Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1638 - 1634: Blood Transformation
Previously on Imperial Cultivation...
"There’s actually such a bead, it seems I misspoke," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile as he took it: "Miss Chu, your good fortune hasn’t run out."
"Much worse than before," Chu Miaomiao said.
Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "These beads, ordinary people just can’t get them."
Chu Miaomiao said: "What use do they have?"
Chu Zhiyuan replied: "Do you have Holy Veins in your Heaven and Earth?"
He didn’t want to fully conceal, nor could he keep it completely hidden.
Her luck was worth befriending.
Like another Xu Yingying.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t seen Xu Yingying again, not knowing which layer of Heaven and Earth she’d reached.
If he could control the Taixu Tower, he should be able to find Xu Yingying.
But looking at it now, the hope isn’t high.
Chu Miaomiao tilted her head and thought: "Holy Vein? What Holy Vein?"
"The bloodline of Divine Beasts."
"Divine Beast... never heard of it, nor of any Divine Beast bloodline."
"Then you indeed have no need for this," Chu Zhiyuan said: "Inside is the True Blood of a Divine Beast, which is extremely important for enhancing the Holy Vein."
Chu Miaomiao curiously asked: "Holy Vein are those Strange Beasts with Divine Beast bloodlines?"
Chu Zhiyuan explained: "Holy Vein are humans with Divine Beast bloodlines, inheriting the power of the bloodline, far stronger than ordinary humans, often able to establish a Court."
Chu Miaomiao asked: "Is everyone who establishes a Court a person of Holy Vein?"
"Not necessarily, some Heavens indeed do not have Holy Vein inheritance."
At least the Jade Dynasty doesn’t have Holy Vein inheritance.
But Da Meng and the Phoenix Dynasty clearly have Holy Vein inheritance.
Therefore, those establishing Courts are not necessarily all Holy Vein, though Holy Veins often establish Courts.
Chu Miaomiao remarked: "Learned something new, are you of Holy Vein?"
Chu Zhiyuan answered: "My situation is somewhat complicated."
He himself should not have the Divine Beast bloodline, but after practicing the Heavenly Dragon Introduction, he closely resembles someone with the bloodline.
"Can this be useful?"
"It can be!"
"That’s good," Chu Miaomiao said with a smile: "So I won’t have to find some other good thing for you."
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand: "Dealing with these two guys is what I can’t let go of, such rotten seeds, not destroying them would be a scourge on the world, my spirit would be restless. Miss Chu, then let’s part ways for now."
Chu Miaomiao asked: "If I want to find you, where should I look?"
Chu Zhiyuan took a Jade Pendant from his bosom and handed it over: "With this object, you will be able to find me."
Chu Miaomiao took the Jade Pendant, scrutinized it, and felt it.
This Jade Pendant seemed ordinary, one side carved with a sword, the other with a strange symbol.
She didn’t recognize this symbol, yet found it rather mystical.
The Jade Pendant contained a unique aura, matching Chu Zhiyuan’s aura.
As a Spirit Venerable, she could indeed sense Chu Zhiyuan’s location through this aura.
This was tantamount to quite a bit of trust in her.
She thought for a moment, took out a Jade Pendant from her bosom and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan: "This is mine, with this Jade Pendant you can also find me."
Chu Zhiyuan accepted it, and it turned out to be a delicate Jade Pendant.
Compared to his own, it was half the size, exquisitely crafted, carved with intricate patterns, identical on both sides.
Chu Zhiyuan exerted Divine Essence, the Jade Pendant instantly glowed and flowed, its aura surged.
Chu Zhiyuan, through this aura, could also sense Chu Miaomiao’s location.
Chu Zhiyuan put away the Jade Pendant: "Miss Chu, come find me for a wander when you are free, for now, farewell."
Chu Miaomiao clasped her fist.
Chu Zhiyuan vanished in a flash.
The next moment he appeared on Dragon Mountain, continuing his work of transporting and absorbing.
Already at the Eighth Transition, only one last transition remained; if he could move all these Dragon Mountains into the Inner Universe, would he step into the Ninth Transition?
Reaching the Ninth Transition meant complete relaxation, fearlessness; he wouldn’t worry about unexpected disasters and fall, allowing peace of mind to pursue immortality, living alongside Heaven and Earth.
Fortunately, with the Realm’s enhancement by one transition, the range of absorption expanded, reaching thirty meters.
The expansive Dragon Mountain couldn’t withstand his range of absorption.
The basin behind him rapidly expanded and grew longer.
He estimated that at this speed, this Dragon Mountain would enter the Inner Universe in two days.
...
By evening, he appeared at his yard in the Profound Yin Palace.
Xiao Ruoling, Shen Hanyue, and Zhou Qingyu were sitting by the table enjoying snacks.
Zhou Qingyu’s aura surged around her, as if a calm tide.
Seemingly calm, yet surging inside, with amazing strength.
As Chu Zhiyuan appeared, the three women looked up, their eyes glimmering like water.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "You’ve made good progress."
The undercurrent was surging, but at least it had become an undercurrent, not as intense as before.
Now her aura could be restrained more than half, making very fast progress.
Zhou Qingyu said: "Master’s wife and Aunt Shen constantly guide me."
Shen Hanyue chuckled: "I’ve been fiercely taking care of Little Qingyu, didn’t expect her to be so resilient, hard to suppress her anymore."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "She does need some fierce guidance, don’t be lenient."
Shen Hanyue said: "I’m not lenient, but the Senior Sister can’t endure."
Xiao Ruoling said: "No need to be too harsh, it’s fine to slow down a little."
Zhou Qingyu had already obtained inheritance, and the Inheritance Hall of the Heaven-Reaching Sect was already open.
So Zhou Qingyu didn’t need to rush anymore.
She had already condensed decades of arduous effort, so why the hurry?
Taking it slow, laying a more solid foundation, only then could she easily break through to Spirit Venerable.
Moreover, the real cultivation began after Spirit Venerable, where the foundation was very important.
She now felt faintly that her foundation wasn’t stable enough, it was too fast.
So her cultivation as Spirit Venerable would greatly slow down, impossible to be as fast as before.
That was the price.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "What your master’s wife said is correct, now you needn’t be in a hurry, slower is better."
Shen Hanyue said: "But Little Qingyu has been suffering, it’s really hard to bear."
Zhou Qingyu helplessly agreed.
What her master and master’s wife said was naturally right, now’s not the time to rush, needs to be slowly absorbed.
But what Aunt Shen said wasn’t wrong either, it was indeed hard to endure.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Placing the Jade Pendant on your forehead can alleviate the pain."
"Yes, Master," Zhou Qingyu promptly agreed.
She tried to take out the Jade Pendant from her bosom and paste it between her brows.
Immediately a refreshing aura surged into her brow, spreading through her body.
Her spirit was instantly lifted.
At the same time, the throbbing pain vanished, the comfort brought a smile to her face.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
Earlier he hadn’t mentioned it, letting her experience and discover it for herself.
But as she hadn’t found it, he had to drop a hint.
Chu Zhiyuan chatted with them for a while, then sat on his bed, taking out the True Blood Pearl.
This piece of True Blood Pearl was True Dragon Blood.
To him, True Dragon Blood was extremely precious and had many uses.
First was the Heavenly Dragon Introduction, allowing him to nearly possess the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline.
Taking in the True Dragon Blood might allow Heavenly Dragon Introduction to advance further, reaching Perfection.
Thus enhancing the power of the Cloud Dragon Fist.
Even turning his fake Heavenly Dragon Bloodline into real Heavenly Dragon Bloodline, thereby triggering the inherited memory within the True Dragon Bloodline.
Furthermore, it would lead to deeper comprehension of Heavenly Rules, aiding in elevation of Realm, reaching Nine Transitions faster, and attaining true Great Freedom.
So True Dragon Blood was crucial, he couldn’t afford to be careless.
Enduring half a day’s time, now he finally began exploring True Dragon Blood.
Holding the dark green round bead in his palm, after a moment, he placed it into the Inner Universe.
In the Inner Universe, he now could command invisible forces, similar to Heaven and Earth’s Power.
The dark green round bead settled into Inner Universe, floating mid-air and slowly changing.
From spherical it turned elliptical, bulging into a small bubble, and the bubble detached from the round bead.
This small bubble was a tenth the size of the round bead, resembling a Dragon’s Eye and a green bean.
After detaching, the small round bead reappeared in Chu Zhiyuan’s palm.
Above the void, a Sky Dragon spiraled down gradually, eventually hovering above his head’s canopy.
He tossed the small round bead into the air.
The small round bead instantly transformed into a green light, merging into the Sky Dragon.
The Sky Dragon released a long cry.
The entire Profound Yin Palace vibrated.
