Insufficient balance

  "Ah! You... the sword in your hand is..." The purple glow disappeared, the transmission was interrupted, and Feng Xiao looked up in confusion, meeting Qilin's surprised gaze.

  "Could it be that he recognized Xuan Yuan Sword?"

  Feng Xiao thought for a moment and then let it go, at least the Qilin that had lived for billions of years must have known the ancient heaven and earth, how could he not recognize the Xuan Yuan sword that shook the three realms? Feng Xiao answered bluntly: "Xuan Yuan Sword!"

  Having obtained Feng Xiao's affirmative answer, Qilin calmed down and said calmly: "Human, you must be here to take my essence blood, right?"

  "Yes! The Xuan-Yuan Sword has been sealed, and it requires the blood of a Qilin to unseal it!" Although surprised by the other's understanding of the Xuan-Yuan Sword, hope ignited in his heart. Since it knew the situation of the Xuan-Yuan Sword and his intentions, perhaps it would take the initiative to help. After all, the Qilin is a benevolent creature.

  "Hahaha……" Qilin suddenly burst into a mysterious and wonderful laughter, the sound of which shook the air and echoed endlessly in his ears. But he clearly felt that Qilin's laughter was filled with an irrepressible sorrow.

  "If... if you had come a day earlier, I might have helped you voluntarily without compensation. But now, the seal of Xuan Yuan Sword has nothing to do with me. Whether you are the master of Xuan Yuan or not is also none of my business. Why should I bother solving a problem that has nothing to do with me?"

  Zi Lei Qilin's cold voice was like a basin of cold water poured over Feng Xian's head, and he said in an angry tone: "Since you are the Qilin, you should naturally know that not long from now, the Tian Long continent will inevitably face a calamity. At that time, the land you protect will be scorched and its people will suffer greatly. Don't you hope that after Xuan Yuan Sword breaks the seal, it can use its strongest power to stop this disaster?"

  Feng Xiao finished speaking with a straight face, but his heart couldn't help feeling a little empty. These words were all from the Tianlong Emperor's mouth, and if they were false, he would lose face completely.

  "Heh heh... Humans, even if you manage to break the second seal of the Xuan Yuan Sword, how confident are you that you can remove the remaining five seals? Legend has it that each seal is harder to break than the last! Why waste my thousand years of cultivation on a goal that's almost impossible to achieve when I could conserve this power to deal with the coming disaster?"

  "A thousand years of cultivation wasted?" Feng Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

  "Feng Gege, the blood of Qilin refers to the essence of Qilin's blood. It takes a thousand years for Qilin's essence to form one drop, and every time it loses a drop, its cultivation will also dissipate along with it." Xuan Yuan Wenyue's voice came from the sea of consciousness, her tone somewhat melancholic as she gently explained to Feng Xiao.

  "It's actually... going to be like this, no wonder it would be so stingy that it wouldn't even spare a single drop of blood."

  "Then why did you say yesterday that you would help me?" Feng Xiao asked relentlessly.

  "Because... yesterday I had a child, today... it's gone, and can never be born again... the legacy of the Qilin will have to wait for tens of millions of years..."

  A wave of extreme sorrow spread throughout the entire space, and the massive body of the Purple Lightning Qilin actually began to tremble violently...

  In the sorrowful atmosphere, Qilin slowly began to recount everything. The Linzi that had been nurtured for billions of years was lost just like that. The pain was something that even a powerful being like Qilin could not bear. It needed to unburden itself, and the human in front of it became its only confidant.

  The birth of a Qilin requires billions of years, which also represents that the inheritance of the Qilin requires more than billions of years. And every time a new Qilin is born, it foretells the extinction of the previous one - this is also why the Purple Lightning Qilin would originally help Feng Xian, because its Qilin child was supposed to be born today, and after the child grows up for a month and has the complete power of the Qilin, it will disappear into the world, and naturally won't spare a few drops of its essence that is about to disperse.

  The half hour after a Kirin hatches will be the most vulnerable moment in its life, with abilities only one tenth of normal.

  About an hour ago, it was the moment when Linzi was about to hatch. The hatching process had been going smoothly all along, but just three minutes before the successful hatching, a mutation suddenly occurred... Due to the decline of Zilei Qilin's ability, the energy of the protective boundary she set also weakened and was broken through...

  Double-headed Spectral Wolf! This powerful super divine beast with high intelligence and a greedy heart, after tens of thousands of years of calculation and waiting, finally got the only chance to swallow the Qilin egg and evolve into a holy beast! At the most vulnerable moment of the Purple Thunder Qilin, it broke through its protective boundary and pounced on the Qilin egg that was about to hatch.

  Zi Lei Qilin was caught off guard, watching with wide eyes as a cluster of dark energy enveloped the Qilin egg. The life that had been stirring within was completely extinguished by the invading death energy.

  Zi Lei Qilin's sorrow comes from within, and it launches a frenzied attack on the Double-Headed Phantom Wolf of the Underworld, which was just about to devour the Qilin Egg. A holy beast with one-tenth of its power is fighting against an ultra-divine beast...

  The battle lasted for over a dozen minutes before it finally came to an end. Feng Xiao couldn't imagine the shock and cruelty within, he only knew that the winner was... Zi Lei Qilin, but its Linzi would never hatch again. And the deafening roar that almost killed Feng Xiao earlier was the dying despair howl of the Double-headed Phantom Wolf's Ghostly Howl.

  "A tenth of his power can kill a super sacred beast..." Feng Xiao's cold sweat flowed freely, and he had a new understanding of the sacred beast's strength.

  As the Violet Thunder Qilin spoke, Feng Xian slowly noticed a white Qilin egg about 5 meters away from him, with a layer of black death energy wrapped around it. Twenty meters away, a massive two-headed wolf lay, which was the Double-Headed Phantom Wolf that the Violet Thunder Qilin hated so much that he wanted to crush its bones and scatter its ashes.

  Feng Xuan let out a soft sigh, gazing at the silent Zi Lei Qilin with some pity, then looked at the Xuan Yuan sword in his hand with the same pity... He knew that his goal was basically impossible to achieve, and the next Qilin's birth would be billions of years later. At this extraordinary moment, the only Qilin on the continent was destined not to disperse its power.

  "Sorry, Wan'er..."

  "Feng Gege... it's okay, Feng Gege. Perhaps this is my fate..." Xuan Yuan Wanyu also knew that hope was lost and said with a sobbing tone.

  Wan Er's sobbing made Feng Xiao's heart ache, and his two hands clenched tightly together...

  "I... am a person who has never known what it means to give up, in reality and in reincarnation, I must be!"

  "Xuanyuan Wenna's tens of thousands of years of searching, the guidance of her deceased foster father, Xuanyuan Sword's recognition of its master... all tell me that I have a mysterious mission. How can I lose at the starting point?! If I couldn't even pass the first hurdle, how could I face the subsequent trials? How could I be worthy of Wenna and Xuanyuan Sword? How could I be worthy of my foster father?"

  With a fierce gaze, his eyes gleaming with intensity, he stared into the eyes of the Purple Thunder Qilin and said: "What do I have to do to get you to give me your essence blood?"

  "Sorry, human, it's absolutely impossible, unless my Qilin has been born now..." Qi Lin said gloomily but firmly.

  "Then..." The wind swept across his eyebrows and he frowned: "Is there any way to save your Linzi?"

  Zi Lei Qilin was about to shake his head, but seeing Feng Xiao's determined face, he let out a sigh and said: "There is indeed a way to save it, but this method has no difference between having or not having!"

  Feng Xiao's spirit was greatly lifted after hearing this, and he hastily asked: "What method is it? No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely do my best to achieve it!"

  "Human, I commend your determination and bravery, but some things are impossible to do even with determination and bravery. The only way to save Lin'er has been completely lost in the entire universe for tens of billions of years..."

  "What!?! How can this be...... What is going on?!" Feng Xiao finally understood why Zi Lei said that having a method and not having one made no difference.

  "There is something that contains the reason of heaven and earth, can hold all things in heaven and earth, can merge countless states, can eliminate death and disease, can inject vitality and hope, can reverse order and truth..."

  "What? It said... Could it be..." Suddenly, Xuan Yuan Wen Er's exclamation sounded in Feng Xiao's mind.

  "This thing is a kind of blood, since the creation of the universe, only one person has ever had this blood, his name is Pangu, and that blood is called - Chaos Blood!"

  "What?!" Feng Xiao and Xuan Yuan Wen Er exclaimed in surprise. This was also... too coincidental!

  "Brother Feng... it seems like heaven is always looking out for you!"

  “……”

  The body of chaos is actually such a powerful existence, but why was I determined by "Reincarnation" as the body of chaos?

  Somehow surprised by Feng Xiao's strange reaction, Zi Lei Qilin continued: "Only the blood of chaos can dispel the yin and yang energy on the Kirin egg, and then inject new vitality... Human, do you understand? Alright, you've been here long enough, now I'll send you back. And don't try to find me again, I have my own mission, I won't give up my power for someone else's hope!"

  "Ah! Wait a minute, wait a minute!"

  Feng Xiao almost couldn't help but burst out laughing, the wonderful feeling of suddenly jumping from hell to heaven made him almost float up. Feng Xiao calmed down his mind and stared at Zilei Qilin's eyes, saying seriously: "If I can save your Qilin child, you will give me your essence blood?"

  Zi Lei Qilin couldn't help but smile wryly, intending to advise him not to persist in vain anymore. However, upon seeing his eyes filled with confidence and sincerity, her heart skipped a beat, and a glimmer of hope was unexpectedly ignited...

  Will this human recognized by Xuan Yuan bring me a miracle?

  Zi Lei Qilin took a deep breath and said slowly: "If you can really save my Linzi, I will agree to any of your requests!"

  Qilin's reputation needs no questioning. Feng Xiao nodded and walked towards the Qilin egg surrounded by a gray aura.

  The majestic movement ignited the fire of hope in Qilin's heart, it held its breath and gazed intently at every move he made.

  "Feng Gege, blood! It will definitely succeed!" Xuan Yuan Wenyue's voice was filled with irrepressible excitement.

  "Hmm!" The only hope, success or failure depends on this move! Standing in front of the lifeless Kirin egg, Feng Xiang slowly stretched out his right hand, silently chanting: "Blood!"

  A drop of red blood oozed out from Feng Xiao's fingertips and fell onto the Qilin egg...
