There's a problem with your cultivation?
Yang Zhen was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "How can you be sure the girl's cultivation has gone wrong? Where is she now?"
Ye Zhiming added, "Yes, wasn't she still cultivating when I left? How come she's gone now? And how did you get injured?"
Bai Xuan hesitated, then Water Moon Spirit Maiden snorted and said, "When we arrived here, a tremendous surge of True Essence suddenly erupted from the sinkhole, leaving this place in such a mess. You know all this!"
At this point, Water Moon Spirit Maiden glanced at Yang Zhen and continued, "Back then, we were shocked to discover that the sinkhole contained Spirit Maiden Hua, and that she was lying in a crystal coffin. However, she seemed to be cultivating, so we didn't disturb her. But..."
"But then we discovered..." Bai Xuan gave a wry smile, and continued, "Then we found that Spirit Maiden Hua's condition seemed a bit off, so we quickly sent Zhiming to find you. Not long after he left, the blood in Spirit Maiden Hua's body suddenly seemed to be burning, and her whole being exuded a power we had never seen before."
"The blood looks like it's on fire?" The Shameless Cat suddenly widened its eyes and stared at Bai Xuan, saying, "Are you sure you're not seeing things?"
"It can't be wrong!" Bai Xuan said with lingering fear, "At that time, inside the crystal coffin, Spirit Maiden Hua's body seemed to be burning with a kind of blue flame, as if it was a power that burst forth from her blood. It even attracted us, making us feel like our blood was boiling!"
Yang Zhen's heart sank; a bad premonition suddenly struck him. He exchanged a glance with the Shameless Cat and was startled to find a look of surprise and uncertainty in the Shameless Cat's eyes. Just as he was about to ask, Bai Xuan continued, "Then, the Spirit Maiden Hua woke up!"
Ye Zhiming exclaimed in surprise, then breathed a sigh of relief, before asking in confusion, "Since you're awake, why are you injured?"
"It was Spirit Maiden Hua injured us!" A strange look flashed in Water Moon Spirit Maiden's eyes as she hesitated and looked at Yang Zhen, saying, "After Spirit Maiden Hua woke up, the crystal coffin was shattered, and you saw the current situation. But... but Spirit Maiden Hua seems like a different person; she doesn't recognize us anymore. After Bai Xuan questioned her several times, Spirit Maiden Hua actually showed anger and attacked us..."
Bai Xuan nodded and continued, "That's why we were certain that Spirit Maiden Hua's cultivation had encountered a problem. We tried to stop her from leaving, but even the combined strength of the two of us was no match for her!"
Yang Zhen's eyes twitched, and he asked in surprise, "What level has the little girl reached in her cultivation?"
Water Moon Spirit Maiden and Bai Xuan exchanged a glance and said simultaneously, " Spirit Wandering State!"
"What?"
Yang Zhen, the two people, and the cat were all taken aback.
Even if she defied fate and condensed the Heavenly Fragrance Sacred Root, Hua Youyue's cultivation speed could not possibly be this terrifying.
There must be something strange about this place, and it's very likely that something has gone wrong with Hua Youyue, just as Bai Xuan and the other person said.
Burning one's bloodline is something no cultivator would attempt lightly unless facing an invincible opponent and having a death wish. Once the bloodline is burned, there is absolutely no way to stop it, and without exception, the end result is always death from exhaustion of Qi and Blood.
Hua Youyue actually burned her bloodline inside the crystal coffin, but instead of dying on the spot, she unleashed a power that Bai Xuan and Water Moon Spirit Maiden had never seen before.
Given the strength of their respective sects, neither of them had ever witnessed such a power. What kind of power was it?
A series of questions arose in Yang Zhen's mind. He subconsciously looked at the Shameless Cat, Shameless Cat had been frowning and looking suspicious since earlier.
" Shameless Cat, did you think of something?" Yang Zhen asked subconsciously.
The mischievous Shameless Cat looked at Yang Zhen hesitantly, sighed, and said, "Kid, you'd better be prepared. This little girl might not be an ordinary person."
Yang Zhen scoffed and said, "Of course not an ordinary person. How could an ordinary person, after damaging their Spirit Root, defy fate and condense Heavenly Fate Spirit Root?"
The others looked at the Shameless Cat with suspicion, waiting for Shameless Cat to continue.
The Shameless Cat glanced at Yang Zhen and said, "It's not surprising that you don't know. In fact, this kind of thing was extremely rare even ten thousand years ago."
"What?"
Yang Zhen and the others were taken aback and subconsciously asked, "What connection does this little girl have with ten thousand years ago? Could she be a survivor from ten thousand years ago?"
After saying this, Yang Zhen found it amusing. Putting aside the fact that Hua Youyue was a descendant of the Hua Household, who else could have lived for ten thousand years, except for a guy like the Shameless Cat who was sealed in the Upper Gen Mirror World?
In fact, based on Yang Zhen's understanding of the Upper Gen Mirror World, even the creatures sealed within it could not survive for tens of thousands of years unless they encountered some special circumstances. The Shameless Cat was just a special case.
The Shameless Cat glanced at the sinkhole and said in a deep voice, "She may not have lived for ten thousand years, but she should possess bloodline power, what you call the Ancient Bloodline, and it has already awakened!"
Upon hearing the term "Ancient Bloodline," all three except Yang Zhen were taken aback, exclaiming in astonishment, " Ancient Bloodline?"
Yang Zhen looked at the three of them with a strange expression, finally fixing his gaze on the Shameless Cat, and asked curiously, "What exactly is the Ancient Bloodline? Does such a special bloodline really exist?"
The Shameless Cat nodded, chuckling as it said, "Since things like Heavenly Fate Spirit Root exist, Heavenly Fate Bloodline must also exist. That's why I said this little girl might not be an ordinary person!"
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and asked, puzzled, "But the Hua Household has been around for so many years, and yet no one with Ancient Bloodline has ever appeared. This little girl..."
"She's not a member of the Hua Household at all!" the Shameless Cat exclaimed, dropping a bombshell.
Yang Zhen was surprised and asked with doubt, "You mean, the little girl was adopted by the Hua Household?"
This... the mystery seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
If Hua Youyue is not a descendant of the Hua Household Hua Household, but merely an adopted daughter, then what is Hua Youyue's true identity?
She possessed astonishing talent; the strength of her Spirit Root was unparalleled in Yang Zhen's experience. Moreover, she was able to defy fate, something that ordinary people could not achieve, let alone condense Heavenly Fate Spirit Root.
Wow, this little girl is amazing! Not only does she possess Heavenly Fate Spirit Root, but she has also awakened Heavenly Fate Bloodline. This is defying the heavens!
With such powerful talent and potential, Yang Zhen wasn't too worried about her safety; however, there were simply too many problems being discovered.
What exactly happened Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth ten thousand years ago? Besides that Shameless Cat, how many others survived from before the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth? What untold secrets are swirling in that chaotic mind of Shameless Cat?
Now, Hua Youyue has become someone with a Heavenly Fate Bloodline, and has even awakened Ancient Bloodline, her potential is almost monstrous...
Yang Zhen suddenly remembered the crystal coffin he had found inside the Nine Realms Exquisite Pagoda, and how strikingly similar it was to Hua Youyue's. There shouldn't be any particular connection between the two, but what if there were some intricate connection between them?
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen looked up at Bai Xuan and asked, "Did the little girl say where she's going?"
Bai Xuan nodded and said, " Spirit Road, she said she's going to Spirit Peak to find something."
