Chapter 764: Concealing Presence (Part 2)
"During this period, I deliberately released the powerful aura of my Dragon Scale... On one hand, I wanted to assert my authority to the disciples of the Five Great Divine Palaces; on the other hand, wasn't it also to let you sense it? You left this item with me, telling me that when my strength was sufficient to make the Mandala Flower bloom... I would have a chance to see you. But now, the flower has bloomed, where are you?"
"Up to now, there has been no clue about you... Recently, I've been growing increasingly anxious... This anxiety compels me to conceal the aura of the Dragon Scale... If you're truly watching me from some corner, please, come out soon..."
Saying so,
Fang Yu raised his hand.
A stream of Primordial Qi slowly emerged from his palm.
"Concealing Breath Technique!"
Like a streak of flowing light, it enveloped Fang Yu's entire body.
Then, circulating several times around the Dragon Scale in his hand, it vanished completely.
At this moment, the Dragon Scale looked just like an ordinary object, truly nothing conspicuous about it.
Fang Yu's concealment of the aura.
Ye Wenjun, who was in another room, also suddenly sensed that the aura of the Phoenix Ancient Jade was hidden.
Ye Wenjun was wondering,
Knock knock—
The sound of knocking.
"Come in!"
With a creak,
Fang Yu pushed the door and walked in.
With a sly look on his face.
"Wife, I don't know if you heard the sound of a mouse just now."
"A mouse?" Ye Wenjun asked with confusion.
"Yes... The servants have been so lazy recently. I even noticed your room was a bit dirty during the day... I heard some squeaking noises just now and I suspect a mouse might have come in," Fang Yu whispered.
Ye Wenjun gave Fang Yu a complex look.
Though she had been engaged in Cultivation these past few days, and indeed no servants had cleaned her room, it was unlikely that there were any mice.
Moreover, she was now a bona fide Cultivator with a strength comparable to someone in the Constant Sand Realm at the Saint level; should she still be afraid of a mouse?
"There shouldn't be any mice here, right?" Ye Wenjun said.
"Impossible... I trust my ears, there must be a mouse. Listen carefully... squeak, squeak... I'll look around for it..." Fang Yu said as he searched around Ye Wenjun.
Ye Wenjun frowned slightly and said, "I think you are the mouse."
"Hey... Wife, what are you talking about? I came over on purpose because I was afraid a little girl like you would be scared. It's all good intentions taken for donkey's liver and lungs," Fang Yu rolled his eyes.
"I'm fine."
"You are fine, but I suggest you chat more with me, come over to my room, and not always be cultivating alone. This way, I feel a lot of pressure... Cultivating too fast, later when I go out and tell people, my Cultivation is not as high as my wife's, that's very embarrassing."
"That has nothing to do with me," Ye Wenjun said.
"..."
Fang Yu saw her reluctance to chat.
He then said, "Let's talk about something serious... That day, after you accepted the baptism from the Divine Statue and succeeded. The entire Fu Xi Imperial City was stunned... Later I asked her... The red light that appeared on you is the bloodline of the True Phoenix Clan."
"The True Phoenix Clan?" Ye Wenjun couldn't help feeling surprised.
"Yes. The reason I didn't mention this to you before was that I feared you would overthink it. But recent events have made it necessary to clarify things to you," Fang Yu said indifferently.
"Okay. Go on," Ye Wenjun nodded.
Fang Yu walked over to Ye Wenjun's bedside, boldly sat down, crossed his legs comfortably, and said:
"Truth be told, I suspect my mother knows about you having the True Phoenix Bloodline. The so-called True Phoenix Bloodline... it's a long story. Wife, could you pour me a glass of water? I'm thirsty, and it's going to be a long talk... If there's no water, saliva will have to do..."
"..." Ye Wenjun frowned slightly, "There is no water."
"Ah... Don't be so unloving."
"Are you going to talk or not?"
"Of course I'll talk."
Fang Yu coughed and continued, "Fu Xi gave me some information a few days ago, I did some research and found that the True Phoenix Bloodline originates from the True Phoenix Clan. That is to say, you are a descendant of the True Phoenix Clan... with approximately eight thousand years of history."
"Eight thousand years?" Ye Wenjun frowned slightly, "The history of Huaxia Civilization is only about five thousand years, are you sure you aren't joking?"
"No joke... The eight thousand years I'm talking about are the years counted by Cultivators. Even according to current scientific data, humans have been around for three million years... Also, how can modern science explain these things?"
This left Ye Wenjun speechless.
Yes. There is much modern science cannot explain.
Fang Yu smiled and said, "The True Phoenix Clan was born eight thousand years ago and reached its glory six thousand years ago. It could be said that they ruled over half the world. And the half of the world back then was no small feat, not like now... At that time, Huaxia was not called Huaxia, but Yanhuang Land. At that time, there were numerous races, many powerful beings, with Heavenly Rank beings everywhere. It could be said to be the most brilliant era of Spiritual Energy, even the fishes in the water could be bigger than humans. A pure world of Cultivators, everyone embracing Cultivation, everyone a strong being... Later, as Spiritual Energy began to wane, the clans merged, and the True Phoenix Clan gradually weakened until, in a great battle for Cultivation, the True Phoenix Clan bizarrely vanished... After that, no one heard of the True Phoenix Clan again. There are no historical records of them either."
Hearing this,
Ye Wenjun nodded and said, "You suspect that my Ye Family is a descendant of the True Phoenix Clan?"
"Correct. The True Phoenix Bloodline does not lie. The True Phoenix Blood is one of the most respected bloodlines in this world. Thinking back, I understand why you are a natural Cultivator, why your speed of Cultivation is many times faster than others," Fang Yu said.
"Then what about my father, grandfather, and Ye Xingchen, why is their speed of Cultivation so slow?" Ye Wenjun was puzzled.
"That's a question for your father... Your bloodline originates from your mother..." Fang Yu said.
Ye Wenjun: "..."
"And the coincidence is... your father's surname is Ye... Your True Phoenix Clan also has the surname Ye!" Fang Yu said squinting his eyes.
Ye Wenjun was startled.
Fang Yu laughed heartily, "Who would have expected my wife to be a descendant of the True Phoenix Clan... I've really hit the jackpot. My mother must have known early on that you are a descendant of the True Phoenix Clan, that's why she left the Phoenix Ancient Jade, and it coincidentally aligned with your Ye Family's marriage proposal, to unite dragon and phoenix! My mother is truly wise! Before... I always felt following your Ye Family was like living off a woman, but at least I could contribute. Now it seems, when I meet the True Phoenix Clan in the future, I could actually hang onto a big leg!"
"..."
"Honestly, the True Phoenix Clan was extremely powerful in history. I have a premonition... The reason why the True Phoenix Clan suddenly disappeared is because... they fell into the Secret Realm!"
