"Fear?"
"Could it be...?"
Sacred Light White Brow and Nian Tian Dao Ren both wore complicated expressions.
Just two words were enough to tell them — the bloodline power inside this bead could not merge with Chu Feng.
"Both are Heavenly-grade bloodlines, yet it produces fear. There is only one possibility — the bloodline power within Chu Feng's body is far more powerful."
"So he doesn't need this bloodline at all. Even if he wanted it, the bloodline inside him would never accept it."
The Sacred Lord said.
"Young Hero Chu Feng is truly remarkable indeed."
Sacred Light White Brow had still been feeling somewhat dejected earlier, but now he was grinning from ear to ear.
He had been feeling dejected because he thought such a bloodline was wasted on Chu Lingxi — it would have been better given to Chu Feng.
Now he was delighted because even a bloodline this powerful wasn't worthy of Chu Feng, which only proved how extraordinary Chu Feng truly was.
"Young Hero Chu Feng is so remarkable, yet there was someone who once insisted on putting him to death."
A rare, mischievous smirk appeared on Niantian Daoist's face, and he deliberately glanced at Sacred Light White Brow.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"Niantian, you old fossil, when did you learn to rub salt in people's wounds?"
"At the time, I was only thinking about avenging my Sacred Light clan — who could have predicted... Sigh, I truly had my eyes wide shut."
Saccent Light White Brow rolled his eyes at Niantian Daoist, but then let out a sigh of his own.
When it came to his life, he had done plenty of reckless things, but there was only one thing he truly regretted — nearly killing Chu Feng.
He had always felt that if he had befriended Chu Feng from the start, perhaps the two of them could have become much closer.
"White Brow, I understand how you feel."
"Chu Feng is certainly a talent, but ultimately he is not a member of our Sacred Light clan."
"If the one to bring our Sacred Light Heavenly River to the very peak of the vast martial cultivation world were not that Chu Feng, but rather a member of our Sacred Light clan — wouldn't that be even better?" the Sacred Master said.
"Sacred Master, if that could truly happen, then of course that would be best."
"But... not to pour cold water on this, but if we were to truly compare them with the top geniuses of the vast martial cultivation world, our current Sacred Valley members are indeed a bit lacking."
Sacred Light White Brow said.
"Heh..."
Upon hearing this, the Sacred Master chuckled, then turned his gaze toward Niantian Daoist.
"Niantian, you should know that what I sent you to find was something meant for tempering. Don't you want to know who I intend to temper?"
The Sacred Master asked Niantian Daoist.
"Lord Sacred Master, isn't it for Chu Lingxi?"
Niantian Daoist was somewhat confused. When he had seen that Heaven-grade bloodline, he had assumed it was meant for Chu Lingxi.
But seeing the Sacred Master ask this way, he felt that perhaps it wasn't for Chu Lingxi after all.
"This has been prepared for the younger generation of my Sacred Light Clan."
the Sacred Master said.
"Our clan's younger generation?"
Upon hearing this, both Sacred Light White Brow and Niantian Daoist were somewhat taken aback.
Why would there suddenly be a need to temper the younger generation of Sacred Valley?
"Actually, when our clan's ancestor departed long ago, he left behind a clan-protector secret treasure for our descendants."
"The ancestor also instructed that this treasure must not be used unless multiple geniuses appear in the same era, or a supreme genius emerges."
"Because this secret treasure is truly extraordinary."
"If I were to say that the Heavenly-grade bloodline can bring about a transformation for Chu Lingxi,"
"then the secret treasure left behind by our ancestor, if used, can similarly bring about a transformation in the talent and cultivation of our clan's current younger generation."
"And now, the Era of the Gods has already begun, and I believe... it is time to use this secret treasure."
The Holy Master said.
"Holy Master, is this true?"
Hearing this, Holy Light White Brow's entire being became incredibly excited — this was in fact the first time in his entire life that he had ever been this excited.
The current younger generation of Holy Valley was already outstanding; if they truly had the empowerment of such a secret treasure, then their future achievements would be simply unimaginable.
This was very likely the opportunity that could allow his Holy Light clan to rise within the vast world of martial cultivation.
"Of course it's true, and this is also the reason I called you all back. Our Holy Light clan... has been dormant for so many years — it's time to make a big move."
"Let today's younger generation reclaim the glory that our ancestors lost."
After the Holy Master finished speaking, he gazed into the void.
"For so many years, our Holy Light Heavenly River has already been forgotten. Now that the God Era has begun, our Holy Light Heavenly River will be cast aside by them even more completely."
