"Senior, why is it like this?" Chu Feng asked.
"Because I chose you," the colossal red lightning beast replied.
"So the seniors are powerful, but they are not a bloodline I was born with."
"The Heavenly Thunder Bloodline deep within my soul — that is the Heavenly Thunder Bloodline my father passed down to me?"
"Senior, did you enter my body when I was ten? Or were you already inside me, simply awakening that year?"
"Where did you come from, Senior? And why did you choose me?"
"And my own inherited bloodline — why have I never been able to feel it?"
Chu Feng fired off questions one after another.
Truthfully, before the colossal red lightning beast had spoken, Chu Feng had already formed some guesses.
Back in the Ancient Realm, the colossal red lightning beast had said it was the one who had chosen him.
Chu Feng had been struck by the Nine-colored Divine Thunder at the age of ten. Only after that had the Nine-colored Divine Thunder appeared within his Dantian, and his cultivation had begun advancing rapidly from that point on.
So perhaps the Nine-colored Divine Thunder had entered his body at that very moment.
But why would such a powerful lightning beast within his Dantian choose him?
And why, for as long as he could remember, had he never felt his own inherited bloodline?
Chu Feng had far too many questions.
"Kid, I'll only tell you one thing."
"Your bloodline rampage has nothing to do with me."
With those words, the colossal red lightning beast laughed as it departed into the distance, and its laughter carried a deep, enigmatic meaning.
Though Chu Feng was bursting with questions, he chose not to press further. He knew the colossal red lightning beast would not tell him any more.
The lightning beasts were always like that.
Still, Chu Feng had obtained a clue.
"So it was my own inherited bloodline each time my bloodline went on a rampage?"
The clue was useful and yet useless at the same time, but at the very least, it proved one thing.
Chu Feng's own inherited bloodline must not be weak either.
After all, it took an extremely powerful bloodline to trigger a bloodline rampage in the first place.
And so, Chu Feng suddenly broke into a relieved smile.
Anyone else, upon learning that what they had been cultivating all along was not their own bloodline but rather a foreign entity that had entered their body afterward, would have felt uneasy at the very least.
After all, what would become of him if the Nine-colored Divine Thunder were to leave?
But Chu Feng felt no such unease.
Because everything he had achieved on his journey had been built upon the bloodline within his Dantian — the one that did not originally belong to him.
Chu Feng did not leave the world within his Dantian. Instead, he observed it carefully.
Then he closed his eyes.
The Origin of the Bloodline had already been obtained by Chu Feng.
But whether he observed with his physical eyes or felt with his heart, he could not sense the Origin of the Bloodline anywhere within his Dantian world.
As for every other place within his soul, Chu Feng likewise could not detect the Origin of the Bloodline.
"Could it be that my current cultivation is insufficient? That even though I've obtained the Origin of the Bloodline, I'm unable to communicate with it?"
This guess formed in Chu Feng's mind, so he shifted his consciousness back to his physical body and began laying down a formation.
As for the Origin of the Bloodline, Chu Feng was not panicked.
Although he could not sense it, he was certain that the Origin of the Bloodline was within his body.
He could not even perceive his own inherited bloodline, so if an external power like the Origin of the Bloodline wished to hide, it was only natural that it could conceal itself from Chu Feng as well.
