"Qiankun Zus is not a heartless person. We did help him back then, so this favor still remains." Emperor Jiang replied charmingly, evidently expressing the characteristics of his wife’s part.
"All beings suffer, and the Imperial Tutor saves the people from calamity, his merit is infinite, he must be a great benefactor known through the ages." Lie Hu said in a deep voice, still with a bitter face.
"I think you’re impatient to find someone to fight, aren’t you? What about Fan Heng?" Emperor Jiang asked in surprise.
"He said he’s old and doesn’t want to move. His pursuit is not this. However, if transforming into the Bloodline could solve the problem of lost memories, that’s not bad either. He’s planning to watch us first." Lie Hu answered.
"This old guy..." Meng Qian was speechless.
The three paused together and looked at the cave entrance filled with blood-colored mist in front of them.
Led by Meng Qian, the three stepped inside together.
Entering the cave, inside the blood-colored tunnel, the walls were covered with gently swaying small pink flowers.
The flowers and plants were all red, faintly emitting a sweet fragrance.
It seemed entirely different from the scene they had heard of.
No one greeted them, and there was no pomp. It was just a simple, prolonged passage.
At the end of the passage, after a long absence, the three met Qiankun Zus, the Blood Immortal Dao Lord, in seclusion once again.
Between two large blood pools, blood-colored fluorescence illuminated, and clusters of pink flowers swayed lightly in the wind.
Fragrance overflowed, red mist lingered, and amidst this, several copper-colored pill furnaces stood tall, truly presenting a scene of the immortal sect of Daoism.
Zhang Rongfang was in the middle, wearing a blood-colored robe that was exquisite and luxurious, adorned with numerous copper floral Dao patterns, with a Supreme Lotus Crown, representing the highest of the Great Dao Teaching, on his head.
Evidently, he was still nostalgic, still considering himself as coming from the Daoist sect.
"I have been waiting for all of you here for a long time...." Zhang Rongfang said with a smile, opening his arms in a welcoming gesture.
He was still at least ten meters away from Meng Qian and the others.
Suddenly, a flash of blood-light, and he was already a few meters in front of the three.
Countless blood rose from the ground, weaving into a set of tables and chairs like vines.
"Please." Zhang Rongfang gestured invitingly.
"It seems that the Imperial Tutor already understands our intention." Meng Qian smiled.
"Joining my Blood Immortal Dao and transforming into the Bloodline are not the same. Simply transforming into the Bloodline is actually very easy."
Zhang Rongfang waved a hand, and suddenly three sinister white bone cups appeared on the table.
The bone cups contained crystal clear red liquid that gently rippled, emitting a fragrance.
"Three cups of blood wine, please share a drink."
Actually, he was really looking forward to seeing what changes would occur when figures like Meng Qian, who was the Celestial Lighter and a top-tier Extreme Realm expert, transformed into the Bloodline.
Be aware that the Reverse Time Society established by Meng Qian gathered the strongest, most formidable, and most terrifying batch of lunatics within the Great Spirit.
They refused to submit to the Spiritual Line, thereby elevating their spirits and bodies to a horrifying level.
They had already exhausted all their potential. Essentially, they were the strongest in this interaction zone.
If they transformed into the Bloodline, what would happen?
Intuition told him that perhaps something quite interesting would occur.
Meng Qian and the others looked at the three cups of blood wine on the table.
Everything was understood without words.
Immediately, he was the first to lift the bone cup, toasted Zhang Rongfang ceremoniously.
Gulp.
He threw his head back and drank it all.
The second was Lie Hu. He didn’t even look at what was in the cup, swiftly picked it up, and drank it.
Only Emperor Jiang silently lifted the blood wine, paused on the spot.
"If I drink this cup, will my Jun’Er vanish?"
"I don’t know." Zhang Rongfang shook his head, "It’s all up to your own decisions. I’m merely the creator of this path, just like the first person to break through the sky. What happens later is not determined by me."
He understood what Emperor Jiang was worried about.
"The Bloodline is just a seed; what kind of flowers can bloom depends entirely on how you nurture yourself."
Emperor Jiang stared at the blood wine, ultimately threw his head back slowly, drinking it all.
After the three drank, the first Meng Qian quickly began to show a large number of red blood vessels appearing on his skin.
The Celestial Lighter and ordinary people and gods and Buddhas were different.
His heart started to beat like a war drum, producing a dull thudding sound, seemingly trying to resist Zhang Rongfang’s Ancestral Essence Blood.
But now, Zhang Rongfang’s essential blood’s concentration and active strength were utterly inhuman.
Not something that the Celestial Lighter’s physical system could withstand.
After just a few breaths, Meng Qian’s body gradually calmed down.
The same was true for Lie Hu, except the resistance lasted slightly shorter.
Emperor Jiang, not being a Celestial Lighter, did not have these abnormalities.
Zhang Rongfang moved his thoughts, and suddenly a large blood curtain enveloped the three separately, forming three huge blood cocoons.
He himself also turned and entered the blood pool, quietly beginning to cultivate the Five Heart Qi Collection Skill.
Five Qi Towards Origin, now he was about to condense the last path, the Qi of Compassion.
Once completed, he would truly complete the entire circulatory system of the Five Heart Qi Collection Skill.
Reaching the supreme theoretical realm of Five Qi Towards Origin.
By then, theoretically, his mental state would be flawless, comprehensive, perfect to the extreme, undergoing some special qualitative transformation.
In the Human Immortal Cave, all movements suddenly quieted down.
Time slowly passed.
Approximately half an hour later.
The blood cocoon of Emperor Jiang suddenly trembled and slowly dissolved on its own, revealing the scene inside.
He wasn’t much different from before, except for his eyes, which had turned bloodline red.
"What a marvelous feeling..." Emperor Jiang extended his hand, observing his elongated, sharp nails.
"Jun’Er... I can feel Jun’Er’s presence!" His expression was somewhat strange, appearing both surprised and shocked.
Hiss.
Suddenly, on the right side of his body, a mass of flesh rapidly swelled, forming a humanoid shape.
It was a smaller figure, another body growing from his waist upwards, only having an upper body.
A voluptuous, graceful female body!
"I’m here... I’m here..." A pair of hands grew from the woman’s side, gently embracing Emperor Jiang’s head.
"Jun’Er... my Jun’Er!!" Emperor Jiang closed his eyes, feeling the softness against his face, and suddenly tears of blood trickled from his eyes.
"We will never be apart... never...." The woman’s body had no lower half, or rather, she shared Emperor Jiang’s legs, possessing only an upper body.
Emperor Jiang and Jun’Er, this couple who had never met before, had finally met truly.
However... for some reason, when Zhang Rongfang witnessed this scene, he felt that Emperor Jiang’s tears were filled with sorrow.
He... seemed to understand something.
Rip.
At this moment, the blood cocoon of Lie Hu beside him also dissolved and cracked open at once.
The Lie Hu inside wasn’t much changed, but his eyes turned red, and joint areas on his body had an armor-like bony protective layer.
He appeared as if he was wearing a simple white armor.
Finally, it was Meng Qian’s turn.
Zhang Rongfang directed his expectant gaze towards the last blood cocoon.
The blood cocoon gently quivered, then silently dissolved.
Inside, Meng Qian’s appearance was the same as before, except for a large, straight dark red blade formed from flesh and blood on his back.
"This body... is indeed much stronger than before..." Meng Qian reached out, moving his fingers.
With his Extreme Law mastery over his body, he instantly sensed the vast, undeveloped mysterious power hidden within.
And this power seemed to all originate from the Blood Immortal Dao leader Zhang Rongfang in front of him.
But he had no intention of following this power path.
Even though walking this path would quickly allow him to master and develop various new extraordinary abilities.
But that wasn’t his path.
The essence of the Extreme Realm is to walk the path that best suits oneself, excavating the utmost potential and unleashing the ultimate spirit. Achieving the pinnacle.
"Congratulations to the three of you. There’s an outer matter that requires the participation of many masters. Are the three of you interested?" Zhang Rongfang congratulated with a smile.
The essence blood he gave them was his purest.
It contained not only a part of the Blood Ancestor but also a part of the ultimate biological prototype bloodline.
This was his reward to them and his expectation for them.
As a human Extreme Grandmaster of the Extreme Realm, he hoped to find another path in the Great Spirit martial arts from the three of them.
"These new bodies indeed need activity; our arrival is for the world beyond." Meng Qian clasped his hands, "Please give your orders, Dao Leader."
Now, with a bloodline connection, they were closest blood relatives to Zhang Rongfang.
Compared to the other bloodline, their bloodline was now the closest to Zhang Rongfang.
A strong sense of closeness invisibly pulled the relationship between them and Zhang Rongfang closer.
"Good." Zhang Rongfang didn’t stand on ceremony. "We have many things to do next; perhaps only when all the Extreme Realms in the Snow Rainbow Pavilion reverse time meeting complete their bloodline transformation can we fill this combat power gap."
He laid out his previous arrangements and plans.
Not finishing completely, he expressed the idea of establishing a connection network on the ground.
For a long time, Meng Qian and the others had a secret conversation with him in the cave before leaving, scattering back to the Great Capital and Upper Capital.
Soon, a massive plan called the Blood Network began to rapidly unfold.
Above the Celestial Character Institute of the Blood Immortal Dao, a new rank was established, named Spirit Extreme.
The Spirit Extreme Institute.
And Meng Qian and other Extreme Grandmasters became its members.
Thus, the Great Spirit had completed over ninety-nine percent of the bloodline transformation.
Half a month later.
Among the bloodline members of the Spirit Extreme Institute in the Great Spirit Empire, a total of seven Extreme Grandmasters reached their limits, including original time-reversing members and abruptly appearing reclusive masters pledging allegiance.
Led by Meng Qian, they officially integrated into the Blood Immortal Dao.
The number of bloodline Grandmasters in the Celestial Character Institute also increased to thirty-two.
Below, there were three hundred ninety-seven bloodline masters in the Earth Character Institute and high-ranking Super Grades.
Over five thousand seven hundred Super Grades in the Human Character Institute.
All four parts were composed of the strongest masters carefully selected by the Great Spirit Empire.
Everyone gathered together, gradually preparing to enter the outer celestial road to explore the outer world.
At this time, against the Evil Spirit Vehicle outside the sky screen, only two mid-level Super Grades were needed to resolve them.
After becoming familiar with their attack patterns, the martial artists of the Great Spirit, proficient in martial arts, had no difficulty dealing with them.
And right at this moment, a reply from the congregation of gods and Buddhas arrived, accompanied by the bloodline emissary, who had an ear cut off.
The emissary deliberately left the ear unrepaired to convey this message.
Having waited for this opportunity, the Great Spirit Empire finally began full operation, mobilizing the vast state machinery, dispatching elite troops one group after another, following the outer celestial road, to the outer world, to expand new imperial territories.
