BXBX NOVEL Chapter 68 Dao Companion?
The spirit points from over twenty thousand undead were still only half absorbed by Cyrus, so taking advantage of this situation. He decided to cast a Secret Golden spell!
Hilda was also caught off guard since she never expected this stranger to be so resourceful and could even reveal the origin of their bloodline, which was unheard of.
'Can he really get rid of a dimension bloodline?' She thought as she looked deep into Cyrus's two-color eyes in bewilderment while her hand was still held by him. For some reason, she didn't try to retract her hand.
At this moment, Cyrus's hand suddenly glowed darkly, and the glow started to spread into Hilda's hand before moving toward her arm as if it wanted to devour her, which greatly alarmed her.
'Secret Golden Spell, Blood Cleansing!'
Seeing Hilda try to retract her hand, Cyrus let go as the spell was already cast, and the dark glow was now quickly enveloping her body, making her panic.
Cyrus spoke gently at this moment, "Don't worry. It will only hurt a little since you are not born a hybrid. You were born human, which means you have infused this Silver Bird of Prey bloodline with your human bloodline."
After holding Hilda's hand, he easily discovered her body condition and found out that she wasn't a born hybrid but was a pure human and was still in the process of becoming a hybrid.
He was quite familiar with the infusion process as it could turn a normal human being into a hybrid as long as they ingested a certain amount of bloodline. Some infusion techniques can even transform a human completely.
However, the technique used on Hilda was quite crude, so the foreign bloodline was still not completely fused with her human bloodline, or she would have some physical traits of a silver bird of prey, like its feather, wings, and even a beak. Her silver hair and eyes most likely came from a foreign bloodline.
Nevertheless, Cyrus could still get rid of her foreign bloodline even if she was born hybrid as long as she was a mortal. Still, this makes the process much simpler and almost painless for Hilda.
Why Cyrus was so adamant about getting rid of the foreign bloodline because he knew better than anyone that a hybrid is destined to be mediocre.
No matter how many bloodlines you robe from others and ingest them within your own, you will only get a temporary boost before you meet with a bottleneck. Most importantly, no one with a hybrid bloodline can become a God, and this fact was only known to Gods.
That's why Cyrus shows such disdain toward ingesting and infusing foreign bloodlines into human bloodlines. Although the human bloodline appeared weak, as long as they could break the mortal shackle, they were on par with those who were born with a superior bloodline.
In fact, no bloodline was mediocre; only the people were. Every bloodline has different shacks at different stages. It's just that some have few, and some have many.
But they have their pros and cons. Everyone was made equal. The only difference was their starting point.
Hilda was able to calm down after hearing Cyrus's words and didn't resist the spell even if she wanted to. She didn't even know what kind of spell it was, nor had the power to resist.
At the very least, she was now sure that Cyrus was a powerful being, and his means were even more terrifying than the dimensions. So, following him won't be a bad choice as long as he is sincere in teaching her.
Not to mention if he was really human, then it would mean humans were not as helpless as they seemed.
Suddenly when the black glow encased her, she suddenly shuddered as her expression turned pale because she felt something was being torn apart from her very being.
The black light on her also started to intensify before it started to shrink toward her abdomen.
However, Hilda gritted her teeth and endured that pain as if it was nothing in front of what she had gone through to become stronger.
From childhood, she was taught by her father that power was everything and trained like a machine. At the age of ten, she was thrown into the silver wing dimension to survive and won't be allowed to leave until she earned herself the silver wing bloodline, and she achieved it in two years.
But in the pursuit of power, she had lost her childhood and emotions as she could only feel joy by killing and warmth from three people in this world.
Yet now, as someone was being torn apart from her, she was feeling pain, but she was also feeling a relief of sorts.
As the pain in her body started to subdue, the black light was now compressed into a black ball in front of her abdomen.
Right at this moment, her silver hair started to lose its luster until it turned snow-white while her silver eyes turned gray.
The black ball suddenly trembled before it was separated from her and floated in the direction of Cyrus, who was grinning at her.
Hilda was really feeling quite free. It was like a huge burden on her shoulder had been lifted, and all it was because of the young man in front of her.
However, her expression changed as she sensed something and exclaimed, "M-my magic power!?"
Cyrus chuckled as he held the black ball in his hand, "Don't worry, this is the effect of my spell, which will clean your blood and return it to its original state. This means anything that you acquired based on your foreign bloodline will also be cleaned.
"This includes the magic power you acquired by practicing this bloodline-related technique as well. I'm quite surprised that you guys didn't even have the method for cultivating human sorcerers and relied solely on foreign bloodlines to cultivate magic. What a waste of resources."
Cyrus scoffed before he clinched the black ball in his hand, and black smoke suddenly puffed from it.
When he opened it again, a tiny silver marble appeared in his hand.
Hilda was gobsmacked when she saw the silver marble. She even forgets about the dissipating magic power from her regressing magic core and exclaims, "Bloodline pill! Did you extract the bloodline pill? How is that possible?"
It's been a long time since she had shown so many emotions in such a short while, and she felt she was dreaming.
Cyrus snorted as he threw the pill toward her, which gave Hilda a fright as she quickly caught it carefully and looked at him in confusion.
Cyrus coolly said, "Just keep it in your space ring for now. If we find the reaming materials, it is a good material to create Golden Grade, Blood Strengthening Pills."
Hilda was dumbfounded by Cyrus's words, "I-It has other use?"
Cyrus nodded, "You'll learn as long as you follow me. Now that this is out of the way let's get our relationship straight."
Hilda's heart raced for some reason as she took a deep breath to calm down before she put the silver pill away. She never expected this guy could retrieve the Bloodline Pill, which was even more precious than the oath relic in humans' eyes, and even casually give it back like it was candy.
Hilda nodded as she said, "I will follow you from now on, teacher!"
She now has no doubts about following Cyrus, as she knew he wasn't joking when he called her a frog in the well. So, having him as her teacher will be her greatest opportunity.
However, Cyrus's next words left her speechless; as he shook his head, he said, "I'm not talking about the student-teacher relationship. That relationship is too pure and has many rules. That's why I'm making it clear now since. You will be my Dao Companion."
Hilda asked with uncertainty, "What's a Dao Companion?"
She was from a magic civilization, so she clearly had no idea about what a Dao companion meant.
Cyrus knew his mistake and proclaimed, "It means we will mutually collaborate and spend our lives together. It's like marriage. But the Dao companionship of cultivators has an even more profound meaning than the marriage of ordinary mortals. We will walk the path of cultivation together and cultivate together."
Although Hilda's face was still hidden behind her mask, her neck suddenly started to dyed red in heat. It was simply too sudden, and it was also the first time that someone had proposed to her.
If it was before, she might have already charged him with killing. However, now, she couldn't help but look at Cyrus from up to down as she had to admit he was the most handsome man she had ever seen, and it won't be bad to spend her life with such a powerful man.
"Y-you… you w-want to s-spent your life w-with me?" She stuttered in a tiny voice as she was no longer as cold as before, and even shyness was mixed within her words.
Cyrus chortled, "Naturally if you follow me, you won't be able to leave. However, let me make one thing extremely clear. You won't be the only one!"
