Entering the Lotus-Seeding Realm

Jiang Yuechu fell silent for a moment.

Then she took a bold step forward, walking up to that Azure Jade Wall.

Things had already reached this point.

If she acted coy now, it would only seem ungrateful.

"What should I do?"

The emperor pointed at the center of the wall, where there was a shallow groove.

"Drop a drop of blood inside. If your bloodline is compatible, the Spirit Jade Wall will naturally react."

"Once it is confirmed that you are of the Li Clan bloodline, the Great Tang Dragon Qi that this Spirit Jade Wall has accumulated for hundreds of years will pour out to wash away your impurities, temper your marrow, and empower your physical body."

"An ordinary martial artist who toils for decades might never even beg for a shred of this Dragon Qi to enter their body. The benefits this holds for stabilizing foundations and widening Qi seas are unimaginable."

Jiang Yuechu's eyelids twitched violently.

She had originally thought this was merely a formality similar to a blood test for parentage.

She never expected it to come with such concrete benefits?

No wonder.

She instinctively glanced out of the corner of her eye at the grey-robed old man standing to the side, who was currently closing his eyes to regulate his breathing.

No wonder activating this thing once would consume the lifespan of this Imperial High Ancestor.

"What if the test shows I am not?"

Jiang Yuechu asked an extra question, terrified there might be some kind of side effect.

The emperor's expression froze.

"If you are not..."

"Then nothing will happen."

"You will only need to step back. Not a single word of what I promised before will change; I will simply consider that I brought you here to broaden your horizons."

Jiang Yuechu nodded.
