Chapter 1847

Time passed bit by bit, the little carp had no intention of waking up, lost in memories; Chen Chuyang and Heishanyang did not disturb her, standing beside her, acting as her Dharma Protector. If the little carp showed any strange situation, they would immediately act to stop it.

The little carp's condition was very stable, with no special circumstances and no changes.

"Kid, could the little carp have been possessed?" Heishanyang asked via voice transmission, voicing his suspicion, for the little carp's condition was off, the breakthrough too fast, causing her body to exhibit this situation; aside from possession, it could think of no other possibility.

An old monster possessed the little carp, then disguised itself as the little carp, deceiving Chen Chuyang into sympathy, and finally cast him aside outright; such a scheme is not unprecedented, and Heishanyang is certainly not striking out of revenge, but rather expressing a reasonable suspicion based on success.

"Don't talk nonsense, the little carp shows no change; perhaps the bloodline inheritance has been activated." Chen Chuyang shook their head, denying Heishanyang's words.

Heishanyang chuckled: "Kid, inheritance isn't something every monster beast possesses; it depends on the bloodline. Ordinary bloodlines cannot have an inheritance. Generally, only within the great clans of monster beasts, among the royal lineages, might there be an inheritance, and not everyone has one."

"For example, my clan innately possesses an inheritance; many powerful monster beast descendants may not be able to inherit it, for inheritance is passed down through the bloodline, and the little carp is merely a little carp, having advanced from a tiny mundane spirit fish to now possess a sixth-grade dragon fish bloodline; she could not possibly have an inheritance."

"So, inheritance is impossible; aside from possession, I can think of no other possibility."

Heishanyang simply does not believe the little carp possesses an inheritance; inheritance exists only within the true great clan's bloodline, or it is passed down from that generation of their ancestors. Depending on the strength of the bloodline, the inheritance varies; strictly speaking, it is the same, but the completeness differs—the purer the bloodline, the more of the inheritance one can see.

Therefore, bloodline is very important; in many monster races, they value bloodline.

This differs from humans, for human inheritance does not rely on bloodline but on cultivation techniques, texts, and so on—a point where monster beasts fall short. However, this method easily leads to lost inheritance, after all, with the vicissitudes of time, no one can guarantee the inheritance remains intact, nor can anyone guarantee it can be perpetuated indefinitely.

Monster Race are different: the inheritance lies hidden in the bloodline; even if they have declined, as long as the bloodline and strength meet the conditions, the bloodline inheritance will activate; as long as the bloodline is not cut off, the inheritance will not be severed—this is the most secure way.

"Putting it that way, it is indeed dangerous, but I sense no possibility of her being possessed." Chen Chuyang shook their head, rejecting this possibility again; if the little carp were possessed, then it would be linked to its own soul, and Chen Chuyang would certainly be able to sense it.

In this regard, Chen Chuyang did not feel possessed, but rather a third special circumstance.

"Do you think the little carp could have awakened its memories?" Chen Chuyang asked curiously.

In this regard, he is not as knowledgeable as Heishanyang; Heishanyang knows many things, and regarding monster beasts, he understands more.

"Awakened memories? That's not very likely." Heishanyang shook their head, denying this possibility.

"Kid, do you really think the little carp's bloodline could possibly inherit memories? Or do you think she is some great being's reincarnation? Before, she had no awakened memories, but after arriving at the Blackwater Dragon Palace, she awakened memories."

"Indeed, after the little carp's bloodline advanced, she became different; her cultivation method changed considerably. Previously, she did not know how to cultivate, nor how to……complete her own transformation; much of the spiritual energy she transformed was largely consumed, while she herself absorbed only a small portion."

"These days, her cultivation has become systematic and very regular."

Chen Chuyang understood the little carp's situation; having not spoken of it before, now speaking up, they simply wanted Heishanyang to analyze it.

Heishanyang fell silent.

Their eyes fixed on the little carp, they kept watching.

After a long while, it still did not speak; no matter how one thought about it, it seemed impossible, for it did not believe the little carp was some great being's reincarnation—if it truly were, then…?

If I had been bullying her all along, and truly gave the little carp an identity and memories, I would surely face retribution.

But, according to what Chen Chuyang said, awakened memories is the greatest possibility; Heishanyang was unwilling to believe, the facts lay before them, and after looking for a while, Heishanyang said: "Kid, are you sure she hasn't been possessed?"

"What do you think?" Chen Chuyang glanced at Heishanyang with a half-smile; Heishanyang knew Chen Chuyang too well—when uncertain, he would not say such things, nor remain so calm.

Being able to make him so calm, that must indeed be true.

The wait was lengthy.

Three days passed in a flash; they remained still, keeping absolute silence. During this time, Chen Chuyang began observing the white jade coffin and also attempted to communicate with the presence inside.

Heishanyang stayed beside the little carp, guaranteeing her safety at all times.

When it comes to play, it's play; when it comes to mischief, it's mischief; but on important matters, Heishanyang will not be muddled nor act recklessly.

Chen Chuyang arrived in midair, facing the presence within the white jade coffin—a beautiful woman lay there, seeming truly dead.

Within her body, a decaying aura was suppressed, somewhat lighter than that inside Ao Zhong's body, yet her situation was not optimistic; severely wounded, she could no longer restrain the decaying aura within her.

Years of suppression had pushed her body to its limit.

"Ao Zhong's sister, the true master of the Blackwater Dragon Palace, turns out to be such a beautiful woman."

"Tsk tsk, no wonder Ao Zhong wanted to betroth you to me—you are truly outstanding; anyone who sees you will be bewitched by you."

"How could the Kunpeng Guardian bring itself to strike? Such a beautiful woman, to kill her like this—what a pity."

Having said that, Chen Chuyang still reached out to touch the white jade coffin, having agreed to Ao Zhong's request and intending to follow through; as for what the woman inside the coffin thinks or does, he does not care.

Whatever he promises, he will find a way to accomplish.

He drew out the decaying aura from within the white jade coffin, along with other auras; Chen Chuyang accepted whatever came.

He increased the intensity of the extraction; he greatly enjoyed this state, his body growing stronger in every aspect.

Chen Chuyang greatly liked this situation; the primordial true qi devoured the various auras entering his body, which also contained monster power, true dragon monster power, likewise devoured—he accepted whatever came.

The white jade coffin's color gradually returned to that of white jade, the black on it being gradually cleared away.

Immediately thereafter, Chen Chuyang began to draw out the decaying aura from within the woman's body, along with other auras; any anomalous aura was extracted.

The woman inside twitched her eyelashes, as if about to wake up.
