"Blood Reservoir?"
Zhang Jiuxiao's body jolted in shock as he replied awkwardly, "Only the core members of the Zhang Clan are allowed to enter the Blood Reservoir. My bloodline is too weak, so I'm not qualified to enter …"
The Zhang Clan's Blood Reservoir was a place of utmost importance. Only those who had reached a certain level of bloodline would be allowed to enter the Blood Reservoir to cultivate it.
"I'll bring you in," Zhang Xuan said calmly.
It would be impossible for him to raise his cultivation from Saint 5-dan Leaving Aperture realm to a level comparable to Zhang Chun in a single night. After all, he didn't have the Library of Heaven's Path, so he couldn't cultivate the simplified version of the Heaven's Path Divine Art.
As such, this was the only path he could take.
Only by using the Zhang Clan's Blood Reservoir would he be able to increase the flow of time by twelve times in a single night would he be able to succeed!
"Bring me in?"
Zhang Jiuxiao was taken aback. "Isn't the Blood Reservoir off-limits?"
If anyone could enter the Zhang Clan's Blood Reservoir, it would have long been a huge mess.
But his teacher was just an outsider … so how could he possibly enter the Blood Reservoir so easily and bring him in?
"I wouldn't have been able to enter the Blood Reservoir in the past, but … there shouldn't be any problem now!"
Zhang Xuan harrumphed.
Previously, when Zhang Wuchen had brought him in, he had taken a close look at the sealing formation around the Blood Reservoir. As profound as it was, it was filled with flaws before the Library of Heaven's Path. With just a single tap, he would be able to sneak in without being detected.
"Let's go!"
Without explaining too much, Zhang Xuan led the way.
Not too long later, they arrived before the Blood Reservoir.
"This is the place!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan circled around the entrance of the Blood Reservoir, found a spot, and tapped lightly on it.
Weng!
With a slight buzz, the formation guarding the entrance of the Blood Reservoir slowly opened, revealing a small gap.
"Hurry in!"
Zhang Jiuxiao hurriedly walked in, and he quickly followed suit.
The formation closed once more, and the entrance closed. It was impossible to notice anything amiss from the outside, as if no one had entered at all.
"This is the Blood Reservoir?"
Upon entering the Blood Reservoir, Zhang Jiuxiao immediately felt his muscles and Primordial Spirit pulsing in excitement.
"That's right. Try activating your bloodline to see if you can resonate with it."
Zhang Xuan said.
"Alright!"
Zhang Jiuxiao nodded as he sat down on the ground. He activated his bloodline and attempted to connect with the drifting Time Quintessence.
However, it didn't take long before he stood up again with an unsightly expression.
At this moment, he finally understood why side family members like him weren't allowed to enter the Blood Reservoir. It wasn't that the clan was being stingy or discriminating against them, but … even if they were to enter the Blood Reservoir, they wouldn't be able to comprehend the Quintessence of Sword Quintessence and cultivate like the core disciples.
If he couldn't do it, then there was no need to waste his effort.
"Teacher …"
Zhang Jiuxiao felt guilty.
His teacher had specially brought him here, but due to his own problems, he was unable to complete the mission. It was truly hard for him to accept.
"Don't worry …"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was unable to comprehend it, Zhang Xuan frowned. "You should continue cultivating. I'll think of a solution."
"Yes!"
Without saying anything else, Zhang Jiuxiao sat down and crossed his legs.
Activating his Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan swiftly scanned his surroundings.
The rainbow-like aura in the sky lingered around Zhang Xuan, but it was as if oil and water were incompatible with one another. No matter how Zhang Xuan activated his bloodline, he was unable to do anything about it.
"His bloodline is indeed too low …"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
The Time Quintessence was left behind by the ancestors of the Zhang family as a gift to their descendants. Even though Zhang Jiuxiao possessed the Zhang family's bloodline, he was still unable to utilize the clan's secret art. The most he could do was allow the rainbow-like aura to approach him, but it was impossible for him to assimilate it.
This was similar to taming a beast. Zhang Xuan could only gain its goodwill, but he was still far from being able to tame it.
A single step would bring him to the edge of the world.
"If only his bloodline could be a little purer …"
Zhang Xuan remarked.
All of a sudden, the Library of Heaven's Path jolted, and the golden book that he had formed a moment ago suddenly flew right toward Zhang Jiuxiao.
"This is bad …"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
The Book of Heaven's Path was something that even Nine Stars poison masters would be reduced to mincemeat with ease. Given Zhang Jiuxiao's current strength, it was impossible for him to withstand it!
He didn't intend to kill anyone, so why did it suddenly appear?
However, it was already too late. In the blink of an eye, the golden book had already reached Zhang Jiuxiao's glabella. However, it didn't result in a bloodied mess. Instead, it dived right in.
Following which, the surrounding Sword Quintessences swiftly surged toward the young man seated on the ground, and it was as if they had come to a boil.
"This is … the enhancement of my bloodline?"
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in shock.
It was just a moment ago that he desperately wanted to enhance Zhang Jiuxiao's bloodline, so the Book of Heaven's Path flew out. Could it be that other than increasing his Soul Depth, memorizing all kinds of knowledge, sealing Vicious, and even slapping them to death … it could also enhance the bloodline of others?
If that was really the case, that would be truly frightening!
He had studied bloodlines many times, but even with the help of the Library of Heaven's Path, he was still unable to purify them. Who could have thought that the Book of Heaven's Path would actually possess such an ability?
"Teacher … My bloodline …"
Sensing the changes in his body, Zhang Jiuxiao trembled in agitation, unable to comprehend what was going on.
"I'm the one who has enhanced your bloodline. Here are some pinnacle spirit stones. Hurry up and raise your cultivation!"
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan tossed out the remaining three pinnacle spirit stones he had.
Even as a direct disciple, he couldn't reveal too much about the Book of Heaven's Path. Thus, he could only say that it had enhanced Zhang Jiuxiao's bloodline.
"Yes!"
Even though Zhang Jiuxiao had no idea how his teacher had done it, he knew that this wasn't the time to be asking questions. He quickly closed his eyes, grabbed one of the pinnacle spirit stones, and drove his zhenqi furiously to absorb the energy within it.
Hong long long!
With the enhancement of his bloodline, the rate at which he absorbed spiritual energy was many times faster than before. The meridians that he had been unable to open previously were also flowing smoothly, as if there were no longer any bottlenecks in his cultivation.
Kacha! Kacha!
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Jiuxiao's cultivation broke through the bottleneck of Leaving Aperture realm and reached Grand Dominion realm.
Zhang Xuan knew that this was because Zhang Jiuxiao didn't have the cultivation technique manual, so he imparted the simplified version of the Grand Dominion realm cultivation technique to Zhang Jiuxiao.
With the Pure Bloodline, Zhang Jiuxiao was able to channel the surrounding Time Quintessence into his body, allowing his Primordial Spirit to enter a state where the flow of time was one-twelfth slower.
After an unknown period of time, Zhang Xuan's Primordial Spirit also carefully analyzed the cultivation technique and knew how to cultivate it.
Zhang Xuan paused for a moment before imparting the simplified version of the Saint 7-dan Phantasmal Space realm cultivation technique to Zhang Xuan.
While this cultivation technique hadn't reached the level of Heaven's Path Divine Art yet, it did have a single flaw. While it was hard for Zhang Xuan to swallow it, to the young man before him, it was definitely an exquisite secret manual.
However, since he had yet to reach the level of Heaven's Path, it was still not as easy to comprehend as the simplified cultivation technique.
