Chapter 343: Chapter 319: Spirit Level Bloodline
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Following a series of crisp cracks, Nie Yun’s Qi Sea churned once more. Five brand-new Bloodline Factors suddenly appeared within it, spinning rapidly and shimmering with a unique light.
"Five of them? There are actually five?" Nie Yun froze for a moment, then was overcome with elation.
’This is the most Bloodline Factors I’ve ever awakened at once since I started practicing the Nameless Technique. The first time, I awakened two. The second, four. The third, three. And this time, five...’
’Wait a minute. Logically, this time and the last time should count as a single instance, since it takes two sessions for the Nameless Technique to complete one full Circulation.’
’First circulation, two. Second circulation, four. Third circulation, three plus five makes eight...’
’Could it be that the number of Bloodline Factors doubles with each circulation of the Nameless Technique?’
’If that’s really the case, then as long as I have enough of that special aura, won’t I be able to manifest sixteen Bloodline Factors the next time I complete a circulation?’
’Heavens...’
The thought left Nie Yun completely stunned.
In his understanding, possessing nine Bloodline Factors already marked someone as a supreme figure with a Royal Family’s Top Grade Bloodline. How could it be possible to have ten, or even more?
But the proof was right before his eyes. Staring at the five newly manifested Bloodline Factors in his Qi Sea, Nie Yun felt like he was dreaming.
BOOM!
Just as Nie Yun was feeling dazed, the ancient and profound will that had appeared in his mind once before resounded again.
"Heaven and Earth Creation, Spirit Level Bloodline, barriers eliminated, strength greatly increased!"
That will had appeared once before, right after he was reborn. Back then, it had said, "Heaven and Earth Creation, Infinite Bloodline!"
But now, the message was longer: "Spirit Level Bloodline, barriers eliminated, strength greatly increased!"... What did it all mean?
After the will resounded, it fell silent once more.
"This... this... this is impossible!"
Shaking his head, Nie Yun was about to resume absorbing the special aura to open his Dantian when he sensed something unusual in his Qi Sea. One look nearly scared him to death.
He saw that the depths of his Qi Sea were slowly drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Creation Qi, nourishing his entire body!
’Drawing upon Heaven and Earth Creation Qi is an ability only a Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm Powerhouse should possess. How could I, a mere Ultimate Venerable—and a Mid-Stage Ultimate Venerable Peak at that—have such an ability?’
"The barrier between the Ultimate Venerable Realm and the Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm is gone? Could that be what the message meant by ’barriers eliminated’?"
Sensing the change within himself, Nie Yun discovered that the barrier to reaching the Secret Realm had vanished completely. He was once again left speechless with astonishment.
Every cultivator faces barriers. It’s like the one between the Armor Realm and the Qi Sect Realm; if you can’t achieve a complete and thorough understanding, you can’t break through and advance!
From Qi Sect to Ultimate Venerable, and from Ultimate Venerable to Secret Realm! There’s a barrier between every level. The latter, in particular, is an immense barrier, as difficult to cross as ascending to the heavens. If it weren’t so, there wouldn’t be only a handful of Secret Realm Powerhouses on the entire Qi Sea Continent, despite its multitude of Ultimate Venerable Powerhouses!
Nie Yun had faced this natural barrier as well. He had felt that even with his profound foundation, breaking through to the Secret Realm would be incredibly difficult. Who would have thought that after manifesting five more Bloodline Factors, the barrier between realms within his body would just... disappear!
In other words, as long as the current Nie Yun cultivated diligently, he could advance directly to the Secret Realm without even needing to worry about a breakthrough!
The barrier to the Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm, the greatest obstacle at the Qi Sea Level, now no longer existed for Nie Yun. If word of this got out, it would be utterly unbelievable!
’The will’s message mentioned a Spirit Level Bloodline. Could this be it? A bloodline that can completely eliminate the barrier to the Secret Realm? It seems there are still many things about this world I don’t know. I’ll have to investigate carefully in the future!’
A flash of insight brought the Spirit Level Bloodline mentioned in the will’s message to mind.
In his past life, although he had stood at the peak of the Floating Heaven Continent, he had died too young (for a Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm Powerhouse, being over three hundred years was not old at all, since the truly powerful ones could live for millennia. It’s like how a sixty-year-old human is considered elderly, while a sixty-year-old tortoise might just be reaching adolescence...). Furthermore, his research had been too scattered, and his actual accumulation of knowledge was still too shallow. As a result, he had never even heard of what a Spirit Level Bloodline was!
’Forget it. I’ll stop thinking about it for now. Time to keep absorbing the special aura and advance!’
Shaking his head, he knew this wasn’t the time to dwell on such things. The Nameless Technique resumed its circulation, absorbing the special aura from the Imperial Crown.
BOOM!
He continued to absorb, and this time, his Qi Sea began to expand. Sure enough, with a great roar, the inside of his Qi Sea expanded once more.
CRUMBLE!
Finally, the special aura within the Imperial Crown was completely absorbed. It suffered the same fate as the previous items, completely dissipating and turning into a pile of dust.
"Ten times. My Qi Sea expanded by another ten times. This... Is this Nameless Technique trying to screw me over...?"
Staring at his own Qi Sea, Nie Yun felt a wave of helplessness.
His Qi Sea was now ten times larger than it was before. If it was an ocean before, now it was an entire planet!
It was simply too vast. His once-profound True Qi, which had allowed him to stand proud across the Qi Sea Continent, was now like a single grain of rice in a giant vat, or a single drop of water in a river. If he didn’t look closely, he couldn’t even see it!
He could just cry.
Nie Yun felt like dying!
’It had taken him untold effort to accumulate that one grain of rice, that one drop of water. Now, to fill this entire vat, this entire river, how much Spiritual Qi would he need? How many Elixirs? I fear that even absorbing a million Low-Grade Spirit Stones wouldn’t be enough to fill it!’
To advance, his Qi Sea had to be filled. A Qi Sea this enormous... even with his current rapid cultivation speed, it would be impossible to fill it in less than a hundred years!
"I can only rely on things like Elixirs to raise my Cultivation! Thankfully, I’ve plundered so many Treasure Vaults and have plenty of Elixirs for replenishing True Qi. Once I get out of this Treasure Vault, I’ll just have to refill it bit by bit!"
Shaking his head, he cast aside his frustration. With a thought, he focused his Spirit on the five newly formed Bloodline Factors.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
With five crisp cracks, the five Bloodline Factors completely transformed into Dantians. They spun rapidly, ceaselessly devouring Spiritual Qi and converting it into True Qi.
With the formation of these five Dantians, he now had a total of fifteen inside his body. With so many Dantians constantly devouring Spiritual Qi, Nie Yun suddenly realized that his absorption speed had also increased by nearly ten times!
’This must be the benefit of the so-called Spirit Level Bloodline. My Spiritual Qi absorption speed is ten times faster. This means filling such a vast Qi Sea will only take about ten years! If I can get to a place with abundant Spiritual Qi like the Floating Heaven Continent, it won’t even take a few years for my Qi Sea to be completely full!’
Feeling his accelerated Spiritual Qi absorption speed, Nie Yun’s frustration finally eased.
"Alright, time to form the Celestial Eye Dantian!"
He had previously observed the Celestial Eye Qi and understood its properties. With a thought, one of his Dantians completely transformed, becoming the special talent: the Celestial Eye!
"Time to test it out!"
He circulated True Qi through the Celestial Eye Dantian, forming Celestial Eye Qi. A brilliant light immediately shot from Nie Yun’s eyes, scanning the dark Treasure Vault. (To be continued.
