Chapter 155: Totem Tablet
The power of the ancestral soul.
This is a big killer weapon for every long-standing ethnic group, and it is also the foundation of a ethnic group to protect their lives.
In these ancient families or sects, there will be a totem monument, ostensibly used to commemorate the great achievements of their ancestors. It can be said that this is a form of totem worship that worships ancestors.
And before each generation of "monument keepers" die, they will try their best to integrate their own soul power into the totem tablet and condense it into their own name on the tablet. The inheritance from generation to generation and the gathering from generation to generation will produce a more powerful phenomenon over time - the power of the ancestral soul.
According to the history of the Qianyuan world over the past 10,000 years, each totem monument can only form this special ability if it gathers more than 18 generations of stele keepers and accumulates more than 1,000 years of time, and both conditions are indispensable.
The amount of energy gathered in the totem tablet varies, depending on the accumulation of generations. But there is no doubt that once it can be borrowed by future generations, it will greatly enhance his strength. It's just that the person who can borrow the power of the ancestral soul in each generation is fixed and unique, and this kind of person is the monument keeper. Unless the person dies, a new Monument Keeper will be replaced.
Not only do the great princes like the Zhao family have totem tablets, but the dynasty and the two holy places also have them, and the dynasty even has a special ancestral soul hall to protect the totem tablet. And the stele keeper of the Ancestral Soul Hall is the summer punishment of the Great Xia Hun Tianhou. The reincarnation hall also has a totem tablet, and the stele keeper is Su Qinqing.
The reason why the keepers of the two totem tablets are not the King of Great Xia and Yin Yan is because of the limitations of the totem tablet's utility. Because even with the help of the effectiveness of the Totem Tablet, there is an upper limit to the strength of the improvement, and this upper limit is the highest level of strength in the entire Qianyuan World - similar to the most extreme powerhouses like Yin Yan or the Great Xia King.
Therefore, since Yin Yan or the Great Xia King himself has reached this level, it is difficult to produce any substantive effect with the help of the totem tablet. On the contrary, it is a holy domain like Hun Tianhou or Su Qinqing, once with the help of the power of the ancestral soul in the totem tablet, it can almost reach the level of the Great Xia King or Yin Yan. This is equivalent to adding an absolute powerhouse to the sect or dynasty out of thin air, and the deterrent power is extraordinary.
As for the keeper of the totem monument of the Zhao family, it was Zhao Lingwu, the head of the family. With the power of the ancestral soul in the Zhao family's totem tablet, his strength can be roughly increased to the top five of the heavenly list, similar to the strength of Hun Tianhou!
This kind of strength has already surpassed Xia Lie or Dugu Ce, and if it is combined with the strength of the Kaiyang Sword Saint and Xia Lie at that time, it is very likely that Yin Yan will be entangled.
It is precisely because of the existence of the totem monument, a treasure of the town clan, that the Zhao family has ensured that Handcheng has not fallen in the midst of the demon clan invasion again and again. The Demon Bear Clan can bypass Hancheng and enter the southern fiefdom, but it is difficult to conquer Hancheng. Because every time the battle reaches the most critical moment, the head of the Zhao family can use the power of the ancestral soul in the totem tablet to form a huge suppression of the demon clan. On two occasions, even if the Storm Bear King came in person, he might not have taken advantage.
It can be said that the totem monument is a huge barrier to protect a group. However, it is only a "defensive" existence. Because the effective range of the totem monument is limited, such as the Zhao family, which is only a distance of nine hundred zhang in radius. This distance can include the outer wall of Handcheng, but that's all. After exceeding this distance, it was impossible for Zhao Lingwu to borrow the power of the ancestral soul in the totem tablet.
So, this thing can only assist in defense.
It's like if Yin Yan goes to attack the Great Xia King City, he will face not only the King of Great Xia, but also the Hun Tianhou with the help of the power of the ancestral soul;
This is also a major reason for restricting the blind war between the dynasty and the Holy Land, and it is a subtle check and balance in the dark.
Moreover, there is another limit to the use of this strange thing - the number of time limits. For example, the totem tablet of the Zhao family is said to be only used once a month, and the next time you want to use it, you must wait for the power of the ancestral soul to recover again.
Of course, the utility of each totem monument is also different, and it is closely related to its own long-term accumulation. For example, the totem tablet of the reincarnation hall can be borrowed once in three days, and the range of action has reached nearly 3,000 zhang.
I don't know how effective the one of the Great Xia Dynasty is, but it is estimated that it will not be stronger than the one of the Hall of Reincarnation. Because the reincarnation hall has accumulated for nearly 10,000 years, and even if the inheritance time of the Daxia royal family is added to the period before dominating the world and the period of the Han princes, it is only five or six thousand years old.
This can also be roughly observed from the length of the walls of the Great Xia Royal City. Because the scope of the city is often the range that the effect of the totem tablet can cover, it is convenient to strengthen the defense of the city. The length and width of the royal city are 4,000 zhang, which means that the radius of the royal totem tablet should not exceed 3,000 zhang, but it will not be less than 2,000 zhang.
And this increase in radius directly reflects the energy of the totem tablet, and also reflects the depth of a group or sect in disguise. To put it simply, even if the radius of action is twice that of the opponent, it means that the actual coverage area of the totem tablet is four times that of the opponent. And the range of action of the totem tablet in the Hall of Reincarnation is more than three times that of the Zhao family, which means that its energy is no less than ten times that of the Zhao family's totem tablet!
This gap is also reflected in almost the same proportion in terms of the time limit that can be used - Zhao Lingwu wants to use the Zhao family totem tablet and can only use it once a month, while the one in the reincarnation hall can be borrowed once every three days, which also reflects the difference in the effectiveness of the two totem tablets by about ten times.
......
In short, the totem tablet is also a strange existence in the Qianyuan world, and it is currently the biggest barrier for Zhao Lingwu to defend his capital. With the help of the ancestral soul power of the Zhao family's totem tablet, his strength is no less than that of the Kaiyang Sword Saint, and even slightly better than Duguce and Xia Lie. It's just that this kind of ultimate strategic deterrence-like finale means, unless it is absolutely necessary, he really doesn't want to use it easily, and he doesn't dare to use it easily.
This method was originally used by him when he was guarding against the arrival of the dynasty's army. And if he used it early to deal with Yin Yan now, then in the next month, the dynasty army and the iron cavalry of the Reincarnation Hall attacked under Hancheng, what should he do to protect himself?
But if you don't use it now, maybe before the dynasty's army comes to the city, the entire Hancheng will be completely destroyed by Yin Yan, right?
Just when Zhao Lingwu was hesitating, Xia Lie, who had a bloody face and lost an ear, also came. Because of the use of that escape technique, his strength was greatly reduced, and he didn't want to recover the strength of the Holy Domain for several days. In this way, Zhao Lingwu did not dare to borrow the power of the ancestral soul easily.
Because even if he borrowed it, without the assistance of Xia Lie's Sacred Domain strength, he and the Kaiyang Sword Saint alone would still not be able to take Yin Yan. Then, the power of the borrowed ancestral soul is also in vain.
Headache.
Offending a top powerhouse like Yin Yan is too entangled, and it is a dilemma.
