Chapter 360: Bloodline Of the Vermilion Bird (2/2)

Xue Wei was aware that it was impossible to have a mixed bloodline the last couple of thousands of years, but perhaps he had a diverse bloodline from earlier than that?

Could it be that he had a very weak trait of the Vermilion Bird bloodline, and because this drop of blood came from a diety, it was able to awaken the dormant energy within his bloodline?

Unsure of what exactly had happened, Xue Wei could find no other reason for a Vermilion Bird Spirit to appear in his dantian, but he was quite happy with the rewards.

Although he had initially planned on using this drop of blood to exchange for the Thunder Flame Crown, he now felt that this was a much better result. Not only had he gained immense upgrade in his strength, but he had also acquired another bloodline.

Could he perhaps even transform into a vermilion bird?

When this thought struck him, Xue Wei instantly tried to transform, and the temperature in the surrounding area turned hotter, as Xue Wei saw feathers sprout on his arms, vermilion feathers as he grew larger. His arms turned to wings, his feet to talons.

He had actually transformed into a Vermilion Bird!

Xue Wei was shocked and unable to maintain the beastly shape fo long, before he turned back to a human being, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He was actually two sovereign beasts at once! How was this possible?!

Then a thought suddenly landed in his mind, what if this had something to do with the Holy Maiden they had mentioned before?

Was it possible that they knew something that he himself was unaware of?

Suddenly he was reminded of Chu Huiyin. When she was not completely mad from her insanity, she had left some clues. She and the others wanted to use his blood for some reason.

His eyes suddenly widened. His blood. Right. He had managed to mutate Hei Gou's bloodline with his blood.

He thought that this was an ability any Sovereign Beasts would have, but upon closer consideration, he knew that that was not the case.

An ordinary Sovereign Beast would not be able to mutate the bloodline of a Primordial Beast. If they could, he would have noticed it back at the Demon Phoenix Continent.

There were many primordial beasts in the Demon Phoenix Continent, but they were not mutated. With so many Sovereign Beasts around, if they had this ability, then they would use it to bind the primordial beasts to their side in exchange for a bloodline mutation.

Understanding this, Xue Wei frowned. The further into the travels he came, the less he seemed to know himself.

First, he had been convinced that he was human. Then he thought himself to be a Primordial Beasts. When he finally found out that he was an Azure Dragon, he was sure that he had figured out his identity, but now it had once more been turned upside down.

He was neither a complete Azure Dragon nor a Vermilion Bird; he was both at the same time.

Xue Wei said nothing as he rested his head in his hands, and he was deep in thought.

It seemed that there was some secret behind his origins. At the current point in time, he could not help but question everything he knew.

What was his relationship with Xiao Lei? What was his relationship with his father? Who was his father? What was his father? Where was his mother? Who was she? What was she?

So many questions erupted at once, causing Xue Wei to become dazed and dizzy.

Knowing that he was an Azure Dragon had already made him question his relationship with his father. He was a human, so how could he possibly be his birth father?

But he had none the less grown up with this man and held affection for him, so seeing him brutally killed by Xiao Lei had left a bitter taste in his mouth.

Yet now he understood that Xiao Lei was likely the only one who could answer the questions he had about his origin.

Initially, he had planned to find Xiao Lei and ask him about the murder of his father, but he had not dared to do so; he had been scared of what he might find out from the conversation.

Now things were completely different, however. He was in need of understanding himself, but he had no idea where to begin. The only solution he had was to talk with Xiao Lei, but he could not do so right now.

Realizing this, Xue Wei sighed. This was a tricky situation, but he understood that he could not do anything about it and had no other option than to accept whatever life brought him for now.

Reaching this conclusion, Xue Wei could not help but feel both relieved and depressed at the same time.

He looked into the ceiling of the room before he slowly stood up and dusted off his clothes before he turned back to the door leading out of the chamber.

When he did, things did not look as he had expected. Luoluo, Bai Tianyi, Hei Gou, and Lin Xiao were all waiting outside the room eager to see whether or not Xue Wei had succeeded.

The first thing he saw when he opened the door was their faces filled with admiration and curiosity.

”Did you get it?” Lin Xiao asked curiously, but Bai Tianyi just snorted. ”I already said he had gotten it! I could feel some insane changes happening to him through our soul connection, but you still ask!”

”It is better if he tells us himself!” Lin Xiao continued and pouted slightly, causing Xue Wei to be filled with happiness. Having such good friends was truly rare.
