Dragon Bloodline, Re-entering Spirit Condensation Realm

The moment the dragon corpse collapsed, you stored the Dragon Pearl into your Storage Treasure, but then you noticed something intact in the dust. You looked at the item—it was a Dragon Scale.

Yes, a dragon has a Reverse Scale; touch it and you die. It was also the hardest part of the entire Dragon Corpse besides the Dragon Pearl. As you looked at the Dragon Scale, Ye Chen picked it up and handed it to you. You rubbed the Dragon Scale he gave you for a moment and realized that due to the passage of time, this scale might once have reached the level of a Sacred Item material, but now only had Half-Saint Grade power. It was an excellent material for making a treasure artifact, and compared to a weapon, this Reverse Scale was better suited for a defensive treasure. You planned to ask someone to craft it into a Heartguard Mirror after breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, expecting its defensive power to be extremely high.

After putting away the Dragon Scale, you and Ye Chen continued exploring. Eventually, you discovered an Underground Cave inside the mountain, filled with vast treasures—various metallic items, along with some Martial Artists' weapons and armor.

Unfortunately, most of the weapons and armor were no longer usable and could only be melted down as materials. Only a few, which had survived the corrosion of time, were of a higher grade.

You understood that the contents of this Underground Cave were the Giant Dragon's hoard. Soon, you and Ye Chen packed everything into your Storage Treasure and left the Secret Realm.

After returning to the Snow Mountain Sect, you took out the Dragon Pearl again. According to Ancient Records, the Dragon Pearl had many uses, and most people chose to forge it into a weapon. You knew that the energy within this Dragon Pearl, if made into a weapon, could directly become a Sacred Artifact. But you didn't intend to do that—not only because you couldn't find an Artifact Refiner capable of crafting a Sacred Artifact, but also because you wanted to use another method. Even if you had a refiner, you wouldn't forge it into a weapon.

You planned to refine the Dragon Pearl and make it a part of your body. Though there was some risk, your physical constitution was already high, and compared to the gains, the risk was worth taking.

After all, if you successfully refined the Dragon Pearl, you would gain a Dragon Bloodline, greatly enhancing your talent. The temptation of a Yao Saint-level Dragon Bloodline was too strong for you. Even if it meant taking a risk, you were willing to try. Soon, you used your Yuan Power to shrink the Dragon Pearl, then swallowed it in one gulp. Once inside, it immediately followed your Yuan Power's guidance to your dantian.

You officially began refining the Dragon Pearl. As you refined it, the Dragon Pearl immediately resisted, struggling against you. You felt excruciating pain all over your body, as if someone were slicing your flesh with a knife. Even with your strong will, you couldn't help but let out low, guttural roars.

But you didn't stop refining the Dragon Pearl. Your Yuan Power continued to guide your consciousness to make contact with it. As time passed, three months later, you finally completed the refinement. By then, your appearance had changed drastically. Fine scales covered your body, two Dragon Horns grew from your forehead, your nails became long and sharp, and if one looked closely, your pupils had turned into vertical slits. Your Charm Points had also reached the human limit—if you could see the panel, it would now be at one hundred.

You weren't surprised by the physical changes. Soon, by controlling your body, you retracted all the Dragon Scales, Dragon Horns, and other changes, returning to your original appearance. But now, your features looked flawless no matter how you viewed them.

Even though your demeanor was refined, any woman who saw you would feel the most primal desire, like a man seeing a succubus. This was an uncontrollable allure—even if you had no intention of seducing anyone, to others, it was the ultimate temptation.

This change wasn't just external. You could clearly feel yourself growing stronger with every breath. The speed of this growth was far faster than when you had been exceptionally talented before.

It reminded you that most dragons were lazy, yet even so, they grew stronger just by sleeping. Adulthood for them was a peak many humans could never reach in a lifetime.

Aside from the boost in talent, now that you had part of a Dragon Bloodline, you also noticed some drawbacks. For example, you clearly felt your mind becoming lazier, and your passion for cultivation was far less than before. Fortunately, while these effects had some influence, you could still control them. After all, you were the one dominating the Dragon Pearl, not the other way around.

At the same time, after refining the Dragon Pearl, your cultivation broke through to the late Void God Realm, and you even made significant progress within that stage.

In the one hundred and tenth year, after absorbing your Bloodline Essence, the three children's talents seemed to have slightly improved, aside from their cultivation.

Meanwhile, you noticed that since absorbing the Dragon Pearl, your desires had grown stronger. You were spending more and more time with your wife, Jiang Wen. Fortunately, she had already broken through to the Heavenly Origin Realm and had excellent physical fitness, or she might not have been able to withstand your relentless attention.

Your wife also noticed the change, but she was even happier. Not only had your desires increased, but Jiang Wen herself felt strongly drawn to you. She didn't see your change as a bad thing at all.

However, one thing troubled you after absorbing the Dragon Pearl: you noticed that your daughter's gaze toward you seemed off. Fortunately, you caught it in time and avoided a disaster. You began to avoid Ye Pingjing, meeting her as little as possible, which finally brought your daughter's behavior back to normal.

In the one hundred and thirty-second year, despite the difficulty of condensing the Void God, you still broke through to the early Spirit Condensation Realm.

That same year, you established the Ye Family Ancestral Land in Jiancheng and sent people to an undiscovered Large Blessed Land. After taking control of it, the Sky Domain Sect Inner Sect, as you expected, tried to seize it. But what surprised you was that only two Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists and eight Void God Realm martial artists came. Only then did you recall that the Sky Domain Sect Inner Sect still had one member who hadn't broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm.

Zhang Quanjian looked at you, already waiting in the Blessed Land, somewhat surprised. He was about to threaten and persuade you, but you cut him off.

You didn't want to hear his nonsense. You immediately launched an attack on Zhang Quanjian. Although you hadn't cultivated a Return to Simplicity-level Martial Skill this time, you had the boost of your Dragon Bloodline. Your current strength was more than enough to deal with these two old bastards from the Sky Domain Sect.

Soon, you clashed with the ten High-level members of the Sky Domain Sect. Within minutes, all the Void God Realm martial artists of the Sky Domain Sect were down. The remaining two—Zhang Quanjian and another early Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist—tried to flee, but you easily blocked them. They couldn't escape the grave you had chosen for them. Their attacks landed on you, but half were absorbed by your Low-grade Heaven Grade Treasure Armor, and the remaining damage couldn't even injure you.

Half a day later, you were the only one left on the battlefield. After taking all the treasures they carried, you had their bodies burned.

The Soul Guard Disciples of the Sky Domain Sect, upon discovering that all the High-level members' life tablets had fallen, immediately realized the High-levels had been killed. They notified the remaining disciples to prepare for another escape, but the Ye Family disciples and Snow Mountain Sect disciples you had arranged in advance blocked them. Soon, these people were forced to take a Martial Oath.

But not everyone was allowed to leave. You had previously noted many disciples in the Sky Domain Sect Inner Sect who committed evil deeds, and you recorded them on a list, which you handed to the Elder in charge of the blockade. Following your orders, that Elder killed every single person on the list without exception.
