Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

chapter-1374
Entering the Dao God Realm didn't necessarily mean you had a Founding Dao. In fact, the majority had Ancient Daos. The Dao Gods with Founding Daos were on a level all to their own, and the perfect woman had truly not expected that this disciple of hers would have such a husband.
Although she hadn't uttered anything, that didn't mean that she hadn't originally been a slightly bit unsatisfied. It was only after deciding that the pros of taking Mae on were better than the cons did she choose to take her on as a disciple anyway.
Women were disadvantaged in the cultivation world. Often, giving away their Primordial Yin weakened them, especially if they were cultivating certain techniques. For Dream Asuras that were heavily reliant on the soul, giving away a Primordial Yin was akin to giving away a piece of their talent, and that was often difficult to overcome.
The perfect woman herself was unmarried. She would have cared less to little at all if Mae was just not a virgin, but allowing a man to take her Primordial Yin was a bridge too far... unless that man was truly excellent.
In such cases, giving away a Primordial Yin wouldn't be a poor choice, it might even be better than giving it away. She didn't know exactly what talents that young man had as he seemed capable of shrouding it even from herself a small portion, but she knew that his soul talent was exceptional, and it wasn't' just due to taking on Mae's Primordial Yin.The fact that he had a Founding Dao, although it was still in its immature stages, was huge as well. In fact, she felt that it was quite regretful that she and Ryu weren't compatible, or else she might want to take both husband and wife in as disciples. Of course, she didn't know that Ryu would like reject such a proposition.
She also felt quite satisfied with Ryu's actions. A man should take on the burdens for his wife.
She didn't know what kind of relationship Ryu and Primus had, and it seemed more complicated than she knew, but it was enough to know that the latter was related to the former.
Normally, exposing himself like this would just make the Fire Giants pursue him all the more, implicating the Dream Asuras even more. However, because of Ryu's talents, it was almost entirely impossible to focus on anything else for one very important reason: it was simply unacceptable for a human to take the Birth Right of the Nether World.
In fact, the Dream Asuras could take the position that they were tricked by Ryu and that their princess' heart was snatched, allowing him to sneak in and take advantage of her to take the Birth Right for himself. The fact Primus had appeared and had a "conflict" with Ryu before easily leaving with him would only make this matter more suspicious.
On the one hand, this would clear the Dream Asuras of most of the blame. While no one would dare to talk about Mae because she was the disciple of a Dao God.
In the end, all the pressure would fall on Ryu's shoulders.In the end, everyone benefitted by Ryu himself, but considering his laughter, he didn't seem to care in the slightest. The only one who seemed to care was Mae herself, holding back tears as she completed the master-disciple ceremony.
The perfect woman looked toward Mae but didn't know how to comfort her, she wasn't good at that sort of stuff. She could only shake her head and say what was on her mind.
"You have a good husband. Experts can only grow under great pressure, but it's not certain if he'll be under that kind of pressure or not..."
The perfect woman thought of Primus who had followed after. She had never felt danger from someone not in the Dao God Realm before, but there seemed to be a first day for everything, even this...
"My name is Corindra Dream, from today on, you will be my first disciple. I will teach you everything I know and take your Dream Asura Clan under my wing. You can return to the Dream Wraith Clan as your Ancestors once did."
The Dream Asuras were in shocked disbelief, they hadn't expected such a blessing to come. Just moments ago, they were blaming Mae for their woes, and then everything changed.
The process was extremely effortless and Corindra actually remained, staying behind to guide Mae and oversee the process. In the end, she could have sent someone else, but it seemed she took the task of taking on her first disciple very seriously.
Days later, Mae's mother and father came to Corindra respectfully. They brought forward two rings, one of which held the Samsara Wheel, and the other of which held the Samsara Steps.
"Many years ago, our Ancestors took this with us from the Dream Wraith Clan, I thought that since we were returning, we should also give these back," Rogryll spoke, head lowered.
Corindra's brows raised and she waved a hand, allowing the spatial rings to float into her hand. She examined them with great interest. In truth, these were just fringe projects, but lower level Planes cared a great deal about them. The Dream Wraith Clan had better versions.
"These Samsara Steps have been poorly repaired, and even seem to have been damaged again recently."
The husband-wife pair looked toward one another, feeling a bit helpless. However, before they could explain how the Samsara Steps had been damaged during the journey to the True Martial World and had to be repaired by one of their Ancestors, Corindra waved a hand and the steps appeared, soon afterward, a scene began to replay and her brows became tighter and tighter.
"These are no longer the true Samsara Steps, it has been repaired into a far cruder product. It artificially targets your memories and their subsections rather than truly testing the Dao Heart. This boy had Phoenix blood and has experienced rebirth, but these Steps foolishly took this into account in the worst possible way.
"Take this back, this is a faulty product, it's gone on much too long to fix. I will receive the Samsara Wheel and adapt it before returning it to your family, the Dream Wraiths have no need for these treasures, use them to become more worthy of your daughter."
