Chapter 1964: Chapter 1965: Origin of the Cloud Clan
However, Ye Luo clearly saw a bizarre transformation!
The Cloud Clan, which originally appeared like a mass of mist, slowly took on a human shape!
Indeed!
Under the bombardment of this Chaos Technique, unexpectedly, the shadow transformed into a human form!
It was a stunningly beautiful young girl!
Even Ye Luo could clearly see how she transformed into a human!
At last, the voice, whose source had never been visible, rang out once more!
"What’s going on with that Cloud Beast? Why has a beauty appeared on the altar?"
"No, this must be the Cloud Beast. It’s said that the young beasts of the Cloud Clan are incredibly special, possessing the ability to transform into any shape, but they seldom choose to change form due to their low intelligence!"
"Indeed, she is truly a beauty, exquisitely crafted, simply a masterpiece! No, Brother must not see this beast, or else he will certainly take her away! Haha, such a beauty as a Furnace Cauldron would be most fitting!"
"This young Cloud Clan beast, under the Chaos Technique, can be refined into a beauty, haha, this is fantastic! If I capture a large number of young Cloud Clan beasts and refine them all into Furnace Cauldrons, how wonderful would that be!"
The voice repeatedly echoed, but Ye Luo felt slightly shaken inside!
So, this is truly the origin of the Cloud Clan!
But what Ye Luo never expected was that the Cloud Clan was, indeed, the so-called Furnace Cauldron!
However, this Furnace Cauldron was artificially created!
Ye Luo was eager to know who exactly created them, but unfortunately, the scene never showed a single person’s shadow!
The illusionary realm in this jade slip was truly mystical, as its content was extremely realistic, making one feel as though they were personally there. It was evident, though, that it was impossible for someone to have recorded it from the side!
There was only one possibility then!
This was an illusionary realm created by a certain powerful individual!
It is very likely that the creator of this illusionary realm was the very first genuine member of the Cloud Clan!
...
Next, the scene focused on the first Cloud Clan woman with a human form, and it was seen that she was required by the voice’s owner to continually train in a mysterious cultivation technique each day!
Unnoticed, many women appeared by her side!
Evidently, these people were all members of the Cloud Clan!
And their daily task was singular, which was to practice a secret technique!
A secret technique used for dual cultivation!
It was evident that whoever refined the Cloud Clan had extremely high cultivation, or possessed incredibly formidable methods!
Because the cultivation realm of these Cloud Clan women was advancing at an incredibly rapid pace!
...
Suddenly, the scene abruptly shifted, and when it appeared again, there was a battle akin to the collapse of heaven and earth!
However, the battle scene was not described in detail; rather, the scene described how this group of Cloud Clan women took the opportunity during the battle outside to escape from here!
At this point, the scene ended!
...
"W-what is this?"
Ye Luo didn’t quite know how to ask, intending to inquire about the significance of what was recorded within this jade slip.
After all, he didn’t completely understand what he saw!
Whether the scene was chaotic due to erasures and transitions, or if it was inherently so, was unknown!
In short, Ye Luo didn’t fully grasp what the scene was trying to convey!
Other than the way the Cloud Clan came into being, the rest Ye Luo couldn’t quite comprehend!
Upon hearing Ye Luo’s question, Yun Yin calmly spoke!
"What you witnessed is the history of my Cloud Clan. Didn’t you want to ask what Ancient Furnace Cauldron means? Then I will tell you now; our Cloud Clan was originally referred to as the Clan of Furnace Cauldrons because, during Ancient Times, my clan was merely used by certain powerful individuals as Furnace Cauldrons!
And just like you saw, the birth of my Cloud Clan was an accident, and my Cloud Clan was not in its current appearance, but in the form it was refined into!
In fact, we Cloud Clan were originally just an unusual type of small beast!
And during Ancient Times, the only cultivation technique practiced was the Life-and-Death Lock!"
Yun Yin’s voice was quite plain, yet within this calm tone was an unimaginable truth for Ye Luo!
A Furnace Cauldron Race!
The Ancient Furnace Cauldron referred to such a thing!
Ye Luo did not respond, as he wasn’t sure what should be said!
But Yun Yin continued to speak: "What you saw in the sacrificial jade slip is just one among ten; in fact, my Cloud Clan possesses ten sacrificial jade slips, which thoroughly document the origin and evolution of the Cloud Clan, although I only have this one here!
Our Cloud Clan was originally a race used as Furnace Cauldrons by ancient powerful figures, with no control over life and death. Later, a powerful individual from our clan secretly learned a new secret technique, leading a portion of the clan to escape, continuously hiding in remote, sparsely populated areas, and steadily developed!
During the Ancient Great War, all races engaged in chaotic battles, and your Human Race quickly fell into decline, becoming one among the myriad races of the Martial Realm!
With the rise of the myriad races in the Martial Realm, our Cloud Clan finally had the chance to establish itself as a distinct entity!"
...
Yun Yin spoke a lot, which was indeed rare to hear him speak so much!
In truth, it was uncommon for anyone in the entire Cloud Clan to speak so extensively!
However, that was not the main point!
The main thing is that Ye Luo finally understood what the Life-and-Death Lock actually is!
The so-called Life-and-Death Lock should actually be called the Cloud Clan’s shackle and seal!
Each Cloud Clan member, from the time of awareness, must cultivate this secret technique of the Life-and-Death Lock, otherwise, they will inevitably die prematurely; this was a seal imprinted on their entire race when they were refined into human form!
Even after the Cloud Clan had established itself as an independent race, they could not overcome the constraints of this seal!
Not cultivating means only death!
And even after the Cloud Clan had established itself as a clan, in reality, many powerful figures would plunder them for this power of the Life-and-Death Lock!
From their birth, they were endowed with the mission of being a Furnace Cauldron race, a fate they cannot change!
The Cloud Clan’s isolation is not without reason; in fact, severing all connections with the outside world is the only way to protect them!
The fundamental reason why people of the Cloud Clan rarely venture outside is precisely because of this!
Even now, this remains the case!
After all, many know that the Cloud Clan is a powerful race of Ancient Furnace Cauldrons, and the Human Race is certainly no exception!
It is exactly because of this that the Cloud Clan chooses to close themselves off!
Furthermore, if any member of the Cloud Clan wishes to leave, the first thing they must do is tap into their Life-and-Death Lock!"
