Chapter 143: Blood Inheritance
"What did she mean by chaos is the answer."
Chen Tian was more hung up on the word "chaos."
"Is something wrong?"
"Huh?"
Su Bingxin approached Chen Tian with two drinks in hand.
Observing his pondering expression and evident concern, she could tell he was lost in deep thought.
"You've been absent-minded since coming out of the trial ground.
Is something wrong? You know you can tell me if anything is bothering you," Su Bingxin said kindly as she handed one of the drinks to Chen Tian.
He took a sip and sighed, still lost in his thoughts. Eventually, he looked up and met her gaze, appreciating her genuine concern.
He shook his head and smiled. "It's nothing, just some things on my mind," he replied.
Su Bingxin grabbed a chair and positioned it beside Chen Tian before taking a seat herself.
She then hesitantly opened her mouth and said, "Are... are you returning to your continent?" She said in a soft voice.
"Not yet," Chen Tian replied, his voice filled with worry.
He was worried about his family back on earth; it may not seem long for them, but for him, it had been a month since he last saw them.
Which has never happened before.
His aunt took great care of him as if he was her son and never let him feel neglected or alone. But now, being away for so long has made him feel a pang of guilt and concern.
He couldn't shake off the thought that something wrong was happening back on earth.
Hearing that he wasn't leaving, Su Bingxin's eyes sparkled with joy.
She had grown pretty close to Chen Tian this month.
She didn't want him to leave and was worried about what would happen if he did. She had become accustomed to his presence and enjoyed his company, and the idea of him being so far away made her feel a sense of emptiness.
She hoped that he would stay.
But unlucky for her, Chen Tian's next word made her heart sink.
"I will return when we leave for the Immortal Sword Sect."
He explained that he had to go back to take care of urgent family matters and that he didn't know when he would be able to return.
Su Bingxin's face fell, disappointment washing over her.
She had let herself hope for his continued presence, only to have her hopes dashed in an instant.
Her expression didn't escape Chen Tian's notice, as he could see the sadness in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I will return from time to time before we arrive at the Immortal Sword Sect."
He tried to reassure her, promising to come back as soon as he could and saying that their time apart wouldn't be long.
"Um" A happy smile tugged at the corners of Su Bingxin's lips as she listened to Chen Tian's words.
After a great pause, Chen Tian said, "Do you want to open the inheritance box before we leave for tomorrow since by tomorrow it would be hard to stay alone in the Immortal Sword Sect?"
Su Bingxin's eyes widened with excitement at the mention of the inheritance box. She nodded eagerly, unable to contain her curiosity.
"Yes, let's open it now," she replied, her voice filled with anticipation.
Chen Tian smiled seeing her excitement hie was also curious about the content of the box, "Okay, let enter inside and open it I will also put a formation around us to ensure that no one sense what happening her like Su Linhua said."
He left, and Su Bingxin's heart raced as she followed Chen Tian to the living room.
Clearing the center of the room, they gently positioned the box between them, settling into a comfortable seated position.
"I will open it."
"O-Okay" Su Bingxin nodded.
Chen Tian took a deep breath and slowly lifted the lid of the box.
Of course, he was prudent when he opened the box. Su Linhua and Long Wei's expressions when explaining about the box made Chen Tian feel that something was wrong.
With a nervous breath, Su Bingxin watched as Chen Tian revealed the contents of the box.
"That?"
It was not what they expected. Inside, instead of a valuable treasure or ancient artifact, there lay a simple, two-bottle bottle of liquid.
One was red, and the other was light blue.
"What that?" Su Bingxin asked, as it was the first time she had seen such a peculiar sight.
"That blood inheritance!"
Chen Tian's eyes widened in surprise as he recognized the two bottles.
Now he understood why Su Linhua said that it's a precision treasure.
He had heard stories about the legendary Blood Inheritance, a powerful potion said to grant bloodlines abilities to those who consumed it.
Su Bingxin's curiosity peaked as she listened intently to Chen Tian's explanation.
Seeing her confused gaze, Chen Tian explained what blood inheritance is.
"Blood inheritance is a concept deeply rooted in the realm of cultivation.
Just as rivers carry the essence of the land they flow through, our blood carries the ancestral essence of our lineage. In the cultivation world, blood is not merely a bodily fluid; it's a vessel of power and connection to our ancestors.
Every family, every clan, has its own unique bloodline attributes.
These traits are akin to the distinctive markings of a beast, showcasing the essence of that lineage.
Some bloodlines might bestow enhanced physical prowess, while others might grant mastery over elemental forces. These attributes, once unlocked, become a cultivator's signature, a testament to their heritage.
But the problem is that to create a bloodline inheritance, one needs to be a high level cultivator and give up a part of their own essence. It is a sacrifice that only some cultivators are willing to make.
That means that the cultivator who made the bloodline inheritance is going to die."
"So those two bottles are those so-called blood inheritances?" Su Bingxin asked, shocked, her eyes wide with disbelief.
The realization hit her like a wave, as she understood the gravity of the sacrifice made by the cultivators who created these bloodline inheritances.
"Yes"
Using his Chaos insight, Chen Tian further believed that these bloodline inheritances were not to be taken lightly.
******
Red Bottle: Dragon Emperor Bloodline.
Blue Bottle: Frost Sovereign Bloodline.
******
"Those are quite impressive titles for these bloodline inheritances," Chen Tian mused.
"Here, take this blue bottle and drink its contents," Chen Tian said, passing the blue bottle to Su Bingxin.
As she held the bottle in her hand, Su Bingxin felt a cold emanating from it.
"Are you sure it's okay?" Su Bingxin was a little nervous, her voice trailing off.
"These bloodline inheritances hold incredible power," Chen Tian reassured her, his eyes gleaming with confidence.
"It will not only improve your cultivation base but also enhance your talents and even your understanding of the law, so you don't have to worry about any negative effects," he continued, his voice steady and reassuring.
Su Bingxin hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and uncorked the bottle.
She raised it to her lips, feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension. With one swift motion, she tilted the bottle and drank its contents, hoping that Chen Tian's words held true.
|Woshhhh|
The moment she drank the content, her body started to tingle, as if an electric current was surging through her veins.
A surge of energy washed over her, and she could feel her senses sharpening.
Cold air started to fill her lungs as her heart began to race.
The room also started to feel colder, Chen Tian watched in awe as a bright blue glow surrounded her, illuminating the entire room.
The liquid she had consumed was working its magic, enhancing her abilities beyond her wildest imagination.
He could now feel the energy pulsating within her,
"Her bloodline is changing," Chen Tian whispered to himself.
He could sense a new power awakening inside her, as if dormant for centuries.
Not wanting to be left out, Chen Tian also took a sip of the red liquid.
As the liquid flowed down his throat, a surge of warmth spread through his body.
Chen Tian's senses sharpened, and he felt a surge of strength coursing through his veins.
Opposite Su Bingxin, he started to feel hotter, and his skin began to glow with a faint golden hue.
The liquid seemed to be transforming him as well, enhancing his own abilities.
Fire and ice filled the room as Chen Tian's fire energy clashed with Su Bingxin's ice energy. The air crackled with energy as their powers intensified, creating a breathtaking display of elemental mastery.
Chen Tian could feel that the blood pumping through his veins was now boiling, fueling his energy to new heights.
However, unexpectedly, something he had never considered as a possibility occurred.
