113: Chapter 113 The Fallen Imperial Bloodline Awakener

White Fiend's name is Li Bihan, and she was originally the Sect Master of the Jade God Sect.

The Jade God Sect was once a generation of super-strong Sects on the Lingzhou Continent.

Unfortunately, time flies and things change; the once-powerful Sect had dwindled down to just a few stray cats and kittens.

With the successive passing of the Jade God Sect's Old Ancestor generation, the Sect's strongest combat power was left only with Li Bihan, who served as Sect Master.

As the saying goes, blessings do not come in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.

Just as the Jade God Sect was entering a period of continuous decline, a heaven-shaking crisis erupted!

It was precisely because of this that the Jade God Sect was truly burned to the ground, becoming unjust souls slaughtered under the blades of the Demonic Sect.

The crime was—an innocent man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

The Jade God Sect was discovered to possess a quarter fragment of a peerless treasure, and was thus completely targeted.

Mo Yun, in order to claim credit and seek rewards from the powerful figures behind him, took the initiative to strike.

He led his Demonic Sect followers to annihilate the Jade God Sect.

In that battle to protect the Sect, the Jade God Sect could not withstand the powerful Mo Yun and the Obsidian Sect he controlled, and was thus destroyed.

Within the Sect, eight or nine out of ten Elders and Disciples were killed or injured.

The few remaining survivors who managed to escape were unable to mount any meaningful subsequent resistance.

At this juncture, having roughly understood Li Bihan's life story, Gu Qingge did not choose to collect her into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, nor did he have any intention of handing her over to Shen Bingyao.

In his eyes, a living Li Bihan would be far more useful than a Nascent Soul Stage Peak spiritual soul reduced to a disposable item.

Looking at Li Bihan's delicate and charming appearance, Gu Qingge felt his influence had taken another step forward.

Suddenly, his mind could not help but recall another familiar, cold, charming, and enchanting older sister figure.

"I do not know what kind of powerful force the Min Family behind her truly is."

Before he left, Sect Master Min Qingrou had warned him that if he could not reach the King Realm, he must absolutely not go to the Baihuang Prefecture to seek her at the Min Family.

Through this admonition, Gu Qingge could roughly judge that only by reaching that level could he ensure his own safety under the Min Family, without worrying about being captured alive by them and having his Heavenly Demon Emperor Body's Origin power stripped away.

With the Heavenly Demon Emperor Body's enchantment and the assistance of the System, he did not believe that with the strength he would display in the future, he could not step into the Peak Realm and achieve a place among the strong!

"Since ancient times, the title of Son of Heaven belongs to those with strong troops and sturdy horses."

"Cultivating the Dao follows the same principle."

"Rise with a group, control the rise and fall, and stand proudly between heaven and earth," Gu Qingge murmured thoughtfully.

"Thank you for saving me, Master," Li Bihan looked at Gu Qingge with gratitude in her eyes.

The latter's display of secret techniques to reshape her body was a kindness akin to a rebirth, which undoubtedly moved her inexplicably.

Since one could possess a human body, who would want to become a lonely soul?

...

"This place is filled with thick, eerie colors everywhere, yet it also contains solid Opportunities."

"It really gives one a feeling of both rising trepidation and unbridled exhilaration!"

The person speaking was dressed in black robes and had a rather handsome appearance.

At this moment, he was holding a hundred-year-old Blood Lingzhi he had just picked.

This Blood Lingzhi was a type of Heaven And Earth Treasure, and during its growth process, it required the blood of creatures filled with Spiritual Qi as nourishment.

Looking at the shape and texture of this Blood Lingzhi, it was not difficult to deduce that its value was extraordinary.

It must have absorbed the blood of a Nascent Soul Stage human Cultivator or a Yao Beast to have grown to such a state.

This young man was called Shi Bufan.

He was descended from one of the ancient Imperial Families.

However, it was not an ancient Imperial Family in the conventional sense.

Because, much like a fallen aristocratic Family, his once-glorious Imperial Family, which contained the Bloodline, had already fallen into the long river of time, failing to make much of a splash.

However, what filled him with expectation and hope for his own life was—he had awakened the Imperial Family's atavistic Bloodline!

The Rank classification of Bloodline Power went from Rank 1 to Rank 9, with Rank 1 being the lowest and Rank 9 the highest.

Above Rank 9, there were also Divine-Grade and Immortal Rank.

His current Bloodline Rank was at the Peak of Rank 9, one step away from reaching the Divine-Grade.

If he could consume some Medicinal Pills made from specific Heaven And Earth Treasures that assisted in enhancing Bloodline Power, he would inevitably break through in one go and reach the Divine-Grade Bloodline!

The Divine-Grade Bloodline possessed endless benefits. One of them, which Shi Bufan currently envied, was the ability to ignore all Bottlenecks below the Spirit Realm and complete a Breakthrough!

Additionally, there were things such as a certain probability of Awakening the Divine Ability inherited after connecting with the Imperial Family Bloodline, and so on.

This was a powerful effect that even a Sacred Physique might not necessarily possess.

However, although it was easy to say, it was actually far from easy to achieve.

After all, his Family was no longer a glorious Imperial Family, but had fallen into a small Family situated in a remote corner.

Although he had awakened the Imperial Family's Bloodline Power, the resources provided by the Family were simply insufficient to support him in achieving great imperial hegemony.

Because of this, Shi Bufan relied on himself to fight his way along the path of Cultivation.

Relying on his constantly rising strength and Heaven-Defying luck, at only sixteen years old, he had reached the strength of the Golden Core Stage Peak.

On the Heaven Ranking previously published on the Lingzhou Continent, his name was also listed.

"If I could take this Imperial Legacy Secret Realm into my possession, would I still have to scrape together resources for Cultivation and snatch food from the tiger's mouth?"

Thinking of this, endless desire and heat flashed in his eyes.

"The wind and snow have pressed upon me for two or three years; I laugh at the wind and snow, for they are as light as cotton."

Shi Bufan's life motto was: no matter what, to achieve his goal, he would use any means necessary.

Therefore, he would not let such an Opportunity, which would cause lifelong regret if missed, slip away!

After all, the ambition in his heart could rival the brilliance of the sun and moon, and could illuminate the galaxy for ten thousand miles!

However, even if he anticipated that the threats and hidden dangers of this Imperial Secret Realm were powerful and unimaginable.

Even if an ordinary Prodigy broke in, they would undoubtedly die.

What was even more unexpected to him was that this place would become his burial ground.

Even with the Imperial Family Bloodline.

Even if he also possessed an ultra-strong trump card.

It would still be of no avail!

...

After this Secret Realm opened, it did not, like typical Secret Realms, block the grouping behavior between Cultivator groups.

Instead, it let things take their own course, and even intentionally concentrated and dropped the Cultivator groups.

After breaking through the Restriction, all the Cultivators swarmed in, their momentum vast and mighty.

Most of the Cultivators present held one thought: when in doubt, just charge in; what if it works out?

Cultivating immortality is inherently a Heaven-Defying act; if one always sought safety in everything, in the end, they would only wither away like grass in one Realm, unable to make any progress.

However, this place was fraught with murderous intent and danger; it was no longer an ordinary Secret Realm exploration site.

As for the Cultivators who could escape alive from this slaughter, it is truly unknown how many would survive.
