Chapter 32: The King's Bloodline
"Senior, why do we sign contracts in a different way than others?" Bing Xuan asked the doubts in his heart as he looked at the ice bush deer in the contract realm.
"Of course it's different, it's not just an ordinary contract we've signed, it's my sacrifice to your soul. In ordinary contracts, if one party dies, the other party will be freed. Soul sacrifice is different, and once you die, I will disappear as well. Icebush Deer said lightly.
"Senior, why are you doing this?
"Yes, how can you be? Why would the bloodline of the king of my ice demon beasts appear in you as a human? I also wondered. But I can't be wrong about the breath in your blood. Our ice beasts are the most united, and once they are identified as kings, they will not betray them for the rest of their lives. Ice Bush Deer said.
"Then, senior, can you tell me who my blood breath resembles from?" Bing Xuan asked.
"Don't be a senior, you give me a name, I have identified you, and I will follow you without regrets in this life. As for the matter of your blood breath, I still need to verify it, and it is not convenient to tell you now. Ice Bush Deer said.
"Okay, senior, since you are an Ice Saint Beast, how about I call you an Ice Saint today?" Bing Xuan asked tentatively.
"Yes, a name is just a title. Ice Bush Deer said.
"By the way, Ice Saint, what can I do for you?" Bing Xuan had always felt that the Ice Saint's sacrifice had made him feel uneasy.
"No, you can just be yourself. By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that our relationship depends on my unilateral sacrifice, so it won't affect you, and you can still subdue your war pet, and of course, if there are willing sacrifices to you, there is no limit to the number. The Ice Saint said.
"Can it still be like this?" Bing Xuan didn't know whether to be happy or worried, the current Ice Saint made him feel uneasy, if there was another one, he didn't know how many living beings would be affected because of himself.
"It's okay, don't keep your heart knotted, we exist to protect the bloodline of the king, and it's my honor to follow in your footsteps today. The Ice Saint said.
Subsequently, Bing Xuan came back to his senses from the spiritual world. When his teammates saw him wake up, they chattered around him and asked him non-stop. Bing Xuan didn't hide it from them, and told them all about the sacrifice, although he still felt like a dream, but the older teammates all showed a natural look.
The group completed their mission and decided to return to the village. Under the effect of the holy medicine Snow Lotus Seed, the Golden Beast and the Ice Saint quickly recovered from their injuries, and the remaining medicinal power not only restored them to their pre-battle state, but also made some progress, but it was not enough for them to break through to the legendary Emperor Beast level.
The Golden Beast clan is very rare, and they are born without using any spells, and only rely on their strong physical bodies and the cultivation methods of the chaotic power passed down from generation to blood. Its unique cultivation method also opened a new window for Qiu Die, who was a martial artist and dealt with the chaotic qi every day, in terms of cultivation.
Bing Xuan and Qiu Die finally rode on their war pets, and Qiu Die gave her Golden Beast the name "Gold", and the Golden Beast also recognized it. Through the unique communication method of the two beasts, Jin Zi also knew about Bing Xuan, and the eyes it looked at Bing Xuan were incredible, and at the same time, he was glad for his good brother and had the great honor of following the king.
The way back was extremely smooth, and they no longer had to worry about the infestation of the demon beasts, they went on a rampage all the way, swaggering through the territory of the powerful demon beasts, all relying on the prestige of the two holy beasts. It used to take more than half a month to travel, but now it only takes ten days to return to the village.
The village chief saw two holy beasts that could speak people, and he was so excited that he almost bowed down to the two holy beasts, and the clansmen all celebrated it. Ice Saint and Jin Zi also enjoyed the feeling of being held up very much, and they both felt that their trip to the human world was beginning to be a little interesting.
In view of the fact that all the members have obtained their own war pets, and their strength has improved rapidly, it is completely possible to start the final plan within the clan, and after the research within the clan, it has been decided to let the team members enjoy the last good time in the village, and the next Holy Ice Festival will hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the remaining four team members and those eligible teenagers in the clan, after the ceremony, the final plan will be opened.
Half a year has passed quickly, and now Bingxuan is already sixteen years old, and he still has a little immature little face, but he has added a lot of fortitude and unyielding, giving people a feeling of youth and old age.
Half a year of calm cultivation had completely saturated Bing Xuan's third spirit bead, and his strength had also reached the peak of a seventh-order mage, and the success of the condensation of the next spirit bead would push him into the realm of an eighth-order mage.
The ancient books in the village can be described as an encyclopedia, covering all aspects of the content, although a little lost, but also a very valuable treasure. However, the ancient books are extremely lacking in the records of cultivation perceptions, and occasionally only one or two keywords are mentioned in some books, but the specific implementation still needs to be explored. Bing Xuan was very helpless about this, but there was no way, perhaps, the children in the outside world were much stronger than themselves, even if their talents were different, but their different cultivation methods from the Ice Clan, coupled with a comprehensive cultivation guide, would definitely make rapid progress. If Bing Xuan knew that even if he was released to the outside world, he would be enough to run rampant at his age, I don't know what he would think.
The Holy Ice Festival is here again, and the Ice Clan has taken out all their reserves, and they are luxurious and extravagant in the small mountain village. The high-ranking members of the clan who had never shown up also attended the solemn ceremony of the Holy Ice Festival, perhaps this had something to do with the upcoming coming-of-age ceremony.
Leaving the passionate clansmen to congratulate each other in the village, the old patriarch organized Bingxuan and other teenagers who were about to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony to the ancestral hall in the village.
Bing Xuan and the others entered the ancestral hall and saw three other children of the same age as themselves, and some of them were the four senior leaders of the clan's old dragon bell. Although the status of the old patriarch is the highest within the clan, but now in the Ice Clan, which is in a critical moment, everything is decided by the old patriarch and these four high-level elders. After all, the slightest mistake will put the whole clan in a situation from which they will never recover.
"Well, kids, you know what you're doing here today. Today is the coming-of-age ceremony for the seven of you, because this coming-of-age ceremony is different from the past, so the four elders of the clan also came to watch the ceremony in person, so this will be an unforgettable experience for you. Of course, my next announcement will be remembered by you for the rest of your life. The old patriarch said calmly.
"Of course, at the beginning of the ceremony, I still have to talk about the tragic experience of our Ice Clan. Back then, our Holy Capital Ice City was surrounded by the rebels of the Four Clans, and our contemporary Ice Emperor ordered my Ancient Cloud City to carry all the shadow guards to escort our Ice Clan, old and young, to break through and escape, and finally after damaging most of the Penumbral Guards, we were able to escape. In order to build such a small mountain village and stabilize the surrounding living environment, the remaining members of our shadow guard began a bloody struggle with the demon beasts, and the few remaining shadow guard members sacrificed a lot, and finally won our stable life for so many years. The old patriarch recalled the tragic battle of the year and said leisurely.
"Now, our latest information about the outside world is that our Imperial Capital Ice City has been sealed by ice crystals, and our Ice Emperor is unknown and his whereabouts are unknown. However, the faith of our Ice Clan has not collapsed, our desperate struggle has seen the future today, our princess was safely escorted here by us back then, and our next Ice Emperor has finally grown up today. The old patriarch said with an impassioned expression.
