93: The secret of blood, a one-in-a-billion chance of atavism

“My life is a tragedy, but you, my son.”

“You are my flesh and blood, and you are innocent. You shouldn’t be drawn into the disputes of the previous generation.”

“And I am a mother for the first time, without much experience, but don’t worry! I’ve already gone to find someone to learn from.”

Chu Yi said, making a gesture to guarantee it, which made Jun Lingxiao laugh out loud.

She mumbled a lot, and rather than sitting like a proper mother, she was more like a close friend.

However, Jun Lingxiao still didn’t understand.

“Mother, how did you… discover it?”

The second stage of the Human Race Tinder burned life. Although his Spirit Domain Realm cutting down a Supreme Realm seemed simple, there were six great Realms in between! If he didn’t use that abnormal thing, the Tinder, it really wouldn’t have been so outrageous.

After only five breaths of activation, a gash appeared on his arm. Although it was slowly healing, no other healing methods were effective.

This made Jun Lingxiao witness the power of the second stage, and also the price of obtaining that power.

If the second stage was like this, what kind of will did those Human Race ancestors possess to freely activate the fifth stage and ignite themselves? What kind of scene must that have been?

And his mother, he had hidden it so well, how did she know?

“How did I discover it?”

Chu Yi scoffed, openly admitting, “Although I may not be a qualified mother, if I can’t even notice something about my own child, then I would truly be unworthy of being a mother.”

As she spoke, she had already treated Jun Lingxiao’s wound, wrapping it tightly.

“The way your arm swung when you walked was not right.”

Jun Lingxiao suddenly understood when he heard this, but the next moment, an inexplicable emotion welled up. Perhaps only his parents could notice such small details that even he hadn’t paid attention to.

“Son, ever since my dream dissipated, I’ve been very depressed, as if everything in the world had lost its meaning.”

“Of course, it’s not that I dislike the Jun Family. I’m not that ungrateful. They support me without me doing anything, I can lie around all day and eat the best, use the best. I can’t hate a Jun Family like that.”

“Although life now is quite comfortable, I feel like I’m missing a goal.”

“Son, tell me… what should I do?”

Chu Yi’s question was sincere, her eyes filled with confusion about the future.

Originally, he had come to ask about his Bloodline, but now she was asking him instead.

Jun Lingxiao pondered for a moment, then tilted his head and proposed a bold idea.

“Make the Chu Family take the surname Jun?”

Conquer the Chu Family today, the Ye Family tomorrow, the Qin Family the day after tomorrow, and the great unification of the Jun Family would be just around the corner!

Chu Yi turned her head in surprise when she heard this, and after meeting Jun Lingxiao’s serious gaze, she laughed, laughing without any regard for her image.

“Hahahaha! Son, you sure are daring to say that. Making the Chu Family take the surname Jun would not only throw the Ten Directions Immortal Court into chaos, but the entire Three Thousand Provinces!”

She laughed very easily, as if she had cast off a long-held burden. Decades of calm were broken by her son’s words, making her laugh so hard that tears came to her eyes.

After laughing, she reached out and wiped away a few tears from the corners of her eyes, then directly stood on several boxes, overlooking the distance, as if she had made some kind of decision.

“However, your words have indeed enlightened me.”

“New goal: I want the Chu Family to be surnamed Chu!”

It seemed like a contradictory statement, but Jun Lingxiao understood it. He echoed her with a question:

“The Chu of the Chu Family?”

“No, it’s the Chu of Chu Yi.”

After she finished speaking, both mother and son laughed. Their conversation jumped from topic to topic, highly contradictory, saying whatever came to mind, but both understood each other, and finally exchanged a smile.

The Chu of the Chu Family and the Chu of Chu Yi seemed the same, but in reality, they were completely different.

“Son.”

She called out, then looked down, her eyes still filled with that gentle warmth.

“Only after I was abandoned by the Chu Family did I understand that the Family’s interests are above all else, and everyone is a foundation for the Family. I was no exception.”

“From that moment, I swore that I, Chu Yi, would never let my son repeat my mistakes and become a sacrifice for the Family.”

“So, look there, follow this direction, and the Chu Family is there.”

“Everything there will be yours in the future. No one can force you to do anything. The Jun Family cannot, and the Chu Family cannot either.”

Chu Yi made a bold declaration, but surprisingly, these words coming from her mouth didn’t feel out of place at all. Instead, there was a sense of absolute certainty.

Jun Lingxiao also had no doubts about this.

After all, the only ones who could be warned by the Great Dao Voice, besides his own Old Ancestor and the Chu Family’s Old Ancestor, was his mother.

This meant that his mother could, to some extent, rival an Old Ancestor? Of course, it might not be in strength, but in potential, or something else.

Jun Lingxiao didn’t know the specifics, but he finally got to hear about his Bloodline from his mother, as he had wished.

She said that the Chu Family People must have already looked for him, and his Bloodline was indeed special.

The Chu Family’s Bloodline was unique in the world and actually more powerful than the Jun Family’s, but it was restricted by an ancient covenant and could not Breakthrough. Countless people were stuck at the Emperor Realm, Great Emperor, and could never Breakthrough.

The Jun Family was looking for the Divine Gate, which was the key to Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor, but the Chu Family was also looking for the Holy Infant. Both were crucial for Breakthrough.

pure blood, by rights, could only appear in the main branch of the Chu Family. There was a one in ten thousand chance of it being born from the union of high Bloodlines. However, with the Heavenly Dao dissipated and Law stagnant, the Chu Family had not produced a pure blood for countless years.

As for his Bloodline, the Jun Family had also had intermarriages with the Chu Family before. It was possible that his father also carried a trace of the Chu Family’s Bloodline. The union of the two, with a one in a billion chance of Bloodline Awakening, or some other reason, gave birth to him, a golden pure blood who could hear the Great Dao Voice.

However, the Jun Family’s Bloodline within him was also not low. It might be due to the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo that the two Bloodlines were preserved in an incredible way, independent of each other, yet each playing its respective role.

The Chu Family’s Bloodline hadn’t manifested before because it hadn’t Awakened yet. All Chu Family People undergo Awakening after reaching adulthood. I’ll take you to the Chu Family sometime in the future. After Bloodline Awakening, your strength will undoubtedly increase greatly, but at the same time, it will also attract countless troubles.

But it’s okay, Mother will protect you.

When Chu Yi said these words, she was exceptionally firm, almost as if she could tear down the heavens for her son.

And Jun Lingxiao had no doubts about this either.

Only she had experienced it, and she knew how desperate it was. She would absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not let the same despair fall upon her son!

Afterward, Chu Yi spoke a lot more, rambling on. Though not old, she had already mastered that way of speaking.

She repeatedly told Jun Lingxiao to take good care of himself and to come to her with any problems. As long as Mother was there, he wouldn’t suffer any grievances.

Jun Lingxiao came empty-handed and left with over a dozen boxes of Medicinal Pills. It seemed these Medicinal Pills were not simple.

However, Chu Yi did not mention what exactly the pure blood was, only saying that he would find out when they went to the Chu Family later.

Back at the Divine Son Hall.

That night, as Jun Lingxiao was in his hall looking at the egg that had already begun to crack, he heard Jun Hongxuan’s voice from afar.

“I heard the Divine Son is back? Where is he? Where is he?”

“Let me in, there’s an urgent report!”

“The True Dragon Secret Realm… has been postponed!”
