Chapter 68 The Transformation of All Things, The Pact to Become a Dragon
The smoke of battle gradually dissipated from the ruins of the altar, leaving only a desolate scene.
The Blood Swordsman strode among the rubble, his boots crunching on the charred bone fragments.
He stopped in front of Blood River Master.
This once invincible half-step Nascent Soul powerhouse is now like an old dog with its spine removed, limp and powerless in the dust.
The attack from that Earthly Fiend Paper Doll not only shattered his physical defenses, but also, through the backlash of the Netherworld Ghost Bone, shattered the foundation of his soul.
"Disciple...save...save me..."
Blood River Immortal stretched out his withered, emaciated hand, his eyes filled with a longing for life.
"Rest assured, Master."
The Blood Swordsman crouched down, his masked face revealing no expression, but his voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, "Disciple will now send you on your way, so that you will not suffer in this world."
Before he finished speaking, his slender hand had already pressed down on the crown of Blood River True Man's head.
The cycle of withering and flourishing, the enduring power of life, a reversal of fortune.
The emerald green spiritual energy that originally represented vitality and healing transformed into a deep, dark, deathly gray light at this moment.
The cycle of prosperity and decline, the inevitable rise and fall, is the way of Heaven, and also the most ruthless form of plunder in this cultivation method.
"Well--"
Blood River Master let out a hoarse, gurgling sound, and the light in his eyes dimmed at a visible speed.
The remaining essence and blood in his body, the profound spiritual power cultivated over hundreds of years, and even the nascent nascent soul that had not yet taken shape, all transformed into the purest primordial energy, which surged wildly into the Blood Swordsman's body through the crown of his head.
Meanwhile, Yun Canghai, who was still clinging to life not far away, was not spared either.
The Blood Swordsman used the same method, turning these two powerful cultivators into fuel for his own advancement.
"boom!"
As the two massive energies converged, the Blood Swordsman's aura began to rise steadily.
Early stage of Foundation Establishment... Middle stage of Foundation Establishment... Late stage of Foundation Establishment...
Those seemingly indestructible barriers to realm were quickly destroyed under the impact of these two vast, ocean-like primal forces.
The Blood Swordsman suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of blood-red light disappearing from them.
Foundation Establishment Perfection!
Just one step away is the Golden Core Path.
……
Meanwhile, in a cave hundreds of miles away, Gu Yan, who had been pretending to faint in front of Shen Youwei, suddenly trembled.
A warm current arose out of nowhere; it was the insights and vitality that the clone had given back.
At that very moment, the panel in front of Gu Yan flickered.
【Everlasting Glory Skill: Master (0/5000)】
[Gained Trait: Creation of All Things. Can refine the bloodlines of high-level beings, repair one's own foundation, and reshape one's spiritual roots.]
The moment Gu Yan saw those words, an indescribable joy welled up in his heart, making his eyes sting a little.
Spiritual root reshaping.
These four words were too heavy for him.
Since transmigrating to this world, the mixed spiritual root of the five elements has been like a mountain, pressing down on his head.
He worked harder than anyone else, but even so, the spiritual energy he absorbed in a night of cultivation was less than what those geniuses gained in a single nap.
He looked at Shen Youwei, the woman hailed as the greatest genius of the Liuyun Sect in a century.
Within three years of joining the sect, she effortlessly established her foundation, as if eating and drinking water, attracting widespread attention and promising a bright future.
And what about yourself?
Even with the cheat of the proficiency panel, his combat power was incredibly strong, and he had obtained a great many spirit stones, but his physical cultivation progress was still slow.
Gu Yan had had enough of watching others soar through the heavens on their swords while he could only struggle in the mud.
"All things are born, what a wonderful creation of all things!" Gu Yan praised in his heart.
It was a yearning for talent, a silent cry against the injustice of fate.
This means that as long as he kills enough and devours enough strong individuals, the so-called insurmountable barrier of talent will eventually be flattened by him!
With a celestial spiritual root like Shen Youwei's, it may not be an unattainable dream in the future.
……
On the altar.
The Blood Swordsman calmed his agitated state and coldly surveyed the surroundings.
Those two old foxes were indeed cunning. The explosion that resulted in mutual destruction had pulverized their storage bags, leaving them with nothing but their cultivation level.
"That's enough, one shouldn't be too greedy."
Blood Swordsman dusted off the dust on his sleeves.
The people from the Flowing Cloud Sect are arriving soon; he cannot linger.
"Ancestor, oh Ancestor, you died so tragically. Your disciple will return to the sect immediately, rebuild the Blood River Sect, and avenge you."
A smile played on his lips as he transformed into a crimson rainbow and sped toward the Blood River Sect.
……
After an incense stick has burned.
Auspicious clouds rolled across the sky, and several powerful auras descended upon Black Wind Valley.
The leader, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, with white hair and a youthful face, stood on flowing clouds, his face was slender and his eyes were like stars. His aura was unfathomable. He was none other than Qingyunzi, the sect leader of Liuyun Sect and a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
"Master!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Shen Youwei's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she quickly flew to meet him on her sword.
She pointed to the ruins below and briefly recounted what had happened, emphasizing Gu Yan's loyalty and righteousness.
Qingyunzi took the Flowing Cloud Cauldron presented by Shen Youwei, examined it carefully for a moment, and his originally solemn expression relaxed.
"Good, good indeed. The sect's most precious treasure has been recovered. Youwei, you have done a great service."
"This disciple dares not take credit."
Shen Youwei turned to the side, revealing the pale-faced young man on the stretcher behind her, who looked as if he could die at any moment. "If it weren't for Junior Brother Gu Changsheng risking his life to infiltrate and deliver the message at the crucial moment, I would have had no chance of retrieving the treasure cauldron. He was seriously injured for it, and almost... almost..."
When she got emotional, Shen Youwei's voice choked up a little.
Qingyunzi's gaze fell on Gu Yan.
A quick scan revealed that his spiritual roots were mixed with the five elements, indicating extremely mediocre talent.
Even though the young man was unconscious, he still clutched the tattered outer disciple token tightly in his hand. His loyalty and righteousness moved even an old monster like Qingyunzi who had lived for hundreds of years.
"Although his aptitude is poor, his character is excellent, and he is also a person with great opportunities and great fortune."
Qingyunzi nodded slightly. In the world of cultivation, sometimes luck is more important than talent.
To survive a deadly battle between two masters is a skill in itself.
"Since you have made such a contribution, the sect should reward you handsomely."
Qingyunzi pondered for a moment, his majestic voice echoing through the valley:
"By my decree, outer disciple Gu Changsheng is commendable for his loyalty and bravery, and for his meritorious service in protecting the treasure. Effective immediately, he is promoted to inner disciple and granted a cave dwelling on Qingzhu Peak, along with a thousand spirit stones."
He paused here, as if considering how to deal with this meritorious official with extremely poor qualifications, and finally waved his hand:
"Furthermore, considering the damage to his foundation, we have granted him permission to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool for three days of cultivation after he recovers. If he can use this opportunity to cleanse his marrow and strengthen his bones, the sect will certainly do everything in its power to help him establish his foundation!"
Upon hearing this, the accompanying elders all showed expressions of surprise.
Dragon Transformation Pool!
That is the foundation of the Flowing Cloud Sect since its founding. It gathers the spiritual milk of the earth's veins and only opens once every hundred years. Usually, only true disciples are qualified to use it when they are breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
Now it's being opened for a disciple with mixed spiritual roots?
On the stretcher, Gu Yan, who was originally "unconscious," had his eyelashes flutter when he heard the words "Dragon Transformation Pool."
It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're about to fall asleep!
He had just awakened the ability to create all things and was worried about not having enough energy to start the first cleansing. Wasn't the earth vein spiritual milk in the Dragon Transformation Pool the perfect fuel made in heaven?
He opened his eyes with difficulty, struggled to get up, and bowed deeply in the direction of Qingyunzi, his voice weak but full of vigor:
"Disciple... Gu Changsheng... thanks Sect Master for his great kindness! Even if I am shattered to pieces, I will certainly not fail the sect's high expectations!"
Looking at his sensible and loyal disciple, Qingyunzi stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.
Shen Youwei also breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes showed more relief when she looked at Gu Yan.
Junior Brother has finally made it through. Although his aptitude is a bit lacking, with the Dragon Transformation Pool, he has a glimmer of hope for Foundation Establishment.
