Chapter 1465: Chapter 1465 - 1450: Ancient Human Bloodline

"Picking up a treasure, what do you mean? Is this Big Ears very powerful or something?" Ye Zhen began communicating with Achou, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit.

Rather than answering, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit asked, "My dear Lord Ye, what do you think of the Nine-Headed Beast?"

"Extremely powerful, its combat prowess is exceptional, nearly invincible within the same cultivation level, and even when facing opponents a half-stage stronger, it can still hold its ground!" Ye Zhen replied.

"But in the Ancient Times, the Nine-Headed Beast was just an ordinary ancient fierce beast, really quite ordinary—at most, it had nine lives, making it hard to kill and great for guarding.

There were many ancient fierce beasts stronger than the Nine-Headed Beast, so how do you think the weak humans survived during the Ancient Times?" the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou inquired.

Ye Zhen frowned, "Achou, what are you trying to say? Just get to the point!"

"The ancient human clan battled against heaven and the earth in extremely harsh environments, and as generations of powerful figures came forth, some changes occurred in their bloodlines. Some were born able to command wind and rain, control thunder and lightning in their youth.

Even more were those with strong bloodlines who, upon reaching adulthood, without needing cultivation, could turn the heavens and earth upside down with just their bloodline power. It was during this time that the strength of human clan bloodlines led to the emergence of numerous ancient clans and the pinnacle of human clan glory, establishing humans as the rulers of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!

Even I, this unlucky fellow, got dealt with by that old bastard back then. Such extraordinarily powerful human bloodlines, we called them Ancient Bloodlines.

What you now call cultivation talent, the so-called five veins, six veins, heavenly veins before blood refining, are actually the consequence of Ancient Bloodlines being weakened over countless generations." Achou explained.

"Are you saying this Big Ears has an Ancient Bloodline?" Ye Zhen asked.

In response, Achou shook his head, "Whether this lad has awakened or inherited a trace of an Ancient Bloodline is unknown at the moment.

However, under normal circumstances, humans cannot possess such an extraordinarily vast and abnormal innate divine ability, but there are exceptions, just like you being adept in Innate Five Elements Divine Escape and Thunder Element Secret Divine Art.

We can only say he might be a human with an Ancient Bloodline!

If he truly is a human with an Ancient Bloodline, then his potential in the future will be..... limitless!"

"Limitless?"

Upon hearing these four words, Ye Zhen glanced instinctively at Big Ears. During the recent babbling confession, Big Ears had also revealed his real name, Nie Ting, with the nickname Big Ears Nie. Of course, only those familiar with him would call him that.

Originally, according to Ye Zhen’s thoughts, since Nie Ting, Big Ears had heard Yany Chi’s speculation about Ye Zhen having a whole new little world behind him through his innate divine ability,

whether or not Nie Ting believed in Manager Yany’s speculation, this Nie Ting Big Ears could not be left alive.

He must be dealt with!

Ye Zhen had already planned to conduct a soul search on him after questioning, and then make sure he was utterly destroyed.

Any leak about the True Profound Continent would spell ruinous disaster for the clan and family!

But now that Achou was saying this, Ye Zhen found himself hesitating to strike.

The four words ’limitless potential’ are not uttered carelessly.

Even considering the factors that Achou predicted Ye Zhen would gain some rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures as assistance in the future, Ye Zhen still couldn’t earn these four words as a description.

Yet Nie Ting could.

’Limitless potential’ simply meant that if Nie Ting truly had an Ancient Bloodline, then continuing regular cultivation,

as long as he doesn’t die midway, his future breakthroughs into the Dao Realm and beyond to Creation will occur naturally without any bottlenecks.

Though Ye Zhen is unclear about the Creation Heaven Path beyond the Dao Realm, recognizing the difficulty of breaking into the Dao Realm clarifies the significance.

Consider the Blue-scaled Dragon King with a True Dragon Bloodline, possessing abundant cultivation resources, yet stuck for thousands of years at the peak of the Ninth Stage of Realm King Realm, unable to take that step forward.

If Nie Ting’s path will naturally lead him into the Dao Realm, what does that say of his potential strength?

To kill him now would indeed be a great pity.

Beyond potential, just based on Nie Ting’s current innate divine ability, Ye Zhen was reluctant to lose him.

Sound from within ten thousand miles could reach his ears, no matter how many layers of spiritual power barriers you set up.

He is practically a super early warning radar, a super eavesdropper, and as his cultivation level rises, this ability will significantly enhance.

Watching the ever-changing expressions of the ’Young Master Di’ beside him, Big Ears Nie Ting was aware of the decision Ye Zhen was making.

Having survived on Chaotic Sky Island for so many years, his experience wasn’t lacking. He clearly understood the potential consequences of his earlier panicked statements.

Regardless of whether the little world behind this Young Master Di is real, it’s likely they would kill him to keep it secret!

The reason is straightforward: if it’s true, they will surely kill him to keep it secret.

And if it’s not true, they would still kill him to keep it secret. Should rumors spread, it would be a dire disaster!

Instantly, Nie Ting’s expression turned unsettled and anxious.

After a long while, Ye Zhen suddenly turned his gaze toward Nie Ting, "Nie Ting, though I saved you, you are a smart man...."

Upon hearing this, Big Ears opened his mouth wide, and his gaze at Ye Zhen shifted—could there really be a whole new little world behind this Young Master Di, with tremendous prospects......

For this, Ye Zhen felt somewhat helpless.

No matter how eloquently he spoke now, any explanation would instinctively lead Nie Ting to suspect there was a small world behind him, which is why Ye Zhen originally wanted to kill him.

But now, he had no choice.

In the next moment, Nie Ting voluntarily knelt before Ye Zhen, "Your servant pays respects to the Young Master, your servant pays respects to the Lord!" As he knelt, Nie Ting willingly opened up his Divine Soul, "I humbly ask the Lord to cast the spell!"

Seeing this, Ye Zhen nodded approvingly. This lad Nie Ting was indeed astute, worthy of some cultivation and guidance from Ye Zhen.

Thereupon, Ye Zhen performed the Soul-locking Technique on Nie Ting, thoroughly controlling his Divine Soul. As for how far this lad might go, and whether the bloodline within him was truly the Ancient Human Bloodline, only time would tell.

Nonetheless, even if Nie Ting did not have the Ancient Human Bloodline, his current innate divine ability was invaluable.

With the potential threat of Big Ears Nie Ting resolved, the next matter was to deal with Yany Chi, the Store Manager, who predicted that there was a new little world behind Ye Zhen.

Moreover, the matter couldn’t be resolved by simply killing him.

"Big Ears, you mentioned that Manager Yany spoke about this to Shopkeeper Ma as well?" Ye Zhen asked.

"Indeed! I overheard them discussing it, and it seems Manager Yany wishes not to involve too many people knowing about the Lord’s little world, aiming to leverage the influence of his brother-in-law, Shopkeeper Ma." Nie Ting confirmed.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen’s brows knitted in a troubled manner.

This was his exact concern: a secret might stay buried with one person but can quickly proliferate once two know about it.

Perhaps Yany Chi wouldn’t disclose it further, or perhaps he had other plans, involving more people, and whether Yany Chi’s brother-in-law, Shopkeeper Ma, would further leak this secret?

Even a slight leak would spell endless trouble!

For a moment, Ye Zhen felt deeply impatient.

Moments later, Ye Zhen, taking Big Ears Nie Ting with him, ascended into the air, riding together on the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten. "Big Ears, keep listening carefully. If there are Sky-reaching people nearby, tell me the direction so we can avoid them!" Ye Zhen instructed.

The immediate urgent task for Ye Zhen was to discreetly return to Chaotic Sky Island and eliminate Yany Chi, Shopkeeper Ma, and others, eradicating the sources of this issue.

However, before handling these individuals, Ye Zhen could not risk alerting the enemy.

If the group sent to pursue Big Ears all vanished, it could certainly trigger Yany Chi’s wariness.

"Young Master, the people sent by Manager Yany through his brother-in-law, Shopkeeper Ma, to hunt you down are not far, just ahead and two thousand miles to the left. Should we take them out, or avoid them?" The previous battle had instilled Big Ears with immense confidence in Ye Zhen’s strength.

"Shopkeeper Ma’s people tracking me?" Ye Zhen mused.

"Yes, but those fools couldn’t anticipate your speed, and ended up losing track of you—right now, they’re like headless flies searching for your whereabouts!" Big Ears smiled.

"Enough, let’s avoid them then!" At such a critical juncture, Ye Zhen didn’t want to stir any trouble, so riding the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, he continuously adjusted direction, rapidly approaching Chaotic Sky Island.
