Chapter 498 Appearance
"Seven branches are more than enough, but eight branches are not full. What a pity."
Gu Qingyang sighed as he looked at the abnormal movement caused by Yao Ling at this moment.
"Even if it is only a seventh-grade bloodline, it is only a matter of time before it becomes an eighth-grade bloodline in the future."
Gu Yao did not think there was anything to regret. Although bloodline can be improved through self-cultivation, the degree to which it can be achieved is not as natural as ordinary people think.
Bloodline is something that is destined at birth, and the improvement brought by self-cultivation can only be regarded as icing on the cake.
For a bloodline like Yao Ling, it is naturally very good to finalize the eighth-grade bloodline in the future.
And with Yao Wangui's announcement, the audience was naturally hot and boiling. The long-renowned goddess of the Yao clan is naturally worthy of such a powerful bloodline.
However, this powerful bloodline is the glory of Yao Ling, but it also makes many Yao clan youths who have no chance to participate in the adult ceremony give up the idea of continuing to pursue it. After all, among the ancient clans, although the power of bloodline is not everything, it is enough to influence the future direction of their lives. Clan members with stronger bloodlines often mean that they can go further, which is beyond doubt.
On the other hand, the bloodline displayed by Yao Ling now makes those clan members who have no chance to participate in this adult ceremony discouraged, but also makes those young talents who are qualified to stand at the top of the young generation of Yao clan look at Yao Ling more and more.
After all, women are everywhere, but the most powerful and outstanding women are undoubtedly the most popular existence wherever they are.
Even Yao Ling, who was indifferent, couldn't help but smile when she heard Yao Wangui's announcement. The people of the Yao Clan cared about their bloodline very much, which was the same for any ancient race. As Yao Wangui finished speaking, a golden spiritual medicine pattern that was better than Yao Xingji was engraved on Yao Ling's smooth forehead.
The Yao Clan bloodline at the peak of the seventh rank could be transformed into the eighth rank sooner or later, which was the best gift for Yao Ling.
After Yao Ling's blood awakening ceremony ended, Yao Wangui glanced at the list and then said loudly: "Next, Yao Tian!"
As Yao Wangui's voice fell, before Yao Tian officially appeared, the Yao clan members outside the square couldn't help but boil. As the undisputed leader and strongest of this generation of Yao clan, Yao Tian naturally has extraordinary popularity among the younger generation of Yao clan, not to mention that Yao Tian and Yao Ling are brothers and sisters from the same mother, which is a good story.
Accompanied by the rustling sound of waving robes, Yao Tian passed through the crowd and passed by Yao Ling.
Yao Tian was not at all surprised by his sister's achievements, and Yao Ling was naturally full of confidence in his brother.
The young talents of the eight ancient clans couldn't help but narrow their eyes slightly. If Yao Ling was familiar to them, then Yao Tian was well-known.
What level can the leaders of this generation of the Yao Clan achieve? This is indeed something they need to care about. After all, the future of the eight clans lies in them. Their potential will largely determine the strength of the next generation of the eight clan leaders.
Yao Tian looked straight ahead and finally stood slowly in front of the clan monument. Facing the brand new water pot and jade needle in front of him, he slowly raised his hand and a drop of liquid, which was already mostly golden, fell into the water pot.
In a blink of an eye, the sacred tree in the water pot pulled out branches, the first branch, the second branch, the third branch, the fourth branch, and the fifth branch.
When the fifth branch appeared, the sacred tree was as thick as a thigh, but it was still full of momentum. This momentum alone was far better than Yao Xingji and Yao Ling.
After the sixth branch, the speed at which the sacred tree pulled out branches slowed down significantly, but the sacred tree was still growing wildly. In a blink of an eye, the height of the tree crown had exceeded the height of the sacred tree virtual image that Yao Ling had just displayed his bloodline.
Then the seventh branch came, and the virtual image of the sacred tree continued to rise, but the speed was getting slower and slower. Countless people of the Medicine Clan couldn't help holding their breath, while Lei Xiao and Gu Qingyang had already vaguely anticipated what the final result would be.
The eighth branch was successfully pulled out from the trunk of the sacred tree and was located at the top of the tree canopy, but the speed was getting slower and slower.
Is there any hope for the ninth branch?
The hearts of the elders of the Medicine Clan were extremely hot. If they could give birth to another member of the ninth-grade bloodline in their Medicine Clan, they could ensure that the Medicine Clan would prosper for a thousand years.
Even Yao Tian's heart gradually became nervous and urgent. Of course, he could feel the urgent expectations from the clan members and elders. He naturally wanted to prove himself. His eyes full of passion reflected the virtual image of the sacred tree, which was gradually growing slowly, and he hoped that a miracle would happen.
However, when the eighth branch grew to its limit, the virtual image of the sacred tree that grew out of the water pot completely stopped growing.
The answer had already appeared in everyone's heart.
The peak of the eighth-grade bloodline is only one step away from the ninth-grade, but it is this one step that makes a world of difference.
Obviously, the results are far better than those of his younger sister Yao Ling, but for some reason, the atmosphere in front of the clan monument instead emerges with a hint of helplessness and desolation.
A bloodline that stops at the peak of the eighth grade, no matter which ancient race it is placed in, will definitely be cultivated with great attention, but everyone knows that whether it is the Yao clan or Yao Tian himself, this expectation has exceeded the limit of this bloodline.
"What a pity."
Gu Qingyang shook his head. The peak of the eighth grade bloodline is also extraordinary, but it is only one step away from the ninth grade. But it is this step that makes a world of difference. I think it must be extremely uncomfortable for me.
"It's really a pity."
Lei Xiao sighed. This one step away is that no amount of effort, inheritance, and resources can make up for it.
Moreover, even if they are all from the eight ancient clans, the same bloodline does not mean that they can eventually reach the same realm.
For example, the ancient clan and the Yao clan both have a member of the ninth grade bloodline. The talent and efforts they have made are all the same. The holder of the ninth grade bloodline of the ancient clan will definitely be stronger than the holder of the ninth grade bloodline of the Yao clan.
This is the difference in heritage and inheritance. Although the Yao Clan is not short of resources, it is destined to not be able to create a truly powerful peak person with resources alone.
"Eighth-grade peak bloodline, this one step away is already an insurmountable natural chasm."
Lei Xiao let out a long breath. He is only an eighth-grade bloodline, but if he really fights, he is not necessarily weaker than Yao Tian.
However, the eighth-grade peak bloodline is not weak at all. Because of this, at least there is no need to worry that the bloodline of the clan will not deteriorate within two generations.
It's just that if you want to go further, it's probably unlikely.
Along with the sighs in everyone's hearts, a Yao Clan pattern that has basically faded from green to a dark and restrained purple-gold color is engraved on Yao Tian's brow. At this point, everything is a foregone conclusion.
The complexity on Yao Tian's face gradually faded away and he returned to calmness.
The peak bloodline of the eighth rank is not bad in any case, but why is he so obsessed with the ninth rank... Yao Tian finally exhaled a breath of turbid air. There are too many reasons and too complicated, but since it has become a foregone conclusion, there is naturally nothing to say.
The adult ceremony ended here, and the news that Yao Tian, the most well-known new genius of the Yao clan, awakened the peak bloodline of the eighth rank will soon spread throughout the eight clans.
However, no one lost interest after the climax of this adult ceremony, and began to become careless. Instead, they took the initiative to look forward to the next person who will come on stage and perform the adult ceremony.
Because everyone present knew very well that Yao Tian was not the climax of this adult ceremony, but just the finale.
And the real main axis has not yet appeared.
"Next, Yao Wan!"
Yao Wangui had already memorized the list of names. After Yao Tian, he finally said that everyone was silently looking forward to the appearance of the real protagonist.
Yao Tian, who was about to return to his seat, was startled. He saw a plain figure walking slowly on the wide avenue facing the clan monument. The sound of her cloud boots stepping on the stone slabs of the square echoed in everyone's heart. Everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on her. There was no need to make noise or look around. Just walking slowly, she had already captured everyone's attention.
If the eldest lady of the ancient clan gave people the feeling of being gentle, elegant, and generous, then the eldest lady of the Yao clan was like the moon, cold, indifferent, visible but untouchable.
Yao Tian looked at the beauty who was getting closer and closer to him, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
He wanted to say a few words of comfort to her, but before he could show any reaction, Yao Wan passed him by.
Yao Tian was slightly stunned, thinking in his heart, if it was Yao Wan, she would definitely be of the ninth-grade bloodline.
If his blood power could also reach the ninth rank, would it be able to attract her attention?
However, this wishful thinking was quickly rejected by Yao Tian himself. Just thinking about it would make him realize that it was impossible.
In front of the Eight Clan Stage, Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi focused their attention, Lei Yun subconsciously bit the grass in his mouth, Gu Yao slowly opened his eyes, and Lei Xiao could no longer maintain his previous composure. Only Gu Qingyang, who had been watching carefully from beginning to end, had an unchanged expression.
Gu Qingyang looked at Yao Wan's figure standing in front of the clan monument and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Finally, the highlight has arrived."
"Finally, it's the young lady's turn to appear on stage."
Qinglin's pretty face was full of excitement. Although the young lady had never cared about the coming-of-age ceremony of the Yao Clan, Qinglin, who had lived in the Yao Clan for so many years, was looking forward to the young lady's dignified appearance and amazing performance after she appeared on stage.
