Chapter 1371 - Mystery of the Bloodline
Chapter 1371: Mystery of the Bloodline
“Master, with your interference this time round, things with the Dongfang and Ximen aristocratic families are irreconcilable. It’s probably going to be difficult to resolve this matter,”
Beiming Xue analyzed with a worried expression, “That Conjoint Body Mighty Figure was afraid of your reputation and was scared off. However, the three aristocratic families have ruled over the South Region for so long and they have many experts. As long as they gather and discuss, they might be able to discover your weakness.”
“Master, I’m extremely grateful for everything you’ve done for me. However, a calamity is approaching. Please leave first and don’t bother about me.”
Beiming Xue knew that given Su Zimo’s current strength and powerful physique, it would be extremely easy for him to leave this place even if he could not use Dharmic powers.
However, she was only a Golden Core. It would be wishful thinking if he wanted to take her together to escape from the South Region!
Su Zimo had a calm expression. “You don’t have to worry about this. I have my own plans.”
Beiming Xue did not persuade further when she heard Su Zimo’s words.
However, she continued frowning, as though she had something on her mind.
“You’re still worried?”
After the two of them walked for a while, Beiming Xue still had a lowered head, seemingly troubled. When he saw that, Su Zimo asked with a smile.
“Master, I…”
Beiming Xue looked at Su Zimo, wanting to say something but stopped.
When Su Zimo saw Beiming Xue’s odd expression, he paused and turned to ask, “Why? What happened?”
Beiming Xue took a deep breath of air. “Master, I entered the Ninth Transformation of the Martial Dao, Dragon Elephant Force, during my fight with some Nascent Souls of the Dongfang aristocratic family in the Ximen villa. Thereafter, I cultivated a Bloodline phenomenon as well.”
“Yes,”
Su Zimo nodded. “Speaking of which, your Bloodline phenomenon is indeed rather shocking. There’s a terrifying demon beast hidden within the Beiming Ocean!”
“If I’m not wrong, there’s a high chance that this demon beast is from one of the Primordial Nine Races, the Kun race!”
Beiming Xue had a lost expression. “I don’t know either. However, the moment my Bloodline phenomenon appeared, I vaguely sensed that something was calling to me from Beiming Town.”
“Hmm?”
Su Zimo’s heart stirred and he narrowed his eyes in deep thought.
“Do you still have that feeling?”
Su Zimo asked.
“Yes!”
Beiming Xue nodded.
“Let’s go! We’ll check out Beiming Town!”
Su Zimo said before speeding towards Beiming Town with Beiming Xue.
Before long, the two of them returned to Beiming Town.
“How is it?”
Su Zimo asked.
Beiming Xue closed her eyes to sense and nodded. “It should be here, but I don’t know what it is exactly.”
“Is there anything special about Beiming Town?”
Su Zimo looked at the town and asked.
Beiming Xue smiled bitterly. “There’s nothing much. Over the years, Beiming Town has been searched by cultivators of the three aristocratic families. Even if a rock was passed down from the ancient era, it would have been taken away by the cultivators of the three aristocratic families, let alone treasures or secret skills.”
“Where’s the ancestral hall?”
Su Zimo asked again.
Under normal circumstances, the ancestral hall of a clan was the most important place for a family clan and might contain some secrets.
Beiming Xue shook her head. “The ancestral hall has been torn down by the three aristocratic families countless times over the years. This ancestral hall was built by descendants and can’t be anything special.”
Pausing for a moment, she continued, “The only thing special about this town is that it was the origin of the Beiming clan. It can be considered as our final place of belonging.
Su Zimo fell into deep thought.
A moment later, Beiming Xue could not help but ask, “Master, are you guessing that my feeling has something to do with the secret guarded by the Beiming aristocratic family?”
“It’s highly possible!”
Su Zimo nodded and did not hide his thoughts.
Beiming Xue shook her head. “However, if there’s truly some secret in Beiming Town, it would have been discovered a long time ago. The Beiming clan has been passed down and has thousands of clansmen. Why am I the only one with such a strange feeling?”
When he heard that question, Su Zimo’s eyes lit up as he blurted, “Bloodline!”
“What?”
Beiming Xue asked instinctively without understanding.
Su Zimo said in a deep voice, “You once said that the cultivation techniques and treasures of the Beiming aristocratic family were divided among the three aristocratic families and declined day by day.”
“Restricted by the three aristocratic families to this place without any cultivation resources, nobody could travel outside. Therefore, there haven’t been any powerful cultivators born over the years.”
“Right now, the strongest in the Beiming family are only Nascent Souls,”
Beiming Xue said, “However, I’m only at the Golden Core realm and can’t compare to my predecessors.”
“You’re different from them,”
Su Zimo said, “You’ve cultivated a Bloodline phenomenon!”
Beiming Xue opened her mouth slightly and gradually understood.
Su Zimo said, “Cultivating a Bloodline phenomenon is equivalent to awakening some power within your bloodline. That’s the reason why you could sense something within Beiming Town!”
Beiming Xue’s heart started racing.
She could also vaguely sense that the secret guarded by the Beiming aristocratic family was very likely about to be unveiled!
“B-But what is that secret? How do we find it?”
Beiming Xue felt her mouth go dry and asked.
“Bloodline,”
Su Zimo said deeply, “Perhaps your bloodline is the key!”
Without hesitation, Beiming Xue flicked her sharp fingernails and scratched her wrist gently.
Instantly, a scar appeared on his wrist.
Given Beiming Xue’s current physique, even connate spirit weapons would have difficulty injuring her—they were not even as sharp as her fingernails!
Fresh blood flowed out and dripped onto the ground beneath her.
The blood seeped into the mud and vanished.
There was a long silence.
A look of disappointment flashed through Beiming Xue’s eyes.
All of a sudden!
The ground quaked!
Immediately after, an extremely terrifying aura burst forth and the entire Beiming Town trembled violently as the ground quaked!
Many Beiming Town clansmen shouted and fled in all directions.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
Beams of light broke through the mud and dust, bursting forth from underground and illuminating the void.
“It’s an ancient seal!”
Su Zimo narrowed his gaze at the light and exclaimed softly.
To think that an ancient seal was hidden beneath Beiming Town and the opportunity to trigger it was actually the bloodline of the Beiming clan.
However, the prerequisite was that someone from the Beiming clan had to be able to cultivate a Bloodline phenomenon and awaken the true power of the Beiming clan’s bloodline!
When he saw that, Su Zimo felt a little sad.
Throughout history, the three aristocratic families had never given up on exploring the secrets of the Beiming clan.
However, under the pressure of the three aristocratic families, it was difficult for their clansmen to cultivate. It was already rare for them to cultivate a Golden Core phenomenon, let alone a Bloodline phenomenon.
That was the reason why the secret of the Beiming clan was buried for so long without being discovered.
The three aristocratic families racked their brains and resorted to unscrupulous means. However, they did not expect that this secret was killed by them personally!
A freak combination of circumstances caused Su Zimo to arrive at Beiming Town. He wanted to sever his karma by taking in Beiming Xue as a disciple and imparting his Dao to her.
If not for that, the secret of the Beiming clan would probably be buried forever.
