Supernatural Insight Eyes

The Dugu clansmen living in this small world weren’t few, numbering around three hundred. Excluding some elderlies and children, young Dugu members amounted to over thirty, among whom quite a few with decent talent had awakened their Bloodline Power, numbering up to five.

Ye Qiu studied them, as they examined Ye Qiu in return.

His arrival caused a stir among the Dugu clan within the small world, as they had heard of Ye Qiu, especially since Ye Qiu hailed from Earth and inherited Ge Tian’s legacy. Many powerful sect experts on the ancestral land couldn’t deal with Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu recognized a slightly familiar face; it was the young man he had encountered that day with Lei Yi, facing the Emperor Fifteen.

Now, the young man seemed much more mature than before, growing quickly in a short amount of time.

Subsequently, Ye Qiu released the ten rescued members of the Dugu clan through the Taihuang Bell. Seeing new blood injected, the surrounding Dugu clan was very happy, signifying a further strengthening of the reunited Dugu clan’s power.

The matter of the young boy, Lei Yi said, needed to be discussed with an elder of the highest age and seniority within the Dugu clan.

Decisions of life and death awaited the elder’s meeting before settling.

Before long, an elder appeared slowly, walking with a cane, leisurely arriving before Ye Qiu.

According to Lei Yi, this elder was the oldest in the Dugu clan—a figure present since the beginning of this small world’s existence.

Most importantly, the elder was the brother of the power that created this small world.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu was filled with respect. To have the strength to create a small world was definitely worthy of Ye Qiu’s respect. Although it wasn’t the elder himself, he was the brother of the power that created here, deserving of respect.

This was indeed a small world—a small enclosed space, but not one easily created; at least, those at the Universal level didn’t possess the capability.

With this small world, the remaining Dugu clan members could continue surviving. Otherwise, in the vastness of the heavens, they would have had nowhere to call home, with the universe overrun by Tian Gong’s strength, the Dugu clan would have long been exterminated.

"You from Earth?" The elder glared at Ye Qiu with eyes bright as lamps, gaze steady, fixing on Ye Qiu.

"Yes, I am from Earth," Ye Qiu answered humbly, despite his not insignificant current strength. He knew the elder was an ancestor by seniority.

"Good, good, good. I thought I’d never see my third brother’s descendants ever again; you are exceptional," the elder responded.

"The third brother you mentioned was from the Dugu clan that entered Earth back then?" Ye Qiu asked.

Ye Qiu’s question led the elder into reminiscence, murmuring, "Back then, during emergency times, only a few escaped: elder brother, me, third brother, fifth brother, sixth brother... unfortunately, the Emperor clan pursued us closely, and fifth and sixth brothers didn’t survive."

"Elder brother and I fled here, creating the small world to temporarily hide; third brother’s whereabouts unknown. Only until recent years did I hear of the Dugu clan on Earth, which should be third brother’s descendants," the elder explained.

The elder knew more than Lei Yi, and Ye Qiu took this opportunity to pose successive queries, hoping for answers.

Conversing with the elder took a full day, and those nearby wisely gave them space.

After ending talks, it was twilight, Ye Qiu arrived at an empty room.

About the boy’s issue, the elder said he’d resolve it, allowing the boy to gradually return to normal.

Ye Qiu merely reminded the elder that the boy might attract Tian Gong.

The elder assured Ye Qiu not to worry, saying he had ways. With such certainty, Ye Qiu set aside concern, trusting the elder wouldn’t speak carelessly without cause, as exposure would be unfavorable.

With the boy’s matter handled, Ye Qiu could rest peacefully. As for the other nine Dugu members, they had been sent by Lei Yi to a special place to aid in recovery.

The night was serene, the sky dangling a white moon as if reverting to the ancient land.

Yet Ye Qiu knew this was but illusion; the ancient land was no more.

The small world wasn’t invincible, capable of destruction if the power was ample.

However, this small world here was presumably sturdier than the ancient one.

Today’s happenings were truly manifold—rescue, meeting Lei Yi, arriving here—all surprising Ye Qiu.

Zhuang Miao Shan knew Ye Qiu had learned much about the Dugu clan from the elder, refrained from disturbing Ye Qiu, and upon returning to his room, meditated for cultivation.

Ye Qiu found the elder’s words more believable than Lei Yi’s, offering deeper insight into the once glorious Dugu clan and eliciting profound awe of Tian Gong.

Driving the current Dugu clan to stay hidden, illustrates Tian Gong’s dreadfulness.

Although the elder was frail, Ye Qiu felt that his power wasn’t simple, far surpassing the Universal level, and such beings couldn’t contend against Tian Gong, which showed its evident strength.

"The Heavenly Emperor isn’t Tian Gong’s mightiest; several former Heavenly Emperors still live," Ye Qiu murmured, shadows clouding his heart. Despite overestimating Tian Gong, after hearing the elder’s words, Ye Qiu felt he’d underestimated it.

Tian Gong is far more fearsome than it seems.

According to the elder, Tian Gong had long plotted the Dugu clan’s extermination, and to have slain so many strong ones then was frightening power.

It could be said, the Tian Gong Emperor clan was the disaster Dugu brought upon itself from nurturing tigers.

Although many years have passed, those invincible beings of the past perhaps remain alive, their strength possibly even scarier.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu comprehended why the elder remained here, never daring ventured, as Tian Gong’s strength could still crush any current Dugu clan.

Upon learning Dugu’s present dire situation, Ye Qiu didn’t wallow in worry, promptly accepting reality.

Endless worry solves nothing.

A flash in his eyes, Ye Qiu’s mind recalled the elder’s insights into Bloodline Power.

Bloodline Power was the ancestral term; more precisely, Tian Gong’s term.

Ye Qiu nonetheless regarded it as Blackening.

Since attaining the Supreme Saint status, Blackening for Ye Qiu had become useless, unable to elevate his realm further.

Otherwise, Ye Qiu wouldn’t have needed the demon physique, escalating himself to the Universal tier to solve everything.

"Bloodline Power has its limitations. To continue utilizing Blackening, overcoming stronger foes, I must break through its boundary first," Ye Qiu stated.

Breaking through boundaries, simply put, involved allowing one’s blood to more embrace ancestral origin, nearing the ancestor’s qualities.
