Five drops of blood and one drop of purple Soul Blood shined brightly between the eyebrows of the statue. The moment Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo used the power of the nine suns to seal this place, the six drops of blood flew into the sky.
Ripples spread out from the blood sun in the sky, forming a huge vortex. The center of the vortex seemed to be connected to the void. The six drops of blood whistled through the air and disappeared from the gazes of the nearly one million Daoji Clan members.
The last to disappear was the purple Soul Blood. The appearance of this Soul Blood shocked everyone here. Their faces were filled with disbelief, horror, and awe!
They watched the Soul Blood give off a demonic purple glow before disappearing into the vortex. Only then did they awaken. The shock from before became even more intense, and it was as if a raging sea had shrouded their bodies and minds.
"Purple Soul Blood … Heavens, I actually saw purple Soul Blood!!
My Ancient Country has only had nine drops for 10,000 years! "
"Rumor has it that the Ancient Ancestor bestowed nine drops of Soul Blood to his three sons. These three sons each formed their own Ancient Bloodline. My Dao Ji Clan was created by the third son of the Ancient Ancestor and has continued to this day … Now the 10th drop of blood has appeared … This …"
"Who is experiencing the first calamity of the third trial? Since ancient times, no one has ever heard of a Soul Blood appearing in the Ji Clan's Heavenly Blood. This … This is simply too shocking!!
This is definitely a heaven-shaking event for my Ji Clan! "
"The third trial has three calamities. The first calamity is the Ancient Bloodline Heavenly Blood. After obtaining nine drops, there is still one drop of Soul Blood. If the first calamity is already like this, then if he reaches the second calamity, the Ancient Dao Three Soul Splits … What kind of fortune will he obtain?"
"There is still the last calamity, the Ancient Ancestor's Gift. This person has received the recognition of the Ancient Ancestor and can be considered a child. I don't dare to imagine what he will obtain in the third calamity … The legendary Ancient Ancestor's inheritance that no one has been able to obtain in countless years?"
Discussions echoed in the city. Everyone was shocked by that drop of Soul Blood. Fortunately, everything here had been sealed by Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo, and he had used his supreme majesty to force everyone to seal this matter so that no one would know about it.
Otherwise, this matter would set off a monstrous wave on the Immortal Astral Continent. The Ji Ji and Shi Ji Ji clans would immediately come to investigate this matter, and there would even be disputes.
One had to know that the appearance of the tenth drop of soul blood represented too great a significance to the Ji Kingdom. If Wang Lin could obtain two more drops, then he could be like the Ancient Ancestor's three sons back then. He could use his essence blood to create a fourth ancient clan!
In fact, if the Immortals learned of this, they would be shocked. Even if a great war would not break out, they would still send people to pay close attention to it.
All of this was because of this drop of soul blood!
When the six drops of blood disappeared into the vortex in the sky, there was no more blood light between the eyebrows of the statue. All the aura disappeared without a trace. Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo raised his right hand and waved at the blood sun that shrouded this area.
The sun suddenly gave off an even brighter light and split into nearly one million parts. They entered the bodies of all the Ancient Dao members to form a sealing spell.
It wasn't until all of this was over that the sun dissipated and the sky returned to normal. The wind blew by as if it wanted to blow away the shock and tension.
Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo looked into the distance. He didn't hesitate to step forward and disappear without a trace. He was going to the celestial clan, to the Seven Dao Sect, to that cave, to bring his Ancient Dao child home!
After Xuan Luo left, Sky City was silent for a long time. Finally, the man in the imperial robe flicked his sleeve and left, his expression grim. As soon as he left, the rest of the crowd slowly dispersed, their hearts filled with shock.
All of the changes here were buried deep in their hearts as they left. When they scattered, they looked at the direction Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo had left. Their gazes were complicated, envious, jealous, but most of them were filled with anticipation!
They were looking forward to Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo returning and bringing back the person that had shocked them. They were also looking forward to seeing what this person looked like and who he was.
"My Dao Ji clan is the weakest among the three clans of the ancient country … I hope the return of Grand Empyrean will change all of this …" After everyone scattered, the man in the royal robe returned to his palace in the depths of the sky city. This palace was very large, and it was difficult to see the edges with the naked eye. It was extremely luxurious and was filled with carvings.
There were many servants in the palace, but they were all pale and very cautious. Their fear came from the terrifying aura coming from the Ancient Dao Emperor's palace in the eastern part of the palace.
This aura revealed an irrepressible anger.
Rumbling sounds echoed throughout the palace. The emperor's residence suddenly collapsed, and countless pieces of rubble flew out in all directions. Some of the servants and guards nearby were unable to avoid the rubble, and they died one by one as they let out miserable screams.
The smell of blood spread out and a person gradually walked out from the ruins. This person was the man in the royal robe. His eyes were calm and it was impossible to tell if he was happy or angry. After he walked out from the ruins, he didn't even look back and slowly said, "Pack up.
"Pack up. I want to see the new palace in three days."
As his words rang out, hundreds of figures that resembled wisps of smoke immediately appeared around him and knelt down towards him.
The man in the royal robe waved his sleeve and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was at the top of the tallest tower in the imperial palace. He stood there, facing the wind as he looked down at the entire imperial palace and the statue of Ancestor Ji in the distance.
"I'm the Ancient Dao Emperor, the direct descendant of Ji Zu. The blood of Ji Zu flows in my body. What qualifications does a mere inheritor of Ye Mo have for Xuan Luo to value him so highly!?
"Soul Blood …" The man in the royal robe was calm, but his right hand clenched and he suddenly laughed.
"That's good. This will make things a bit more interesting. I want to see what kind of waves this person can set off. Even if he has Soul Blood, he will still have to kneel before me!"
The smile on the man in the royal robe became even wider and he withdrew his gaze. He waved his right hand and a fist-sized red bead appeared in his hand.
There seemed to be countless wisps of fog inside the bead, and as it slowly rotated, there seemed to be a soul sitting cross-legged inside. However, the appearance of the soul was hidden by the fog, so it was impossible to see it clearly. One could only vaguely tell that it was the soul of a woman.
This soul was not complete, only a part.
The man in the royal robe looked at the red bead in his hand and slowly said, "Ye Dao!"
"This lowly one is here!"
The moment the man in the royal robe spoke, there was a flash of light and a black-robed old man appeared. He clasped his hands at the man in the royal robe and knelt down on one knee.
The man in the royal robe's voice was calm. "Have you found her?"
"Emperor, this lowly one has searched the entire country and couldn't find her. We have sent people to the celestial clan, and it won't be long before news arrives."
"Is there no news from the Imperial Teacher?" The man in the royal robe frowned.
The old man kneeling on the ground had a cold expression and spoke.
"Although this woman's soul was given to Your Majesty by the Imperial Teacher, not even the Imperial Teacher can divinate where this woman is. He can only divinate that this woman will be of great use to Your Majesty. With this woman, Your Majesty will have a complete country!
He only told me that this woman's soul was obtained from a Heavenly Dao Soul that existed in a strange place that he had never been to when he was deducing the future of my Dao. His mind fused with the unseen world and obtained it from a Heavenly Dao Soul that existed in a strange place that he had never been to before … "
The man in the royal robe silently pondered for a moment. He looked at the red bead in his hand and his eyes revealed a strange light.
"This woman's appearance is ordinary and can't enter my eyes. However, if she is really as the Imperial Teacher said, then I can marry her as my empress!
Continue to send people to the celestial clan to search. If you really can't find her, then choose all the women in the Ancient Land and see which one can fuse with this soul. "
"Yes!"
The old man in black got up and was about to leave when he hesitated. After pondering for a bit, he clasped his hands and spoke once more.
"Emperor, before Lord Imperial Teacher went into closed door cultivation, he said one more thing …"
"Speak!" The man in the royal robe looked at the red bead in his hand and his voice was filled with majesty.
"He said that his augury might be true, but it might also be false. When he extracted the woman's soul, he saw two different images. One was of the Emperor conquering the Ji Nation. The other was of the Emperor dying …." In both images, besides the Emperor, there was another person who appeared at the same time!
This figure was a bit blurry and the Imperial Teacher couldn't see it clearly, but he remembered that this person had a head of white hair! "
The man in the royal robe revealed a cold gaze as he looked at the bead in his hand and slowly smiled. "Interesting. You can leave."
"Woman, who are you … The white-haired figure that the Imperial Preceptor saw, what does it have to do with you … The soul of the woman sitting cross-legged in the red bead was motionless. Her figure was covered by the fog and she seemed to be unaware of everything that was happening.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, causing the clothes of the man in the royal robe to flutter. The fog inside the pearl seemed to sense the wind and began to move, causing the woman's appearance to become slightly clearer. However, just as her face was about to be completely revealed, a few fingers suddenly closed around it and covered it up.
In the cave world, in the rift in the Cloud Sea, the giant vortex above the altar rotated rapidly. There was a flash of blood light that shined on Wang Lin's body. From afar, Wang Lin looked like he was made of blood.
His eyes narrowed as he stared at the red light in the depths of the vortex. He gradually saw a few drops of blood fly out from the vortex!
