Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 27 The Seal of the Immortal Alliance

"Why does Xuantian Sect collect these?" If low-level spiritual plants are used to make pills, then what are the uses of ordinary herbs? Could it be that they also plan to collect a large number of mortal disciples who have not yet attracted qi to strengthen their strength?
"Never mind. They are just insignificant people after all. Do they really think that just because they have the strength to deal with Nascent Souls, they can threaten the Immortal Alliance? That's wishful thinking!"

"People in the world have always been short-sighted. They think that the Nascent Soul stage is the pinnacle, but they don't know how many things there are in the world that they dare not even imagine." The elders below also nodded, not taking the small Xuantian Sect seriously at all. After all, only a few people here know what kind of trump card the Immortal Alliance has.

The reason why they targeted Xuantian Sect in the previous times was just for the things in the forbidden area.

"Alliance leader, should we send more people over..." someone asked tentatively.

Just as the leader was about to speak, the entire Immortal Alliance suddenly shook violently, and even the main hall began to shake, as if something was about to come out from the ground.

Roar……

A roar, as if from ancient times, resounded through the Immortal Alliance, causing everyone in the alliance to feel a wave of fear. But then, rays of light from the formation lit up all around them, the shaking gradually subsided, and after a while, calm returned.

The leader steadied himself, his expression suddenly becoming somewhat grim, and he glanced at the elders present and said.

"That thing is becoming more active. You should know the seriousness of its awakening. We must not let it break free from the seal and return to the sea boundary..."

“…” He didn’t say anything else, and everyone’s faces darkened.

"It's precisely at this moment. If it weren't for the thing underground that needs to be sealed and appeased, a small sect wouldn't be worth our attention. But we must quickly find out what the Xuantian Sect has obtained from that forbidden area. Regardless of whether it is related to that thing, we must get it in our hands."

The people present also understood the importance of this matter, and their expressions became increasingly solemn. After a while, someone stood up and suggested, "This matter is urgent, but now that two Nascent Soul Elders have been killed, if we want to take down Xuantian Sect, we have to send those things out."

"No!" someone immediately objected. "The seal is unstable right now. It took all of us working together to suppress it. If we send that thing out again, it will only accelerate the seal's collapse. We can't take that risk."

"What should we do then?" The elder who had just suggested this frowned. "We can't leave the Immortal Alliance right now. Do we really have to wait for the Xuantian Sect to come to us?"

"If they want to destroy the Xuantian Sect, why do we need to do it ourselves?" A purple-robed elder sneered and glanced at everyone. "As long as we leak a little information about the forbidden area to the Luoxia Sect and the Chiling Sect, someone will naturally serve as our pawns."

"You mean..." Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they all agreed that killing someone with a borrowed knife was a good tactic.

"Then it's settled." The leader of the alliance nodded, quickly forming a spell and issuing an order. Feeling the trembling below him again, he glanced at everyone and said, "Continue to suppress the seal. As long as we can hold out for this period of time, everything will be resolved."

No one spoke again, but instead they all made hand gestures. The next moment, the entire hall lit up with a formation that enveloped all the elders. Then, with a flash of white light, everyone disappeared from the hall and appeared in another place.

There was nothingness here, no sun, no moon, no wind, as if it was a separate and different space. In this space, there were only magic arrays running through it. Those array symbols were like chains that spread throughout the entire space, but they were obviously very old and the array light was a little dim.

The elders of the Immortal Alliance who had just appeared were now sitting in the center of each formation, continuously inputting spiritual power into the formation. With the entry of spiritual power, the dim formation seemed to be re-lit and became dazzling again.

Within the vast and complex formation, there lay a massive sphere. Its exterior was pure white, yet a crimson glow emanated from within. The entire formation was connected to this sphere, and threads of spiritual energy pierced through it, seemingly extracting something from within. From time to time, a massive shadow slowly moved within, as if some enormous being lay dormant. The entire space reverberated with the resounding "dong dong dong" of a mighty bell, as if...

Something seemed to be beating.

"Dragon?" Yu Xuan was stunned. "Isn't such a creature only found in legends?"

Qiu Ci frowned, but the image clearly existed in reality. "So there are no dragons on this continent, or any information about dragons?"

"I've never heard of anyone seeing a real dragon." Yu Xuan nodded, then added, "Mythical beasts like dragons and phoenixes only exist in ancient legends. Even those who have awakened their dragon bloodline are extremely rare."

"Dragon bloodline!" Qiu Ci was shocked and asked quickly, "Are you saying that someone can awaken this bloodline?"

"Of course there are." Yu Xuan nodded. "Although most people's awakened bloodlines are inherited from their parents, there are a few that are different. As long as it is a bloodline that appeared in ancient times, it is possible to awaken, and dragons are no exception."

"Then... can those who awaken the dragon bloodline completely transform into dragons?" Qiu Ci thought of the dragon in the agreement and wondered if that was also a manifestation of bloodline.

"That's impossible." Yu Xuan shook his head, stroking his long beard. "Bloodline awakening only enhances a certain talent, for example, Lingyu bloodline is more adept at water magic. However, the characteristics of the bloodline are fixed, and these characteristics will become less and less as the cultivation level increases, and may even disappear completely."

"Disappear?" Qiu Ci was stunned. Did he mean that he would turn into a normal human form?
"That's right!" Yu Xuan nodded, pointing to the top of his head. "I'm originally of the ram bloodline. Before I awakened, I had a pair of horns, but they disappeared after I formed my infant." He then pointed to his large ears. "Now, only my ears still have the bloodline characteristics, but if I continue to practice, they should disappear too. So... I speculate that once one reaches the level of a Spiritual Transformation, all bloodline characteristics will disappear."

After saying this, he looked at Chu Qiuci meaningfully again.

Qiu Ci was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that since she had achieved the level of a spirit being transformed and went to a remote place like the back mountain to farm, she had never asked the system to camouflage her again. In other words, she no longer had a pair of antlers on her head, and was in complete human form.

So did Yu Xuan think that she had cultivated to the point where her bloodline characteristics disappeared? It had to be said that this was a beautiful misunderstanding, and Qiu Ci simply didn't explain it.

However, she hadn't expected that the higher her cultivation level, the fewer bloodline characteristics she would possess. Thinking back to when she had no bloodline to awaken and was worried about being exposed, she felt she had been worrying for nothing.

"By the way, speaking of dragon bloodline..." Yu Xuan suddenly thought of something and continued, "Fellow Daoist Chu, you can ask Qi Hong's young disciple. He has awakened the dragon bloodline."

"Are you talking about Jing Hong?" That socially anxious guy! Qiu Ci was shocked. "He is of dragon blood?!"

"Yes." Yu Xuan nodded affirmatively. This was also the reason why he was accepted as the master's personal disciple.

"Then I'll go back first!" Qiu Ci couldn't sit still anymore, said hello and rushed back to the back mountain.
