"Commander Shi, Shi Lin wants to enter the royal city to see the Third Ancestor!"

Compared to before, Shi Lin's tone and demeanor are much improved this time.

She even slightly nods to the leading guard.

"According to the rules, I still need to conduct an inspection!"

Shi Kun's attitude is fairly decent. Although he bears the royal surname, his status is far inferior to Shi Lin.

However, as the commander of the royal city guards and a Dao Realm fifth-level expert, he does not show much humility.

"That's expected!"

Shi Lin wears a slight smile.

Then Shi Kun's chest emits a yellow light, enveloping Shi Lin, and a phantom appears behind her instantly.

The phantom then transforms into a symbol.

This symbol is the most primitive rune of the Stone Race, representing stone.

Three days ago, Chen Xuan did not understand these things, but after reading books from Shi Lin's library, he understood.

And the perpetrator of all this is none other than Zhan Tian.

It was he who infiltrated the royal city and caused a massive slaughter, leading to the current rule that anyone entering the city must be inspected.

Only those with the top three surnames are allowed entry.

"No issues!"

Shi Kun spoke, then looked at Chen Xuan.

"He is the one the Third Ancestor wants to see."

"Okay!"

Shi Kun nodded, then the same yellow light enveloped Chen Xuan.

The next instant, the innate ability simulates a phantom, also evolving into a symbol, which is different from Shi Lin's.

This also represents that he comes from a common surname in the Stone Race.

Shi Kun's eyes flash with disdain; a mere ordinary lower-class Stone Race member is lucky enough to enter the royal city.

If not for being associated with Shi Lin, he wouldn't even have the qualification to enter the outskirts.

"No issues!"

Shi Kun's chest returned to normal, showing a cold attitude toward Chen Xuan.

He belongs to a royal surname and believes that even if Chen Xuan becomes Shi Lin's husband and part of the extended family, his status can never compare to his own.

Hence his attitude toward Chen Xuan is understandably poor.

"This is the Stone Race!"

Chen Xuan smiles inwardly, finding it extremely distorted.

Common surname Stone Race members are completely disregarded.

"If one day these common surname members overthrow them, it would be amusing!"

This thought suddenly arose in Chen Xuan's mind, but upon reflection, it seemed utterly impossible!

The three major surnames and royal family members of the Stone Race are born with higher talents, and all resources are under their control. Common surnames achieving a rise would require an extraordinary genius who can mature.

But this probability... approaches zero.

At least in the Stone Race's history, it has never happened.

"Follow me inside!"

Shi Lin said casually, then proceeded toward the royal city, with Chen Xuan following immediately.

However...

"Be cautious inside; know what to see and what not to see. Even if you see something, act as if you haven't!"

Shi Kun warns him.

The forward-moving Shi Lin seemed to ignore his warnings, continuing to walk inside, as she considered Shi Kun's warning entirely reasonable.

"Understood."

Chen Xuan replied and then entered the royal city directly.

"Hmph!"

"Inferior person!"

Shi Kun felt very disgruntled; what attitude is this? A person from a lower surname showing no hint of reverence.

If it weren't for the fact that he is Shi Lin's man and the Third Ancestor wants to see him, he would have received a barrage of reprimands.

Of course, Chen Xuan heard all of this.

However, he treated it as wind passing by, as he finally saw the scene inside the Stone Race royal city.

The sacrificial plaza with green stone flooring, flanked by statues roughly ten meters apart as he walked.

Shi Lin, walking ahead, seemed to sense his confusion, whispering, "This is the Sacrificial Plaza, and each one here fought bravely for the Stone Race's honor and died."

"The purpose is to let every Stone Race member know that today's achievements are thanks to ancestors who exchanged blood for them."

"Inspiring us, the descendants, to forge ahead and continue fighting for the Stone Race!"

As she spoke,

Shi Lin's expression suddenly grew solemn.

"That's impressive!"

Chen Xuan murmured to himself, this brainwashing is indeed successful. Damn it, he now finds the Stone Race increasingly resembling a pyramid scheme organization.

It's not just the oppression of common surnames; even royal family members like Shi Lin are thoroughly indoctrinated, without a single stray thought.

"I hope you have the chance to have a statue here someday!"

Shi Lin suddenly turned around, her expression serious, "This is your greatest honor!"

"Um —"

In an instant, Chen Xuan was speechless.

Establish a statue, my foot; not just in the Stone Race, even in Great Yu, he had no such thoughts.

Also... establishing one of those means you're dead, doesn't it?

Dogmatic honor!

Yet he still nodded slightly, "Perhaps!"

Of course, his hope is not to establish a statue but that the Stone Race won't give him trouble, otherwise... the Stone Race... indeed fitting as statues.

The two walked through the Sacrificial Plaza, and a majestic grand hall appeared before them.

The Three Ancestors Hall!

"Is this the place where the Stone Race's Third Ancestor resides?"

But this name is indeed simple and crude.

Yet there was not a single figure at the hall entrance, entirely empty.

Shi Lin proceeded directly toward the door, and then an elderly man with white hair, clad in a gray robe, emerged from the hall.

"Something's wrong!"

Upon seeing the old man, Chen Xuan instantly sensed his formidable spiritual power.

Far stronger than his own, so... at least above Dao Realm seventh-level.

Of course, what surprised Chen Xuan most wasn't this; although Stone Race members usually struggle to cultivate spiritual power, they could find it acceptable in the royal city, albeit strange.
