Xu Zhangqing

The moment Black Water wrapped around Bei Qingtang, she could feel a vast power of the Xuan River surging into her body, attempting to nourish her bloodline and raise its purity.

But unexpectedly, her bloodline, diluted over ten thousand years, had long become incomparably thin.

The current one percent Xuan River Spirit Clan bloodline had only barely condensed by relying on absorbing the bloodlines of other Luo River Bei Clan members, making it impure and utterly unable to bear this vast power of the Xuan River.

At first, Bei Qingtang could barely suppress the bloodline power within her body.

But as more and more source power surged in, her body began to show abnormalities.

Her meridians were struck by sharp pain, as if countless fine needles were piercing her, and black markings like corpse spots gradually appeared on her skin, spreading from her limbs to her chest.

She couldn't help but tremble all over, and a thread of black blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

The black blood slid down the corner of her mouth, dripping into the surging Black Water below, stirring up tiny ripples.

The sharp pain in her meridians surged back repeatedly like a tide.

Those black markings like corpse spots had already spread to her chest.

The yin-cold aura eroded her divine soul along her bloodline, leaving Bei Qingtang almost unable to hold on, her consciousness beginning to blur.

Just then, a "rustling" sound rang out.

That strange insect bearing the will of Wu Sheng Chong Mu appeared at some point on the shoulder of a bronze statue, its crimson compound eyes coldly staring at Bei Qingtang: "As expected, you're still lacking."

Hearing the voice, Bei Qingtang abruptly raised her head, her gaze tightly fixed on the insect, her voice hoarse as she said: "I... I can persist... I will definitely succeed."

"As long as I can unlock the shackles of the Yin River, as long as I let the Bei Clan return to its peak, this bit of pain means nothing!"

Her voice trembled, but was full of obsession.

Even if her whole body was in agony and her bloodline was in disorder, even if she was eroded by the curse, she would not give up.

To put it plainly, this was Bei Qingtang's only hope, the only meaning of her survival.

The insect's crimson compound eyes flickered slightly, and the voice of Wu Sheng Chong Mu rang out again, carrying a trace of indifference: "Although you indeed unlocked the shackles here, doing so comes at a price."

"With your cultivation of a mere Inferior Nascent Soul, and your impure bloodline, after exhausting all your strength to unlock the shackles of this entrance, you have only fifty years of lifespan left."

"Fifty years?"

Upon hearing this, Bei Qingtang was struck as if by lightning, the determination in her eyes replaced by shock, even carrying a trace of unbelievable bewilderment, she opened her mouth: "How could... I am also a member of the Xuan River Spirit Clan!"

"I also possess the bloodline of the Xuan River Spirit Clan!"

"Why has this happened?"

In her understanding, the bloodline of the Xuan River Spirit Clan was supreme.

But unexpectedly, this bloodline not only failed to bring hope, but instead took away life.

"Because your bloodline is not pure."

The voice of Wu Sheng Chong Mu remained indifferent, each word like ice, striking Bei Qingtang's pain point: "That bit of Xuan River Spirit Clan bloodline in your body, diluted over ten thousand years, has long been a name without substance."

"This current one percent was only barely condensed by relying on absorbing the bloodlines of other Luo River Bei Clan members, truly impure."

"Unlocking the shackles is not liberation for you, but a curse."

"Think carefully, what should you do with the remaining fifty years?"

Bei Qingtang froze in place, her gaze bewildered as she looked at her hands covered in black markings, the words "only fifty years of lifespan left" echoing repeatedly in her mind.

All the strength in her body was drained in an instant, black blood continued to drip from the corner of her mouth, and the obsession in her eyes was gradually replaced by bewilderment: "I... only have fifty years of lifespan left?"

Fifty years, too short.

So short that she couldn't unlock the shackles of the Yin River in time, so short that she couldn't let the Bei Clan return to its peak in time, so short that she couldn't even complete her lifelong obsession.

Seeing her lost and dejected appearance, the insect was too lazy to stay any longer, its body moved slightly, transforming into a black shadow, disappearing into the dim depths of the Yin River, leaving only an indifferent voice echoing in the air: "If I were you, I'd find someone to marry before I die, at least leaving behind a bloodline."

"Perhaps, the child could awaken the true Xuan River Spirit Clan bloodline, fulfilling your obsession."

This sentence pierced Bei Qingtang's heart like a needle.

At this moment, the Black Water Xuan Snake beside her suddenly let out an anxious hiss, its huge body coiling around, tightly protecting her inside.

Bei Qingtang slightly regained her senses, lowering her head to look at the Black Water Xuan Snake coiling around her, only to see its vertical pupils full of worry, seemingly perceiving her Master's desperate situation.

Before Bei Qingtang could react, the Black Water Xuan Snake suddenly opened its large mouth, spitting out a mouthful of golden life-blood essence, immediately after, its huge body glowed with blood light, its body beginning to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From a hundred zhang suddenly shrinking to fifty zhang, then transforming into ten zhang, and still shrinking.

The Black Water Xuan Snake stripped away its Xuan River power and bloodline source bit by bit, transforming it into a pure power, surging into her Master's body.

Roar!

The Black Water Xuan Snake let out a painful hiss, but still did not stop.

Its body became smaller and smaller, as if it would dissipate in this Yin River in the next second.

One person and one snake had accompanied each other for many years, long no longer contract partners, but the only concern.

It was willing to use everything of its own, even its life, to exchange for a glimmer of life for its Master.

Bei Qingtang could feel a warm power surging into her body, the black markings spreading all over her body fading somewhat, the sharp pain in her meridians also easing accordingly, the chaotic bloodline within her body beginning to become stable.

The power of the Xuan Snake not only offset part of the curse, but also nourished her flesh body and divine soul imperceptibly, and along with it, her cultivation increased.

This was equivalent to the Black Water Xuan Snake giving up its own life, transforming into pure bloodline power, forever merging into Bei Qingtang's flesh and blood, intertwining with her Xuan River bloodline, becoming a part of her body.

After a moment, the body of the Black Water Xuan Snake became transparent, finally transforming into a wisp of faint light, completely surging into Bei Qingtang's body, disappearing completely.

Only in the air did a trace of the Xuan Snake's aura remain, proving it had once existed.

Bei Qingtang slowly raised her hand, feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar power within her body, feeling the aura left behind by the Xuan Snake, her eye sockets slightly reddening.

She opened her mouth, but could not make any sound.

Tears slid down her cheeks, mingling with the black blood at the corner of her mouth, and dripped into the water.

She sensed her lifespan and discovered it had extended to a hundred years.

Yet, Bei Qingtang felt not a shred of joy in her heart, only endless unwillingness.

The Xuan Snake had used its own life to wrest fifty more years for her.

But a mere hundred years was still too short, still unable to fulfill the obsession in her heart.

"Xuan Snake..."

"Grandfather..."

"My life has been so bitter!"

Deep in the Yin River, the black water surged.

Those activated stone statues and bronze statues stood quietly to the side, silently watching this solitary descendant of the Xuanhe Spirit Clan!
