"No, Young Master, since you have gained the recognition of the Eye of Mang Sea, you are now the king of our Sea Emperor clan. How can you call this old servant grandfather?" the blue-faced elder said with fear.

As you know, almost all beasts are like this. The gap in rank and status is very obvious, especially a king of a clan, who is an absolutely supreme existence. A single command can determine the lives of countless within the clan.

"Grandfather Lan, please don't refuse. You know, my mother lifted the soul contract with you, naturally hoping you can guide and take care of me. This is my mother's instruction for you to take care of me. If I respectfully call you grandfather, what's wrong with that?" Zhu Bufan insisted.

Seeing Zhu Bufan's firm expression, Blue Elder's heart warmed, and he nodded in agreement.

"In that case, you shouldn't keep calling me Young Master or anything. Just call me Xiaofeng, or directly Zhu Bufan!" Zhu Bufan continued.

"This... alright... Xiaofeng..."

"Grandfather..."

This change in address instantly brought the two closer, but Blue Elder still showed a fearful demeanor everywhere, to which Zhu Bufan felt helpless, knowing that this isn't something that can change instantly. He simply decided not to pursue it further, believing that over time, this issue would resolve itself.

"Grandfather, how do we perform this Blood Covenant?" Upon hearing about the need for a Blood Covenant, Zhu Bufan quickly asked.

"Don't worry, Xiaofeng, everything is up to me. You just need to relax completely. However, Xiaofeng, your bloodline has only just awakened and is still pure, so it might require a lot of blood, which may cause dizziness, weakness, and other symptoms of blood loss. Be mentally prepared!" Blue Elder quickly explained.

"Mm!" Zhu Bufan calmly nodded. Losing some blood is nothing. Compared to the difficulties he would face in the future, it would not even amount to a fart.

Blue Elder smiled faintly, bringing his two fingers together into a sword gesture. Zhu Bufan only felt a slight pain in his wrist, as if bitten by a mosquito. Zhu Bufan glanced and saw a slender blood mark appear on his wrist. Blood continually formed into droplets at the wound but, since the wound was both thin and formed very quickly, it did not drip immediately.

The elder did not give Zhu Bufan much time. With a wave of his large hand, a suction force formed from nowhere, and a blood-colored streak shot from the wound on Zhu Bufan's wrist like a crimson ribbon, traversing an arc before finally falling into Blue Elder's hand, forming a constantly rolling Blood Ball.

Zhu Bufan only felt his entire body's Qi being continuously drawn out. In the blink of an eye, his face turned as pale as paper, and his lips cracked.

"Nine Leaves True Water, cleanse the world, return to origin, refine!" Blue Elder shouted, as a block of blue crystal the size of a fist floated out from his body, dazzling and resplendent like a sapphire.

However, unlike a crystal, a nearly invisible pale blue flame burned on the surface of this crystal.

The ghostly blue flame, although it appeared not at all threatening and as fragile as if a gust of wind could extinguish it, nonetheless, Zhu Bufan was horrified to find that under the burning of that blue flame, the surrounding space was distorted. Even more bizarre was that Zhu Bufan could not feel a trace of heat, as though the entire flame was burning in another space.

With Blue Elder's voice falling, suddenly the blue flame flared up as if drenched in hot oil, soaring half a meter high, completely engulfing Zhu Bufan's blood.

Meanwhile, the suction did not weaken in the slightest, and Zhu Bufan's blood continued to seep into the blue flames.

The blue flame enveloped the blood, making the fresh red blood tremble violently, and then gather into beads of various sizes, some as large as fists, others as small as green beans, playfully bouncing in the Light Screen formed by the blue flames, emitting a tinkling sound.

Simultaneously, these blood clusters shrank rapidly at a visible speed. The originally bright red turned slowly into deep red, then purple red, and finally even black red.

After two breaths, Zhu Bufan felt dizzy due to excessive blood loss, with a constant feeling of impending unconsciousness.

After a full five breaths, with Zhu Bufan's blood nearly drained, Blue Elder finally stopped and focused on driving the Blue Flame to refine Zhu Bufan's blood.

And Zhu Bufan, due to excessive blood loss, became groggy but dared not fall asleep completely. At this point, he could only collapse to the ground, slowly activating his Inner Qi, constantly nourishing his almost dried-up body.

"Humph, Zhou Xiaotian polluted the Young Master's bloodline! The awakened royal bloodline is less than one level!" Looking at the blood group in the blue flames gradually condensing into two drops of blue blood, these two drops of blue blood, quietly floating in mid-air, would tremble slightly with each breath. Each tremor would bring ripples, surges of kingly aura erupting, making Blue Elder, despite his excitement, have an impulse to kneel and worship.

Taking a look at Zhu Bufan, who was closed eyed and cultivating, Blue Elder's face turned solemn.

He reached into the void, gently pointing at one of the drops of blood. The spatial fluctuation crashed violently against the large drop of blood like a sharp sword.

"Disperse!" Blue Elder growled lowly, then slapped out vigorously.

The intensely condensed blood drop scattered in an instant, splitting into countless rays of light, dispersing through the entire Eye of Mang Sea, streaking brilliance, before vanishing completely into the void.

Change begins at this moment!

Whoosh...

On the tranquil sea surface, a gentle breeze suddenly blew, bringing the unique aroma of the ocean. Soon after, waves and white sprays formed, with the sound of waves resembling the most wonderful music drifting through the space.

Subsequently, clusters of white mist emerged from the sea surface, forming patches of clouds in the sky surrounding the Sky-reaching Pillar, with raindrops as fine as cow hair gently drifting with the breeze, sprinkling onto the only piece of land.

For a moment, though the changes were subtle, they immediately swept away the sense of death and desolation within the entire space, bringing a vibrant, renewed vitality.

…

Blue Elder spread his hands wide, raising his head in enjoyment, relishing the scene he hadn't witnessed in ages. Silently, and for a full decade, although this period was insignificant in the past, easily passed with a few sleeps, for him at this moment, it was truly a day-to-day grind.

The gentle breeze passed through Blue Elder's body without stirring his clothes, and the raindrops passed through his solid body without obstruction. It turned out that Blue Elder indeed had no physical form; this body was directly manifested, which Zhu Bufan did not detect at all.
