Chapter 684: It Actually... Cracked!

Only to see, the red aura had already reached the space between the ninth and tenth segment!

Nine and a half!

What does this mean?

This means Ye Qingran's bloodline is now equal to that of the current Yun Tribe Clan Leader Yun Batian!

Yun Luo feels like she's almost suffocating!

Who on earth is this woman?

A bloodline of the Yun Tribe this extraordinary could not have stayed silent for so many years...

Could it be...

Yun Luo suddenly has an epiphany, a guess surfaces in her mind, making her feel as if she were struck by electricity.

"It's her..."

The red aura continues to rise.

There is a clear trend to dye the whole white Blood Jade Pillar completely red!

Numb!

Numb!

Numb!

For the citizens of Donghai Cheng, after the massive shock, only numbness remains!

It seems they can accept the red aura reaching the top.

The massive crowd is now silent, all moving in unison, looking up at the Blood Jade Pillar.

From a distance, the Blood Jade Pillar looks almost like a red column emitting crimson light; aside from a speck of white at the top, it is almost entirely red!

"This is... the pace of reaching the summit!"

Now, the disciples of Shenzhou Academy are shocked.

Because they already knew that Ye Qingran's birth mother is Yun Ling, they had long held an expectation; they were not surprised before, but when the red aura of the Blood Jade Pillar surpassed nine and a half segments without showing signs of stopping, their expressions grew serious.

Could Instructor Ye's Yun Tribe bloodline also be at ten segments like her mother?

If that's true, the events of over twenty years ago may repeat.

Nan Yin Zhou will surely quake again!

In an instant, their hearts fluttered a thousand times, beating rapidly.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, the blood-red aura finally surged to the peak.

Ten segments!

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

Those present, especially the citizens of Donghai Cheng, felt as if time had rewound to over twenty years ago.

The Yun Tribe's once most esteemed lady Yun Ling, in front of the Blood Jade Pillar in Yunzhong City, detected a ten-segment ultra-high bloodline, dazzling all of Yunzhong City, causing Nan Yin Zhou to quake.

Time passes.

More than twenty years later, an unremarkable young woman emerging from the Central Region replicated that scene.

Only the location changed from Yunzhong City to Donghai Cheng.

But that doesn't matter.

Time will remember this moment.

History will remember this moment.

Countless citizens of Donghai Cheng will remember this moment!

After Yun Ling, another full-level Yun Tribe bloodline has been born!

Ye Qingran herself is also in a state of shock.

This outcome is somewhat beyond her expectations.

Under normal circumstances, she could not perfectly replicate Yun Ling's Yun Tribe bloodline unless her father's bloodline is even stronger and more domineering than the Yun Tribe's.

Ye Qingran's gaze flickered slightly.

"What exactly is the background of my cheap father?"

Ye Qingran murmurs softly, feeling extremely curious.

If her father's bloodline is truly strong enough, she should be able to sense it.

Honestly, over the years, she hasn't!

She feels it's entirely due to her own ability, unrelated to her father's bloodline.

"It seems this body still hides secrets I cannot yet fathom!" Ye Qingran speculated to herself.

Crack~

Just as Ye Qingran was dazed, a crisp sound faintly reached her ears.

Ye Qingran snapped back, looked up, and was stunned.

"What's happening?!"

Only to see the previously intact Blood Jade Pillar developing cracks from top to bottom!

Cracks like a spiderweb quickly spread downward, and within a few breaths they reached the base.

The citizens of Donghai Cheng, still reeling from Ye Qingran's ten-segment bloodline revelation, saw the Blood Jade Pillar actually... crack!

"What's going on?"

"What exactly happened? How could the Blood Jade Pillar split?"

The Blood Jade Pillar, which had stood in Donghai Cheng for centuries, how could it just break like that?

Ye Qingran stared straight ahead, speechless to the extreme.

She's about to split open too, alright?

She thought of something, withdrew her hand and stared at the palm of her own hand, realized something, and the corner of her mouth twitched, "No way..."

The next instant...

Bang~

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the Blood Jade Pillar exploded!

That's right—it exploded!

It's as if a bomb had been planted inside.

White fragments shattered in all directions; although such an explosion couldn't possibly harm Ye Qingran, Fu Hanxiu was the first to reach her side, pulling her out of the blast radius, and simultaneously wielded a Barrier to shield the surrounding innocent civilians from the explosion's damage.

When the last fragment fell to the ground, onto the Blood Jade Platform, it was empty.

Looking at the wreckage, everyone opened their mouths wide, evidently quite frightened.

"I didn't expect this thing to be so... fragile," Ye Qingran blinked, looked at Fu Hanxiu, and explained weakly.

She looked just like a child who had done something wrong.

Fu Hanxiu's thin lips under the mask twitched, and he brushed the top of her hair, "Hmm, I know—it's because you're too strong."

Ye Qingran: "......"

I feel like you're making fun of me, but I have no proof.

Xiao Chen looked up at Ye Qingran and said, "Mother, I think this pillar should be made a bit taller—ideally double its height."

Xiao Hu strongly agreed, "Xiao Chen is right; that way Mother won't easily blow it up."

Ye Qingran: "......"

I'm not, I didn't, stop making baseless accusations!

Ye Qingran silently glanced at her hand, thinking, could her Yun Tribe Bloodline be higher than Mother Yun Ling's?

No way?
