The blood of the golden-eyed Suanni, the competition for succession

Compared to the ordinary Yao Beast treasure blood, this treasure blood flowed with rich crimson-gold Divine Radiance.

Strands of Dao and divinity circulated within it, occasionally manifesting as miniature, pocket-sized Suanni.

They tumbled and leaped in the blood, profound and boundless, clearly extraordinary at a glance.

Lin Xingyun held the bottle of treasure blood and observed it for a while, then nodded with satisfaction, immediately intending to use it for Body Tempering.

"Don't move, let me do it."

"Although the Golden Eyed Suanni's treasure blood is potent, it is also extremely overbearing and can easily harm the body, requiring careful use."

At this moment, a fragrant breeze assailed him, and Shadow Clear appeared behind him, cautioning him with an indifferent expression.

"Mhm, Aunt Ying, here."

"Then, why don't we do it like before? You can help me bathe."

Lin Xingyun handed over the treasure blood, staring at Shadow Clear and instructing her, a pure and innocent smile curving his lips.

Shadow Clear's delicate body trembled, and a blush appeared on her mature and calm face.

She couldn't help but recall that although she had accompanied Lin Xingyun since childhood, protecting him and taking care of his daily needs.

The last time she had served the Young Lord in bathing seemed to be... the last time...

"Nonsense! Do you still think you're a child?!"

Shadow Clear indignantly reprimanded him, unable to resist reaching out and tapping Lin Xingyun's head.

But her hands didn't stop; she immediately waved and took out a golden cauldron from her qiankun ring, placed a large amount of Spirit Spring water and Body Tempering Spirit Medicine into it, and activated her spiritual power to refine them into a Medicinal Liquid.

Then, with her face slightly lowered, she walked to Lin Xingyun, skillfully and carefully untying his belt and unbuttoning his collar, slowly undressing him.

Waves of intoxicating yet incredibly familiar subtle fragrance emanated, causing Shadow Clear to involuntarily narrow her eyes.

She inhaled lightly with a hint of intoxication, but dared not show too much, only moving extremely slowly and gently, prolonging the process as much as possible.

After quite a while, Shadow Clear couldn't help but swallow, her face flushed as beautiful as an evening glow.

Finally, she hesitated and stopped her movements, slightly out of breath as she spoke.

"Alright, come in..."

"Mhm, okay."

Lin Xingyun then stepped into the cauldron, beginning to temper his Physical Body with the Medicinal Liquid.

Originally, after his Physical Body strength reached 100,000 catties, these Medicinal Liquids had very little effect on him.

But after Shadow Clear took the Golden Eyed Suanni treasure blood and carefully poured in a few drops.

Immediately, cries of exotic beasts echoed within the Medicinal Liquid.

Pure and profound energies boiled and surged in the cauldron, and Lin Xingyun instantly felt as if his insides were burning, and his body began to split open and bleed!

The crimson-gold Golden Eyed Suanni treasure blood was like a potent poison, wildly assaulting his Physical Body.

While causing him unbearable pain, it was also breaking through the limits of his Physical Body strength.

It was like expanding the depth of an already full pool.

Those Medicinal Liquids that had previously ceased to be effective were now surprisingly absorbed by Lin Xingyun again, beginning to assist in strengthening his Physical Body.

Sweat beaded on Lin Xingyun's face; although he remained silent, Shadow Clear could see that he was enduring the pain of Physical Body Tempering.

She immediately raised her hand and pressed it on Lin Xingyun's shoulder, carefully controlling strands of vibrant azure spiritual power to surge into his body.

She was a Wanghou Realm Perfection Cultivator, having already cultivated the power of Dao, specifically the Dao of Healing, which specialized in treating life force.

Although she had not yet reached the Perfection Realm to Breakthrough to the Saint Realm.

Simply healing Lin Xingyun's injuries was more than enough.

As the spiritual power of the Dao of Healing poured in, Lin Xingyun's Physical Body continuously broke and repaired, rapidly strengthening.

Those few drops of Golden Eyed Suanni treasure blood also gradually faded and dispersed.

Four hours later, the treasure blood and Spirit Medicine in the cauldron were finally completely absorbed.

Lin Xingyun was covered in fine sweat and let out a sigh of relief.

After resting for a while, he discovered upon introspection that his Physical Body strength had once again broken through its limit, reaching 108,000 catties!

"Just keep tempering the Physical Body like this."

"If you're weak, then train more. At least don't be weaker than Lin Feng in any Realm!"

His eyes were filled with surging ambition, and he couldn't help but fantasize.

In the future, if he succeeded in his Cultivation and met Lin Feng's fiancée, Liu Xinyan, again.

He would definitely make her admit herself that he was stronger than Lin Feng!

"Aunt Ying, thank you for using the Dao of Healing to repair my injured body."

"I remember when I was little, whenever I fell or sprained myself, you would also press on my wound, and it would heal instantly."

"Aunt Ying is so good..."

Lin Xingyun spoke as if in a dream, the process of tempering his Physical Body was long and arduous, and he was already somewhat fatigued and sleepy.

"Yes, time really flies..."

"It feels like in the blink of an eye, you've grown so big..."

Shadow Clear looked at the handsome face so close to her, and that perfect body like white jade, gently sniffing the other party's body scent, also murmuring as if in a dream.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Shadow Clear noticed that Lin Xingyun's breathing had become steady, and the familiar rhythm let her know that her Young Lord had fallen asleep.

"Gulp—"

Seeing this, she gently swallowed, then slowly lowered her face... [10,000 words omitted]

After a long while, Lin Xingyun slowly woke up.

Upon waking, he felt that something was off from head to toe.

When he looked back, he found Shadow Clear flustered, her face flushed.

Her hair was still stained with a little moisture, which she was rapidly evaporating with her spiritual power.

"Awake? Continue tempering your Physical Body."

"Always trying to be lazy! Do you know you've wasted eighteen years? Now you need to work even harder."

Shadow Clear's tone remained as cold as ice.

As she spoke, she picked up the bottle of Golden Eyed Suanni treasure blood and continued to pour it into the golden cauldron, simultaneously adding a large amount of Body Tempering Spirit Medicine.

"Hehe, alright."

Lin Xingyun chuckled, seemingly having thought of something.

But he didn't expose it, allowing Shadow Clear to continue helping him temper his Physical Body.

It was fortunate that Liu Fengyi always provided him with extremely generous financial resources whenever he went out, allowing him to spend lavishly.

As the saying goes, what good is being able to fight!

To succeed, you need influence and background!

A month later, in the Imperial Palace's Martial Arts Arena.

All the civil and military officials, along with the imperial relatives and nobles, gathered here, for today was the day of the Heavenly Revelation Dynasty's Imperial Succession Grand Competition.

Heavenly Revelation was a Martial Dao Imperial Dynasty, and the selection of the Imperial Dynasty's Crown Prince throughout history had to be done through Martial Dao competitions.

Moreover, for fairness, only Cultivators at the Yuanfu Realm were allowed to compete; those whose Cultivation Realm had not reached the Yuanfu Realm were naturally deemed to have forfeited their right to succession.

The purpose was to select the Imperial Prince with the best talent to inherit the throne.

At this moment, Xiao Chen sat below the Martial Arts Arena, his face incredibly gloomy.

His anger and frustration had accumulated to the extreme!

Like a barrel of gunpowder.

It seemed as if looking at him for too long would cause him to explode!

Getting any closer would cause one to melt!

Because these past few days, he had been like someone possessed by an evil god; nothing went smoothly!

And behind every troublesome incident, Lin Xingyun's shadow was more or less present...

He wasn't a fool; Han Feng had also reminded him that Lin Xingyun was clearly targeting him, and his best option was to escape the Imperial City to avoid disaster.

Where there's life, there's hope!

However, Xiao Chen was unwilling; he insisted on participating in the Imperial Prince Succession Grand Competition.

When his Cultivation was crippled, he endured humiliation, kept secrets, and suffered the cold stares of officials and his brothers!

For so many years, avenging himself and securing the Crown Prince position had been his greatest obsession!

He had made up his mind that even if he had to avoid disaster, he would at least wait until he had secured the Crown Prince position!

Han Feng couldn't dissuade him and could only advise him to be extra careful.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Martial Arts Arena.

Lin Xingyun and Xiao Qianluo were also seated together, watching the competition.

Compared to Xiao Chen's bitter and resentful expression, Lin Xingyun was exceptionally refreshed!

In these past two months, he had been impolite, successively, either openly or secretly, plundering Xiao Chen's Opportunities six more times!

These included Medicinal Pills, Magic Treasures, Spirit Stones, life-saving Divine Objects, and so on.

However, Lin Xingyun had a rich family background; these things were very important to Xiao Chen, but dispensable to him.

But the most important of them was a [Qinglian Fire Seed]!

Although Cultivators usually need to Cultivate to the Divine Fire Realm to Cultivate their Natal Divine Fire, there are also some naturally occurring Divine Fire Seeds between heaven and earth.

These Fire Seeds not only greatly assist Cultivators who Cultivate Fire-element Cultivation Techniques.

If a Cultivator can integrate it into their own Divine Fire when advancing to the Divine Fire Realm, the benefits are even more immense!

And at this moment, Lin Xingyun's Destiny Value, through plundering Opportunities and continuously messing with Xiao Chen's mentality, had reached 166,666 points!

Xiao Chen's Destiny Value had also dwindled to only 24,444 points.

With this ebb and flow, the current Xiao Chen was truly being plucked bald by him!

He knew that Xiao Chen's demise was imminent, and it was almost time for him to leave the Heavenly Revelation Dynasty.

"Luo Luo, after the Imperial Succession Grand Competition ends, let's return to the Lin family together."

"After I transformed my Physique, my mother and the others have been looking forward to my return."

Lin Xingyun looked at Xiao Qianluo beside him and found that she was lost in thought, not even hearing him call her.

"Luo Luo, Luo Luo?"

"Oh! Good... good!"

Xiao Qianluo finally snapped out of it, responding woodenly twice, clearly preoccupied.

Lin Xingyun couldn't help but frown upon seeing her like this.

Ever since Xiao Qianluo got drunk that day, she had often been so absent-minded when she was with him.

"Did she see the note I left?"

Lin Xingyun lowered his gaze slightly, no longer speaking, wanting to let Xiao Qianluo calm down first.

But at this moment, the Grand Competition was underway, and with all eyes on them, Lin Xingyun couldn't press her further, so he could only continue to look at the competition stage.

Soon, one Imperial Prince after another emerged victorious or defeated.

And Xiao Chen, relying on his extraordinary talent and Han Feng's cultivation.

He overcame challenges, defeated many brothers, and reached the final match.

"Final match: Fourth Imperial Prince Xiao Zhen versus Ninth Imperial Prince Xiao Chen!"

"The competition is to the point; two Imperial Princes, please!"

As a military official announced in a loud voice, Xiao Chen and Xiao Zhen stepped onto the Martial Arts Arena.

"Ninth Brother, please."

"Fourth Imperial Brother, be careful!"

After exchanging greetings, the two immediately began to spar.

Xiao Zhen was much older, his Cultivation having already reached the Late Stage of the Yuanfu Realm, just one step away from reaching the Perfection of the Yuanfu Realm.

Moreover, his Cultivation was diligent and painstaking, with a good Foundation; as soon as the two clashed, Xiao Chen fell into a disadvantage.

"Divine Flame Nine Revolutions!"

However, Xiao Chen roared, and the spiritual power in his body transformed into raging flames.

His Cultivation aura also suddenly soared to the Late Stage of the Yuanfu Realm!

But it only managed to regain some lost ground; for a time, it was still difficult to win.

The original him, who had not had his Opportunities plundered by Lin Xingyun, should have already stepped into the Late Stage of the Yuanfu Realm at this time.

Coupled with the assistance of Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities like the "Sword Soul Emperor Scripture" and "Wind and Thunder Phantom," he could definitely win easily!

But the current him had already been plucked bald by Lin Xingyun!

His combat power was naturally greatly reduced.

Soon, the Cultivation amplification effect of Divine Flame Nine Revolutions also began to weaken.

Without the assistance of the [Qinglian Fire Seed], the effectiveness of this amplification secret technique was greatly diminished.

If this dragged on, he would undoubtedly lose!

"No! I can't lose!"

"Revered Master, help me!"

Xiao Chen was filled with unwillingness and immediately called out in his heart.

Immediately, an invisible Divine Soul Power surged from his qiankun ring, pouring into his limbs and bones!

Although his Cultivation did not increase, his strength was more than three times stronger than before!

"Extreme Flame Punch!"

Without hesitation, spiritual power surged in his right fist, and he unleashed a full-power strike!

As the punch was thrown, heavy sonic booms resounded throughout the arena.

Although Xiao Zhen tried his best to resist, he was still instantly sent flying out of the arena by this strike!

After landing, his aura weakened considerably, and he even spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, clearly defeated and unable to fight anymore!

"Ninth Imperial Prince wins!"

"Congratulations, Ninth Imperial Prince!"

As the officiating military official loudly announced, the assembled officials immediately rose and respectfully offered their congratulations.

This victory also meant that Xiao Chen would obtain the position of Crown Prince!

"Haha... haha..."

"Finally... I finally did it!"

"Many thanks to Revered Master for making this possible. Your Disciple will surely repay Revered Master's great kindness today three years from now!"

Xiao Chen regulated his breathing while secretly feeling excited and exhilarated.

At the same time, he did not forget to make the Three-Year Agreement.

He had waited for this day for too long, and he finally got it!

He looked around, accepting the respectful congratulations from the officials and the imperial relatives.

For a moment, he felt incredibly pleased and high-spirited!

He leaped off the stage, striding confidently towards Xiao Yang on the high throne.

Looking at his Imperial Father, who was now casting a look of approval, Xiao Chen became even more complacent.

Next, he would be personally appointed as Crown Prince by his Imperial Father under the gaze of all!

On the other hand, Lin Xingyun clicked his tongue in appreciation and frowned.

"Tsk, that's really good. It makes me want to spar with someone too."

He couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, his Cultivation was weak, his combat power was weak, his comprehension of Divine Abilities was slow, and he was busy spreading great love in the Immortal Realm.

This led to him rarely sparring with others.

But now it was different; he had transformed into a Dragon, and he also began to crave fighting and battling others!

The path of Cultivation was one of constant struggle and slaughter.

Only by enduring countless blood and bones could one achieve the status of a Great Emperor!

Just as Lin Xingyun was filled with ambition.

Shadow Clear, who was standing by his side, suddenly spoke up to remind him.
