Chapter 106: Ancient Divine Blood and the True Method

The small expedition from Stone Village that had gone out for training was hurrying back toward the village, and the group of youths in the party kept eyeing the mysterious outsider walking together with Uncle Pillar.

"Shou Hou, who do you think is stronger, that person or Uncle Pillar?"

A youngster whispered to a slightly older companion beside him.

The one called Shou Hou, who was actually not thin at all but as bulky as a small hill, kept his companion's gaze shifting between his own Uncle Pillar and the outsider, and finally sighed, pretending to have a sudden insight.

"I think Uncle Pillar definitely can't beat him; didn't you see Uncle Pillar constantly smiling at him?"

"What's wrong with smiling?"

The youngster asked, puzzled.

The boy named Shou Hou glanced at him and hummed:

"Uncle Pillar only smiles like that when he sees the clan elder; it shows he's scared."

"Mr. Meteor, sorry to embarrass you; a few kids are being immature and babbling."

At the front of the group, the middle‑aged man wore a dark expression and gave Zhou Yang an awkward smile.

Zhou Yang, who went by the alias Meteor, smiled and shook his head.

"No problem; that's how a youngster's nature should be."

"That's what Mr. Meteor said."

The middle‑aged man Shi Zhu laughed in agreement.

His expression shifted, as if he were wrestling with something.

After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and cautiously spoke to Zhou Yang:

"Mr. Meteor, you are a powerful cultivator who must have encountered many sects; may I ask you for a favor?"

"Of course. It won't be a thankless favor; our village will prepare a substantial gift for you."

"Oh?"

Zhou Yang looked at him, gave no answer, and simply asked curiously, "First, tell me, what do you want me to help with?"

Seeing that he hadn't outright refused, the middle‑aged man relaxed his nervousness a bit and continued:

"I heard Mr. Meteor say you're heading to Luoshui City; could I trouble you to escort a person there?"

"Escort someone? Is it the youngster named Shi Dong?"

Zhou Yang's Spiritual Thought Power constantly enveloped the surroundings, and he had already noticed the middle‑aged man's particular attention toward one of the youths in the party.

"Mr. Meteor, your insight is sharp; it's indeed that child."

The middle‑aged man nodded and sighed:

"Shi Dong is the only person in the village who has awakened using Complete Ancient Divine Blood; he should have radiated brilliance, but it's a pity."

The middle‑aged man kept sighing as he spoke, but Zhou Yang could no longer take in the rest of his words.

He keenly caught a key phrase in the man's words—'Ancient Divine Blood'!

It was exactly what his current Cultivation Mission required to find!

"Ancient Divine Blood Awakening"

Zhou Yang murmured to himself, yet his face remained impassive.

"Brother Shi just said Shi Dong should have shone brilliantly; what happened afterward, any problem?"

He asked in a seemingly casual manner.

"It's indeed a pity when you think about it."

The middle‑aged man Shi Zhu sighed again, then began to explain:

"Shi Dong's father was the most gifted of our generation; although he awakened with a Divine Blood Fragment, it was the extremely rare Brain Divine Repository, granting him the qualification to become a Spirit‑taming Divine Envoy."

"Because of that, a distinguished figure in Luoshui City took notice of him, and he successfully joined a cultivation sect there."

"Later, when Shi Dong was born, his father spent a great fortune to secure a chance for a Complete Divine Blood awakening for him."

"It was originally arranged that after Shi Dong completed his awakening, he would be taken into the sect for cultivation, but then—"

He kept shaking his head as he spoke, sighing:

"Who could have known that after that, his father vanished without a trace; it's been nearly ten years now, and I've heard the sects in Luoshui City have been constantly battling, perhaps..."

He didn't continue, but Zhou Yang already understood his meaning.

He was just a bit curious.

"Since Luoshui City is so dangerous, why ask me to take him there?"

"It's to practice the True Method."

The middle‑aged man gave a wry smile, "Shi Dong has a Complete Divine Blood awakening; he must cultivate the True Method to fully unleash the Divine Blood's power, and this True Method is only passed down by the great sects of Luoshui City."

"But Luoshui City is far away, the road is fraught with dangers, our village has only a few Star Level awakenings, and we must constantly guard against beast attacks; we really can't risk a journey for a single child."

He looked at Zhou Yang, his gaze a little uneasy.

"I heard you just said you're heading to the nearest city, so I took the liberty of asking."

"The True Method, and that Ancient Divine Blood—there are actually distinctions between Complete Divine Blood and Blood Fragment."

Listening to his account, Zhou Yang felt a spark of interest.

It sounded like a cultivation system unique to this world.

Referencing Luo Feng's experiences in the Blood Luo World missions and his own mission requirements, perhaps the true secret of this world lies hidden within the so‑called Ancient Divine Blood.

Having gleaned information relevant to his mission, his mood was excellent.

After a brief thought, he nodded and agreed.

"I can take him, but to be honest, I don't know anyone in Luoshui City; at most I can get him to the place, but beyond that I fear I can't help."

The reason he agreed to the middle‑aged man's request was largely to better conceal his own movements.

As an outsider, his words and actions inevitably differ slightly from the locals, and traveling alone would easily draw attention.

If there were a controllable "local" nearby to provide cover, it should greatly reduce the risk of exposure.

"Thank you, Mr. Meteor; that's fine, the rest now depends on this child's fate!"

Upon hearing Zhou Yang's definite reply, the middle‑aged man became extremely excited, repeatedly clasping his hands in thanks.

Zhou Yang followed the squad as they marched out of the forest.

Even the weakest of these youths have an Awakening of a segment (Planet Level Tier 1) of power, and they move at a very high speed.

In just about an hour, they completely emerged from that dense ancient forest.

A small village nestled against the mountain appeared in their sight.

Zhou Yang declined the middle‑aged man's request for lingering hospitality, and simply took a detailed map of the Luoshui City surroundings from his hand.

Then he stayed no longer; Spiritual Thought Power enveloped the boy called Shi Dong, who instantly shot upward and left.

The middle‑aged man watched his departing back, his face showing a look of relief.

"Indeed it's Silver Moon Level. Sigh, I hope this child Xiao Dong's journey can smoothly join a sect."

Luoshui City of the Great Universe Nation is an ancient city in the world of the Ruins Ancient God Temple.

As the center within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers, Luoshui City's walls alone stand three hundred meters tall, and its length stretches continuously, with no end in sight.

At Luoshui City's gate, a group of fierce soldiers clad in scale armor guard the entrance, collecting 'tribute money' from passing pedestrians.

A black‑haired youth wearing beast‑skin clothing and bearing a dark Long Spear led a slightly frail boy forward.

After handing a purple round square‑holed treasure coin to the gate soldiers, the two entered Luoshui City's ancient gate very smoothly.
