Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

In the past two weeks, they had heard Ling Yi's name more than once, but it was always about Ling Yi's cultivation speed, not his cultivation level. Moreover, only a few people had seen Ling Yi kill the three-headed python, and no one else had seen it. Naturally, they did not believe that Ling Yi's true strength did not match his cultivation level. But now, they had no choice but to believe it.

"The spiritual energy is weakening." While others were discussing Ling Yi's Ghost-Slaying Vine, Mu Shengyuan clearly sensed that the spiritual energy in the area was weakening, but after saying that, Mu Shengyuan froze.

The spiritual energy was indeed weakening, but the change was slow. She was currently weak, so it shouldn't be so easy to detect, yet she sensed it...

Thinking of blood, Mu Shengyuan collected his thoughts, stood up with Yan Wuxin's help, and looked at the people around him: "Gui Teng is dead, and those human skins... are the elders and teachers who died. You should keep them safe and send them back to the Empire."

Upon hearing this, everyone who was discussing stopped and looked at the human skin lying on the ground not far away.

The Southern Kingdom has lost four elders and several teachers here. Now that it is confirmed that they have perished, everyone is deeply saddened: "Your subordinate will obey the princess's orders and will ensure that the elders and teachers are safely sent home."

Mu Shengyuan continued, "The corpse of the Ghost Vine turned into liquid and fell into the soil, causing the grass and trees to wither and die, which shows its extreme poison. Tell the people of Chun Kingdom about this and let them spread the word to prevent the poison of the Ghost Vine from harming people."

After Mu Shengyuan finished speaking, a person from the Spring Kingdom immediately responded, "Yes."

"One last thing: after Ghost Vine died, the strange wood spirit source that I was devoured has returned." Mu Shengyuan looked at everyone: "It needs time to stabilize, so it will be inconvenient for me to see you all from now on."

"They're back?" The people from the Southern Kite Empire were overjoyed upon hearing this. "Princess, it's good news that the Strange Wood Spirit Source has returned. Please rest assured and continue your cultivation. We will take care of everything."

The people of Chun Kingdom also sincerely offered their blessings: "Congratulations on the princess's recovery!"

Mu Shengyuan didn't say anything more. After giving his instructions, he left with Yan Wuxin.

After the two left, they went to find Ling Yi in the tent area prepared for the Dongyang Empire.

On the way there, Yan Wuxin thought of what Ling Yi had said and asked curiously, "Xiao Yuan, Ling Yi said before that what you wanted was in her hands. What was it?"

Mu Shengyuan said, "It's Ghost Vine Source. Ling Yi said it would be useful for my Strange Wood Spirit Source."

“The Ghost Vine is wood, and your spiritual root attribute is also wood. After refining and absorbing it, it will be a great tonic for people with wood attribute spiritual roots.” Yan Wuxin said happily, “After absorbing it, your exotic wood spiritual source will definitely be upgraded.”

Mu Shengyuan was also looking forward to it. After the two arrived at the Dongyang Empire's tent area, they met the other students who had left the Dongyang Empire. After asking them which tent Ling Yi was in, they went over there.

The two were so focused on finding Ling Yi that they didn't notice a man returning to the tent area after them.

...

Inside the tent, Ling Yi had already tidied everything up after returning. Seeing Mu Shengyuan and Yan Wuxin arrive, she took out the Ghost Vine Source Pearl.

“This…” Mu Shengyuan stared at the pitch-black Ghost Vine Source Pearl, stumped.

It's true that Ghost Vine belongs to the Wood element, but this Ghost Vine Source Pearl is extremely cold and yin. In addition, Ghost Vine itself is special, and even with the power of the Imperial Alchemists, it is probably impossible to refine it. In fact, it can be absorbed without refining, but that is only for people with high cultivation levels. For people with low cultivation levels, forcibly absorbing it will have the opposite effect.

Mushengyuan is the latter.

If she can't absorb it, then this thing is useless if she keeps it.

Just as Mu Shengyuan was in a dilemma, Ling Yi turned his head to look at Yan Wuxin: "There's a problem."

Yan Wuxin asked with a smile, "Little sister Yi, is there a problem?"

Ling Yi's gaze fell on Yan Wuxin's hair: "Is your hair color the same as her eye color?"

Yan Wuxin was somewhat bewildered: "What do you mean?"

Ling Yi: "Inherited from whom, or... is it because of the source of the strange fire?"

"This is because of the source of the strange fire," Yan Wuxin said with a smile.

Ling Yi: "There's no such thing as heredity?"

Yan Wuxin pondered for a moment: "There are rumors in the royal family that our ancestor was red-haired."

Before Ling Yi could say anything, Yan Wuxin said again, "But we didn't think about our ancestors."

"Why?" Ling Yi asked.

Yan Wuxin: "Because there have always been red-haired people in the Western Yan Empire, my brother and I are not the only ones."

After hearing this, Ling Yi looked at Mu Shengyuan: "Is the Southern Kite Empire just you?"

Mu Shengyuan understood what she meant and nodded, "Mm."

Having received an answer, Ling Yi remained silent, but Mu Shengyuan couldn't help but ask, "Ling Yi, is this related to the blood you asked me to take?"

Ling Yi glanced at Mu Shengyuan but did not answer immediately. He raised his hand and set up a soundproof barrier. After the barrier was set up, Ling Yi spoke: "The strange wood spirit source has been devoured by the ghost vine for a month and has not been integrated. I am a little curious and want to see what is special about it. Therefore, I hid it aside and left you to deal with the ghost vine."

Mu Shengyuan was somewhat surprised: "So you've been here all along..." No wonder you were able to step in at the crucial moment.

Ling Yi glanced at Mu Shengyuan: "You are the object of my observation, so naturally I can't leave. When you decided to self-destruct, I thought I wouldn't be able to see it, but later... I saw it."

Ling Yi looked at Mu Shengyuan: "At that time, you unleashed the power of the divine descendant. Although only a tenth of that power remained, it was still there."

"Divine power?" Mu Shengyuan asked, "What is that?"

“Divine Descendant, or in full, Descendant of the Gods.” Ling Yi said slowly, “Your ancestor should have been a descendant of the Gods. In your case, the power of the bloodline reappeared, but since you are not your ancestor, you only inherited a trace of the power of the bloodline.”

"Descendants of the gods?"

Mu Shengyuan and Yan Wuxin were both stunned.

Simply put, this existence is too unfamiliar.

Ling Yi looked at the two people's expressions thoughtfully. In places where descendants of the gods appear, there should be related legends. Why do these two look completely unfamiliar with them and seem to know nothing about it?

Legends cannot be stopped unless... someone or some force makes them forget about the descendants of the gods from their very roots.

"Ling Yi, we haven't heard any related rumors." Yan Wuxin stared intently at Ling Yi: "How do you know?"

“Good question.” Ling Yi played with the Ghost Vine Source Bead and said slowly, “I just want to see what’s different about the people chosen by the Strange Wood Spirit Source. In fact, I don’t know anything about the descendants of the gods, but…” After seeing the power that the Wood Source had unleashed, records about that power came to mind.

Interesting.

"In short, I know." Ling Yi looked at the two of them: "I only know that it is the power of the divine descendants. I don't know anything else. If you want the answer, you can find it yourselves."

Before the two could speak, Ling Yi said again, "I have done what I promised you, and now it's time to fulfill my promise."
