Chapter 1211 The Great Yan Dynasty's Patriarch—Yan Cangwu
Human joys and sorrows are never shared.
Finally, guided by Cang Xuan, Su Xiaoya entered the old locust tree in the center of Qingyuan Town and sat cross-legged in front of the altar.
At this moment, the inheritance has begun.
The power of Su Xiaoya's bloodline had already reached its peak.
With her eyes closed, a faint green mark slowly emerged between her brows. The mark, shaped like a sprout, gradually became clearer and brighter as her bloodline power surged.
The spiritual mist surrounding her changed from light blue to deep turquoise, the stream in the spiritual creek began to flow upstream, swirling around her body, the spiritual trees in the mountains rustled, their branches and leaves stretching out as if bowing in her direction, and the spiritual light of the Myriad Spirits Gathering Array also reached its peak, enveloping her in a dazzling turquoise light curtain.
"Concentrate your mind and calm your breath, draw the power of your blood to flow through the eight extraordinary meridians, and use yourself as a medium to receive the origin of heaven and earth!"
The tree spirit Cangxuan's voice carried a hint of tension, but even more so, anticipation. His palm rested on the array's core, continuously channeling his already limited spiritual power, striving to maintain the array's stability. "Do not resist. The Origin Spirit Bloodline is of the same origin as heaven and earth. Just follow your heart!"
Following the instructions, Su Xiaoya focused her energy on immersing herself in her body.
She could clearly feel that warm and incredibly powerful force gushing out from her dantian and flowing rapidly along her meridians.
This force is like a surging torrent, bringing about wondrous changes wherever it passes through a meridian:
Those narrow meridians gradually expanded, becoming wide and strong;
The previously blocked areas suddenly opened up, allowing the spiritual energy that was previously difficult to flow smoothly to become unobstructed.
Just then, that powerful force suddenly struck Su Xiaoya's brow, meeting and merging with the mysterious mark that had just begun to sprout and grow!
The instant the two touched, Su Xiaoya suddenly heard a deafening roar from the depths of her mind, as if an ancient seal had been forcibly broken.
Immediately afterwards, countless fragments of memories flooded into her consciousness like a burst dam—these were all memories belonging to the Source Spirit Clan!
It includes their focused dedication when diligently practicing their skills, their unwavering courage when defending their homeland to the death, and their desperate cries when facing annihilation...
As these images flashed by, Su Xiaoya's long-dormant Origin Spirit Bloodline was finally fully awakened.
In an instant, an extremely pure and unparalleled primordial aura erupted from her body with overwhelming force, directly piercing through the multiple layers of concealment of the Myriad Spirits Gathering Source Array, like a green pillar of light traversing the sky, shooting straight towards the end of the heavens!
At the same time, tens of thousands of miles away in the Central Plains, deep within the imperial city of the Great Yan Dynasty, in the innermost layer of the royal treasury, the broken primordial crystal that had been forgotten for thousands of years suddenly trembled violently.
The once dull and lifeless surface of the crystal, covered with fine cracks, now bursts forth with a dazzling emerald light, echoing the aura of Su Xiaoya when she awakened her bloodline.
The cracks in the crystal grew brighter and brighter, and the spiritual light spread along the cracks, eventually breaking through the treasure vault's restrictions and transforming into an equally dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
The light was so intense and dazzling, like a blazing sun, that it illuminated half of the sky over Zhongzhou, and the towering pillar of light could be clearly seen for miles around.
For a time, panic gripped the entire capital, and discussions filled the streets and alleys.
The treasure trove guard was terrified and scrambled into the palace to report to the Great Yan Emperor.
At that time, Emperor Yan Hong of the Great Yan Dynasty was discussing matters related to the expansion of the Northern Territory with his royal relatives, civil and military officials. Upon hearing that something unusual had happened at the treasury, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately led everyone to the treasury.
When everyone stepped into the inner layer of the treasure vault and saw the primordial crystal floating in the air, radiating brilliant spiritual light, they were all dumbfounded.
The royal records contain only a few words about this crystal, saying that it is an ancient relic with little use, so it was sealed away for generations and no one ever investigated it.
But today's strange phenomenon is clearly extraordinary, especially the aura emanating from the crystal, which is powerful and vast, carrying a kind of pressure originating from the source of heaven and earth, making the martial arts practitioners and cultivators with profound cultivation present feel awe.
“Ancestor!” Yan Hong suddenly turned his head and looked at an old man with white hair and beard, whose aura was withered but whose eyes were sharp. This was the ancestor of the Great Yan Dynasty, Yan Cangwu.
Yan Cangwu's cultivation was as vast and unfathomable as the starry sky. He was the pillar of the dynasty. However, in recent years, he was like the setting sun, nearing the end of his lifespan, and his aura was gradually weakening. He rarely concerned himself with state affairs.
Yan Cangwu staggered forward, his withered hands, like candles flickering in the wind, gently stroking the surface of the crystal. The resonant power emanating from his fingertips was like a lightning bolt, splitting open his cloudy eyes and suddenly bursting forth with astonishing light.
The light was mixed with ecstasy, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey; it was mixed with greed, like a gluttonous beast devouring the moon; and there was a trace of barely perceptible madness, like a demon unleashed from its cage.
He has lived for nearly a thousand years, and his lifespan has long been exhausted. He has only managed to prolong his life by relying on his profound cultivation, which is like a spent arrow. Now he is exhausted and nearing the end of his life.
Over the years, he traveled all over the continent, searching for miraculous medicines, but all his efforts were in vain, unable to slow the passage of his lifespan.
In the end, he took a desperate gamble and practiced the ancient evil technique "Soul Devouring and Body Seizing Technique".
He also bewitched the descendants of the royal family to cultivate the forbidden technique "Blood Spirit Body Nourishment Technique," causing those descendants to be like moths to a flame, using their own blood essence to nourish their bodies, making them the perfect vessels for possession. He would wait for the last moment when he was exhausted, then seize the bodies of his descendants like a hungry wolf, and be reborn.
Even the finest vessel of royal blood can only be a flickering candle in the wind, allowing him to live for a few more centuries, but his cultivation will be greatly diminished. This is not the result Yan Cangwu longed for.
Therefore, he hesitated to make a decision.
However, his obsession with immortality burned like a raging fire in his soul; his obsession with reaching the pinnacle of the continent crashed against his heart like a raging storm.
Over the years, he has been frantically searching for a more perfect target to possess, but it has always been like looking for a needle in a haystack, ending in nothing.
Even today, the resonance of the Origin Crystal, the pure bloodline aura originating from the Origin Spirit Clan, is transmitted through the crystal, driving him instantly mad—the Origin Spirit Clan! It's actually a descendant of the legendary Origin Spirit Clan who has awakened his bloodline!
The bloodline of the Origin Spirit Clan is the bloodline most compatible with the power of origin in the world. Their physical bodies are pure and immaculate, and their souls are of the same origin as heaven and earth. If one can seize such a physical body, one can not only extend one's lifespan by a thousand years, but also use the talent of the Origin Spirit bloodline to refine the origin of heaven and earth, and make rapid progress in cultivation. One may even break through the shackles and reach the legendary immortal realm!
Compared to the physical bodies of the Origin Spirit Race, the vessels of those royal descendants were nothing but crude and worthless rubble!
“It’s the Origin Spirit Clan!” Yan Cangwu’s voice trembled uncontrollably, yet every word was clear and resonated with everyone present.
Of course, Yan Cangwu wouldn't reveal his deepest, most secret greed. He desperately suppressed his greed and impatience, using a seductive voice to speak grand and righteous words:
"The Origin Spirit Clan, which was wiped out 100,000 years ago, still has descendants! The resonance of the crystal just now was a phenomenon caused by the awakening of the bloodline of the Origin Spirit Clan's descendants! If such a heaven-defying bloodline could be used by our Great Yan Dynasty, our dynasty would surely be able to unify the Azure Nether Continent for thousands of generations!"
