The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 421 362: The Bloodline of the Dao Ancestor

The power of bloodlines isn't something Chu Huaixu is particularly familiar with.

It's basically something innate, very hard to acquire later on.

There's a saying in the Profound Yellow Realm that the offspring of Ninth Realm Great Cultivators have a higher chance of possessing bloodline power.

Some even say that if someone has bloodline power, their ancestors definitely included a Ninth Realm Great Cultivator.

Whether this is a definite conclusion, Chu Huaixu isn't sure.

But throughout the Profound Yellow Realm, cultivators with bloodline power are indeed rare.

"If I remember correctly, that Kuimu Quan from Spring and Autumn Mountain has a Geng Metal bloodline."

He has a quite strong impression of this prodigy from Spring and Autumn Mountain, who he fiercely defeated in the First Realm East Continent Grand Competition.

The world protagonist Qin Xuexiao, who he killed, also seemed to have it.

But truthfully, there's someone he's more familiar with, who also has bloodline power.

And that's the Big Ice Cube.

The so-called Profound Yin Body actually refers to having a [Spiritual Embryo: Profound Yin] and [Profound Yin bloodline].

Specifically, those with Super Grade Spiritual Embryos inevitably carry special power within their bloodline, perfectly matching the Spiritual Embryo itself.

"The strongest initiator a thousand years ago, Dao Ancestor, his so-called Pure Yang Body contained the Pure Yang bloodline," Chu Huaixu thought.

And what's interesting to him is that he now has three options before him.

Among them, Pure Yang bloodline is prominently included!

Since it's a Celestial Level treasure chest, the treasures inside are naturally Celestial Level.

Chu Huaixu didn't expect Pure Yang bloodline would appear.

After carefully examining the detailed introduction, he found no note requiring that Primordial Yang be maintained.

This made him mumble internally: "So, was Dao Ancestor limited by the Pure Yang Spiritual Embryo?"

"Or was it the combination of Pure Yang bloodline and Pure Yang Spiritual Embryo that resulted in such an odd restriction?"

Chu Huaixu is not well-versed in this subject.

Nonetheless, redeeming the Pure Yang bloodline poses no significant problem.

The advantages of the Pure Yang bloodline are quite numerous.

"It's said that both Pure Yang Body and Profound Yin Body enable one to cultivate rapidly."

"The Pure Yang bloodline indeed possesses certain effects."

"Because players use Experience Points for upgrades, the system automatically converts it to reduce the required Experience Points."

"The reduction is quite significant, with as much as a twenty percent discount."

This feature alone made Chu Huaixu immensely excited.

Upon reaching the Fourth Realm, he noticeably felt the exorbitant Experience Points cost for upgrading.

Spending millions could only enhance a few levels.

This advantage becomes increasingly evident in later stages.

"Truly extraordinary," he marveled internally.

"If paired with the Pure Yang Spiritual Embryo, I dare not even imagine!" Chu Huaixu mused.

Besides this, there are numerous minor features.

For instance, the speed of spiritual power circulation increases by 8%.

The power of Qi and blood strengthens by 5%.

What astonished Chu Huaixu was the system's remark at the end.

"It can actually enhance my Dao Seal power?"

"This thing is perfectly compatible with [Nan Liujing]!"

He strongly felt now his connection to the Dao Ancestor's legacy was no coincidence.

After browsing through the Pure Yang bloodline information, Chu Huaixu directed his attention to the other two options.

The remaining two types of bloodline power are known as: Ancient Bloodline and Radiant Heaven Bloodline.

Each name seems more imposing than the other.

Yet, their functions mainly focus on boosting output, critical hit, speed, and such.

Both are combat-oriented bloodlines.

The Pure Yang bloodline's augmentation in battle isn't particularly significant.

If Chu Huaixu weren't a Body Cultivator, the boost to Qi and blood power would be negligible.

"Ordinary cultivators rarely practice Body Refining; how much Qi and blood power could they possibly possess?"

"A mere 5% enhancement is practically useless."

"But for a Body Cultivator, especially someone like me past the Third Realm's blood refining stage, the boost in Qi and blood power is substantial."

However, even so, it's incomparable to the Ancient Bloodline.

The Ancient Bloodline strengthens Qi and blood power by an impressive 15%!

"Coupled with the name of this bloodline... Could the ancient methods initially focused on Body Refining?" Chu Huaixu began to speculate.

Overall, the Pure Yang bloodline is functional, while the other two are purely combat-oriented.

The former is similar to Han Shuangjiang's, the latter akin to Kuimu Quan's.

After a moment of indecision, Chu Huaixu's gaze rested once more on the Pure Yang bloodline.

"I'll choose it."

"It saves Experience Points. What's saved can be spent on enhancing other attributes, providing more operational space."

With this resolution, Chu Huaixu couldn't help but slap his thigh intensely.

"Bang—!"

Not fearing pain, he inadvertently applied too much force, breaking his thigh bone.

"Damn it, shouldn't have shown off in front of Wen Shiyu and upgraded so much at once!"

"What a waste!"

"Originally, it could have been at a twenty percent discount."

Chu Huaixu was utterly exasperated, though he couldn't have foreseen these events.

Redeeming the Pure Yang bloodline, he soon closed his eyes.

For a warm current began to emerge within his body.

Moreover, it quickly grew hotter, eventually causing his entire body to redden.

The veins visible beneath his skin seemed on the verge of bursting.

He felt his entire blood was boiling.

If not for his extremely high pain threshold, this process might have been torturous.

It was as if all the blood in his body turned into boiling water.

This boiling water flowed inside him.

Such a sensation was certainly unpleasant.

Soon, Chu Huaixu's whole being started to emit smoke....

In the palm of his left hand, the golden characters [Nan Liujing] suddenly emerged, the radiating gold light becoming increasingly intense.

A portion of the warmth within his blood integrated into the Dao Seal.

The process of merging bloodline power wasn't as swift as imagined.

A full day and night went by like this.

Chu Huaixu couldn't help thinking: "If it were anyone else enduring such a day and night of torment, they'd likely break down."

Sometimes he considered himself rather enigmatic.

Slowly opening his eyes, Chu Huaixu exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

His eyes sparkled, his overall state appeared excellent.

Upon sensing the enhancement of power, a satisfied expression surfaced on his face.

Chu Huaixu raised his left hand again, activating [Nan Liujing].

"The augmentation is quite evident."

"I wonder whether this will aid Zhong Ming's recovery?"

This aspect he still quite cared about.

Zhong Ming possesses too many enigmatical elements.

Not only involving what occurred on the Fifth Floor of the Origin Spirit Realm in the past but now also concerning the Fruit Position.

"Only when he awakens can these matters be clarified."

"Besides, this person is not only powerful but reportedly possesses unparalleled wisdom."

Such an elder is surely more reliable than his vain and jealous master.

Chu Huaixu stood up, pushed open the door of the Training Room, then walked into the adjacent room.

After a day and night passed, Wen Shiyu was still crafting the Outer Body Incarnation.

This made him realize things seem slow over at Kunlun Cave Heaven.

The cultivation speed is slow, and crafting speed is also slow...

Nangong Yue might take only a few days to forge a Magical Treasure.

But if it's at Kunlun Cave Heaven, it might take several months.

Chu Huaixu first politely greeted Nangong Yue: "Master."

Nangong Yue was earnestly observing the crafting process, seeing her beloved disciple enter, she merely nodded.

"It seems it will take some time," Chu Huaixu said standing by her side.

"I estimate several more days," Nangong Yue nodded, continuing:

"I'll keep watching here; you don't have to waste your time here."

"Alright," Chu Huaixu replied.

He was merely here to have a casual look, not intending to wait forever.

"Master, remember to call me when it's close to completion," he reminded.

For by that time, he needed to use Holy Water to extract the Four Symbols Spirit Root from the Evil Pill and place it back into Ye Kongxuan's corpse.
