Great Emperor Myriad

Chapter 40: Netherworld Bloodline

“A marriage contract?”

Ling Xiao had a strange expression on his face. He recalled that the little princess and he were born in the same year, in the same month, and on the same day. Not only was she exceptionally talented in martial arts, but she was also a national beauty. There was no way the royal family was going to let the old Ling Xiao marry her.

“Alright, I got it! Who is Liu Yiyi?”

After noting it all down in his mind, Ling Xiao asked about Liu Yiyi.

The old Ling Xiao did not notice it, but the new Ling Xiao could sense that Liu Yiyi was very unusual, and she might not cultivate Longevity Sect’s martial arts.

“Liu Yiyi is said to be Mayor Liu Xiongfei’s niece and is somewhat related to Indulgence Sect! A few days ago, Ma Jun, the son of Indulgence Sect’s Seventh Elder, died in Ferocious Beast Mountain Range. The people from that sect suspect that it was the doing of someone from Longevity Sect and found out that you were the only one who entered the mountain range during that time! Liu Yiyi and I wanted to get rid of you, but I found Lin Haoyu while she secretly went to inform Indulgence Sect! Perhaps someone from their sect will come for you soon!”

Ling Kun continued to reply with a dull face.

“Ma Jun?”

Ling Xiao suddenly remembered the few Indulgence Sect people he had killed at Ferocious Beast Mountain Range.

‘Since Liu Yiyi is Liu Xiongfei’s niece, Liu Piaopiao should know her. I’ll ask Piaopiao about her later! But from the way I see it, Liu Yiyi’s likely a spy from Indulgence Sect!’

He had quickly figured out many things.

At the same time, he released the mind control on Ling Kun.

Ling Kun instantly woke up after feeling a cold shiver down his spine. He looked at Ling Xiao fearfully. “You… What did you do to me?”

Ling Xiao sneered before he karate chopped Ling Kun’s neck so hard that he passed out.

“Ling Xiao, something’s wrong!”

Right then, Liu Piaopiao ran over in a hurry. She was extremely worried.

“What is it?” Ling Xiao quickly asked.

“Xue Wei, something has happened to her! Quick, go take a look!” Liu Piaopiao replied.

“Xue Wei?”

Ling Xiao’s heart sank. He immediately flew toward Jin Se Pavilion.

The moment he was within a hundred square feet of Jin Se Pavilion, he sensed a chilly aura. It was as if the entire Jin Se Pavilion had turned into an icy place that was sealed by ice.

“I don’t know what happened, she was alright earlier, but a cold aura suddenly came out from the house and sealed the area around it with ice!” Liu Piaopiao explained.

“Is this… Netherworld Aura?”

Frightened, Ling Xiao then dashed into the cabin as he said, “Don’t come in, wait outside!”

Boom!

He instantly felt a terrifying chill blowing at him the moment he entered Jin Se Pavilion, and he could not help but shiver.

The chill was so icy, it was as if his soul turned cold. Besides, there was also a dark aura lingering in the air.

“I’m sure this is Netherworld Aura, but why is it here?”

Ling Xiao glanced at Xue Wei.

At this moment, Xue Wei seemed like she was sealed by a layer of ice, and that unbounded chills were released from her body.

“Does she bear the Netherworld Bloodline?”

Ling Xiao quickly considered the possibility.

Ten thousand years ago, Netherworld Supreme, who was ranked third among the top ten Supreme titles, bore the Netherworld Bloodline. His combat power was so frightful that even Ling Xiao was not fully confident about defeating him.

The Netherworld Bloodline was one of the top-notch bloodlines in the world, and those who bore it became supreme masters in the end.

If Xue Wei really bore the Netherworld Bloodline, she probably came from a remarkable background.

Nevertheless, Ling Xiao had further confirmations.

Boom!

A mysterious aura was released as Ling Xiao operated Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed in his Sea of Qi. The fearsome chills around him were instantly devoured, which somehow improved his cultivation as well.

He paced into Jin Se Pavilion.

“Indeed, these are Netherworld Mystic Ice condensed from Netherworld Chills. Perhaps it was fate that the injury allowed her to awaken her Netherworld Bloodline! That being said, the Netherworld Bloodline is extremely harsh. One will die in the endless chills without another’s protection!”

Ling Xiao sighed as he confirmed his deduction.

Xue Wei was in a dangerous spot. A substantial amount of Netherworld Chills was released from her body the moment her Netherworld Bloodline awoke. It had come to the point where she could no longer withstand it anymore and because of that, her vitals had become very weak.

Without further ado, Ling Xiao placed his palm on the Netherworld Mystic Ice.

“Sky Devouring Secret Technique, devour!”

Intense light shot out from his eyes as he exerted all his force to perform the Sky Devouring Secret Technique. With that, the Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed in his Sea of Qi shook before a devouring force started to erupt!

Boom!

As if Ling Xiao had transformed into a vortex, the Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed devoured the Netherworld Chills. Then, the chills were transformed into True Qi of great momentum that gushed into his body.

The ninety-nine feet Sea of Qi in his body was initially so spacious that it was at least a hundred times harder for him to advance to the next boundary as compared to ordinary people.

Yet with the Netherworld Chills, they stored the purest essence of spiritual energy even though they were ice cold. On top of Sky Devouring Spiritual Seed’s tempering, the spiritual energy were refined into pure innate True Qi that eventually entered his Sea of Qi.

Shining in faint gold, Ling Xiao’s innate True Qi started to mix in his Sea of Qi. Soon enough, his Sea of Qi was filled with innate True Qi.

The fourth True Qi vortex was formed!

Boom!

Ling Xiao had advanced to fourth tier True Qi Boundary at that instant!

Nonetheless, the chills were insignificant among the vast Netherworld Aura and more Netherworld Chills were eventually devoured by Ling Xiao.

Kacha!

The Netherworld Mystic Ice around Xue Wei’s body began to crack while Ling Xiao’s energy increased very quickly!

The fifth True Qi vortex, the sixth True Qi vortex, the seventh True Qi vortex, the eighth True Qi vortex…

Roughly fifteen minutes later, when the temperature in Jin Se Pavilion slowly dropped, Ling Xiao released waves of limitless energy that vibrated the furniture into pieces.

The ninth True Qi vortex was formed!

When Ling Xiao opened his eyes again, he could not be bothered to check his body condition. Instead, he quickly ran over to Xue Wei who was on the bed.

Although she was still pale, her vitals were stable, and he could sense that the Netherworld Chills had returned to her body. Not only were they circulating slowly in her body, but they were increasing her energy as well.

Besides, Ling Xiao could also sense that the burst of the Netherworld Chills had connected all of Xue Wei’s meridians. This meant that she had arrived at the Pinnacle state of Pulse Unsealing Boundary!
