Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

All four of them and the donkey consumed the Yellow Dragon Pill, and for safety, Zhou Heng once again took them into the Nine Mystic Trial Tower to refine the pill’s potency.

Upon seeing the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, the Black Donkey’s thieving eyes immediately began to turn, clearly having bad ideas again, but it was unrealistic to try to pull any tricks inside the Nine Mystic Trial Tower!

Even if the Black Donkey was green with envy at this moment, it did not act rashly, naturally prioritizing the digestion of the Yellow Dragon Pill’s potency.

Zhou Heng and the others sat down cross-legged, and that despicable donkey also sat down with legs crossed in an imitation of human posture, causing Lin Fuxiang to burst into laughter for a good while before she managed to suppress it.

Before long, the potency of the Yellow Dragon Pill began to dispel, and each of them, including the donkey, entered an absolutely quiet state, absorbing and refining the potency of the medicine.

Boom!

Zhou Heng felt a tremendous roar echoing inside his body, as countless streams of heat flooded into his Dantian, gathering into the shape of a long snake, yet with antlers on its head, four feet beneath its belly, and a body all green.

This was the legendary dragon!

How could a green dragon appear from a Yellow Dragon Pill?

Zhou Heng had no time to care about such things, for the green dragon was rampaging in his Dantian, its fierce dragon eyes glaring at him fiercely, as if it wanted to devour someone!

Of course, this wasn’t real; it was the will of a Divine Dragon remaining in the medicine’s potency, which, although largely worn away during the pill-making process, was still a Divine Dragon with overwhelming Dragon Might!

The Royal Family likes to use dragons as a symbol of their rule, precisely because they borrow the power of Dragon Might to showcase the majesty of the Imperial Clan!

To absorb the potency of the Yellow Dragon Pill, one must first subdue the Dragon Might, and in the process, there’s a chance to glimpse the secrets of Dragon Might. Whether one could possess Dragon Might depended on one’s own enlightenment.

Opportunity and enlightenment—these two points are indispensable for a Martial Artist who seeks the highest position.

As the Azure Dragon is associated with water, this Divine Dragon mobilized the Spiritual Power in Zhou Heng’s Dantian, transforming into water pillars that surged toward Zhou Heng’s Divine Sense, attempting to drive his Divine Sense out!

The shock of Dragon Might, like the arrival of a god, was terrifyingly powerful!

Hum!

Just then, the Black Sword moved, slashing directly at the Azure Dragon!

The once awe-inspiring Azure Dragon suddenly looked like a subject confronting the true emperor, fear evident in its eyes, not daring to resist, and instantly its head was severed by the sword, disintegrating into countless particles of starlight, re-entering Zhou Heng’s body.

Circulating and overflowing, merging with the blood, strange sensations arose in Zhou Heng’s heart, like the chanting of heaven and earth, with an indescribable sense of enlightenment.

This enlightenment was not his own, but merged into his blood, hammered into his body like nails, becoming part of him that wouldn’t fade as long as he was alive.

The medicinal power of the Yellow Dragon Pill was completely absorbed.

Zhou Heng opened his eyes, the whole process taking no more than ten minutes, and the reason for such speed was that the resistance of the Yellow Dragon Pill was slain by the Black Sword!

Indeed, this made things faster, but the downside was also clear. Zhou Heng himself did not suppress the Dragon Might, and thus could not comprehend it, much less talk about utilizing it. But after a second thought, Zhou Heng smiled.

What did he need Dragon Might for?

With the Black Sword unleashed, even the Divine Dragons were powerless to resist, and who knows how many times stronger that was than Dragon Might. Did he need to look further?

The Sky-soaring Nine Forms had the same capability as Dragon Might, dominating the opponent’s spirit, and since the Black Sword could suppress the Divine Dragon, it meant that the oppressive power of the Sky-soaring Nine Forms definitely surpassed Dragon Might. He was truly crying poor with a gold brick in his arms!

Zhou Heng shook his head with a smile, stretched out his right hand, and at the thought, a water ball emerged out of thin air, constantly revolving around his hand.

This was the ability brought to him by the Azure Dragon, Water Control.

Indeed, Bloodline Powers were like Martial Arts Techniques, but these techniques did not require learning as they were deeply rooted in the blood, naturally usable, and with immense and endless wonderful uses.

Take his Metallic Transformation, for instance. Even though it was only at the level of a Ten-Star Human Spirit Body for now, looking at its effects, it was more precious than the Five Elements Lotus Break!

Any injury could be instantly healed by Metallic Transformation, with only Spiritual Power being consumed. What Martial Arts Technique could compare to such healing ability? Moreover, the strong defense and destructive power after Metallic Transformation were equally astonishing.

The key point was, the higher the Realm, the greater the power of the Bloodline Power! And with the Black Sword’s influence still enhancing the quality of his Bloodline Power, this was even more against the heavens.

"Let’s test it out!" Zhou Heng took out the Spirit Crystal Pillar and placed his hand on it, suppressing the surge of the Black Sword.

Immediately, the Spirit Crystal Pillar responded, the bottom part flashing a dazzling Golden Light, reaching the level that Jing Tian had tested before, followed by a light purple glow of the same brightness.

After that, a blue light flashed, and a thin mist of water formed around, with the third segment of the Spirit Crystal Pillar suddenly lighting up. It was not very bright, but the key point was, the third segment represented the Heavenly Spirit Body!

Although I haven’t achieved the perfect Ten-Star Heavenly Spirit Body, possibly only Three or Four Stars, I’ve definitely outshone Jing Tian’s Ten-Star Earth Spirit Body!

It’s worthy of a Divine Dragon, to reach a Heavenly Spirit Body with just one pill!

This really is a huge gain!

Bloodline Power, eh? In the entirety of Cold Blue Country, there are only about ten thousand, and currently, there are only two who have achieved Earth Spirit Body! Heavenly Spirit Body? If placed in the Bright Moon Dynasty, no, in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, I would be frantically sought after!

Moreover, the Black Sword can enhance Bloodline Power. Although the speed is very slow on a regular basis, as long as I make a breakthrough in the realm, I will welcome a leap, and achieving a Ten-Star Heavenly Spirit Body is possible!

I wonder how much longer An Yumei and the others will need to refine the Yellow Dragon Pill. Thinking about it, they don’t have the Black Sword, so suppressing the Divine Dragon should take a very long time. However, although it will take a longer time, they could also comprehend the Dragon Might through this process, of course, it’s not guaranteed to succeed.

Zhou Heng left the Nine Mystic Trial Tower and continued searching in the Mystical Pill Pavilion. Although he knew that treasures like the Yellow Dragon Pill were hard to come by, he really couldn’t stop searching until he’d checked thoroughly.

Sure enough, there were still some precious pills, it’s just that the restriction’s power was still too strong. He tried to break it, the consequence was an additional bloody hole in his chest. If he hadn’t dodged into the Nine Mystic Trial Tower in time, his entire chest would have been blown off!

He circulated the recently gained Azure Dragon Bloodline, with streams of water flowing, the wound healed instantly—most Bloodline Powers have self-healing effects, and the Azure Dragon Bloodline, whether because of a higher rank or the suitability of the Water Attribute for healing, not only healed quickly but also consumed less Spiritual Power.

A hole can be healed with Bloodline Power, but if the entire chest had been blown off, that would have definitely been the end, beyond saving.

Zhou Heng, despite his reluctance, could only give up helplessly. There were many others who left in disappointment like him; the feeling of having such treasures within reach yet unattainable is truly awful!

Three days later, Zhou Heng had swept through the entire third floor of the Mystical Pill Pavilion and obtained a vial of Black Jade Powder. This was a life-saving Spiritual Medicine, capable of keeping one alive even with just a breath left. He gladly pocketed it.

In the meantime, he also encountered numerous Martial Artists at the Initial Separation Realm who invited him to join their Sects, offering great benefits. Although Zhou Heng’s Bloodline Power was not as shockingly strong as Jing Tian’s, he was also a rare talent, and many Sects were interested in him.

Zhou Heng declined all the offers. Some left with a smile, while others harbored discontent, not daring to make a move only because of An Luochen’s presence, which luckily saved their lives.

On the fourth day, Black Donkey was the first to digest the medicinal effect, followed by Gu Zi and An Yumei, and lastly, Lin Fuxiang.

"Stingy, I have Bloodline Power now!" Lin Fuxiang threw herself into Zhou Heng’s arms as soon as she came out, excitedly overjoyed. Logically, Bloodline Power could only be inherited through ancestral blood, so this unexpected joy was enough to make her ecstatic.

"Don’t be touchy-feely!" An Yumei forcefully pulled her down. This was her man.

Lin Fuxiang was in a good mood and didn’t argue with her. Instead, she said, "Let’s see what level our Bloodline Power has reached?"

Zhou Heng took the Spirit Crystal Pillar, and aside from Black Donkey, the three women tested one by one.

Heavenly Spirit Body, Heavenly Spirit Body, Heavenly Spirit Body!

Three more Heavenly Spirit Bodies appeared all at once, simply incredible!

In terms of quality, the three women’s Azure Dragon Bloodlines were all between Three and Four Stars. Just by revealing their powers, they would certainly receive any Sect’s invitation, cultivating them with all resources no matter the cost.

If an Earth Spirit Body could confidently break into the Open Heaven Realm, then a Heavenly Spirit Body could at least reach the Spirit Sea Realm! Of course, the path on the Martial Path is not unblocked simply by having Bloodline Power; personal effort also matters, as Bloodline Power only makes the obstacles along the way fewer.

Not to mention Lin Fuxiang and An Yumei were both exceptionally joyous, even Gu Zi showed a hint of excitement. Bloodline Power can’t immediately boost Cultivation Level; its benefits are shown gradually over time.

"Now if I meet that arrogant Jing Tian again, this lady will pat his head and say, ’Little brother, you’re too weak!’" Lin Fuxiang boasted proudly; she and Jing Tian had grown up together in the Nine Spirit Sect, and she had known him even longer than she had known Zhou Heng.

"Let’s test the power of this Azure Dragon Bloodline!"

The best subjects for such a test were, of course, the guardians within the Nine Mystic Trial Tower. Lin Fuxiang and the other two women each went to challenge them, not only to test their Bloodline Power but also to receive rewards for victory!

Meanwhile, Black Donkey was eyeing the back of Zhou Heng’s head with a mischievous gleam, raising a front hoof high.

"Donkey, don’t blame me for not warning you, if you dare to sneak attack, I won’t go easy on you!" Zhou Heng spoke without even turning his head, knowing the scheming donkey surely coveted the Nine Mystic Trial Tower.

"Hehe!" The Black Donkey chuckled and withdrew its hoof, "Let’s make a deal. Zhou, you give this treasure to this noble one, and I will grant you a greater fortune!"

"Keep that fortune for yourself!"

"Everything is negotiable... How about I let you have the Saintess of the East Spirit Immortal Pond? I was originally planning to take her as a handmaiden!"

"Better keep it for yourself!"

"Stupid kid!"

"Shameless donkey!"(To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
