Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

But, a Dao Charm Soul Technique from a Perfect Sky God was excellent. Ryu had only come here for the potion making techniques so that he could see if there was anything that might help him improve and make the next steps of his re-cultivation easier. He also wanted to see if he could find a method to strengthen his body faster as well.

The option of concocting beasts into pills was always there, but truthfully, Ryu wasn\'t very happy with any of the recipes the Sect had. Ultimately, it was just a True One Star Sect, what it had at its fingertips was incredibly limited.

A Perfect Sky God of the True Martial World, though, was a different matter entirely. The alchemic recipes she had should be on an entirely different level.

The Flowing Frost Sky God raised an eyebrow as Ryu met her gaze.

"You have what you need and I\'m your legatee. I assume that you left your projection here because you have some unfinished business? Tell me what it is and I\'ll finish this cycle of karma for you."

The Flowing Frost Sky God blinked, feeling quite speechless. Did this mean that if Ryu didn\'t find what he wanted, he wouldn\'t have done anything for her? And also, why did he make it sound like he was doing her a favor? She had never met a brat more arrogant in her life.

However, rather than being angry, the Flowing Frost Sky God actually laughed, her gentle giggles making the heart feel quite soothed.

"You remind me of my elder brother. A stone cold block of ice who doesn\'t care about what anyone else thinks, even if said person could kill you with a single finger. It\'s unfortunate that my legacy has ended up in your hands, people with your temperament tend to die very early deaths. But maybe this is just Fate\'s last joke on me."

The Flowing Frost Sky God placed her book down and closed her eyes, taking deep breaths. Truthfully, she had thoughts of saying never mind and simply vanishing. She wasn\'t lying when she said that Ryu reminded her of her elder brother, it was just that her elder brother was long dead, having died staying true to himself to the very end.

She imagined that Ryu would also have such an end one day.

She could tell that Ryu was extremely talented at a glance. She could also tell that he was from a lower world and had come here to the True Martial World a lot like her Clan had all those generations ago until they managed to climb to the Sixth Heaven. She also knew that Ryu, much like her brother, wouldn\'t be satisfied with such an outcome.

But since she had waited all this time, she might as well. If her family was going to finally perish today, she might as well do her best now so that she could go into the afterlife with no regrets.

"My name is Flowing Frost in an ancient tongue likely very unfamiliar to you. My family came to the True Martial world hundreds of generations ago and we managed to climb slowly from the First Heaven to the Sixth.

"That year, my brother managed to comprehend a Hegemonic Dao and he was filled with pride, even surviving the tribulation the Seventh Heaven brought down upon us and proudly aiming his spear above. It had always been his dream to lead us into the Seventh Heaven and it seemed that we finally had a chance to succeed.

"Unfortunately, those Clans and Sects refused to allow us a path. They had banded together long ago, setting arbitrary rules and caps so that they could hold onto their power.

"It was they… The Fading Star Sect… That was the result of our ruin… However, I am sure that things weren\'t so simple that day. The hypocrites of the Ruin Master Guild had definitely extended their hands. If not for underhanded tricks, my brother would not have fallen so easily."

Flowing Frost chuckled and looked up toward Ryu.

"Those are my enemies. A True Seven Star Sect that has the backing of a Nine Star Guild. Do you still dare to take on these Karmic Ties?"

Ryu looked toward Flowing Frost deeply before pulling at the headband that protected his forehead.

"Is that all?" Ryu said lightly as Flowing Frost\'s eyes widened. "Because if so, I planned to raze them to the ground from the very beginning."

Flowing Frost\'s chest heaved, her body trembling outside of her control. A child of the Immortal Ring Ring that had already grasped a Hegemonic Dao?! No, a child from a lesser world, no less?!

Even her elder brother reached the Omniscient Sky God Realm before he grasped his own. This just felt impossible.

Flowing Frost took a long time to calm down as Ryu slowly covered his forehead once again. In truth, she hadn\'t expected much at all. With her family chased to the ends of the True Martial World, she could only place down her Ruin here.

In reality, her goal wasn\'t even to pass on her legacy, at least not by normal means. Her corpse was nearby and perfectly preserved. Within the crystal coffin, her hands held onto a special technique.

It wasn\'t what it sounded like. Flowing Frost wasn\'t trying to take over another\'s body, but she rather wanted the exact opposite. Using her preserved corpse and the technique, someone would be able to possess her body as though it was their own.

Such a person would be able to instantly step into the Perfect Sky God Realm and also gain all of her Bloodlines and Talents, in addition to whatever mutations came with fusing with their own.

Flowing Frost wanted to use whoever came here as a conduit to deliver her corpse to someone worthy, and she of course had methods of ensuring this happened.

Her main goal was to make sure that the blood flowing through her veins could continue to be passed on to a child. Toward that end, she was willing to allow whoever took over her body to do with her virginity as they pleased, so long as her family line could continue.

But this… This opened up an entirely new possibility…

"… If… If that is the case, little one, might I be so presumptuous as to ask you for a different request?"

Ryu nodded. Someone like Flowing Frost was definitely to his liking. Despite her stature, she knew that she needed to rely on him and acted as such. There were many Sky Gods who, in her position, would continue to be arrogant as though he was the one begging for their legacy.

"Then…" Flowing Frost took a deep breath and quickly explained the situation with her body. "… My body is still here, it is perfectly preserved and I am completely untainted. If it would put your mind at ease, I do not mind if you check as well, I will not hold a grudge, especially since it\'s my greatest hope that…"

Flowing Frost took another deep breath.

"I hope that the day you fall in love with a woman that you can trust, you will give my body to her. Once you do, my talent and hers will fuse and she will carry my Frost Clan\'s Bloodline.

"I hope that when that day comes, you will help her to bear a child that carries both your blood and that of my Frost Clan\'s, and you will allow my Clan\'s Bloodline to continue on living in this way.

"Can you… Can you do this for me?"

Ryu paused for a moment, his thoughts suddenly drifting toward Eska. As of right now, Eska was still forced to share a body with Isemeine. But if he did this…

Did he love Eska, though? Not particularly. He had more of an infatuation with her because he loved women with her temperament.

However, as things stood, Eska was already his concubine and he still owed her and the Zu Clan. Allowing her to step into the Perfect Sky God Realm in one bound… That could be considered him repaying his debts.

Ryu nodded. "I promise you."
