Su Yin took a deep breath and looked at the aura floating in front of him.
If it had been any other cultivator, as long as they were not a Saint, they would not have been able to gather the Qi of Saint Spirit. However, Zhang Xuan was different. He had learned how to farm, and he had come into contact with spirit gatherers back in the Dry Origin World. In an instant, he began gathering the Qi of Saint Spirit around his body.
It did not take long for the Qi of Saint Spirit to converge into a thin thread as thick as a finger. It was identical to the unique Qi of Saint Spirit in the Taiji Diagram, but it was even thicker.
Seeing that his guess was correct, Su Yin could not be bothered with his excitement anymore. He controlled the Qi of Saint Spirit to spread it toward the empty spots on the Taiji Diagram.
Since the other Saints were able to absorb the energy from Song Yu's physical body, they should be able to fill up the empty spots of the other occupations as well.
Weng!
With a light buzz, the empty spots shone with a dazzling light. The stars that represented the occupations were successfully lit up.
"This is great!"
Su Yin took out the jade bottle and absorbed the blood essence that he had gathered from the Saint corpse into his body.
He did the same thing again.
It did not take long for him to obtain a few more strands of Qi of Saint Spirit.
Before coming to the Celestial World, Zhang Xuan had purposely displayed his Sainthood in front of many people. The thirty-six segments on the Taiji Diagram were only a few short of being filled up. At this moment, several strands of Qi of Saint Spirit were infused into the Taiji Diagram, and the stars immediately shone brightly.
At this point, all thirty-six segments of the Taiji Diagram were lit up.
Knowing that this would not be of much help to his cultivation, Su Yin continued to absorb the blood essence to create the Qi of Saint Spirit. It did not take long for him to create another eleven strands of Qi of Saint Spirit. At this point, the blood essence that he had extracted from Song Yu's physical body had been completely depleted.
He controlled the eleven strands of Qi of Saint Spirit and connected them to the center of the Taiji Diagram.
Boom!
The Qi of Saint Spirit, the Qi of Mentor, and the Qi of Emotion immediately connected perfectly. Su Yin immediately felt his dantian shaking violently. Countless strands of Qi of Saint Spirit immediately gushed into his body.
It was exactly the same as when he had fused the spiritual energy together with Zhang Xuan.
Hualala!
As the Qi of Saint Spirit surged into his body, his cultivation of Golden Immortal 1-dan rose at a visible rate.
Golden Immortal 2-dan!
Golden Immortal 3-dan …
…
In less than three breaths, he had already reached Golden Immortal 9-dan!
He did not stop and soon broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm.
Su Yin had the qualifications to become a Sage. It was only because he had never cultivated before that his strength was insufficient. But now, with the support of the immortal qi, his strength was constantly surging. The speed at which he improved was even more terrifying than Head Empowerment!
In the end, he stopped at the first-tier of the Dao Integration Stage.
Eleven wisps of Holy Spirit Qi had allowed him to make a breakthrough from Golden Immortal Realm first-stage to Dao Integration Stage first-stage. Even if he were to experience it himself, he would still find it hard to believe.
Of course, if he were to use this blood essence to display his strength, it would be enough to allow him to display the combat prowess of a peak Sub-Immortal 11 times. In this way, his loss would be boundless.
However, this was his own strength, and no one could take it away from him.
Just as he was about to get some more blood essence, he realized that there was not a single drop left.
His Casanova teacher's body had been cut into more than three thousand pieces. Being able to gather more than ten drops of blood was already his limit.
"Forget it. With this kind of strength, I should be able to cross the Dragon Gate. As for the rest, I'll talk about it later!"
Without the blood essence, he could still improve by absorbing the Holy Spirit Qi in the body. However, if he took out the corpse, it would easily cause unnecessary trouble. It was better to wait for an opportunity.
Dao Integration Stage first-stage was not too strong for him now, but at least it was enough to deal with the current situation.
From the time he smashed the blood essence to improve his cultivation until now, it sounded complicated, but in fact, only a few breaths had passed. His Immortal Core Power had skyrocketed, and his essence, energy, and spirit were completely different. The pressure from the Dragon Gate was no longer a problem.
As he advanced, he absorbed the dragon qi to temper his body.
An hour later, he arrived at the bottom of the Dragon Gate.
With a light leap, he jumped over.
"Without the Dragon Race bloodline, it's really useless …"
He shook his head helplessly.
He had taken a closer look just now. Apart from the pressure and the dragon qi that could temper the body, the most important effect of the Dragon Race bloodline was to purify it.
If a wyrm jumped over, there was a high chance of transforming into a True Dragon. Just like the transformation from a Pseudo Immortal to a True Immortal, there would be a huge change in the level of life.
He had nothing to do with the Dragon Race, so he naturally could not feel it.
"Hmm?"
Just as Zhang Xuan was in the midst of sighing, he suddenly noticed that the True Dragon Sword that he had forged in the Dry Origin World was undergoing a transformation. It had transformed into an immortal artifact, and it was making whimpering noises as it flew about in the air.
This sword was forged using the skeleton of a wyrm, and it was extremely powerful when paired with his forging skills. However, due to the lack of Immortal Energy in the Dry Origin World, it was unable to evolve. Who would have thought that its strength would increase exponentially after leaping over the Dragon Gate?
It was still nothing to a Half-Sage, but it was still a significant improvement.
Nodding in satisfaction, Zhang Xuan flew forward.
Upon reaching the Dao Integration realm, one would be able to fly freely even without the help of a Sage corpse.
"Not bad!"
At the end of the staircase, the Phoenix Monarch, Phoenix Empress, and the others were floating in the air. They nodded upon seeing that Zhang Xuan had successfully passed through the Dragon Gate.
Given their standing, the Dragon Monarch would not fall out with them if they really wanted to bring someone into the Dragon Domain. The reason why they allowed Zhang Xuan to walk in normally was to see how much potential he had.
The results were not bad.
"Let's go!"
The three of them and the tortoise rose into the air.
The Phoenix Monarch sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan. "Did you learn anything?"
Su Yin pondered for a moment before asking, "Could it be that the Dragon Gate is forged from the skeleton of a dragon?"
The advancement in his cultivation did not prevent him from examining the Dragon Gate closely. The structure of the Dragon Gate seemed to be made of stone, jade, and metal. However, Su Yin had come into contact with the skeletons of the Pill Sage, Casanova, and Zither Sage, and they were very similar to the Dragon Gate.
"It's the skeleton of the Ancestral Dragon!" The Phoenix Monarch nodded.
"The Ancestral Dragon?" Su Yin was astonished.
"It's said that the Ancestral Dragon was the first dragon to appear in the Celestial World. The Dragon Race of the later generations were all descendants of it. After its death, it transformed into the Dragon Gate … As long as one leaps over the Dragon Gate, one's bloodline will be purified," the Phoenix Monarch explained.
"You are a human, but the fact that you were able to pass through the Dragon Gate means that you have received the acknowledgement of the Ancestral Dragon's will. Only then will you be able to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool!"
"Can non-dragons enter the Dragon Transformation Pool as well?" Su Yin asked curiously.
Since it could temper one's physical body, it must be a supreme treasure of the Dragon Race. Could outsiders use it as well?
"The Dragon Race is lustful, and they have many descendants. The Dragon Transformation Pool is similar to the Dragon Gate. It can cleanse the influence of other bloodlines and purify the Dragon Blood. As long as you have even a drop of Dragon Blood in your body, you are qualified to enter."
The Phoenix Monarch flicked her finger, and a drop of blood immediately entered Su Yin's glabella. "I obtained this drop of Dragon Blood during my battle with the Dragon Emperor. Secretly store it in your body. When the time comes, find a way to activate it."
"Thank you!" Su Yin's eyes lit up.
Even though he had never met the Dragon Emperor before, he knew that the Phoenix Monarch had a hard time defeating the Dragon Emperor. The Dragon Emperor was probably much stronger than ordinary Sages. Even if the blood of such an expert was ordinary blood, it was still a priceless treasure.
Seeing this scene, Xuan Jia was perplexed. However, it did not say anything.
It knew that the Phoenix Monarch wouldn't dare to do this in front of it. Thus, it focused its attention and looked at the drop of blood on its glabella.
"Give it to me!"
Before Xuan Jia could examine it, a voice sounded in his head. Raising his head, he saw that it was the Fragmented Will who had imparted culinary arts to him, Yi Ya.
He was also known as the Sage Chef!
Seeing through Zhang Xuan's doubts, Yi Ya chuckled. "This drop of blood will only allow you to simulate the Dragon Qi. However, with a little modification, it'll be different …"
After saying those words, Yi Ya waved his hand, and the drop of blood immediately flew into his palm.
A ball of dark flame bubbled on his fingertip. The drop of blood churned for a moment before turning into gas.
"This is the Qi of Saint Spirit?" Su Yin was taken aback.
"It's not the Qi of Saint Spirit but the power of bloodline. I've purified it. Your Innate Body of Dao is able to fuse with the power of Saint Spirit, so naturally, you'll be able to fuse with the power of bloodline as well. However, just like the other occupations, it'll only allow you to raise your cultivation to that of a Half-Saint for a short period of time. "
Yi Ya explained.
Su Yin's eyes lit up in excitement.
Previously, he was still thinking that his fighting prowess would be greatly reduced if he couldn't use Song Yu's laws. However, with the power of bloodline, things would be different.
Once he activated it, he would be able to emanate the Dragon Qi just like the experts of the Dragon Tribe.
"Un!" Yi Ya nodded before flicking his finger.
Su Yin discreetly placed the Qi of Saint Spirit in his dantian and concealed it.
The sky above the Dragon Domain was not peaceful either. From time to time, a unique gale would blow by, and it harbored hostility toward those who weren't of the Dragon Tribe. If one were to barge in from somewhere else, one could very well be blown away and reduced to dust.
Hu!
The group stopped in front of a massive hall on the Dragon Head Mountain. The massive Black Tortoise swayed slightly before morphing into a square-faced middle-aged man with a muscular build.
"Phoenix Monarch, Phoenix Empress, Black Tortoise Monarch, please come in!"
Outside the palace, an elder-looking person saw them and immediately came to welcome them.
"Un!"
Phoenix Monarch replied. Ignoring the other party, he walked into the hall with widened strides. As soon as he entered, a nonchalant voice sounded, "Dragon Emperor, why did you call us here in such a hurry?"
"Brother Phoenix, it has been many years since we last met, but it seems like your temper hasn't changed at all!"
Following which, a loud explosion sounded.
Su Yin raised his head and saw that the one who had spoken was also a middle-aged man. He had a tall stature and an imposing aura around him. This was especially so for his eyes. Those who stared into his eyes would feel an immense pressure, such that one would not dare to look him in the eye.
"It has been more than ten thousand years already. It can't be changed!" Phoenix Monarch said. "Speak. If there's nothing else, we'll be taking our leave now …"
"Brother Phoenix, there's no need to rush!" Instead of getting angry, Dragon Emperor turned to Su Yin and asked, "May I know who this young man is?"
"He's the son of my old friend. I brought him here to broaden his horizons … If you think it's inconvenient, I'll let him walk around outside. Your Dragon Field won't stop him from walking around, right?" Phoenix Monarch said.
"The Dragon Domain has always been hospitable, so how could we possibly stop him from walking around? Elder Ao Qing, why don't you bring this young friend out to take a look?"
"Yes!" The elder who had led the way earlier walked up to Su Yin and said, "This way, please!"
"Thank you!" Su Yin knew that Phoenix Monarch Ao Qing was trying to create an opportunity for him to find Yidun's saint remains, so he quickly followed the elder out.
After they left, the room fell silent once more.
"Alright, speak your mind!" Phoenix Monarch Ao Qing said.
"I haven't seen Brother Phoenix in all these years, but based on what I know, you don't have many friends. May I know who that young man is?"
Phoenix Monarch Ao Qing frowned. "Do I need to inform you in advance just to make a friend?"
Dragon Emperor Ao Qing shook his head. "That's not it. I'm just curious."
Phoenix Monarch Ao Qing harrumphed. "What's there to be curious about? It can't be that the great Dragon Emperor is afraid of a young man in his teens after so many years, right?"
Hearing those words, Dragon Emperor Ao Qing shook his head and decided not to dwell on the matter. "The reason I called Brother Phoenix and Brother Xuan Jia over is because I have something that I would like to seek your opinions on!"
Phoenix Monarch Ao Qing and Xuan Jia glanced at one another before waving their hands, "Please speak!"
Dragon Emperor Ao Qing said, "As the number of Sages in the human race increases, the situation that our beast race is facing is getting worse. I believe that I don't need to elaborate on it!"
Phoenix Monarch Ao Qing and the others nodded.
Back in the Ancient Era, the beast race had dominated the world, and no one dared to offend them. Compared to them, the humans were simply too weak. The humans could only feel envy and respect for them. It was for this reason that many of the rulers of the world would claim to be the successor of the Dragon Emperor in order to strengthen their standing.
But now …
With the emergence of the Sages and the establishment of Sacred Grounds one after another, the human race grew stronger and stronger, and the beast race was no longer as lofty as before.
In fact, they even had to be careful, lest they be captured and tamed as pets.
The Dragon Emperor continued, "The resources of the Celestial World are limited. The stronger the humans become, the weaker we become. Over the years, the Three Divine Beast Races have declined greatly. This is especially so for the Qilin Tribe. Not only has their heritage been severed, but the Qilin Mountain has also been taken over by the humans … Just thinking about it makes me feel sad."
Even though the human race's bloodline and talent were inferior to that of the Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix Monarch, they were still blessed by the heavens. In the past, the Divine Beasts, Demonic Beasts, Giant Demons, and the like ruled the Celestial World. However, after the Giant Demons were chased away, the Divine Beasts could only hide in their own territories and struggle to survive.
They were indeed getting weaker and weaker.
"What do you want to say? Just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush!"
The Phoenix Monarch said after a moment of silence.
"Since Brother Phoenix is so straightforward, I'll get straight to the point …"
The Dragon Emperor said with a glint in his eyes. "You should have heard the news that the thirty-six Ancient Sages who died ten thousand years ago are about to return, right?"
The Phoenix Monarch's body jolted in shock, but he did not allow it to show on his face. "Return? Didn't they perish in both body and soul? How could they possibly return? "
The Dragon Emperor stared at the Phoenix Monarch intently as he chuckled softly. "Brother Phoenix, you were so close to Song Yu that you even planned to marry your daughter to him … How could you possibly not know? If I'm not mistaken, the young man you saw earlier is probably related to them, right? "
The Phoenix Monarch's hair stood on end as he narrowed his eyes.
