Chapter 3107 — Conditions Met

The Grand Elder asked this as though casually, but in truth she meant to sound out the reason and leave the Dark Night Palace a way out! If she could learn the method to reawaken and purify the Dark Phoenix bloodline, then the Dark Night Palace could secure its future glory.
It must be said: though the Grand Elder was sinister, ruthless, and utterly unreasonable, toward her sect she was loyal to the core, without a shred of selfish motive.
"I... swallowed a... black phoenix..." Gu Mengyao did not conceal it and spoke directly.
"What?! You... swallowed a Dark Phoenix?" The Grand Elder was startled, then immediately thought of something. "Could it be that the Dark Phoenix that appeared before was bought by you people?"
"That's right, I bought it," Wei Zhao nodded. "Could it be that swallowing a Dark Phoenix can purify the Dark Phoenix bloodline?"
"Not purify it—even a person with no Dark Phoenix bloodline at all, after swallowing a Dark Phoenix, will come to possess the Dark Phoenix bloodline!" The Grand Elder grew agitated at once. Gu Mengyao could now be considered a first-generation Dark Phoenix bloodline; in the future, Gu Mengyao's children could also obtain the Dark Phoenix bloodline inheritance and become inheritors. Even without the opportunity of the Cloud Terrace Island plan, becoming an inheritor had its benefits—one could smoothly raise one's strength to the peak of the late Heaven rank. That too would guarantee the Dark Night Palace's overall strength!
Of course, what was disappointing was that Gu Mengyao's method of acquiring the Dark Phoenix bloodline had no reference value and could not be replicated. Nearly every disciple of the Dark Night Palace knew that the Dark Night Palace's first Dark Phoenix bloodline inheritor had come about precisely by swallowing a Dark Phoenix. But Dark Phoenixes were exceedingly rare—one might not be found in several hundred years. This one had appeared and, by a stroke of fortune, been swallowed by Gu Mengyao. It seemed one could only say that Gu Mengyao was rather lucky.
"So that's how it was..." Gu Mengyao nodded. "No wonder you didn't take me away before..."
In her heart, Gu Mengyao felt somewhat fortunate. At least she had lived all these years in the secular world—and had even met Wei Zhao...
(Xiaoshu: I'm crying here—Yaoyao values her lover over her friends!)
"Yes. Let us set aside the past and speak of the present. When you reach the Dark Night Palace, there is almost no danger at all in your cultivation—you might even call it smooth sailing. After all, an inheritor who has accepted the sensing inheritance faces no rank barriers!" The Grand Elder said. "Your only concern is what you will do afterward, and where. To be honest, I am not entirely clear on that myself. It is said that a Cloud Terrace Island plan is to be carried out, giving all experts at the peak of the late Heaven rank, with strength fully perfected, hope of advancing to become Heaven Dao experts. When the Cloud Terrace Island is opened, there is said to be some danger, but what exactly it is, I do not know..."
Gu Mengyao nodded. In truth, she had heard of all this back when Feng Xiaoxiao and Tang Zhi became inheritors! (To be continued)
