But Ye Xiao didn't know how extraordinary the sacred golden core truly was.
"Hehe, kid, this sacred golden core is truly extraordinary. Those who can awaken this sacred golden core will easily break through to the Saint realm. Of course, those who have successfully broken through to the Saint realm don't necessarily possess a sacred golden core. However, those with a sacred golden core will be far stronger than those without one once they reach the Saint realm. Even if they break through to Saint Emperor, they will be a very powerful Saint Emperor, far stronger than other Saint Emperors."
The old figure explained to Ye Xiao with a look of admiration.
Hearing this, Ye Xiao frowned even more. If this continued, wouldn't the gap between him and his younger brother be even greater?
But the old shadowy figure's expression now looked confused. He tried to focus his gaze on Ye Xiao, but he couldn't find any clues.
"You're so strange, kid. Why can't I check your golden core?" This time, the old shadow was surprised that he couldn't examine Ye Xiao's body. Although he was only a remnant soul, at his level, it would have been very easy for him to examine the body of a cultivator of Ye Xiao's caliber. But strangely, he couldn't do anything to him. This proved that there was something strange about Ye Xiao.
"Eh, what do you mean?" Ye Xiao was confused by the shadow's statement.
"Your golden core, what exactly is your golden core? Why can't I examine it?" The old shadow clarified his statement.
"Hmm, if it's like this, can you?"
This time, Ye Xiao tried to channel his energy and aura so the old shadow could perform the examination.
Eh...
But still...
"Son, I still can't." The old shadow became even more surprised. Under normal circumstances, this would only apply to someone at a level far stronger than the old shadow. But the young man in front of him was only in the Qi Refining Realm, yet why couldn't he examine him?
This situation was truly very strange.
Of course, Ye Xiao could easily discern the shape of his own golden core, but he had never seen anything about it in any book about it. He wanted to let the old shadow figure investigate to see if he could get any information about it.
Unfortunately, it seemed like the old shadow figure, who claimed to be the ancestor of the Ye family, couldn't find any clues about Ye Xiao's golden core. No, it wasn't that he didn't know, but he couldn't examine Ye Xiao's body.
Even Ye Xiao himself was confused as to why the old shadow figure couldn't do so.
Could it be that my body is completely different?
Or could it be that this ball of light had re-entered his body?
Ye Xiao began to speculate, but he couldn't find any answers.
He tried to sense the ball of light, but just like before, he couldn't feel it.
Isn't this my body? Why can't I do anything to it?
At this moment, the old shadowy figure understood something and laughed.
"Haha, my descendants are truly extraordinary. One can awaken a sacred golden core, and the other possesses a special ability that even I couldn't discover. Haha, my Ye clan's future will surely be extraordinary."
Hmmm...
Hearing the old shadowy figure's joyful laughter, Ye Xiao remained silent.
In his mind, the Ye family no longer regarded him, so would he need to fight for the Ye family's future? Ye Xiao didn't have such thoughts at the moment.
"Alright, alright, son. Since the blood sword chose you, then the blood sword is now yours. You can truly say that you are now the leader of the Ye family," the old shadowy figure said, and the blood sword that emerged from the broken stone flew towards Ye Xiao.
"This blood sword?" Ye Xiao pondered for a moment, but the blood sword soon arrived right in front of him.
"Boy, this blood sword is no simple sword, nor is it one I made. I don't even know its origins. Please be careful. The point is, this sword is extremely powerful, and I can't even fully control it," the old shadowy figure warned Ye Xiao.
"Its origins are still unclear?" Ye Xiao was confused by the old shadowy figure's words. The next moment, Ye Xiao held the blood sword and suddenly...
Brrr...
The blood sword in Ye Xiao's hand trembled.
Ehhh...
"What's going on?" Ye Xiao was shocked, and he immediately wanted to release the blood sword.
But the blood sword seemed unwilling to leave Ye Xiao's hand.
"Hehehe, this is truly strange. It seems this blood sword is very interested in you, kid." Seeing what was happening to Ye Xiao, the old shadowy figure began to express his suspicions.
Just at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in Ye Xiao's mind.
"Finally... finally, sir, we meet again."
Ehhh...
"Where did that voice come from?"
Ye Xiao was even more surprised by the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind.
"What voice?" Even the old shadow figure was confused by what Ye Xiao said. He himself hadn't heard anything, but Ye Xiao said he heard a strange voice.
"Don't tell me."
Just as Ye Xiao was about to say what he heard, the strange voice reappeared in Ye Xiao's mind, preventing him from saying anything to the old shadow figure.
Ehhh...
Ye Xiao was momentarily at a loss for words, but the few words that came to his mind made Ye Xiao understand something about this blood sword: the origin of the voice in his mind was none other than the sword spirit of this blood sword. Then, Ye Xiao began to communicate with the blood sword spirit, unheard by the outside world, including the old shadow figure. But as Ye Xiao was communicating with the sword spirit of the blood sword, questions rang in Ye Xiao's ears again.
"What is that sound, tell me?" Seeing Ye Xiao remain silent, the old shadow figure asked Ye Xiao again.
