Chapter 1042: Chapter 463: Conspiracy, A Storm is Brewing_3

He then went to see Qi Yuan.

"I didn’t expect you, kid, to have such talent that you actually adapted the ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’."

"Through the Ice Sword you offered the ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’ to the Black Demon Abyss, and those above remembered your kindness; they’re prepared to reward you with a large number of Sun God offerings," Ziyuan Ancestor said.

"I don’t want the Sun God offerings," Qi Yuan hurriedly said.

For him, the Sun God offerings were nearly useless.

"This old man knows you don’t care for Sun God offerings, so I argued with those old fogeys on your behalf and got you ten drops... of Black Demon Ancestral Blood," Ziyuan Ancestor said with a smile, and with a pat of his hand, a porcelain bottle appeared.

Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up when he saw the Black Demon Ancestral Blood.

"You really get me, old man."

What Qi Yuan needed the most was Black Demon Ancestral Blood.

Some time ago, he had sent out Divine Child, using Intelligent Miniature Scouting Bugs to find a lot of Black Demon Ancestral Blood and rapidly cultivated the ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’ to the twelfth layer.

However, his cultivation of the ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’ had since come to a standstill.

Because he lacked Black Demon Ancestral Blood.

Now with these ten drops of Black Demon Ancestral Blood, he could make a small step forward.

Of course, the thirteenth layer was still far away.

He would need a lot more Black Demon Ancestral Blood.

When that time came, his cultivation as a Ten Thousand Paths Martial God would be comparable to Great Ultimate Reasoning.

At this moment, Ziyuan Ancestor continued, "However, I’ve also kept ten portions of Sun God offerings for you.

Right on time, as you’ll soon marry Moon Maiden Jin Li; these ten portions of Sun God offerings can help both of you steadily step into the realm of Sun God Heavenly Venerable, and in the future... you’ll also be able to support each other."

"Thanks, old man," Qi Yuan took the Black Demon Ancestral Blood and Sun God offerings with eyes gleaming. "To think the adapted ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’ is worth so much; if I adapt another new version, could I exchange it for even more Black Demon Ancestral Blood?"

Ten drops of Black Demon Ancestral Blood were not enough to quickly help Qi Yuan step into the thirteenth layer.

He needed more.

Ziyuan Ancestor shook his head: "You think too much, kid. Not to mention that adapting the ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’ is too difficult. Moreover, Black Demon Ancestral Blood is an expendable resource. I had to shamelessly beg for these ten drops this time. You want more? No chance!"

Hearing this, Qi Yuan felt somewhat disheartened.

"Sigh, Black Demon Ancestral Blood, my poor First Love, after its death, I can’t even collect its blood!" Qi Yuan lamented.

Ziyuan Ancestor paid no attention to Qi Yuan’s mourning.

At that moment, Qi Yuan thought of something and said softly, "Old man, you’ve been treating me like a grandson all this time. I’ve prepared a gift for you."

"Scram!" Ziyuan Ancestor cursed angrily, but his heart was still delighted.

His previous dissatisfaction with Qi Yuan for not giving him the adapted ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’ right away had dissipated like smoke.

"What gift? If it’s too ordinary, I’ll just let it collect dust in my Storage Bag," Ziyuan Ancestor asked.

"It’s this..." Qi Yuan took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Ziyuan Ancestor.

Ziyuan Ancestor received the Jade Slip and probed into it with his Soul.

His expression turned focused, then surprised, and finally... he took a deep breath.

His face displayed surprise, shock, and a tinge of bitterness.

"Good stuff, really good stuff, truly amazing stuff!" Ziyuan Ancestor exclaimed repeatedly, looking at the Blood Robe.

"I made this especially according to your constitution these past few days; it’s much stronger than the ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’ from Ice Egg, right?" Qi Yuan said.

Having received so much Black Demon Ancestral Blood from Ziyuan Ancestor, Qi Yuan still felt a little guilty.

Although it was only right for Ziyuan Ancestor to give him Black Demon Ancestral Blood as a token of filial piety.

But he should still leak some good stuff to the younger generation, right?

"The ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’ from the Ice Sword was mediocre; this one is much more suitable for you," Qi Yuan added, glancing at Ziyuan Ancestor, "You old fellow wouldn’t secretly have cultivated the Ice Sword version of the ’Ancestral Blood Mantra,’ would you?"

Upon hearing this, Ziyuan Ancestor’s eyes widened: "Why would I cultivate an ’Ancestral Blood Mantra’ that lays eggs? I am a Great Ultimate Reasoning Powerhouse; I care about my face."

As he spoke, he surreptitiously crushed his own egg.

"That’s good then," Qi Yuan nodded.

"Don’t go out during this time; it’s very chaotic out there." Remembering something, Ziyuan Ancestor gave another instruction.

"Oh? What happened?" Qi Yuan inquired.

"The Human Emperor Hall has appeared, inscrutable, with no one knowing its origins," Ziyuan Ancestor said warily.

He even suspected that the Human Emperor Hall was a very ancient existence.

"Anything else?" Qi Yuan didn’t care about the Human Emperor Hall because it was all under his control.

"Recently... a part of Heavens Beyond from Ghost Domination Heaven got connected to Mystic Lands, and they found a large amount of Black Demon Ancestral Blood there," Ziyuan Ancestor said, his expression turning solemn.

Heavens Beyond is a place of the unknown, an unexplored territory.

It also contains many Mystic Lands.

Generally, Sun Gods choose to battle in the Heavens Beyond.

The Black Demon Abyss also has its own Heavens Beyond. Great Ultimate Reasoning can open up Heavens Beyond, transform a part of it into the Sixfold Heavens, and turn it into a realm for one’s own power.

Now, Ghost Domination Heaven’s Heavens Beyond has discovered a large amount of Black Demon Ancestral Blood, which is absolutely significant for the Black Demon Abyss.

"How coincidental, there couldn’t be a plot, could there?" Qi Yuan asked.

The Black Demon Abyss had just begun the war with Ghost Domination Heaven when Ghost Domination Heaven’s Heavens Beyond found a large amount of Black Demon Ancestral Blood.

"It’s an overt plot," Ziyuan Ancestor stated calmly.

Clearly, the higher-ups of the Black Demon Abyss also knew it was Ghost Domination Heaven’s scheme.

They had collected a large amount of Black Demon Ancestral Blood a while ago, using it to bait the Black Demon Abyss now.

Qi Yuan pondered, "Could it be that you’re planning to seize it?"

Qi Yuan remembered Black Sword’s changed expression after receiving a message before leaving Hua Yue Qi Di.

Thinking about it now, it must have been about this matter.

"The total amount of Black Demon Ancestral Blood in the world is limited; using one drop means one less drop remains.

Now, Ghost Domination Heaven has dispatched two Great Ultimate Reasoning powerhouses to corrupt the Black Demon Ancestral Blood, and if they succeed, then... that nearly ten thousand drops of Black Demon Ancestral Blood... would be wasted," Ziyuan Ancestor mentioned with great regret.
