Chapter 1579 Mancer
Ryu should have had a fierce reaction to these words. But honestly... he didn't.The first reveal of this chapter happened through N0v3l-Biin.
What was more interesting to him was the fact that Fading Star dared to speak this person's name aloud despite their power, and there wasn't even the slightest reaction.
Now that he thought about it, he wasn't exactly skimpy with how often he said that name. And considering how wary Fading Star was about this person, it was doubtful that she could casually shroud herself from their attention.
So this meant something else.
Now that he thought about it even further, the legend of the Phoenix Sky God was so muddled that it took him years of research just to find a plausible method of awakening their Spiritual Foundation. There were so many stories and iterations of the Phoenix Sky God and their life that it was impossible to take any one of them as the truest truth.
Sometimes they were a man, sometimes a woman. Sometimes they were born in a great family, and at other times, they were pauper who rose up like a tide.
Ryu wondered how much of this was manipulation on the part of the Phoenix Sky God, versus how much of it was true... if the Phoenix Sky God was so obsessed with controlling reincarnation, who was to say that they didn't actually live all of those lives?
The moment Ryu had this thought, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
Such a person, capable of tossing everything away and reincarnating again, and again, and again, only to still inevitably rise to the pinnacle... Just how formidable were they?
Talent alone couldn't be enough, and neither was just keeping your memories from a former life. Yaana was the perfect example, it was only a great series of events, including the use of her Life Partner, that allowed her comprehension in this life to quickly catch up with that of her last life. By now, she had likely even already ascended beyond it.
However, without that series of coincidences, comprehending something you had already comprehended in the past based on memories was many times more difficult than it would have been otherwise.
Of course, if Yaana could stumble into a series of coincidences that allowed it, it wasn't impossible that someone else could do the same. The issue was, triggering that series of coincidences again and again would be exceedingly difficult.
It had to be remembered that Yaana relied on a Life Partner to achieve what she had. Such a thing was a Blessing bestowed by the Heavens and relied on someone who was your perfect mirror image being born on the same day and at the same time as you.
Plus, only Faeries had Life Partners, even the Fey did not, as it was an evolutionary quirk of their descendants. Though, the Fey had a different albeit similar inborn ability.
This was all to say that unless the Phoenix Sky God continuously reincarnated as a Faerie, it was all useless... not to mention the fact that according to the story, he or she, most definitely hadn't. If they were true, that is.
Fading Star sighed. She had pretty much expected Ryu's response, though she was completely wrong about what was actually causing it.
"Regardless, the reason I'm telling you this is because under adverse circumstances, people shine the most. We created many methods of transferring talent, Bloodlines and the likes in hopes of succeeding. This culminated in the creation of a new profession...
"The Bloodmancer."
Ryu finally raised an eyebrow. Honestly, this explanation would have probably been enough for Ryu to take her as a master, but she seemed to have wanted to take no risks with "impressing" him.
This was more a matter of pride for Fading Star; she was clearly an arrogant woman despite her soft tone. She didn't want to risk introducing Bloodmancers to Ryu, only for it to fall flat and for her to have to try again. That would have been too humiliating.
That aside, Ryu nodded to himself.
Back then, Aika had offered Ryu the Radiant Star Bloodline so casually. It might seem that just accepting another Bloodline was easy, especially with all those vials of blood Ryu's family kept, but it was actually notoriously difficult.
The only reason Ryu could so casually make use of those vials was that he already had those Bloodlines within him. Planting them into someone else was a nightmare.
That was also why Flowing Frost had given Ryu her entire body; this was the only way she knew to ensure her Bloodline went on.
In a way, transplanting Meridians was actually far easier than doing so for a Bloodline.
This wasn't to say that people didn't have methods; there were, and they existed. It was just a matter of how crude were they and how much of the original Bloodline you could keep?
Just take Ryu, for example. He was the prime example of why you couldn't just stuff a body with powerful Bloodlines and hope for the best. It had taken him a lot of climbing to get out of the pit his many Bloodlines had put him in.
But the Dual Radiance Sect had a lot of success with transplanting their Bloodlines. He never thought much of it because he knew so little about the True Martial World. He subconsciously just thought that every powerful Clan or Sect could do so.
However... what if the Dual Radiance Sect was a clear exception?
"I can see that your Bloodlines are powerful, and the fact that so many managed to be born in a single body is a miracle. What you've managed to do with them is even more amazing.
"But I can say with great assurance that I can mold you into an existence far beyond what you are now and teach you the ways of Bloodmancy. As for the rest of my inheritance, you can take it if you want, or ignore it if you don't. I don't want to try and smother you, at least not until we've rebuilt some of our trust.
"I can help you see your Bloodlines in a completely new light."
