Yun Bai came to a halt in front of a large pair of doors. The doors covered the entirety of the passage from the floor to the roof, leaving no gap in between. It was large enough that Lin Wu would be able to pass through them even with his full size.
"These are the archives of my clan. Give me a moment to open it." Yun Bai said before he took out a metal plate from his spatial store treasure.
The metal plate had the motif of a fox carved on it and looked to be ancient. Yun Bai held it in front of him and injected spirit Qi in to it.
~heng~
The metal plate floated out from his hand and went to slot into a small section in the middle of the doors.
~RUMBLE~
The doors started to open slowly, revealing what was hidden behind them.
'Damn, that's a lot of books.' Lin Wu internally said.
The archives were definitely bigger than most places he had been to. The only place that could compare to it and was bigger than it were the repositories and libraries in the Frozen Cloud sect.
There weren't just books, but all sorts of documents and items that could store information. There were jade slips, bamboo slips, formation plates that worked the same as jade slips and also some unique crystal orbs that were new for Lin Wu.
"Welcome to my clan's Archives." Yun Bai sand and brought him in.
"Where is the Ten thousand bloodline pedestal?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Come this way, it's a little farther." Yun Bai said, before they walked deeper into the archives.
This allowed Lin Wu to see just how much was stored in the archives. One thing was clear though, there was just information stored here and nothing else. There were no resources, spirit stones, or things of that sort.
'That's probably stored in a different section…' Lin Wu thought.
Finally, they came to an open area that was circular in shape. In the center of that stood a pedestal that was square in shape. There were eight layers to it like a pagoda and had tiny carvings on it that were hard to see.
At the top of it, there was a glassy stone that silently hovered without any spirit Qi fluctuations.
"This is the Ten Thousand Bloodline Pedestal." Yun Bai stated.
"How do we use it?" Lin Wu questioned.
"Umm… let me check." Yun Bai said.
"Check? You don't know how to?" Lin Wu asked, finding it surprising.
"Well… I've never actually used it before. I don't think it's ever been used after the Thirteenth Thunder Chamber left this world." Yun Bai admitted.
"Huh…" Lin Wu didn't know what to say to that.
"There are some instructions for it, so I'll just check that." Yun Bai said before he went and placed his hand on the glassy stone that was floating on top of the pedestal.
The stone lightly glowed and Yun Bai seemed to be reading from it. A few seconds later, he opened his eyes and looked back.
"I know it now. Let the weasel come stand inside the circle." Yun Bai spoke.
"You heard him, go inside and don't move till I tell you to." Lin Wu ordered.
"Okay," The weasel said and stepped into the circle.
"I'll activate it now." Yun Bai said and pressed the glassy stone into the pedestal.
~HONG~
Spirit Qi fluctuation came from the pedestal as it showed signs of activation. About ten seconds later, three beams of light shot out and struck Tim. The beast was certainly startled, but seeing that they did no harm, calmed down.
Yun Bai lifted his hand and went back to stand with Lin Wu.
"Now what?" Lin Wu asked.
"Now we wait. Depending on how complex and hard to detect the bloodline is, it will take different amounts of time." Yun Bai replied.
"Will it be able to detect it, though? Normal spirit Qi cannot penetrate Tim's body." Lin Wu reminded.
"It should work. It is not of this world and has a lot of complex formation arrays that even I don't know of. Perhaps you might through." Yun Bai said.
"Hmm… we'll wait then." Lin Wu replied.
'Scan that pedestal system and see what it has and how it works.' Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~

Seeing these two lines, Lin Wu knew that the system will have a slightly hard time in scanning it as well.
"Mind if I browse through the things here?" Lin Wu asked.
"Feel free. I doubt there is something that you don't know here." Yun Bai replied.
"There is always new knowledge to be found, and it is bad to get complacent." Lin Wu stated.
Yun Bai nodded in agreement and let Lin Wu do want he wanted.
He didn't have an aversion to letting Lin Wu checking since he reckoned Lin Wu would know most of these things anyway. To him, Lin Wu was someone from a higher realm and thus would be far more knowledgeable than him.
As for Lin Wu not knowing about the Ten Thousand bloodline Pedestal, Yun Bai just thought that it was probably not a common tool or that there were multiple versions of it that might have different names.
Thus, he didn't doubt Lin Wu.
"Alright system… You know what to do." Lin Wu said in his mind.
~DING~

Lin Wu knew this would take a while simply due to the fact that there were a massive amount of documents here. Even with system's increased speed, there were a lot of things to go through.
'Might as well read some things directly while it all works out…' Lin Wu thought and extended his spirit sense towards a random jade slip that was placed on a shelf nearby.
As a surprise to him, it contained the information about a lot of beasts that had been scanned by the Ten thousand bloodline pedestal in the past.
