Bloodline Trace Origin, a Son and Daughter
Time flies, and several months have quietly passed since Yu Yuanchen returned to Dragon City. The winter snow has melted, spring has returned to the earth, and Dragon City is full of Life Force. As for Yu Yuanchen, his life is regular and fulfilling, spent with his beloved wife and engrossed in his research.
In the forbidden area behind the mountain, in the Cultivation Chamber.
Yu Yuanchen slowly opened his eyes, his pupils swirling with Purple-Gold Lightning, a thoughtful and somewhat dissatisfied expression on his face. A faint, almost invisible ripple emanated from his body, radiating a profound aura that seemed capable of repelling and distorting certain invisible forces. This was the rudimentary form of his Self-Created Soul Skill, "Demon Breaking Seal," which he had painstakingly developed over several months.
After countless deductions, attempts, and adjustments, he successfully combined the natural resistance to negative states in his Dragon Bloodline with the ability to interfere with the laws in his transformed Soul Power, forming this special Defense Field. Once activated, it can indeed significantly weaken or even provide immunity to certain low-level curses, slowing effects, weakness, and other rule-based effects.
However, its effect still fell short of Yu Yuanchen's expectations. Faced with the rule interference he Simulation, which was equivalent to that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, "Demon Breaking Seal" could offset some of it, but it was far from achieving "immunity" or "significant weakening". The core problem was that his activation of the ancient, almost "Immunity to All Laws" origin in his own Dragon Bloodline was not deep enough or pure enough.
"In the end... I am not a true pure-blooded Dragon Clan." Yu Yuanchen sighed softly. His Martial Soul was the top-tier Thunder Sacred Dragon, and his bloodline had undergone multiple transformations and was infinitely close to the Dragon King level, but fundamentally, he was still human. The human body, like a sophisticated "container" and "converter," could bear and utilize the power of the Dragon Clan, but could not be born with the Dragon Clan race's certain "privileges" or "exemptions" from the laws of heaven and earth that were engraved deep within their bloodline and soul.
To bring about a qualitative change in the "Demon Breaking Seal," it is necessary to delve deeper and even "awaken" the Dragon Clan's original heritage hidden in the bloodline!
A bold and dangerous idea surfaced in Yu Yuanchen's mind once again—to use the "Return to Origin" Spirit Domain Spiritual Power had constructed after reaching the Spirit Domain Realm!
"Return to Origin" allows one to trace back to the essential origin of all things. If one were to use the power of this domain to trace back to the source of one's own bloodline, one might be able to access fragments of memories and inherited information from the ancestral True Dragon of his Thunder Sacred Dragon Bloodline in ancient times!
This is no easy task, and is extremely dangerous! The memories of the Dragon Clan are vast and boundless, containing not only knowledge and power, but also their unique will, emotions, and even worldview. Once one is immersed too deeply and corrupted by that ancient, domineering, and self-centered Dragon Clan will, at best one's personality will change drastically, and at worst one may lose oneself, be dominated by Bloodline Instinct, and become a monster that only knows destruction!
In the past, Yu Yuanchen's strength had not yet reached its peak. Although his will was firm, he lacked complete confidence, and coupled with numerous other matters, he had always suppressed this thought. But now, his Cultivation Level had reached the limit of level ninety-nine, his Soul Power had undergone a qualitative change, and his Mind and Will had been tempered through countless trials, making them Rock Academy. He was confident that as long as he was cautious enough and proceeded step by step, he could manage this risk!
"Time waits for no one... If I want to protect what I cherish, how can I hold back because of fear of risk?" A resolute glint flashed in Yu Yuanchen's eyes. This was not merely to perfect the "Demon Breaking Seal," or to have a trump card to deal with any strange methods in the future, but also to walk more steadily on the upcoming path to God Level without losing his courage and determination. Yu Yuanchen decided to take the risk and give it a try!
With the plan finalized, Yu Yuanchen did not begin immediately. He first spent several days adjusting himself to his peak condition, with abundant Blood Essence, harmonious Soul Power, and full of energy. Afterward, he set up multiple restrictions around the meditation room to ensure that no one would disturb him, and set up Warning Barrier so that if his aura fluctuated violently or became abnormal, it would automatically alert his grandfather Yu Boxuan.
With everything prepared, Yu Yuanchen sat cross-legged in the center of the quiet room and slowly closed his eyes.
"Return to Origin, Trace Origin!"
Buzz--!
An invisible and intangible yet mysterious fluctuation, seemingly capable of piercing through time and space and revealing the origins of existence, quietly spread outwards from Yu Yuanchen. This time, he did not extend his domain outwards, but instead contained and inwarded its power, like the finest scalpel, guiding it towards the Bloodline Source!
In an instant, Yu Yuanchen's consciousness seemed to sink into a surging, Purple-Gold Bloodline River, radiating a magnificent Dragon Might's might! He went against the current, passing through his father Yu Mingfeng, his grandfather Yu Boxuan... passing through the traces of generations of ancestors of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... continuing upward!
He saw it! He saw thunder tearing through chaos, he saw dragons emerging from the sky! He saw countless ancient True Dragon, their bodies blotting out the sky, their scales shimmering with divine light of various colors, their aura devastating, soaring through the sea of stars, vying for supremacy on the earth!
He did not presume to obtain the complete inheritance, but rather, like a cautious archaeologist, carefully "touched" the fragments of memory floating in the Bloodline River.
For the first time, he "saw" a purple divine dragon wielding the Evil-Breaking Divine Thunder, battling a Didi Demon Dragon engulfed in undying demonic fire in the star field. The dragon's claw strike was not a simple burst of energy, but rather it drew upon the surrounding Law Power, transforming them into a cage that sealed off space and time! Yu Yuanchen's mind was stirred. He only had time to memorize the profound method of exertion before immediately severing the connection and withdrawing from the tracing.
Back to reality, Yu Yuanchen's face was slightly pale, and sweat beaded on his forehead, but his eyes shone brightly! "So that's how it is! Dragon Clan Battle Skill allow every movement to draw upon the Heaven and Earth Power and earth, rather than simply relying on the physical body and Dragon Power!"
After resting for several days and allowing his mind to fully recover, he conducted his second tracing. This time, he "saw" a silver-purple divine dragon roaming in an endless Sea of Thunder. Its scales naturally formed countless Thunder Runes, and it could devour thunderclouds for thousands of miles with a single breath, taming the raging Thunder Power as if it were its own arm. Yu Yuanchen focused on the flow of runes on its scales and the unique Artistic Conception of "Thunder Control" rather than "Thunder Manipulation."
The third time, he "experienced" a fragment of memory from an ancient Black Dragon. This Black Dragon was not skilled in magic, but specialized in physical strength. Its body was as strong as Divine Metal, and it had once torn apart a powerful Divine Formation that tried to seal it with its claws! Yu Yuanchen felt that pure and extreme physical power and the Law Breaking Will that shattered all constraints!
The fourth time, the fifth time...
Each time he traced back memories, Yu Yuanchen was extremely cautious, never lingering too long in the same memory. The information he absorbed each time was also extremely limited, and there was always a sufficient interval between two tracings to allow for digestion, absorption, and to ensure that his will was not eroded.
The process was perilous, like walking on thin ice. Several times, he was almost affected by the overwhelming resentment of a dragon before its death or the ferocious killing intent during battle. Fortunately, his Spiritual Power was strong enough to hold fast to his principles and he managed to break free in time.
But the rewards were also immense!
Over the months, although he hadn't obtained any complete Dragon Clan Secret Skill, he had acquired a wealth of fragmented experience regarding Dragon Clan Combat Method, Energy Usage Technique, Body Tempering Method, and how to resist various Law Restraint. This experience came from ancient True Dragon of different attributes and specialties; although it wasn't systematic, it opened a door for him to a higher level of power application!
The most direct benefit was a breakthrough in perfecting the "Demon Breaking Seal" technique! Through analyzing the memory fragments of the Dragon Clan who were adept at resisting curses and breaking seals, Yu Yuanchen gained a completely new understanding of how to more efficiently stimulate the Law Resistance in his bloodline. He no longer tried to "build" a barrier, but instead learned from the Ancient Dragon Clan, allowing his own bloodline aura and energy to circulate, naturally emitting a domain field that "repels all laws"!
The new "Demon Breaking Seal" was unleashed, no longer accompanied by a visible energy shield. Instead, it enveloped him in an invisible "Dragon Power Field." Any external force attempting to act upon him would be instinctively repelled and impacted by his own bloodline and Soul Power the moment it came into contact with this field, its power greatly reduced! While it couldn't be claimed to be completely immune to similarly level Rule Skill, weakening them by more than half and significantly extending their duration was already achievable! Yu Yuanchen had tested it; even Qian Daoliu Daoliu's full-force "Purification" Law Power, unleashed with the divine artifact Angel Sacred Sword, was now only a fraction as effective against him!
Moreover, these fragments of the Dragon Clan memories greatly enriched his combat experience and broadened his horizons. The scenes of ancient dragons fighting against various powerful beings, though only fleeting glimpses, gave him a completely new understanding of the Power Usage, the Timing Control, and even the Desperate Situation Response. This was far beyond what could be achieved by simply studying in isolation.
The biggest gain was inspiration! Countless ideas burst forth in his mind, and he planned to integrate these Dragon Clan Combat Skill and Blood Essence Martial Path after perfecting the "Demon Breaking Seal" to create a top-level Martial Arts System that was truly suitable for the cultivation of Dragon Martial Soul!
Furthermore, his early creation of the <True Dragon Undying Body> was largely based on his own experience, focusing on the circulation of Blood Essence and the Body Tempering. Compared to other Soul Master, it was naturally a top-tier method, but compared to the physical mysteries of the Dragon Clan that roamed the universe at its peak, even if it was only a part of it, it still seemed rather rudimentary. But now, he was confident that he could perfect and elevate it, making it truly worthy of the name "True Dragon," and making it the supreme Body Refining Secret Skill of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
Spring came and autumn went, and several months passed. When Dragon City once again welcomed the height of summer, Yu Yuanchen finally pushed the "Demon Breaking Seal" to its current stage of perfection, and carried out a complete upgrade and reconstruction of the <True Dragon Undying Body>, incorporating a large amount of the Dragon Clan Body Refining Essence, making its power and potential incomparable to what they were before.
However, just as he was preparing to continue his in-depth study of the new martial arts, he voluntarily stopped all his practice and research.
Because Ye Zhilan's due date is approaching.
Although the doctor diagnosed that he still had more than a month to live, Yu Yuanchen had no interest in anything else. He completely left the affairs of the sect to his grandfather and father, refused all visitors, and stayed by Ye Zhilan's side all day long, almost never leaving her side.
Inside the bedroom, a calming, delicate fragrance filled the air. Ye Zhilan's belly was already quite large, making movement slightly difficult, but her complexion was rosy and her spirits were high. Looking at her husband's anxious expression, even more so than her own, she felt both amused and touched.
"Brother Yuanchen, there's no need to be so nervous. There's still almost a month to go." Ye Zhilan leaned against the soft couch, watching Yu Yuanchen carefully peeling Spirit Fruit for her, and said softly with a smile, "Your appearance is making me nervous too."
Yu Yuanchen gently brought the peeled fruit to her lips, his movements as tender as if handling a rare treasure, yet his tone carried an undeniable firmness. "These last few days are crucial. I'm not going anywhere; I'll stay here with you. Tell me what you want to eat, what you want to do."
Knowing his intentions, Ye Zhilan said no more and accepted his thoughtfulness with a smile. With the strongest person on the continent, the dignified Dragon Emperor Douluo, serving her so carefully, her heart was filled with sweetness and peace.
Yu Yuanchen took on almost everything he could: feeding her, helping her walk, reading stories to keep her entertained, and even clumsily trying to massage her. His nervousness and anticipation infected everyone around him. Elders such as Yu Boxuan, Yu Mingfeng, Ye Kuan, Father Ye, and others often came to visit, and the hall was always filled with a warm and expectant atmosphere.
Time passed peacefully and warmly. However, the birth of a child always seems to bring surprises.
On this day, the sky was clear and the sun was warm; it was an ordinary afternoon. Ye Zhilan had just woken up from a nap and was being helped by Yu Yuanchen as she slowly strolled around the hall. Suddenly, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she softly hummed in agreement.
"What's wrong, Zhilan? Are you feeling unwell?" Yu Yuanchen's nerves tightened instantly.
Ye Zhilan felt the regular contractions coming from her abdomen. Her cheeks were slightly pale, and she whispered with a mixture of panic and determination typical of first-time mothers, "Brother Yuanchen... I... I think... I'm going into labor."
There were no unusual celestial phenomena, no dramatic changes in the Wind and Clouds; everything happened so naturally and peacefully.
Yu Yuanchen was taken aback at first, then reacted. Even with his Peak Douluo composure, he was somewhat flustered at this moment. He forced himself to remain calm, and gently lifted Ye Zhilan into his arms, his voice steady as he reassured her, "Don't be afraid, Zhilan, I'm here! I'm here for you!"
As he carefully placed Ye Zhilan on the prepared delivery bed, he used his Soul Power to transmit a message, instantly alarming the entire sect!
"Quickly! Get a doctor! A midwife! Inform Grandfather, Father, and Grandpa Ye!"
The command was clear and swift, tinged with a barely perceptible tremor.
In an instant, the entire Young Sect Master Mansion, and even the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, sprang into action! Well-trained maids, experienced midwives, and the sect's most skilled healing -Medical Skill Healing System Soul Master were instantly in place! Yu Boxuan, Yu Mingfeng, Ye Kuan, and others also rushed to the outside of the hall at top speed, each with a tense yet expectant expression.
Yu Yuanchen was stopped outside the delivery room. This was the rule; even though he was the strongest person on the continent, he could only pace anxiously outside the door like an ordinary husband. His powerful Divine Sense could clearly perceive everything inside the delivery room, feel Ye Zhilan's suppressed groans of pain, and sense the vibrant Life Aura striving to enter the world.
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly. Every minute and every second was torture for Yu Yuanchen. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his aura unconsciously rippled slightly, making the surrounding air seem to stagnate. He had never felt so powerless before. He possessed extraordinary Cultivation Level, yet he was unable to share even the slightest bit of his beloved's pain.
"Wow--!"
After an unknown amount of time, a clear and powerful cry of a newborn baby, like heavenly music, suddenly broke the tense silence!
Yu Yuanchen was startled and rushed to the door in an instant.
Immediately afterward, another cry, slightly weaker but equally full of Life Force, rang out!
"Congratulations, Young Sect Master! Congratulations, Young Sect Master! It's Dragon-Phoenix Twin! A Young Master and a Young Lady! Mother and Child Safe!" The midwife burst out of the room with a beaming smile, announcing the good news repeatedly.
Yu Yuanchen's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. A surge of immense joy overwhelmed him instantly. He stepped into the delivery room, where the rich smell of blood mingled with the fresh scent of New Life. Ye Zhilan lay on the bed, her face pale and her hair damp with sweat, exhausted, but a satisfied and happy smile graced her lips.
Two experienced midwives were carefully placing two swaddled babies beside the bed. Inside, the two tiny infants had a faint blush on their skin, their eyes not yet fully open, but their delicate features were already evident. The boy cried loudly and stroking with strength; the girl, on the other hand, seemed quieter, sobbing softly.
Yu Yuanchen walked to the bedside, first bending down to place a deep kiss on Ye Zhilan's forehead, his voice hoarse yet full of tenderness. "You've worked hard, Zhilan."
Ye Zhilan shook her head weakly, looking tenderly at the two children.
Yu Yuanchen then reached out with trembling hands, carefully taking one small, warm Life in each hand and cradling it in his arms. At that moment, he felt as if he were embracing the whole world. An unprecedented surge of blood-related emotion and a sense of responsibility filled his heart.
"Brother Yuanchen, let's give the child a name," Ye Zhilan said softly.
Yu Yuanchen gazed at his children in his arms, his eyes filled with boundless love and expectation. He pondered for a moment, then proclaimed loudly, "My son, let him be named ' Yunting '! May he be like thunder in the clouds, hidden yet unleashed, but when he does, he will astound the world. May he inherit the will of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, be resolute and brave, and shake the heavens!"
"My daughter's name is Yunyao! May she be like a beautiful jade in the clouds, gentle and intelligent, with a pure heart, living a life of joy and peace, and being loved by heaven and earth."
Yu Yunting, Yu Yunyao.
Once the names were decided, a chorus of congratulations erupted both inside and outside the hall. Yu Boxuan and the others also entered, and seeing the two infants in their swaddling clothes, they were overjoyed and laughed continuously.
Holding his children and guarding his wife, Yu Yuanchen looked at his family who had gathered around him, his heart filled with an indescribable sense of fulfillment and happiness. All the disturbances of the outside world, the bottlenecks in his cultivation, and the challenges of the future seemed insignificant at this moment.
The birth of the New Life brought new hope to Dragon City and turned a new page in Yu Yuanchen's life. The road ahead may still be full of storms, but the warmth and joy of this moment will be forever engraved in his heart, becoming the source of his motivation to protect everything.
