Chapter 513: Ancient Clan
Ye Guan held Xuanyuan as he traveled against the current of the Time River. Soon, Ye Guan was now traversing time that existed five hundred billion years ago. If it hadn't been for Ao Qianqian, this journey would've been impossible.
In fact, he was already feeling a bit exhausted.
Ye Guan slashed out just then, carving open a spacetime rift. Then, he transformed into a ray of sword light that vanished into the spacetime rift.
Ye Guan arrived in the middle of a seemingly endless mountain range. He looked around and sat down cross-legged. "Master Pagoda, can you help me conceal my aura?"
Ye Guan had to conceal his aura. Otherwise, it'd be difficult for him to escape death even if he activated all three of his bloodlines. Moreover, he wasn't sure about his third bloodline's power, as he had yet to grasp it completely.
Little Pagoda replied, "No, I can't..."
Ye Guan fell silent.
"My concealment technique is incredibly high-level, so the fact that the enemies can still track you down means that no concealment technique can possibly hide from their gazes," Little Pagoda explained.
Ye Guan nodded slightly. "I understand."
Sovereign Nan Zhu appeared beside Ye Guan and said, "You should go to the Grand Heavenly World."
Ye Guan's brows furrowed. "Grand Heavenly World?"
Sovereign Nan Zhu nodded. "Yes, and it's a world created by the Grand Heavenly Sovereign. He's ranked second on the Sovereign List, and he once activated a very formidable array known as the Grand Heavenly Domain Array.
"Those who enter that array will have their cultivation bases suppressed. The stronger they are, the heavier the suppression.
Ye Guan said, "Entering it will suppress everyone, which might actually work in my favor. Moreover, the mysterious figure who has been spying on me in secret might not be able to spy on me anymore because of that array."
Sovereign Nan Zhu nodded. "Exactly."
"Has the Grand Heavenly Sovereign already pledged alliance to our enemies?"
"I don't know, but we can only take a gamble."
Ye Guan nodded. "Agreed."
"To save time, let me help you navigate the Time River," Sovereign Nan Zhu said before leading Ye Guan into the Time River. As soon as they entered the Time River, many powerful auras descended upon them.
The enemies had caught up to them!
Ye Guan and Sovereign Nan Zhu's expressions changed.
Sovereign Nan Zhu hurriedly said, "Go and cultivate inside the tiny pagoda. I'll bring you to the Grand Heavenly World."
Ye Guan nodded and obliged.
Sovereign Nan Zhu glanced behind him before transforming into a streak of light that disappeared at the end of the Time River.
Ye Guan sat cross-legged inside the tiny pagoda. He took off his clothes and looked at his own body, realizing that his fleshly body had changed massively. He was covered with faint golden web-like patterns. Shockingly, the patterns had blood flowing within them as if they were blood vessels.
What's going on? Ye Guan was shocked.
The red-robed Sovereign appeared just then. He stared at Ye Guan and said, "This is the legendary transformation of the Mortal Bloodline into a Mortal Physique. Your blood is changing your physique."
Ye Guan asked, "Senior, what is a 'Mortal Physique'?"
The red-robed Sovereign explained, "Those with Mortal Physiques have defied their fate and transcended the Great Dao!"
Ye Guan frowned. "I have yet to transcend the Great Dao..."
"One of your ancestors must have done it."
Ye Guan fell silent.
Could it be Father? Impossible!
Ye Xuan was the King of Relying on Others, so there was no way he would have the Mortal Physique nor the Mortal Bloodline. Grandfather? Is he a self-made man? I think he's half a self-made man. Grandfather seems to be rather extraordinary, but if it isn't Father and Grandfather, then who is it?
Ye Guan's eyes widened just then—my plain-skirt aunt! Fuck! How did I forget her?
Ye Guan's plain-skirt aunt had transcended the Great Dao with her Mortal Physique, but they weren't direct relatives.
Ye Guan hurriedly asked, "Master Pagoda, is Plain-Skirt Aunt the source of my Mortal Bloodline?"
"Yes," Little Pagoda replied.
"But she's not directly related to me..."
"Is there something wrong with your brain? Who benefits the most when someone's bloodline changes? It'd be their close relatives. Who's a close relative of your plain-skirt Aant? It's none other than your father! It's only natural for you to inherit your father's bloodline, as you are his son. Isn't that the case?"
"Why does Father not have the Mortal Bloodline, then?"
"Dunno, I'm just a pagoda."
Huh?
Ye Guan truly didn't expect that his third bloodline was come from his plain-skirt aunt, and he couldn't help but sigh upon sensing his third bloodline's immense power.
His plain-skirt aunt had truly defied the heavens with a Mortal Physique and transcended the Great Dao. She had to have lived life a splendid life. It was a pity that Ye Guan knew very little about her past; her rise to power was barely recorded.
Little Pagoda suddenly said, "What you need right now is time. Your Mortal Bloodline needs time to reform your physique into a Mortal Physique."
Ye Guan asked, "What's the point of having a Mortal Physique?"
"I don't know," Little Pagoda replied.
Ye Guan looked at the red-robed Sovereign and asked, "Senior, what's good about having a Mortal Physique?"
The red-robed Sovereign shook his head a little and said, "I don't know. I've only read about the Mortal Physique in books. I've never seen one for myself until now, so I don't really know much about it."
Ye Guan's expression fell. I guess I have to experiment on my own.
"You can use your Mortal Bloodline to help Lady Qianqian," said Little Pagoda.
"How?" Ye Guan asked.
Little Pagoda explained, "The Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan values bloodlines, so you can use your three bloodlines to enhance her bloodline."
Ye Guan slapped his thigh. "That's right!"
He had truly forgotten about that until Little Pagoda had mentioned it. Little Pagoda was right; his bloodline could indeed help Ao Qianqian!
Ye Guan immediately said, "Qianqian, let's consummate our marriage!"
Ao Qianqian was at a loss for words.
"There's no need for that because you two are already one. You two are sharing the same fleshly body as well as the same sea of consciousness. In other words, she can use your bloodline to nibble away—"
"Shut up!" Ye Guan interjected, "Master Pagoda, go and take a rest!"
With that, Ye Guan ignored Little Pagoda.
Little Pagoda: "..."
Ao Qianqian: "..."
Of course, Ye Guan couldn't really do anything with Ao Qianqian right now, so he could only do Little Pagoda's suggestion, allowing Ao Qianqian to nibble away at his three bloodline powers at a sustainable rate.
Ye Guan's bloodlines were truly horrifying, as Ao Qianqian's Ancient Heavenly Dragon Bloodline received a terrifying boost the moment Ao Qianqian used it to enhance her own bloodline.
Ao Qianqian was already extremely powerful, and she had the inheritance of the Ancestral Dragon. Her strength had also improved by leaps and bounds as she fought side by side with Ye Guan.
Ao Qianqian's aura surged wildly as she nibbled away at Ye Guan's bloodlines.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan waited quietly for his Mortal Bloodline to reform his physique completely.
The red-robed Sovereign cast a complex gaze upon Ye Guan. He had to admit that the revelation had astonished him. He didn't expect that Ye Guan would have a bloodline that seemed to only exist in legends.
In addition, he had gotten a good look at Ye Guan's outstanding prowess, and he was unmatched in both combat and mindset.
The only thing he needed was time!
The white-robed woman from the Past Clan knew that as well, which was why she didn't want to give Ye Guan any time to develop.
The red-robed Sovereign looked up. It was a high-stakes gamble, but it was going to be worth it if he won the gamble.
Sovereign Nan Zhu's voice echoed just then. "Red-robed Sovereign, come out and help me!"
The red-robed Sovereign left the tiny pagoda, and his expression became heavy.
A huge group of supreme elites were chasing after them in the distance.
To make matters worse, three Sovereigns were at the helm of the group!
Sovereign Nan Zhu hurriedly said, "We're about to reach the Grand Heavenly World. Help me buy some time."
The red-robed Sovereign wasted no words and raised his hand. Streaks of red light burst out of him, transforming into blood blades that slashed out toward the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the others.
The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign's eyes flashed coldly. He charged forward and swung his fist. A kaleidoscope of fist imprints erupted, sweeping toward the red-robed Sovereign like a tide.
Boom!
The Time River trembled!
The Baixiang Sovereign and the Warlord Sovereign moved at the same time.
Boom!
The blood blades immediately shattered, but the red-robed Sovereign and Sovereign Nan Zhu had already disappeared into the distance.
The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign's face turned ugly as he remarked, "That's Sovereign Nan Zhu and the red-robed Sovereign. They actually decided to stand on Ye Guan's side?"
The Baixiang Sovereign and the Warlord Sovereign's expressions turned sour. They truly didn't expect that those two Sovereigns would take Ye Guan's side.
The Baixiang Sovereign suddenly said, "They must be heading to the Grand Heavenly World!"
Grand Heavenly World?
The Sovereigns looked at each other and immediately rushed in the direction of the Grand Heavenly World.
If Ye Guan managed to enter the Grand Heavenly World, they would be at a huge disadvantage, as the Grand Heavenly World was a special world. They were powerful, but they dared not barge recklessly into the Grand Heavenly World.
The Grand Heavenly Sovereign was the second most powerful Sovereign in the Sovereign List! Sovereigns varied in strength, and the Grand Heavenly Sovereign was extremely powerful among all of them.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Sovereign Nan Zhu and the red-robed Sovereign had already entered the Grand Heavenly World. The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the other Sovereigns revealed ugly expressions.
Just then, the terrifying roars of beasts echoed behind them. They turned around and saw gargantuan beasts rushing toward them. The beasts resembled dragons, and they were truly gargantuan—spanning thousands of meters wide. They each had two tails, and they were covered with long, black spikes as sharp as treasured swords.
The beasts emitted horrifying auras, and their expressions were twisted into a scary grimace. The nearby spacetime quivered violently, unable to withstand the power of so many gargantuan beasts.
To make matters worse, mysterious figures clad in black armor were standing on the back of the beasts.
The beasts were Dark Dragons, and they were a type of dragon second only to Ancestral Dragons.
The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the other Sovereign frowned at once.
The Ancient Clan, which was one of the legendary Four Ancient Clans was here, and they had dispatched their most formidable armed forces—the Dark Dragon Guards!
