C1038 Bloodline Advancement!!(2)

Yu Yuan sat up straight, his face suddenly taking on a grave expression.

The matter involved a Primordial Spirit, a being even he, as the former Medicine God Hong Qi, knew little about. His curiosity was now thoroughly aroused.

"His death is the reason I became the Peach Madam in the Iridescent Cloud Miasma Sea. His demise was at the hands of the three great upper sects! Part of me has always been too fearful to direct my anger towards the upper sects because, like him, I too hail from the Profound Sky Sect."

"We were both from the same sect. He briefly reached the Primordial Spirit Stage, but tragically, his ascension was doomed from the start."

"Someone needed him to go to a place and fight to the death against foreign adversaries. His exalted position was only temporary, as the upper sects had other plans for it. He merely occupied it for a short time. The cost was the utter destruction of his soul and body."

"..."

Hu Caiyun's voice started out charged with emotion, but it slowly settled into a chilling calm.

Without mentioning any specific names or details, Yu Yuan grasped the essence of her story.

The three great upper sects had sacrificed her beloved, aiding his fleeting rise to the Primordial Spirit Stage, only to have him perish in an instant.

All this was to ensure he completed a suicidal mission, drawing in foreign experts as collateral damage.

Hu Caiyun, also of the Profound Sky Sect, revered her master... the current Sect Master of the Profound Sky Sect! Despite knowing that her beloved's death was orchestrated by the upper sects, and ultimately by her master's will, she couldn't bring herself to confront or rebel against them.

Thus, the seed of hatred that had taken root deep within her soul merged with the toxic miasma, giving birth to her inner demon.

This new Hu Caiyun was ready to confront her master, to seek justice at all costs, unlike her former self who had vanished, refined by circumstance. Perhaps it was also a way for her to embrace a new, radical identity, to demand answers and undertake actions she previously wouldn't have dared consider.

"After all that, what exactly do you need my help with?" Yu Yuan inquired succinctly.

"I'll do my best to help you with any troubles you encounter on this journey. However, if we come across someone too powerful for me to defeat, that's a different story," Hu Caiyun stated earnestly.

"What would you like me to do?" Yu Yuan pressed.

"Introduce me to the Divine Soul Sect. I want to join them and stand against my master. One day, I hope to confront him without fear and demand answers!" Hu Caiyun declared.

"How do you know I can do that?" Yu Yuan asked, puzzled.

"You've obtained the Dragon Slash Platform, so I'm convinced you have a profound connection with the Divine Soul Sect! I've told you, I hail from the Profound Sky Sect. My former lover was a Primordial Spirit. I understand what the Dragon Slash Platform signifies and whom it represents!" Peach Madam's face was unusually grave. "The Dragon Slash Platform is the Divine Soul Sect's most treasured artifact! If you can wield it, you must have mastered their secret techniques!"

Yu Yuan regarded her intently, musing for a while, "Do you remember Heixun?"

"That was before I had changed my mindset," Hu Caiyun's gaze was fiery. "Back then, I hadn't fully committed to the idea and didn't dare to raise my sword against the upper sects."

"Alright," Yu Yuan nodded slowly, "I agree to help you."

Hu Caiyun beamed with a radiant smile.

Boom!

Just then, the sound of a building collapsing echoed around them. Yu Yuan and Hu Caiyun, momentarily taken aback, quickly dashed outside.

They witnessed the square stone building reduced to a heap of stones.

From beneath the massive pile, Elena's pained cries rang out. With her roars, the boulders, as large as millstones, were blasted into flying debris.

The Asura warrior, who had narrowly escaped death by Peach Madam's poison, stood frozen in shock before the mound of stones.

Pattinson, Hart, and others gazed curiously at the heap of rubble.

Boom! Boom!

Columns of blood energy sent the debris soaring into the sky. Elena swung her arms, her eyes brimming with excitement, and her triumphant shouts resounded like thunder, "I've achieved a breakthrough in my bloodline! From this moment on, I am an Eighth Level Bloodline Warrior!"

"Ah?!"

The Asura warrior became instantly animated, rushing forward to take a closer look.

An overwhelmingly potent surge of flesh and blood energy burst forth from Elena's chest. He was absolutely certain that Elena, despite her tender age, had indeed broken through to the Eighth Level Bloodline!

Such a young Eighth Level Bloodline warrior was exceedingly rare, even within the Asura Clan!

Pattinson from the Shadow Clan covertly investigated and was convinced that Elena wasn't bluffing—she truly was a genuine Eighth Level Asura Warrior.

He was also aware that Elena's Seventh Level Bloodline had long been well-established, providing her with a solid foundation for further advancement.

Yet, just like the progression of a human's realm, a bloodline's major breakthrough was notoriously challenging. A minor barrier could cause the bloodline to stagnate for centuries.

Pattinson recalled Elena's father mentioning that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it would take her at least several decades to progress her bloodline.

How then had time been so drastically shortened?

While Pattinson pondered in astonishment, he noticed Elena, eyes gleaming, staring intently at the equally surprised Yu Yuan, as if she had just had a revelation.

Could it be...

Lost in thought, Pattinson watched as Elena swiftly positioned herself in front of Yu Yuan and Hu Caiyun.

"You, you want to gain those powers from him too?" Elena glared fiercely at Hu Caiyun, her stance suggesting she was ready for a life-or-death confrontation. "Yu Yuan is my man! I won't allow you to entertain any ill intentions towards him! Besides, you're human. He might impregnate you, but that won't lead to a transformation of your bloodline!"

What was this all about?

Hu Caiyun was utterly baffled. She turned to Yu Yuan and asked, "What is this mad girl rambling about? What do you mean by 'you can impregnate me, but I can't undergo a bloodline transformation?'"

"Crazy girl, if you want to throw a fit, do it somewhere else and don't spoil my mood," Hu Caiyun retorted with annoyance.

Pregnancy? Bloodline transformation?

Pattinson, Hart, and other members from different races connected the dots between Elena's recent peculiar behavior and her current bloodline advancement. It seemed they were beginning to grasp the deeper implications.

Suddenly, their looks toward Yu Yuan shifted, taking on a peculiar cast.

"Quit spouting nonsense," Yu Yuan chuckled uneasily, trying to prevent Elena from making any more outrageous statements.

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

Elena, with a defiant air, nudged Hu Caiyun aside from Yu Yuan and looped her arm through his, declaring with warmth, "You're my man. My bloodline's rapid advancement is all thanks to you! Even though you're a human from the vast expanses, you're not like the rest!"

The scents of various racial bloods within the Life Altar inside Yu Yuan's body gave her absolute certainty.

The man Elena had chosen was extraordinary, not merely a human.

"Hey! My father, my father is in Lord Calves's domain!"
