Chapter 129
A drop of purest essence blood floated into the air.
It exploded, weaving mysterious patterns across the sky.
And then…
“Blood… bind!”
The Flame Spirit Eagle glanced fearfully at Gu Yang, then slowly uttered two words.
It meant Gu Yang must also shed a drop of blood into the contract—only then would the bond be complete.
Gu Yang had read about blood contracts in ancient texts.
This was indeed one.
Without hesitation, he condensed a drop of blood and let it fall into the glowing sigils.
At once, a terrifying aura erupted from the blood-red patterns in the air.
The markings split in two—one half entered Gu Yang’s brow, the other sank into the eagle’s body.
Thus, the master-servant blood contract was sealed.
Gu Yang smiled, releasing his grip.
The eagle lowered its head, heavy with humiliation.
A noble Yuanhai tenth peak beast… bound to a mere Baoyuan first-level human.
Too shameful…
Meanwhile, in the forest below, the cultivators who had witnessed everything were dumbstruck.
They had seen Gu Yang stand calmly, seize the eagle’s wing, and hammer it with punches until it submitted.
They saw the beast itself initiate the contract.
And then, the blood pact succeed.
“Am I… hallucinating?”
“A Yuanhai tenth peak Flame Spirit Eagle… tamed just like that?”
“Was it my imagination, or did that man’s aura look only Baoyuan first-level?”
Silence fell among them.
Above, Gu Yang felt satisfied.
To tame such a beast so easily was fortune indeed.
Had he revealed his strength earlier, the eagle’s cunning would have kept it from attacking.
And without that reckless dive, capturing it would have been nearly impossible.
The Flame Spirit Eagle was king of the skies—faster than any vessel.
A sword strike risked killing it outright.
But luck favored him.
He turned to the eagle, still crestfallen, and smiled faintly.
“Do you carry the bloodline of the ancient Azure Saint Eagle?”
The eagle’s eyes widened in shock.
How did this human know?
“Don’t worry about how I know.” Gu Yang’s tone softened, almost tempting.
“Do you want to awaken that bloodline?”
The eagle’s eyes blazed with sudden light.
Awakening bloodline!
For a beast with ancient heritage, it was the ultimate desire.
It dreamed of it—greater speed, sharper form, stronger power.
And its bloodline was none other than the Azure Saint Eagle’s.
It nodded eagerly, gaze full of hope.
At that moment, a silver-bell voice rang in Gu Yang’s mind:
“Master, can you help me awaken my bloodline?”
Gu Yang blinked.
A female eagle?
Moments ago she had been dejected, ashamed of her bond.
Now she brimmed with excitement.
He chuckled softly.
“I can.”
“Master! I want to awaken it!” she cried impatiently.
Gu Yang’s expression cooled.
“I’ll help you—but I won’t tolerate a mount that disrespects its master. You understand?”
The eagle realized his displeasure.
Recalling her earlier arrogance, she quickly tried to please him—fanning him with her wings, tapping his shoulders gently with her massive tips.
Almost groveling.
Gu Yang nodded, satisfied.
The blood contract bound her obedience, but not her emotions.
She could still feel pride, shame, or resentment.
Yet he wanted more than obedience—he wanted absolute loyalty.
This was part of her training.
“Well done. As reward, I’ll grant you awakening.”
He placed his hand on her wing.
Truthfully, he wasn’t sure if it would work.
He had never tried this before.
“Modify a beast’s bloodline… can I truly awaken it?”
His heart tightened with anticipation.
This was his first time using the system’s ability on a beast.
He inhaled deeply, clearing his mind.
Then willed it:
“Modify the Flame Spirit Eagle’s ancient bloodline… to ten thousand years ago!”
Unlike cultivation, bloodlines grew thinner with time.
To awaken them, one had to trace backward.
But would ten thousand years be enough?
He hoped so.
The eagle’s eyes flickered with doubt.
Could mere touch awaken bloodline?
Was her master deceiving her?
But suddenly, she felt it—
A call from the depths of her soul.
Her body trembled as an ancient aura surged forth.
Her form began to change.
First, the fiery crest atop her head.
The crimson feathers shifted, glowing azure.
This time, not fleeting—permanent.
The Azure Crown.
Symbol of the ancient Azure Saint Eagle’s bloodline reborn.
