Chapter 586 The Pureblood Culprit [Part 3]

outside the window.

The cold wind howled, whipping up a flurry of snowflakes that blanketed the sky in white.

The departing figure of the wind dragon had long since been swallowed up and disappeared.

See this scene.

Ayun then withdrew her gaze from the doorway, hiding the worry in her eyes.

When he turned around.

A smile had already appeared on his face.

She took out two neatly folded animal skin garments from the side.

"Come here, your mother just made these. You two come over and try them on to see if they fit."

The two children were at the age of rapid growth, and being barbarians, they ate the flesh of wild beasts and ferocious animals every day.

My body has grown so fast that last year's old clothes are already too bulky and won't last through this cold winter.

She made these two new clothes by the flickering firelight just as dawn was breaking and the snow was beginning to fall.

"Thank you, Mother!"

Phoenix excitedly took it, her little face beaming with a smile, and happily compared it.

"My mother's handiwork is so good, the clothes she makes are the most beautiful!"

"Thank you!"

Hu Qi silently accepted it. The texture of the animal hide was warm and thick, much thicker than the animal hide he had worn before.

His gaze swept over the other person's fingers.

If you look closely, you'll see that the red marks on A-Yun's fingertips from the bone needles haven't completely faded yet.

It is clear that making these two animal suits in a short period of time is not easy.

"Why are you two being so polite with your mother?"

Ah Yun smiled.

As she spoke, she began to help Phoenix change her clothes.

soon.

The two had changed into brand new clothes.

Phoenix is ​​wearing a thick animal skin robe, made from the skin of a pure white sable.

Her fur was thick and fluffy, covering her small, five-year-old body, which made her look even more delicate and her eyes sparkling like stars.

As she moved, the leather robe swayed gently, as if wrapped in a soft blanket of first snow, adding a touch of lively charm.

Hu Qi also wore a well-fitting tiger-skin coat, which was also made of very thick fur. Wrapped around his body, it provided instant warmth, far superior to ordinary cotton-padded clothes.

The wind and snow were biting outside.

After wrapping myself in this animal skin, I immediately felt much warmer.

Although Hu Qi didn't need it, he didn't refuse.

His biological mother, Ayun, was also a barbarian cultivator, but only at the early stage of the Blood Condensation Realm.

Its awakened beast bloodline is named Xuanzhi.

It resembles a fox with a human face, has four ears and eight tails, and its entire body is as clear as crystal.

They are nocturnal and skillful, creating exquisitely beautiful objects.

Although this strange beast is a ferocious beast, it is not good at fighting and is more inclined to weave clothing.

This is why A-Yun was able to sew clothes for the two of them in just a few hours.

"Mother, I was able to sense my Qi and blood while I was cultivating last night!"

Suddenly, Phoenix spoke up, her voice filled with barely concealed joy.

As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Hu Qi, who was silent beside her, and raised her small chin slightly with a hint of smugness.

Hu Qi remained calm in the face of this situation, as if he were already used to it and was completely unmoved, as if he had not seen it at all.

This attitude made Phoenix feel a sense of unease.

This guy is actually ignoring me.

aside.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Ayun's eyes.

For ordinary barbarian children to practice the guiding method and sense the presence of qi and blood, they need at least ten days of arduous practice.

But then I thought about it again. My children possess rare divine beast bloodlines and are exceptionally gifted, so they cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and said gently.

"My dear Huang'er, circulate your qi and blood so your mother can take a look."

Phoenix nodded, her little face tense, showing a hint of seriousness.

next moment.

A very thin layer of hazy blood-red light, like the first rays of dawn, faintly emerged from the surface of her small body.

Though faint, it is solid, which is a sign that the Qi and blood have been successfully activated!

"My little phoenix is ​​indeed amazing."

Ayun smiled and ruffled her hair, but deep within that smile, there was an unconscious hint of forced reluctance and dazedness.

The low, menacing words of Feng Jiao from yesterday echoed in her ears once more.

"...Once the two children officially embark on the path of barbarian cultivation, the village chief will personally lead them away to the real barbarian tribe."

That's where they truly belong. Staying here would not only be more dangerous, but it would also hinder their growth.

The thought of her child leaving the village and leaving her was unbearable.

It felt as if something had suddenly clenched her heart, causing a sharp, aching pain.

Ayun quickly turned her head away, using the act of tidying up her fur coat to hide the tears and reluctance welling up in her eyes, forcibly suppressing her emotions so that the child wouldn't notice.

Phoenix was completely unaware, still immersed in the joy of stimulating her blood and qi.

He turned to Hu Qi triumphantly, waved his little fist, and his childish face was full of provocation.

The meaning couldn't be clearer: once her cultivation improved, she would definitely teach this brother who always bullied her a lesson.

Hu Qi seemed oblivious to this childish demonstration.

His gaze fell into the depths of Phoenix's eyes, where he saw that her bright eyes were now faintly tinged with red.

Even more strangely, there seemed to be a very faint shadow superimposed on the side of the pupil, making it appear as if there were two overlapping pupils.

"The double pupil talent of the Chongming Bird?"

Hu Qi's mind stirred slightly, and he instantly understood.

It seems that the other party has aroused their qi and blood.

This caused the bloodline of the Double-Eyed Bird to begin to awaken, granting it the ability to have double pupils.

These double pupils, a characteristic of the Chongming Bird, are naturally powerful, possessing the ability to ward off evil, distinguish between good and evil, and even control a special kind of bright flame.

However, judging from the current situation, it is only the beginning of a trend.

It's still too early to be fully awakened.

Just then, Fenghuang withdrew her qi and blood, and the strange crimson and overlapping shadows in her eyes quietly disappeared, returning her to normal.

Ayun had also composed herself and turned to Hu Qi, asking gently, "Qi'er, what about you? Have you sensed your qi and blood?"

Hu Qi remained calm, simply shaking his head slightly: "I haven't sensed it yet."

Upon hearing this, A-Yun felt a sense of relief, as if the time for parting could be postponed a little longer.

Phoenix heard what Hu Qi said.

Her eyes were practically overflowing with smugness. She hid behind A-Yun, peeked out, and tried her best to look arrogant.

"Hmph, it seems your talent is ultimately no match for mine..."

Upon hearing this, Hu Qi's lips slowly curved into a smile that was neither a smile nor a smile, his voice calm yet carrying a certain invisible pressure.

"Really? I think you're asking for trouble again."

A seemingly casual remark sent a shiver down Fenghuang's spine, like a small animal whose tail had been stepped on.

He completely retreated behind A-Yun, only revealing his eyes, which were staring at Hu Qi warily, and dared not say anything more.

Watching the familiar banter between the brother and sister helped dispel some of the gloom in A-Yun's heart.

Next.

The three chatted casually for a few minutes.

Hu Qi also returned to his house.

Close the door.

Then I sat cross-legged on the bed.

Close your eyes and perceive yourself.

A moment later, Hu Qi opened his eyes, a blood-red hue appearing in them.

Raise your hand.

Streams of water converged and formed a floating water ball in the palm of the hand, hovering above it, which was quite magical.

This is the bloodline ability of the Black Serpent: water control.

With the suppressive aura of the Taiyu Serpent, the Xuan Serpent was completely refined within one night.

Although he has not yet become a barbarian cultivator.

However, using this ability is not difficult.

Furthermore, compared to ordinary barbarians, the power of his inherited bloodline was more complete.

For an ordinary cultivator to develop bloodline abilities, they would need to reach at least the Blood Condensation Realm or the Spirit Opening Realm.

However, this is not the limit.

Something moved in my heart.

A scarlet panel appeared before my eyes.

[Owner: Hu Qi (Feng Qi)]

Age: 5 (Immortal)

[Status: Abnormal (Adapting to higher dimensions)]

【Bloodline: Black Serpent (Bloodline Incomplete) △】

[Talents: Devouring Spirits, Twisted Light, Ring of Eternity]

【Skill: Savage Fiend Technique (Beginner) △】

[Modified value: 951 units (90%)]

Hu Qi's gaze swept across the area and landed directly on the incomplete characters of the bloodline section.

He showed no surprise. That black serpent was merely an ancient, exotic species.

In other words, it is just a strange beast with the bloodline of the Xuan Snake.

It is only natural that bloodlines are incomplete.

Without hesitation, Hu Qi's eyes flashed.

"Crimson, modify and perfect the Xuan Snake bloodline for me!"

For an instant.

The three thousand modification values ​​transformed into a beam of red light and entered the Xuan Snake's bloodline.

For an instant.

The originally incomplete Xuan Snake bloodline inscription became blurred.

at the same time.

Hu Qi could sense the abnormal changes occurring within his body.

If you were an ordinary person, you probably wouldn't have felt it much.

But it's different now.

Hu Qi could clearly perceive it.

The bloodline fragment belonging to the Xuan Snake within his body was being rapidly perfected and extended.

This feeling is like something appearing out of nothing; it's extremely mysterious.

at the same time.

Fragments of broken and ancient memories surged into his mind like a tide.

Those are the inherited memories within the Xuan Snake bloodline.

Many organisms possess this kind of inherited memory, and the more powerful the organism, the more complete its genetic information.

Take ordinary humans as an example.

Genes are the blueprint for protein synthesis, which determines human body structure, such as eye color, height tendency, physiological functions, and the basic architecture of the nervous system.

However, it does not store the images seen, sounds heard, or specific events experienced by ancestors like a hard drive does.

Therefore, genetic memory is passed down in another form, becoming an instinct.

such as.

Babies are born with the instinct to suckle. When faced with a sudden loud noise or a feeling of falling, humans will react reflexively, such as startling.

For example, an innate fear of darkness, snake-like objects, or the possibility of spiders.

The principle is the same.

As a divine beast, the Xuan Snake's power goes without saying.

Once the bloodline is perfected, the inherited memory information naturally emerges.

now.

Hu Qi felt as if he had sunk into an abyss, enveloped in coldness and darkness.

Countless fragmented images appeared one after another.

The bottom of a dark, lightless abyss.

Hu Qi seemed to have transformed into an ancient black serpent, coiled at the bottom of a dark abyss.

It was surrounded by black water, which moved as easily as an arm or finger.

He can create turbulent waves with a single thought, or unleash torrential rain with a single thought.

This feeling is enough to make ordinary people addicted to it and lose themselves.

But who exactly is Hu Qi?

This memory, which originated from his bloodline, had no effect on him whatsoever.

In just a moment, it broke free.

The scene suddenly changed.

It appears in another location here.

He stirred up storms, soared into the sky, and his snake tail swept across the clouds, tearing open the curtain of torrential rain. Wherever his red eyes looked, rivers overflowed, and the earth became a vast swamp.

It feels like watching a movie from a first-person perspective; you can only watch and you can't interfere.

at this time.

A person claiming to be King Yu appeared.

They fought together.

There were other strange beasts assisting King Yu.

In particular, there was a strange beast whose entire body was covered in dark blue scales, but whose dragon body had wings. It could generate lightning when it spread its wings, and its strength was unparalleled.

Although the black serpent possessed terrifying strength, it was ultimately no match for the overwhelming force of the enemy.

Not only was King Yu powerful, but he also had the help of a host of mythical beasts.

However, after a few rounds of fighting, he fell into a disadvantageous position.

In the end, the Black Serpent suffered a crushing defeat and was critically injured and on the verge of death.

He was pierced through the body by a steel pillar and bound with a black lock, thus imprisoning him forever in a desolate place in the deep sea.

The excruciating pain that tore at the soul, and the overwhelming resentment, were deeply imprinted in the blood.

The tides rise and fall, the stars shift and the constellations change.

He could only be suppressed within it forever, his life force eroded over time, until he finally turned into a skeleton.

The bloodline dissipates and is absorbed and devoured by other snakes or aquatic creatures, transforming into new strange beasts.

After a while, the scene before my eyes shattered.

Hu Qi also opened his eyes.

A strange look flashed in his eyes.

"...Yu the Great controlled the floods... Could it be Yu the Great?!"

The memory of the Black Serpent's inheritance includes that of King Yu.

It feels somewhat similar to the myth of Yu the Great controlling the floods that I've heard before.

The strange dragon among them looks very much like Yinglong.

According to the legends he once knew.

Legend has it that in ancient times, after the water god Gonggong failed to seize the throne of the Heavenly Emperor from the fire god Zhurong, he angrily rammed his head against Buzhou Mountain, which supported the heavens and the earth.

This collision directly caused the pillar of heaven to break, the sky to tilt to the northwest, and the earth to collapse to the southeast, disrupting the order of heaven and earth and triggering a massive flood that lasted for many years.

The people were displaced, which is why Gun, the father of Yu the Great, and later Yu the Great, successively controlled the floods.

And in this.

Many strange beasts with the ability to control water took this opportunity to stir up trouble and wreak havoc in the area.

For example, Wuzhiqi, one of the legendary Four Chaos Monkeys.

He is one such example.

Now, according to the inherited memories of this Xuan Snake.

The black serpent at the source of that bloodline was one of those strange beasts that stirred up trouble and was suppressed by Yu the Great.

in this way.

Could it be that the so-called primordial world also exists, or is it the real world?!
Thinking of these mythical beasts that once appeared in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the information in the bloodline inheritance.

This gave Hu Qi the idea.

After all, everything in the lower dimensions is a reflection of the real world.

However, even if it isn't.

I'm afraid it's also related to them.

"This is getting more and more interesting..."

Hu Qi's eyes flickered.

He never expected that simply perfecting his bloodline would yield such an unexpected gain.

This made him even more curious about the real world.

Take a quick look at your body's condition.

His ability to control water has become even more effortless; the condensation and dissipation of the surrounding water vapor are all within his control.

Then, he looked at the bloodline section of the panel again.

[Bloodline: Black Serpent△ (Bloodline Superpower: Control of Turbid Water)]

A new Bloodline Divine Power has been added to the Bloodline section.

"Controlling the turbid water" likely refers to manipulating and condensing black water.

However, another thing that bothered Hu Qi was that the Xuan Snake bloodline was already perfected, and theoretically it should be impossible to modify it.

But at this moment, it is still possible to continue making changes.

See this scene.

Hu Qi's gaze paused.

Based on his experience, the Xuan Snake's bloodline had been restored, making it equivalent to a pure-blooded true culprit.

He was like a pure-blooded, true culprit cub at that moment.

If further modifications are to be made, it should be to trace back to the source, back to the origin of the bloodline.

Judging from the inherited memories I just glimpsed.

If one's bloodline is at a higher level, one should be able to obtain more information.

However, the real world is not so simple.

The memories passed down by the Black Serpent have already involved beings like Yu the Great.

If this continues, what if we get involved with the Dao Lord Realm or True Spirit Realm within this world?

I fear that the moment the memory is regained...

He will be noticed.

Given his current situation, it is clearly not appropriate for him to do so.

It would be best to choose a suitable opportunity, or at least wait until we have recovered some strength.

Think of this.

He abandoned the idea of ​​continuing to make changes.

He then turned his attention to the Savage Fiend Technique in the skills section.
