Chapter 1119 - 807: Breakthrough!
Does he not want to see her?
Indeed, she killed him with her own hands, he definitely wouldn’t want to see her.
Shen Tang’s emotions were inexplicable. When she learned that the guy still had a thread of life, she somehow felt relieved.
Uh... She was surprised after realizing her change in mindset! Perhaps that guy had his reasons for his misdeeds, but he definitely wasn’t a good person, he killed the innocent indiscriminately, he deserved his fate.
She just felt pity for the Blood Clan.
If one more Blood Clan person could be revived, especially an extremely rare member of the Blood Race Royal Family, it would definitely be a good thing for the Blood Clan.
Mhm, that’s right, definitely that’s how it is!
Shen Tang steadied her mind, and continued to ask, "What is the key that the High Priest mentioned? How can the Blood Clan be revived?"
Ying Zhao shook her head, "It’s not resurrection. Birth, old age, illness, and death are the eternal rules of energy, and even the most powerful beings cannot shake the laws of life. Even if the Divine Hall conducted those unethical experiments, they needed the Blood Clan’s blood, not truly creating new life..."
Ying Zhao spoke, and some vague memories seemed to strike her.
Long ago, there appeared to be a mysterious visitor who came to the Blood Clan to inquire about immortal resurrection methods.
At that time, she was very young, probably in her teens, having just taken over the position of High Priest not long ago.
She told the mysterious visitor there were no resurrection methods in the world, nor any true methods of immortality.
The visitor seemed not to believe her words, perceiving them as evasions. He seemed convinced that the Blood Clan had some mysterious power, some means to revive life.
And then what... Then what happened? Perhaps too much time had passed, Ying Zhao couldn’t remember well. The fragments of these memories just flashed fleetingly in her mind, it seemed indeed such an occurrence transpired.
But those distant pasts had no use now, as Ying Zhao had little remaining energy left, she didn’t bring them up again.
She continued to say, "Many clan members who died in the war sleep under yellow sands, never truly waking. Some highly talented Blood Clan Beastmen can gather origin power after death, which are the souls you now see. To restore them to their pre-death state is essentially not resurrection, but rather using the remaining trace of souls to reshape bodies and extend their unfinished lives."
Shen Tang nodded to express understanding, "Then if I want to help the seniors reshape their bodies, what should I do? How can I find that key?"
Ying Zhao lightly taps her translucent, elegant finger on Shen Tang’s forehead, instantly, a massive amount of information pours into Shen Tang’s sea of consciousness.
Her pupils slightly trembled, then she quickly digested these contents.
The method to revive the Blood Clan Beastmen is complex and requires specific secret techniques, intricate rituals, and a variety of precious materials.
Materials are difficult to find but not extinct; given time to search, they can surely be found.
However, the entire revival ritual needs one most crucial item, absolutely indispensable—the Blood Soul Jade.
It is the treasure of the Blood Clan, worshiped over generations, regarded as the foundation of the clan.
It is a crystal stone, blood-red all over, standing three meters tall, composed of the Essence Blood from successive Monarchs and Priests, containing extremely potent power.
Using the power of the Blood Soul Jade, these souls on the altar can be revived.
Regrettably, during that ancient war a thousand years ago, the Blood Soul Jade was stolen.
No one knows how the Blood Soul Jade was stolen or who got hold of it, but the highest suspect is the Divine Hall.
Only by reclaiming the Blood Soul Jade can the Blood Clan be revived.
Ying Zhao spoke about the stealing of the Blood Soul Jade, full of guilt, she, as High Priest, failed to protect the Blood Soul Jade, it was her dereliction.
"This matter isn’t the fault of the High Priest; it’s those who covet our clan’s treasure who are too cunning!"
"Back then, surely those thieves bribed spies and took the opportunity when the chaos of war left it unguarded, and stole our clan’s treasure."
"Yes, it must be those bastards from the Divine Hall, the Blood Soul Jade is certainly in their hands."
"Do not blame yourself, High Priest; you’ve already done enough."
Those souls also floated over swiftly; their voices were already very faint but still tried hard to comfort, unable to bear the sight of the High Priest looking so desolate and self-reproachful.
The High Priest has done so much for the Blood Clan, even almost sacrificing herself, almost losing this last trace of soul, but they tried their utmost to preserve just this little soul of the High Priest.
The souls were all burning with fierce resentment.
Ying Zhao calmed her mind, gazed gently at Shen Tang, and with a tone of plea in her voice, "I guide you here because I want to entrust this matter to you. Are you willing to help the Blood Clan reclaim the Blood Soul Jade?"
Shen Tang nodded without hesitation, "Of course I am willing, and this is the purpose of my coming here."
"Thank you, child; if you truly reclaim the Blood Soul Jade, you will be a benefactor of our Blood Clan." Ying Zhao was moved and didn’t know what to say.
Despite this child not being a Blood Clan person, she has done so much for them. Unexpectedly, the future of the Blood Clan is entrusted upon her shoulders.
If they want to repay her, they only could do this one thing.
"I see on you a mark left by the Blood Race Royal Family, is this... a partner mark?" Ying Zhao suddenly realized and looked at Shen Tang with even more gentle and loving eyes, "This mark contains a trace of origin power from that Monarch, through which you can be transformed into the Blood Clan, and not just a lesser Blood Clan, but a noble pure-blood Blood Clan Beastman."
Shen Tang was slightly stunned, "Transform into the Blood Clan?"
Ying Zhao nodded with a smile, "Yes, as long as you transform into the Blood Clan, you can enhance your bloodline talents and better accept power from the Blood Clan... However, this transformation is irreversible; once transformed into the Blood Clan, you can never revert."
Shen Tang quickly shook her head, "No, no, I feel good as I am now, and I don’t want to transform into the Blood Clan."
"Ho-ho~ That’s fine, it’s entirely your choice, whenever you want to transform, you can do it."
Ying Zhao spoke very candidly and did not persuade further.
She gathered all the Blood Clan souls from the altar together, her tone also solemn, "With your current power, it’s insufficient to fully challenge the Divine Hall, we will pour all remaining power into you, in hopes it can aid you tremendously!"
The other souls also chimed in,
"Please take with you this power of the Blood Clan and help us reclaim the treasure, thank you."
Suddenly, countless powers surged from the blood beads, entering the bodies of Shen Tang, Shen Li, Xiao Jin, and Lu Xiao.
Shen Tang immediately felt an incredibly strong power fill her body, rushing wildly inside, the limbs and bones felt as if exploding, the pain was excruciating!
Her face instantly turned pale, her beautiful features twisted and wrinkled, appearing unbearably.
However, simultaneously, the strong and surging power rushed through her meridians, allowing her to faintly glimpse the doorway to a breakthrough.
Through all these long times, she had stagnated at the Peak of Primordial Beast Tier, perhaps never able to break through in her lifetime—that moment finally dispersed the clouds and saw it!
Powerful like rolling rivers, the great power condensed into a Dawn Blade, fiercely striking the door.
"Ugh—"
All of a sudden, as if her soul and body were violently torn apart, excruciating pain overwhelmed her!
Shen Tang seemed as if she walked through Hell, going through life and death, a more ferocious force surged again! Filling her whole body!
But this time, the force no longer raged, instead, it became incredibly docile.
A gentle green light appeared all around her, swiftly healing the damaged meridians.
𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Her body seemed as if undergoing a transformation, perfectly containing all this power and thoroughly refining it into her own power.
Shen Tang slowly opened her eyes, exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, the clear and beautiful eyes seemed to flash with even more brilliant brilliance, her appearance became even more exquisite and radiant, the aura around her became nobler and stronger, making it unbearable to look straight at her.
Her senses also improved exponentially, she didn’t even need to use spiritual power to hear movements hundreds of meters away.
This feeling... it’s simply fantastic!
It was as if she was reborn!
She officially broke through to, Breaking Yuan Rank!
At the same time, Shen Li, Xiao Jin, Lu Xiao also achieved varying degrees of enhancement, the power within surged a large portion, the aura around them became thick and strong, reaching the late stage of Elemental Breakthrough Realm!
This is... the power of the Blood Clan?!
The Beast Husband(s) were extremely stunned too.
