Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2145 Inappropriate

Chapter 2145  Inappropriate

Ryu slowly looked over, his head tilting. There was a smoldering silver light in their depths, unfathomable and deep, unreadable, even. 
But as quickly as it was there, it vanished. 
He turned away from Young Master Bright once again, turning back to his wives and his smile returning as though nothing at all had happened. 
He had thought about attacking just now, but in the end he felt that… it wasn't worth it. 
If he attacked now, wouldn't he have to leave his wives? He had already been suppressing himself for several decades now. The likes of this Young Master Bright… 
Were entirely unable to shake him now. 
By Sarriel's side, Falling Snow's rage also flared, his tail swaying and claws growing from his hands as his canines extended. 
But in the end, he too managed to calm himself. His rage burned in a fiery ember, suppressed and protected from the chilling cold for just the time being. 
Young Master Bright, however, was so infuriated that he laughed to the skies. 
He couldn't remember ever being ignored in his life. Since the days of his youth, he had always stood atop of the world. Even if he had been telling Ryu to lick his shoes, the latter should have obediently listened to every word even if he erupted in a rage afterward. 
"Mysteries Lineage, huh?" Young Master Shadow's eyes flashed with interest, a ghostly tongue flicking out from his mouth and licking over his lips before his visage disappeared again. "They are indeed all quite arrogant and aloof. I've never heard of one having so many women, though. What a fascinating change, a fascinating change, indeed." 
Although Young Master Bright was the first to sense it due to their connection through Fate, when Ryu brought his wives out to interact with one another, they had all sensed small inklings of what his Heavenly Pupils were. 
No one here was surprised by the appearance of Heavenly Pupils, it wasn't something that they had to care for in the slightest considering they were all geniuses amongst geniuses. Maybe 90% of them had Heavenly Pupils—it was truly so exaggerated. 
The War Pupils of Young Master Bright were only one of them. In fact, many of those here had established new rankings for their Heavenly Pupils in their own worlds as well. 
However, even amongst Heavenly Pupils, there was something special about the Mysteries of Heaven Earth Heavenly Pupils, an odd tug at their souls that made them feel the desire to suppress it beneath their feet. 
That was because these Heavenly Pupils… were the only ones that fell in rankings not due to being surpassed by subsequent generations, but because they took too long to appear. 
And every time they did… 
They would inevitably return back to their position at the very top of that perch. 
Now, unbeknownst to them, another member of the Mysteries Lineage had appeared right before them all. 
Phoenix Princess chuckled, her delicate laughter tickling the heart. 
"Interesting indeed. I am a little bit jealous, though. If I were to choose him, how will I compete with so many Dao Goddesses?" 
Despite her words, she didn't seem to take the title of Dao Goddess very seriously at all. 
And maybe she was right to be so flippant. 
To geniuses like them, so long as they crossed the Lord threshold, reaching Godhood was an inevitability. If she wanted, she could reach the Dao God Realm with a few years of seclusion at most. 
They all could. 
Of course, that was only a right reserved for the truest pinnacle of geniuses the world had to offer. For them, cultivation was never all that difficult to begin with, not after certain thresholds had been passed. 
In fact, the only reason Hope had failed to break into the Omniscient Sky God Realm back then was because she lacked the Fate. She had the right combination of exceptional talent, and poor support from the Heavens. 
But had her world still existed… she would have long become a God. 
Clearly, though, they felt that these Dao Goddesses willing to become the wife to a Lord couldn't have been very special to begin with. Any one of them could have a Dao God for a spouse if they so chose. 
This was the peak of the world. The way they saw things was very different from others. 
However… 
Eska slowly turned toward the Phoenix Princess. Her movements were just as elegant as always, not flashy in the slightest, and most almost didn't notice her movement at all. 
However, the moment the Phoenix Princess met her gaze, it was as though she had been thrown into a vat of ice-cold water. 
Cold sweat burst across her skin, the feathers and flames that made up her hair flaring out as she took a violent step backward. 
Her body burst apart and she returned to her true form, a phoenix wreathed in flames of violet, pink, and blue. 
She spread out her wings, and before anyone could react, she had retreated millions of miles. 
By the time she came to a stop, Eska had already turned away, returning to her chat as though nothing at all had happened. 
On Ryu's head, Little Gem closed her one open eye, yawning. She stretched out her little pink tongue, smacked her lips, then went back to sleep on her comfortable bed of hair as though realizing she didn't need to do anything now that Eska had. 
A silence fell over the region. The only thing one could hear was the heavy breathing that came from none other than the Phoenix Princess who felt her entire life flashing before her eyes. 
Her Dao Heart fluctuated and pulsed. But just when everyone thought that it would collapse, it suddenly shone as bright as a star. 
The Phoenix Princess' momentum towered and pierced the skies. Even without a change to her cultivation, her power seemed to have reached a new stage. 
But it wasn't her who spoke first. 
"That was inappropriate, don't you think, fellow daoist?"
