CHAPTER 1257: CHAPTER 1255: SIMILAR QI (4TH UPDATE)

"However, the rules of Yanxu Palace don’t seem to apply to me!" Su Chen sneered slightly.

If he wanted, he could have killed Bei Buxiu within Yanxu Palace, so what? At worst, he would just leave Yanxu Palace.

Originally, he hadn’t planned to stay in Yanxu Palace for long; participating in the assessment was merely to enter Yanxu Palace and then kill Yaun Tianyan.

Of course, killing Yaun Tianyan was still the most crucial thing, and he couldn’t expose himself early because of Bei Buxiu.

"Let you live a few more days, and once the opportunity to kill Yaun Tianyan arises, I’ll crush you together." Su Chen had already made up his mind.

Lan Dingtian thought for a moment and added, "Don’t forget, after entering Yanxu Palace, new students shouldn’t provoke the senior students. The older students in Yanxu Palace typically have fiery tempers and love bullying newcomers."

As Lan Dingtian spoke, there seemed to be a trace of schadenfreude in his words.

"Finally, congratulations to the new students who successfully entered Yanxu Palace; a beautiful future awaits you. For those who didn’t pass the assessment, don’t be discouraged; there’s always another chance. Now, those who succeeded in the assessment, follow this direction, and soon you’ll see the gates of Yanxu Palace. After entering Yanxu Palace, the first place you should go is the Ordinary Affairs Pavilion to receive your Human Palace attire or Xuan Palace attire."

As Lan Dingtian spoke, he waved his hand: "You may all go."

After speaking, Lan Dingtian’s gaze fell upon Su Chen: "Su Chen, come with me."

Originally, Su Chen had planned to follow the crowd, but surprisingly, Lan Dingtian singled him out.

Su Chen didn’t say anything, glanced at Lan Dingtian, and quietly walked towards him.

The other examinees looked at Su Chen with envy, awe, and fear, and no one dared to question anything.

It was normal for Su Chen to be summoned personally by the sect master; if he hadn’t been, that would have been strange.

"Follow me." Su Chen walked to Lan Dingtian’s side, and Lan Dingtian spoke solemnly.

Under Lan Dingtian’s lead, Su Chen headed towards the depths of Yanxu Forest.

Along the way, Lan Dingtian remained silent.

Su Chen also remained silent.

Approximately the time it takes for an incense stick to burn later.

Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and in front of him stood a hut made of straw.

"Su Chen, go inside." Lan Dingtian pointed to the straw hut, while he himself stood outside with a slightly respectful and helpless demeanor.

Su Chen still didn’t ask anything, but pushed the door open and walked inside.

Inside the straw hut, it was extremely simple, excessively simple, with only a grass mat bed and nothing else; not even stools or chairs.

On the simple grass mat bed sat a very, very old man. He had his eyes open, but only his pupils were visible, as his face was withered and old, and his entirely white eyes were somewhat startling and frightening.

"Sit down." The old man raised his hand, gesturing an invitation.

At that moment.

"Young boy, this old man is very powerful!!!"

"Young boy Su, be careful, the other person is extremely strong."

......

Jiuyou and Old Dragon almost spoke simultaneously.

Su Chen took a deep breath, instantly becoming alert, before sitting down.

"Once, I met a woman with the same physique as you." As soon as the old man spoke, Su Chen’s emotions surged, even causing him to lose his composure a little.

"Senior, you... you... know my physique?" Su Chen’s breath quickened.

"The moment you appeared in Yanxu Forest, I noticed you. In my life, I’ve encountered countless people; endless time flows, and I don’t know how long I’ve lived. I’ve seen pure-blooded True Dragons and True Phoenixes from the Origin Era. I’ve also witnessed the decline of Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth, and observed the Divine Demon Clan’s rampant trampling of the Myriad Realms. Among those I’ve met, the person who left the deepest impression on me was that woman, possessing an extremely special bloodline." The old man with entirely white eyes spoke quietly: "The aura on that woman has a few similarities with yours."

"What?" Su Chen held his breath completely, a similar bloodline, a similar aura; could it be his own relative?

"That woman’s strength was exceptionally strong." The old man continued: "Strong enough to control reincarnation herself."

"Control reincarnation herself?" Su Chen didn’t quite understand.

"Strong enough to easily absorb Chaos Power within Absolute Space." The old man with entirely white eyes continued: "Strong enough that a single word from her enlightened me, allowing me to break through a Great Realm."

Gulp.

Su Chen swallowed hard.

Somewhat dumbstruck, could what this old man said be true? Could someone really be that powerful? And that he might have a deep connection with this woman?

"The greatest honor of my life was meeting her, and she was in a good mood and gave me an opportunity." The old man with entirely white eyes continued: "You are connected to her. I’m certain. Therefore, I want to offer you an opportunity, as my gratitude and appreciation to her."

"Senior, the woman you speak of, how old is she? What does she look like? Where does she come from? What’s her name?" Su Chen asked anxiously.

"I don’t know her age because she can control reincarnation, so age holds no meaning for her. She can be one year old or a billion years old. As for her appearance? I can’t see, she is like the moon hanging in the heavens, too dazzling and blinding; I didn’t have the ability to see her clearly. As for where she comes from? I don’t know, nor would I dare to ask. And her name, I equally dared not inquire."

Su Chen was speechless, almost knowing nothing.

"What do you know then? And what’s this opportunity you want to offer me?" Su Chen asked with a bitter smile.

"The only thing I know about her is the opportunity I’m giving you." On the withered face of the old man with entirely white eyes appeared an expression of surging, devotion, and trembling terror, as he spoke word by word: "She once said a sentence!!!"

"What sentence?" Su Chen asked eagerly.

"My bloodline is finally awakening." The old man’s entirely white eyes seemed to become dazzling, as he uttered each word.

Su Chen trembled all over.

Stunned.

As if struck by a thunderbolt.

Trembling as if convulsing.

Awakening?!

His own bloodline, his true bloodline, that extremely unique bloodline, could awaken? And clearly, he hadn’t awakened yet.

"I haven’t truly awakened my bloodline, have I?" Su Chen asked uncertainly.

"No, you haven’t awakened. The aura of that woman before she awakened her bloodline had some similarities to yours now, of course, your aura falls far short of hers, like the difference between a stream and the sea. When she was about to awaken her bloodline, she left. I regret not being able to feel her aura after awakening; I doubt I would have qualified, otherwise, a mere aura could crush me."

"How can I awaken my bloodline?" Su Chen gritted his teeth, asking. He absolutely had to awaken his bloodline, absolutely!!! First, apparently, awakening his bloodline would suddenly make him much stronger, second, awakening the bloodline might give him some understanding of his origins.

"I don’t know." The old man with entirely white eyes shook his head.

Su Chen fell silent, even though he had expected that the other person wouldn’t know, hearing him say ’I don’t know’ still carried a sense of disappointment.
