Feng Lan was a Princess of the Dao Wind Imperial Family, and as such, knew what Celestials were. The sa could be said for Guang San, who was the clan head of a prominent alchemist family.
Both of them knew of the higher realm that existed, as well as the beings who stood above immortals.
Beings of great power, whose re presences could shake the entire Rust Sky World. Normally, most of them would never even get to hear the word Celestial, but there were a few that had the fortune of seeing them too.
Princess Feng Lan was one of them, and had attended the Immortal Court with her family where she had witnessed a Celestial. She still rembered the power they had, and how they could erase immortals as they wished.
It was a realm that she knew was too distant for her to even think of.
Even her father, the emperor of the Dao Wind empire, might not reach it if the fates did not allow it.
The one that had the best chance to do so was none other than her elder brother, Crown Prince Feng Shun.
But that day was still millennia away.
Still, the thought that ihua, her own daughter, would have a Celestial Bloodline was certainly not she would have dread of.
"A Celestial Bloodline…" Guang San was quite shocked and didn't know what to make of it at first.
He had expected it to be strong, but not this strong.
He knew what it ant to have a Celestial Bloodline. It basically ant all ihua needed was enough resources and a decent cultivation technique for her to eventually reach the Celestial Realm.
Of course, it would take a very long ti, but it was basically a guarantee. All their clan now had to do was to protect and nurture her, and she would lead it to heights the Morning Glory Clan had never seen before.
"What… Bloodline is it exactly?" Princess Feng Lan finally asked. "There are many celestial bloodlines after all." She added.
"ihua has a rather unique celestial bloodline… The Plum Heaven Bloodline." Lin Mu gave the na that Xukong had given him.
But that wasn't all Xukong had told him, as there was still bad news to co.
"The Plum Heaven bloodline…" Princess Feng Lan repeated, trying to think about it.
She couldn't recall ever reading about it, thus couldn't tell much about it. The sa was the case for Guang San, as it was not a na they were familial with.
"It is a strong bloodline, and specializes in the Wood Elent, and has its own unique Dao… The Spring Dao. It allows one to be good at herbs and Alchemy too. In fact, ihua has the potential to be one of the best alchemist ever with this." Lin Mu first gave them the positive parts.
"R-really?!" Guang San's eyes couldn't help but light up.
After all, it was the best news he could have gotten as the head of a clan that specialized in Alchemy.
Princess Feng Lan was no less happy, and felt incredible that her daughter would one day beco a Celestial.
"Father will be Thrilled hearing this," Princess Feng Lan said.
While the Emperor did dote on ihua as his first granddaughter, it would be entirely different once he knew her potential.
It wouldn't be surprising if the emperor would spare no expense in nurturing his granddaughter.
After all, while his eldest son also had the potential to beco a celestial, it was still not a guarantee. ihua, on the other hand, was a fixed deposit that was bound to give a profit. All they needed to do was to bide for ti and keep her safe.
"Before you reveal this to others though, there are so things of caution you need to note." Lin Mu stated, making their excitent level out. "There is also danger that cos with ihua's bloodline."
~gulp~
Guang San swallowed his saliva, feeling nervous. Feng Lan was similar, but she felt stressed instead.
"What is it?" Princess Feng Lan questioned.
"The beasts that attacked ihua… the reason they chased after her was the bloodline." Lin Mu answered. "The Plum Heaven Bloodline is basically like a tonic to the beasts. If they consu the owner, their own cultivation would skyrocket, and so would their bloodline. As such, all wild beasts would try to go after ihua, the mont they sll her scent. Only the tad beasts would be able to resist it. But even then, I don't know how long that would work.
The condition would only get worse, the more ihua's bloodline developed. Right now, it has barely shown any signs of awakening. The more it progresses, the stronger her scent will get. By that point, even strong beasts at the Seventh Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm and above will go after her." He explained in detail.
"This… such danger accompanying the bloodline." Guang San didn't know if this was a misfortune or fortune now.
While the bloodline brought great potential to ihua, it wouldn't an anything if her life ended before she reached her peak.
Such was the case not just for her but many other individuals. There were actually several people who had the chance to beco Celestials on every world. The only thing differed was whether they could live long enough to be able to reach that goal.
After all, even if they had the potential, being able to survive was more important.
There was no telling how many promising geniuses had been wiped out simply because fate was not on their side.
This only made Lin Mu more thoughtful about himself and others. It also strengthened his resolve in getting stronger, as he knew surviving all odds was the first condition to reaching that level.
"I-if… If you know this…. Then do you also know of a thod to prevent it?" Princess Feng Lan asked, her eyes slightly red.
"I don't." Lin Mu shook his head. Even Xukong had said that there was nothing he could do, as it was simply not within the scope of his abilities.
