Grand Ancestral Bloodlines-Novel

Jenneless could only watch as the Radiant Star Sect left, her elder unable to do a single thing. This was already the strongest elder they could call down, if they started interrupting Ancestors for such a small, insignificant matter, where would their face go?

Despite this, Jenneless was truly infuriated, there was just nothing that she could do.

"Senior, are we really going to let them go just like this? I'm not satisfied?"

The old woman looked toward Jenneless with quite a bit of surprise. This wasn't because of the words she was speaking per se, but rather because these words came from Jenneless of all people. In fact, now that she thought about it, Jenneless' actions until now were off.

The old woman's gaze flashed and her expression changed.

"Your soul? Why is it so damaged?"

Jenneless' expression flickered. She didn't really want to let the elders know about this because it could mess with her current standing in the Sect. Although she was quite secure, she didn't like taking such chances. Unfortunately, although her original intention was to keep somewhat of a low profile, she was finding it harder and harder to control herself properly.

Plus, she didn't want to share information about the Perfect Blackbody soul she had run into because that would mean potentially having to share in whatever spoils she managed to gain. This would also expose other things she was very much not willing to.

"Do not worry about this, Senior. I will be able to fix it in a few months so long as we return. But this matter is too big to ignore."

Although the old woman's gaze still flickered, she could only set the matter aside. Although Jenneless called her senior, their standing was very close to identical. She couldn't press Jenneless too hard about anything.

As things stood now, Jenneless was still their best chance at succeeding in crossing the Heavenly Path, so her will was quite important.

Still, even with this being the case, Jenneless wasn't a fool. Despite the backing she had, she wouldn't casually reveal such important things because even she could end up being backstabbed. The lure of an Ancestral Grade soul was far too high.

The more she thought about that situation, the more odd she found it.

An Ancestral Grade soul, had it been at her level, should have been enough to directly kill her. The fact that this person had "spared" her had to have its reasons. Jenneless didn't believe for a single moment that anyone would be so benevolent, especially since she had displayed her killing intent first.

The only explanation was that this talent had far lower cultivation than herself. This meant that despite having such talent, there was an excellent chance that Jenneless would be able to defeat this individual, maybe even with quite some ease.

Jenneless was a bit ashamed that it had taken her so long to think of this, but it couldn't be helped considering the state of disarray her mind and soul was in. But now that she had, she was even more confident in dealing with this individual… so long as she could find them.

'Such a person wouldn't be on the First Heaven for no reason. Heavens below the Fourth have too small of a chance at forming Ancestral Grade talents, especially ones like the Perfect Blackbody which presents much more like a greater talent.

'In that case, this person is either from a destroyed Clan or Sect of a higher Heaven, or they come from a lower level world. If that's the case…'

Jenneless was snapped out of her thoughts by the words of the old woman.

"She is far more powerful than me, there isn't anything I can do. However, I would not worry too much about it. If they dare to ascend to the Second Heaven, especially when we've entered a rare state of peace, they'll find themselves to have become public enemy number one."

The old woman's words weren't wrong. Whether it was the Second or Third Heaven, both had entered a rare state of peace as they all focused on grooming the next batch to enter the Heavenly Path. The only scuffles were amongst the younger generation and that was entirely so that they could temper themselves for what was to come.

However, if someone tried to disrupt that balance now, they would gain the attention of everyone at once. Such a thing would be a death sentence.

Who cared how powerful Elder Aika was? She couldn't be everywhere at once, right?

In addition, they were well aware of just how weak the disciples of the Radiant Star Sect were. Even if they had a genius of an elder, what good did it do them if they were constantly being crushed by their opposition?

As far as the old woman saw it, the moment Elder Aika dared to step foot onto the Second Heaven, death would be all that awaited them.The source of this content is novelenglish.net . (f)ire

"Hm?"

The old woman turned her head to find that the Lurking Vine Sect actually had a genius of the First Heaven by their side.

The old woman frowned, wanting to question what was happening. But to her shock, the teleportation array had already been activated. It was clear that the youths of the Lurking Vine Sect didn't want to explain their position, simply taking their chosen genius and whisking them away before the elder of the Carving Ice Sect could say anything.

The old woman's good mood at the thought of the Radiant Star Sect's fall vanished. She had wanted to make a united front and teach the First Heaven a lesson they would never forget by not accepting any of their geniuses, but she never thought that two juniors wouldn't even allow her the chance to make this command.

She was infuriated.

Unfortunately, the Lurking Vine Sect was no less powerful than her Carving Ice Sect. If they had made such a choice, it was already too late to do much of anything.
