The moment Lu Ye saw that mass of golden light, he could not help but freeze. He had not expected something so abnormal to exist beneath this Blood Sea.
But he quickly realized what it was.
This was clearly the source of the Blood Race's Sacred Seeds!
Lan Qiyue had told him before that she had become a Sacred Seed because she had caught a mass of golden light beneath a Blood Pool. By a twist of fate, she had transformed from a Human Race cultivator into a Blood Race member—and even a Sacred Seed among the Blood Race.
When Lan Qiyue had told him about this, Lu Ye had harbored a suspicion.
Perhaps there had originally been no Blood Race in this world. Perhaps the strange things within the Blood Pools had created the Blood Race's Sacred Seeds, who then propagated the Blood Race as a race.
Just as there had originally been no Corpse Race on Peerless Continent. Every Corpse Race member there had been transformed from the Human Race.
But it was only a suspicion, with no solid evidence. Lu Ye had no interest in investigating the origins of the Blood Race anyway. It had nothing to do with him.
Yet he had never imagined that he would encounter such a mass of golden light within the Blood Sea as well.
There was no way to verify where the golden light had originally been. During this time, Lu Ye had continually activated the Talent Tree's power to devour everything around him. Wherever he was, a vortex had formed, and the golden light had clearly been drawn over by the flow of blood from all directions.
Lu Ye sensed an incomparably dense and surging power within that golden light, something the surrounding bloodwater could not possibly compare with.
