Chapter 794 - 786: Attaining the Dao (First Update)
Su Muyao looked at Mao Xize’s forehead totem imprint. It was a peculiar black totem that made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
A faint black aura was emanating from it.
Su Muyao was startled, "Is it because of this that their power can’t be improved?"
Su Muyao opened her eyes wide, carefully looking, always feeling that Mao Xize’s forehead imprint contained Demonic Qi.
She wondered if it was just her illusion.
Yue Wuhen said softly, "It should be like that."
"Don’t you feel there is Demonic Qi on it?"
Speaking of Demonic Qi, Su Muyao naturally thought of Xie Guixue.
After Xie Guixue’s image flashed in her mind, Su Muyao shook her head vigorously, trying not to think about him.
He calmed down and looked at Mao Xize, "Don’t you feel anything yourself?"
Mao Xize thought for a moment, "I only know that as my power increases, a black aura will emerge. But because I don’t know what’s inside my body, my power is suppressed, and the black aura seems suppressed as well."
"Is this an imprint? The words left by the exiled ancestor said it was a protective thing."
Shen Ci’an looked carefully at the totem of the imprint, "Why does it feel like the totem in the circle is somewhat similar to the Holy Tree of my Holy Mountain?"
Although similar, it was different.
Sudden light flashed in Teng Lixuan’s mind, but it was too fast to grasp.
Su Muyao also felt the center of the imprint was a tree.
Mei Qingchen said, "It seems to be sealing Demonic Qi."
Su Muyao’s expression changed, "Why seal Demonic Qi? Could it be that when his cultivation improves, the Demonic Qi will also grow?"
Thinking of this, Su Muyao’s gaze deepened, her expression growing more serious.
She remembered that Xie Guixue only triggered Demonic Qi after a powerful boost in strength, eventually truly becoming a demon.
Yue Wuhen secretly used witch power to probe a bit, and said softly, "They have a portion of Demon Clan bloodline."
Shen Ci’an raised his slender and beautiful eyes, "If that’s the case, isn’t it from the Demon Realm?"
Thinking of the Demon Realm, Shen Ci’an’s enchanting crimson eyes revealed a touch of darkness, as if there were undercurrents surging inside.
He naturally knew Xie Guixue had returned to the Demon Realm, becoming indifferent and heartless.
Also aware that Xie Guixue eventually hurt Su Muyao’s heart.
Therefore, Shen Ci’an had no positive impression of anything related to Demonic Qi or Demon Clan bloodline.
Having the Demon Clan bloodline, awakening Bloodline Power would ultimately make them heartless.
Mention of the Demon Realm made Su Muyao’s expression change several times, her emotions once again surging like ocean waves.
She struggled to calm down, but often it wasn’t so easy.
Unless she took some Forget Love Pill.
But there was no such elixir in the world, and taking it would make one forget all emotions.
Seeing Su Muyao’s unpleasant expression, Yue Wuhen felt a little sorry, gently stroking her hair to comfort her, "Wife, I am here."
Just a simple sentence made Su Muyao feel an inexplicable urge to cry.
It touched and moved her.
If not for the presence of Cat Clan Beastmen around, she would have wanted to ignore everything and throw herself into Yue Wuhen’s arms.
Yes, fortunately, he was here now.
Along with Mei Qingchen and Shen Ci’an.
Unfortunately, Wen Nanxi and the others entered the Ascension Road, who knows how they are now.
She didn’t know why she kept reminiscing about the time in Beiluo Tribe.
Back then, everyone was together, lively and merry.
She hoped that one day, after saving the Beast World, everyone could still be together, lively and warm, and she wished to cook delicious food for everyone.
In snowy weather, everyone could gather to eat hotpot.
Mei Qingchen knew it’s inappropriate to mention the Demon Realm, causing the wife pain.
But some things still need to be clarified.
Mei Qingchen looked at Mao Xize, "Do you know about the Demon Realm?"
Mao Xize was completely baffled at this point, entirely ignorant of what the Demon Realm was, and knew nothing about Demon Clan bloodline.
He could not digest these messages at the time.
"Young master, do you mean I have a portion of Demon Clan bloodline?"
"But how is it possible? We are all Cat Beastmen."
"But it also doesn’t seem right. Sometimes when I practice hard, a little black aura indeed emerges, could that be Demonic Qi?"
"I always thought it was some pollution aura."
Mao Xize could hardly believe the words he heard, unable to digest these messages at once.
Mao Xize looked towards the Great Elder among the tribesmen.
"Great Elder, what... what’s going on here?"
This time they came to the Ten Thousand Treasures Collection, led by the Great Elder.
The Clan Leader stayed to guard the tribe.
Because being farthest, they lived in the place where pollution aura was most concentrated, and also due to Cat Clan Tribe’s lack of resources, other tribe beastmen were too lazy to deal with Cat Clan Beastmen.
The Great Elder sighed, "I don’t know much about it either, only that apparently, it’s because of the Demon Clan bloodline in this branch that we were exiled here."
"Nobody knows the specific reason."
The Great Elder shook his head.
Su Muyao asked, "Did you do anything wrong?"
The Great Elder shook his head, "Probably not."
"So why were they exiled just because of Demon Clan bloodline, and such an imprint was placed?"
The Great Elder thought and said, "I just heard my grandfather mention that Demon Clan bloodline means Beastmen would become ruthless, and it’s also associated with slaughter."
"Back then, the ancestor, as Cat Clan heir, had strong talent and power, but later was discovered to have Demon Clan bloodline, so they were exiled. The ancestor’s mother must have been a Demon Race Beastman."
"She hid it well and wasn’t discovered, but the ancestor, being heir then and powerful, inadvertently exposed Demonic Qi, thus discovered."
"But indeed no mistake was made, so the ancestors were not killed, just exiled here."
That branch was thus exiled.
But their Demon Clan aura was sealed, limiting their power.
Su Muyao murmured, "Will Demon Race Beastmen inevitably become heartless?"
"Is there no exception?"
The Great Elder said softly, "I don’t know, but probably no exception. I saw in an ancient books fragment that once Demon Blood and Demon Clan legacy power are awakened, past emotions become irrelevant, they instinctively pursue power, becoming indifferent and ruthless."
"Some even kill their wife to prove themselves on the Demon Path."
"Though this is content from ancient books fragments, we have never seen it ourselves and naturally don’t know."
Unbeknownst to them, hearing these words made Su Muyao’s expression change several times.
The Great Elder seemed to think of something and added, "Benefactor, don’t be afraid. We just have a portion of Demon Clan Blood Power, the impact should not be significant, only pure-blooded Demon Race Beastmen would be that heartless."
Su Muyao asked, "But if the father beast is not a Demon Race Beastman and the mother is a Demon Race Beastman, can one turn into a pure-blooded Demon Race Beastman?"
What Su Muyao said referred to Xie Guixue’s situation.
