The statement caused astonishment throughout the hall.
All eyes turned to Dugu Xiaoyi, their junior sister.
My goodness!
Damn it, what did they just hear? Her father was the Emperor of the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom? Her maternal grandfather was the Saint Lord of the Nine Nether Holy Land??
This background was simply incredible!
Without a doubt, Dugu Xiaoyi was the person with the strongest background they had ever seen, bar none.
No wonder!
At this moment, everyone seemed to understand why the assassins who had targeted her earlier were so powerful. Were they kidding?
It was precisely because their junior sister's identity was too important, too important!
So important that if she were to be killed, unprecedented riots would erupt in the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom and the Nine Nether Holy Land!
It could be said that if anything happened to Dugu Xiaoyi, it would be far more than just the sky falling for the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom.
Clearly, the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom's attempt to assassinate Dugu Xiaoyi was malicious. They understood perfectly that only by eliminating Dugu Xiaoyi could chaos erupt within the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom, and only in such chaos could they find an opportunity.
Soon, Ye Xuan found the method to activate the Nine Nether Bloodline in the upgraded system mall. He was shocked by what he saw.
Because activating the Nine Nether Bloodline not only required a special formation but also hundreds of millions of top-grade immortal crystals. Only then would it be possible to activate it, and even then, it wasn't guaranteed.
"This little fellow... it seems I truly underestimated the incredible power of the Nine Nether Bloodline."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for redeeming the [Nine Nether Bloodline Activation Formation], consuming 100,000 Zi Wei Coins!"
Clearly, the formation alone for activating the Nine Nether Bloodline was a considerable expense, let alone the subsequent hundreds of millions of top-grade immortal crystals.
"Xiaoyi, come with me."
With that, Ye Xuan called Dugu Xiaoyi aside privately, leaving Feng Chen and the others filled with suspicion. As for Little Black Dragon, a smirk played on his lips, clearly knowing why Dugu Xiaoyi was being taken away.
Nine Nether Bloodline!
After countless years, was this almost forbidden bloodline finally going to reappear?
It was truly something to look forward to~~
"Junior Uncle, what is Master doing?"
After their initial confusion, Feng Chen and the others also noticed something was amiss and looked suspiciously at Little Black Dragon.
As if sensing their doubts, Little Black Dragon smiled slightly, "It's nothing, it's just that your junior sister possesses an extremely rare bloodline."
"It's no exaggeration to say that if your junior sister's bloodline is activated, her talent will absolutely be the best among you nine. Therefore, her future breakthroughs in cultivation will undoubtedly exceed your imagination."
"This..."
Hearing Junior Uncle's words, Feng Chen and the others exchanged glances. A rare bloodline? Superb talent??
Suddenly, the pressure on them increased significantly.
Although they didn't know what kind of bloodline this junior sister possessed at the moment!
But...
For Junior Uncle to say so, this bloodline must be extremely precious!
Seeing their immense pressure, Little Black Dragon said earnestly, "So, you all need to work harder from now on. If you slack off, I'm afraid you'll be surpassed by your junior sister not long from now."
"Keep it up, little ones~"
Meanwhile, while Feng Chen and the others were under immense pressure.
Ye Xuan led a suspicious Dugu Xiaoyi to a clearing in the dense forest. "Master, what are you doing?"
Clearly, Dugu Xiaoyi had no idea what kind of change her life was about to undergo.
"It's nothing, just helping you awaken your bloodline."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, then with a flip of his hand, he produced hundreds of millions of top-grade immortal crystals.
Instantly, dense immortal energy spread out for thousands of feet. The sudden scene completely bewildered Dugu Xiaoyi.
"This is... hundreds of millions of top-grade immortal crystals? Master, you...?"
Knowing that such a large quantity of top-grade immortal crystals was an enormous sum, even with Dugu Xiaoyi's extraordinary status.
"It's for activating your bloodline."
Ye Xuan waved his hand carelessly. In his eyes, hundreds of millions of top-grade immortal crystals were not much, especially for activating his disciple's Nine Nether Bloodline, which was even less significant.
"What!"
Upon hearing Master's words, Dugu Xiaoyi was truly shocked, staring at the hundreds of millions of top-grade immortal crystals beside her. "Master, these..."
"Are all for activating my bloodline??"
Hundreds of millions of top-grade immortal crystals, to activate a bloodline?
But... why did she have a bloodline and not even know it herself?
"Cough, cough, Master, then... what kind of bloodline do I have? How come I don't know myself."
Dugu Xiaoyi's pretty face was full of suspicion, but Master's demeanor clearly indicated he wasn't joking.
"This is very normal."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. He knew from Little Black Dragon that the Nine Nether Bloodline was extremely rare. It was likely that even the Nine Nether Holy Land wouldn't expect Dugu Xiaoyi to possess the Nine Nether Bloodline.
"I remember your maternal grandfather is the Saint Lord of the Nine Nether Holy Land, right?"
Glancing at the curious Dugu Xiaoyi, he continued, "If I'm not mistaken, your maternal grandfather's ancestors should have had the Nine Nether Bloodline. However, as generations passed, the bloodline power became negligible, to the point where your grandfather and others no longer believed that descendants would possess the Nine Nether Bloodline."
Dugu Xiaoyi, "Ah, this..."
"I don't know."
Dugu Xiaoyi was stunned upon hearing this, and then her thoughts drifted. "I only heard that my grandfather's lineage was not a native force of the 300 states of the Desolate Domain, but came from outside the Desolate Domain. As for whether my grandfather's lineage had the Nine Nether Bloodline ancestors, I'm not clear..."
"Steady your mind, I'll handle the rest."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, not paying attention to Dugu Xiaoyi's recollection, and reminded her.
The next moment!
Centered on Dugu Xiaoyi, a special formation specifically for activating the Nine Nether Bloodline was set up.
An ancient, obscure, and mysterious formation soared into the sky, covering an area of thousands of feet. As the formation began to operate, the hundreds of millions of top-grade immortal crystals melted like ice and snow, instantly transforming into pure immortal power that surged towards the center of the formation, where the person was none other than Dugu Xiaoyi.
"Yes, Master."
Although still somewhat confused, Dugu Xiaoyi dared not be careless and focused her full attention on sensing the changes in her body.
Under the special technique, deep within Dugu Xiaoyi's calm body, at a certain moment, an extremely subtle change occurred, followed by a crackling sound.
A crisp sound echoed, as if some bloodline shackles had cracked, and then...
The cracks grew larger and larger, finally shattering with a bang.
Under the guidance of the formation, the extremely dense immortal energy began to activate Dugu Xiaoyi's bloodline in a unique way.
Time quietly passed.
A quarter of an hour!
Half an hour! Three-quarters of an hour!!
Finally, at a certain moment, Dugu Xiaoyi's Nine Nether Bloodline was fully activated. At the instant of activation, a terrifying bloodline power pressure spread in all directions, instantly reaching thousands of feet away.
At the same time, Little Black Dragon, sensing the peculiar pressure emanating from the distant dense forest, his eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Good heavens... is this the pressure of the Nine Nether Bloodline? It's quite powerful, tsk tsk~~"
