The Prodigies War

Chapter 449 Three Thousand Drops of Blood from the Heart

Ancient treasures able to connect with one’s spirit had to be an aeth treasure!

As a young rune grandmaster, Lin Xun knew that better than many people.

Aeth tools were powerful but their power was still inferior to aeth treasures of the same grade. After all, aeth treasures possessed a unique spiritual intelligence while aeth tools didn’t.

However, in comparison, ancient treasures that were able to survive since ancient times while maintaining their spiritual intelligence were much more mysterious.

The Purple Soul Blade in Lin Xun’s hand was an aeth treasure, but Lin Xun was certain that it wouldn’t withstand years of erosion and survive from the ancient times.

That demonstrated the unique value of ancient treasures.

The Scarlet Fire Gourd in his hand was an ancient treasure overflowing with spiritual intelligence. It was in perfect condition and seemed able to communicate with one’s spirit.

It shined lustrously like fiery jade and blazed like a divine flame.

On closer look, mysterious and peculiar rune patterns were flowing around the treasure like the veins of clouds and circulating with spiritual intelligence like they were alive.

If that were its only characteristic, it would be no different from the Violet Soul Blade in Lin Xun’s hand.

The key was that the runes marked around the gourd radiated an ancient Dao aura!

Dao aura was the energy of the great Dao and was mysterious and unfathomable.

It was no wonder that an aeth treasure possessing Dao energy was able to remain undamaged for so long and be full of spiritual intelligence.

It could be called unparalleled and invaluable!

Lin Xun closed his eyes, heart pounding with excitement. He began to carefully fathom the mysterious uses of the treasure.

Secret runes sealed the mouth of the gourd, producing swirling flames. They were in perfect condition like splendid stamps.

Neither Gu Lei from Golden Light Gate nor Lian Dieyi had fathomed the mystery of the ancient treasure.

Bang!

A cloud of purple flames spewed out as the seal was removed.

Rumble—

The intense heat incinerated everything it touched, and a wave of terrifying, searing heat swept the area.

The nearby clouds evaporated, and the air sizzled. Lin Xun felt chilled to the bone. The power of the purple flames was so terrifying that it could burn even rivers and seas.

Lin Xun waited for the gourd to stop spewing out purple flames from its mouth before he instilled his sensing power into it.

“A drop of blood!”

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes when he saw a drop of blood rolling around the inside of the gourd. It was a vivid and beautiful purple color. Terrifyingly, bright lightning flickered inside the tiny drop of blood, producing a terrifying aura of destruction.

Hiss—

Lin Xun inhaled sharply. It's just a tiny drop of blood but it contains horrifying, oppressive power.

Bang!

Suddenly, a ray of lightning shot out from the drop of purple blood, penetrating Lin Xun’s mind and rushing toward his spirit.

Grunting, he frantically activated Star Cycle to obliterate the wisp of lightning.

His spirit shook violently. Even so, he didn’t hesitate to reseal the gourd!

What was that? Why is it sealed inside the gourd?

Lin Xun furrowed his brows in confusion. He had thought that the Scarlet Fire Gourd was an ancient killing weapon, but apparently the purpose of the gourd was to seal the drop of purple blood.

Suddenly, Lin Xun felt something strange in his mind-sea. It turned out to be a remnant trace of the obliterated lightning.

To his surprise, the trace was an incomparably cold and indifferent roar—

“Old Man Wujiu, one day, when I get out, the Pure Land of Supreme Unity will be washed with blood!”

The voice shook his mind-sea and made his blood and qi tumble violently in his body. Fortunately, it quickly vanished. Otherwise, Lin Xun felt that the voice alone could crumble his spirit and destroy his body!

Wujiu?

Pure Land of Supreme Unity?

Those unfamiliar words made Lin Xun wonder whether the voice belonged to the owner of the drop of purple blood.

As he pondered, he suddenly clenched his teeth and unsealed the gourd again. Like the previous time, he instilled a wisp of sensing power into the gourd.

Chi—

As expected, the drop of purple blood released a strand of hair-like, silvery lightning and rushed towards his sensing power.

Prepared, Lin Xun activated Star Cycle to obliterate it.

“I am devoted to the Dao, but have been schemed and suppressed by despicable people and have lost the three thousand drops of essence blood from my heart!”

Lin Xun frowned. Three thousand drops of essence blood from the heart? Could the drop of purple blood sealed in the gourd also be from there?

In the following time, Lin Xun did the same thing. He constantly released a wisp of consciousness and observed the inside of the gourd.

“It’s ridiculous and sad. Heaven is so heartless to watch such a calamity happen!”

“Hmph! Refining gourd? Do you think you can obliterate my willpower with this and capture the truth of the great Dao concealed within the essence of blood? Think again!”

“One day, the Pure Land of Supreme Unity will also suffer a calamity, be abandoned by heavens, and not tolerated by the Great Dao!”

……

The voice raged, filled with incomparable coldness and infinite resentment and hatred.

The words puzzled Lin Xun.

After a long moment, he finally composed himself and concluded that the voice was from a wisp of remnant consciousness inside the drop of purple blood and that it was from a powerful figure of ancient times.

It seemed that the owner of the purple blood had been schemed against by someone called Old Man Wujiu and others from the Pure Land of Supreme Unity while he was realizing the Dao.

In the end, three thousand drops of essence blood were forcibly taken from his heart.

The blood contained the purple blood owner’s Dao truth, and to refine it, Old Man Wujiu had sealed it inside the Scarlet Flame Gourd.

“This ancient treasure is actually a refining gourd. The drop of purple blood sealed inside must be one out of three thousand drops of essence blood that contained his Dao truths…”

Understanding dawned on Lin Xun.

Dao truth was a legendary magical power that contained the inheritance of the great Dao!

Based on that, the three thousand drops of blood essence contained three thousand kinds of inheritance of the Great Dao. The owner of the purple blood had to have been terrifyingly strong in the past!

I found a treasure!

Lin Xun’s heart pounded with excitement. Not only is the spirit-refining gourd an ancient treasure with spirit-connecting power, but the drop of mysterious purple blood sealed inside is also invaluable!

If Lian Dieyi knew about this, she wouldn’t have returned the spirit-refining gourd to me so easily, right?

Lin Xun took a deep breath and carefully put away the spirit-refining gourd.

He wanted to spend more time delving into this, but time did not permit that. Only after he had completely formed a new Origin Aeth Artery in his body would he have the energy and time to fully comprehend the mystery concealed in the spirit refining gourd and the drop of purple blood.

Lin Xun hastened on with his journey.

Rumble—

Not long after that, just as he was navigating his way through the pitch-black, barren mountains, thunderous battles seemed to have broken out in the distance.

The sky shook and the earth quaked, indicating a real large-scale battle!
