Even though Jason could gauge why Nathan was trying to fill his mind with information, he couldn't help but be astonished by what he had heard.

'I'm the fourth generation that inherited mana eyes? Both sides of my family were blessed with mana eyes since my great grandfather and great grandmother!'

Jason was aware that traits were likely to be inherited, but this was not for every trait. Mana eyes were rare to inherit, yet his grandmother, grandfather, and mother not only had mana eyes but their eyes had been mutated and enhanced at that.

Not only Jason but his entire family had been an anomaly which shocked Jason greatly, his interest was piqued upon hearing about Emperor eyes.

In the end, this could even be the explanation why the Celestia race was jealous of his mother's eyes!

He was not sure about it, but the Celestia race seemed to be a race that had superior characteristics in every aspect.

Despite that, their eyes were probably similar to superior mana eyes or something even higher than that, yet, at a lower league than the Emperor Eyes Nathan was talking about.

Thinking about it, Jason figured out that the passive blockade his mana eyes had against any external factor that could influence him negatively, and the auras and colored hues he could see were the most unique traits of his mana eyes.

Other than that, he had the abyssal effect, and all of them might have a connection with his mother's Emperor Eyes.

'But my mother had silver eyes? Apparently, only my grandfather had golden eyes...the Celestia race has silver eyes too'

It was confusing and that was exactly what Nathan had tried to achieve.

Unfortunately, Jason had noticed how flustered he had been in the beginning. Recalling his nervous behavior wouldn't be a problem for Jason!

Knowing that his mana eyes were not only that powerful because of his Celestia bloodline was somewhat reassuring, but his mind was already drifting towards a different subject.

"I have Emperor Eyes? But, in that casewhy did my family leave the Heaven's Eyes sect? Wouldn't it have been better for them to stay in a big sect that could nurture them"

Jason already had a rough idea of what had happened to his mother, and what circumstances would have brought her in front of his father. However, there was something else he had to figure out!

Were his grandparents still alive? If that was the case, where were they?

However, Nathan's answer was less than satisfying, and Jason had decided to leave shortly afterward.

[I don't know where your family has gone. One day, they simply decided to leave the sect. They didn't even bid farewell, and just vanished. Since then, I have never heard of them!]

Jason couldn't help but ridicule this answer inwardly as he left the room with Anna in his arms.

He knew a part of the truth through his father, which was the fact that his mother had been in the hands of a different foreign race!

'Suddenly vanishing' was definitely not a correct answer, and from the mana fluctuations Jason had perceived, he could tell that it had been a lie.

Nathan was not even able to hide his mana fluctuations properly, and Jason could only shake his head at this.

There was no problem with his emotions and they were perfectly under control.

Nothing escaped out of his grasp which caused Jason to think that his father's divine silver aura might have been more efficient than he had estimated.

The information about his mana eyes was not necessarily important for Jason. At least, not at this point.

It might be useful later, but the more important fact right now was that he had received more information about his entire family, and a possible reason for Nathan to act against them.

'If my family was full of mana eyes that had slowly nurtured their eyes' ability, it is not unlikely that Nathan and others were afraid of being overthrown. The Heaven's Eyes sect might have been taken over by my grandparents, or even my mother, once she had been fully nurtured. Who knows?...'

Thinking about his mother was still painful, but he had long since accepted that she was dead.

It was tragic and he didn't want to think too much about her, but he wanted to hold on to her even if the thought brought pain. A part of him he feared that if he stopped thinking about her, she would slowly wither away in his memories.

Jason had already forgotten her face and her voice, he didn't want to forget the rest of her too. The pain of her loss was what had kept him alive, telling him to strive for more and to live without regrets.

At that moment, he walked past a young man with blood-red hair and crimson-colored eyes. Currents of a bloody aura leaked from his body, and his lips were curled upwards in a smirk.

He had a few hundred liquefied drops of mana inside his mana core, and blood affinity transmuted mana was swirling through his body.

Additionally, the young man had a huge amount of blood mist inside his body, strengthening him further.

However, what caused Jason to flinch when the young man had brushed past him was that it looked like he had seen the young man before!

Not during the Great Argos war, but much earlier than that.

'Before the Minotaur accident in Jiro-City...on Astrix!'

Owing to his memory, and the fact that the young man looked unique, Jason had been able to recall him.

'Didn't he have only 50 drops of liquefied mana at that time?... He is progressing so fast!'

Jason was astonished about the young man's cultivation speed that was much faster than anyone else he had seen.

At the same time, he understood that this was probably because of the blood sect's unique way to cultivate.

They could drain mana and blood from their opponents after all.

Jason assumed that the Blood sect had colluded with the Virady race that was similar to the Vampires in fairy tales!

Nevertheless, something about the young man was urging Jason to interrogate, torture, and beat him up.

His entire being was heating up when he noticed something about the blood mist inside the young man's body.

He was barely able to control his Celestia aura and the stigma that began to glow lightly.

Jason's eyes widened and before anyone could notice anything he said,

"Anna, did you just dirty your diapers?? It's already smelling...ugh! Let's change them quickly!!"

After that, he rushed off as fast as possible without being too suspicious.

Leaving the entire building complex, he quickly summoned Artemis' wings before he mumbled,

"Sorry Anna!"

His expression worsened, as his eyes turned ice cold.

"I found him!"

The blood mist was a unique characteristic only the blood sect seemed to have. However, what they didn't seem to be aware of was the fact that remnants of their victims' mana fluctuations lingered within it!

Because of that Jason could not only see how much blood essence of humans and beasts the young man had absorbed but also determine whether someone he knew had been killed by the young man or not!

In the beginning, he hadn't focused on the young man's blood mist, but his gut feeling had drawn his attention to it.

Within only a few seconds, one particular remnant of mana fluctuations from someone, he had loved, but lost more than 10 years ago was inside the youth's body!

'He killed my mother!!'
