Grand Ancestral Bloodlines
chapter-2001

Sarriel walked forward with light steps, her beauty lighting up the otherwise dark atmosphere. Basically, all Fey women were beauties amongst beauties, and yet she managed to stand out anyway, as though the Heaven's themselves had reached down their hands to mold her to perfection. Although her expression seemed unchanging, the constant sway of the air and aura around her made it feel as though she was constantly switching between differing temperaments, and somehow that only made her feel all the more enticing.

She was only in the Lord Realm, and yet her momentum made those around her feel as though she had already completed her journey of cultivation, stepping into the highest Realm there was and basking in the glory of True Godhood.

Young Master Moon didn't seem to have eyes for anyone other than her. Although he was calm, his eyes seemed to have stars exploding within them.

On the one hand, he had the dignified air of an expert, his aura and the strength of his Dao Heart leaking and pervading the region. It was enough that those around could sense his level of talent without the slightest doubt, and it made many of the geniuses turn serious.

But on the other...

A young man took a step before Sarriel, blocking Young Master Moon's gaze.

"Lower your gaze unless you want me to dig your eyes out for you"

His voice was calm, and his expression was just as unreadable as Young Master Moon's. And yet, also much like Young Master Moon, his eyes seemed to tell a completely different tale.

The auras of the two young men clashed in the air, a reverberating echo causing the basement to shake and quake.

The young man across from Young Master Moon was simply known as Falling Snow. His black hair had changed over the course of his life, becoming a trail of white that followed behind him like a flowing stream of pale, silvery light.

However, what was more interesting than even that was that his excessively long white hair hid a gorgeous white tail behind it, one that swayed ever so gently and seemed to radiate an energy that was both cold and dark.

Falling Snow was enormous, standing at over 2.5 meters tall. His broad shoulders looked as though they could block out the sun if one stood before him and looked up at his gaze.

When he spoke, a pair of canines flared, reflecting in the light, and a bestial sort of aura flickered for a moment before vanishing.

Comparatively, Young Master Moon was much shorter in stature, only being around two meters tall and even a little shorter than Ryu. However, that didn't mean that his aura lost out in the slightest.

A swirl of blade-like snow manifested purely from Falling Snow's aura. But by the same token, Young Master Moon's aura sparked with blue flames that clashed against them.

Any expert could tell that these two hadn't actually chosen to attack. Their Daos had sensed their clash of wills and chosen to act all on their own.

However, from the sidelines, their Dao Gods didn't say a single word.

Dao God Shy watched on from the sidelines with a somewhat bashful, but expectant glint in his eyes nonetheless. However, he seemed to be distracted by Sarriel's appearance as well; it was hard for any man, no matter his cultivation, to not be.

That said, he was still seeing beyond the layer that was her beauty. Seeing her, he couldn't help but think of something...

'Interesting...'

On the other side, there were several Dao Gods, but the most important of them was obviously a man who likewise radiated the aura of the Lower Dao God Realm.

He was known as Dao God Darkness Rising. He had a cool and unapproachable temperament that became somewhat gentle and doting when it landed on Falling Snow.

They seemed to have a master-disciple sort of relationship, but this wasn't the case. Despite not having a tail or a bestial aura, Dao God Darkness Rising was actually full-blood brothers with Falling Snow.

As for how that was possible, maybe only these hidden experts of the True Martial World would know.

That said, the reason they didn't have this sort of master-disciple aura between them was that Darkness Rising was obviously much older than Falling Snow. He had been guiding him since he was in diapers, and now his little brother was finally growing into the young man he expected him to be. All the while this sort of clash was occurring, Sarriel didn't seem to react much to it at all. In fact, it was the girl by her side that smiled and chuckled bitterly, shaking her head.

"It seems that Little Sister Sarriel's charm is truly great. One of these days, you're going to have to get a husband so the world doesn't just burn down around you wherever you go. It's best to let people know you're taken!

The girl blinked and seemed to only be about thirteen or fourteen years old. And yet, she too radiated the aura of a Lord.

As for why she would be calling Sarriel little sister despite being so young... well, that was a tale maybe for another time.

Sarriel looked at the little girl and didn't respond with anything more than a smile and a nod.

She had always said that she would marry the man who showed himself to be capable of helping her revive her family.

Originally, she had settled on that man being Falling Snow quite comfortably and had planned to accept. But... something she ended up inadvertently learning changed the situation.

Now, she wasn't sure any longer.

Her gaze shifted and landed on Young Master Moon for a brief instant before she looked away. This was the first time she was seeing a man who could stand on the same level as Falling Snow. Rare, indeed.

Regardless, time would tell. There was a certain calmness to her... one that suddenly changed when she felt a familiar aura.
