67: Chapter 67: Spiritual Power is the Foundation of Everything (Dragon Blood Body)

“Of course, this is merely from the perspective of Spiritual Qi; for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to successfully Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, their Physical Body strength and Divine Sense power must also keep pace.

Spiritual Qi is the Foundation of Cultivation; a strong Physique relies on the dual nourishment of blood and Spiritual Qi, and a stable and powerful Divine Sense cannot be separated from the strong support of a robust Physique. However, Spiritual Qi is always the source and core of everything in the Cultivation World.

In the Cultivation World, Spiritual Qi is the source of all things.

Mortals, lacking Spiritual Roots, cannot absorb Spiritual Qi, and therefore have no hope on the path of Cultivation.

Regardless of how strange or varied the Cultivation Techniques and Spells that exist in the outside world may be, Spiritual Qi is their Foundation and reliance, which shows the importance of Spiritual Roots is self-evident.

Wang Bin listened attentively to the words of Ninth Grandpa and Hall Master Chu, and could not help but fall into deep thought.

Spiritual Qi, this fundamental element of the Cultivation World, forms a stark contrast with the human world of his previous life.

In his previous life, humans had already begun to explore the mysteries of the Universe in the Realm of thought, yet due to the lack of Spiritual Qi, their Physical Body functions were limited, and their lifespans were too short, making it difficult to achieve higher-level pursuits.

And in this Cultivation World, Spiritual Roots, as the only talent capable of absorbing Spiritual Qi, directly determine the speed of Cultivation.

In fact, as long as one possesses Spiritual Roots, they theoretically have the possibility of Cultivating to the Soul Transformation Realm; it's just that compared to Single Spiritual Root Cultivators, the time and Cultivation resources required are often several or even dozens of times more.

Realizing this, Wang Bin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there is hope, there is a direction to strive for, and although his Three Spiritual Roots Aptitude is not top-tier, it is still passable.

As for himself not being evaluated as having the potential for key cultivation, this is also reasonable.

If this Physical Body had an Innate talent, why would it have been arranged to go to White Cloud City in the first place?

The only thing that made him feel regret was the faint Dragon Clan Bloodline on his body.

The thought patterns of Cultivators in the Cultivation World are vastly different from his own; they don't seem to understand the potential value contained within this faint Bloodline.

Even if it's just an extremely subtle trace of Dragon Clan Bloodline, as long as it exists, it means infinite possibilities.

He could capture other Biology containing Dragon Clan Bloodline, extract their Bloodline to purify his own Dragon Blood, and in this way, he might be able to achieve the growth and sublimation of his Bloodline.

Thinking of this, he looked at Ninth Grandpa with anticipation and unwillingness.

“Senior, since I have Dragon Clan Bloodline, is there a way to strengthen it?

For example, if I capture other Yao Beasts that contain Dragon Clan Bloodline and extract their Bloodline to strengthen my own Dragon Clan Bloodline, is that feasible?”

“Hahahahaha, good boy, you have quite the ambition! I, too, had a similar idea back in the day, but alas, things didn't go as planned!”

Upon hearing Wang Bin's words, Chu Wu first let out a hearty laugh, his eyes revealing admiration for Wang Bin's courage, then he shook his head slightly and sighed,

“Dragon Clan Bloodline is extremely special; at least a Yao Beast of the Jiaolong Clan level is required to extract even a small amount of Dragon Blood, and Jiaolong Clan belongs to the upper race among the Yao Race, with strength that cannot be underestimated.

In the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range next to your White Cloud City, there are several Jiaolong Clan residing. Once a Jiaolong Clan matures, its Cultivation can reach the Nascent Soul Stage, and there is even a Soul Transformation Realm Jiaolong Clan presiding there.

The Jiaolong Clan in the sea are even more numerous. To prevent other races from coveting their Bloodline, their various clans formed an alliance early on. If one party is attacked, all sides will come to their aid.

Otherwise, do you think the Demon Beast Mountain Range could stand safely on the continent? It would have been uprooted and completely annihilated by our Four Seas Commerce League long ago.”

Chu Wu looked at Wang Bin with an appreciative expression, secretly thinking to himself, this boy's courage is truly not small, perhaps it can truly be said that ignorance is bliss.

Seeing Wang Bin's puzzled expression, Chu Wu patiently continued to explain:

“Are you perhaps asking why the Chu Family dares to extract the Bloodline of the Azure Flame Bird, yet is so wary of the Dragon Clan Bloodline?

The reason is that the Yao Beasts with Qingluan Bloodline are isolated and have not produced any extremely powerful individuals, nor do they have a powerful force as a backing, so killing them carries no worries.

But the Jiaolong Clan is completely different. If you kill a Jiaolong Clan, unless your Sect has enough strength to resist the Jiaolong Clan's furious retaliation, it's best to keep it a strict secret and not let anyone know.

Of course, there are never a lack of reckless people in the world. A thousand years ago, there was a Cultivator nicknamed 'Dragon Slaughtering True Lord', whose idea was exactly like yours.”

Chu Wu paused for a moment, organizing his thoughts, then continued to narrate:

“This person, known as 'Dragon Slaughtering True Lord', had only a moderate Spiritual Root Aptitude, and like you, belonged to the Three Spiritual Roots category.

However, surprisingly, he was born with half a Dragon Clan Bloodline, but at first, this special characteristic was not detected.

At that time, because he was only a Three Spiritual Roots Cultivator, the Aptitude testing for him was not comprehensive or in-depth enough.

Therefore, even though he carried a mysterious Dragon Clan Bloodline, it was not discovered in time.

Thus, he embarked on the path of Cultivation like many ordinary Cultivators.

During the long and arduous process of Cultivation, he constantly strived, hoping to Breakthrough himself and reach a higher Realm.

However, fate always seemed to enjoy playing tricks on people. When he attempted to charge into the Core Formation Realm, he suffered a tragic failure, even once teetering on the brink of death.

Just when everyone thought he would never recover from this setback, a miracle occurred.

Perhaps the immense pressure between life and death activated the hidden power within his body, or perhaps Heaven could not bear to let such a unique existence perish. In any case, at that critical moment, the long-dormant Dragon Blood in his body suddenly experienced an Awakening!

This shocking change immediately attracted the attention of the high-ranking officials of his Sect.

After a thorough and detailed examination, the Sect finally confirmed that he actually possessed an extremely rare and powerful special Physique — the Dragon Blood Body!

Once activated, this Physique bestows extraordinary potential and abilities upon its possessor.

Upon learning this news, the Sect unhesitatingly launched full-scale and vigorous support for him.

They not only provided him with top-tier Cultivation resources but also dispatched experienced Elders to personally guide his Cultivation.

Under the Sect's painstaking cultivation, he finally successfully formed his Golden Core, becoming a truly Golden Core Stage master.

However, although his Cultivation speed did indeed improve significantly after Core Formation, due to the limitations of his own Spiritual Root Aptitude, his Cultivation progress still appeared somewhat slow compared to the Innate and outstanding Spiritual Root Geniuses within the Sect.

So, he set his mind on the Dragon Clan Bloodline.

Adult Jiaolong Clan were too powerful, and he knew he couldn't contend with them. However, the Dragon Blood in Jiaolong Clan eggs and young Jiaolong Clan, though relatively less, was still more than what he himself contained.

He found a special Magic Treasure from somewhere. This Magic Treasure could conceal his aura. With this treasure, he extensively hunted more than a dozen young Jiaolong Clan in the Demon Beast Mountain Range and the sea, extracting their Dragon Blood to purify his own Bloodline.

In just fifty years, he successfully advanced from the Golden Core Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm, breaking the fastest record for advancing to Nascent Soul in his School.”

“After advancing to Nascent Soul, his special Physique and outstanding achievements were noticed by the Sect Master Family of his Tian Yuan Sect.

To further strengthen the Family Bloodline, 'Dragon Slaughtering True Lord' was forced to marry more than a dozen female Cultivators from the Sect Master Family and sought out Spiritual Objects and Medicinal Pills that could increase the chances of Nascent Soul Cultivators conceiving and giving birth.

Ultimately, they got their wish and successfully cultivated offspring with Dragon Clan Bloodline.

At that time, the concentration of Dragon Clan Bloodline in 'Dragon Slaughtering True Lord' had already increased to 20%, and his Physical Body strength far exceeded that of Human Race Cultivators at the same Realm.

He and his many wives had ten children in total, two of whom inherited his special Physique from birth, naturally possessing half a Dragon Clan Bloodline.

This result made the entire Family rejoice, and 'Dragon Slaughtering True Lord' gained even more confidence. To further increase the concentration of Dragon Clan Bloodline in himself and his children, he continued on the journey of hunting Jiaolong Clan.

After all, carrying Dragon Clan Bloodline, with the School secretly supporting him from behind, plus a set of top-tier Magic Treasures for self-defense, among Nascent Soul Cultivators, few opponents could match him. His Physical Body strength was unparalleled.”

“But as the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

His frequent hunting of the Jiaolong Clan was eventually discovered by the Jiaolong Clan.

Although he resisted fiercely when ambushed, escaped with injuries, and used a special Magic Treasure to conceal his information, making it difficult for the Jiaolong Clan to determine his true identity for a time.

However, his good luck did not last long. To find the culprit, the Jiaolong Clan offered a reward of three Po Ying Dan.

Po Ying Dan are of great help to Cultivators in Breaking through the Golden Core Stage Bottleneck, stimulating their potential, and increasing the success rate of Breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage. Their value is so high that it makes people drool. Under a heavy reward, there will always be traitors.

In just three days, someone betrayed him for the high reward.”

“The Jiaolong Clan, based on the information provided by the traitor, investigated briefly and confirmed his identity.

'Dragon Slaughtering True Lord' had a powerful Physical Body and distinctive features. In addition, the traitor, to obtain more bounty, also exposed his two children who possessed Dragon Clan Bloodline.

Suddenly, almost the entire Jiaolong Clan poured out, with over a dozen Soul Transformation Realm Yao Race, hundreds of Nascent Soul Yao Race, and countless small Yao gathering, surrounding the Tian Yuan Sect where 'Dragon Slaughtering True Lord' was located, making it impenetrable.

Although Tian Yuan Sect was protected by a Sect-protecting array, there were only five Soul Transformation Realm Cultivators within the Sect, facing such a powerful attack, they felt immense pressure.”

“However, at this moment of life and death, the Human Race Cultivators showed a united front.

Everyone knew the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. If Tian Yuan Sect were to be destroyed today, it might be their own Sect's turn tomorrow.

Thus, Sects throughout the Cultivation World dispatched masters to support Tian Yuan Sect, and some great Yao from the Yao Race also came to assist. A fierce battle between the Human and Yao Races thus erupted.

The battle lasted for a long time, and ultimately Tian Yuan Sect was reduced to ruins. The contemporary Sect Master, Tian Yuanzi, to protect the Sect, did not hesitate to self-detonate his body, perishing with the enemy.

Both sides suffered heavy losses in this battle. Although 'Dragon Slaughtering True Lord' was a top-tier expert among Nascent Soul Cultivators, he was still difficult to resist when facing the encirclement of Soul Transformation Cultivators.

Throughout the entire war, he was consistently regarded as the primary target by the Jiaolong Clan, who pursued him with all their might.

After the war, his whereabouts became unknown, and Tian Yuan Sect was disbanded.

Its original territory gradually split, forming the current Tian Yuan Empire and the Four Seas Commerce League.

I heard that one of the founders of our Four Seas Commerce League was a Soul Transformation Cultivator from Tian Yuan Sect. Both forces retained a part of the original Tian Yuan Sect's power.

Since then, few people have dared to easily hunt the Jiaolong Clan.”

After finishing this thrilling story, Chu Wu smiled and looked at Wang Bin, asking, “The story is over, Qingmu (Little Friend), do you still have the idea of extracting Dragon Clan Bloodline in your heart now?”
