Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 651: Chapter 651: Is it Yun Xiao, or is it not Yun Xiao?

”Master, what’s the matter?”

Gazing at the Master, whose expression had suddenly changed, the Ruyi Jade Spider beside him asked, flustered and stuttering.

As soon as this Jade Tablet appeared, the Master was plunged into his memories.

Could it be that Little Seven is really the Master’s own younger sister?

The idea that she might be the Master’s own sister made the Ruyi Jade Spider excited, feeling as though she had done something she should have.

The demon beasts near the carriage began exchanging glances.

The little girl before them was hardly ten years old. How could she possibly be the sister of the Master, who had lived for a hundred thousand years? But why did this ancient Jade Tablet make the Master seem so lost in thought?

The demon beasts were confused.

「...」

”Brother, do you also have a token like this?”

Seeing Ye Yun’s changed expression, Little Seven seemed to seize an opportunity and asked excitedly.

Ye Yun fell silent.

In his eyes, a tiny, star-like rune flickered briefly.

The Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye was activated.

Little Seven suddenly appeared stunned.

At this moment, Ye Yun’s Divine Sense entered Little Seven’s memories.

Little Seven’s memories were quite brief, encompassing only a few years, offering him no clues he had hoped for.

How strange. Who exactly is this little girl?

Ye Yun withdrew his Divine Sense and let out a soft breath, a puzzled look appearing in his eyes.

He flipped the Jade Tablet over. On its back, Ye Yun saw the blood-red character ’Seven’.

Seven... What does this represent?

Ye Yun’s gaze flickered, his thoughts rapidly spinning.

The blood-red script looks somewhat unfamiliar. Yet, there’s also a faint sense of familiarity. It seems familiar, yet exceedingly strange. This feeling is quite peculiar.

Ye Yun gently ran his fingers over it. As his fingers brushed against the dark red script, he suddenly sensed an extremely faint trace of the Dragon God Bloodline within the blood.

This trace was simply too faint. Unbelievably faint.

If not for Ye Yun’s immense strength, he likely wouldn’t have discovered this clue at all.

Dragon God Bloodline... Ye Yun closed his eyes, carefully sensing the faint aura of the Dragon God Bloodline.

The expression on his face slowly froze.

Ye Yun found it hard to believe.

This Dragon God Bloodline... it actually originates from a Five Elements True Dragon!

No wonder this character ’Seven’ felt so familiar. It turns out it was written with Yun Xiao’s blood on the Jade Tablet... Ye Yun thought to himself.

He opened his eyes and looked at Little Seven before him once again.

Yun Xiao’s Jade Tablet. And on the back, Yun Xiao’s blood was used for the inscription. Although the aura of the Five Elements True Dragon’s bloodline within the script was exceedingly faint, Ye Yun could still determine it—this was indeed the blood of Yun Xiao, the Five Elements True Dragon who had once lain in the Crystal coffin in Langya Cave Heaven.

Could this child be Yun Xiao?

A bold conjecture suddenly formed in Ye Yun’s mind. However, he quickly dismissed this idea.

If it were Yun Xiao, how could she look exactly like me? Shouldn’t she resemble Yun Xiao herself? If it were Yun Xiao, Little Seven’s body should possess the aura of the Five Elements True Dragon’s bloodline. Even if this bloodline aura were extremely faint, it couldn’t be completely eradicated; Ye Yun would surely have sensed it.

”This matter seems very complicated. Look, the Master has been standing there for ages without saying a word...” Bihai Tongtian said softly, his head lowered.

”Yes! The Master must have learned some truth...” the Immortal Divine Silkworm remarked, nodding slightly.

The Big Black Cat, curious, couldn’t help but whisper, ”Elders, is this little girl truly the Master’s sister?”

”Don’t speak nonsense! This isn’t something the likes of us can meddle in!” the Immortal Divine Silkworm snapped, glaring fiercely at him.

The Big Black Cat immediately clamped his mouth shut and dared not speak anymore.

Little Seven, seeing Ye Yun immersed in deep thought for a long time, finally grew anxious.

”Brother, what did you discover? Am I your sister or not?” Little Seven’s small face flushed red as she couldn’t resist shaking Ye Yun’s arm.

”I can’t be certain yet, but I’ve decided... I’ll acknowledge you as my little sister for now!” Ye Yun said with a gentle smile, his expression warm.

”Hehe! Even though Brother isn’t willing to fully admit it yet, I’m still considered his little sister now! Maybe in the future, once Brother figures things out, he’ll truly acknowledge me!” Little Seven cheered.

”Master...” The Ruyi Jade Spider at the side wanted to speak but stopped herself.

Ye Yun extended his palm and waved it gently in mid-air, signaling the demon beasts not to follow. Then, he took Little Seven’s hand and led her towards the vast, snow-capped mountains ahead.

Watching the two figures, one large and one small, gradually disappear over the distant snowy mountains, the Ruyi Jade Spider was completely dumbfounded.

What does the Master mean by this? He doesn’t confirm Little Seven’s identity, yet he acknowledges her as his sister.

A cold wind gusted.

Large flakes of snow, like goose feathers, began to fall from the sky.

The world grew colder.

The Ruyi Jade Spider sighed, returned to the carriage, and transformed back into a tiny, translucent spider.

She felt a little dejected and began cultivating in silence.

The other demon beasts glanced at each other, not daring to speak.

The Big Black Horse descended from mid-air, found a spot sheltered from the wind, and settled there.

The demon beasts, with a tacit understanding, all began to cultivate silently.

The wind and snow grew heavier.

Ye Yun, holding Little Seven’s hand, walked deep into the unending snowy mountains.

He suddenly stopped and descended from mid-air, landing on the snow.

Both of them stood on the snow.

Ye Yun gazed at the space before them, a slight smile touching his lips.

”Brother, what is it?” Little Seven asked, puzzled.

”There is a Blood Spirit Ban ahead...”

After uttering something Little Seven didn’t understand, Ye Yun’s eyes lit up slightly. Smiling, he bypassed this Blood Spirit Ban.

Blood Spirit Tian... truly inherited from the Blood Spirit Sect.

Sparse Blood Spirit Bans started appearing in the distant mountain range, signifying that the mysterious Blood Spirit Tian was not far ahead.

Holding Little Seven’s hand, Ye Yun continued forward. Along the way, he bypassed numerous Blood Spirit Bans.

”Little Seven, why are you so afraid of Spirit Planting?” Ye Yun asked casually.

”Brother, this Spirit Planting is very dangerous! One careless mistake, and there’s a risk of perishing. I haven’t lived long enough yet!” Little Seven said with a laugh, grabbing a handful of snow and gently tossing it into the distance.

”To cultivate Blood Spirit Tian’s Cultivation Technique, one presumably starts with Spirit Planting, correct?” Ye Yun said with a smile.

Little Seven said angrily, ”According to those detestable fellows, Spirit Planting is the first step. After successfully completing Spirit Planting, one is considered an inner sect disciple and can then cultivate the ultimate Cultivation Technique of Blood Spirit Tian...”

”Mm,” Ye Yun nodded.

This Blood Spirit Ban is indeed a strange practice. The Spirit Planting stage alone will eliminate many people.

「Soon, an incense stick’s worth of time passed.」

Two figures, one tall and one short, appeared on a towering, immense, silver mountain.

Gazing at the various snow-white buildings in the immensely vast valley below, a faint smile touched Ye Yun’s lips.

So this is the mysterious Blood Spirit Tian.

Around the valley, Blood Spirit Bans of various sizes lay hidden, securely guarding the entire sect.

What’s this?

Ye Yun’s gaze suddenly focused. In the valley’s square, he saw a colossal silver statue of a woman.

The woman had an exquisite figure, graceful and captivating. Her deep eyes were as bright as stars in the sky, but unfortunately, she wore a mask, making it impossible to see her face.

Could it be Yun Xiao?

Ye Yun felt a surge of anticipation, his heart pounding with excitement.

Just at this moment, large crowds of people surged out from the surrounding buildings.

Many of them were children around ten years of age.

The people arranged themselves in an orderly fashion on the square, and then the vast majority knelt before the statue.

”All of you are newly admitted disciples. Before the Spirit Planting ceremony begins, you must pay respects to the founder of our Blood Spirit Tian!” a bewitching beauty with fair skin and a cold, stunning aura declared solemnly, standing beneath the statue.
