"Whoosh."
Xiao Yuchen swiftly flew out of the gate. At first glance, she recognized the familiar figure standing outside.
"Sovereign Lin, it really is you!" A hint of joy shone in Xiao Yuchen's eyes.
"Old friend, I trust you've been well, Aurora Sovereign?" Lin Fei greeted with a gentle smile, noting her evident excitement. He could tell that she was pleased to see him.
Xiao Yuchen welcomed Lin Fei into the Xiao residence. The two then headed to her personal living quarters. Being a Martial Sovereign, Xiao Yuchen naturally had her own private space. They settled down in her living room.
Curiously, Xiao Yuchen asked, "Sovereign Lin, what brings you to me?"
Not one to beat around the bush, Lin Fei replied, "To be honest, I've come seeking refuge with you." He then briefly explained his issues with the Taiyi Dao Palace. "So, I've come to you for shelter."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuchen smiled warmly, "It's an honor to have Sovereign Lin here. Rest assured, once you're in the Xiao residence, you'll be safe. Not only is the Taiyi Dao Palace unaware of your presence here, but even if they did, they wouldn't dare to act."
She spoke confidently, "The Taiyi Dao Palace is indeed impressive, being of the Nascent Soul lineage. But our Xiao Family is also formidable, hailing from the Martial King lineage. The Taiyi Dao Palace wouldn't dare to cause trouble on our turf unless they had a Nascent Soul Great Being overseeing them. But since they lack such a figure, we of the Martial King lineage have nothing to fear."
"I'm grateful for your protection," Lin Fei paused, then inquired, "Aurora Sovereign, have you awakened your bloodline yet?"
Regrettably, Xiao Yuchen replied, "No, I have yet to awaken it. My last venture into the Blood Pool didn't result in its awakening. Without the pool, the awakening becomes even more challenging."
Lin Fei had by now come to understand the unique cultivation methods of the Martial King lineage's Martial Sovereigns. They were exceptionally fortunate. Once they awoke a Divine Ability, they didn't even need to deeply comprehend or work excessively hard. Each Divine Ability had detailed records within the family on how to elevate it. Thus, once they awakened a Divine Ability intrinsic to their bloodline, it would inevitably reach perfection. It was merely a matter of time.
Hence, descendants of the Martial King lineage focused on awakening their bloodlines. They didn't need to invest much effort in honing their Divine Abilities. As long as their bloodlines awoke, new Divine Abilities would naturally manifest. Once perfected, these abilities posed no challenges. Furthermore, if one could awaken all nine Divine Abilities, they were guaranteed to become a Martial King. This was the unparalleled advantage of the Martial King bloodline.
It was as if their ancestors, the Martial Kings, had already paved the way for them. The descendants simply needed to follow the path, and they would undeniably achieve the Martial King status.
Of course, awakening the nine Divine Abilities is quite challenging. Otherwise, the Xiao family wouldn't still be waiting for the birth of their second Martial King after all this time. However, compared to ordinary martial artists, descendants of the Martial King family have a much easier path in cultivation.
Xiao Yuchen's current aspiration is to enter the blood pool, hoping to awaken her bloodline. By doing so, she would activate her third Divine Ability, significantly boosting her strength and bringing her a step closer to becoming a Martial King.
"Aurora Sovereign, perhaps I can attempt the second floor of the Martial King Tower," Lin Fei suggested. "While I haven't yet cultivated my third Divine Ability, I can still access the second floor of the Martial King Tower. If I successfully navigate it, you'll be granted another entry into the blood pool. I believe you'll surely awaken your bloodline and unlock the third Divine Ability!"
Lin Fei willingly brought up the challenge of the Martial King Tower.
"Sovereign Lin, you don't need to go to such lengths for me," Xiao Yuchen responded. "I'd be delighted to have you stay in the Xiao family. There's no need for you to take risks like that."
Xiao Yuchen obviously longed to enter the blood pool again, but she also realized Lin Fei's intentions - to secure his stay at the Xiao residence. She wasn't the type to take advantage of someone in distress. She believed in principles.
With a calm demeanor, Lin Fei replied, "Aurora Sovereign, I don't view it as a risk. I am confident in passing the second floor of the Martial King Tower. If you feel indebted, you can help me by keeping an eye out for top-notch Divine Abilities in the future. I can't return to the Ancient Origin Sect for now, and I lack superior Divine Abilities to cultivate."
In the end, Xiao Yuchen agreed. She remembered Lin Fei's words about seeking high-tier Great Divine Abilities.
Soon, Lin Fei and Xiao Yuchen arrived at the Martial King Tower. This time, there were hardly any people around. Lin Fei, being familiar with the tower's process, confidently stepped onto the second floor. He was met by two exotic beasts, both significantly more powerful than the one he faced on the first floor. But with Lin Fei's mastered top-tier Divine Abilities, especially when combining his Gravity Domain and Saber Domain, these creatures were no match for him. In less than a moment, Lin Fei emerged victorious.
Facing an expectant Xiao Yuchen, Lin Fei smiled, "Aurora Sovereign, you can now access the blood pool on the second floor of the Martial King Tower. I wish you success in awakening your bloodline!"
Xiao Yuchen's eyes widened in surprise. "In just a few moments, you cleared the second floor of the Martial King Tower? Sovereign Lin, you've become even more powerful!"
She was well aware of the difficulty of the second floor. If it were so simple, every member of the family would have accessed the blood pool by now, rendering the tower's existence meaningless.
Members of the Xiao family needed not only two Divine Abilities to clear the second floor but also some other unique skills. Lin Fei had his Saber Domain, and his two Divine Abilities were even stronger than those innate to the Xiao family's Martial King bloodline.
"Aurora Sovereign, go ahead," Lin Fei said calmly. Wasn't it quite normal for his strength to have increased? In fact, he even felt that the progress was slow.
Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Xiao Yuchen resolutely stepped into the second floor of the Martial King Tower.
One hour passed, then two, and then three...
This time, Xiao Yuchen's duration in the blood pool was rather lengthy. A total of six hours had passed.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the entire Martial King Tower trembled. Concurrently, a burst of laughter echoed from within the tower.
"I've awakened, I've finally awakened!"
"Whoosh."
Xiao Yuchen emerged from the second floor of the Martial King Tower. Behind her, a massive Life Wheel materialized. On the Life Wheel, three layers of radiance shone brilliantly.
This indicated the presence of three Divine Abilities!
Meaning, that Xiao Yuchen had successfully awakened the third Divine Ability within her bloodline.
"Whoosh."
Xiao Yuchen swiftly flew out of the gate. At first glance, she recognized the familiar figure standing outside.
"Sovereign Lin, it really is you!" A hint of joy shone in Xiao Yuchen's eyes.
