Zuo Yan was so disheartened by the blow that she became utterly dejected.
She looked at Madam Shi, then at the Princess Consort, her eyes rolling. "Princess Consort, can you activate the exotic treasure?"
The Princess Consort looked at the exotic treasure, several hundred li across, and shook her head. "No."
Only then did Zuo Yan cheer up again.
The Princess Consort secretly shook her head.
In truth, she could barely activate this exotic treasure.
But there was no need to strike at Zuo Yan.
After all, she was an Innate Outsider, and after all these years of Chu Qing continuously bestowing titles upon her, her Innate Outsider bloodline had become absurdly concentrated.
She had secretly compared her own Innate Outsider bloodline with the bloodlines of several Outsiders from the same generation in her Lineage.
The gap between them was as vast as the difference between an egg and a gemstone.
Therefore, she too had the ability to activate this Aura Exotic Treasure, which was close to becoming a heavy weapon.
She simply did not want to discourage Zuo Yan and the others.
Zuo Yan and Consort Mei, meanwhile, had become Outsiders through unorthodox paths.
Though their ancestors had Outsider bloodlines, the traces of that blood within them were so thin that they did not even qualify to reveal themselves.
Now, Chu Qing was also bestowing titles upon them.
But rather than tracing back their ancestral bloodlines, they followed their own Strange Arts to deduce and give birth to bloodlines of their own.
Their bloodlines were not as powerful as those inherited from their forebears.
But they could carve out bloodlines that belonged to themselves.
These bloodlines would grow stronger as they grew stronger.
In the future, they would be the Progenitors of these bloodlines.
