Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 455 Seal

Ryu felt his pupils pulsing. Compared to the past, he had shattered through many more seals. In fact, both Elena and Ailsa's Primordial Yins were still coursing through his body. He had been planning on continuing to dual cultivate with Ailsa so that he could resolve all of the energy. But now that this had happened, he no longer had the chance to.

Ryu's comprehension of the human body wasn't shallow. After all, he was responsible for a lot of his parent's improvements during his life time. His research was especially focused on the Spiritual Foundation for obvious reasons.

Though he never managed to fix his False Spiritual Foundation, he did manage to find several methods to improve normal Spiritual Foundations despite the fact that such a thing should have been impossible.

However, when it came to a Faerie's body, Ryu was at a complete loss. Initially, he even thought of swallowing his pride and taking the risk to call Sarriel here. Maybe if they worked together, they would be able to solve this.

But, Ryu decided against this for two main reasons.

Firstly, it was far too dangerous. Having Sarriel here with Ailsa in such a vulnerable position, especially when Ryu couldn't guarantee his ability to defeat her on his own… It was too great of a risk and it couldn't be taken unless there really were no other paths to follow.

The body of a Faerie was incredibly valuable, and this was only more so to a Necromancer. This was something that Ryu definitely couldn't allow.

The second reason Ryu chose against this was because he wasn't as blind to a Faerie's body as he thought. With his now deep intimacy with Ailsa, there was nothing she knew that he couldn't learn almost instantly. Even if he couldn't apply it as well as she could, with his foundation of expertise, he wouldn't be as blind as someone else would be.

Realizing this, Ryu immediately took action.

First, he placed his hand on Ailsa's lower belly, a strong blue diamond flame erupting around him.

The surrounding temperature plummeted to the point that crystal formations began to grow along the walls. But, Ryu didn't let up.

When it came to defense and sealing, there was no stronger existence among the Phoenixes in this regard outside of the Ice Phoenix. The Ice Element alone was already exceptionally good at these things, but when combined with the Life character of the Ice Flame, it gained a unique synergy that allowed sealing on a level rarely seen in the Martial World.

Ryu didn't really want to seal Ailsa, but he had no choice. Of course, this wouldn't be a true seal, Ryu didn't have the expertise nor the strength to succeed. However, combining his comprehension of formations with Ailsa's own, he was able to create a makeshift stopgap to give him some room to breathe.

Even though this was the first time Ryu had ever attempted to draw a formation, it was completed so simply and casually that it might as well have been another form of breathing. In just a moment, Ailsa's convulsing frame regained some strength, her haggard breathing growing steady.

Ryu didn't relax, though. His gaze became piercing. redirecting the Primordial Yin still circulating throughout his body toward his Pupils.

Popping noises and the sound of shattering glass resounded. In just a few breaths, Ryu had gone from just over 30 undone seals, to crossing over 50.

If the world had been clear before, it practically played out frame by slow frame for Ryu now. Everything seemed to become so simple and plain.

The feeling was intoxicating, as though the whole world was in the palm of his hands. But, Ryu didn't bask in it.

As much as he wanted to break more seals, trying to break down his 67th seal took just as much energy as he had spent on unsealing his 10th to 66th. It simply wasn't worth the trade off anymore.

Ryu knew that he could undo all of his Immortal Seals and reach the barrier to his Cosmic Seals if he used all of the Primordial Yin right now. But, if he did so, how would he have any left to finish dealing with Ailsa's seals?

Ryu hadn't wasted this Qi at all. Now that his vision was so clear, he could finally see was Sarriel had scene.

[Ephemeral Tapestry] painted his world all sorts of colors, including his beautiful Life Partner. Seeing Ailsa now, Ryu felt that he could peer into her soul.

Deep within, Ryu saw all the vibrant golds associated with being a Cultus Faerie. But, hidden on a layer even deeper than that, there was a dense blackness.

Separating the two halves of Ailsa was a vibrant seal. But, what shook Ryu to his core was the fact this seal used Ailsa's own meridians as its foundation.

Ryu's jaw clenched. It was no wonder Ailsa's Qi Realm Cultivation was so slow. It wasn't because she was untalented, but rather because 95% of her meridians were dormant, having its energies coopted for the sake of powering this Seal.

The fact that Ailsa managed to make it to her current realm at all was nothing short of a miracle.

With Ailsa's meridians in such a state, Ryu couldn't even see if she had a special set of them or not, it was all obscured by the energies of the seal.

At the same time, it became obvious why neither Ryu nor Ailsa had ever detected this seal before. It was so ingrained into Ailsa that the two were practically inseparable. A normal person would have never been able to see the seal because it would have felt no different from gazing upon Ailsa herself.

As such, it was no wonder Ailsa was in such a state.

Finding ample Primordial Yang, Elena's Primordial Yin had clashed with Ailsa's meridians not much unlike it had clashed with Ryu's Primordial Yang. But, in her state of pleasure, Ailsa hadn't even realized what happened until it was too late.

This made the matter simple. If Ryu wanted to undo the seal, he would have to slowly work Elena's Primordial Yin through Ailsa's body, undoing it step by step. Only then would the process be gentle enough to not harm Ailsa.

Taking a deep breath, Ryu's gaze sharpened to another level.
