Fengling's Advancement
It took a day and a half to prepare all the resources.
All four Talisman were completed: two Second-Rank Low-Grade Molten Fire Talisman, one Second-Rank Low-Grade Gale Talisman, and one Second-Rank Low-Grade Darkness-Eroding Talisman Talisman that could help absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and stabilize one's own realm.
Given Yang Tianyou's skill in drawing talismans, these two Talisman were naturally masterpieces.
Once everything was ready, Yang Tianyou called Fengling and Yuan Ba to his side and asked them when they would break through.
The two Spirit Beasts looked at each other and spoke.
"Hmm? Break through now, no need for further refinement?"
"Well, since you're confident, I won't interfere. Let's go to Wolf Pool to break through."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Tianyou led the two Spirit Beasts towards the Wolf Pool.
The shimmering blue waters, like a painting, reflect the vast sky above the Wolf Pool, seemingly encompassing the entire universe—an indescribable beauty.
Purple Moon Wolves frolicked by the Wolf Pool, most of them cubs. The adult Purple Moon Wolves were mostly on missions and usually stayed with the Yang Household Members.
Wolf Pool, in a dark cave, the sleeping Wolf Ancestor quietly opened its eyes. Its brown wolf pupils held a hint of joy. It had received a message from Yang Tianyou, informing it that the Purple Moon Wolf Clan would be gaining another Tier 2 member.
Before long, Yang Tianyou, Fengling, and Yuan Ba arrived at Wolf Pool, where the Wolf Ancestor was waiting.
Upon seeing them, he didn't say much, just nodded, and walked off in a certain direction on his own.
Led by the Wolf Ancestor, they arrived at a tranquil underground cave, with the Wolf Pool just above and to the side of the cave.
Stalactites of various shapes hang from the top of the cave, their dripping sounds never ceasing.
As Yang Tianyou ventured deeper into the cave, he could clearly feel the concentration of Spiritual Qi energy increasing. The further he went, the more concentrated and gentle the Spiritual Power became.
Yang Tianyou naturally knew the reason. There was a Second-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein on Purple Moon Mountain. This Spirit Vein had two Spiritual Qi nodes. One of them was the Purple Moon Mountain, and the other node was the cave in front of them. The Yang Household Member called this place "Wolf Den".
As we all know, Spiritual Qi energy is more concentrated where Spiritual Qi nodes are located, let alone the node of a Second-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein.
After reaching the end, Yang Tianyou seemed to be able to sense wisps of Spiritual Qi playfully dancing on the surface of his skin, something that would be impossible in the outside world.
"We've arrived. Let these two little ones stand on the stone platform. There's Spirit Gathering Formation set up by the Lineage there, which will better assist in their breakthrough," the Wolf Ancestor said.
"Fengling, Yuan Ba, who wants to go first?" Yang Tianyou asked, looking at the two Spirit Beasts.
A joint breakthrough is impossible, as it's easy for them to interfere with each other, so we can only proceed one at a time.
"Awoo..."
"Roar..."
"Okay, that's settled then. Fengling goes first! Yuan Ba is second." Yang Tianyou made the final decision, then took out a bunch of resources, put them in Storage Bag, and handed them to Fengling.
The latter, carrying the Storage Bag, climbed onto the stone platform and lay down.
Yang Tianyou, Wolf Ancestor, and Yuan Ba retreated and stood in a place where they wouldn't interfere with Fengling's breakthrough, Dharma Protector it.
On the stone platform, the almost tangible, dense Spiritual Qi caused the Fengling's soft, dark blue fur to flutter continuously, making the entire wolf seem to swell up considerably.
Without hesitation, Fengling swallowed the Inner Core in front of her, and the other auxiliary resources were no exception, all of which she devoured.
Finally, it placed two Talisman, one on the left and one on the right, on its belly and began the breakthrough.
The cultivation path of the Demon Race can be divided into two types. One is to continuously move closer to human form, which is called the Transformation Path. Demon Race who take this path will gradually lose their Fleshly Body advantages, but their comprehension will slowly increase, and their understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth will become easier.
The other path is a more primitive one. This path requires maintaining one's beastly form and continuously refining one's bloodline, inscribing the Dao and the Law within it. This is the Bloodline Path.
Those Demon Race who follow the Bloodline Path will have increasingly stronger Fleshly Bodies, and in the Late Stages they can even transform into human form. However, this human form is different from the human form of those who follow the path of transformation.
The former is a form that can reproduce and thrive alongside Human Race; it is an essential Bloodline Metamorphosis, and this is how the so-called Half-Demon came about.
The latter is different. For them, human form is just an outer garment, not a fundamental change. Therefore, wolves are still wolves and cannot mate with Human Race to produce offspring.
In today's Cultivation World, most Demon Race follow the first path because it is simpler, especially after transforming into human form, their cultivation speed is much faster than before.
Those Demon Race who dare to walk the Bloodline Path are mostly Demon Beasts with powerful bloodlines. They are not afraid of lacking comprehension, because as long as they continuously purify their bloodline, their cultivation will naturally improve.
As for Demon Beasts that lack a powerful bloodline but still wish to follow the Bloodline Path, they are generally indulging in wishful thinking and will not go very far.
Unless it fortuitous opportunity extraordinary opportunities that cause its bloodline to continuously Bloodline Metamorphosis, forging its own path as a demon ancestor.
However, such Demon Race are few and far between, not only in the Lu Wu Realm, but throughout the entire Three Realms. Each one of them is a renowned demon king or demon ancestor.
Fengling chose the second path, the Bloodline Path. She chose this path for two reasons: first, because of the mysterious bloodline of the Purple Moon Wolf, and second, because of her master Yang Tianyou.
Don't forget that as Bonded Spirit Beast, the Fengling can share a portion of the enlightenment boost from the Jade Register Heavenly Book. In addition, it can also enter the Dao Comprehension Space.
Therefore, Fengling is fully capable of pursuing both paths. While continuously strengthening her Fleshly Body by following the Bloodline Path, she also possesses a powerful comprehension comparable to or even surpassing the Transformation Path, making it a win-win situation.
Boom!!
A single thought arises, and the world echoes.
The Demon Power that had been accumulating within Feng Spirit Body for so long began to surge violently, breaking through the shackles of the Tier 2 Demon Beast with unstoppable force.
Immediately afterwards, the test of heaven and earth arrived, and the originally docile Spiritual Qi began to become turbulent, like wild bulls charging through the wind Spirit Body.
Drops of blood seeped from the hair, rising with the surge of Spiritual Qi and swirling around the Fengling.
As time passed, the surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi intensified, proving that Fengling's breakthrough was nearing its end.
Finally, accompanied by a Desolation and arrogant wolf howl, an incomparably magnificent Azure Wolf roared to the sky, and an extremely violent aura appeared around it, which was the unique pressure of Tier 2 Demon Beast.
After the breakthrough, the Wind Spirit Body didn't grow much larger, but its Fleshly Body strength was significantly increased several times over. The muscle contours were still clearly visible even when covered by hair.
In addition, a purple Crescent Moon Mark was faintly visible on Fengling's forehead.
Yang Tianyou focused his senses and actually detected a slight sense of danger. It seemed that with Fengling's breakthrough, the Purple Moon Divine Light, his Life-Bound Spell, had also increased in power.
"Roar!"
Yuan Ba thumped his chest, staring intently at Fengling, his crimson eyes seemingly burning with flames.
Seeing its companion successfully break through, the irritable Fire Ape couldn't hold back any longer; it was eager to experience the power of Tier 2 Demon Beast.
"Alright, Yuan Ba, you can go now. Remember, don't be impatient during the breakthrough process, take it slow!" Yang Tianyou said seriously.
"Roar!"
Yuan Ba gave a low reply and strode towards the stone platform.
