The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 822 - 333: Ancestral Blood of Asura, The Sealed Truth_2

For ten whole days, the pain subsided, and consciousness gradually cleared.

"It’s done, I have successfully changed your blood for you,"

"From now on, you will control the way of the ’Instructor’, facing dangers alone, venturing the world alone."

"Additionally, this drop of Ancestral Blood of Asura is gifted to you. Do not take it yourself; instead, give it to a close kin or a friend in adversity,"

"To keep the Heavenly secrets hidden, I will seal your soul and lock the true words. You must not reveal anything about this..."

...

Recalling all these experiences, Ye Hanjun was emotionally shaken and couldn’t calm down for a long time.

He slowly recounted these stories to Ye Tianzi.

Upon hearing everything, Ye Tianzi slightly raised his eyebrows, not too surprised,

"As expected."

"Since it’s Ye Shura’s fallback, it was bound to activate."

"However, what I didn’t expect was that He actually messed up and took a heavy fall."

"What do you mean by these words?"

Ye Liuying, suppressing the shock in her heart, hastily asked.

"He thought He could strip the descendants of their bloodline, creating a rift between this lad and the Ye Clan; this would facilitate another type of inheritance to operate normally."

"Though it’s unclear whether it’s due to the intricacies of the ’Instructor’ itself or the Heavenly Dao noticing signs, anyway, when you awakened your authority, you revived the Ye Clan’s bloodline too, holding two different authorities simultaneously."

"Thus, the possibility of you achieving Crown Rank becomes incredibly slim."

Ye Tianzi walked around Ye Hanjun, nodding repeatedly and said regretfully,

"Poor lad, even without the Ancestral Blood, you could still have become the Innate Prince."

"Having been stripped and then revived, strength is insufficient, status naturally slides down a great deal."

"Under such circumstances, still preserving the Young King’s bloodline is simply a miracle."

"Senior, it was clearly the Ancestor who commanded me to give it to someone else, so why couldn’t Liuying achieve the body of Young Emperor by taking it?"

Ye Hanjun neither laughed nor cried; with a flicker of thought, he suddenly asked a tricky question.

"You guess?"

Ye Tianzi played coy, his eyes smiling,

"I’ve already guessed the reason, but unfortunately, the time isn’t right to tell you."

"Eventually, one day in the future, you’ll understand the truth yourself, and then, you won’t be confused anymore."

"..."

Ye Hanjun opened his mouth, at a loss for words.

This blood-clothed youngster was like an old mischief clad in young skin, childishness intact, blooming extravagantly.

"Alright, don’t waste time anymore."

"Let’s assume it’s the Heartless Heavenly Dao wanting to kill you, to stop the Ye Clan from regaining the Crown Rank throne."

"Now, the countermeasures are simple, just to break the jar and sink the boat to the end."

"Senior, please speak clearly." Ye Hanjun said, clasping his hands together.

"To put it plainly, I know absolutely nothing about the pathway’s corresponding Crown Rank for ’Instructor’; I’m completely clueless."

"You are the only one walking this path, the only inheritor in the vast world; the difficulties and fortunes within are for you alone to comprehend."

Ye Tianzi flexed his wrists and rolled his neck, speaking in a reckless manner,

"To be honest, I also have the qualifications and ability to erase the bloodline of the Yushi Clan members."

"Would you like to go through another blood change? Maybe Ye Shura failed exactly because I was missing."

"Another change, and you might be purified."

"If you could completely break away from the Ye Clan’s inherited authority and follow only the way of the Instructor, the Heavenly Dao might no longer view you as a foe but become incredibly favorable... tsk, tsk, tsk, just thinking about it is wonderful, quite tempting," he teased.

"Senior, let’s not joke around anymore."

Ye Hanjun shook his head, "I haven’t officially awakened yet, and even the blood change has failed."

"Now that I’ve reached the 6th status, suddenly erasing authority, whether I can survive is another uncertainty."

"You’re pretty aware, lad."

Ye Tianzi laughed heartily, "Then there’s only the second plan left."

"Pfft!"

A spinning drop of black-red blood bead, like a tear stain, appeared to be falling.

"Eight drops of the Ancestral Blood of Asura, four in the Ancestral Shrine Hall, four in the great tomb, representing two different channels of opportunities."

"However, one drop was absorbed by me, considered as routine loss over tens of thousands of years."

"This drop, once you absorb it, will complete the Young Emperor’s bloodline and return to S-class authority strength."

Upon these words, Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying both gasped, eyes wide with astonishment.

They stared intently at the spinning blood bead, their throats moving as if they were forcefully suppressing some deep inner desire.

"This... this... Ye Hanjun, are you going to become the Young Emperor?"

Ye Liuying murmured, beneath her gaze lay a mixture of being caught off guard and ecstatic jubilation.

Ye Hanjun, for her sake, had refused to absorb the Blood of the Ancestor and thus, had constantly faced the clan’s criticism - this matter was like a wound which, even healed, still left ghastly scars lingering in the mind.

Now enlightened, there were secrets beyond appearances.

Ye Liuying felt less guilty, instead becoming genuinely happy, highly anticipating Ye Hanjun’s complete transformation.

"Senior... with the Ancestral Blood being so scarce, are you still willing to wager on me?"

"Isn’t this cost too heavy?"

"Ah, you’ve spoken wrongly!"

Ye Tianzi hummed a cheerful tune, contentedly saying,

"The clanspeople only know there’s a Young King Hall in the tomb, which can spawn more Young Kings."

"But they have explored time and again and have never found the Young Emperor Hall, thus abandoning the idea of an acquired Young Emperor."

"Why is that? Of course, it’s because... I must sleep!"

"In a non-awakened state, no one supervises the Young Emperor’s inheritance, naturally, this fortune won’t leak out."
