Chapter 801 The Imperial Dynasty’s Astonishing Secret
But in the Celestial Vault above, the crimson light that illuminated half the sky grew even more intense and vivid.
Purple Emperor looked up. Then, he heard a low voice coming from the sky.
"But we of the Phoenix Clan no longer wish to trust you."
"We should not have trusted you when you took Floating Flame away."
Purple Emperor stood motionless. A sudden thunderclap boomed across the sky. He lifted his eyes. Beneath his mask, a flash of purple light gleamed in his gaze.
The next second, a huge red beam of light tore through the heavens, shooting straight toward Purple Emperor!
Purple Emperor stood unmoving, as if he could not see it at all.
This light rushed toward him... yet his expression remained calm and composed. He reached out his hand and lightly tapped the empty space in front of him—the falling raindrops began to transform, gradually forming a watery barrier.
Something floated out from within the folds of Purple Emperor’s purple robes. It looked like a large seal, positioning itself before him.
When the red light struck the water barrier, its brilliance had already dimmed somewhat.
Purple Emperor’s large seal instantly grew bigger. The red light crashed into it, producing a rumbling roar upon impact.
Purple Emperor looked up, his gaze fixed directly on the Celestial Vault above. Then he spoke softly.
"Do you truly intend to fight me?"
"You are not my match."
These words, spoken by him, sounded certain and domineering.
The opposing light flickered faintly.
A long time passed before the voice from the other side spoke again.
"But you owe us a great favor."
Purple Emperor’s voice was very soft.
"I said, I will give your Phoenix Clan an explanation. But not now... you need to wait a little longer."
The voice from the other side instantly grew restless and agitated.
"But we have already waited long enough!"
Purple Emperor fell silent.
He said in a low voice,
"There will be a result."
He looked up at the Celestial Vault, then reached out his hand. The next second, a small stream of flowing light flashed past his fingertip.
That stream of light flew toward the Celestial Vault.
A deep sigh echoed through the sky.
As Ye Xuanyue walked down, she felt her heart tighten. Instinctively, she knew which direction to go.
The staircase was very long. Ye Xuanyue did not know how long she had been walking.
Only when she saw the door before her did she stop.
It was a very peculiar door.
On the door, a crystal ball was inlaid!
This crystal ball was almost transparent. Ye Xuanyue approached it. Then, without the slightest hesitation, she placed her palm upon the crystal ball.
It seemed natural—she just knew this was what she should do.
The next second, the crystal ball slowly began to glow, emitting a faint, soft light.
Ye Xuanyue could feel the sensation of her Bloodline surging within her body. Her Spiritual Veins seemed to tremble inside her.
She lifted her head slightly and bit her lip.
Little White spoke softly beside her.
"This is a type of magical artifact for Bloodline detection, but it is extremely rare. I heard most were destroyed long ago. I never expected one to remain here."
She paused. The next second, even the Little Fox’s pupils flashed with a trace of shock!
Because within the seemingly transparent sphere, golden lights began to slowly emerge, one after another.
These strands of golden light appeared, quickly connecting with each other—like veins of blood seeping through, intertwining as they spread.
But Ye Xuanyue had an even stranger feeling.
She felt as if the glass sphere beneath her palm was breathing!
She stared blankly as those golden lines gradually finished appearing, finally forming a unique golden emblem.
The next second, Ye Xuanyue felt a vibration in her palm.
This door... slowly began to open.
Ye Xuanyue looked up at the unknown, deep corridor ahead. Then she took a deep breath and walked forward.
The young girl’s figure appeared very determined.
Leng Moran followed behind her, silently saying nothing.
Little White looked somewhat worriedly at the girl heading straight into the depths, but she blinked her eyes, hesitated little, and directly leaped up to land on Ye Xuanyue’s shoulder.
Ye Xuanyue turned her head and gently stroked the Little Fox’s back, her voice carrying a touch of fondness.
"It’s alright. Let’s go."
It was very dark inside. Ye Xuanyue walked forward quietly, not lighting anything. She did not even worry about traps here—in fact, as she walked all the way in, she encountered none.
Ye Xuanyue took a few steps forward—
Then her gaze froze slightly.
This place...
She looked up. It was an empty room. Faint light illuminated the surroundings, its source being gems inlaid on the ceiling. But what surprised Ye Xuanyue the most was that there were actually bas-relief carvings on the walls.
These carvings appeared very exquisite.
Ye Xuanyue’s brow furrowed slightly. She started looking from the first one onward.
The more she looked, the more surprised she felt in her heart.
She lowered her head, realizing that this time, she had truly stumbled into a rather incredible place.
Inside here—it seemed to hide a heaven-shaking secret.
These bas-relief carvings were not even as exquisite as the scattered statues outside.
But they told a complete story.
A story about a heaven-shaking secret hidden upon the Lingtian Continent.
Ye Xuanyue looked through them from beginning to end.
A long, long time ago, before the people of the Spirit Martial Continent came to the Lingtian Continent—the humans of the Lingtian Continent did not possess any Bloodline Power.
The humans and Spirit Beasts of the Spirit Martial Continent, due to the scarcity of Spiritual Energy, discovered the Lingtian Continent. They wanted to seize its resources. The natives of the Lingtian Continent were no match for these strange invaders who had crossed the continent back then.
For a time, they suffered defeat after defeat.
Back then, the Imperial Dynasty was not what it was today.
And that group of people who crossed over from the Spirit Martial Continent were the most powerful ones!
At that time, the Spirit Martial Continent had not yet declined. Most of those invaders were Great Powers who had inherited complete Ancient Times legacies. Various top sects came one after another, seeking to plunder this continent.
The Lingtian Continent was initially at a disadvantage. It even nearly became a vassal of the Spirit Martial Continent!
But the natives of the Lingtian Continent—the reason they could obtain Bloodline Power and fight back—was because of a single drop of golden blood that fell from the sky!
No one knew where that drop of blood came from.
However, it merged into the body of the first founder of the Imperial Dynasty.
From then on, he awakened his Bloodline and obtained a unique, extraordinary ability.
That person had originally been just an ordinary cultivator. After that drop of blood entered his body, according to the statues, his whole body turned golden. He became powerful!
The further Ye Xuanyue read, the more astonished she felt.
So the Bloodline Power of the people of the Lingtian Continent was not innate at all.
Later, that person seemed to have gone to some mysterious place and brought back a large amount of blood. He merged it into the bodies of the cultivators of the Lingtian Continent, allowing them to obtain various incredible divine abilities.
They became powerful overnight.
Once this kind of blood merged into the body, it changed the person’s entire physique. Even their descendants would inherit this Bloodline!
