The "Grand Sacred Bloody DNA Spell" was one of the Four Thousand Divine Holy Spells which Xero had mastered with expert proficiency. One of its abilities was called, "cell blood tracing" which could accurately trace entire bloodlines. To put it in context, DNA alteration and identification…
During the Qi Distribution Era, what relied on legends and masters in cultivation was all on bloodline. The Great Sacred Bloody DNA Spell or The Divine Blood Cell Alteration Spell, was popular and widely used then, and cultivators would usually go to ancient tombs of previous cultivators and use the spell to absorb energy and nutrients to boost their realm advancement.
But now, however, the state had already ordered a ban order for legacy inheritance, since the risk it caused was reasonable and there was a possibility for blood disease. Back then, Yunzhou Nation had previously gathered generation cultivators who inherited legacies in a reckless manner to denounce them publicly as "legacy destroyers."
Previous generations of leaders felt that no matter how strong or weak someone's "gift" is, one should rely on own sheer will and power to advance through cultivation realms.
And so, after that, the use of the Great Sacred Bloody DNA Spell ebbed. It was permanently and strictly banned by the state, thereby becoming a "ancient classified prohibited spell." The number of people who could use this spell was very very little, apart from Xero who learned this spell whilst in the womb, he could be counted on that.
Now, Xero would occasionally use this spell to identify innate gifts of people around him. Since bloodlines could also reflect talent.
When he was a child, he had always thought that there had to be someone like him… someone that was God's Will and was anointed… and was the True King of Cultivation…
Unfortunately… he had not yet found anyone remotely like him.
He had been aware about the results of the "cell blood tracing" ever since Mr Birdie took entrance.
Mr Birdie, was actually not a common budgie. Though it had hidden it for a while, Xero had eventually found out.
To be fair, it was an hybrid budgie like parrot.
Through the cell blood tracing, Xero could accurately see its species in its blood: the zhuque, the taotie, the jiuying, the azure dragon, the white tiger, the xuanwu, oh and… there was a fenghuan too.
Who the hell knew what Mr Birdie's parents had went through during their time? Of course, Xero didn't want to know… but he could assume that Mr Birdie was merged with a bunch of bloodlines.
Han Jue wouldn't have revealed its true capabilities in public, because then he would be suspected for playing tricks.
But, now that Zhen Jie had questioned his reputation, he felt that he should definitely show them what's up.
He winked at Mr Birdie… actually they had come to unified agreement: under watchful eyes in public, Mr Birdie would give its owners face necessary; after they came home, Han Jue would have to give up this false sense of master and pay the price as being a piss bucket handler.
These complex feelings between dudes, gave Xero a sense of déjà vu.
"Students, sorry for the wait!" Ancient Relic skipped happily to them. He had only said a few words before his phone suddenly ringed with a call. Looking at the caller ID, he immediately waved, "Sorry, gotta wait a little longer!~ I need to take this…" He said, as he went into a corner.
Ancient Relic being like this… what the hell is going on!
Amazing work, now that Ancient Relic fucked off, we can find out what the hell is wrong with him!
Seeing the opportunity, Han Jue suddenly exclaimed, "Amateurs… there's nothing master doesn't know!" As he said that, he pulled one of Mr Birdie's purple feathers.
"What's that for?" Lianhua asked confusedly.
"This. Is the Grand Fortune Naming Skill. If I, the master, hold one of these feathers and recite the target's name three times… the feather will change its color depending on the fortunes tell." Han Jue said, with a mysterious air.
Mr Birdie rolled its eyes: First you spat on me, and now you're plucking my feathers?! Oh, when we get home, you're gonna receive it!
This Grand Fortune Naming Skill… Han Jue made it sound so marvelous when in fact it was just fortune telling…
The crucial fact was that it wasn't his ability, it was Mr Birdie's specifically.
In Xero's opinion, this ability wasn't worth much even if it was mixed bloodlines.
Rubbing the feather in his hand, Han Jue said Ancient Relic's name three times, and lo and behold… everyone saw the feather suddenly turn pink!
"Pink feather?" Even Han Jue was confused.
"What's that mean?" Misaki asked giving the feather a cursory look.
Han Jue was already well notified with the feather's color meanings, but to see this color in relation of Ancient Relic… he was confused.
Thinking of Ancient Relic's behavior earlier, the bouncing, happy expression… plus this pink feather, the answer was painfully obvious. "This pink feather is in luck with love… Ancient Relic has fallen in love!"
"Oh! That explains it…" It was mere realization at first.
But…
— Wait hold the f**k up!
Fallen… In?! Love?!
This fatass that eats dougan whilst teaching in class… was actually arranging roses in his damn vase?!
"…"
Xinyan, Misaki, Lianhua, and Zhen Jie felt that this was just implausible.
"… Is your feather reliable or not?" Zhen Jie asked, still skeptical.
"F**k! You still don't believe me?!"
"Well it's not my fault! This feather changing color fortune shit is just too unrealistic, is this even scientific?"
Xero: "…" So you think changing colors is scientific?!
Zhen Jie was a very skeptical person when it came to things like these, or old superstitions.
In order to verify its authenticity, Zhen Jie rudely pulled out a purple feather from Mr Birdie.
It made Mr Birdie wince a little, as it eyed Han Jue angrily.
It didn't care who took out its feathers; this is all on Han Jue!
Han Jue: "And, what are you doing?"
"Come on, get a grip! Just find another person's fortune to read." Zhen Jie placed the feather in Han Jue's hand.
Han Jue chuckled lightly as he looked at Lianhua and recited her name three times. Then… the feather turned blood red!
It was related to her fortune, so naturally she was concerned. "And that means?"
Han Jue carefully analyzed the color and said, "This color… it represents protection from fire. So don't go anywhere near them."
Lianhua: "…" In her eyes, this was too accurate!
Last week, the popular bl fan fiction volumes she was collecting was eventually burned down by her father!
Zhen Jie took out another purple feather from Mr Birdie. "Come on, read mine."
"…" This feather from Mr Birdie… its skin was being plucked out! It was so painful that it made its feathers twitch!
Xero even saw a tear drip down its eyes.
Han Jue read Zhen Jie's fortune, and the purple feather turned orange. "You had to stay away from ramen this month."
Zhen Jie's eyes widened, "It really is accurate!" He had remembered that when he was eating noodles at a restaurant, he had choked and almost died. If it hadn't been for his father, he wouldn't be here right now.
"Now, do you believe me?" Han Jue said, helpless.
At that moment, Ancient Relic returned after endless chatter on the phone. Looking even more radiant than before!
"Students… I have good news to share!"
Standing in front of them, he didn't hide his ecstasy at all. "I have found a wife!"
Students: "…"
Xero: "…" Then what the hell was the point of plucking the damn feathers!?
Mr Birdie: "…" Oh, I'm so gonna f**k you!
