lips and white teeth, the innocent Shen Nian took the cangtian token and declared proudly.

”Why aren’t you afraid?” The old man asked with a solemn expression.

Young Shen Nian raised his head and puffed out his chest, replying, ”Not afraid is just not afraid!”

”Well said!”

”Truly worthy of being this Old Ancestor’s grandson!”

Inside the room, candlelight flickered.

Shen Nian sat cross-legged on the bed, looking down at the cangtian token in his hand, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Good heavens, one dared to give, and one dared to take!

He was only nine years old, no wonder he faced so much doubt in his childhood. Sometimes, too much favoritism, unmatched by one’s own talent, could be an immense pressure.

Shen Nian recalled the scene of first seeing this token when he was nine, as if he now understood why his younger self had wanted to prove himself in such an extreme way.

”Forget it, pondering over these things now is useless.”

Shen Nian thought about it for a while, then decided not to bother. Just as he was about to put away the cangtian token to study the Soul Searching Cultivation Technique, his brow slightly furrowed.

The cangtian token had merged into his flesh and blood, floating in his Dantian Sea.

”This is quite convenient...” Shen Nian felt the aura of the cangtian token; he could take it out with a single thought.

”Hmm?”

”There’s space inside?”

The next second.

Shen Nian’s Divine Sense immersed itself within, and suddenly, golden Great Dao chains appeared out of thin air. Each chain had brilliant runes rotating on it, and even a wisp of aura casually emitted made Shen Nian feel terrified.

The golden chains directly passed through Shen Nian’s Divine Soul, as if testing something.

Shen Nian’s expression remained unchanged. It wasn’t hard to guess that this was a check of his identity; otherwise, wouldn’t anyone be able to enter the cangtian token?

Time slowly passed. After the golden chains verified Shen Nian’s identity, they disappeared.

In their place, a boundless and endless space appeared before him.

”It’s actually this big inside?” Shen Nian was a little shocked. Even with his current Divine Thought range, he could clearly feel that the area he covered was just the tip of the iceberg.

It was truly enormous!

He even thought about whether he should get a new Storage Pouch or spatial ring, because the one issued by the Heavenly Sword Sect was already full.
