The golden sword intent circled around Ye Yuyan guiding the Blood Qi like a general leading its army. Nesilia struggled to stand up now that the aura dissipated, she stood up and waited behind Ye Yuyan.
Ye Yuyan took the first step into the temple, the walls of the temple had inscriptions all along them. The first was of a little boy with a black and white blood drop on his forehead. The little boy was playing in a village with an older man and woman.
Nesilia stared at the inscriptions with wonder as she tried to comprehend them. But before she could look too long, Ye Yuyan continued to walk forward. The temple was dimly lit, with the only major light source coming from outside.
But as they walked further torches on the wall would light up with a blood flame illuminating the walls. The next section of the wall was a young man dressed in white robes, with a white and black blood drop on his forehead.
He was atop a massive stage in a coliseum, in the stands were thousands of people cheering. The young man was in combat against a white tiger with a three sword marks on its forehead. Looking at the mural, Nesilia felt as though the vivid battle were commencing right now.
"Don't linger too long, keep walking." Ye Yuyan said with his back turned to her, his gaze was completely focused in front of him. Nesilia heeded his words as she looked forward with him. They walked a few more meters reaching the end of the temple.
At the very end of it was a red throne made from stone embroidered with a sea along its side. Above the throne on the wall behind it was the final mural. It was that of the young from earlier grabbing a massive serpent by its head and devouring it.
The scene of which left Nesilia panicked, she could tell that the serpent was a powerful demon. One that easily surpassed Illathar! The young man's gaze seemed to pierce through time and space and landing on Nesilia.
She could feel her blood go backward at that moment as if wanting to rush out of her body. Around the throne was a remnant blood aura that lingered from an immemorial era. Even though it had mostly dissipated it still had the tyranny from the past.
'Was this the source of the aura, this throne?' Nesilia questioned in her mind not daring to utter a single word.
"Go sit on the throne." Ye Yuyan commanded Nesilia as her thoughts drifted.
"What?" She said with a horrified expression.
"Go sit on the throne." He said again with a colder expression, looking into Ye Yuyan's dark eyes left Nesilia fearful in her heart. She gritted her teeth and squeezed her fists before decisively walking towards the clone.
The Blood Qi around the throne was much thicker than the auras they dealt with before. It was on the precipice of forming into something corporeal. Nesilia easily got in front of the Red Throne and slowly sat down on it.
The Blood Qi at that moment started to coil and writhe as it shot into Nesilia. Nesilia was ready to escape but then she felt no danger from the Qi.
It entered her body going through her bloodstream, suddenly her body started to hum to the melody of the grand dao. Around her appeared hundreds of golden lotus and immortal pavilions.
'This should activate her bloodline.' Ye Yuyan thought contemplatively as he watched Nesilia's every move carefully.
After a few more moments in the red light, Nesilia's body automatically flew off the red throne and landed in front of Ye Yuyan. Her eyes flashed with holy and untouchable light as divine powers awoke in her bloodline.
Nesilia stood up from the red throne, from her blood a white aura emerged. It was a pure and stainless aura that surpassed her comprehension. Even the Blood Qi surrounding the throne was pushed back by the stainless aura.
"This power...what is it?" She asked as she looked at her palms which were constantly radiating a white force.
"You've read your ancestral canon correct?" Ye Yuyan asked as if hinting towards something. Suddenly enlightenment passed through Nesilia's eyes. She felt gripped with both excitement and terror as she realized what was happening.
"Chaste Divine body!" She said excitedly as she scanned her body.
"Haha, you're not quite there yet." Ye Yuyan teased as he approached her, unlike the Blood Qi he had no trouble getting near her. He stood right in front of her close to her face as if examining her making Nesilia's face flushed with embarrassment.
"But I do feel some repulsion, meaning you've condensed an initial stage Chaste Body." Ye Yuyan said as he shook his head.
"That will have to do." He said as he reached into his robes and took out a black dagger.
"Cut your finger and give me a drop of your blood." He commanded as he handed her a dagger.
Nesilia felt a rebellious streak journey through her body as she gained confidence from her new found power.
But then she met Ye Yuyan's cold and evil gaze, his eyes threatened to devour her if she didn't cooperate. She gritted her teeth grabbing the dagger and slicing her pointer finger slightly.
Ye Yuyan tapped the air releasing a Blood Qi towards her finger capturing the emerging blood. The blood qi turned completely white as the divine aura cleansed it. It was as though they were natural enemies unable to be reconciled.
Ye Yuyan summoned another blood qi and shot it out of the temple. It left a red trail as it slammed open the temple doors and swished down the stairs and forced open the barrier.
"Go find Alister and Maven, they'll have something for you to do." Ye Yuyan coldly said as he approached the red throne with the Divine Qi in his left hand.
"What about you? What are you doing?" Nesilia asked as she started to walk out following the red trail.
"None of your concern." Ye Yuyan coldly said and suddenly a red wind took Nesilia's body and shot her out of the temple. She felt her body lurched and tumble all the way until she was at the bottom of the stairs to the temple.
She got up to leave and walked to the gate. But before she left she glanced back at the temple for a moment and suddenly she saw a pair of red lightning wings stretched out into the firmament. They had a sort of macabre beauty to them as they stretched according to a natural principle.
She was quick to exit the gate and suddenly the barrier was up again. But the sight of those wings left an indelible mark in Nesilia's heart.
************************
A whole month had passed since Ye Yuyan entered Heaven's Realm. He spent most of his time in the blood temple meditating on some matters. But occasionally he would call Maven, Alister, and Nesilia to direct them personally. Their cultivations improved leaps and bounds from his casual teaching.
As he proceeded with his plans in the blood plains. On the aquatic plateau, hundreds of lakes started to ripple as if something were awakening. From the sky shot down hundreds of blue lights leaving a trail of frost.
The blue lights flew down onto the plateau near a lake, each of the lights transformed into a white-robed warrior with blue Qi circling around them.
At the forefront of all the blue lights was a black-haired man dressed in a thick black armor that looked like a hide. His helmet had two dog heads which each shined with killing intent. Next to him was a knight dressed in rusty copper armor, on his back was a longsword that stretched to the ground.
Lastly, the first in front of the two was a young woman dressed in white robes. Embroidered on the back of the robes was a moon. She had a transcendent demeanor that made one capitulate involuntarily.
The moment they stepped onto the aquatic plateau, hundreds of blue auras came and circled around them as if welcoming them.
The white-robed lady walked forward going to the nearest lake, which had Aquatic Qi dancing towards the center. She stepped on the water and with graceful steps approached the Aquatic Qi.
She tapped one of the Qis and suddenly it started to shake. The blue light peeled away and what was a revealed was a little blue pixie with a childlike smile.
"Child of the Pixie king, we come from the Lunar Palace." The white-robed lady said respectfully to the pixie. The pixie's blue eyes shined with a bit of embarrassment before it replied.
"Wel...uhh....welcome!" The pixie replied hesitantly, in this world, there are two big threats to humanity: Demons and Fey.
Pixies were a type of fey and fey are related deeply to one another by a hierarchy of bloodline. All fey can be traced back to one ancestor who created them all and for pixie's, it was the Pixie king. The white-robed lady wryly smiled, she hadn't expected much as this pixie was just a child.
"Bring us to the plateau's kingdom." She said respectfully, the pixie was quick to catch on. She flitted her tiny wings and started to fly.
Her high speeds left blue afterimages as if she hadn't even been there. Pixies were known for having two great powers, they had a high affinity with the power of nature, and they were known for being extremely fast.
The white-robed lady followed behind easily with her companions coming behind her. It took at best a few moments before they approached a city atop a massive lake.
There were 10,000 lakes on this plateau but they were nothing compared to this lake, it was called the superior lake due to its immense size. At the center of the lake was a massive castle that stretched almost into the void. It stood unfazed as the turbulent waves tried to rock it.
The man dressed in the two-headed dog helmet stood next to the white-robed woman as the slowly flew over the lake with the pixie guiding them.
"Su Xinyue, when can I search for my mistress?" He asked in a cold tone as if hinting towards something.
After a tense moment of thinking the white-robed lady replied: "Xia Yunyi, I am not holding you back."
"But if you wish to leave now, you'll jeopardize your lady's safety." She continued to say, Xia Yunyi closed his mouth as if satisfied for the time being.
The man in bronze armor said nothing as he watched the exchange between the two. Su Xinyue looked back for a moment throwing a glance at the bronze man.
The pixie, white-robed lady, and her companions all turned into blue beams of light as they entered into the pixie city there bodies shrinking down to tiny proportions.
