Yun Bai had no idea what was happening, as there was no such information in the pedestal about its operation. It should have only sent out three lights, according to what was mentioned.
Ten lights were unusual and certainly strange.
~SHING~
The glassy stone on top of the pedestal started to shine bright and a humming sound came from it. The white light that was coming from it started to change color and soon turned into a darker and darker shade.
From white it became red, then yellow, then orange and continued going down the color scale until it reached a blue color. But it didn't stop there either and finally turned entirely black.
The black light coming from the glassy stone was eerie, and Bai Yun felt very uncomfortable. It was at this point that a few words were heard. They were spoken in Dao Script but could be heard by both Lin Wu and Yun Bai.
"Forbidden… Beast… Guardian…"
~KABOOM~
It seemed like more words wanted to be spoken, but before that could happen the Glassy stone exploded into smithereens. The fragments of the stone directly combusted in the air, leaving behind no ashes, dissipating into smoke.
Yun Bai's jaw dropped while Lin Wu watched on awkwardly. Tim was alert and a bit startled by the explosion, watching it with wary eyes. It was evident that it would attack if it perceived anymore threat.
"Umm…" Lin Wu didn't know what to say here. "Seems like it broke?"
~step~step~step~
Yun Bai walked towards the damaged Ten thousand bloodline pedestal and watched with a complicated expression. A few seconds passed before he finally shook his head.
~Sigh~
"I was expecting too much." Yun Bai spoke.
"Are you okay with that being destroyed?" Lin Wu asked cautiously.
"It was very old and probably had damage we could not sense. It probably did not manage to maintain its integrity when trying to scan you. Perhaps doing a difficult scan like that on Tim was already too much for it." Yun Bai replied.
"Hmm… that might be it." Lin Wu replied, thinking that it was plausible.
Though he still decided to ask the system, since it did have the data about the Ten Thousand Bloodline Pedestal. After all, the system had already finished scanning the pedestal before.
"Why did the Ten Thousand Bloodline Pedestal break, system?" Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The Ten Thousand Bloodline Pedestal could not handle the host's hundreds of bloodlines and reached a critical error. It works by checking the potential bloodlines present in the body of a beast by comparing it with a database.
It has certain limits in which it could compare them, since it would eliminate certain bloodlines if some other contractive bloodline is present. It would do so, since those two bloodlines would have a 0% chance of co-existing.
But in the case of the Host, there is the raw bloodline data stored within him, which was still picked up by the pedestal. Since most of the data from that part was complete, the pedestal picked them up as fully functional bloodlines.
This resulted in a critical error and the explosion of the scanner crystal.
——
'Huh… so I basically bricked its programming…' Lin Wu thought to himself.
Having understood this, Lin Wu reckoned that perhaps he should not have used the Ten Thousand Bloodline Pedestal.
'Well… no use crying of spilled milk… especially when you don't even own it.' Lin Wu thought and looked at Yun Bai, who seemed to have regained his composure.
"Though wait, what was that voice that spoke, system?" Lin Wu questioned.
He had clearly heard the three words and they were not something that gave a very positive vibe.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The Ten Thousand Bloodline Pedestal was malfunctioning and thus gave out a mixed result, which made it come to the conclusion that the host was a forbidden beast.
Any beast that does not conform to the natural laws is considered to be a forbidden beast according to the definition. While there are a lot more forbidden beasts, for the Ten Thousand Bloodline Pedestal, this is the inputted definition.

"I see… so it was a dying beep that a computer gives…" Lin Wu spoke to the system and quickly checked the map to see if anything else had happened.
Thankfully other than a few random books falling, no damage had occurred to the archives.
"The Glassy Stone did explode and burn up far quicker than normal, which explains the lack of damage." Lin Mu spoke.
"Hmmm… don't know if I should say we were lucky or not." Yun Bai replied.
"Regardless of that, we are done here." Lin Wu stated.
Yun Bai nodded his head and the two of them moved towards the exit.
"Come on Tim, we're leaving." Lin Wu spoke, and the beast started to follow him again.
They quickly left the archives, and the doors of it closed behind them. Making their way to the main area of the Frost Fox Clan, they were met with the Frost Foxes.
"Are you leaving now, Patriarch?" the Eldest man questioned.
"I am," Yun Bai answered. "Our work is done here, and we'll be heading back to the Frozen Cloud sect."
"Ah, I see. Thank you for bringing Senior Lin Wu and allowing us to serve a guest for the first time in a long time." The man spoke.
"I enjoyed your food, too. It is really good and your skills are amazing." Lin Wu praised.
"I'm happy that senior feels this way. It just means our handwork in learning the cooking skills came to a use." The man replied in a grateful tone.
It was at this time a thought came to Lin Wu's mind.
"You know… if some of you want to leave this place for a bit and live somewhere else for a change of scenery, you are more than welcome to come to my forest. I have a place not smaller than this.." Lin Wu offered, greatly surprising all of the Frost Foxes.
