"Master, what exactly happened? Why would even the ancestor of our Blood Clan show you such respect?"
After boarding the plane, Elebela finally couldn't help but ask.
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 thought the Blood Clan had reached some kind of agreement with Zhang Fan, that in exchange for a certain price, Zhang Fan would grant her freedom.
When she heard this news, Elebela nearly cried. Her father and clansmen thought she was reluctantly following Zhang Fan, unaware of what a great opportunity it was to be by his side.
She could cultivate incredibly profound techniques, consume countless spiritual elixirs to enhance her power, and witness many miraculous arts not seen elsewhere on Earth.
Such a momentous opportunity was almost ruined by her father.
"This is a rather long story," Zhang Fan said with a smile. "Do you know where your Blood Clan originated?"
Elebela was taken aback. After a long pause, she replied, "It is said that the Progenitor created the entire Blood Clan, and all members are descendants of the Progenitor."
Zhang Fan nodded. "That is not entirely incorrect. Do you know where your Progenitor came from?"
Elebela shook her head decisively. She knew very little about their Progenitor. She had only heard legends before, and today was the first time she had seen the true form of their Blood Clan's Progenitor.
"In fact, having lived on Earth for so many years, you should have realized that the Blood Clan is not a native race of this planet."
"The Blood Clan is an extremely powerful race from the Myriad Domain Starry Sky. Within the Blood Clan, there are primarily four major tribes: the Skyscraper Blood Clan, the Undying Blood Clan, the Spirit-Banning Blood Clan, and the Battle Axe Blood Clan."
"And your Progenitor was a pure-blooded member of the Undying Blood Clan. He descended to Earth from the Myriad Domain Starry Sky and captured strong individuals from Earth, using the secret arts of the Undying Blood Clan to forcefully transform them into half-blooded Undying Blood Clan members."
"Therefore, apart from your Progenitor, Xue Jing, all other members of the Blood Clan, including you, are merely half-blooded Undying Blood Clan members."
"Of course, your bloodline is much purer than most, closer to a pure-blooded Undying Blood Clan member. That is why your cultivation talent is so outstanding."
After hearing Zhang Fan's words, Elebela's eyes were opened. She never imagined that their Blood Clan had such a background, that they were considered a powerful race in the Myriad Domain Starry Sky.
"If you can cultivate the Blood Moon Demonic King Body that I have taught you to perfection, your bloodline power will be fully unleashed, and you will become a pure-blooded Undying Blood Clan member with incredibly strong vitality," Zhang Fan said.
"Perfection..."
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Elebela could only give a bitter smile. When she first obtained the body-refining technique of the Blood Moon Demonic King Body, she was full of confidence, believing that with her talent, reaching the Great Accomplishment realm was highly probable, and even the Perfection realm was an attainable goal.
However, after cultivating for a period, she realized how arduous the Blood Moon Demonic King Body was to cultivate.
Even with Zhang Fan's guidance and a large supply of Qi and Blood Pills, after cultivating for so long, she was still far from even a minor accomplishment.
Body-refining techniques naturally become more difficult in the later stages, and the stronger the physique, the more resources are required. To cultivate to the Perfection realm, who knew how many years it would take?
Seeing Elebela's lack of confidence, Zhang Fan couldn't help but admonish her, "Earth is poor in resources and has thin spiritual energy. Although you've been given a large number of Qi and Blood Pills, reaching this stage in just over a year is quite commendable."
"Of course, achieving perfection is not easy. After I condense my Nascent Soul and handle matters on Earth, I will take you to witness the true cultivation world. There, the laws of survival are more brutal, but correspondingly, the extensive tempering will allow you to grow faster. As long as you don't die, you will eventually stand at the peak and look down upon this world."
Although the Blood Moon Demonic King Body was inferior to Zhang Fan's Myriad Domain God- trấn Body, it was still a top-tier immortal body technique. Cultivating it to perfection would grant the body of a Heavenly Immortal.
Mastering a Yuan Ying level body-refining technique, once perfected, Elebela would become one of the most terrifying existences among Yuan Ying stage cultivators. Even an ordinary Nine Tribulation Yuan Ying Heavenly Immortal would find it difficult to harm her easily.
"Is the ancestor so respectful to Master because Master helped the ancestor awaken and thus has a debt of gratitude?" Elebela had always assumed their Blood Clan ancestor was forced into slumber, and his sudden appearance this time, she thought, was due to Zhang Fan.
She didn't know that as long as their ancestor willed it, he could awaken at any time, but being interrupted from his slumber was not beneficial for Xue Jing's recovery.
"You are mistaken. He shows me respect because he has already surrendered to me," Zhang Fan said, gazing at Elebela's exquisite face with a smile.
Hearing this, Elebela was utterly stunned.
Their Blood Clan ancestor had also submitted to Zhang Fan?
Although in her heart, Zhang Fan had always been an unfathomably powerful existence, she had never expected that even their Blood Clan ancestor would be defeated by Zhang Fan and be forced to surrender.
After hearing Zhang Fan's words, Elebela could only shake her head with a wry smile. If their ancestor had surrendered to Zhang Fan, it was tantamount to the entire Blood Clan being bound to his chariot. For the Blood Clan, it was uncertain whether this was good or bad.
Just as Elebela was about to ask for more information about their ancestor, Zhang Fan's phone suddenly rang. On the other end, Lin Haotian's anxious voice could be heard.
After listening to Lin Haotian, Zhang Fan's initially calm expression turned incredibly grim, and he exuded a terrifying aura.
The private jet shook violently as if caught in strong turbulence at an altitude of several thousand meters. The pilot in the cockpit, unaware of the situation, felt an inexplicable fear invade his mind. His face turned deathly pale, and he slumped in the pilot's seat, losing consciousness.
Zhang Fan's aura was released without any restraint. Not to mention ordinary people, even Elebela, who was now a peak Saint, felt a chill in her heart under the shroud of this aura.
Having followed Zhang Fan for so long, this was the first time she had seen him in such a state.
"Alright, I'm coming back immediately," Zhang Fan said before hanging up the phone.
"I'm returning to Huaxia first. You don't need to come with me."
Without waiting for Elebela to ask, Zhang Fan spoke directly, then forcefully opened the cabin door and leaped out, transforming into a streak of light and flying towards Huaxia.
Now that Zhang Fan's divine body had reached the quasi-Great Accomplishment level, and his Qi cultivation had reached the peak of the Divine Realm, his speed was even faster than ordinary Core Formation stage experts, far surpassing the speed of sound.
After Zhang Fan disappeared from her sight, Elebela finally reacted, sighing inwardly. The gap between her and Zhang Fan was too vast. The mere pressure of his aura could make her momentarily dazed and unable to act for a short period.
