Biting her lip tightly, Xun'er's gem-like eyes shimmered with a hint of brilliance: "Silly, if you really reach Dou Di, any woman on this continent will be yours to choose from."
After they leaned on each other for a long time, Xun'er finally rested against Xiao Yan's warm chest and slowly said, "Brother Xiao Yan, the family Xun'er belongs to is called the Ancient Clan, one of the Ancient Families, passed down from the Ancient Era to the present."
Xiao Yan listened quietly. He knew a lot about these things, but hearing the girl in his arms recount them firsthand was a completely different experience, with a strong sense of reality.
"The First Generation Clan Leader of the Ancient Families all reached the Dou Di rank, and powerhouses who reach this level will have changes in their Descendant Bloodlines."
When mentioning the words Dou Di, even a girl with Xun'er's elegant temperament spoke with an undisguised reverence, a respect for the Supreme Powerhouses of this world.
"Although they are still human, in terms of cultivation, they possess unique talents. Some lucky ones can even inherit some of the Dou Di's abilities from their Bloodline, but this situation is extremely rare and entirely depends on personal fortune."
"The Ancient Clan is also one of them."
Xiao Yan very appropriately asked, "Then why did Xun'er come to my Xiao Family?"
Xun'er softly said, "The Xiao Family was once also one of the Ancient Families, but unfortunately, as the years passed, it gradually declined, and now, no one knows of the clan's former glory..."
During their conversation, Xun'er briefly introduced the past between the Ancient Clan and the Xiao Clan, and told Xiao Yan the name of the Xiao Clan's Peerless Powerhouse—Xiao Xuan!
And after some groundwork, Xun'er said seriously, "The flame mark on Brother Xiao Yan's brow is very similar to the Clan Pattern of the Ancient Families. This is a very strange thing."
"The Clan Pattern is passed down from ancient times and can temporarily cause the Dou Di Bloodline within the body to surge, thereby turning danger into safety. Generally, one is only granted the corresponding rank after participating in the Ancient Clan's Adult Ceremony and confirming their Bloodline Level."
"As time passes, the purity of the Dou Di Bloodline within Xiao Family members should be extremely thin, negligible. Even if there's a Bloodline Mutation, there has never been any record of a mutation producing a Clan Pattern."
Xiao Yan sat up and said in a deep voice, "Dou Di Bloodline is not all-powerful. Although it can rapidly increase one's strength, once the Dou Zun realm is reached, the effect of the Dou Di Bloodline will begin to weaken. After stepping into Dou Sheng, it can even become a burden."
Xun'er nodded seriously. The younger generation within the family relied too much on the Dou Di Bloodline, which led to their unstable foundations. Blindly increasing their strength instead bound them to the Dou Di Bloodline.
"Let's go, let's eat something first. Later, I'll need your help with cultivation." Xiao Yan pulled Xun'er up from the grass and walked slowly into the house.
After a meal, the sky gradually darkened. With a single man and woman sharing a room, Xun'er was both nervous and very shy.
Xun'er gently stroked her very excited small chest and said in a pleasant voice, "Brother Xiao Yan, how do you want me to help you?"
"It's very simple, I just need a drop of your blood." Xiao Yan looked at the girl sitting cross-legged on the bed, his expression grave.
"A drop of blood?" Xun'er was truly puzzled; this was too simple.
Xiao Yan briefly explained, "The prosperity and decline of the Ancient Families are inextricably linked to 'blood'. I am no longer considered part of the Ancient Families. Although I also have a passionate heart within me, it has no meaning, but you are different."
If her Bloodline were fully awakened, Xun'er's Dou Di Bloodline could reach Divine Grade, which held significant meaning.
"If I can research more into 'blood', I believe there will be endless wondrous uses," Xiao Yan said with a complex expression.
Compared to the Great Thousand World, the Dou Qi Continent was completely a "novice village."
He was researching Xun'er's blood not to do anything to the Ancient Families.
Rather, he was preparing to achieve an effect that could restrain the Heavenly Evil God through continuous Sublimation Secret Arts.
Although Xiao Yan was very clear in his heart that he was not a good person at all, he did not want his family to be harmed.
The Heavenly Evil God's plan to seize the Great Thousand World destined the Dou Qi Continent to be unable to stay peaceful in its corner. In the future, when he and his family entered the Great Thousand World, they would inevitably stand on opposing sides.
And the terrifying strength of the Heavenly Evil God was not comparable to the Soul Heavenly Emperor of the Dou Qi Continent.
Although Xun'er didn't know exactly what Xiao Yan was going to do, the reasoning was correct. The power of the Ancient Families originated from the Dou Di Bloodline within their bodies.
Taking a gentle breath, Xun'er's jade hand quickly formed several peculiar Seal Incantations, then her fingertip lightly traced across her fair, jade-like wrist.
A bloodstain appeared, and a drop of fresh blood slowly floated out along her jade palm.
As the blood emerged, Xun'er suddenly opened her eyes. Her palm quickly wiped her wrist, and the bleeding immediately stopped. Her originally delicate face turned slightly pale for a moment.
"Silly girl." Xiao Yan raised his hand and flicked Xun'er's pretty nose. For him, with some effort, he could naturally research the same effect from a drop of Xun'er's ordinary blood as from this drop of Essence Blood.
Xun'er shook her head slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Yan, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips, but she did not speak.
"You rest well first. This drop of blood will definitely not be wasted." Xiao Yan raised his hand and took the drop of blood that faintly gleamed with gold.
Even though it was just a drop of blood, Xiao Yan could feel the overbearing energy it contained. If an ordinary person obtained this blood, they might even be injured by such a simple drop of blood.
Xiao Yan focused his perception on the blood in his palm. His extraordinary comprehension quickly led him to an unusual understanding.
This drop of blood was like the final kick before the goal.
[You, based on the utilization of Heavenly Flame in the Flame Spirit Saint Garment production method, combined with your lifelong cultivation experience, deduced and enlightened, you comprehended the Blood Forbidden Seal.]
[Blood Forbidden Seal: Combines some of the effects of the Flame Seal, but is more powerful than the Flame Seal which only stores Dou Qi. It is a powerful Seal Technique that can achieve Bloodline Suppression through Heavenly Flame energy. At the same time, it combines some of the Flame Spirit Saint Garment's use of Heavenly Flame. The Blood Forbidden Seal itself is a Seal Technique, and can also be called a special Formation. What it aims to achieve is to connect the Heavenly Flame within the Dou Qi Cyclone. Simple Dou Qi can activate the full power of the Heavenly Flame, while powerful Dou Qi will bring the Heavenly Flame's power to a new peak to achieve the Formation's effect.]
[Note: The effect of the Blood Forbidden Seal is extremely powerful. If there is enough powerful energy, once activated, anyone with a Special Bloodline within the Formation's shrouded range will suffer immense restraint.]
