Chapter 4: Ancestral Dragon Essence, Defying Fate to Transform the Body

The second chapter of the Dragon Ancestor's blood, an earth-shaking body transformation

Ye Yun sighed softly.

The system had granted him many ceremonial robes through his daily sign-ins, but most were men's robes. Women's robes were exceedingly rare.

Even the finest among them was only of imperial rank; as for those beyond the divine level, Ye Yun felt it would be inappropriate to take them out now.

Still, by his judgment, an imperial-grade robe was more than enough to embody the dignity of the Dragon God Sect's master.

With a light stamp of his foot, the world seemed to turn and stars to shift, and he and Luo Li appeared halfway up the mountain.

Here, far from those graves, was a secluded place.

Then he gently swept his hand, and at once a clear stream of water descended from the sky.

"Wash yourself first."

Ye Yun tapped his fingers and laid down a concealment formation.

In an instant, neither he nor Luo Li could see the other.

Luo Li was no fool, and immediately understood the old ancestor's thoughtful intention.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor!" Luo Li said gratefully, then ran beneath the little waterfall, quickly stripping off her clothes and washing away the impurities from her body.

Ye Yun turned his back.

Though the formation was in place, he still maintained the dignity of an elder.

After all, with so many generations between them, how could he have any inclination to spy on that little charcoal-like girl?

Very quickly, Luo Li's voice came from within.

"Old Ancestor, I'm done washing. Please open the formation!"

Ye Yun paused slightly, then relaxed. Having survived for years in an environment of relentless pursuit, Luo Li was not as slow and coy as an ordinary young woman.

He withdrew the formation and also dismissed the stream of water formed by his power.

Luo Li, now dressed in an exquisite pale-yellow robe, stood before him like a lotus just after the rain, delicate and bright.

It made Ye Yun's eyes light up.

This girl was not ugly in the least; on the contrary, she was strikingly beautiful.

Her skin was like jade, her features refined, her brows and eyes painted like a scroll, her figure graceful and supple. She could be called a first-rate beauty.

By Ye Yun's standards, she was unquestionably top-tier.

"Such a Dragon God Sect master would be quite presentable if taken outside..." Ye Yun praised inwardly.

His body trembled faintly.

His cultivation rose from the first level of True God Realm to the second.

The blood of the Primordial Dragon was truly formidable.

Ye Yun estimated that once he fully absorbed its power, he would at the very least reach the tenth level of True God Realm.

"Luo Li, your Dragon bloodline is so thin within you. Is it because the sect no longer has any Dragon divine blood?"

Ye Yun suddenly asked.

"Yes."

Luo Li's expression dimmed. "The two-hundred-and-fiftieth generation sect master used to safeguard the Dragon divine blood. After he died, our Dragon God Sect never had any Dragon divine blood left to use!"

"That damn fool."

Ye Yun cursed sharply.

If that worthless descendant were still alive, Ye Yun would have slapped him to death on the spot.

"Luo Li, don't worry. Since the Dragon bloodline within you is so thin now, that actually works in your favor. I can use the Primordial Dragon blood on you."

"What? Primordial Dragon bloodline?"

At those words, Luo Li was so shocked her jaw nearly hit the ground.

The Primordial Dragon was the ancestor of all dragons!

How precious must its blood be?

Luo Li could hardly imagine it.

While she was still reeling, Ye Yun had already taken out a large wooden tub, fully five meters in diameter.

Then he produced a small porcelain bottle and tipped it gently inside. In the blink of an eye, the entire tub was filled with a blood-red liquid.

"Ah!" Luo Li's whole body trembled, and she cried out as she dropped to her knees.

The thin Dragon bloodline within her sensed the suppression from the Primordial Dragon blood in the tub, and her body lost all control.

This Primordial Dragon essence blood was terrifying...

But how could there be so much of it?

Luo Li recalled the records within the sect: even the direct disciples of the Dragon God Sect could only consume a single drop of Dragon divine blood.

And as for the peerless prodigies cultivated by the sect master, at most they could only use three drops.

Yet in that wooden tub before her...

There had to be tens of thousands of drops, at least...

And these were all the legendary Primordial Dragon blood!

Its preciousness was such that even if one gathered together all the Dragon divine blood stored in the sect's treasury from the era when the old ancestor was still alive, it still wouldn't equal the value of a single drop of Primordial Dragon blood!

Ahhh!

Luo Li felt she was going mad!

"Old Ancestor, this is far too wasteful. One drop would be enough for me!"

Shaken to the core, Luo Li kept shaking her head.

Ye Yun rubbed his brow, looking deeply disconcerted.

What was a whole tub of Primordial Dragon blood worth?

He had just swallowed a bottle of it, and that bottle alone was as large as a small lake.

As for the Primordial Dragon blood in his warehouse, there was so much of it it could not be counted.

But Primordial Dragon blood could only, to a certain extent, promote cultivation the first time it was used to improve one's constitution and awaken one's bloodline.

On the second use, it could only increase the concentration of the bloodline.

And once that concentration exceeded one hundred percent, the Primordial Dragon blood could no longer be used.

Luo Li was still kneeling on the ground, staring at the shimmering blood that radiated overwhelming Primordial Dragon aura, shaking her head repeatedly as she pleaded, "Old Ancestor, one drop is enough for me. I'm afraid I can't withstand such a huge tub of Primordial Dragon blood!"

Ye Yun lowered his head.

He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Hmm... that's true. Haste makes waste. I was being too impatient. After all, your cultivation is still too low, and your foundation too weak..."

"Yes, yes, Old Ancestor, you're absolutely right!" Luo Li hurriedly nodded.

Looking at the little girl, her delicate face yet her eyes burning with a fierce will to survive, Ye Yun could not help but smile gently.

"Very well. I'll give you one drop of Primordial Dragon blood first. I'll store the rest and let you take it periodically in the future, so your bloodline concentration can keep rising."

With a flick of his finger, Ye Yun transferred the Primordial Dragon blood in the tub into an empty bottle, then tossed it to Luo Li.

Luo Li was startled.

Her little face instantly turned pale.

So much Primordial Dragon blood, and she was supposed to carry it with her? With her cultivation at only the eighth level of Energy Gathering Realm, how could she possibly be qualified?

"Old Ancestor, could you keep it for me first?"

Embarrassed, Luo Li handed the bottle back to Ye Yun.

"Very well."

Seeing this little girl, Ye Yun was equally helpless. He drew out a single drop of Primordial Dragon blood with his finger, letting it float to Luo Li's lips.

Luo Li swallowed it at once, then immediately sat cross-legged and began to absorb and refine it using the Dragon God Sect's unique Dragon heart method.

Only a few seconds passed.

Luo Li's aura suddenly changed, and she broke through to the ninth level of Energy Gathering Realm.

Dozens of seconds later, she broke through to the tenth level of Energy Gathering Realm.

Mystic Core Realm, first level!

Mystic Core Realm, second level!

Mystic Core Realm, third level!

...

Having swallowed that single drop of Primordial Dragon blood, Luo Li's aura grew ever stronger. She surged ahead with unstoppable momentum, her cultivation breaking through at an astonishing pace.

At the sight of this, Ye Yun nodded with satisfaction.

This one drop of Primordial Dragon blood was indeed extraordinary. Regrettably, even ten thousand years ago, such blood was already the stuff of legend, and the entire Dragon God Sect had none of it.

Ye Yun also wanted to see just how far this little girl could rise after taking that drop of Primordial Dragon blood.

Mystic Core Realm, ninth level.

Mystic Core Realm, tenth level.

...

Essence Sea Realm, first level.

Essence Sea Realm, second level.

...

Luo Li's aura was like a volcano erupting. Only when she reached the tenth level of Essence Sea Realm did that surging momentum finally come to a halt.

Luo Li opened her eyes.

She looked at Ye Yun in overwhelming delight, her voice trembling as she said, "Old Ancestor, my cultivation has actually reached the tenth level of Essence Sea Realm!"

The chapter ends.
