Chapter 779: Becoming An Ancestor?
With Long Qingao’s world view shattered, there was little he could do now.
“If it can do this to my bloodline, then this bloodline is on the same level as that of the three guardian bloodlines!” Long Qingao exclaimed to himself.
~KACHA~
With the bloodline resonance battle over and the result decided, the illusion shattered and Long Qingao found himself back in his human body.
“W-who are you?” Long Qingao asked as he properly observed the figure in front of himself.
It was the same as that of the bloodline he had seen in the illusion, and seemed even bigger than that. After all, his own body was many times smaller than a real Three Clawed Azure Serpent beast.
“Well, haven’t you come to meet me? I am King Lin Wu. The king of the millennium forest.” Lin Wu answered with a chuckle.
‘The system was right… it really is the Three Clawed Azure Serpent bloodline and not a dragon bloodline. Heck it’s not even a flood dragon, I thought it would be on that level at least.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
He too had seen everything that had happened during the bloodline resonance battle. It was something he had triggered, after all.
“You are the king?” Long Qingao replied, but then a second later he exclaimed. “YOU CAN SPEAK?!”
“Of course… if I couldn’t, do you think there would be any meaning to meet you or anyone for that matter?” Lin Wu replied casually.
Seeing Lin Wu’s figure and the strange voice that came from it, Long Qingao didn’t know what to think. From what he knew, only a few beasts that had forms similar to humans could speak like this.
Otherwise beasts used their own beast tongue, which in itself was rather complicated. After all, different beasts had different cries and voices. Thus, the way beast tongue worked was by matching certain tones in the voice.
Though higher beasts could simply communicate with their minds and spirit senses.
‘I’m sure it is not that method though… his mouth really does move, so he’s actually speaking all this.’ Long Qingao analyzed.
Since he was from the Long clan, he knew a lot more about beasts than most did. And this included bloodlines and their effects.
One such thing that he knew was that the beasts could change into humanoid form when they reached a certain cultivation base. While Long Qingao didn’t know what this level was exactly, he did know that one had to be above the Immortal Ascension realm at the very least to do that.
Thus, seeing a beast without a humanoid form was stunning to him.
“You don’t seem all that good, child.” Lin Wu suddenly spoke, his gaze locked onto Long Qingao.
Hearing the sudden words from Lin Wu, Long Qingao was taken aback.
“Child? No one has called me for a long time.” Long Qingao couldn’t help but say.
“Ahaha! To me, you are but a mere child. Not even four hundred years old.” Lin Wu casually spoke.
Hearing this, Long Qingao was surprised as he understood the reasoning behind it.
“What… who are you… I don’t mean as a king either… your bloodline…” Long Qingao said with some hesitancy.
He knew that questions like this could be considered rather rude and he didn’t want to offend Lin Wu out of nowhere. Thus, he just hoped that it would be fine.
“Hmm… I have an easier way to answer that.” Lin Wu said.
“What is it?” Long Qingao questioned.
“How would you like to see a movie?” Lin Wu questioned, but moved before the man could even answer.
He then waved his tail as runes appeared around Long Qingao. Then in the next second, they all turned into streams of light that entered his head.
~shua~
Soon, Long Qingao was transported into another illusion. But this time, the illusion was greatly different. Here he saw planets being born, a black and white twin creature warring and many more things. Disaster fell, calamities happened and great experts fought!
He also saw the same emerald green serpent in it, finding it to be working with the strongest being in the illusion. Long Qingao learned the name of the being, being called as the Taiji Celestial.
The illusion continued, and he got to see a lot of things. And by the time it ended, Long Qingao understood a lot of things.
~CLAP~
Upon coming to his senses, Long Qingao immediately saluted Lin Wu with cupped hands and a bowed head.
“Please forgive this junior for being presumptions, ancestor!” Long Qingao exclaimed.
Hearing these words, Lin Wu couldn’t help but raise his brows.
“How’d this happen?” Lin Wu was confused.
‘Sure, I made him see some fake illusions, but calling me an ancestor? That’s a bit too much, isn’t it?’ Lin Wu thought.
“Raise your head.” Lin Wu spoke.
‘Eh, I’ll just go with it for now. Maybe I’ll get another mindless pawn.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
Long Qingao finally looked up and felt the pressure disappear.
‘No wonder it was like that… I had offended the ancestor from the start. I should have been a lot more prudent.’ Long Qingao thought, unaware of his mistake.
“So do you have any questions for me?” Ling Wu asked.
“No ancestor. All my questions were answered already.” Long Qingao hurriedly said.
If he still had doubts after seeing a live illusion of the past, Long Qingao would deem himself to be dumb. He didn’t want his intelligence to be doubted by a beast that might be older than his clan’s ancestors, while also having a bloodline that was on the same level.
“I see.” Lin Wu replied, calmly staring at the man.
‘Did I go a little too overboard with the movie, maybe?’ Lin Wu wondered.
This time he had gotten the system to prepare a high budget movie that he could show to his guests. He fully wanted to brag and reduce the standing of others.
‘Well, since I’m already this far, I may as well try that too.’ Lin Wu thought before speaking.
“Junior… would you like to solve your little bloodline problem?”
