Chapter 1598 - 1595: Shocked
Xue Tu’s words echoed in the palace, and the surrounding Blood Clan strongmen were deeply shocked, as if cast with an immobilization spell, unable to react for a long while.
An elderly Blood Clan warrior with white hair was the first to break the silence, his voice trembling with disbelief: "How is this possible?"
"The seals of our clan have endured countless ages, merging the supreme wisdom and power of the Ancient Blood Clan. Not to mention the True Immortal Realm, even if the Immortal Venerable were to personally descend, it would be impossible to easily break them."
"There must be something strange about this!"
Upon hearing this, the other Blood Clan warriors all nodded in agreement, their faces still bearing the color of shock, and their eyes full of puzzlement and vigilance.
"Moreover, the restrictions around the Netherworld Blood Pool complement our clan’s seals, making it a place of death that even the Immortal Venerable must fear. How did a mere junior from the True Immortal Realm manage to pass through so many dangers?"
Another warrior furrowed his brow, a flash of concern in his eyes: "Could this boy be a scout from a powerful force, deliberately probing our Blood Clan?"
"If that is indeed the case, the force behind it cannot be underestimated." A female Blood Clan warrior said gravely, gently stroking the Blood Clan patterns on the hem of her garment, seemingly seeking answers from ancient traditions: "But if it was him alone, then the secrets on this human boy are even more terrifying."
Xue Tu listened to the crowd’s discussions, his face growing increasingly somber. His deep eyes flashed with light, as if pondering various possibilities: "Blood Shang, have you discovered the purpose of this boy coming here?"
"And how did he manage to break through the seal?"
Blood Shang bowed slightly and responded, "Clan Leader, this boy claims to have been pursued by Otherworldly Demons, and in reckless desperation, dashed into the Netherworld Blood Pool."
"As for breaking the seal, he had no special means, merely made his way through."
"However..."
Blood Shang paused, a trace of apprehension flashing in his eyes: "When I applied the Soul Searching Technique, I saw in his Sea of Consciousness a forbidden object documented in ancient texts."
"That is, the Taoist Scripture Fragment!"
"The power was incredibly strong and mysterious, nearly causing my soul to scatter!" As he spoke, his face filled with an uncontainable fear.
As Xue Tu’s words fell, the palace instantly plunged into dead silence, except for the blood in the pool still rolling and bubbling, emitting a faint "gurgle," adding to the eerie atmosphere.
When the words "Taoist Scripture Fragment" entered the ears of the Blood Clan strongmen, their faces were instantly filled with shock, their expressions like the calm sea suddenly stirred by a hurricane.
Everyone’s eyes widened, their pupils rapidly contracting, as if hearing the most incredible thing in this world.
A Blood Clan warrior with a stern countenance, previously as tranquil as a still water, showed rare fissures on his face, his lips lightly trembling, his voice carrying a hint of unconcealable astonishment: "Taoist Scripture Fragment? That is a legendary peerless object, disappearing from the world since the primeval era, only recorded in ancient texts."
"Who would have thought it would appear today from a human boy of the True Immortal Realm!"
A nearby elder’s Blood Clan Wand nearly slipped from his grasp due to trembling.
His face etched with the marks of time turned pale, his eyes filled with shock: "Ancient texts say that the Taoist Scripture Fragment contains the Chaotic Power of the world’s inception, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth, and is the source of all Secret Technique Manuals."
"If one obtains its entirety, they can control the universe and become the supreme Sovereign."
"How could such a Supreme Treasure appear on a mere junior of the True Immortal Realm?"
The female Blood Clan warrior instinctively covered her mouth, the shock in her eyes indescribable: "What is this boy’s origin? How can his fortune be so terrifying, possessing such a forbidden object?"
Everyone spoke one after another, each sentence filled with reverence for the Taoist Scripture Fragment and deep suspicion about Xu Wendong’s identity.
They knew well that once the Taoist Scripture Fragment appeared in the world, it would certainly stir up a storm of blood across the Immortal Realm and even the Three Realms.
Blood Shang said gravely: "I have inquired thoroughly, this boy comes from the Mortal World."
His voice, though not loud, resounded like thunder in the silent palace where only the blood pool’s rolling sound was heard.
As soon as the words fell, the palace was immediately plunged into an uproar.
Blood Clan warriors whispered to each other, discussing excitedly.
After all, the Mortal World holds a special significance as a sacred land in the hearts of all cultivators; it is the origin of the entire world!
In those distant, mythical tales, Pangu God emerged.
With a lofty ambition to open and create the world, he split the chaos with supreme divine power, the clean air rising to form the heavens, while the turbid air sank to form the earth.
After this great feat, Pangu God finally fell due to exhaustion of power.
His body transformed into all things of the world, the blood becoming rivers, lakes, and seas, hair turning into flowers, grasses, and trees, bones transforming into mountains and lands, and his great soul subtly integrated into the heavens and earth, silently watching over this newborn world.
And his final resting place was the Mortal World.
That land, like an ancient treasure vault containing endless mysteries, carries the vast power of Creation from the time the heavens and earth first formed.
Every grain of dust seems to tell the secrets from the creation of the universe, every breeze carries the lingering essence of world formation.
It nurtures unlimited possibilities, being the source of all wonder and mystery.
Since Xu Wendong comes from there, it’s logical that he carries extraordinary fortune.
As if blessed by the Origin Land, his destiny has been different from the start.
Xue Tu seemed to have thought of something, unable to resist looking towards Blood Shang, curiously asking: "You mentioned an Otherworldly Demon invasion earlier? What’s the matter?"
Blood Shang replied: "According to Xu Wendong, ten thousand years ago, a sudden catastrophe descended upon the Immortal Realm. Extraterrestrial beings flooded in like a torrent, launching a frenzied assault on the Immortal Realm."
"In that brutal war, all Five Continents of the Immortal Realm were conquered, even the Palace of the Polestar, symbolizing the supreme authority of the Immortal Realm, was not spared."
The Blood Clan strongmen quietly listened, though no one spoke, each felt an overwhelming sensation.
Clearly, they never expected extraterrestrial beings to invade the Immortal Realm, even conquering Ling Xiao.
"Under this calamity, the Human Race suffered unprecedented devastation, bodies piled up, creatures ravaged, countless families were shattered."
"After years of recuperation, the strong among the Human Race have prepared for a counterattack."
"More importantly, this time the resistance is not fought by the Human Race alone."
"Other Immortal Clans stood forth, aligning themselves with the Human Race, choosing to live and die together."
Upon hearing this.
Everyone instinctively looked at Xue Tu.
An elderly man with white hair and beard couldn’t help but ask: "Clan Leader, other Immortal Clans have stepped forth for the Human Race. Shouldn’t our Blood Clan also offer some modest assistance?"
