Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2012 Send

The man fell into silence. He had no idea what Ailsa was talking about. Maybe for even him, the circumstances surrounding Ailsa and Ryu were things that he couldn't accept. Doing so would require accepting that one of the fundamental laws of reality could be bent and twisted.

However, the outcome was to be expected. If Ryu's cultivation could hold her back, its improvement could likewise loosen the restrictions on her as well.

After being forcefully sent back in time, she had had more than 99% of her strength sealed away because a piece of her was with a man who had yet to even be born. By the time it was undone, she had to wait as Ryu's strength began to grow.

But when the timelines converged and her younger self met Ryu, her power was restricted even further as though the two could not control the same Fate. She lost access to her Spiritual Foundation and practically all of her strength aside from preparations she made in advance.

It was only after her younger self got sent back in time once more that the restrictions on her were lifted and she could finally cultivate normally again, but that still left the problem of her Primordial Yin.

Ryu's will was shockingly powerful, so much so that it was difficult to put into words. Or more accurately, his Dao Heart was.

It had to be remembered that Mae's Primordial Yin was once a danger to Ryu because the Primordial Yins of Dream Asuras were known to swallow up the minds of greedy husbands.

Due to this, Dream Asura men only dared to marry more than one woman when they had absolute strength. Without this absolute strength, they would just be sending themselves to die in gruesome fashion.

However, around the same time Ryu gained Mae's Primordial Yin, before it could take action against him, he also unsealed his original Dao Heart.

As such, the coming pressure that would have formed didn't get a chance to before it was ruthlessly suppressed.

By the same token, the sudden spike in power of Ailsa's Primordial Yin should have put Ryu in an even worse situation than that.

However, it didn't even get a chance to spike in power at all. She had been ruthlessly suppressed time and time again.

One might not understand just how this was possible. After all, a Primordial Yin should have no direct impact on cultivation. Well, other than the most important...

Faith.

Women of esteemed families, sects, and clans were highly protected because their Primordial Yins were the gateways to a well of secrets and their very Fate and Faith themselves.

When you held a woman's Primordial Yin, should you be able to withstand its strength, it meant access to a well of information about their bloodlines, their talents, and controlled one of the most powerful aspects of their Fate.

The higher in cultivation you were, the more important the ties of Karma became. There was a reason that even Primus wanted to make certain that his Karmic Ties were dealt with before he entered the Dao God Realm. He even went as far as

offending the Martial Gods for this purpose.

Of course, as Ryu's great-grandfather, maybe he should have been willing to do so anyway. But who knew what that man was thinking?

This was all to say that it wasn't necessarily Ailsa's cultivation itself that was being restricted, but rather her freedom to use it.

It could be said that the reason Ailsa faced suppression at every turn was that she was unable to use the full extent of her cultivation.

And though she was still unable to now... Ryu had undergone a great number of changes.

Not only had his body entered the Lord Realm, but he had also unlocked a Fate Soul Nature. Due to this, Ryu's Fate was no longer as strongly tied to his Cultivation Realm and instead had far more room to maneuver.

This allowed Ailsa's Primordial Yin far more freedom by extension, and ultimately... while it made her enemies feel as though she had grown several times more powerful...

The truth was that she was just finally using the power she had always had.

In fact, they were right in part. After all these years of being trapped, she had grown stronger. The ceiling of her strength had increased because at her stage of cultivation, there was only so much that absorbing Qi could do for her.

She was at a stage now where she stood at the pinnacle of cultivation itself. Her comprehension, means, techniques, and Dao were all far more important than anything else.

These people simply couldn't understand the heights that she had reached.

She slowly raised a hand, delicate white gold and dark gold lights swirling around her.

Dao God Radiant Compass stood in silence, but he could feel all the hairs on his body slowly rising to a point.

It seemed that even now, he had still underestimated Ailsa. This battle... wouldn't be so

easy to complete.

As Ailsa's aura accumulated, he made several calculations in his mind. This world couldn't be given up on; it was too important to their plans. And Ailsa being free was also a problem. She was unruly, didn't listen to anyone, and she didn't seem to have anyone that could be used against her.

Her mention of a husband was the first he had ever heard of it. He did not expect such

a prideful woman to have a husband, but by the same token, any man it was would also be very difficult to deal with.

However, why hadn't he done anything while Ailsa was locked-

Dao God Radiant Compass' eyes suddenly narrowed.

Ailsa's escape was a complete anomaly. It happened without warning, and they

couldn't even react to it.

Could it be that her husband was the one to set her free? If that was the case, this man

was far more dangerous than they knew.

"Send in the others," Dao God Radiant Compass said. "We will stop her here. First priority is to kill the Chaotic Silk Meridian youth."
