Chapter 3 - Awakening Bloodline

In the world of cultivation, individuals possessed both physiques and bloodlines, categorized into unique and common types. The rare and highly sought-after unique bloodlines consisted of the Azure Emperor (Qinglong), White Tiger Essence (Baihuxi), Vermilion Bird Origin (Zhuquezi), Mystic Turtle Realm (Xuanwujing), Dragon King's Will (Longwangzhi), Phoenix Jade (Fenghuangyu), River Dragon Spirit (Jianglongling), Winged Dragon's Might (Yinglongshi), Turtle Shell Energy (Bixiqi), and Stellarhorn (Qilinyuan). In contrast, common bloodlines included Thunderbolt (Leidian), Wind Jade (Fengyu), Fire Energy (Huoqi), Mountain Spirit (Shanling), River Energy (Heqi), Lunarflux (Yueli), Moonshadow (Yueying), Golden Bell (Jinzhong), Wood Essence (Muxi), Water Crystal (Shuijing), and Earth Origin (Tuzhi).

"There existed only five extraordinary physiques, renowned throughout the heavens. These included the Heavenly Thunder Physique, Celestial Yin Yang Physique, Icy Jade Physique, and Tyrant Battle Physique. These rare and exceptional bodily constitutions held the key to unlocking unimaginable power and potential.But how can everything have benefits without deficits. "

In Jade Essence river

Wei Ying focused on accumulating qi in his dantian, his progress slow but steady. The poison lingering in his spiritual vein hindered his pace, making him lag behind his peers. Yet, as he sat by the river, surrounded by its abundant qi, a spark of inspiration struck him. "What if I try to channel qi through the poison and force it out?" he wondered. Although his understanding of the qi path was limited, his past life experiences allowed him to make some educated deductions. With newfound determination, Wei Ying began to experiment, attempting to harness the river's qi to purge the poison from his spiritual vein.

"I succeeded," Wei Ying exclaimed, relieved that he had finally managed to remove the poison from his spiritual veins. However, his triumph was short-lived, as his attention turned to his dantian. A small, ominous black spot had appeared, marring the otherwise pure qi within. Wei Ying's eyes narrowed in concern. "It seems that although I cleansed my spiritual veins of the poison, some of the residual poison qi was forced into my dantian instead." He knew that eliminating the poison entirely was impossible, at least for now. "I can only suppress it," he muttered to himself.

With a calculated precision, Wei Ying began to weave intricate patterns with his fingers. As he did so, a gentle stream of qi flowed from his fingertips, carefully covering the black spot. The poison qi seethed and pulsed, but Wei Ying's controlled breaths and precise movements slowly suppressed it, forcing it into a state of dormancy.

After a while

After a while, Wei Ying let out a sigh of relief. "I've finally suppressed it. Based on my calculations, it'll take at least three years for the poison to start corroding my dantian again." His expression turned grim as he recalled the recipe he had used to refine the pill. "That formula had a catastrophic flaw - it corrodes spiritual veins. And to make matters worse, it's the notorious Black Mist Poison. If it affects one's spiritual roots, the only way to eradicate it is to destroy the roots themselves... but that would mean sacrificing all my cultivation and reverting to a normal human."

Wei Ying's frown deepened as he contemplated the dire consequences. "To resolve this, my dantian must be destroyed. If the poison corrodes it completely and my dantian ruptures... I might die.''

Wei Ying pushed aside his concerns for the moment, focusing on his immediate goal: awakening his bloodline. "In this life, I'll use the Reverse Qi Absorbent Technique to forcefully awaken my bloodline," he determined.

With unwavering concentration, Wei Ying initiated the technique. The flow of qi within his body began to reverse, coursing through his meridians in an unnatural direction. This painful method threatened to overwhelm him, and Wei Ying felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

His vision blurred, and his head spun, but Wei Ying gritted his teeth, refusing to yield. He poured all his willpower into the technique, compelling the reversed qi to stimulate his dormant bloodline.

A surge of energy burst forth from Wei Ying's body. He gazed at his aura, now tinged with a greyish hue. A triumphant smile spread across his face as he realized he had successfully awakened the moonshadow bloodline.

In his past life, Wei Ying had been unable to awaken his bloodline, no matter how hard he tried. But now, through the advantage of rebirth, he had achieved what was previously impossible.Only after 50 years did he obtained the method to awaken his bloodline.

"The benefits of rebirth are truly unimaginable," Wei Ying muttered to himself, his eyes shining with excitement but he was still calm.

Seven hours had passed, and twenty cultivators had already emerged from the trial. However, not a single one had successfully awakened a bloodline, sparking a mix of disappointment and concern among the elders.

Wei Ying emerged from the river, his figure dripping with water yet he wasnt wet. The four elders were taken aback, surprised that someone had already exited the river. Their eyes widened in astonishment as they took in Wei Ying's appearance.he had black eyes which were calm as a tranquil sea. He was wearing black and white robes. His long black hair extended to his shoulders

"It can't be..." one of the elders trailed off, stunned. "Wei Ying, how is this possible?"

The elders exchanged skeptical glances before their faces lit up with excitement. "It's unlikely that he would have awakened a common bloodline," one of them said, eyes shining with anticipation. "Wei Ying must have awakened a rare and extraordinary bloodline!"

Wei Ying cupped his fists and greeted the elders. As he did, a pale greyish aura emerged from him.

Wu clan elder Wu Xingshi was shocked the disciple he had placed his hopes on only had a common bloodline but he quickly regained his composure that its normal as he remembered patriach Zhou fan words

Wu Xingshi only muttered one word''good''

Elder Liu Chenyue of the Liu Clan sneered at Wu Xingshi, his voice dripping with disdain. "It seems that all this time, you've been wasting your efforts on a useless disciple, Wu Xingshi."

Wu Xingshi's calm expression remained unchanged as he replied, "Why should I panic over such a trivial matter? So what if he doesn't possess a rare bloodline? History has shown us that there's no such thing as the strongest bloodline or physique, only the strongest cultivator. Besides, I have other disciples who show great promise."

Liu Chenyue's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at Wu Xingshi, his voice laced with a hint of mockery. "Good, good..."

Suddenly, two magnificent dragons materialized above the Jade Essence River, their ethereal forms undulating as they hovered in the air. The dragons' appearance was synchronized with a subtle disturbance in the river's energies, precisely where Zhang Mei was cultivating.

The sudden appearance of the dragons sent shockwaves throughout the gathering, with all the elders stunned into silence. However, Zhang Clan's Elder was over the moon with joy, his face beaming with pride.

Above the Jade Essence River, a spectacular sight unfolded. Two dragons emerged from the disturbed energies - one crafted from crystal-clear water, the other forged from blazing flames. The assembly watched in awe as the two dragons merged into a single, magnificent creature, its body a mesmerizing fusion of water and fire.

Bai Clan's Elder, Bai Yizhen, gulped audibly as he whispered in reverence, "Celestial... Yin-Yang Physique." His voice trembled with a mix of awe and trepidation, as if he couldn't believe what he was witnessing.

Zhang Huan of the Zhang Clan gazed confidently at the other clan elders, a hint of pride in his voice. "My disciple has already surpassed all of yours, regardless of whether they possess a rare bloodline. What's more, my disciple can cultivate two paths simultaneously, harmonizing the opposing elements of water and fire without any conflict. This is a feat that none of your disciples can match."''

Bai Yizhen:'' ... ''

As the gathering waited with bated breath, Zhang Mei of the Zhang Clan emerged from her cultivation. With a gentle smile, she released her aura, and the air around her began to ripple. The elders watched in stunned silence as an majestic Azure Dragon materialized beside her, its body radiating the dual energies of water and fire.

The assembly was left speechless, their minds reeling in awe. "What extraordinary talent is this?" they thought, their eyes wide with wonder. "A Celestial Yin-Yang Physique, combined with the esteemed Qinglong Bloodline... this young one's potential is boundless!"

Wei Ying's eyes clouded over as memories from his past life flooded his mind. He recalled Zhang Mei, a talented cultivator who had been destined for greatness. Tragically, she had perished while attempting to overcome the tribulation, a crucial trial that would have elevated her to the Immortal Realm.

As the gathering continued, Bai Zhu of the Bai Clan emerged, greeting the elders with respect. As he released his aura, a turtle-like creature materialized beside him, its shell adorned with intricate patterns that shimmered with ancient wisdom.

Bai Yizhen's eyes lit up with delight. "Excellent! You have awakened the Turtle Shell Energy bloodline!"

As the other disciples from the respective clans underwent their awakenings, a mix of rare and common bloodlines emerged. However, the disciples of the Liu Clan proved to be exceptionally gifted, with most of them awakening rare bloodlines that sparked envy and admiration from the other clans.
