The three droplets of blood finally fused into one under the elder's control, turning into a blood bead the size of a grape.
The blood bead was crystalline and it reflected the Myriad God Ridge sect master's face.
As he stared at the blood bead, a fanatical look appeared on his aged face.
Upon seeing the elder's expression, Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat. On careful thought, what was the drop of blood the elder had taken out?
For him to treat a drop of blood with such solemnity, it was definitely not easy to obtain.
Was it possible that the drop of blood was left behind by a disciple who had entered the sect ahead of the others and had once triggered the Ascending Dragon Cauldron?
But those disciples, where did they go?
Over the years, the Myriad God Ridge had been recruiting disciples on a large scale. It was likely that it had accumulated quite a number of disciples with 'wisdom roots!'
However, Yi Yun had heard of few disciples with 'wisdom roots' in the sect. Apart from him and Snake Girl, there were few.
Upon coming to this realization, Yi Yun had an ominous feeling.
"Let's begin …"
The elder focused on controlling the drop of blood. Under his control, the drop of blood flew towards the Ascending Dragon Cauldron.
The elder looked at all of this as though he was witnessing the birth of a brand new world.
Finally, the drop of blood landed in the Ascending Dragon Cauldron, right in the eyes of the black dragon sculpture.
The drop of blood slowly fused into it as the black dragon's eyes turned brighter. The silent Ascending Dragon Cauldron seemed to come alive at that moment!
"Boom!"
The Ascending Dragon Cauldron blasted out immense energy as a terrifying aura surged in every direction. Snake Girl, who had a weaker cultivation level, could not withstand it at all. She spat out a mouthful of blood as her body flew backward.
Yi Yun's strength was much higher than Snake Girl's after all. He could still withstand the aura, but to not stand out too much, he pretended to be unable to withstand it.
And at that moment, the Myriad God Ridge sect master was in the midst of the storm. His hair was disheveled and his eyes were filled with a zealous glint.
"Open! Open! "
The elder roared inwardly as the dragon sculpture trembled violently. A black dragon soul appeared faintly at the mouth of the cauldron, as though it was about to break free!
"It's out! The Dragon Emperor's soul!"
The elder's eyes were filled with excitement but he was not overly excited. This was because the scene in front of him had happened several times in the past.
Every time he attempted to use his Dragon Emperor bloodline to awaken the Ascending Dragon Cauldron, he would more or less trigger the dragon soul. However, he would always fail.
This was the first time the old man had placed his hopes on it, and it was also the first time the reaction was the strongest!
However …
The Black Dragon phantom appeared for several breaths of time, but it did not grow any stronger.
After that, the energy spewing out of the Ascending Dragon Cauldron no longer increased. Instead, it gradually weakened.
The Black Dragon's shadow also became more and more blurry, and it gradually disappeared.
"What!?"
The old man panicked when he saw this!
He failed!?
The dragon soul weakened until it completely vanished. The energy storm also came to a complete stop. The Ascending Dragon Cauldron remained standing in the middle of the hall, as though nothing had happened.
Upon seeing this scene, the elder lost his wits. He fell silent for a very long time as his eyes continued staring at the Ascending Dragon Cauldron, as though he was hoping for a miracle to reverse the situation.
However, nothing changed in the end.
He had really failed!
The old man took a few steps back and turned around. At that moment, he seemed even older.
His entire body exuded a thick aura of death, as if he was about to walk into a grave. He had already made eight attempts, but none of them succeeded. And he did not have much time left!
The elder slowly turned his head and gave Yi Yun a glance. This glance left Yi Yun's heart palpitating. It was an indescribable look. It was filled with disappointment, indignation, and ferociousness …
"Your blood …" said the elder in a deep voice.
The elder said in a deep voice. The effects of Yi Yun's blood were much worse than he had expected.
He originally believed that Yi Yun's appearance was an opportunity for him to awaken the Ascending Dragon Cauldron, but he had failed. He had even wasted a precious blood catalyst.
The blood catalyst used the blood marrow of a dragon-shaped Ancient Fey as its foundation, fusing it with the bloodline essence of a 'wisdom root' disciple.
Every wasted drop left the elder's heart aching.
And the reason for this outcome was that Yi Yun had given him false expectations.
It was a fact that Yi Yun had stirred the Ascending Dragon Cauldron's dragon soul, but the quality of his bloodline was so poor that it was impossible for such a bloodline to stir the Ascending Dragon Cauldron's dragon soul. Was there some hidden reason behind this?
The elder stared intently at Yi Yun. His deep gaze was as sharp as a blade, as though it could pierce through Yi Yun.
But from beginning to end, Yi Yun remained expressionless.
He looked calm on the surface but he was sneering inwardly.
The failure to awaken the Ascending Dragon Cauldron was in line with his wishes. To use him as a guinea pig and let his blood be drained was something he yearned for.
"Senior Brother, what do we do?"
Seeing that the awakening of the Ascending Dragon Cauldron had failed, the old woman beside Snake Girl was extremely disappointed.
As a result, she began to hate Yi Yun and Snake Girl.
When she saw the elder remain silent and only look at Yi Yun, the old woman could not help but curse, "It's all because of the two of you disappointing fools. The Myriad God Ridge made an exception to take you in and gave you such good treatment, but your 'wisdom roots' are so poor. You wasted a blood catalyst for nothing. Useless trash!"
The old woman said harshly. In fact, Snake Girl was under her jurisdiction to begin with.
"Grandmaster, what happened to me …"
Snake Girl was dumbfounded. She did not know what had happened, but she was suddenly scolded by the old woman.
"Forget it." The Myriad God Ridge sect master waved his hand. "I probably made a mistake in judgment. Let them leave."
"Then, I shall take my leave."
Yi Yun bowed with an indifferent expression and turned to leave with the baffled Snake Girl.
The old woman watched Yi Yun leave. When Yi Yun's figure vanished, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes. "That punk, I really want to kill him with a single palm strike! His eyes and demeanor show that he has no respect for the two of us. He knows that it is because of his impure bloodline that we failed to awaken the Ascending Dragon Cauldron and even wasted a blood catalyst. But look at him. Not only does he not feel any guilt, he's just short of gloating over our misfortune! "
The Myriad God Ridge sect master did not say a word. He looked at the door that Yi Yun had vanished from without a word.
"This Yi Yun is not simple. I can see through many members of the younger generation at a glance, but this person seems to be hiding something …"
"What is it?" The old woman's expression turned cold. "Awakening the Ascending Dragon Cauldron is of utmost importance. How can we allow this punk to have his own thoughts? I'll capture him and interrogate him. I want to see what other secrets he has!"
"No, don't act rashly." The elder shook his head. He looked at the Ascending Dragon Cauldron again and recalled the process of awakening it.
