Chapter 509: The Power of the Xiao Clan's Bloodline
🕑 Added 2025-01-03 21:49:05 +0000 UTCChapter 509: The Power of the Xiao Clan's Bloodline
Xiao Ze's mood grew heavy. Xiao Xuan had waited for thousands of years in the Heaven Tomb, hoping to pass on the power of the Dou Di bloodline to a descendant of the Xiao Clan. Though only a thousand years had passed outside, the time within the Heaven Tomb was different. A thousand years outside equaled six thousand years within the Heaven Tomb. This long wait had been a significant torment for Xiao Xuan. He had no way of knowing if his wait would ever be meaningful. Would the Xiao Clan be completely extinct, leaving no descendants? Even if some bloodline remained, would anyone be able to reach the level of the ancient clans and gain the Gu Clan's recognition to enter the Heaven Tomb?
Xiao Xuan endured this uncertainty and torment for six thousand years. Today, he finally met a descendant of the Xiao Clan. Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Ze with eyes full of expectation and a hint of relief. This look made Xiao Ze feel a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Standing by the pool, which had turned into a blood pool due to the influx of the bloodline's power, Xiao Ze felt an extreme, terrifying pressure. Despite this, he felt a sense of familiarity, and his blood began to flow rapidly within him, resonating with the power in the pool. It was as if he could hear a joyful, eager sound from within his body.
"Xiao Ze, enter the blood pool and inherit the last of the Xiao Clan's Dou Di bloodline..." Xiao Xuan, now with white hair and an aged face, spoke with a raspy voice. Despite his age, there was a faint glimmer of hope in his eyes—a hope for his descendant. The Xiao Clan had not reached complete despair. Xiao Ze was their only hope.
Xiao Ze approached the pool. As he stepped into the blood pool, the blood-red energy immediately pierced into his body like countless needles. Seeing this, Xiao Xuan hurriedly explained, "It might be painful at first. The bloodline's power needs to cleanse your ordinary blood completely before infusing you with the Dou Di bloodline's power. This is the first step of the inheritance, a process called blood replacement."
Despite Xiao Xuan's warning, Xiao Ze remained calm and sat down in the pool. He showed no signs of discomfort from the excruciating pain of the bloodline infusion. Even Xiao Xuan, with all his experience, was amazed by Xiao Ze's resilience.
The intense pain and the feeling of his ordinary blood being forcibly expelled caused a severe tearing sensation throughout Xiao Ze's body. Yet, he remained composed, showing no reaction. The additional effects from his initial rewards and the hundredfold feedback had benefited Xiao Ze immensely, even at this stage.
However, the loss of blood quickly drained the color from Xiao Ze's face, making him appear extremely pale and weak. Since embarking on his cultivation path, Xiao Ze had never felt such weakness. This new sensation was almost novel to him. Despite the pain and weakness, Xiao Ze's will remained unwavering.
Seeing Xiao Ze's exceptional performance, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but nod in approval. Xiao Xuan recognized that Xiao Ze's resolve and deep reserves were far beyond his expectations, nearly perfect.
Xun'er, witnessing Xiao Ze's pallor and extreme weakness for the first time, felt anxious. She clenched her hands in worry. To calm her, Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry. His will is incredibly strong. What he's enduring now is just a minor storm for him. Moreover, his physical resilience is extraordinary. Even if the inheritance fails, his body will remain unharmed."
Xiao Xuan was amazed by Xiao Ze's physical resilience. Even though Xiao Ze was a descendant of the Xiao Clan and a human cultivator, his physical toughness was unparalleled, possibly exceeding the top magical beasts.
"Is what Senior Xiao Xuan said true?" Xun'er asked, still concerned.
"Haha, you underestimate your boyfriend. Xiao Ze's physical foundation is incredibly deep, rivaling the top magical beasts. Even I have never seen a human cultivator with such a robust physical foundation," Xiao Xuan laughed.
Xiao Xuan explained, "Ordinary people who fail the inheritance often suffer severe blood loss, leading to foundational damage. But with Xiao Ze's physical resilience, the worst-case scenario would only require a few days of rest to recover fully without any foundational damage."
Xiao Xuan, delighted by Xiao Ze's performance, found his expectations continually surpassed.
Relieved, Xun'er softly said, "Then we can only wait and see..."
