Chapter 435: Your Ancestor Forbids Me From Speaking
Chapter 435: Your Ancestor Forbids Me From Speaking
Through the traces on Ziyuan Daxe's arm, Ziyuan Zu concluded that Qi Yuan's bloodline was extraordinary, even surpassing that of the Black Demon Ancestor.
A powerful bloodline didn't guarantee everything.
Unexpectedly, in just three months, Qi Yuan had reached the seventh layer of the Ancestral Blood Art.
At this rate, wouldn't he attain Great Supreme Enlightenment in less than ten thousand years? This was a bit exaggerated and frightening.
Ziyuan Zu's thoughts shifted.
His figure disappeared in an instant.
When he reappeared, he found himself in the Ancestral Blood Pavilion.
The surrounding space seemed frozen, and time stood still at that moment.
The white-haired elder stood motionless, his body maintaining its original posture, as if he had turned into a sculpture.
Qi Yuan's heart suddenly grew alert.
His eyes filled with curiosity as he examined the violet-robed elder before him.
This violet-robed elder gave Qi Yuan a profound and vast impression.
[Ziyuan Zu, Ziyuan Heavenly Ancestor, a Supreme Reason Realm powerhouse.]
Qi Yuan had a feeling that if he were to slip up...
Well, he wouldn't stand a chance.
Even if given a gun while the other had a sword, he would still lose.
"Greetings, Senior!"
Qi Yuan possessed the admirable qualities of a Blue Star native, being adaptable and humble, recognizing the power of Supreme Reason.
"Reaching the seventh layer within three months is barely acceptable," Ziyuan Zu said calmly, his thoughts unreadable, "Don't be too proud. Remember, there's always someone better out there."
"And don't speak of this matter to others," Ziyuan Zu added, aware of the impulsive nature of the Blood Robe.
He felt the need to offer a word of caution.
Otherwise, if the Blood Robe boasted about this, it might attract the attention of opposing forces in the Black Demon Abyss, who could secretly send a Yangshen to eliminate Qi Yuan before he could grow.
"It's indeed quite average. Alas, blame my lack of effort, I lost at the starting line.
I know of a race where they are born as Yin Gods. With malnutrition, they drink a robust oral liquid and grow. If they cultivate the Ancestral Blood Art, they would likely surpass me."
Cough, cough...
Ziyuan Zu felt the urge to cough.
He couldn't help but mention this, and the Blood Robe actually showed humility? Moreover, what race was born with Yin Gods?
"As the saying goes, a dog doesn't despise its poor home. Compared to the race I know, the Black Demon Abyss is indeed far inferior, but it's still not bad. They gave me a drop of Black Demon Ancestor Blood, which is barely acceptable." Qi Yuan spoke with high regard.
After a long roundabout, he finally got to the point.
The meaning was clear: Old Deng, donate gold coins.
Ziyuan Zu was taken aback for a moment but quickly understood Qi Yuan's intention.
"I only have one drop of Black Demon Ancestor Blood left," Ziyuan Zu said truthfully.
"You've been diligent in your cultivation lately, so I'll reward you," Ziyuan Zu said, reluctantly handing over the Black Demon Ancestor Blood to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Senior!"
He received another drop of Black Demon Ancestor Blood.
This was a great gain.
"Once you reach the ninth layer, I'll reward you with another drop of Black Demon Ancestor Blood," Ziyuan Zu calculated the time, and in a few years, his share of the Black Demon Ancestor Blood would be available.
By then, the Blood Robe would likely have reached the ninth layer.
The cultivation of the Ancestral Blood Art became slower in the later stages.
In fact, the time required for the next layer was more than the combined time spent on all the previous layers.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Qi Yuan continued to express his gratitude since it didn't cost him anything.
"Take this jade talisman. If you encounter danger, it can be activated instantly," Ziyuan Zu said, tossing a protective jade talisman to Qi Yuan.
This jade talisman was powerful enough to help Qi Yuan escape from a sudden attack by a Supreme Reason Yangshen.
Even if Qi Yuan didn't activate it in time, it would automatically activate itself.
[An ordinary-looking protective jade talisman, but its power was not to be underestimated. With several loopholes, if improved... its power could be increased by more than threefold.]
"Thank you!" Qi Yuan said thanks again, "Senior, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should!"
Qi Yuan took the protective jade talisman, intending to inform Ziyuan Zu of its flaws so that he could improve it on the spot.
This way, the value of the jade talisman could be significantly increased.
If he needed money, he could sell the jade talisman and still get a good price.
"Don't say it!" Ziyuan Zu didn't bother listening to Qi Yuan, fearing that he might say something shocking and put him in an awkward position.
For instance, if Qi Yuan asked him face-to-face, "Is the Blood Robe my father left behind?" How would Ziyuan Zu respond? No matter how he answered, he would lose face.
Hearing this, Qi Yuan felt a bit disappointed.
Another billion lost.
However, thinking about all the good things Ziyuan Zu had given him, it was like a grandfather rewarding his grandson.
He didn't want to be a grandson.
But the Black Demon Ancestor Blood was too tempting, asking him to return it was like asking for his life.
Qi Yuan hesitated.
Ah, humans were truly conflicted. This was a difficult choice.
Suddenly, Qi Yuan had an epiphany and looked at Ziyuan Zu with utmost seriousness. "Senior, I accept your gift, but that doesn't mean I'm indebted to you. I was born without a mother-in-law, and I've never had parents or grandparents. I don't want to add another ancestor to my family tree."
"Senior, I will repay your gift tenfold in the future. But during this time, if you consider me an enemy, I will treat you as one too!" Qi Yuan clarified his stance.
Ziyuan Zu was left speechless by this statement.
"What? Are you now my enemy?" Ziyuan Zu's voice was calm, revealing no emotions.
"When I was in the Demon Abyss, I took a Moon Maiden as my wife. We even got our marriage license, just waiting for the approval of Moon God Primordial Lord!" Qi Yuan explained.
Ziyuan Zu gave Qi Yuan another glance, feeling a bit surprised. He took a quick look and noticed the Moon Maiden mark on Qi Yuan's arm.
"The Nine Elders of the Demon Abyss are not a united group, and it's not Ziyuan Heaven that's at war with the Moon Goddess Palace." Ziyuan Zu stated calmly.
Among the Nine Elders, only three had a close relationship with Ziyuan Zu. The others were merely acquaintances, and some were even enemies, wishing for each other's demise.
"Go back." Ziyuan Zu waved his hand, and Qi Yuan's figure disappeared.
In the Ancestral Blood Pavilion, time seemed to rewind as Ziyuan Zu's memories were extracted. Ziyuan Zu's figure also vanished at this moment.
Outside the pavilion, Qi Yuan's expression was filled with apprehension. The Great Supreme Enlightenment was too powerful.
Even with Ziyuan Zu's recent display, he couldn't resist at all.
So, even if he had a million chances, Qi Yuan couldn't kill Ziyuan Zu in his current state.
If even an ordinary Great Supreme Enlightenment was this strong, how terrifying would the one from Taohuang Palace be? Qi Yuan looked up at his star and thought of the Goldfinch and Ning Tuo, who were diligently chasing the sun in the universe. His heart felt more at ease.
"Blood Robe Senior Brother, how is it going? Which level are you at?" Ziyuan Xiaolu stood outside, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Qi Yuan.
"This... Our Ancient Ancestor doesn't want me to reveal it." Qi Yuan answered truthfully.
"Ancient Ancestor?" Ziyuan Xiaolu widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Even the Ancient Ancestor was alarmed. Could it be... at least the third level, or maybe even the fourth!"
She was excited and delighted, but also curious. Ziyuan Xiaolu was itching to know which level Blood Robe Senior Brother had reached.
Could it be the fourth level, or even beyond... surpassing Black Sword's record?
However, she knew that she probably wouldn't find out for hundreds of years, given that even the Ancient Ancestor had appeared.
Her curiosity was unbearable, but she had no choice but to endure it.
At this moment, she blinked at Qi Yuan, who extended seven fingers.
"The Ancient Ancestor told me not to speak of it, but he didn't say I couldn't gesture it. Do you understand? This is my current level, but please don't spread this around." Qi Yuan said calmly.
Ziyuan Xiaolu stared at the seven fingers, her head spinning.
The seventh level?
Her body went limp, and her mind went blank.
On the other side, Ziyuan Zu witnessed this scene and couldn't help but shake his head.
"This kid, always stirring up trouble..."
---
Eleven days passed.
Qi Yuan still felt unfulfilled.
In the 1619 version!
"What a pity, the Black Demon Ancestor's blood has been consumed again."
After three days, Qi Yuan finished absorbing and digesting the Black Demon Ancestor's blood, greatly advancing his progress in the Ancestral Blood Art.
Suddenly, he stepped into the eighth level.
After reaching the eighth level, Qi Yuan discovered that his blood had some additional golden, cold, and glimmering blood.
This startled Qi Yuan, making him suspect metal poisoning.
For safety, he dyed his golden blood red.
With this, he felt much more at ease.
"What a pity, I'm still one level away from the ninth."
The further he progressed, the slower it became.
To increase his speed, he needed a large amount of Black Demon Ancestor's blood.
Otherwise, Qi Yuan calculated that without the Black Demon Ancestor's blood, it would take him at least a hundred years of diligent cultivation to reach the fifteenth level of perfection, relying solely on his talent.
This was terrifying.
The future seemed bleak, with no light at the end of the tunnel.
It was like working in an electronics factory for fifty years just to save up for a down payment.
"The Black Demon Ancestor's blood... How can I obtain more of it?" Qi Yuan sighed.
His starting point was too disadvantageous. He was already behind at the beginning, and only through his own efforts could he narrow the gap, even if just a little.
Suddenly, Qi Yuan had a thought and took out the golden bowl.
Inside the bowl, a clump of blood water sat.
Within the blood, countless tiny intelligent micro detection bugs swarmed.
Oh, the people of Blue Star don't have such good eyesight.
"Robots, can you speak?" Qi Yuan greeted the bugs.
Unfortunately, the mechanical bugs showed no response, remaining silent.
"It's a pity Zero One isn't here... If Zero One were here, it could definitely communicate with these mechanical bugs."
Qi Yuan pondered.
These intelligent micro detection bugs weren't products of the Sixth Heaven.
The methods of the Immortal Dao were useless against them.
Or perhaps, for a Yangshen Venerable, these bugs were just a special kind of creation.
"Wait, when Zero One shared the insights of the Ten Thousand Paths Martial God with me, he also gave me a lot of... useful things."
Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.
In that ancient ruin, Zero One had control over the spaceship's permissions, mastering many advanced technologies, and even some evolutionary ones.
When Zero One transmitted the insights of the Ten Thousand Paths Martial God to Qi Yuan, they were mixed with many advanced technologies.
Those advanced technologies were also part of the insights of the Ten Thousand Paths Martial God.
After all, the Ten Thousand Paths Martial God wasn't just an empty title.
Not only did he comprehend the Heavenly Dao, Earth Dao, Tree Dao, and Human Dao, but he also understood the Hacker Dao.
"Accessing data."
Qi Yuan reached out and touched the intelligent micro detection bugs.
Instantly, the bugs swiftly moved towards him.
Qi Yuan's eyes brightened at this sight.
"It seems that the Demon Abyss... and the universe where Dong Jun resides, are deeply connected!"
His technology was useful against these bugs.
This indicated a shared technology.
"Receiving data."
These intelligent micro detection bugs also had data recording and storage functions.
Qi Yuan directly invaded their core, receiving data, hoping for some unexpected surprises.
"The data is intermittent and severely distorted."
Qi Yuan was a bit disappointed.
Perhaps it was too ancient.
Additionally, the bugs hadn't received any energy replenishment.
The data he received was mostly fragmented and incomplete.
However, he still found some useful information.
"What a huge worm... and an endless spaceship!"
In the vast universe, Qi Yuan saw a gigantic worm.
The worm swam in the pitch-black abyss, its compound eyes larger than any star.
Such a massive creature was enough to make Qi Yuan's expression change.
"It's just a broken image, but it's definitely a Supreme Enlightenment, or even... not just a Supreme Enlightenment!"
Qi Yuan's face remained calm as he received the residual images.
At that moment, another image caught his attention.
"What's going on here?"
The image showed the giant worm breaking through a boundary, and suddenly, it vanished, its spirit and soul disappearing without a trace, leaving behind an empty shell.
This was enough to shock anyone.
This was a Supreme Enlightenment peak existence, or even one that had transcended the Supreme Enlightenment Realm, reaching the third level of Yang Shen, similar to the woman he met on Gongxing.
But at the moment of breakthrough, its spirit and soul vanished, leaving only its body.
This was a terrifying existence at the peak of Supreme Enlightenment, or even the third level of Yang Shen.
Suddenly, it vanished during its breakthrough.
The information behind this was too shocking.
The next image showed an endless fleet approaching the giant worm, seemingly intending to collect its body and blood.
The endless fleet relied on the giant worm's body to build a sky fortress.
"This worm... is it the source of Black Demon Ancestor Blood? Such a huge creature must have a lot of blood!"
Qi Yuan's eyes lit up, not having time to mourn the worm's demise.
From the intelligent micro detection bugs, he discovered a place where the giant worm's blood was stored!
"Black Demon Ancestor Blood?"
Qi Yuan's breath quickened.
If he obtained the Black Demon Ancestor Blood, he could rapidly improve his Ancestral Blood Art.
With this blood, his Ten Thousand Paths Martial God cultivation could reach the Supreme Enlightenment Realm.
Without using divine arts or the Great Forgetting Heart Sutra, his sheer combat power would be enough to rival the Supreme Enlightenment Realm.
Although Qi Yuan had defeated Mara Clan's Supreme Enlightenment Realm Yang Shen, he knew it hadn't been easy.
But with a large amount of Black Demon Ancestor Blood, could his Ten Thousand Paths Martial God cultivation rival the Supreme Enlightenment Realm, or even the Supreme Enlightenment?
