"The True Blood of the Mirage Dragon is the orthodoxy in the 'Water Monarch Ascension' ceremony." Li Xizhou continued, her lips slightly pursed, "If the Spirit Realm were a nation, then it would be the throne, the jade seal, and the crown. Through it, the successor can justly command the White Water, and the entire Mirage Realm will obey. Conversely, the White Water must also rely on the True Blood of the Mirage Dragon to exert control over this Spirit Realm."
"Then, having control of the True Blood of the Mirage Dragon, how could you be forced into this situation?"
"I haven't used the True Blood of the Mirage Dragon," Li Xizhou said softly.
"... What?"
"I am qualified to inherit. If I consumed the true blood, it could only be retrieved if I were killed. Therefore, I have always kept it."
Pei Ye was stunned.
Li Xizhou didn't continue but instead looked at the young man and said softly, "Pei Ye, our 'Swing Rope,' have you not yet read 'March on High Branches'?"
