127: The Secrets of Jingzhai, Bloodline Resonance

In the Quiet Heart Studio, the fragrance of bamboo and tea mingled, isolating them from the outside world's disturbances.

Gu Qingqing gently stroked the Ancient Slip in her arms, her gaze fixed on Su Wanqing. Her pair of hazy Phoenix eyes seemed capable of seeing through illusions. "Miss Su, having undergone the baptism of the Thunder Emperor Palace and the Nether Abyss, your Golden Core is stable, and your Middle Stage Realm is at Perfection. However, the Taiyin Power within your body still seems to conceal an unawakened strength, and your compatibility with that immortal sword (frost silence) is far from perfect."

Su Wanqing's icy eyes flickered, and she did not deny it. She indeed felt that her control over the Taiyin Power and her command of the frost silence sword were always separated by an invisible film, as if lacking a crucial catalyst. "Fairy Gu, what is your insight?"

Gu Qingqing looked at Lin Xuan, her tone carrying a hint of recollection and affirmation: "Fellow Daoist Lin possesses great Luck and extraordinary methods. To gain the favor of Miss Su and Miss Qu, and repeatedly thwart the Guixu Cult's schemes, you are truly exceptional." She paused and returned to the main topic. "In the ancient memory fragments remaining in my clan, there are scattered mentions of the 'Taiyin Imperial Clan' Bloodline. This Bloodline is not merely a Physique; it is more like an imprint of inherited authority. Only under specific Opportunities or guidance from homologous Qi can it gradually awaken and display its true power."

Taiyin Imperial Clan? This designation sounded more noble and powerful than the previous "Guanghan Immortal Palace."

Lin Xuan understood in his heart. The root cause of Su Wanqing's SSS+ potential and the string of question marks might lie here.

"Fairy Gu, do you mean you have a way to guide the Bloodline Power within Wanqing?" Lin Xuan seized the key point.

Gu Qingqing nodded slightly, and that strand of pure, ancient Moonlight Essence once again lingered around her fingertips. "I cannot awaken it directly, but the 'Moonlight Resonance Art' I inherited can draw upon the most fundamental power of the Moonlight Essence, acting like a key to attempt to knock on the door of the imprint deep within Miss Su's Bloodline. Whether the door opens, and how much it opens, depends entirely on Miss Su's own Inner Foundation and Opportunity. This action can purify her Grand Yin Origin, deepen her connection with the immortal sword, and also serve to consolidate and elevate her cultivation Realm."

She looked at Lin Xuan, her expression serious: "Although this method is not as overbearing as the 'Moonlight Soul Tempering Art' and does not require the forceful protection of Supreme Yang Qi and Blood, the Moonlight Essence it draws upon is purer and more ancient. During the process, Miss Su's consciousness must be fully immersed in the depths of her Bloodline, leaving her completely defenseless against the outside world. She still requires protection from someone she absolutely trusts and who possesses powerful Divine Sense, to guard against unforeseen circumstances."

This was not a forced increase in cultivation, but rather the excavation of her own potential and the consolidation of her Foundation, which was exactly what Su Wanqing needed most right now.

Su Wanqing looked at Lin Xuan, the trust in her icy eyes undeniable.

Lin Xuan nodded. "It is my inescapable duty."

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

On the Back Mountain Cliff Top behind the Quiet Heart Studio, clear moonlight shone everywhere.

Su Wanqing sat quietly in the center, the frost silence sword suspended before her, connected to her aura, absorbing the Moonlight Essence. Gu Qingqing stood to the side, Forming Hand Seals. That strand of ancient Moonlight Essence power, like a kindling spark, was cast into the vast moonlight.

In an instant, the moonlight on the cliff top seemed to gain life. It no longer merely illuminated, but gently rippled like a gentle tide, enveloping Su Wanqing. This Moonlight Essence did not forcefully pour in; instead, it emitted a strange Resonance Fluctuation that reached deep into the Soul, echoing the Taiyin Power within Su Wanqing's body.

Su Wanqing's body trembled slightly, and her consciousness seemed to be pulled into a world interwoven with endless ice-blue and silver radiance. She "saw" the ancient imprints deep within her Bloodline, which were previously blurred and flickering like stars, gradually becoming clear under the Moonlight Resonance. Strands of Taiyin Qi—far purer, more majestic, and closer to the Origin of the Law than what she currently controlled—slowly diffused from those imprints, merging into her Golden Core, nourishing her Divine Soul, and cleansing her Meridians.

Her cultivation did not skyrocket; it remained stable at the Mid-stage Golden Core. However, her Foundation became unprecedentedly solid, her Golden Core more rounded and crystal clear, and the range of her Divine Sense quietly expanded. Her comprehension of the Taiyin Law was like parting the clouds, revealing a broader world. Especially, the connection between her and the frost silence sword became tighter and seamless, and the intent transmitted by the Sword Spirit grew clearer and more intimate.

Lin Xuan guarded by her side, his powerful Divine Sense acting like the most loyal sentinel, enveloping Su Wanqing and ensuring that no External Demons or accidents interfered with her rare State of Enlightenment. He could feel that Su Wanqing's aura was undergoing a qualitative transformation, becoming more restrained and profound.

Qu Feiyan and Gongsun Yu acted as Protectors from a distance, watching Su Wanqing, who was enveloped in Moonlight Essence and whose aura was becoming increasingly ethereal and sacred. Astonishment flashed in their eyes. Qu Feiyan pouted and muttered, "That guy, his Luck is pretty good..." Gongsun Yu, with stars in her eyes, felt that Senior Sister Su had become even more formidable.

The entire process lasted about two hours. When the Moonlight Resonance gradually subsided, Su Wanqing slowly opened her eyes. Her icy eyes were still clear, but if observed closely, the depths of her eyes seemed to hold a miniature bright moon, circulating a cold and vast radiance. Her aura was harmonious and natural. Although she had not achieved a Breakthrough in Realm, she felt significantly stronger than before, and her control over her power had reached the State of Subtlety.

[Target Su Wanqing successfully activated a portion of the Taiyin Imperial Clan Bloodline Imprint. Grand Yin Origin purified, Foundation consolidated, and compatibility with the frost silence sword significantly increased! Host receives Bond Feedback: Taiyin Law comprehension deepened.]

Su Wanqing rose and gave Gu Qingqing a solemn bow. "Thank you, Fairy, for making this possible."

Immediately, she looked at Lin Xuan, affection and trust intertwined in her icy eyes, everything conveyed without words.

Gu Qingqing waved her hand, returning to her lazy demeanor. "The Opportunity belongs to you; I merely acted according to the circumstances." She changed the subject, her expression becoming slightly solemn. "Now that Miss Su's Foundation is more solid, it is time to deal with the real matters. The reason I came here is that I uncovered some clues: within the Qinglan Sect, the issue is likely not just limited to the Grand Elder's faction. The Guixu Cult's infiltration of the Qinglan Sect is far deeper than you imagine, and their target is very likely related to the 'Ancient Demon Sealing Site' that the Qinglan Sect guards."

Ancient Demon Sealing Site!

Lin Xuan and Su Wanqing exchanged glances, both seeing shock in the other's eyes. The Qinglan Sect actually guarded an ancient site related to 'Demons'? And the Guixu Cult's target was that place?

A new crisis and mystery slowly revealed a corner, following Gu Qingqing's words.
