Chapter 346: Who is Qi Yuan's Ancestor?
Chapter 346: Who is Qi Yuan's Ancestor?
Qi Yuan ignored the gazes of the crowd and approached the Blood Jade Wall.
To use the Ancestral Reversion Pill, one required the assistance of the Blood Jade Wall.
Qi Yuan was eager to see how much improvement the pill would bring him.
According to others, the stronger one's talent and the deeper one's blessings, the greater the enhancement would be.
Given his exceptional natural talent, the Ancestral Seed within this body, the source of his bloodline, must have held high hopes for him.
Should he... invest more? Directly elevate him to the realm of the Ten Thousand Dao Divine Warrior?
Qi Yuan headed towards the Blood Jade Wall, and the rest of the people in the stronghold followed suit.
They had long known that the reward for the previous mission was the Ancestral Reversion Pill, and some of the leaders were even considering exchanging their own pills after Qi Yuan's team successfully completed the task.
Of course, for now, it seemed like just a dream.
At this moment, everyone present, both those who had been there before and those who hadn't, was curious to see what this ruthless man, Qi Yuan, would achieve within the Blood Jade Wall.
The cultivators who were meditating near the wall all woke up.
Seeing Qi Yuan's surging blood energy, they revealed looks of fear.
When they noticed the group from the stronghold following behind him, they silently retreated from the Blood Jade Wall.
After all, in the face of uncertainty, safety came first.
Meditation? What was that?
So, when Qi Yuan stepped into the Blood Jade Wall, those who had been meditating all withdrew.
Qi Yuan was startled and turned to look at the crowd.
"Have you all cursed me? If not, why are you so afraid and unwilling to stand with me?"
Upon hearing these words, the crowd's anxious expressions changed slightly.
"No... we are not worthy... to stand with you!" Lin Yeshan bravely spoke up.
"Yes, we are not worthy!" the others echoed in agreement.
"Sigh, you bunch of old-fashioned folks, still living in the past. Nowadays, it's all about equality!" Qi Yuan said softly.
Among the people in the stronghold, a small portion were from modern times, but most of them were actually from ancient times.
For instance, Lin Yeshan was an ancient escort master.
So, it was highly likely that these people had rigid and conservative mindsets.
Qi Yuan didn't bother to argue with them further. He leaped into the air and landed where the Blood Jade Wall was located.
At that moment, he swallowed the Ancestral Reversion Pill.
Instantly, he turned his attention inward and discovered that about one-tenth of the blood in his body was glowing red, like fireflies, at that very moment.
This blood was precisely the blood he had devoured from the Demonic Race after using the Devouring Original Body.
In an instant, Qi Yuan's body seemed to have a leak, and red light escaped from it.
"To react with the Blood Jade Wall so quickly, his talent... is indeed formidable. No wonder!"
"Who is the source of his bloodline?"
"With such strength, the blessings from his ancestral bloodline must be abundant."
The others were envious beyond words.
Qi Yuan was already powerful, and if he received the favor of his ancestors, the results would be unimaginable.
Just then, a thick beam of blood-red light shot out from the Blood Jade Wall and entered Qi Yuan's body.
"A lower-grade bloodline of deathly silence, and it's this... His future is worrying!"
An elderly cultivator's eyes flashed with disappointment upon seeing the blood-red light.
Bloodline sources were categorized by grades.
The lowest was lower-grade, followed by middle-grade, then upper-grade, and the highest was the titled grade.
However, these bloodline sources were further classified beyond just grades.
They were either 'dead' or 'active'.
'Dead' meant that the ancestor of the bloodline source had passed away.
'Active' indicated that the ancestor of the bloodline source was still alive.
Naturally, the more active and higher the grade the bloodline source was, the greater the potential and rewards.
The lower-grade bloodline of deathly silence was almost at the very bottom.
"This bloodline won't be of much help to him. What a pity!"
"Pity my ass! You're just a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, pitying others. Even without the blessings of his ancestral bloodline, the realms he can't reach in this life are beyond your comprehension!"
Upon hearing these words, everyone present fell silent.
Indeed, the Ancestral Reversion Pill would only be an added bonus for Qi Yuan.
At that moment, Qi Yuan closed his eyes, and a drop of blood within his body seemed to boil for an instant.
Yes... it boiled for just an instant.
His strength increased significantly in that moment.
And in that instant, his eyes fixed on that drop of blood.
Suddenly, countless pieces of information flooded into his mind.
Through infinite space and time, he saw a blood-red bone, dripping with blood.
Qi Yuan saw a slender bone, and through it, he seemed to glimpse the owner of that bone.
It was a grotesque, crawling demon beast with a large head and thin limbs.
This was the ancestor of that drop of blood's bloodline source.
"A Yin Spirit?"
Qi Yuan instantly discerned the strength of the bloodline source, comparable to a Yin Spirit.
"Hmm... Why do I feel like there's another me here?"
Qi Yuan was momentarily stunned.
Currently, due to the Ancestral Reversion Pill, his consciousness briefly lingered at the origin of his bloodline.
He suddenly realized that there seemed to be another him there.
"Wait, a portion of the Primordial Seed's spirit!"
In just an instant, Qi Yuan understood that it was a part of the Primordial Seed's spirit.
After the world's reboot, he had completely devoured the Primordial Seed, returning to his true self.
As a result, here... there was still a portion of the spirit left over.
This was quite... peculiar.
"Strange... This part of the spirit seems to be lifeless.
Is it... the spirit of someone who died ten years later?"
Qi Yuan's mind raced with thoughts.
Before the world's reboot, the Qi Yuan that was a manifestation of the Primordial Seed had died, and his soul seemed to have drifted to this place?
After the world's reboot, it was still there.
Qi Yuan's eyes flickered with unspoken thoughts.
Finally, his gaze fell on the broken bone fragment on the ground.
"You're already so old, and even after death, you're still worried about giving your blood to me.
I, as an Elder, always prioritize the young. I'll return your blood to you, and by the way, I'll give you some of my blood too!"
Qi Yuan was very generous; after all, these bloodlines were all from demonic blood that had devoured the original body.
Giving away a little more wasn't a problem.
As for Xishi, on the Blood Jade Plaque, everyone was dumbfounded by this scene.
"What's going on here?"
"How come the blood he gave... is being taken back?"
"Could it be a mistake?"
"Did they recognize the wrong bloodline?"
"Did they find out it wasn't their own offspring? Are they wearing green hats?"
Everyone present was utterly confused; this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
However, at that moment, another blood ray shot out from the Blood Jade Plaque, rushing towards Qi Yuan.
The crowd, who had been skeptical, suddenly realized the truth.
"It seems it was a mistake; this one is the real one!"
"A lifeless Middle Grade one is indeed quite ordinary, but it's not bad."
"Could it be that this is Qi Yuan's true bloodline ancestor?"
But before they could think further, the Blood Jade Plaque shone brightly.
One, two, three... ten... hundreds of rays of light, dense and numerous like flowing water and galloping horses, rushed into Qi Yuan's body.
"Ah... How does he have so many ancestors?"
"Lower Grade, Middle Grade, Upper Grade, and even some with titles!"
"What's happening? Is the Blood Jade Plaque broken?"
"Could it be that... his maternal ancestor... had many partners, and these bloodline ancestors... were all recognized as his own sons?"
The people gathered here included both ancient and modern individuals, and their thoughts were as wild as their imaginations, capable of concocting the most exaggerated scenarios.
At this moment, as they looked at Qi Yuan, they wore expressions of bewilderment, as if watching a play and enjoying the spectacle.
If it weren't for Qi Yuan's formidable strength and the heavy bloodlust he exuded, they would have brought small stools to sit on, munching on sunflower seeds while weaving all sorts of historical tales.
"This could be made into a... 'The Search for Ancestors'!"
"Where are the ancestors?"
Cautious of Qi Yuan's formidable power, they spoke with restraint.
"Indeed, they recognized the wrong bloodline. Look, most of the blood has returned!"
"It seems like those bloodline ancestors who went back are, at most, just holding hands with the maternal ancestor!"
"How pitiful!"
The men and women present were bursting with curiosity, wishing they could travel back to ancient times to witness Qi Yuan's maternal ancestor and see what kind of charming person she was, to have played with so many ancient ancestors, to the point that they recognized them all as their own.
They all treated Qi Yuan as if he were their own offspring.
Now, after entering Qi Yuan's body, they finally understood that, no... he wasn't their descendant; he just had a similar scent.
But these people didn't know that the red blood rays that returned were all... the bloodline ancestors with only their remains left.
Qi Yuan, as an Elder who cared for the young, didn't want these people to worry even in death, so he left his blood on their bones.
He waited for the fragment of the Primordial Seed's soul to connect with these ancestors, so he could use the blood as coordinates to find them.
As for his purpose, it was naturally to provide them with... a peaceful retirement.
Qi Yuan was very thoughtful.
"Is... this the bloodline ancestor of the Primordial Seed's physical body?"
Although Qi Yuan's power was no longer present, his insight remained.
The Lower and Middle Grade bloodline ancestors had the strength of a Venerable.
The Upper Grade bloodline ancestors were on par with a Martial Overlord.
As for the titled bloodline ancestors, they were mythical warriors.
"Is this the Martial Overlord?"
Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had no qualms about giving blood to the deceased ancestors.
As for the living ones, he didn't want to bother with them.
After all, one couldn't refuse the gifts of elders.
"Not bad, I've probably reached the pinnacle of the Martial Spirit Realm, and with just a little more, I'll be a Martial King!" Qi Yuan said, having received numerous gifts that significantly enhanced his strength.
The Martial King Realm was comparable to the Purple Mansion.
The next step up was the Martial Wielder.
"So, killing demons is still the fastest way to improve. I hope that next time, I'll enter a world with more fierce demons, and maybe some adorable ancestors too." Qi Yuan opened his eyes at this moment.
The crowd, who had been chattering, suddenly fell silent.
Some of them, who had been expressing amazement, now looked solemn. A few even showed sadness, and tears fell involuntarily.
"Your... father is dead?" Qi Yuan asked, a puzzled expression on his face.
...
Military Safety Neighborhood.
New green buds sprouted on the branches, adding a touch of spring to the community.
Wang Zhiqi wore a single-layer shirt and didn't feel cold.
"Principal, this is our neighborhood, it looks pretty good, right?"
Wang Zhiqi was simple-minded and of an age that loved to play.
Moreover, she was very talented, and all the teachers at the Heavenly Zen Tower were friendly to her. So, facing Xie Tang, she didn't feel intimidated by a cultivator, and was quite bold.
"Yes, there are a lot of people here." Xie Tang nodded, giving the neighborhood a cursory glance.
It was indeed an ordinary mortal community.
"Don't underestimate our neighborhood, we have some formidable people.
For example, my father, Yang Shan, is a Martial Practitioner, and he's practically a Martial King!" Wang Zhiqi boasted.
Her father, Yang Shan, was indeed a Martial King-like existence, a legend.
Such a thing couldn't be boasted about in front of her classmates, but it was different when dealing with a cultivator like Xie Tang.
"That's great, you can consider him a dragon among men!" Xie Tang praised.
Genius disciples should be pampered.
"Our neighborhood also has a cat, she's an internet celebrity, with millions of followers!" Wang Zhiqi said excitedly, "Principal, this cat is so smart, not only can it cook, but it can also solve a Rubik's Cube!"
Wang Zhiqi took out her phone.
She played a video for Xie Tang.
In the video, a pitiful cat, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, was cooking. Occasionally, it added salt and seasoning, making it look quite interesting.
"This cat is so clever, I've even held it before. It's my neighbor's cat!" Wang Zhiqi continued excitedly.
Xie Tang watched the video, her expression slightly dazed. For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with this cat.
"In a world like yours, this cat is indeed unique, but in the Flame Spirit World, it's not that special.
Our cats in the Flame Spirit World sometimes even develop intelligence, and their wisdom is no less than that of ordinary people."
"Principal, do you think this cat has the talent to cultivate like us?" Wang Zhiqi asked.
"It's difficult." Xie Tang shook her head, "Our Profound Heaven Sect doesn't have cultivation methods for other species."
"What a pity." Wang Zhiqi looked a little disappointed, but then she raised her head and looked at Xie Tang, suddenly saying, "Principal, if you were to create an account, you'd definitely have millions of followers and become a top internet celebrity!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Xie Tang smiled gently, her starbrow eyes gleaming.
"I've never seen someone with eyebrows like stars before!
Everyone else has sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, but you have starbrow eyes, it's so unique!" Wang Zhiqi's eyes sparkled.
Xie Tang smiled, "My eyebrows are nothing special. If you were to see my senior sister, you'd find that some people's eyebrows... actually resemble a turtle's!"
"What, a turtle? That's so cool!" Wang Zhiqi exclaimed, "When I've cultivated to a high enough level, I want to turn my eyebrows into... the sun!"
Xie Tang looked at Wang Zhiqi with doting eyes.
If anyone else made fun of her eyebrows, she would have sliced them with her sword.
But Wang Zhiqi was different; she knew that Wang Zhiqi was carefree by nature and had no ill intentions.
However, at this moment, her starbrow eyebrows twitched slightly, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes, "Your neighborhood is indeed blessed with talented people. I've discovered two more youngsters with exceptional talent!"
These two youngsters had even greater talent than Wang Zhiqi.
How could Xie Tang not be excited?
This time, she had gained such a harvest!
