Chapter 458 Xuanting Blood Contract
Chapter 458 Xuanting Blood Contract
"Who are you?" Guan Bi asked, looking at the skull floating beside her with great surprise.
"That kid isn't a descendant of Linghai, so it's understandable that he doesn't know me, but how come he doesn't even recognize you, little girl?"
"I've guarded the Thunder Pool for your Ling family for so many years. Even if I haven't done anything great, I've certainly put in the effort. How can you forget about me like this!" The skull's tone was very dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry, senior."
Over the years, the Ling family has declined, and many records and traditions have been lost to the dust of time.
I am the last descendant of the Ling family.
I was very young when my father entered the Thunder Pool, so I don't know much about it or my predecessors. I hope they will forgive me.
"So that hothead who tried to force his way into the Dragon Transformation Path last time was your father," the skull said with a hint of disdain.
"Then he..."
“He died, just like the other idiots in your Ling family, in that fake Thunder Pool that Xuan Ting built.”
Guan Bi lowered her eyes. Although she already knew the result, she was still somewhat saddened by its confirmation.
"A fake Thunder Pool, just as I suspected."
No wonder no one from the Ling family has brought back any news from the Thunder Pool Secret Realm for so many years. Guan Bi's heart was filled with bitterness.
"But why do all the tokens left by our ancestors point to Leichi Mountain?"
"Because the true Thunder Pool is originally located on Thunder Pool Mountain, Ling Hai's token will naturally point to that place. I don't know who he learned to be so cunning from."
"What! Where is this place...?" Guan Bi was immediately alarmed.
"You are already in the Purple Gold Thunder Pool."
Ever since Xuan Ting created that fake Thunder Pool, no one in your family has ever discovered the real Thunder Pool.
But if no one obtains the 'Dragon's Thorn', I will be bound here forever.
However, due to the contract, I cannot leave the Thunder Pool to tell you the truth, so I began to search for a way inside the Thunder Pool.
After much effort, I actually found a space hidden in a fold of space distorted by a powerful magnetic field of thunder.
It's the passageway you just came in through.
Your family really needs to thank me, otherwise Ling Hai would have been wiped out of the family line by Xuan Ting.
"Thank you, senior. I would like to ask what's the deal with that purple-gold thunder lotus?" Guan Bi couldn't help but feel nervous.
"I found the spatial fold, but I'm having trouble telling you its location."
Until recently, your friend came to me for some reason. He wanted to see you, so I had no choice but to grant his wish.
Also, ask him to bring you something for me.
I just didn't expect that with his Qi Sea Realm strength, he could travel so far in the Thunderstorm Land, almost sending the Thunder Lotus to the border between the Black Domain and the Thunderstorm Land.
While guiding you in the right direction, it also helps you kill all the wandering lightning spirits along your way. You should know that this lightning lotus has an extraordinary attraction to wandering lightning spirits.
"It's just a pity..." The skull sighed at the end.
"What a pity! What happened to him in the end?" Guan Bi asked excitedly.
"Unfortunately, after he was severely injured by a lightning spirit, he forced the lightning lotus out of his body, and I will never see him again."
Although he lost a lot of blood, he wasn't seriously injured. The child is very resilient, so you don't need to worry about him.
"Once you control the Thunder Pool, you should be able to find him easily," the skull chuckled.
"That's good!" Guan Bi finally breathed a sigh of relief; she knew that guy wouldn't die so easily.
"Senior, how can I gain control of the Thunder Pool?"
"You need to gain the approval of the Dragon Thorn."
Over the years, you are the Ling family descendant who is closest to the Dragon Thorn.
Heaven has been kind to Linghai, allowing his last descendant to come here.
"Dragon-Slaying Thorn?"
"The Dragon-Slaying Dagger is a dagger made by Ling Hai from the broken horn of a dragon. It contains a blood pact between Xuan Ting and the Ling family."
However, Xuan Ting is the soul born from the remains of a dragon, and is naturally sensitive to items on the dragon's body. As soon as you approach the Dragon-Slaying Thorn, it will immediately sense it.
I could sense that most of Xuan Ting's power was not currently in the Thunder Pool, and it would take him some time to retract his power.
That period will be your only chance, and an unprecedentedly excellent opportunity.
My freedom, and your life, and that of your friend, are both in your hands.
"I understand!" Guan Bi took a deep breath and looked at the increasingly intense purple-gold light in front of him.
after a while.
Looking at the thunder pool in front of him, which had turned completely purple and gold, and the inverted lightning net formed by the fossilized dragons above the dome, Guan Bi felt a mix of emotions.
To reach this place, the Ling family, the ruling family of the Tianhe Sword Sect, is now reduced to just her.
She was undoubtedly lucky; Shen Xu helped her complete this journey with his own blood.
Without him, she would have become just another skeleton on Leichi Mountain.
Before them, the dagger made from a broken dragon horn floated silently above the Thunder Pool, its restrained purple-gold arcs of electricity swirling across its dark surface, like a sleeping dragon soul.
The air was filled with the unique, crisp vitality of the thunder's origin, a stark contrast to the destructive aura of lightning outside.
"How can I gain its approval?" Guan Bi asked the skull calmly.
"I will use the bloodline of the Ling family to nourish the Thunder Pool." The light in the skull's eye sockets flickered, indicating that his emotions were not as calm as his words.
Guan Bi took a deep breath, suppressing the surging blood and the excruciating pain throughout her body.
He stretched out his trembling but determined hand, drew the golden sword, and forcefully slashed a deep gash in his palm, revealing the bone!
"With the blood of the Ling family, we inherit the covenant of our ancestors!"
Guan Bi murmured, his voice echoing in the empty Leichi Cave.
She clenched her fist, and the blood containing the pure bloodline of the Ling family dripped like crimson pearls onto the calmly flowing purple-gold thunder magma below.
Om-!
A sudden change occurred!
The blood was not evaporated by the lightning; instead, it seemed to activate some ancient pact.
The entire Thunder Pool instantly boiled over!
A deep purple-gold light shone brightly, and a vortex formed in the center of the Thunder Pool, drawing Guan Bi's blood and turning it into a thin line of blood that shot precisely into the broken horn!
The silver lightning patterns on the broken corner surface suddenly lit up, as if they had come to life!
The dark material seemed to be infused with life, emitting a deep, ancient dragon's roar.
The blood flowing from Guan Bi's palm was guided by an invisible force, continuously and actively wrapping around the hilt of the dagger and quickly seeping in.
Just as the last drop of blood completely seeped into the severed corner!
The broken corner jolted violently!
A purple-gold light, far more dazzling than ever before, burst forth from within the broken corner, instantly suppressing the light of the Thunder Pool. It then shone through the Thunder Pool, coloring the entire Thunder Pool Mountain in a purple-gold hue.
Countless mysterious, blood-red runes composed of pure light burst forth from the broken horn, instantly wrapping around Guan Bi's arm like chains, and heading straight for his heart and sea of consciousness along the wound in his palm!
A vast, cold aura, yet imbued with some inexplicable power, surged into Guan Bi's soul—it was the blood pact between Ling Hai and Xuan Ting!
Guan Bi instantly understood all the terms of the contract.
At this moment, she could clearly feel a powerful binding force originating from the very essence of the contract, which was crossing space through the broken horn and firmly locking onto a powerful and tyrannical being—Xuan Ting!
"Roar--!!!"
A dragon's roar, filled with shock, anger, resentment, and endless rage, exploded from Guan Bi's soul!
This was like a heavy blow to Guan Bi, causing blood to seep from his seven orifices instantly!
The entire Thunder Pool Secret Realm shook violently! The previously calm thunder within the Thunder Pool instantly went out of control.
