"Master, what exactly happened? How could even our ancient ancestor of the blood race be so respectful to you?"
After boarding the plane, Ailebellah could no longer hold back and asked.
Earlier, her father had suddenly informed her that she no longer needed to follow Zhang Fan and work for him, that she was finally free.
She had assumed the blood race had reached some agreement with Zhang Fan, where they paid a price and Zhang Fan granted her freedom.
Upon hearing this news, Ailebellah had almost cried. Her father and clan thought she was following Zhang Fan out of necessity, unaware of what a great opportunity it was to be by his side.
There were incredibly miraculous cultivation techniques to practice, countless elixirs to consume for cultivation enhancement, and the chance to witness wondrous methods unseen elsewhere on Earth.
Such a grand opportunity was almost ruined by her father.
"This is a long story," Zhang Fan said with a smile. "Do you know where your blood race originated?"
Ailebellah was taken aback. After a long pause, she replied, "It is said that our Progenitor created the entire blood race, and all members are his descendants."
Zhang Fan nodded. "That is not entirely wrong. Do you know where your Progenitor was from?"
Ailebellah shook her head resolutely. She knew very little about their Progenitor; she had only heard legends before. Today was the first time she had seen the true form of their blood race Progenitor.
"Actually, having lived on Earth for so many years, you should have noticed that the blood race is not a native species of Earth."
"The blood race is an extremely powerful race from the Myriad Domains. Within the blood race, there are mainly four great tribes: the Sky-Touching Blood Race, the Undying Blood Race, the Spirit-Binding Blood Race, and the Battle-Axe Blood Race."
"Your Progenitor was a pure-blooded member of the Undying Blood Race. He descended to Earth from the Myriad Domains and captured strong individuals on Earth, using the secret arts of the Undying Blood Race to forcibly convert them into half-blooded Undying Bloods."
"Therefore, apart from your ancestor, Xue Jing, all other members of the blood race, including you, are merely half-blooded Undying Bloods."
"Of course, your bloodline is much purer than most, closer to that of a pure-blooded Undying Blood, which is why your cultivation talent is so exceptional."
After listening to Zhang Fan, Ailebellah's eyes were opened. She never imagined their blood race had such a background, being a formidable race in the Myriad Domains.
"If you can cultivate the Blood Moon Demonic King Body that I taught you to perfection, your bloodline power will be fully unleashed, and you will become a pure-blooded Undying Blood with immensely powerful vitality," Zhang Fan said.
"Perfection..."
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Ailebellah could only offer a wry smile. When she first received the Body Refining technique of the Blood Moon Demonic King Body, she was full of confidence. She believed that with her talent, achieving the Great Accomplishment realm was highly probable, and even the Perfect realm was an attainable goal.
However, after cultivating for some time, she realized how difficult the Blood Moon Demonic King Body was to practice.
Even with Zhang Fan's guidance and abundant Qi and Blood Pills, she was still a considerable distance from Minor Accomplishment after so long.
Body refining techniques become increasingly difficult in later stages, and the stronger the physical body, the more resources are required. It was impossible to tell how many years it would take to reach the Perfect realm.
Seeing Ailebellah's lack of confidence, Zhang Fan couldn't help but lecture, "Earth is poor in resources and thin in spiritual energy. Although you've consumed a large number of Qi and Blood Pills, achieving this much in over a year is quite good."
"Of course, cultivating to perfection is not an easy feat. Once I condense my Nascent Soul and finish dealing with matters on Earth, I will take you to witness a true immortal cultivation world. There, the law of survival is more brutal, but correspondingly, extensive tempering will make you grow faster. As long as you don't die, you will eventually stand at the pinnacle and look down upon this world."
Although the Blood Moon Demonic King Body was inferior to Zhang Fan's Myriad Domain Town God Body, it was still a top-tier immortal body technique. Cultivating it to perfection could lead to the Celestial Immortal body.
Upon mastering a Nascent Soul level body refining technique to perfection, Ailebellah would become one of the most terrifying existences among Nascent Soul cultivators. Even an ordinary Nine Tribulations Nascent Soul Celestial Immortal would find it difficult to harm her easily.
"Is our ancestor so respectful to Master because Master helped him awaken and owes him a favor?" Ailebellah had always believed their blood race Progenitor was forced into slumber, and his sudden appearance this time was thought to be due to Zhang Fan.
She did not know that as long as their ancestor willed it, he could awaken at any time. It was just that interrupting his slumber did not benefit Xue Jing's recovery.
"You are mistaken. He is respectful to me because he has already submitted to me," Zhang Fan said, gazing at Ailebellah's delicate face with a smile.
Ailebellah was completely stunned by this revelation.
Their blood race Progenitor had also submitted to Zhang Fan?
Although she had always considered Zhang Fan an unfathomably powerful being, she had never imagined that even their Progenitor would be defeated by Zhang Fan and forced to submit.
After hearing Zhang Fan's words, Ailebellah could only offer a wry smile. Their Progenitor had submitted to Zhang Fan, which was akin to the entire blood race being bound to his chariot. Whether this was good or bad for the blood race, she could not tell.
Just as Ailebellah was about to inquire further about their ancestor, Zhang Fan's phone suddenly rang. On the other end, Lin Haotian's urgent voice could be heard.
After listening to Lin Haotian, Zhang Fan, who had been calm moments before, suddenly became extremely grim, exuding a terrifying aura.
The private jet, as if caught in severe turbulence, shook violently at an altitude of several thousand meters. The pilot in the cockpit, unaware of the situation, felt an inexplicable wave of fear wash over him. His face turned deathly pale, and he slumped over the controls, losing consciousness.
Zhang Fan's aura was released without restraint. Not to mention ordinary people, even Ailebellah, now a peak Saint, felt a chill in her heart under its oppressive weight.
She had followed Zhang Fan for so long, and this was the first time she had witnessed him in such a state.
"Alright, I'll be back immediately," Zhang Fan said, hanging up the phone.
"I'm returning to China. You don't need to come with me."
Without waiting for Ailebellah to ask, Zhang Fan spoke directly, then forcefully opened the cabin door, leaped out, and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards China.
Zhang Fan's divine body had reached the quasi-perfection level, and his Qi cultivation had reached the peak of the Divine Realm. His speed was slightly faster than that of an ordinary Core Condensation realm cultivator, far surpassing the speed of sound.
After Zhang Fan disappeared from her sight, Ailebellah finally reacted, sighing inwardly at the immense gap between her and Zhang Fan. The mere pressure of his aura could momentarily stun her and render her incapable of action.
