Chapter 1714: Chapter 571: Too Late for Regrets
Zong Shenhua’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this, as he gazed into the distance at this scene.
The ’Great Sun Yang Blood Pill’ was indeed gifted by him, but it is a failed product.
He and the Yang God Great Priest conducted countless experiments underground at Blood Bat Mountain, ultimately mastering the method to transform the Human Clan’s bloodline into that of the Great Sun Golden Crow.
This ’Great Sun Yang Blood Pill’ is merely a by-product of their research.
It can help awaken the ’Great Sun Golden Crow’ bloodline, but is not something a living person can endure.
Moreover, in this world, no one can possess two divine beast bloodlines simultaneously—
Otherwise, their physical body and bloodline will surely be unable to withstand it.
"Great Sun Yang Blood Pill?"
Upon accepting it, Chu Ming’s eyes showed a hint of skepticism.
Without letting her emotions show, she discreetly tucked the two medicine bottles into her sleeve: "I thank Your Majesty for your graciousness and will surely not disappoint your nurturing."
She wasn’t foolish enough to immediately consume any elixir given to her without precaution.
She had to go back and examine it first; if the elixir was indeed harmless, then she could consume it.
Emperor Jianyuan waved his sleeve nonchalantly: "Follow me!"
He paced to the front of the sarcophagus, raised his hand, and opened the lid of the sarcophagus.
This sarcophagus comprises five levels, and the covers inside were not nailed shut.
Moments later, the interior of the last level of the sarcophagus was revealed before Chu Ming.
Chu Ming inexplicably recalled the scene approximately five years ago when Chu Xisheng and Qin Muge were buried.
She immediately raised her eyebrows, a look of slight astonishment appearing.
"This is—"
Inside the coffin, there were surprisingly a white and a red soul orb placed side by side.
These soul orbs were about the size of a fist, completely crystal clear.
What was truly surprising was that outside these soul orbs were the soul shadows of two divine beasts, the Three-legged Golden Crow and the Vengeance.
Each of their soul bodies was only about a zhang high, yet they were vivid and lifelike.
Every feather of the two soul shadows, every scale, every texture of skin, every claw and fang structure, was imbued with powerful Heavenly Rules and even contained traces of Eternal Divine Power.
Chu Ming took just one glance and felt an overwhelming pressure inside her divine thought.
She was startled, her eyes filled with confusion: "These seem to be Eternal Rank divine beast remnant souls?"
They are actually resentful souls, not resting even after their fall, leaving behind an indestructible strand of essence soul.
"Indeed!"
Emperor Jianyuan smiled faintly: "These are the State Preceptor’s treasures; you should truly thank the State Preceptor. Only he can find these things in the Mortal World to aid your path. Now, look inside that tomb."
Chu Ming instinctively felt uneasy.
Aiding her in her path, how was it meant to aid her?
Nonetheless, she still frowned and moved to the pit that was supposed to bury Chu Xisheng and Qin Muge.
Moments later, Chu Ming’s pupils slightly contracted.
This burial pit had clearly been modified; not only was its grandeur more imposing, but the area below was also more expansive.
The key was the things inside the pit—
She saw that below, there were also two divine beast remains placed to the left and right. One was a Three-legged Golden Crow, and the other a Vengeance.
These should be the remains of those two strands of divine beast residual souls; their bodies are incorruptible and intact because they have seen eternity.
Chu Ming quietly took a breath, unconsciously reaching for the saber at her waist.
"Your Majesty, may I ask what this means?"
"Naturally, it’s to help you ascend further!"
Emperor Jianyuan held his hands behind his back, hiding a look of anticipation: "Though your Heavenly Rules level has increased, due to the lack of All Heavens Secret Ceremony, combat power remains weak. This aspect is difficult to remedy; the stronger your cultivation, the harder it is to complete the secret ceremony.
However, the State Preceptor has a good plan; you could fuse the essences of this Vengeance and Three-legged Golden Crow to refine them as your Lifebound Item, using their secret rite position in place of your own to acquire the True Spirit Position of Vengeance and Golden Crow!
This method can also solve your bloodline issue; your Star Bloodline is slightly insufficient to unleash the full power of the ’Undying Yang Flame Saber.’
The problem is, you already have the Blood of Vengeance and cannot further accommodate the Three-legged Golden Crow. In this world, no one can possess dual bloodlines of different divine beasts and birds; however, if you refine them into a Coexistence Corpse Beast, there is no problem. As is widely known, Coexistence Spiritual Beasts can share one to two bloodlines; Coexistence Corpse Beasts can do the same. The only difference is their spiritual wisdom remains lacking, resulting in slightly inferior effects; you could actually regard them as external protection."
Chu Ming’s expression turned pale halfway through hearing this.
Shaking her head, she gradually stepped back, retreating from the edge of the burial pit.
Emperor Jianyuan seemed to notice, smiling as he looked over: "Ming’er, you don’t want to? Your Vengeful Bloodline was never rightfully gained; it has great flaws. Moreover, Ming’er, aiming to complete the Secret Rite of Vengeance is nearly impossible.
To advance further in this path, it is best to borrow the power of this Vengeance. Also, your ’Undying Yang Flame Saber,’ its power could increase tenfold or more with the assistance of this Three-legged Golden Crow, which is a pureblood descendant of the Yang God Tai Hao.
Ming’er, did you not say that when the master is disgraced, the servant dies, and you would gladly sacrifice to stand in my stead? If you desire enough power to confront the Eternal Gods and eradicate Chu Xisheng for me, ordinary methods won’t suffice."
Those around the cemetery who heard this were revealing looks of different emotions, gazing at Chu Ming with a touch of pity.
Zhangsun Bingquan’s reaction was slightly slower.
She quickly realized what Emperor Jianyuan intended, her eyes suddenly widened.
—This was the fun thing Emperor Jianyuan had mentioned earlier!
This Dog Emperor seemingly intended to throw his niece into this tomb, to refine her into an evil corpse.
