She was merely a Martial G.o.d, but if she wanted to a.s.sist him in his breakthrough, she had to harness the power of inheritance.
Gu Chaoyan let out a small sigh.
Her initial reason for joining the Supreme Sect had been solely to acquire the One Origin Gra.s.s, but being a member of the sect carried certain responsibilities. Yuan Jia was her Senior Brother, and she couldn’t turn a blind eye to his plight. That was her duty.
With her resolve firm, Gu Chaoyan began channeling the power of inheritance.
When the potent energy of the Dragon Race reached its peak, the room was engulfed in a brilliant blue light that converged upon Yuan Jia.
Moments later, the radiance dissipated.
By this time, Yuan Jia had already regained consciousness.
His face lit up with joy as he exclaimed, “I’ve broken through! I’ve truly broken through!”
He had been stuck at this level for far too long. Breaking through had not been easy, and Yuan Jia had every reason to be ecstatic.
“Kneel!” Elder Man thundered with a stern expression. His anger toward Yuan Jia was palpable.
Confused, Yuan Jia had no idea what he had done wrong.
This breakthrough had been a monumental struggle, and he had finally achieved it. He was delighted to be accepted into the sect, but why was Elder Man demanding that he kneel?
Yuan Jia knelt down, utterly perplexed.
“Not to me, but to Gu Chaoyan,” Elder Man clarified. Though he had initially harbored doubts about Gu Chaoyan, he now understood her sacrifice. Without her intervention, Yuan Jia’s cultivation would have been lost, let alone his breakthrough.
Good and evil were clearly defined, and in this instance, they had revealed themselves exactly as they should have.
Yuan Jia found himself growing increasingly bewildered.
“You were afflicted by Energy Deviation. Had it not been for Gu Chaoyan, who intervened and shared some of her power with you, you would have forfeited all your progress,” Elder Man of the Fist Sect declared in a chilly tone.
Elder Man, a member of the Supreme Sect, was well aware of Gu Chaoyan’s unique inheritance from the Dragon Race. He understood that inheriting such power was more a matter of fortune than effort, which made it exceptionally hard to obtain. Gu Chaoyan had sacrificed a substantial portion of this precious inheritance for Yuan Jia’s sake—a monumental sacrifice indeed.
It was only at this moment that Yuan Jia truly comprehended the gravity of the situation, causing sweat to bead on his brow. He was left pondering the dire consequences if Gu Chaoyan had not intervened.
Yuan Jia was about to kneel down in grat.i.tude when Gu Chaoyan prevented him. “Senior Brother Yuan Jia, don’t be so hasty in your pursuits from now on, or I may not be able to come to your aid again.”
With these words, Gu Chaoyan felt the pressing need to take a respite. Sharing part of her inheritance had left her feeling considerably drained.
She required a break.
Elder Lin had noticed her fatigue and offered a suggestion. “You’ve expended some of your inheritance power and currently feel weakened. How about heading to the 500-meter spring on Wuyuan Island to expedite your recovery? You’ve triumphed in the Wuyuan Island compet.i.tion, and according to the rules, Moon Sect’s cheating amounts to a loss, ensuring Supreme Sect’s direct owners.h.i.+p of the spring water. Although you aren’t officially a partic.i.p.ant in the contest, you still deserve a share of the spring water’s benefits.”
“Very well, off you go,” Elder Lin urged.
No one raised any objections to his suggestion.
The Supreme Sect was heavily dependent on her, and she rightfully deserved it.
Gu Chaoyan nodded appreciatively. “I appreciate it, Elder Lin.”
With her grat.i.tude expressed, she made ready to depart.
Di Hongyun couldn’t hide his envy, but the Head of the Undead Race displayed a look of contempt. Such practices were not in alignment with the Undead Race’s principles, and as such, he had no interest in them. His focus lay squarely on Gu Chaoyan’s pills..
