Devour

Chapter 226 Evolutionary Bloodline

Gou Shangniang screamed: "My Gaozhen Flying Armor is a good quality Horcrux! How did he manage to subdue the spirit of the weapon and take it off?"

Before leaving, Cheng Bai relied on his spiritual eyes and the Six Virtues Technique to identify the origin of the armor. He activated the Shengjin Pagoda to suppress the low-level spirit of the armor, stripped her clean, and put her in his pocket as a handle to threaten her.

"It's so shameless that they don't even spare the dead."

Gou Shangniang cursed fiercely, kicking the words and rocks in anger, causing them to scatter everywhere: "I spent a lot of effort to shatter the outer shell of the inner elixir, and lost a full 10% of my cultivation. Even the fake self-explosion and fake death didn't fool him, and I lost the Brilliant Stone and the protective armor in vain."

This time, she ended up losing more than she gained. She was defeated from the inside out. Gou Shangniang could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger as she stumbled out of Qian'an City.

Cheng Bai had already been teleported back to Bailian Mansion. As soon as he arrived at the star ship, he gave the Holy Bloodline Book to Li Tong to swallow.

Li Tong slowly savored the jade slip and praised it highly: "The Wu Yuan Supreme Treasure Book is very comprehensive in terms of martial arts and skills, and it has a unique way of controlling spirit beasts. I spent two black golds, right? It's definitely worth it."

The evaluation of the inheritance cube was somewhat different from that of others. Cheng Bai asked curiously, "Why did the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace and Dragon Vein Sect identify it as a top-grade or heavenly-grade cube? Is it easy to hide something by underestimating it?"

Li Tong smiled and said, "People with different understandings of Taoism have different roles, so it's inevitable that there will be differences in evaluation. It's reasonable that non-beast taming sects have a lower opinion. However, the Wanshou Palace is diligent in practicing the method of taming beasts and training the way of beast gods. Underestimating is deliberately concealing the truth. Pretending to be pessimistic, or simply pretending to be confused when knowing the truth, is often done by powerful people."

No wonder Gou Shangniang kept coming to him, probably because she thought others couldn't see his true value.

Li Tong thought highly of it and said in a serious tone, "As early as the end of the ancient times, there were several Golden Immortals with superb beast-taming skills in the Sea King Clan. The Bloodline Sacred Scripture is the culmination of their achievements, and they would not be willing to pass it on to other clans. Unfortunately, the clan has declined and there are only a few strong ones left, so they were destroyed by the Sun Chaser. If you want to learn, I will teach you slowly."

Cheng Bai was quite interested and asked, "Is it easy to learn?"

Li Tong made a detailed analysis and said briefly: "You can practice at the Guangfa Realm. The threshold is not high for you, but the requirements for pets are higher. You must first select a main battle spirit beast that is at least at the Tianren Realm. There are four kinds of beasts between heaven and earth: hairy, feathered, scaly, and scaled beasts, plus humans, corresponding to the five elements. Humans and beasts practice together, communicate with spirits in the dark caves, and control beasts to become gods. There are nine levels in total. The great perfection can be practiced to the free realm."

Cheng Bai had never heard of this realm, and asked curiously, "Beast Taming has nine levels, and Jianmu also has nine transformations. Could it be that the Bloodline Sacred Scripture is more powerful than the Six Paths of Supreme Power?"

Li Tong said: "It is much easier to cultivate with a good spirit beast than the Six Paths Unique Skill. Those who have only cultivated one or two levels of Jianmu can't really compare to the Bloodline Sacred Scripture. But the three-level Jianmu is the talent of a great emperor. After the success, one can reach the tenth transformation and strive for the Xuanhuang realm. Therefore, the Six Paths Unique Skill is of a higher grade."

What is considered “good” is different for everyone.

Li Tong explained in detail: "The two major methods of seeking the Tao have their own strengths and are not in conflict. You can practice both. The Six Paths of Supremeness can be practiced to gain the vitality of heaven and earth to strengthen yourself. The Bloodline Sacred Scripture focuses on gaining the divine power of the four beasts of fur, feathers, scales, and scales for human use, and enjoying all five elements. It can greatly increase the loyalty of spirit beasts without the need for a contract."

Furry beasts, all creatures with fur belong to this category, headed by the Qilin, and their attribute is wood.

Feathered beasts, all winged creatures belong to this category, headed by the phoenix, and their attribute is fire.

Scaled beasts, all creatures with scales belong to this category, headed by the golden dragon, and their attribute is gold.

All scale beasts and creatures with shells belong to this category, headed by Xuanwu, and their attribute is water.

Man is a creature of the insect race, with neither hair nor scales nor feathers nor scales. He is made up of the neutral energy of wood, fire, metal, and water, and is in the center of the Five Elements, belonging to earth.

The five elements are relative but not absolute in the process of cultivation. The same species may have different five elements physical attributes. For example, Qinglong belongs to wood, Yong Yao who possesses the Golden Light Holy Body, and Lin Zhengyuan who possesses the Golden Gang Sword Body both belong to gold.

The Holy Bloodline Scripture is practiced with humans as the center of the Five Elements. If the earth attribute of humans changes, the attributes of the other four beasts must also change accordingly. It still practices with humans as the basis of the Five Elements, and can adapt to the combination of humans and beasts with different physiques for practice, and is flexible and changeable.

Cheng Bai pondered and said, "Currently, only the black dragon meets the conditions for cultivation. The black dragon belongs to the water element."

Li Tong said: "In a few days, the smoker will wake up. This transformation will have a great impact on him. Then we can practice with both beasts."

Cheng Bai calculated, "Suanni is of the fire element. My five elements are best in gold, wood, and fire. After practicing the Six Paths of Supreme Power, the wood element is the strongest. It is not suitable to practice the Bloodline Sacred Scripture with the earth element in the center. If the wood element is in the center, it is best to match it with the four beasts of gold, water, fire, and earth."

Li Tong pointed out: "You understand very well. Practicing in this way will indeed increase your power the fastest. But the Bloodline Sacred Scripture has another great benefit. It can make up for the deficiencies of the five elements. If you practice with your weaker water and earth elements as the center, although the progress will be slower, you can gradually improve and enhance the qualities of the water and earth elements and evolve into the perfect innate avenue, which will bring more benefits."

Cheng Bai was overjoyed and said, "Evolving bloodline, finally becoming sacred, no wonder it is called the Holy Bloodline Canon, what a great technique."

The gains from the gathering of elites far exceeded our expectations and are waiting to be digested one by one.

Cheng Bai put away the inheritance magic cube, sat cross-legged in the Black Blade Flying Armor, and practiced the Six Paths of Supremacy for a long time, refining the essence of the Heavenly Saint Sutra that he had swallowed, providing nutrients for Jianmu's growth.

The Dantian seemed to be a world of its own. Jianmu was full of vitality, and was even larger and more powerful than Gou Shangniang's human-headed dragon body. Its branches swayed gently, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and transforming it into a long river of magic power. It surged like a torrent towards the higher point of the Gate of No Thought, trying to build a third gate of magic power.

His cultivation continued to improve, and Cheng Bai's bones, muscles, and meridians were transforming into something stronger and more powerful. His whole body felt extremely comfortable, and his skills were obviously more sophisticated, but he still could not break through to the formless realm.

"It's only half a step away. It's not that easy to break free..."

At midnight, Cheng Bai opened his eyes while practicing, and his increasingly sharp consciousness was startled to notice that an expert was nearby.

He is a truly top-notch master, towering among the forces of all things. He is so powerful that even Lin Zhengyuan cannot compare to him, and he is rapidly approaching the direction of the Snow Fox Palace.

"What is this old monster with ancient god strength doing here? Is his target Sister Yingying?"

Cheng Bai didn't want to get involved, nor could he. He couldn't interfere with the powerful people at the level of sages and immortals.

What concerned him was the aura of another person beside this master, who turned out to be Feng Yong. He had left without knowing why that night, and had traveled across mountains and rivers to come to Yinsheng City.

Surprised, Cheng Bai left Bailian Mansion and rushed to the palace to follow the developments.

Two figures, one red and one black, broke into the Snow Fox King's palace. They moved swiftly and smoothly, and seemed to be quite familiar with the road. In the dead of night, they were like an empty place and stopped in front of the Snow Fox King's mausoleum.

Many masters in the palace came from the Beiling Sword School, but the gap was so big that they didn't notice it for a while.

Yao Yingying possesses a secret skill. She knows things that others don't know before she does. She calmly orders everyone in the palace not to interfere and to avoid fighting.

She was alone, dressed in a white dress, and walked over like a fairy. When she saw the two of them, she smiled and said, "Oh, there are distinguished guests from afar. I am sorry to have come to greet them."

The woman in red and white dress standing in front of the royal mausoleum was Feng Yong. The other woman in black looked to be in her forties, with a beautiful face but eyebrows so light that they were almost invisible. At first glance, she looked a bit like a spooky female ghost emerging from a mass grave.

Seeing Yao Yingying show up, the woman in black looked solemn and snorted coldly, "I came here and learned that the Bailian Mansion suddenly had a new owner. This is not like Queen Yao's style."

Yao Yingying said indifferently: "Mu Si, Bailian Mansion has always been under my control. Who I give it to is none of others' business. The Holy Lord of the Feitian Church always takes care of his own business. Why did he come so far to meddle in other people's affairs?"

The woman in black is Mu Si, the current headmaster of the Feitian Sect, one of the three major religions. The status of the Holy Leader is noble and her reputation is far-reaching, which is incomparable to that of ordinary sects.

Feng Yong helped, "Senior Yao, the White Lotus Mansion was the residence of ancient saints. People today have forgotten about it, but it is very important in the minds of the older generation. My master is ranked seventh among the seventy-two saints. She is the link between the past and the future, and she admires the predecessors the most. We should always keep it in mind. I am not meddling in other people's business, but I am doing it with good intentions to protect her reputation, so as to prevent it from falling into the hands of villains."

Her words did not lower her status at all, and her words were righteous and well-reasoned, which made Yao Yingying look at her twice more.
