According to the ancient records, the Heavenly Asura Race was born with a unique advantage. Almost everyone had the aptitude for cultivation, and peerless geniuses that rarely appeared in thousands of years would often emerge.
It was also because of this that this race could be so powerful during its heyday. Otherwise, with just a Starry Sky Treasure, if the potential of the race was not enough, it would not be able to become strong. Whether a race could become strong or not depended on its clansmen.
Aqido was a member of the Heavenly Asura Race, so it was not strange for her to have such aptitude.
"This is where your race lives in seclusion?" Lu Ye asked.
Since the Heavenly Asura Race still had Aqido, there must be other clansmen, but he had not seen them yet.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he roughly knew the reason.
The Heavenly Asura Race was plagued by the bloodline curse, and their lifespan was less than 200 years. Then, there were definitely no powerful cultivators in their race. Yue Yao like Aqido was definitely one of the best among them.
Such a race with such a precious treasure could not be too careful when facing a top expert like Yue Yao.
Moreover … combined with his previous experiences, Lu Ye vaguely understood many things that puzzled him.
"Then why did you bring me here?" Lu Ye asked, already having a guess in his heart.
Aqido did not answer. Instead, she asked, "Senior Brother should be the current successor of the Dao Tree lineage, right?"
"How so?" Lu Ye's expression did not change.
Aqido said, "Back then, the last expert of our race left behind his last words. The bloodline curse of our race can only be cured by the Dao Tree lineage. Therefore, we have been living in seclusion here for so many years, firstly to avoid disaster, and secondly to wait for Senior Brother's arrival!"
Lu Ye thought for a moment and said, "After so many years, there is more than one successor of the Dao Tree. Could it be that you have not waited for other successors?"
The Asura Field was a famous place. Any cultivator who had heard of it would come to see it, so Lu Ye did not feel that he was the only successor of the Dao Tree to come here.
Then why did the previous successors of the Dao Tree not help the Heavenly Asura Race resolve the bloodline curse?
Although Aqido gave him a good impression, there were some things that he still had to be careful about. No matter how poor the Heavenly Asura Race was, they still controlled a Starry Sky Treasure! If he looked down on them because they were in dire straits, it would not end well for him.
Hearing Lu Ye's question, Aqiduo couldn't help but smile bitterly, "According to the past records, in the years since our clan went into seclusion, including senior brother, there have been three successors of the Dao Tree who have entered the Asura Field. The first one was about 50,000 years ago, but when that person came, he was already in the sunshine, so our clan didn't dare to rashly come into contact with him."
It was reasonable. The Heavenly Asura Tribe did not have any elites. How would Rizhao dare to casually come into contact with them? Especially since it was related to a Starry Sky Treasure like the Asura Field, even Rizhao would be tempted.
"And the second one?" Lu Ye asked.
"The second one was a bit more recent, about ten thousand years ago. But according to the records, that person's personality was evil, and he didn't pass the test set by our clan, so he couldn't be entrusted."
Ten thousand years ago … Lu Ye's heart jolted. Wasn't that the Chao Nian of the Nine Prefectures? In the previous nine prefectures, calamities and tribulations were triggered because of him. His nature was indeed evil, because he had used the Talent Tree to devour many geniuses from various top realms.
It was normal that the Heavenly Asura Clan did not dare to rashly come into contact with such a person.
Lu Ye keenly noticed something else. "A test? I passed the test? "
Since Aqido had brought him here and told him so much, it was obvious that he had passed the Heavenly Asura Clan's test.
He couldn't help but think of the various strange things during the last experience … He could see the Asura Marks on those people's heads, and the ordinary people had more Asura Marks than the bandits. In such an environment, no matter who he killed, he could obtain Asura Marks, and many hidden evils could be stimulated.
But from the beginning to the end, he had only killed bandits and bandit army. He had never felt sorry for the ordinary people who had done no evil, and was even willing to lend a hand.
So … that was the test!
"You've been secretly observing me?" Lu Ye frowned and instantly saw through the key point.
"Senior Brother, please forgive us. This matter concerns the future of our clan, so we didn't dare to be careless." Aqido looked apologetic.
"So the fact that I could see the numbers representing the Asura Marks was all because of you?"
Aqido nodded. "With the power of the Asura Field, our clan can do such things. After killing the enemy, you can obtain Asura Marks on the spot with the help of the Asura Field. Because only then can we truly see a person's true nature."
Lu Ye said, "Then what about suppressing my cultivation to Four Apertures?"
Aqido looked embarrassed. "The clan leader said that insignificance reveals one's true nature. The weaker one is, the more one's true nature will be revealed."
Everything was clear now.
No wonder the situation during the last experience was so strange. Lu Ye had felt that the Asura Field was targeting him from the beginning, but now it seemed that it was not the Asura Field that was targeting him, but the Heavenly Asura Clan's arrangement.
"But …" Aqido looked at Lu Ye with a strange expression. "The Asura Field seems to be unable to suppress the power of the Dao Tree, so Senior Brother's cultivation can still improve during the experience, which then led to some adjustments in the Asura Field."
"Adjustments?" Lu Ye looked at her in confusion.
"Well, Senior Brother, didn't you notice that the enemies you encountered later were getting stronger and stronger? This is the result of the Asura Field's adjustments." However, it seemed that it did not cause Lu Ye much trouble from beginning to end.
Lu Ye suddenly understood. At that time, he had felt that the enemies he encountered seemed to be getting stronger as his strength increased. He thought it was normal, but now it seemed that it was the result of the Asura Field's self-adjustment.
To be honest, without the Talent Tree, it would not have been easy for Lu Ye to fight against the Black Turban in such a scene with his cultivation.
But it was because of the Talent Tree that he was able to create the simple Twin Qi Connection Array Disc, and everything went smoothly.
"You've been watching me from the beginning?" Lu Ye asked. Although he knew that the Heavenly Asura Clan had no ill intentions toward him, it still did not feel good to be secretly watched.
"No." Aqido shook her head. Aqiduo shook her head. "Actually, when Senior Brother first came in, we didn't know that you were the successor of the Dao Tree, but we have people who have been watching the Bounty Hall."
"Bounty Hall …" Lu Ye thought for a moment and suddenly realized. After he finished the Moon Jade Roll, he went to the Bounty Hall and accepted a few missions to help people cure their poison. It should be at that time that he began to be watched by the Heavenly Asura Clan.
So, later on, when he was training in the Netherworld Realm, it became a little strange. Aqiduo used some unknown method to enter and come into close contact with Lu Ye, secretly spying on him until she was injured. When Lu Ye was treating her, he noticed the strangeness of her bloodline and helped her get rid of the bloodline curse in her …
As such, Aqiduo was finally sure that Lu Ye was the savior that her clan had been waiting for!
The training in the Netherworld Realm allowed the Heavenly Asura Clan to determine their goal. Then, the training to eliminate the Black Turban Army was a test that the Heavenly Asura Clan had set for Lu Ye.
He passed the test, making the Heavenly Asura Clan feel that he was worthy of their trust. So, this time, they brought him here and had Aqiduo explain the whole story to him.
As for the Asura Seal reward at the end of the training in the Netherworld Realm, it was completely because the Heavenly Asura Clan had interfered with the operation of the Asura Field. It could even be said that Lu Ye's bitter wait before entering the training scene was also because of this.
It could be seen that the Heavenly Asura Clan was very cautious. After all, they were very weak right now, and Lu Ye stood at the peak of the Moon Jade Roll. If he wasn't careful enough, there was no telling when he would be annihilated!
"Then … where is your Patriarch?" Lu Ye asked.
Now that he knew the Heavenly Asura Clan's goal, Lu Ye's mind suddenly became active. Why had he come here? His original plan was to exchange for the Asura Field's attribute treasures, but those things were too expensive. Lu Ye could only earn Asura Seals to temper his own source.
However, the Heavenly Asura Clan now had a request to make of him. This was a major matter that concerned the future of their clan, so it shouldn't be too much for him to make an appropriate request.
The Heavenly Asura Clan was in charge of the Asura Field, so everything in the Asura Field belonged to them. Whether it was treasures that could improve the quality of one's source of origin or the Asura Field's attribute treasures, wouldn't he be able to take them as he wished?
This was a transaction that everyone would be happy about!
Aqiduo wasn't a suitable person to negotiate with, and she might not have the qualifications to do so. So, he could only negotiate with the current Patriarch of the Heavenly Asura Clan.
As soon as Lu Ye's voice fell, a figure suddenly appeared not far in front of him. It was an old man, and his Qi and blood were extremely scattered. To be honest, among all the cultivators Lu Ye had ever seen, there was no one as old as him.
The old man's hair was snow-white, and Lu Ye could tell at a glance that he didn't have much longer to live. The Heavenly Asura Clan was plagued by the bloodline curse. No matter how high their cultivation was, they couldn't live past 200 years.
They were indeed talented, but cultivating to the Moon Jade Roll in 200 years was already the limit.
What Lu Ye cared about was the way the other party appeared … It was as if he had been standing there all along, but Lu Ye didn't notice him at all.
It should be the power of the Asura Field! Lu Ye judged in his heart.
"This old man is Mi Shi, the Patriarch of the Heavenly Asura Clan. Greetings, little friend. Please forgive me for my previous actions." While speaking, he bowed deeply.
The other party, an old man, was so humble that Lu Ye could only stand up and return the greeting.
Aqiduo helped Loss sit down and then stood behind him obediently.
It could be seen that Mi Shi was in a good mood. His turbid eyes were incomparably spirited at this moment. He looked up and down at Lu Ye and nodded repeatedly. "Good, good, good. Our clan has waited for so many years. Finally, little friend has come. It is our clan's fortune."
Lu Ye smiled. "Patriarch, are you so sure that I am willing to help?"
Mi Shi said, "There were dozens of powerless victims in Dafeng Mountain, but little friend was not willing to abandon them. Instead, you painstakingly escorted them to Ding 'an City. It can be seen that little friend is benevolent and righteous. Little friend, if you don't have the ability, then it's fine. But if you have the ability, you shouldn't be willing to watch others suffer. As the saying goes, if you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are successful, you should help the world."
