Blue blood and crystalline bones, these two characteristics definitively proved that the legendary blue-blooded people truly existed.
Regarding the blue-blooded people, Ji Mo had some understanding from his time back home.
In Western mythology, there were celestial beings radiating blue light who descended from the heavens, establishing the ancient Mayan civilization and pioneering Earth's modern civilization.
However, Ji Mo harbored doubts about such legends.
Earth's civilization was created by the West?
Where was their shame?
Furthermore, Chinese unofficial histories recorded that during the Xia Dynasty, thirteen blue-blooded demons attacked and were killed at the peak of Kunlun.
According to the timeline, it was after these thirteen blue-blooded individuals were brutally eliminated by the mighty Yanhuang ancestors that the powerful Maya disintegrated and ultimately vanished into the river of history.
Back then, when Ji Mo saw these records, he thought they were merely myths and legends. Now, it seemed highly probable that those accounts were real.
The so-called celestial beings of blue light descending from the heavens might have originated from here, but these extraterrestrial visitors were too arrogant, daring to cause trouble in Chinese territory, and ended up getting beaten.
The gods in the eyes of Westerners were merely demons in the eyes of our ancestors.
A sense of pride surged within Ji Mo. My Yanhuang ancestors were truly awesome!
Speaking of this, Ji Mo began to feel a pang of homesickness.
Since the "Scamming System" refused to take him back, he would eventually cultivate and traverse the galaxies himself, returning home by his own strength.
If the blue-blooded people could travel from here to Earth, then he naturally could find his way back.
Of course, all of this was contingent on him staying alive. He never knew when he might suffer the same fate as the "Void Great Immortal" and be killed by someone.
"Kid, if you don't want to die, hand over the divine bone obediently."
Someone nearby, seeing Ji Mo playing with the crystal divine bone without any strange occurrences, was overcome by greed and threatened him, demanding it.
Ji Mo, with his harmless demeanor and lack of any intimidating aura, truly made him look like someone anyone would want to bully.
This was likely the so-called "the good are bullied by the bad."
"You want it? Take it."
Ji Mo looked at the person glaring at him fiercely, a smile curling his lips. He generously tossed the crystal bone in his hand.
In his eyes, it wasn't a divine bone at all, just a dead person's bone, bringing bad luck to hold onto.
At the same time, he was also using this opportunity to figure out the reason for the old man's explosive death.
"Heh heh, you're a sensible kid."
The man snatched the crystal divine bone and was overjoyed.
However, his joy was premature.
The next second, his body stiffened, and then he split apart.
This scene terrified the surrounding people, who retreated far away with expressions of horror.
What was going on? Why was it fine for this pretty boy to handle it, but others exploded upon touching it?
Ji Mo observed carefully. The man touched the bone and was fine; it was only when he touched the blue blood on the bone that the accident occurred.
Since he had touched the bone earlier, some of the blue blood on it had been purified, thus weakening its power. That's why this person only cracked and didn't explode into pieces.
Understanding the source of the anomaly, Ji Mo gasped.
Fortunately, his body was strong enough. Otherwise, he might have died the first time he touched the blue blood.
He became even more curious about his own constitution, to be so powerful.
If he could evolve completely, would he become a god in one go?
It seemed he needed to find ways to absorb more energy to replenish his body and increase his evolutionary progress.
"Why does everyone else have an accident when they touch the divine bone, but he's completely fine?"
Sai Gao, witnessing all this from the shadows, was utterly baffled.
He sized up Ji Mo from head to toe, believing it must be due to his incredibly potent "kidneys."
According to his research, the kidneys were the root of the congenital and the source of a being's vitality.
Those with vigorous vitality were physically strong and could even be impervious to all evil.
This young man's physical condition must be too robust, hence his fearlessness of the bizarre.
"I must obtain his kidneys."
Sai Gao's gaze towards Ji Mo grew more fervent, his possessiveness intensifying.
Ji Mo continued to walk deeper into the cave, eager to know if there were any other living blue-blooded people.
Sai Gao continued to follow, waiting for a good opportunity to strike.
The small piece of crystal divine bone fell to the ground, emitting a blue halo, but no one dared to touch it easily anymore.
However, there were still capable individuals present. Some seemed to have their suspicions. Although they didn't know the source of the anomaly was the blood, they believed that as long as they didn't touch the divine bone with their skin, it should be fine.
So, donning a special pair of gloves, someone picked up the divine bone and ran off.
"So it's fine if you don't touch it."
The others understood, their eyes lighting up, and they began searching the passage for divine bones.
Bai Jingjing, the Golden Lion, and Mian Abe, the three, had been charging ahead. Their goal was clear: to seize the greatest fortune. Thus, they abandoned some treasures they encountered along the way and only rushed forward.
They finally found something good and stopped before a stone wall.
Miasma emanated from the stone wall, shining brightly, with some characters and patterns appearing and disappearing intermittently.
"It looks like the body-refining technique of the Blue-blooded tribe!"
A hint of surprise appeared on Bai Jingjing's cool face, her heart trembling.
This body-refining technique was renowned in the Immortal Spirit Realm. When mastered, it could unleash three times one's own strength, possessing astonishing power.
If one could cultivate this technique, killing enemies across realms and even challenging superiors would be incredibly simple.
"We can comprehend this treasure technique together."
Mian Abe proposed, hoping to avoid conflict and coexist peacefully to obtain the fortune.
Bai Jingjing had no objections. She had always been one to not offend unless offended, and she tacitly agreed to the suggestion.
The Golden Lion hesitated. Its nature was to hoard and monopolize, never to share with others. However, it wasn't confident in fighting two opponents at once, making it conflicted.
Suddenly, its expression changed slightly. It cast a meaningful glance at Mian Abe and agreed to comprehend it together.
This was because Mian Abe had secretly transmitted a message to it, inviting it to join forces against Bai Jingjing. He was willing to share sixty-forty of all the fortunes in the ancient cave with the Golden Lion.
"Heh, what a 'Noble Young Master,' turns out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. How despicable and shameless to plot against a young lady."
The Golden Lion inwardly sneered. Indeed, one could know a person's face but not their heart; humans were so insidious.
He had just spoken of peaceful coexistence, but then he secretly planned to stab someone in the back. How shameless.
Although it understood that Mian Abe had ulterior motives, it felt no apprehension.
As long as Bai Jingjing, the troublesome one, was eliminated first, dealing with Mian Abe would not be a problem.
The Golden Lion believed that a scoundrel like Mian Abe was only thinking two steps ahead, while it had already calculated five steps ahead, and would ultimately emerge victorious.
Both individuals harbored wicked intentions, secretly communicating and colluding. They quickly devised a plan and began to act.
"Miss Bai, if we discuss it together, comprehending it will be twice as effective with half the effort."
Mian Abe approached Bai Jingjing under the guise of discussing, proposing cooperation.
Due to his reputation as a "Noble Young Master," his public image was always excellent. Bai Jingjing did not guard against him excessively. Moreover, discussing and verifying with each other could indeed help in comprehending this treasure technique better and avoid detours.
The two then stood together, beginning to capture the characters and patterns on the wall, focusing on comprehension.
The Golden Lion seized the opportune moment and suddenly launched a surprise attack on Bai Jingjing.
Mian Abe's gentle expression vanished, revealing a cruel look as he coordinated the action.
