127: Yukihime

In the center of the Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan, space fluctuated continuously.

The portal to the Small World opened.

Several people stepped inside.

Before the light and shadows had even dissipated, waves of tea fragrance wafted through the air, greeting their nostrils.

Qin Tian opened his eyes.

It was an exquisitely beautiful woman dressed in white.

Her flowing white hair cascaded to the ground, longer than her body and as fine as snow.

Above her eyes, her white eyebrows curved just right, and she gazed at Qin Tian with a hint of curiosity.

This was the Ancient Ancestor of the Xue Clan.

A being rumored to be of the same generation as the Qin Family's Ancient Ancestor.

He hadn't expected her to be so young.

"Greetings, Senior."

"Greetings, Old Ancestor," Xue Yi bowed.

Yun Xi wasn't surprised; she had seen this figure when she first entered the Ancestral Land.

"Illusion Heart, serve tea," the woman said indifferently.

"Yes."

Illusion Heart, who was brewing tea, lightly raised her hand, and several cups of milky-white mist tea floated before the three of them.

The Spiritual Qi was dense; it was clearly extraordinary at a glance.

The three of them drank at the same time.

Then.

Thud!

Xue Yi and Yun Xi fainted simultaneously.

Qin Tian: !!!

"No need to be nervous. This is Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Tea; it has immense benefits for them."

"There are some things they aren't qualified to hear, so I let them sleep for a while."

Qin Tian was somewhat wary.

"What exactly do you want to say, Senior?"

"That fellow from the Qin Family placed a Restriction on you to hide your Bloodline, but he can't hide it from me," the Xue Clan's Ancient Ancestor spoke calmly.

"You have half of the Xue Clan Bloodline. Why don't you call me 'Old Ancestor'?"

Qin Tian was slightly stunned. "What kind of Old Ancestor throws their Junior into an illusion right from the start?"

"Oh? Weren't you enjoying it?" The Xue Clan's Ancient Ancestor looked at Yun Xi with a half-smile.

"As a Disciple, you harbor ill intentions toward your Revered Master."

"What a fine Rebellious Disciple indeed!"

Qin Tian: "..."

Why did it feel like this person in front of him lacked the dignity of an elder?

She even peeked at things like this?

Let's see who you are!

[Name: Snow Princess

Realm: Free and Unfettered Emperor Realm

dao seed: Immortal in the Snow (immortal grade)

Dao Fruit: Ember Snow, Immortalization, Eternal Silence... Special: Female Protagonist Halo

...That damn Xiao Chen.

He wouldn't even let his own Ancient Ancestor off!

Qin Tian felt indignant.

And you, how old are you!

How could you be conquered by a green youngster?

You've lived all this time for nothing!

Seeing Qin Tian's strange gaze, Snow Princess's brows furrowed.

"Brat, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Tian snapped back to reality. "Nothing. Senior, an illusion is just an illusion; it didn't actually happen."

"Oh?"

"Then it's fine even if I tell your Revered Master?"

"Don't!"

"Let's talk this out, Old Ancestor!"

Snow Princess's lips curled up. "This nervous look of yours actually has a bit of my sister's shadow."

"Sister?" Qin Tian was surprised.

"The current Xue Clan are all my sister's descendants."

Qin Tian: "..."

They were separated by countless generations; how could there still be a shadow? It was just her own sentiment.

"Then, what about your descendants, Old Ancestor?"

Snow Princess paused. "They're all dead."

"Actually, Revered Master has no descendants at all..." a discordant voice rang out.

Little Bell blurted out instinctively.

Snow Princess's eyes darkened.

"Hie—!"

Little Bell jumped in fright and instantly transformed into a piece of translucent five-colored jade, bouncing into a corner and shivering.

Qin Tian was somewhat surprised.

No descendants?

Could it be that she's never...?

...No wonder she could be conquered... Snow Princess frowned, but her expression soon relaxed.

"The small talk ends here. It's time to discuss serious business."

"That Senior from the Qin Family once left something in the deepest part of the Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan."

"What is it?" Qin Tian was curious.

"A drop of blood."

"Blood? The blood of the Qin Family's Longevity Being?" Qin Tian was puzzled.

Snow Princess shook her head. "A drop of blood that fell from Chaos."

"The places where the Ancient Immortal Realm and the Eternal Foreign Realm are located are but a corner of Chaos."

"You mean, Old Ancestor, that this drop of blood might come from some extremely powerful being within Chaos?"

Xue Yi nodded. "The ancestors speculated as much."

"That drop of blood has remained silent, but it contains incredibly powerful energy that even Longevity Beings would shrink back from."

"Has no one tried to awaken it?"

"They tried, but there was no response."

Qin Tian: ...This familiar scent.

Needless to say, this drop of blood is definitely prepared for Xiao Chen.

Only he could awaken it.

No way!

I can't let that guy Xiao Chen get the advantage, no matter what!

Snow Princess continued, "I think if it's you, perhaps you can awaken it..."

No, I can't... Qin Tian complained internally.

But the System should be able to.

"Old Ancestor, I'll go give it a try."

Snow Princess nodded slowly. "The Legacy left by that Longevity Being of the Qin Family is also here, guarding that drop of blood."

"Old Ancestor, why did the Qin Family ancestor leave his Legacy here?"

Snow Princess paused slightly.

"If they could not share a bed in life, they sought to sleep together in death."

"This was that Senior's only remaining obsession."

Qin Tian was somewhat dazed. "So the ancestor was also a man of deep feeling."

There must have been many stories between the Qin Family ancestor and the Xue Clan ancestor... but now, they have all dissipated with time.

"Revered Master, Xue Yi, and the others..."

"Don't worry, they will be fine."

"Go down."

Space fluctuated, and Qin Tian felt a sense of weightlessness as he fell freely.

His surroundings grew darker and darker until the last sliver of light vanished.

After an unknown amount of time.

Qin Tian finally saw a glimmer of light below.

Gradually, the light grew brighter.

With a splash.

Light rushed at him like a tide.

And Qin Tian stood in the deepest part of the Ancestral Land of the Xue Clan.

Waves of scorching heat hit his face one after another.

Looking closely.

Lava surged all around, as if even the air could be melted.

"Is this underground?"

While he was wondering, the lava beneath Qin Tian's feet began to shake violently.

A powerful aura rose from below, locking onto him completely.

From the flowing lava, two crimson beams of light shot out.

Wherever they passed, they were unstoppable, and everything was thoroughly corroded.

Qin Tian was startled and retreated rapidly.

Finally.

The lava erupted and splashed everywhere as the owner of those light beams appeared with a boom.

A massive phantom surged out, almost covering the entire space.

"This is..."

"A Dragon...!"

Now circling before Qin Tian was a Flame Dragon, its entire body crimson, exhaling scorching Flame Breath from its mouth.

The Flame Dragon stared at Qin Tian with burning eyes.

"What brat dares to trespass here!"

Qin Tian spoke slowly.

"Junior Qin Tian is here to find something left by my ancestor. I ask Senior to grant me passage."

"Hahaha!"

"You disturb my slumber and still want me to grant you passage!"

"How can there be such a good deal in this world?"

"Kneel and kowtow to me three times, and I will let you pass!"

Qin Tian sighed softly.

"Senior, you wouldn't listen when I spoke nicely."

"Then you can't blame me."

The Flame Dragon grinned. "A little Cultivator in the Guixu Realm, you certainly talk big!"

"Do you know that people like you who have been buried in my belly are too many to count!"

Qin Tian looked up. "Oh? Is that so?"

"Then let me count them."

As he spoke, seven strands of Immortal Qi suddenly rose!

Qin Tian's figure flashed and vanished, completely disappearing from the Flame Dragon's perception..."}],
