Chapter : 3
The Judgement of the bloodline.
-----------------------
"Next…!"
"Test the second child!"
All poeple directly looked, were Ji Yuyue and little Qing Tian, the second twin, who was sleeping in the chest of his mother.
Qing Feng came in front of Ji Yuyue, handed little Qing Long to her arms, and then took the sleeping Qing Tian from her embrace.
Little Qing Tian opened his small, beautiful blue eyes and looked up at his surroundings, while opening his small mouth.
Then, as if he wasfrightened by something, he quickly buried his small cute face in his father's embrace.
Noticing the action of little Qing Tian, no one paid much attention.
They were all waiting for the blood test.
Qing Feng gently held Qing Tian's fingers and pricked out a single drop of blood.
A drop of blood flowed from the little finger, and with a soft cry of pain in his finger, Qing Tian looked aggrieved at his father, making his face like he was angry at him.
Although he might not know who the person, who is holding, him truly was, but the sense of familiarity and blood coming from the sense, the feeling that this person was always by his side, made him less afraid, even without understanding why, who is only three month old.
The blood floated in the air for a moment, then, suddenly, the drop of the blood, dropping onto the altar.
The moment it fell on the altar, the altar trembled as the blood sank inside of it.
However, unlike Qing Long's testing, where the altar was glowing and dazzling, making the hall shine, however for Qing Tian, there was no movement at all.
And even if there was, it was very weak, unstable, and almost invisible to the naked eyes of the people present here, only thin strand of the spiritual power they can pricieve.
The runes on the altar stirred for a few breaths before dimming into silence, as if not taking into the recognisation of the effort.
An elder, Qing Li, stepped forward. His expression was calm as water, as though he had long known this was destined, and he announced in a flat tone with no emotions on his face:
"The bloodline of Qing Tian is less than 1st grade."
At this time, no one in the entire hall except Ji Yuyue showed any expression.
Even Qing Feng, as the father of Qing Tian, looking at the child in his arms, only sighed faintly in his heart, after all he knew it for a long time.
A ripple of murmurs, among the elders present here, followed by quiet sighs.
They were neither pleased nor disappointed with this result of the Qing Tian.
Only Ji Yuyue trembled slightly as she pulled Qing Long closer to her chest, her hands tightening protectively around him.
There was an unknown emotion in her heart.
Although for her it was the first time seeing this, she was once a Saint of the sect before marrying into the Qing Clan, so she herself knew something about it.
Not to mention, even Elder Qing Li had personally announced that Qing Tian's bloodline was lower than the lowest level that the main branch of the Qing Clan would even consider, if one were from the main line.
She mustered her courage and finally spoke:
"Elders, why is the bloodline of Qing Tian like this..?
Even if he didn't have a physique like Xiao Long, his bloodline shouldn't be that low."
Clenching the fist of her other hand, she looked at Qing Hua.
Qing Hua looked at Ji Yuyue with a complicated expression, then glanced at Qing Feng, who was standing expressionless.
"Yuyue, the bloodline, or even if there was any physique within Qing Tian, it was all..."
"It was all devoured by Qing Long...!"
Bang...!!!
Ji Yuyue's fist tightened, and then her eyes fell on little Qing Long, who was still sleeping.
But she suddenly refuted in her heart; how could a mere child, who was just born, be able to devour the bloodline and physique of another child?
"Elder Hua, how is this possible? Qing Long doesn't have any devouring-type physique. How could he devour the physique of Xiao Tian...?" She was confused.
She could still accept it if Xiao Long had a devouring physique; but he didn't.
"Yuyue… the physique of Qing Long is not as simple as you think. The Sun God Body has immense potential, and it also has devouring properties."
"Three million years ago, when the ancestor awakened this physique, they too were born as twins our ancestor and her sister. At that time, our Qing Clan was not very powerful, but rather a second-class, or even you could say just a third-class sect."
"When he was born, it was the same. His sister did not have cultivation talent, because all the essence and nutrition that the womb provided to the children was absorbed by the Sun God Body. And if there are twins, it will only provide the minimal amount for them to survive."
"According to the ancestor, this physique was very powerful. Although his sister was born, the mother of the ancestor died within a few hours of giving birth. The reason for her death was found to be the loss of essence; the mother of the ancestor lost all her essence and bloodline while giving birth to them."
"And even the sister of the ancestor died within just ten years. She was unable to cultivate, and in the end, when she tried to walk the path of cultivation, her body was unable to bear the power of the medicines and heavenly treasures the clan gave her at that time. She died after only a few years. The same reason, the lack of essence; made her body unable to grow, and she perished."
"Later, the ancestor discovered that this physique, which is related to the power of Yang, seems to attract Yin Qi, especially if there is any physique related to Yin Qi female."
"And then ancestor finally married the girl that had the physique of Yin. Earlier, when ancestor and his wife were having intercourse, according to the law of Yin-Yang, the cultivation of both should have increased. At first, it indeed increased, but slowly it started to devour the physique of the wife of the ancestor."
"Fortunately, ancestor found the heavenly medicine, and the physique of the wife of the ancestor finally evolved, and they were almost equal after that. And then the main Qing Clan that dominated the entire southern region was born, with the bloodline of the Qing Clan ancestor and his wife, whose children were born and spread."
And this is the same case with Qing Long and Qing Tian.
When the two brothers were in the womb of Ji Yuyue, the dominant and devouring physique of Qing Long devoured all the essence, bloodline, and even the nutrition that Qing Tian needed for talent.
And without that, it was like waste.
And fortunately Ji Yuyue's life was saved. If it weren't for her reaching the realm of the Saints, and the clan's heavenly resources that provided origin to Ji Yuyue, there was a chance that even Ji Yuyue would have died after being devoured by Qing Long's physique.
Thinking of this, Ji Yuyue took Qing Tian into her embrace while holding Qing Long in the other.
Caressing the bodies of both, a drop of tear came from the eyes of Ji Yuyue.
She couldn't help but feel sympathetic to her child, who had his physique devoured by another.
At this time, Qing Hua finally spoke again.
"Yuyue… I know that as a mother, this is almost impossible to accept. But you are not only the mother of Qing Tian, but also the mother of Qing Long.
And I think you also know that Elder Yun personally came to our clan, saying that Qing Long will be the greatest genius of the Qing Clan, and that he even has the chance of reaching the Immortal Realm, which everyone in this world dreams of.
And as a mother, because of Qing Tian, you cannot discriminate against the love Qing Long has for you. I think he may need it even more than Qing Tian personally."
Listening to Qing Hua, Ji Yuyue didn't say anything, but looked at her husband.
When Qing Feng noticed the gaze of Ji Yuyue, he also nodded. As the patriarch of the Qing Clan, standing at the top of the pyramid of the human race in the Desolate Mystic World, he had to think of the clan before his role as a father.
Not to mention, both children were his own.
Even if he had to choose, he would choose Qing Long, who had the potential to make the clan leap forward even more.
"Yuyue, let's go to the courtyard." Coming near to Ji Yuyue, Qing Feng patted her shoulder and sighed.
"Don't worry. If his physique allows cultivation, our clan will definitely not abandon Qing Tian," Elder Qing Li took the lead in saying, as if comforting them.
"Umm…!!!"
She had nothing more to say. She could only give up everything to her fate.
Embracing the two children in her arms, Qing Feng and Ji Yuyue left the ancestral hall and went toward their courtyard.
Watching them leave, the remaining elders didn't say anything, just looked on and sighed.
"Elder Wang, you should know the rule of the clan. Without talent, no one will obtain the resources of the clan; even if he is from the main branch of the clan."
At this time, an elder, Qing Hao, in his mid-fifties, finally spoke. He had been watching from the beginning without saying a word until now.
Qing Wang raised his head and frowned for a second but didn't reply.
As a supreme elder of the clan, his every move determined the position of the patriarch that his son held.
If he favored Qing Tian against the rules of the clan, then he would be breaking them.
If Qing Tian had been a genius like Qing Long, it would have had no impact, because geniuses are nurtured and exception. But who would be willing to waste resources on someone like Qing Tian, when no one knew if he would even survive?
Not to mention the scarcity and competition between the people of the clan for resources.
Even a top clan like the Qing Clan would not waste resources. Because from the amount of resources given to Qing Tian, the return would be zero. But if given to a normal genius, they could still be of use.
And this time, almost all the elders of the clan nodded.
"Hmmm… what Elder Qing Hao said is right. We cannot afford to waste resources. So Qing Tian will receive the same resources according to the clan's talent level. And since his bloodline level is around or below one, the resources will be the same as those given to a branch clan member of level one."
"However, the physique of Qing Tian is really unsuitable for cultivation. So instead of that, he will receive some low-level life origin healing resources."
"Raise your hand, if anyone has any other opinion on this," Qing Hua raised her voice and asked the elders of the clan.
At this time, no one raised their hand, which meant they acknowledged the decision.
Even Qing Wang didn't say anything, just accepted the fact.
Qing Hao looked at the calm but restrained expression of Qing Wang, and the smile on his face was refreshing.
If it weren't for Qing Long being the brother of Qing Tian, he might have already proposed the idea of letting Qing Tian… leave the clan once he grew up.
