Chapter 237 Powerful Fleshly Body
Everyone's expression changed when they saw the surging blood qi and the energy of heaven and earth.
They felt the surging energy turn into a crimson dragon before diving into the pool where Long Ming was cultivating.
Ling Yuan's Sky Battling Royal Body shivered as if it was facing a powerful suppression. ' Is it his Imperial Body? No, even if it's the Imperial body, it won't cause such sensation.'
Han Cheng also felt his Dark Heaven Demonic Ape bloodline was burning, making his eyes filled with battle intent.
' As Master said, The Eastern Province is where all the fortunes of the current era are gathered. I can find so many opponents here.'
' As long as I stay here, I can polish my cultivation and attain great heights in the shortest possible time.'
Looking at each other, they are both again immersed in cultivation.
Long Ming didn't know about the ruckus he made outside. However, he was fully immersed in his cultivation as he opened the Star Platinum Grade Chest.
[ Ding! Host opened a Star Platinum Chest! Host obtained an Imperial grade Formation! River Sealing Eight Flags!]
[River Sealing Eight Flags: It's a formation consisting of eight ancient thorns. As its name implies, it can used as an Attacking Formation and Sealing Formation! As long as sufficient energy is provided, it can fight off against enemies across greater realms!]
Suddenly, eight ancient bronze thorns appeared before Long Ming as they buzzed around him. Long Ming looked at the swords as he nodded with approval.
" Not bad. Be it a single enemy or a bunch of enemies, it can be employed in both situations."
" Also, Each of the thorns is a Noble grade treasure on its own. So, I can even use it as individual weapons."
Long Ming saw the hovering thorns which looked like bronze daggers. Without any delay, he used his Eternal True Spirit Art as his spiritual energy gushed out.
Like plugging a wire in the socket, Long Ming slowly connected his spiritual qi with the eight hovering thorns and started to refine them with his divine sense.
For ordinary cultivators, the treasures are just tool. However, for the true masters, the treasures are extensions of their own bodies.
By refining the treasures with his own spiritual qi, Long Ming made them acquainted with his own divine sense and branded them with his unique spiritual imprint.
After this, he could swiftly control the formation just using his divine sense. With a single thought, the thorns would fly to his enemies.
Not to mention, branding them with their own spiritual imprint will also lessen the chance of others disrupting the formation with their own spiritual energy.
After all, there are many thieves in the immortal world and they can easily steal treasures and erase the imprint of the original user.
Long Ming opened his eyes as he looked at his surroundings. He was still in the Blood Qilin Ancient Pool. But after that, he swam upwards.
Looking outside, he saw Ling Yuan getting ready as they stood outside of the pool.
" Huh? Five days already passed?" Long Ming looked at him as he was surprised.
" My god! Brother Long, What did you do?" Ling Yuan was surprised. " Just how much blood qi and energy did you absorb?"
" Indeed, It felt like alone decreased a third energy of the Blood Qilin Sacred Pool."
" Is that so?"
Long Ming chuckled. " Well, Since the Imperial Family is kind enough to provide us with such an opportunity, I should take full advantage, right?"
" Hahaha! Indeed, Indeed!" Ling Yuan laughed loudly when he heard that. " Well, Since that's the case, I am leaving, Brother Long."
" Enjoy your extra two days here." Ling Yuan laughed as he turned around and left.
Long Ming looked at the pool and felt the energy indeed decreased a lot.
' Does reaching the Minor Completion stage of my Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique devoured that much energy?' Long Ming couldn't help but smile wryly.
The amount of energy he devoured was enough for a cultivator to reach the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm from scratch. However, his minor physique devoured that much instantly.
" Haah, I wonder how much I need to cross the tribulation? And then, there is still the Perfection stage." Long Ming sighed as he jumped back into the pool.
' Currently, I can no longer use my physiques, although my physical body is already way too powerful. But I should refine it further.'
" Eh? What's this?"
After reaching the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, Long Ming felt the presence of a strange power inside his divine sea.
It was none other than the power of the qilin bloodline that he received from Jiang Wanxue's body.
After getting the baptism of Blood Qilin Sacred Pool, Long Ming felt the size of the golden qilin grew considerably.
' Well, Let's see the power of my minor completion physique.'
Long Ming grinned as he utilized the devouring force of the Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique.
The qilin energy roared in his body as it slowly got devoured by his devouring force. Long Ming could feel the qilin energy was slowly getting assimilated into his bloodline.
' This…This is so cool!' Long Ming's eyes started to shine when he saw the effect. ' Does that mean I can devour bloodlines and use them as mine?'
After all, bloodlines are something which passed down from generation to generation. Taking someone else's bloodline and using it as your own is a huge risk.
If the body and the bloodline aren't compatible, the cultivator might face qi deviation. And after that, the future path of cultivation would be completely blocked.
But with Long Ming's devouring power, he can simply eliminate all those restrictions and use the power of the bloodline as his own.
Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes opened as he looked at the Blood Qilin Statu hovering above. Manipulating his own qilin bloodline, Long Ming drew out its aura and tried to interact with the qilin statue.
*ROAR ROAARRR*
Long Ming felt he could hear the roarings of the ancient qilin as the statue emitted a strange blood hue.
" Ugh! This…This is pretty similar to the Purple Crystal of Liu Family!" Long Ming's eyes became wide with excitement as he could feel his blood boiling.
The water of the Blood Qilin Sacred Pool bubbled as Long Ming could see small threads of blood slowly oozing out from them.
As the thread of blood slowly congealed with each other, instead of getting thicker, they started to thin out.
In the end, they became as thin as the finest silk strings, with crystal blood color with a sheen of gold.
Long Ming felt the qilin bloodline inside his body jumping with eagerness as he devoured those fine blood strands.
" This…This is the purest bloodline of ancient qilin. No wonder! If I can devour all of it, the benefits will be endless!"
Long Ming closed his eyes as he slowly devoured the blood strands. With each strand he devoured, he felt the burning sensation strengthening his body.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Long Ming could feel his body was truly transformed by the purest blood of ancient qilin.
" Young Master Long, Seven Days have passed! Please come our of the pool!"
Long Min opened his eyes as the voice rang through the cave.
Getting out, he saw the Qilin statue becoming dimmer than before.
" Hehe, the blood of the ancient qilin was distributed into the entirety of the Blood Qilin Sacred Pool. But using my qilin blood as a catalyst and devouring power as the force, I extracted the true blood easily."
" Now, the effect of the spring would lessen. But, That's none of my concern."
Long Ming got out as he put on his robe and combed his long hair.
" Mm, My hair also grew too much, eh? Not bad, I look much more refined." Long Ming chuckled as he looked his reflection.
After getting ready, he walked out and saw General Zhao was waiting for him.
" You had a lot of trouble because of me, General Zhao." Long Ming cupped his fist as he bowed lightly.
" Not at all. You really caused quite some ruckus inside." General Zhao smiled wryly. " The energy inside the pool almost thinned out."
" Hmm, Your physical body is pretty robust. I can feel the vitality and strength of your flesh and blood."
Long Ming smiled lightly as he knew the reason.
Currently, he felt like he could fight with a Low stage Harmonization Realm cultivator with his physical body alone.
" You are overpraising me, General." Long Ming smiled lightly as he followed him.
' Strange, his aura…Is it because he came out of the pool? But it feels like…pure blooded Imperial Qin Family member.'
' Nevermind, That's rather impossible. At most, he would get some traits of ancient qilin. Gaining the pure bloodline is impossible.'
General Zhao gave a meaningful glance to Long Ming as both of them walked out.
" Now, I shall take you to the Imperial Treasury. There, you can pick any treasure or techniques from the first two floors."
" Is that so?" Long Ming smiled.
" Well, Then I have to rely on General Zhao to guide me."
