Chapter 275: Blood of the War Ancestor
After silently observing Sun Zhe for a while, Chiyou remained silent as well. Sun Zhe calmly met Chiyou's gaze, having understood his words and truly awakened to the reality.
Sun Zhe was not foolish; he had merely been blinded by a layer of fog. The mindset of being too close to the situation often made it difficult to see everything clearly. When the long-standing mystery was finally unraveled, it left him with an incredulous feeling, leading his thoughts down a convoluted path. However, Chiyou's words pulled him out of that confusion and allowed him to see everything clearly.
He was Sun Zhe, not anyone else—neither the Sun Zhe from Thunder Continent nor the Sun Jian from Blade Domain. They were part of him, but he was still Sun Zhe!
As Buddhism teaches, enlightenment is enlightenment; understanding is understanding. These concepts can only be grasped intuitively and cannot be fully expressed in words. When Sun Zhe saw everything clearly, he also truly understood the path he needed to take. Whether it was Sun Zhe or Sun Jian, they were essentially the same person.
"Indeed, you did not disappoint me; it was worth my effort to obtain this drop of Blood of the War Ancestor for you!" A glint of brilliance flashed in Chiyou's eyes as he waved his right hand, and a drop of purple-brown blood appeared before Sun Zhe.
At that moment when the drop of purple-brown blood emerged, the entire room was enveloped in a strange light. The surrounding space seemed to be isolated in an instant, and an indescribable aura spread out. A tidal wave of emotions surged within Sun Zhe's heart, forcing him to involuntarily take a few steps back, his eyes filled with disbelief.
This drop of blood made him feel an urge to kneel and worship!
"What kind of blood is this?" Sun Zhe suddenly looked up at Chiyou, astonished as he asked. He had never seen such blood before; it carried such overwhelming willpower that anyone with even slightly less determination might truly kneel down.
"What do you think of the power of the War Clan Totem?"
Chiyou did not answer Sun Zhe's question but instead suddenly asked him about the War Clan Totem.
"Very good!" Sun Zhe frowned, unsure of what Chiyou meant by that question, but he answered earnestly. Although due to the limitations of his Beast Soul energy, the enhancement effect of the War Clan Totem had decreased significantly, this did not prevent him from having a favorable view of it. If he could cultivate his Beast Soul energy in the future, the enhancement effect would also improve.
"No, you are mistaken. The War Clan Totem is one of the most important Divine Abilities of the War Clan. The War Clan has been able to dominate among the hundred clans largely due to the role played by the War Clan Totem. However, in your hands, it has not even unleashed half its true power." To Sun Zhe's surprise, Chiyou directly refuted his answer.
"It is not because your Qualification is poor or your combat talent is lacking; rather, it is because you are not a true member of the War Clan and do not possess a genuine Warrior Clan Bloodline. Therefore, fundamentally speaking, you cannot fully unleash the power of the War Clan Totem. This drop of blood can make you a true member of the War Clan. I now give you a choice: are you willing to integrate this drop of blood into your bloodline? Let me clarify: if you merge with this drop of blood, your bloodline will be altered, and you will become a true member of the War Clan."
Staring intently at Sun Zhe before him, although Chiyou had obtained this drop of blood, he did not know whether Sun Zhe would be willing to accept it. At least according to Chiyou's character, if Sun Zhe did not want it himself, he would not force him.
However, facing Chiyou's expectant gaze, Sun Zhe smiled instead. "Brother Chiyou, does it really matter whether I am a member of the War Clan? Aren't they still part of humanity? You are being too obsessed."
Hearing Sun Zhe's response, Chiyou was momentarily taken aback, but then he couldn't help but burst into laughter. Sun Zhe's answer was exactly what he wanted to hear.
"I didn't expect that after I just taught you a lesson, you would turn around and teach me one in return. Well, since that's the case, I will merge this Blood of the War Ancestor into your bloodline, completely altering your fate and blood. This process will last for forty-nine days, and there will be some pain during it; you must endure."
Both were decisive individuals. As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zhe sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and Chiyou did not hesitate either. In a flash, he appeared beside Sun Zhe, pressing a drop of purple-brown blood from his right hand directly above Sun Zhe's head. However, this drop of blood did not enter Sun Zhe's body directly; instead, it hovered above his head, refusing to go in.
Chiyou's hands moved continuously, forming various Ancient divine seals. As he waved his hands, Sun Zhe's body was immediately enveloped in countless brilliant lights, while the drop of purple-brown blood was bound and stopped in mid-air, channeling strange energy into Sun Zhe's head, slowly altering his bloodline.
This process would last for forty-nine days; after that time, the Blood of the War Ancestor would be fully integrated into Sun Zhe's body. However, throughout this time, Sun Zhe had no idea what the Blood of the War Ancestor represented for the War Clan.
Within the War Clan, let alone the Blood of the War Ancestor, even a single drop of ordinary War Ancestor blood was an incredibly precious existence. Generally, only those so-called royal family members or elite individuals within the War Clan were qualified to merge with it. The Blood of the War Ancestor was extremely rare even within the War Clan; a single drop could transform an ordinary human body into one comparable to that of a royal member of the War Clan, highlighting its preciousness.
Of course, Chiyou's pride meant he would not voluntarily tell Sun Zhe any of this. After completing everything, he set up several layers of restrictions in the room before disappearing from it. The subsequent matters no longer required his concern; if Sun Zhe could not merge with this drop of Blood of the War Ancestor himself, then he would truly be out of luck.
When Chiyou reappeared, his figure materialized in the main hall of the underground palace. With his appearance, a tall figure also emerged from the central seat in the hall—none other than the man who had brought Sun Zhe back from the Nine Reincarnation Tower.
"How could those old fellows in the Ancestral Hall give you the Blood of the War Ancestor? The last time I went to them for my disciple, they were incredibly stubborn and refused to give it to me at all. Honestly, did you trade something with them?"
Chiyou's actions might deceive everyone in Duan Mountain, but they could not fool him because he was the master of Duan Mountain—War God Xing.
The name War God Xing was fearsome even among powerful beings in Ancient Times. The top-tier experts who fell at his hands were no fewer than those who perished under Chiyou’s hand; even within the vast War Clan, he was one of the few super existences with significant influence.
Chiyou and Xing had been good brothers since Ancient Times and maintained a strong relationship. After hearing Xing's words, Chiyou had no intention of hiding anything and spoke directly.
"I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay here for these years. I have promised those old fellows that I would go to Nine Abyss and capture a hundred Eight-Winged Demons for them."
"Nine Abyss... Eight-Winged Demon..."
Upon hearing these two names, even Xing couldn't help but change his expression slightly. He suddenly stood up from his seat and deeply looked at Chiyou before slowly sitting back down and exhaling softly.
"I wonder how those old fellows could be so agreeable; it turns out you actually agreed to such a condition. What is your relationship with that person that you are willing to go through so much for him? Your strength has only just recovered to eighty percent; you might end up losing your life..."
"I, Chiyou, can do whatever I want. I have no disciples or children. That child not only saved my life, but I also find him pleasing to the eye. Helping him once is nothing. Moreover, he is the one chosen by those Daoism old fellows, so his future achievements will naturally not be lacking. This can be considered as leaving a way out for my War Clan."
"Alright, alright, you don't need to say anymore. Since I have already promised those old fellows, how can I go back on my word? You don't need to persuade me. I came here to ask you to pass something on to him!"
As soon as the words fell, two Black Objects suddenly appeared in Chiyou's hand. Wrapped in flickering black light were two black square cauldrons. One cauldron had six legs, while the other had seven legs. However, in other aspects, the two Ancient Cauldrons were quite similar, each exuding a strong aura of Vicissitudes, clearly not ordinary items.
"Aren't these the two Demon Cauldrons that suppressed your soul? Why are you giving them to that guy?" Seeing Chiyou take out these two Ancient Cauldrons, Xing asked with some confusion.
"There are a total of nine Demon Cauldrons. Those guys from the demon race used four of them to suppress me back then. The other five were probably used to suppress some powerful being as well. You should give them to Sun Zhe; he also has two Demon Cauldrons in his possession, and his opportunities are deeper than mine. Perhaps he has a chance to gather all nine Demon Cauldrons. Alright, I have nothing more to say. As for you, there's no need for me to worry about you. I'm leaving." With a wave of his right hand, the two black Ancient Cauldrons immediately flew towards Xing, while Chiyou stepped directly towards the palace exit.
"I will."
Nodding slightly, Xing spoke loudly. He understood Chiyou's intention; Chiyou was actually worried that he might fall in the Nine Abyss and did not want these two Demon Cauldrons to gather dust. Giving them to Sun Zhe was naturally the best choice.
Standing quietly in the great hall and watching Chiyou's tall figure slowly disappear, Xing then turned his gaze towards the room in the side hall. A glimmer flickered in his deep eyes as he waved his right hand, and he instantly vanished from the spot.
