Chance...
Yu Songnian looked at the blood box in silence.
Could that be his chance?
"Open it and take a look." Tianpo Sword said, "The method of opening the blood box is very simple. All you need is a blood relative of the maker to drip their own blood onto the box."
It is very simple indeed.
Yu Songnian took out a small knife and cut his finger. Blood dripped in and slowly flowed along the texture of the finger.
It was clearly just a small drop of blood, but it kept flowing more and more on the blood box, until finally, all the textures were covered with blood.
With a click.
The blood box is opened.
Tianpo Sword tilted its sword curiously and looked into the box.
Inside the box, a pitch-black stone lay quietly.
Next to the stone, there was a jade slip.
Yu Songnian picked up the jade slip first.
He probed his mental power in.
The jade slip suddenly hung horizontally in the air, and a figure appeared above it.
This is……
Yun Jin carefully glanced at the expression of his third senior brother and immediately understood.
This must be Third Brother’s father, the former patriarch of the Yu family.
"Father." Yu Songnian called softly with red eyes.
But he soon realized that it was just an image, and couldn't help but look at Yun Jin with some embarrassment.
Yunjin looked away and pretended not to see anything.
The figure hovered in the air, looking forward gently. "Songnian, by the time you open this box, I'll probably be gone. I'm sorry I couldn't stay with you longer, but I had no other choice."
The figure sighed, "You probably don't know your origins yet. Your mother isn't actually human, but a foreign race that fled from the Far West: the Spirit Stone Clan. This race believes in the power of spirit stones, and uses special spirit stones to cultivate themselves. On a normal day, they appear just like humans, but once their bloodline is activated, they can enter a petrified state, significantly enhancing all aspects of their abilities."
"It's indeed a stone man." Tianpo Sword nodded with satisfaction.
He is really an ordinary little genius in naming.
"Many years ago, a civil war broke out among the alien races, and some fled to the Central Plains. They hid their identities and lived a life similar to that of the human race. That's how your mother and I met and fell in love, and you were born."
"But none of us imagined that the conflict between different bloodlines would have such disastrous consequences within you. Originally, you would have been transformed into a stone man upon birth, never to awaken. It was your mother who used all her energy to suppress the alien bloodline, allowing you to survive. In your memory, your mother has probably always been frail and sickly, right? In fact, it is precisely because she has been using her own original power to continuously nourish your meridians and suppress your bloodline."
Yu Songnian was in a daze for a moment.
turn out to be.
My mother isn't really sick...
She was so weak just for her own sake.
"I'm not afraid you'll resent me. I love your mother dearly, and I've tried to persuade her to stop. As long as your bloodline conflict remains unresolved, it can only be suppressed temporarily. One day, you'll be permanently petrified. Then, I'll lose two relatives at once. I'm selfish, so I want to keep your mother."
The figure sighed, "But your mother didn't want to. She always felt that your situation was her fault, and she had to protect you no matter what. So, many days and nights passed like this. Your mother finally exhausted her original energy and passed away. Before she died, she left behind her life-defining spirit stone, the one in the bloodline box. Your mother is a royal member of the Spirit Stone Clan, and this spirit stone is the clan's king stone. It contains astonishing power. Even your mother, who has owned the king stone for so many years, has only glimpsed a small part of its power."
"Your mother said that when you reach the fusion stage, you can take Wang Shi into your body. Then, perhaps you can completely fuse the two bloodlines and eliminate the sequelae."
"But, in your condition, cultivating to the Fusion Stage is incredibly difficult." The figure revealed a look of despair. "Without your mother, I desperately tried to keep you. Over the years, I've tried countless methods and fed you countless rare treasures. But... your illness can no longer be suppressed. You've started to petrify more frequently, and the intervals are getting shorter and shorter. I know that if this continues, you'll leave me!"
"Recently, I received a piece of news. A rare treasure appeared in the mountains near Lincheng. The treasure shone brilliantly and possessed astonishing spiritual power. Many cultivators went up the mountain to explore, but none of them survived."
"If I can obtain that rare treasure, perhaps I can suppress your bloodline for a few more years. Therefore, I have decided to go and get the treasure. This journey is full of dangers. I may not survive. If I succeed, you and I will have a few more years of fate together as father and son. If I fail..."
A smile appeared on the figure's face: "Then I can also go to meet him underground."
After the figure finished speaking, he remained silent for a while.
For a long time, he looked ahead quietly with an indescribable look.
There was no one there, but they all knew that the person he was looking at was Yu Songnian.
"For a while, I resented you." The figure whispered, "Without your birth, your mother would not have died."
Yu Songnian's body trembled slightly.
The figure suddenly smiled. "But. Your mother loves you more than life. I love your mother more than life. So, I love you more than life, too. Songnian, no matter what, live well. As long as you're alive, there's hope."
