Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

1217 Fool?

Suddenly, Ryu understood. He had an Ancient Dao and it was what he had relied upon to pass her trial, however there was a distinct lack of branding on his forehead. If you put two and two together, this conclusion was almost obvious. How could anyone reach the conclusion that he, as a Dao Pedestal Realm expert, was able to avoid a brand created by the Higher Heavens?

Even now that Ryu knew what the Favor Alchemy Sky God was getting at, it was difficult to explain in a few words, and even more difficult to prove it.

"I see... I'm not from the Higher Heavens."

Instead of waiting for the Favor Alchemy Sky God, Ryu's aura flourished and his Qilin, Dragon and Phoenix Bloodlines flourished.

"I am from a Middle World."

This was the easiest way to prove himself. The Higher Heavens would never allow such Bloodlines to come together, only in the lower worlds where the variables were so enormous and variable could something so ridiculous happen.

It had to be understood that for Ryu to appear, his grandparents had to come together, then his parents, but he appeared. But here, his grandparents would have never been allowed to do such a thing, their Ancestors would have preferred to kill them than allow such a thing, so it was even less likely for such a thing to happen twice and produce his parents, and then somehow even let them come together.

It was impossible.

The Favor Alchemy Sky God blinked. "... How?"

Ryu smiled lightly. "I have the Lightning Qilin Bloodline, that matched with my Dao makes it much easier for me to deal with Lightning Tribulations compared to the usual person. Unless I'm faced with a Tribulation designed for someone far above my cultivation Realm, it won't pose any threat to me, but such a tribulation would never target me to begin with."

The Favor Alchemy Sky God's eyes lit up. So by resolving the Tribulation, Ryu was able to avoid being branded?

Seeing her accept this explanation so easily, Ryu was somewhat speechless. Was this really someone who had reached the height of Transcended Sky God in her lifetime? She was really like a little girl?

Of course, she looked like a grown woman, her curves spoke for themselves. However, Ryu had gotten used to judging people's ages based on their character and auras. So long as your cultivation reached a certain standard, you would pretty much always be at your prime, around 21 years old or so. So, even though the Favor Alchemy Sky God was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen, he could only stand to look at her like a little girl.

Suddenly, the Favor Alchemy Sky God bowed lightly. Her almost see-through pink lace robes were so loose and thin that the small action nearly made her breasts fall out, but she didn't seem to notice at all.

"I'm sorry, I made a poor assumption. I apologize if I scared you."

Ryu was rendered speechless again. Why was this Sky God so naïve, and even going so far as to apologize to him? What was he supposed to say to this?

"It's not a problem," Ryu said lightly. "But why would it be a bad thing if I was from the Higher Heavens?"

The Favor Alchemy Sky God pouted.

"I deduced the future many years ago and it said that my successor would be someone from a small world. I was angry because I thought I was wrong. My premonitions said that you would have a method for me to reform my body."

Ryu's heart skipped a beat.

Almost immediately, the image of a naïve little girl was wiped from his mind. Looking into the innocent eyes of the Favor Alchemy Sky God, he saw nothing more than a monster wrapped in beautiful silks.

The Favor Alchemy Sky God wasn't naïve. No, it was more than she had all the right to be naïve because she seemed to know what would happen long before it happened. If you could guess all the things that would happen to you before they happened, why would you ever build a sharp aversion to danger? Why would you ever learn to be properly skeptical? Why would you form any sort of wariness toward the world?

He might not have believed her if he only said he was from a lower world, after all he had just told her that himself. The most shocking thing, and the reason his reaction was so violent, was because did have a method for the Favor Alchemy Sky God to reform her body.

It was a method he had kept aside for Eska and one he still planned to give her... But why did the Favor Alchemy Sky God sound so sure that he would be willing to give this method to her instead?

Ryu's casual expression faded. He no longer looked like he was facing a little girl and the soft edges of his expression vanished. In its place, there was a deep coldness.

"What do you want?" Ryu said with a narrowed gaze.

The Favor Alchemy Sky God didn't seem to notice this change in Ryu, or maybe she was just used to people reacting like this to her abilities.

"I would like to use the body in your possession."

"I've prepared this body for my concubine, why would I give it to you?" Ryu asked coldly.

"Because the help I can give you is greater. In addition, you will be able to gain other methods to help her in the future."

"If finding other methods was so easy, why couldn't you find them with your methods?"

Did he look like a fool?

Flowing Frost's body was a very rare opportunity. Flowing Frost was a Perfect Sky God who had preserved her body at her prime, separating from it so that she could give a worthy successor something in exchange to help her family seek the revenge they deserved.

Where else would one find a Sky God willing to give up their prime years so unselfishly? Such a thing was obviously next to impossible.

But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Not only had Flowing Frost done such a thing, but she had also primed her body such that it wouldn't reject another soul. Such methods were practically unheard of.

Why should he give the Favor Alchemy Sky God such a thing?
