Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

The Jiao Shen Palace has been able to continuously produce Fourth Order Flood Dragons, dominant and ruling over numerous sea clans, mainly because of this blood pool at its core.

The blood pool, according to legend, was formed from the dripping heart blood of a true dragon over countless years. The initial palace master of Jiao Shen Palace broke through the Fourth Order bottleneck and transformed into a Fourth-Order Great Demon of Transformation using the blood from this pool.

Successive palace masters of the Jiao Shen Palace always sought various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to sacrifice and strengthen this blood pool.

Those flood dragons that had used this blood pool to advance to Fourth-Order Great Demons of Transformation were required to contribute a certain amount of essence blood and various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures periodically to reinforce the pool.

Even though this blood pool has been repeatedly used through generations of sacrifice by the Jiao Shen Palace, it has become much stronger than when it was first discovered. Of course, the quality of the pool has undoubtedly decreased compared to its initial state, considering the essence of a true dragon was in it previously.

However, the quantity of the pool has now increased dozens of times over what it was originally.

Zhao Yu said, "Chi Huang, this is your fortune! Go ahead!"

A gleam of fervent desire flashed in Chi Huang's eyes as he leaped forward, plunging directly into the blood pool, beginning to absorb the essence and transform.

Zhao Yu took out the flesh and inner core of various Fourth-Order Great Demons of Transformation for Chi Huang to eat. Zhao Yu then activated the swallowing of Dao Fruit to help Chi Huang digest the flesh, inner cores of the demons, and the essence of the blood pool, allowing Chi Huang's bloodline quality to evolve.

The news of the Jiao Shen Palace's great defeat swiftly spread within the Blue Sky Sea realm, causing a huge stir among the cultivators.

Inside the Haiyuan Palace.

Yuan Sheng Zhenjun looked at the information in his hands with a trace of incredulity in his eyes, "The Black Jiao Emperor of the Jiao Shen Palace is a supreme Fourth-Order top-grade Great Demon, possessing the inherited Spiritual Treasure, Jiao Shen Knife of the Jiao Shen Palace. Even Divinity Transformation cultivators can fend it off to some degree.

If it were to burn its life force in a desperate attack, it might even injure a Divinity Transformation cultivator! Such an unparalleled giant demon was actually killed by Zhao Yu! This is inconceivable!"

Yuan Sheng Zhenjun also recognized that he was not a match for the Black Jiao Emperor. Of course, if the Black Jiao Emperor were to attack, he would be able to hold off using Haiyuan Palace's grand barrier and the human Nascent Soul Cultivators within it, perhaps even repelling the foe. But he definitely couldn't detain the Black Jiao Emperor unless it expended too much mana.

If the Jiao Shen Palace were to attack in full force, Haiyuan Palace, despite its grand barrier, could absolutely not withstand it. Ultimately, Haiyuan Palace would only be able to kill a few Fourth-Order Great Demons of Transformation, and then the entire palace would fall, unless they could gain the support of other human cultivators.

Yuan Sheng Zhenjun pondered internally, "It seems a new sovereign of the Blue Sky Sea has arisen! Even if Zhao Yu relied on the grand barrier to kill the Black Jiao Emperor, he still has the qualifications to dominate.! He can surely claim that Fifth-Order Supreme Grade Spirit Vein! This person must be befriended!"

The Jiao Shen Palace, once a dominant Demon power in the Blue Sky Sea, having succumbed to Zhao Yu's hands and with the palace master Black Jiao Emperor dead, no Nascent Soul Power from the Blue Sky Sea would covet the Fifth-Order Supreme Grade Spirit Vein from the Emperor's Sect without facing certain death.

Inside a secretive palace at the headquarters of the Sea God Meeting.

Hao Hai Zhenjun slowly said, "It's unexpected that even the Jiao Shen Palace is no match for him. Shadow Dagger, elevate Zhao Yu's rank within Sea God Meeting to Silver-Level Elder."

"Yes, President!"

A cultivator clad in black, seeming to merge with the darkness and with an indistinguishable face, responded softly.

Various Nascent Soul Level human powers in the Blue Sky Sea realm promptly sent emissaries to where Zhao Yu was located, represented by Li Xianjiao in receiving these emissaries.

Zhao Yu stayed within the Jiao Shen Palace, assisting Chi Huang to enhance his bloodline quality.

A year passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the blood pool of the Jiao Shen Palace, a gigantic blood cocoon split open, and a monstrous creature with a body length of one Zhang, covered with a layer of crimson-red dragon scales, sporting the head of a true dragon, the body resembling that of a dog, four paws, and a dragon tail, crawled out from the blood cocoon, exuding terrifying dragon might.

Zhao Yu's lips slightly curved into a smile, "Success!"

"Red Emperor."

"True Dragon Demon Dog."

"Bloodline Quality: Supreme Grade (0/1000000)."

"Cultivation Level: Fourth-Order Intermediate (398/4000)."

Zhao Yu's eyes flashed with a scorching gleam, "Although Red Emperor's cultivation level has not increased, its bloodline quality has explosively increased tremendously, already reaching the Supreme Grade; just one step further, and it will be True Spirit! That is the realm of True Dragons, True Phoenixes, Kunpeng, and other True Spirits!"

True Dragons, True Phoenixes, and other True Spirits of heaven and earth have already vanished in this realm; once these True Spirits reach adulthood, they possess the cultivation of Great Vehicle level.

After Red Emperor's bloodline quality was elevated to the Supreme Grade, it also means that it could more smoothly grow to become a Combined Body level. In addition, with the improvement in its bloodline quality, its combat power also surged tremendously and was enough to vie with common human Great Cultivators.

"All the essence in this blood pool has also been drained by Red Emperor! We can go back now!"

Zhao Yu left the Jiaoshen Palace directly and returned to the ruins of the Emperor's Sect, engaging himself in closed-door Cultivation.

Thirty years passed in a blink. Over these thirty years, Zhao Yu switched to practice the Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture, completely transforming his mana into the mana of the Emperor's Thick Earth Scripture; his mana became even more pure and vigorous.

Zhao Yu also rebuilt the Dan Ling Sect at the ruins of the Emperor's Sect.

One day, above the Dan Ling Sect, the spiritual energy suddenly surged. Clouds of spiritual energy started to gather, and an overwhelming aura of the Nascent Soul Level began to permeate.

Fang Shitou, looking in the direction of the Dan Ling Sect, revealed a relieved smile, "The Sect Mistress has condensed Nascent Soul!"

Shangguan Lingxiu, observing the spirit clouds in the sky, a flash of envy crossing her eyes, "Nascent Soul!! Sister Xianjiao has condensed into a Nascent Soul. I wonder if I could successfully condense a Nascent Soul!"

Ling Qianxue watched the spirit clouds in the sky with a complicated expression, pondering secretly, "If I had married him first as a Dao Companion, would I be the one condensing the Nascent Soul now? Although I am the first Golden Core Cultivator in the history of the Ling Family, I too aspire to become a Nascent Soul Cultivator!"

Wu Zixin also had a touch of excitement in his eyes, "Sister Xianjiao's promotion to Nascent Soul, this way, our Dan Ling Sect's power will grow even more, enabling us to conduct more businesses."

Wei Xinlan looked up at the spirit clouds in the sky with excitement, "Sister Xianjiao is so powerful!"

Tuoba Xue also swept a hint of excitement in her eyes, "Sister Xianjiao has also been promoted to Nascent Soul. The master always dotes on us; perhaps I might also have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future."

Nangong Shiyao, watching the spirit clouds in the sky, also saw a flame of ambition flicker in her eyes, "Sister Xianjiao's barrier has ascended to Nascent Soul; she has always been the most favored by the master. It's no surprise she ascended to Nascent Soul. If I can gain more of master's favor, the next one to ascend to Nascent Soul will be me."

Within the range of the power of the Dan Ling Sect, headquarters of the Cang Ling Sect.

Su Bingyun, dressed in the robe of the Sect Master, watched the spirit clouds in the sky and also swept a trace of envy, softly sighing, "That little girl I knew has actually ascended to Nascent Soul!"

Nascent Soul Cultivators are located at the pinnacle of this realm, second only to Divine Transformation Cultivators.

Most of the Divine Transformation Cultivators in this realm are engrossed in arduous cultivation or researching how to ascend to a higher plane; they are like mythical dragons which are rarely seen, with the Nascent Soul Cultivators typically being the strongest walkers in the world.

Once Li Xianjiao ascends to Nascent Soul, she will also be among the top cultivators in this realm, fully capable of establishing a sect and dominating a territory.
