Chapter 926: Blood Pond (2/2)
There was liquid flowing inside. However, on a closer examination, it was not a liquid but more like moving flames that resemble blood.
It was spewing out something that had the features of blood and fire, giving off an indescribable sensation as if it was from the deepest parts of the earth. If, say, the earth had blood, then the thing flowing from the pool was the blood of this earth.
What was even more extraordinary was that this fiery blood was reversing space and time. In the middle of it all was something that resembled a mirror. To be more exact, it was a portal that led to a different world, or at least that was the illusion it gave off.
“So this is the case. No wonder all of you are placing so much emphasis on the baptism this time.” Li Qiye looked at the pool of blood and murmured: “Fiery blood resembling a mirror… this is a special sign. According to the legends, this has only happened once before!”
The ancestors in the darkness were silent. This brat was too much to handle. In this place, even the most incomparable geniuses and their ancestors would be very deferential in the presence of this blood pool. However, this brat didn’t seem to care at all.
“Junior, don’t say crazy things…” An ancestor raised his voice in the dark. This was a stern warning.
Li Qiye gently waved his sleeve dismissively: “Okay, don’t try to trick me, I am someone who has read a lot. Even the four matrons cannot fool me, let alone other people. I remember that this has been written down before in the ancient records, a scene of fiery blood forming a mirror in the blood pond!”
With that, his eyes shifted towards the four matrons as he slowly spoke: “It went on to say that the changes in the blood pond that time had something to do with the four matrons in the legends!”
“What else was recorded in your book?” The Winter Matron’s eyes were fierce at this moment. She stared at Li Qiye with animosity.
In fact, she wasn’t the only one. The other three matrons were also glaring at him. Without a doubt, the four matrons were very sensitive about what happened in the past.
“No, that’s all. It doesn’t mention what happened exactly. It seems like the wise sage who wrote the scroll didn’t know either.” Li Qiye shook his head.
The four matrons glared at him, aiming to find some clues from his demeanor. However, they couldn’t notice anything and could only scowl.
An ancestor in the darkness inquired with a serious tone: “Who is this kid?”
No one, not even the four matrons could answer this question because no one knew how Li Qiye got into the Sky Dome.
Li Qiye shook his head and said: “Who I am is not important, wouldn’t you say? The important part is my baptism right now.”
“Kid, you know this is the blood pond, but you are a human.” A different ancestor reminded him.
The person was not malicious, he only wanted to remind Li Qiye.
Li Qiye smiled in response: “If I am not mistaken, there are no rules forbidding humans from participating in the blood pond in your primal ground!”
The ancestors in the darkness pondered for a bit. An ancestor eventually responded: “Although there are no rules about it, the baptism’s guidelines are up for our primal ground to decide!”
“I know.” Li Qiye added: “However, have you thought about this possibility? Why is it that after millions of years of baptisms, after millions of years of receiving blessings, your primal ground has yet to produce a Blood Forefather? How your progenitor didn’t pass his lineage down to a Blood disciple? Or maybe this is the reason why your primal ground does not want to have other races involved.”
An ancestor thunderously shouted: “Preposterous!”
Li Qiye only smiled in response: “How could you know without trying at all? Only a baptism will show whether I am speaking the truth or not.”
“So, you think you can become the Blood Forefather?” Another ancestor coldly uttered.
A human coming out of nowhere completely disrupted the expectations of the ancestors. They thought that an extraordinary Blood disciple would come out of the Sky Dome and would receive the supreme blessing.
