Chapter 805: Xia Ji’s True Motive (8)
Her father, due to his role as a guardian of the mausoleum, stayed there for many years. One rainy night, he inadvertently overheard an old drunkard talking about the Shengxue Pearl. Later, her father discovered that this old drunkard was actually the grandfather of one of the clan’s elders, who had lived for several centuries. As for how he knew, the secret of the Shengxue Pearl was known not only to the Clan Leader but also to the other ancestors who had originally refined the Shengxue Pearl. However, due to a vow of secrecy, no one spoke out. Among the 108 ancestors, it was not surprising that one might slip up and pass this secret down to their descendants.
It’s just a pity that, over all these years, no one had ever thought of making a move on the Shengxue Pearl.
When her father told her about it, he also repeatedly urged her not to speak of it, saying that the matter was too bloody and if she managed to break through to the Divine Level, she should consider the clan and ensure that no ill-intentioned person used the Shengxue Pearl to harm others.
At that time, she truly had no intention of making a move on the Shengxue Pearl.
But she had never expected that in an instant, she would fall from the heavens straight into hell.
Her whole life had been ruined just like that.
She was unwilling, truly unwilling. She was only one step away, and if only she had held on a little longer, everything would have been completely different.
But just a little short, and everything was gone.
Even the one she cared about most was gone; what was left to expect?
She vented all her resentment onto Xia Qingcheng, no, to be precise, onto Su Yu. Because when she saw Su Yu, she thought of Xia Qingcheng, so she transferred all her hatred onto Su Yu. She did consider what was the point of doing this, what use was it, no matter what she did, nothing could ever be the same again! Whatever she did to Su Yu, the only one who would suffer was Su Yu. That wooden Xia Qingcheng might feel heartache and want to make up for his neglect of Su Yu over the years, but what was the point?
It was useless, none of this held any meaning for her.
So in the end, when she had completely recovered and decided to come to the Xia Clan, she made a decision: to steal the Shengxue Pearl, refine it, and try once more to break through to the Divine Level, to accomplish what she had failed to do back then.
She had nothing left, continuing to live a muddled life served no purpose, even revenge had lost its pleasure.
Xia Ji smiled brightly, looking at Han Qingjue, she said, "To bring the Shengxue Pearl to the state of yin-yang balance, it doesn’t necessarily require sacrificing so many women and using their blood for fusion. As long as you find the right person, the blood of one person will be enough."
unmarried women’s heart’s blood—setting aside how cruel such a method is—it is simply impossible to achieve.
So from the beginning, she never thought of taking this approach, but had a different idea in mind.
In this world, there’s always an extreme to things. For instance, some people have exceptionally unique constitutions, and she alone could counter a hundred people. The same principle applies, as long as the right person is found, the blood of one will suffice.
