Chapter 926: Blood Pond

The matrons were shocked after hearing this because very few were aware of this secret, yet Li Qiye was about to spill it so easily. They couldn’t help but take a more careful look at him; they no longer dared to look down on him. This brat knew too many things and would flaunt his knowledge in such an astonis.h.i.+ng fas.h.i.+on.

“Really now, maybe you and your primal ground will ask for my help. After I become the Blood Forefather, I will gladly lend you a hand.” Li Qiye was as relaxed as always: “Of course, although I am a nice person, I still wouldn’t offer my a.s.sistance for free, even if we are family. I have to charge something because if I provide my service for free, others would start asking and my legs would break from all the running.”

At this time, the four matrons were no longer willing to test Li Qiye because some secrets couldn’t be discussed carelessly.

They, along with the experts, carried Li Qiye to the blood pond. Recently, this period of time was very different for the primal ground, so it had no outsiders. The entire location was closed off and all wors.h.i.+p was suspended.

The blood pond was a very important location to the primal ground. Legend states that the Sky Dome was the skull of the progenitor while the blood pond was his ocean of blood. Inside were many secrets of the Blood Race.

For millions of years, the primal ground and the entire race had wanted to obtain something from this pool of blood. However, across the generations, although many disciples were baptized and they obtained quite a few things, they still couldn’t obtain the legendary item.

The baptism was very popular and many disciples willingly partic.i.p.ated, especially those with humble backgrounds. The cultivators from weaker backgrounds would become great after receiving the blessing as well as the baptism. They could then choose to stay at the primal ground or join the imperial lineages of the Blood Race.

These imperial lineages would be happy to accept such disciples due to their unlimited potential. Thus, this was a great opportunity for lowly cultivators; it was akin to a carp jumping over the dragon gate!

Of course, a few geniuses had experienced the baptism as well because they wanted to prove themselves. After the ceremony, not only did they get amazing treasures and heaven-shattering creations, they also managed to prove that they were the heavens’ proud children, those that were accepted by the progenitor.

The dual ceremonies had a great significance for the tribe. It showed that the person’s bloodline was extremely n.o.ble!

The blood pond was located in a dark region. It was a heavily guarded old palace. Outsiders simply couldn’t enter.

“A human?” After Li Qiye was carried into the palace, a hoa.r.s.e voice came about from within the darkness as if they were very surprised by this development.

Each baptism was presided over by some ancestors from the primal ground from the dark because they wanted to see how talented the disciples were, as well as what creations they would obtain. If the disciples were amazing, then the primal ground would hold them back for training.

Until now, only the Blood Race was able to exit the Sky Dome, so others could only dream about partic.i.p.ating in a blood baptism. For the primal ground as well as the entire race, the baptism was too important so it should naturally only belong to their Blood disciples.

But now, a human came out of nowhere. How could the ancestors running the baptism not be taken aback?

“A human, is this possible?” Another old voice appeared. He was suspicious of this matter as well.

This was not to say that there were no humans in the primal ground or the other sects of the Blood Race. In fact, many sects, including even imperial lineages, had human disciples. Some human disciples held power as well.

But this was different when it came to the two ceremonies. This was an internal affair of the Blood Race. The appearance of a human was too sudden.

“He is the only survivor from the Sky Dome this time. He said he received the blessing from the progenitor.” The Summer Matron spoke.

“Words are not sufficient in this case.” An ancestor pondered in the darkness before speaking.

Li Qiye looked into the darkness and smiled: “It seems like this time is special, so many old geezers have come out from your primal ground.”

“Junior, do not be disrespectful.” A different voice emerged from the darkness.

Li Qiye laughed: “I am not being disrespectful. I am only curious as to what is different this time around. The four matrons themselves are taking the lead and so many geezers are overseeing the blood baptism. It seems that your pool has changed.” With that, he walked towards the blood pond.

The blood pond was located in the center of the palace. It was not large and resembled a typical looking pond. In this dark palace, it emitted waves of light.
