Ehhh...
"What do you mean, kid?" Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the shadowy figure, who claimed to be the remnant soul of the Ye family ancestor, was shocked.
What do you mean, just awakened his golden core? Isn't his bone age already in his early twenties?
"I'm not lying, it's true. Since birth, I've never been able to awaken my golden core, and today I've finally awakened it within me," Ye Xiao said, not hiding anything from the old shadowy figure.
"What...? Are you for real? How could that be? Are you trying to lie to me?" The old figure was shocked. He narrowed his eyes, trying to assess Ye Xiao's realm. When he found a clue, he assumed Ye Xiao was lying again.
"Look, your realm has reached the fourth stage of Qi Refining," the old figure continued.
"I... I'm not lying, it's true. I just awakened my golden core, and after that, I suddenly broke through several levels," Ye Xiao said honestly.
Hmmm...
The old shadow stared at Ye Xiao, feeling as though he wasn't hiding anything.
"Hmm, could that be true? Could it be because a large amount of energy has condensed in your body, directly allowing you to break through successive levels?" Thinking that Ye Xiao was telling the truth, the old shadow began to think and then expressed his suspicions to Ye Xiao.
"Hmm, could that be possible?" Ye Xiao murmured in confusion. He had been trying to awaken his golden core all this time. He had even tried his best to sense and absorb natural energy like other cultivators, hoping that by doing so, he would be able to induce the golden core in his body to condense and form. But no matter how hard he tried, he felt unable to do so. Therefore, he doubted the old shadow's opinion.
"Hmm, you didn't realize it either?" Seeing the confusion on Ye Xiao's face, the old shadow hesitated, but he quickly realized that time was running out and he had to do what he had to do.
"Ahh never mind, let's just get to the point, you are my chosen bloodline, so you have the right to get the treasures I left behind, these treasures are the Ye family's heirlooms." While saying that, the glowing stone suddenly shattered.
Ehh..
Ye Xiao was shocked by the sudden destruction of the rock, but the next moment Ye Xiao's eyes immediately changed.
In front of him, a sword with an elegant appearance appeared, and the sword emitted an aura that made Ye Xiao feel his blood boil.
"What sword is that?". Ye Xiao immediately asked in surprise.
"Hehe kid, that is your ancestor's sword, it's called the blood sword, and in this blood sword both my blood and the blood of all my descendants have an attachment to this sword, that's why the blood in your body right now must feel it, right?" Said the old shadow figure.
"Hmm, if that's the case, isn't this sword very dangerous? Especially for the Ye family, why did you make a sword like that?"
At this moment, Ye Xiao's doubts about the shadow's identity began to diminish. He wondered if he was truly the Ye family ancestor, and why he would create this blood sword, which would undoubtedly harm the Ye family itself.
However, Ye Xiao felt that his blood bond with the sword was incredibly strong, and he could also sense that the blood sword could harm him at any moment.
"Hehe, it's not entirely like that. I originally created this blood sword to control the Ye clan because the Ye clan was too rebellious. Furthermore, it was with the blood sword that the Ye clan has survived to this day. It's just that I haven't found a suitable descendant to pass it on to future generations. Since you've arrived here, you should have been personally chosen by this blood sword," the old shadow explained to Ye Xiao.
Eh, is that really the case?
Hearing this explanation, Ye Xiao suddenly had a thought. If this really was the Ye family's ancestral blood sword, wouldn't it be possible for him to control all the Ye family members if he possessed it and returned to the Ye family residence?
Seeing Ye Xiao's doubts, the shadow spoke again.
"Child, if you return to the Ye family, you will be able to control the entire Ye family with their blood. Even the strongest. Unless someone can awaken a sacred golden core, this blood sword will suppress them all." The figure said, not knowing what Ye Xiao had experienced or what his circumstances were in the Ye family, but the figure didn't care and tried to persuade Ye Xiao to accept this blood sword.
But the old shadow figure's words shocked Ye Xiao again.
"What? Is that a sacred golden core? This sword means nothing to him?" Ye Xiao asked in surprise.
"What do you mean, kid? Could it be that someone in the Ye family has awakened a sacred golden core?" Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the old shadow figure was also shocked. It was clear from his words that someone in the Ye family had awakened a sacred golden core.
"Yes, that's him. He's my brother who always bullied me," Ye Xiao said with a gloomy expression.
"Wow, my descendant, my descendant is truly extraordinary."
In contrast to Ye Xiao's gloomy expression, the old shadow figure showed admiration and joy at learning that one of his descendants had awakened a sacred golden core.
Even the old shadowy figure wondered why the blood sword hadn't chosen him to inherit it. However, the old shadowy figure felt that there might be something about Ye Xiao that made the blood sword choose him. After all, the blood sword wasn't actually his creation, and it also possessed its own consciousness. Even the ancestors of the Ye family didn't know the origin of this blood sword. Judging from this, it was likely that Ye Xiao was no less interesting than the Ye family members who had awakened the sacred golden core.
Seeing the old shadowy figure praise Ye Fan, Ye Xiao's expression grew even gloomier, and he then asked, "What exactly is so great about this sacred golden core?" Ye Xiao asked, knowing that this sacred golden core was extraordinary.
