Chapter 200 – Heritage (2/2)
Supreme Yu Palace was the Drakehead’s core, being in the sacred halls meant that Ye Wei’s Qi flow was sped up more than a hundred times its normal speed. However, the source of the freezing energy that could turn even Ye Wei to a piece of solid ice if it was not for Helian Jieyuan’s aid.
Three days had passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Wei finally woke up after the lotus’ toxicity was completely digested by the power in his blood.
“My body…” Ye Wei gently clenched his fist, the energetic strength woke him up.
“What happened to me!?” He exclaimed in disbelief. Not only was he prepared to die for the city, he was certain that his life actually ended when he lost consciousness.
Ye Wei froze in confusion, his mind was absolutely blank.
“Kid, are you awake or still dreaming?” Helian Jieyuan stood up and walked towards Ye Wei with a smile on his face.
“That’s it! It was you!” The royal Grand Elder was the missing centerpiece of Ye Wei’s memory, the young Runemaster had a sudden moment of clarity. “You appeared out of nowhere right before the explosion!”
Ye Wei looked gratefully at Helian Jieyuan and thought, ‘You saved my life, healed my injuries and strengthened my body…’
“I owe you too much!” Ye Wei went on his knees and thankfully nodded. “I will dedicate my life to the Helians. If you need me to do anything just let me know and I will get it done or die trying!”
“Kid, you can take that back for now. I stopped the lotus exploding, but I did not stop the lotus from killing you.” Helian Jieyuan said laughingly. “Don’t just thank me for you being alive. You lived and your body strengthened to one-star returned prime level because of the Supreme blood in you.”
The royal wore a cryptic smile on his face, amused by how confused and clueless Ye Wei actually was.
“Supreme blood?” Ye Wei did not get much out of Helian Jieyuan’s vague words, he therefore closed his eyes, channeled his will-force to investigate his body’s state.
The young Runemaster could feel the small, powerful portion of his blood was resting in his Sentient, and that quite a large sum of runes were detaching from the pool of golden fluid.
The runes Ye Wei could feel were separated from the Supreme blood during the healing process, after absorbing the toxins.
‘I have always suspected there is a stance somewhere in those ten thousand runes in that little pool of blood…’ Ye Wei closed his eyes and felt the connection between the loose runes, ‘I can already see how my theory can be true!’
‘Supreme Ye Yu must have left the runes in his blood so the Ye’s could someday rediscover it!’ The young Runemaster felt euphoric, like a child who figured out how to run for the first time in his life. ‘It can’t be just any stance if it’s hidden so well…’
“That doesn’t make me any less grateful! I would have been killed if you didn’t intervene!” Ye Wei looked at Helian Jieyuan right in the eyes and said.
The Grand Elder smiled and nodded, greatly appreciated Ye Wei’s humbleness and modesty at such young age.
“Sir, I can feel a powerful stance in my blood. Would you mind watching over me in case my Qi flow gets out of control?”
“Of course.” Helian Jieyuan nodded and sat down to cultivate, filling the room with his will-force so he could monitor Ye Wei while focused on his own training.
Ye Wei also crossed his legs and sat down to study the runes further.
“This is a spectacular body enhancement stance!” the young Runemaster’s will-force was soon able to rearrange the runes in his blood into a more refined structure.
To become a sage, one must transcend their life energy to a higher level through a Heaven stance they created, the failure of the Supreme transcendence will cause the cultivator’s soul to slowly disintegrate in the course of ten years.
The Eternal Star was a Sky stance created by Supreme Ye Yu for the transcendence, after the failure he spent the rest of his life to infuse the runes of the stance to his eldest son’s blood.
