Bloodline Purification

Early in the morning, in a luxurious room on the top floor of the hotel, Su Cheng sat shirtless on a wide, soft bed, lost in thought with his eyes closed.

Beside him, the beautiful woman's delicate, bare face was turned to one side, her long blue hair flowing smoothly between the pillows.

A thin blanket covered her shapely, fair body, leaving only her snow-white shoulders and long neck exposed. Large patches of flush and clearly visible, messy hickeys remained on her skin.

Ah Yin's eyes were closed, as if she were asleep, and there was still a little moisture in the corners of her eyes, as if she had just cried.

It wasn't because she had been forced into anything, but rather because of her physical condition.

Whenever the two of them reached a crucial moment, adding a little more intense movement would allow her to easily push her limits.

Under such intense sensory stimulation, her emotions would easily become out of control, leading to various instinctive reactions.

The two, having been separated for a long time, had booked a hotel room. Of course, they couldn't just talk about business as they claimed; they would definitely engage in some physical activity first to deepen their feelings for each other.

No other way is it easier for two people to regain their former intimacy than this kind of contact.

Su Cheng opened his eyes, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and glanced at Ah Yin, whose breathing was steady. He wondered if she was pretending to be asleep out of shyness. He didn't wake her up for the time being, but instead calmed his mind and began to feel his own power.

Ah Yin's unique body, which is completely different from that of Soul Master and Soul Beast, coupled with the strange energy circulating in her body that is different from Soul Power, greatly helped Su Cheng.

This has already been proven in the real world.

After the physical union last night, the realm that was originally expected to be reached in at least three years was directly broken through the bottleneck caused by the body's age in just one night, and he rushed to the God-level.

However, the benefits of this exercise for the two of them go far beyond that.

He disliked being distracted by pleasure or examining his progress. The union of Yin and Yang is a fundamental principle of the universe, and should not be profaned by mundane matters like cultivation.

Only after entering "wise man mode" did Su Cheng seriously examine his own changes.

With a slight thought, a Martial Soul appeared.

It wasn't his usual Longevity Sword, but rather his Second Martial Soul, the Innate Array Diagram, which he rarely used in the past.

Unlike the colorless energy array of the past, this Second Martial Soul was now surrounded by a layer of yellowish-brown halo, exuding a strong sense of weight.

That is the power of the earth, and also the special energy from Ah Yin. Its nature is tenacious, enduring, and inexhaustible.

"I see."

Feeling the immense power and the changes that the Martial Soul was giving back to his body, Su Cheng's eyes flashed with understanding.

This time, when entering the Simulation, instead of choosing his talents as he had in the past, he was given three Initial Talent: True Physique (Replica), Trajectory Demon Eye (Semi-Sealed), and Bloodline Purification (Insufficient Awakening Energy).

He already understood the first two.

The replicated True Physique allowed Su Cheng to directly possess the True Power that he had evolved from Innate Power by chance in the real world, without having to find a way to regain it. This saved him a lot of effort in the early stages and greatly increased his growth speed and potential in this Simulation.

As for the Trajectory Demon Eye, it currently exists on his body in the form of the True Sight Eye, which is the so-called "semi-sealed" state, and it has also brought him great help.

The reason Su Cheng was able to study the unique characteristics of the Dragon Clan from the large number of skeletons left in the Dragon Tomb in just a few years was largely due to this special External Soul Bone that could Insight the essence of energy. His later in-depth research into the Dragon God's Divine Core and Dragon God Bloodline was also greatly aided by his True Vision.

But this is clearly not the real Trajectory Demon Eye; it works no differently from the True Sight Eye in reality.

Su Cheng guessed that perhaps a certain opportunity would be needed for him to break the seal and truly obtain the power of the "Trajectory Demon Eye." And he already had some ideas about where that opportunity lay.

Only the third talent, "Bloodline Purification," was something Su Cheng had never understood what it meant.

He had previously thought that this might be related to the Dragon God Bloodline within him. He believed that once the Silver Dragon King grew up, with her help, he might have the opportunity to extract useful abilities from the Dragon God Bloodline.

But after a night of madness, he realized that he had been wrong all along.

The so-called "insufficient awakening energy" has nothing to do with Su Yue. What is needed is an alternative power of Soul Power that transcends this world, such as the earth and Nature Power in Ah Yin's body.

Even the "bloodline" mentioned in it does not refer to the Dragon God Bloodline, but rather to his own bloodline.

Su Cheng had long known that Martial Soul originated from bloodlines.

The object that gains the benefit after purifying the bloodline is this Second Martial Soul, which was rarely used in the past.

"..."

As Su Cheng released his Martial Soul, Ah Yin beside him silently opened her eyes and looked at him.

Her warm, autumn-like eyes were filled with tears, creating a striking contrast with her gentle and graceful face, making her look extremely alluring.

One glance was enough to trigger an instant reaction in Su Cheng.

At the same time, Ah Yin immediately noticed the red light that flashed across his eyes. Her expression suddenly became flustered, and she lowered her eyes, no longer daring to meet his gaze.

She even reached out and pulled the blanket tighter around her entire body.

Whether it was intentional or not, she curled up her legs under the covers, making her originally slender figure look like a round dumpling, leaving Su Cheng speechless.

"What are you doing? You've taken all the blankets! What am I supposed to do?"

"You don't need to cover yourself with a blanket," Ah Yin said in a muffled voice, not even looking at him. Then, she glanced curiously at the energy array above his right hand, which emitted a similar aura to her own. "What's with your Martial Soul?"

She knew that Su Cheng possessed this Second Martial Soul, but she also knew that Martial Soul was a support-type Martial Soul, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which did not possess any offensive power. Therefore, Su Cheng rarely used it.

The only time I can recall him using it was during the battle of Spirit City, in front of the Pope's Palace Square, when he publicly revealed it while using his self- Martial Soul Fusion Skill to resist Tang Hao's powerful offensive.

"We'll talk about that later." Su Cheng put away his Martial Soul and moved closer to her.

Then, ignoring the other's reproach and struggle, he forcefully reached his arm under the thin blanket, grabbed that soft flesh, and gently kneaded it. "You should be able to continue breaking through now, right?"

"Hmm." Ah Yin forced herself to suppress her breathing and tried her best to keep her voice steady. "As long as I condense Soul Ring, I can break through to the Titled Douluo."

"Very good, my strength has also increased a lot. With your help, I can start to do important things now."

"You still haven't told me what's going on?" Ah Yin bit her lip and whispered, while pressing down on the large hand that was roaming over her body. "Ugh, can you please stop this nonsense..."

"This is not the real world, nor is it the rebirth you imagine. Rather, our consciousness has entered another world. This world may be a real spacetime, or it may be a fictional fragment of time, or it may be an incorrect timeline waiting to be corrected. These are all my guesses. But this is definitely not the world we originally lived in, nor is it the main world."

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin paused in her resistance, her expression somewhat confused.

She didn't quite understand much of what Su Cheng was saying.

What is another dimension? What is the main world?

Is it possible for multiple worlds to coexist?

If we follow this logic, wouldn't there be many versions of ourselves existing simultaneously?

She thought it was unlikely.

Su Cheng glanced at her, guessed what she was thinking, and smiled, "As I just said, those are just my guesses, the truth doesn't matter. Besides, you are you, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Even if there are other Ah Yin, you are the most unique one."

"Hmm." Ah Yin pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth curving upwards into a gentle arc.

"You can think of this place as a dream."

"Where can you find such a realistic dream? Besides, who knows they're dreaming while they're dreaming, and what do they do if they want to wake up?"

"Treat it as a dream, but not an ordinary one. Everything that happens here will have an impact on the real world. Perhaps even your physical body in the real world will undergo some special changes as a result."

At this point, Su Cheng suddenly paused.

He suddenly realized a problem.

As the one carrying out the mission, whether I live or die doesn't really matter, as long as the mission is completed, that's enough.

Therefore, he can take the task outcome as a guide and carry out various operations without restraint, and will naturally be able to return to reality after the Simulation ends.

But for someone like Ah Yin in his current situation, is it possible for him to be able to sacrifice himself and remain unharmed like him?

What is the underlying principle of the existence of the Spirit Core?

She arrived here carrying memories of her past, even the unique energy and constitution she possessed in reality, entering this Simulation. If she were to unexpectedly die in this world, would there be irreparable consequences?

Thinking of this, a dark look crossed Su Cheng's brows.

It's not just Ah Yin; others who have obtained the Spirit Core but have not yet awakened their memories probably also have similar hidden dangers.

However, Xiao Xue also died once in the first Simulated World, but in reality she inherited the related memories and also awakened another negative soul. From this perspective, perhaps it's not as serious as imagined...

"What's wrong?" Noticing that Su Cheng's expression was off, Ah Yin was a little puzzled.

"It's nothing." Su Cheng shook his head, not wanting her to worry. After all, it was just a guess, and besides, he would avoid similar situations from happening. As the mission progressed, he was confident that he would be able to uncover more secrets.

"You said before that you would tell me the whole truth."

"...All right."

Su Cheng sighed helplessly and explained, "I'm different from you. This special world exists because of me, and I need to make some attempts here. There have been similar situations before, and the Innate Power was something I gradually accumulated and developed during this process. But the fact that you can inherit the consciousness of reality is something I didn't expect. What I'm worried about now is whether the end of this world will have any negative impact on you in reality."

"Because of you?" Ah Yin's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you that powerful?"

It is incredibly incredible that someone could create such a world that is indistinguishable from reality, even if it is just a fragment or a fabrication.

Even the most powerful gods probably couldn't do something like that.

"I'm not that great. Since you're giving someone a mission, you should of course give them benefits, and all gifts always come with a price."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means I'll have to work for others from now on," Su Cheng explained casually. Then he frowned, staring into her eyes with suspicion, and said, "Hey, why are you focusing on these trivial details? Didn't you hear the important point I made earlier? Waking up in this world could very well affect you in the real world. Aren't you worried?"

"Don't worry." Ah Yin gently stretched out her arm and smoothed the wrinkles between his brows with her soft fingertips, saying softly, "I've always believed in you."

"..."

Su Cheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, "You're so naive, how can I bear to lie to you in the future?"

With that, he flipped himself up and pounced on the other person. "It's still early, let's stop talking nonsense and continue our cultivation."

"Wait, wait a minute—"

Su Cheng ignored her resistance and, while crawling into bed, laughed, "This is my first time in this world."

"Who asked you to say these things!" Ah Yin's cheeks were flushed red, but she was clearly powerless to stop the other party's tough attitude.

She's always been like this, submissive and easy to bully, which is why someone has become increasingly demanding.

Su Cheng held her in his arms, admiring the coy reluctance and shyness on her delicate face, and leaned down to kiss her gently.

Actually, there's something Su Cheng has never told Ah Yin.

Her attitude—that she clearly enjoys herself immensely yet is always ashamed of the feelings she inadvertently reveals—is what makes it so irresistible.

Because her reactions and actions were not just for show.

She was indeed very shy about this kind of thing.

Despite her shyness, she couldn't resist her body's instincts and her own feelings, resulting in a series of contradictory behaviors that made her even more adorable.

Soon, suppressed groans began to echo in the room again.

The dense energy fluctuations gradually spread out, but were then contained within the room by the domain to avoid disturbing others.

At the same time, faint colored halos continued to emanate from the surroundings, proving that Su Cheng had indeed not lied and that he was truly cultivating.
