Chapter 797 Nuonuo’s Blood Backflow Stone
The man’s forehead had already begun to sweat. His gaze was fixed on Ye Xuanyue, his eyes darting nervously.
The girl before him was far too sharp.
He hesitated for a long time, then finally spoke in a low voice.
“Nuonuo…?”
Ye Xuanyue’s eyes were extremely clear.
She gave a light smile.
“Do I need to say more?
Nuonuo passed through here back then, and he helped you greatly.
If not for Nuonuo, your little village would probably have been destroyed twenty years ago. You would not have survived until today.”
Ye Xuanyue raised an eyebrow and spoke softly.
“Even if you refuse to tell me, I do not necessarily have to rely on you to find that thing.”
Her brow furrowed slightly. The next moment, she drew a far more complicated mark in the air with her hand.
At once, a faint light appeared not far away.
Ye Xuanyue’s expression held a trace of certainty.
“You hid it there?”
She spoke gently.
“Come with me to take a look.”
Her gaze turned toward Leng Moran. He nodded, then walked with Ye Xuanyue toward that spot.
The remaining people looked at one another.
They wanted to step forward to stop them, but none had the nerve.
The middle-aged man at the Martial Emperor Level also remained silent, his expression ugly and uncertain.
Ye Xuanyue walked a few steps ahead.
Before them stood a dilapidated hut. It looked ordinary, as though a strong wind might blow it down at any moment.
Ye Xuanyue saw the faint white light inside. Without hesitation, she dashed in.
The source of the light was a stone.
This stone was not very large.
Ye Xuanyue stared at it. Leng Moran, too, seemed unable to identify its origin. He looked stunned.
It was Little White who suddenly spoke in a low voice.
“This kind of stone is called a Blood Backflow Stone.
It must be activated by Bloodline Power.
Only after activation can we know what this stone hides.
If this stone was truly left by Nuonuo, then it can only be activated by the Bloodline Power of his family.”
But Little White’s words did not make Ye Xuanyue worry. Her brow furrowed lightly, and she said softly,
“I understand.”
Others might not have been clear, but Ye Xuanyue understood well.
She knew who possessed the exact same Bloodline as Nuonuo.
Once they returned to the Imperial City and found Boji, this stone could naturally be activated.
Ye Xuanyue’s gaze lingered on the stone for a moment. She reached out her hand and placed it into her Space.
She thought for a moment, then looked at Little White and pressed further.
“What exactly is the use of a Blood Backflow Stone?”
…
Little White blinked. It seemed hesitant, and only after a good while did it speak softly.
“The main use of a Blood Backflow Stone relates to Bloodline Power. I am not very clear about the purpose of this particular stone right now. It will probably only become clear after it is activated.”
Ye Xuanyue nodded. Little White looked at her, then continued.
“Master, you were in real danger just now.”
Leng Moran also glanced at Ye Xuanyue, his eyes holding a hint of self-blame.
He thought it had been his own momentary carelessness that led Ye Xuanyue to touch that Stone Monument.
But Ye Xuanyue shook her head. She thought for a moment, then whispered something to Leng Moran via sound transmission.
Leng Moran’s expression gradually shifted to one of surprise.
He lowered his head, deep in thought.
Little White, watching the two speak in riddles, spoke bluntly.
“The reason that Cultivation Method is like a curse for members of this family is because their Bloodline Power clashes too fiercely with it.
Simply put, this Cultivation Method requires both a Spiritual Vein and a Bloodline Power that are too advanced.
They were also missing the earlier parts of the method, so they recklessly practiced it without knowing better.
In the short term, their Cultivation Strength did advance rapidly.
But when the time came, the drawbacks immediately appeared. Once they reached the Martial Emperor Realm, the Bloodline Power and the Cultivation Method completely clashed, triggering an extremely terrible backlash.
The Spiritual Vein and Bloodline Power deteriorated rapidly because they could not withstand the method, and instead were backlashed. It was as if they had consumed all their future lifespan in advance.”
Leng Moran’s brow furrowed deeply. Little White then looked at its Master.
Ye Xuanyue blinked and continued from where Little White left off.
“I obtained this Cultivation Method earlier and have already started practicing it.
The version I received documented it very clearly. This Cultivation Method is only suitable for people with a top-tier Spiritual Vein. If one has not reached that level and rashly practices it, they only harm themselves.”
She thought for a moment, then explained further.
“This Cultivation Method has slight differences from the version I obtained. The one I had was a hand-copied version, which should have been improved. This one here is very likely the original version of the method I once acquired at the Academy.
It seems to require not only the Spiritual Vein but also Bloodline Power. Yet it could fuse with me.
This kind of Cultivation Method suits me very well. It might have a special connection with some Bloodline of my parents.”
The more Ye Xuanyue spoke, the more serious her expression became. She paused, then continued.
“For them, that Stone Monument was poison. For me, it was not.”
The hand-copied version she had obtained earlier was missing a part. This Stone Monument happened to complete it.
Ye Xuanyue lifted her head and said softly,
“Nuonuo actually came here…”
She had some speculations in her heart.
Could Nuonuo’s presence here be related to the place the Purple Emperor insisted she must go?
This place was filled with a sense of hidden strangeness.
Ye Xuanyue’s gaze gradually grew serious.
Bloodline Power…
Everything pointed to Bloodline Power.
What Zhang Yulian wanted was also her Bloodline Power.
What the Purple Emperor likely sought to use was also her Bloodline Power.
What kind of power exactly was her Bloodline Power, that made others so eager to obtain it?
Or were there other hidden reasons within all this?
Ye Xuanyue took a deep breath, then said softly to Leng Moran,
“Let’s leave this place first.
Let’s go look somewhere else.”
Leng Moran nodded.
…
When Ye Xuanyue walked out, she did not even glance at the stunned people on the side.
That expert at the Martial Emperor Level, however, lifted his head, looked at the voice of this incredibly beautiful girl, and suddenly spoke.
“Wait…!”
Ye Xuanyue turned her face. His expression was ferocious. He glared at her, and the next second, Ye Xuanyue heard him say,
“You can’t take that stone!”
Ye Xuanyue’s expression remained exceedingly calm.
“Why can’t I?”
“That thing never belonged to you in the first place.
Nuonuo said he would take it back.”
The man’s face turned a mix of green and purple.
“But he’s not here anymore!”
Ye Xuanyue’s expression stayed completely unruffled, but her words carried a resolute tone.
“Then I’ll take it back in his place.”
