Grand Ancestral Bloodlines
chapter-1928

Wobbling Fairy lay limply on the ground, gasping for breath. Her eyes were an odd combination of misted over and in a daze, or maybe both were the same thing, she really couldn't tell anymore. It had been an entire month, and the process could have only been described as relentless. In just the first few minutes, it felt like everything from before had been overridden. She had tried to block off her mind again, tried to focus on just cultivating, but no matter what she did, it didn't matter in the slightest.

Her Dao Heart in this state was a bit frail to begin with, when met with this sort of temptation, it was like she had become an addict, chasing after a high only Ryu could give her.

At the same time, the differences between the way her treatment started and how it ended made it all the more striking. It was clear that Ryu had been capable of making her feel good but hadn't bothered because he didn't give a damn about her.

In fact…

Wobbling Fairy looked over toward Ryu who was in a silent state of cultivation. At the moment, his wife, the elegant beauty she had seen before, was resting her cheek on his thigh, seemingly in peaceful rest.

However, Wobbling Fairy knew that this was actually a sign of distrust. She had already gained everything she needed, if she wanted to kill Ryu now, it would be understandable.

Of course, the odds of this were incredibly low. After all, Ryu wasn't just a now Perfect Sky God, he was a Throne of their Sect.

In Sacrum, it was impossible to kill a Throne without suffering severely. In higher-order worlds, it was possible to do so, but that didn't mean that there wouldn't be a price to pay as well. The targeting of a Throne required a lot of forethought and planning, and the likes of Wobbling Fairy still wasn't high enough in the upper echelon of the Sect to make such a decision herself.

If she killed Ryu and harmed the Sect, she would then be the enemy of not just one Dao God but four of them.

No matter how powerful she was in this state, it was impossible for her to be able to take such a risk.

Ryu obviously knew this, or else his only guard wouldn't be Eska who was still a long way away from the Dao Sovereign Realm.

However, by the same token, it made his stance clear. But… no less clear than Wobbling Fairy had made her own stance.

Wobbling Fairy pressed a hand to her belly, feeling some resentment.

'You've already taken my Primordial Yin, yet you're still so unreasonable and cold…'

Wobbling Fairy was stunned by her own thoughts. When had she become so childish? But maybe this was a small part of herself, a small bit of naivete, that she couldn't completely get rid of.

She didn't even know when she lost her Primordial Yin. She had just barely caught a faint trace of consciousness, only to realize that it was already gone.

She had never had any intention of letting Ryu take it. In the beginning, there was a huge struggle because she could feel that Ryu wanted to take it away.

She remembered sneering on the inside, thinking that he was overestimating himself. But now…

She had said it would take three months for Ryu to be able to reach the Omniscient Sky God Realm, but that was under the assumption that he didn't receive her Primordial Yin.

Now that he had taken it, even doing so in a week or two wouldn't be too shocking. In fact, he might even be able to take a small peek into the Dao Lord Realm, though she definitely wouldn't recommend such a thing.

A genius like Ryu could get away with losing a sub-realm of Dao Grade when moving from Perfect to Transcended Sky God, or from Transcended to Omniscient. But the gap between Omniscient and Lord was so massive that Ryu's Dao might fall out of Founding Daos entirely. If he was too forceful, it might even fall all the way back to Hegemonic. It wasn't worth it.

What left her a bit speechless, though, was the fact that Ryu didn't seem to have improved his Qi Realm cultivation at all. As far as she could tell, he hadn't made any improvement in the slightest.

What she didn't know was that Ryu had stored away all her energy and was actually observing her Primordial Yin.

There was a bout of enlightenment swirling around him.

…

Ryu found that Wobbling Fairy's Primordial Yin was incredibly odd.

'It's almost like the Nether Qi of Primordial Yin… somewhat… it's not exactly that either. But why would she, a Faerie, have such a thing, when Mae didn't?'

There was nothing normal about her Primordial Yin, it felt like it was founded on a completely different concept of—

Ryu's heart trembled.

Curse.

The eyes of an adorable, fluffy little Griffin reflected in his mind.

Cursed individuals were the bane of the Heavens and they were punished as such. They brought calamity, and they were often thrown out by even their own Clans.

If they couldn't break their Curse, they would spend the rest of their lives as cripples, suffering calamity after calamity.

But if they could break their curses, they would soar to the skies and display abilities that had simply never been seen before.

Somehow, Wobbling Fairy was able to shed her Curse and unlock this ability…

It was no wonder her mind was so disordered and her Dao was so odd. She was actually a survivor of the Heaven's Curse. What kind of treatment would she have had to have suffered just to make it to this stage?

Of course, this didn't make Ryu feel sympathy. It was rather that he realized just how shocking what the item in his body was now.

'This is… an opportunity…'
