Lin Qin lived in the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range for three months.
Life in the canyon is simple, but more regular than most places in hell. Every day when it gets slightly brighter, the sound of blades piercing the air can be heard from the training ground at the bottom of the canyon.
Lin Qin was naked and holding a Black Jade Heavy Blade. The blade was four feet three inches long, one hand wide and weighed three thousand six hundred kilograms.
The sword skills he practices have no names.
It's just the most basic chopping, slashing, chopping, and teasing. But every time the knife falls, Gravity Domain will cover a hundred feet in radius, and the shock wave caused by the blade when it passes through will cause the ground to crack with spider web-like cracks.
More and more people are watching.
At first there were only a few Reynolds, but later young people from other branches also came to see the news. They stood on the edge of Cultivation Ground and watched Lin Qin repeating one knife after another.
Lin Qin's breathing is always steady, and the power of each knife is controlled with incomparable precision. One minute more is not too much, and one point less is not too much. Laws of the Earth's four mysteries flow on the blade, sometimes as heavy as a mountain, sometimes as vibrating as waves, sometimes as hard as iron, and sometimes as bound as a net.
In the afternoon, Baruch will come.
Sometimes they brought a bottle of wine, sometimes they were empty-handed. The two of them sat on the edge of the cliff on the east side of the canyon, with an abyss below them. In the distance, they could see the silhouette of the patrol flying by on Dragon Path.
"The family now has twenty-seven branches." Baruch said, taking a sip of wine, "Our Yulan Continent branch is the weakest, even Highgod No. The strongest ones, such as Thunder Cliff, "That branch, there are seven Highgod, and the patriarch Reynalds is Seven-Star Fiend."
Lin Qin listened silently.
He could feel the helplessness in Baruch's words. The law of the jungle is the same everywhere. There is also competition within the family. Cultivation resources, Godhead, and artifacts all have to be fought for by strength. The weak can only hold on to a corner and barely maintain their bloodline.
"Although you are only a mid-level god, you are very talented." Baruch looked at him with serious eyes, "In a few days, I will take you to the Ancestral Hall for baptism."
"Baptism?"
"Dragon Transformation Pool." Baruch said, "Every Dragonblood Warrior that returns to the family must soak in it once. It can activate the potential of the bloodline and produce more Divine Clone."
Lin Qin nodded. "Okay."
He didn't ask any more questions.
Three days later.
Baruch takes Lin Qin through the depths of Dragon Path.
The further you go, the more magnificent the buildings become. Some castles are built on the top of the mountain, and are made of blue God-level stone, with dragon patterns engraved on the surface. Some mansions are suspended in mid-air, with magic circles supporting them below, making them radiant. The frequency of patrols is also higher, there is one almost every ten miles, and the leaders are all Highgod.
"This is the core area of the family." Baruch whispered, "Don't rush in if you have nothing to do. Some old guys have bad tempers and will take action directly if they are annoyed."
Lin Qin nodded.
He glanced across those castles and could feel the terrifying aura lurking inside. Several rays of divine consciousness swept over him with a sense of scrutiny, but they quickly moved away.
After walking for about half an hour, a majestic hall appeared in front of us.
The hall door is more than ten feet high, and the entire body is carved from a single piece of blue crystal jade, with a halo like water flowing on the surface. There are statues of Azure Dragon on both sides. The dragon body is as thick as a bucket, with clear scales. The dragon's eyes are blue crystal stones the size of two fists, emitting a soft but majestic light.
"We're here." Baruch said, "Dragon Transformation Hall."
He opened the door.
The interior of the hall is astonishingly empty. It is three to four hundred meters long and four hundred meters high, and people inside are as small as ants. The most conspicuous thing is the pool in the center of the hall, which is about fifty feet in diameter. The water is glowing with a sapphire-like luster and is constantly bubbling like boiling. When the bubbles burst, a light cyan airflow will be released. Those airflows gather together and never disperse. They swim under the huge Azure Dragon Relief at the top of the hall, like a living thing.
More than twenty people were already standing by the pool.
They were all young faces, both male and female, with auras ranging from the Saint Realm to Lowgod. They were wearing various colorful costumes or armors, and some of them were obviously from the same branch. They gathered together and talked in low voices. Seeing Baruch come in, everyone stopped talking and saluted respectfully. "Master Baruch."
"Yeah." Baruch waved his hand and said to Lin Qin, "These are the juniors who are going to be baptized this year. Including you, there are twenty-eight in total. Let's go down together later."
Lin Qin glanced at it.
Those young people were also looking at him, with curiosity and a hint of competition in their eyes. The purer the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline, the more energy it absorbs in Dragon Transformation Pool and the longer it lasts. This is a direct reflection of qualifications and determines the future status in the family.
A bald man in black robes came over.
He looked about forty years old, with a serious face. He was holding a cyan crystal the size of a fist in his hand. There was a liquid-like halo flowing inside the crystal, as if it was alive.
"Master Baruch, who is this?"
"Lin Qin, Yulan Continent are here." Baruch said, "The bloodline has been verified, no problem."
The bald man in black robe nodded and handed the crystal to Lin Qin: "Hold it and inject a little divine power into it."
Lin Qin Follow it.
Holding the spar in his right hand, a wisp of khaki divine power seeped out from his fingertips and penetrated into the interior of the spar. The spar instantly lit up with a cyan light. The light was medium to weak. After circulating inside the spar for three times, it slowly extinguished.
"Bloodline concentration----average." The bald man in black robe recorded it in a thick book.
Several young people around him breathed a sigh of relief.
Bloodline concentration determines potential. The bloodline of Lin Qin's Dragonblood Warrior is not pure. Such a person will only receive limited benefits even if he is baptized.
Baruch patted Lin Qin on the shoulder. "It's okay, as long as you can be baptized."
Lin Qin nodded.
He doesn't care about the concentration. Strength is gained by training, not by blood. "Heaven Rewards Diligence" gives him a hundred times efficiency, but the premise is that he has to put in a hundred times the effort. No matter how strong the blood is, if he doesn't practice, he will be useless.
"Everyone, take off your coats and enter the pool!" the bald man in black robe shouted.
The young people acted quickly. They took off their armor and robes. They left only their shorts and walked into Dragon Transformation Pool one after another. When the water in the pool reached their ankles, some couldn't help but sigh in comfort.
Lin Qin also took off his black outfit.
Lin Qin walked into the pool.
Warm.
As soon as he entered, he felt a large amount of gentle energy seeping into his body from his skin. The feeling was very strange, like returning to the mother's womb. Every muscle, muscle, bone, and blood vessel in his body was being nourished. The fatigue was swept away, and even his soul relaxed.
Cyan air currents rise from the pool water.
They seemed to be alive, hovering and converging in the air, and finally condensed into twenty-eight silkworm cocoons, wrapping each person. The silkworm cocoons were translucent, and the figures inside could be vaguely seen.
Lin Qin is wrapped in a blue silkworm cocoon.
Energy poured in continuously. He could feel that these energies were resonating with the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline lurking in his body. The originally silent power began to wake up, like a hibernating beast slowly opening its eyes.
The cyan light spots in the blood are getting brighter and brighter.
They were originally scattered all over the body, but now they are pulled by the energy of Dragon Transformation Pool and gradually converge toward the heart. With each point of convergence, the heart beats heavier, and the cyan halo in the pumped blood becomes richer.
Very comfortable.
But Lin Qin did not relax his vigilance. The power of his soul stayed awake and carefully perceived the changes in his body. The energy penetrated deeply, even the bones were infiltrated, and Azure Light began to appear in the bone marrow.
Time passed little by little.
At the end of the first day, five silkworm cocoons have stopped absorbing energy. The brilliance on their surfaces faded, and they slowly split open, and the people inside emerged from the cocoons.
The aura on their bodies was significantly enhanced, and there were faint lines of blue dragon scales on the surface of their skin.
"Not bad." The bald man in black robe nodded, "Go there to register and get Identity Token."
The young people climbed out of the pool excitedly and followed a silver-haired young man to the side room of the main hall.
The next day, more than a dozen cocoons stopped absorbing.
By noon on the third day, there were only three cocoons left in the pool that were still absorbing energy - one was Lin Qin, one was a blond young man, and the other was a black-haired girl.
The bald man in black robes by the pool was a little surprised.
"This time, three of them were able to last for three days? The one from the Yulan Continent has an average bloodline concentration. How could he last for so long?"
The silver-haired young man next to him shook his head. "I can't tell. Sometimes there are errors in blood concentration detection. Maybe there is a hidden blood power in his body that has not been activated."
"Let's see, it's probably going to be soon."
But Lin Qin's cocoon didn't stop.
The cyan air flow was still pouring in continuously, and the speed seemed to be accelerating. The blood resonance in his body became stronger and stronger, and the thumping sound of his heart beat like a war drum, echoing inside the cocoon.
In Sea of Soul, the originally faint cyan halo began to condense.
That is the soul defense talent that comes with Dragonblood Warrior's bloodline. Lin Qin relied on it to save his life several times when he was Saint Realm. Now, this halo is like mist gathering into a cloud, getting thicker and brighter.
On the evening of the third day, the blond young man's cocoon stopped.
On the morning of the fourth day, the black-haired girl's cocoon also stopped.
There is only one Lin Qin left in the pool.
"It's been four days----" the bald man in black robe frowned, "This has exceeded expectations. Dragon Transformation Crystal's energy consumption will increase, so you have to inform the elders."
He turned and left the hall.
Lin Qin didn't know what was going on outside. He was completely immersed in the changes in his body.
Those cyan energy not only nourished the blood, but also subtly changed his body structure. The muscle fibers became denser, and each muscle bundle was twisted like a steel wire, containing terrifying power. The bone density increased, and the bone marrow completely turned cyan. Every time he forms blood, the Azure Light in the blood becomes more abundant.
The internal organs are also strengthened.
The heart is like a cyan crystal, and the blood it pumps out when beating carries a fiery temperature. During the breathing of the lungs, it can handle a larger amount of heaven and earth elements. The liver, kidneys, spleen - all the internal organs have fine dragon patterns emerging on their surfaces.
Day five.
Baruch came, accompanied by two old men wearing dark blue robes.
One has a red face, one has white eyebrows, and his breath is as deep as the sea. At least it is Highgod, and it is not an ordinary Highgod. They looked at the only blue silkworm cocoon in the pool with serious expressions.
"Are you sure it's from the Yulan Continent's lineage?" the red-faced old man asked.
"OK." Baruch nodded.
"The blood concentration test was only at the three-day level, but now it has lasted for five days--" the white-browed old man muttered, "This situation is rare. Unless he has the power of the ancestral blood in his body, it can carry more Dragon Transformation Crystal energy."
"Keep watching."
Day six.
The green silkworm cocoon is still absorbing energy, and the absorption rate is faster than the previous two days.
The cyan airflow above the pool water almost formed a vortex, rushing into Lin Qin's body crazily. The brilliance on the surface of the silkworm cocoon became brighter and brighter, changing from translucent to a solid sapphire color, and finally even the figures inside could not be seen clearly.
Azure Dragon Relief on the top of the hall is faintly shining.
The relief was more than a hundred meters long, with the body of the dragon entrenched and its head hanging low. The dragon's eyes were originally stone carvings, but at this moment, the real Azure Light appeared. Two solid light beams shot out of the dragon's eyes, shining on the cocoon of Lin Qin.
"Azure Dragon has appeared!" someone exclaimed.
The expressions of the two elders also changed.
Azure Dragon Relief is left behind by the first generation ancestor Reding, and contains a trace of the will of Chief Sovereign. Only when encountering extremely rare blood qualifications will it be inspired and send blessings. The last time it appeared was three thousand years ago.
The beam of light lasted for ten breaths before dissipating.
The cocoon absorbed the light of Azure Dragon, and the brilliance on the surface was restrained, but the blood fluctuations coming from inside were even more terrifying, as if a real divine beast was awakening.
Early morning on the seventh day.
"Buzz"
The green silkworm cocoon suddenly shook violently.
The airflow on the surface rotated wildly, making a sharp whistling sound. The next second, the cocoon exploded and turned into blue light spots all over the sky, falling like a light rain on the surface of the pond.
The figure of Lin Qin is revealed.
He closed his eyes and floated above the pool. There were no wounds on his body, but his skin glowed with a faint cyan halo, like the finest jade, warm and yet hard. His muscle lines were smoother, and every inch contained explosive power.
What's even more shocking is that a Azure Dragon Shadow appeared behind him.
The virtual shadow is three feet long. Although it is blurry, its outline is clear. The dragon's whiskers are fluttering, the dragon's eyes are half-opened, and the dragon's claws are held empty, exuding an ancient and majestic aura. That is the projection of the first generation ancestor Reding, which is a sign that the purity of the bloodline has reached a certain level.
"Azure Dragon Phantom----" the red-faced elder murmured, "Although it is not clear enough, it is indeed the projection of our ancestors. This kid is amazing."
White-Browed Elder nodded. "To be able to induce Azure Dragon Relief, the phantom lasts for seven breaths, the qualifications are at least top-notch."
If you cultivate it well, you will hopefully achieve Seven-Star Fiend in the future."
Baruch grinned.
He had known that Lin Qin was not simple. How could it be possible to reach this stage from a mid-level god in more than a hundred years just by luck?
Lin Qin in the pool opened his eyes.
At that moment, Azure Dragon Shadow behind him raised his head and let out a low cry of Dragon Roar. The sound was not loud, but it seemed to ring directly in the depths of the soul, and the souls of everyone who heard it trembled.
"Roar"
Dragon Roar echoes.
At the same time, Lin Qin felt that the cyan halo in Sea of Soul was completely condensed and formed.
It is no longer a cloud of mist, but a cyan water drop. The water drop is about the size of a thumb, crystal clear, with countless tiny dragon patterns flowing inside. It is suspended above Soul Ocean, exuding a strong breath of life and Water Law fluctuations.
And----
Laws of the World has arrived.
Without any warning, a vast wave of law enveloped the hall.
"I'm going to become a god!"
"Water Divine Clone!"
Lin Qin Above the head, a gap opened in the space.
Endless Water Element elements gathered from all directions, forming a blue vortex. In the center of the vortex, the cyan water droplet flew out from the center of Lin Qin's eyebrows, slowly rose into the air, and merged into the crack.
Ten breaths later.
The cracks closed and Laws of the World dissipated.
A figure that looked exactly like Lin Qin, but exuded a cyan halo, fell from the sky and stood next to him. This figure was wearing aqua blue robes, with gentle eyes, and was surrounded by a faint mist of water vapor.
Water Divine Clone, done!
There was silence in the hall.
Everyone looked at Lin Qin with complicated expressions. After the Ancestral Hall was baptized, there was an extra Divine Clone, which was a sign that Dragonblood Warrior had become an adult.
Lin Qin landed.
When his feet touched the ground, green dragon scales flashed on the surface of his skin.
"How do you feel?" Baruch came over.
"Very good." Lin Qin said.
He only said two words, but Baruch could hear the satisfaction in it. This boy who was always silent could say "very good", that means it was really good.
"Go and rest first." White-Browed Elder said, "In three days, come to the Elder Hall to report. Since you have such qualifications, the family will provide you with corresponding resources."
Lin Qin nodded. "Yes."
He didn't ask more about what the resources were, and there was no need to ask. Once the strength is reached, what should be there will naturally come. What he is more concerned about now is that the fusion of the four mysterious Laws of the Earth seems to have become looser after this baptism.
When following Baruch out of the hall, all those young people got out of the way.
There is no more contempt in his eyes, only awe. In Hell, strength is everything. Lin Qin spent seven days baptizing,
Azure Dragon appeared and Water Divine Clone proved that he was not a waste who got in by luck.
Return to the canyon.
Reynolds and others had heard the news, and they all gathered at the mouth of the valley to wait. When they saw Lin Qin coming back, they all gathered around.
"I heard that you were baptized for seven days?"
"Also attracted Azure Dragon Relief?"
"Water Divine Clone is done?"
Lin Qin responded one by one, still not saying much. Baruch blocked most of the questions for him, drove them away, and took him back to the stone house.
"Elder Hall, prepare yourself." Baruch said, "They may arrange tasks for you, or let you go to Thunder Cliff's side to practice. No matter what it is, the next thing is. The family is short of people now. The stronger you are, the higher your status will be."
"Understood."
"Practice well." Baruch patted his shoulder, "I'll leave first, you rest."
The stone house became quiet.
Lin Qin sat down cross-legged, and his consciousness sank into Sea of Soul.
Earth Divine Clone and Water Divine Clone are suspended side by side, with Saint Domain True Body in the middle. The body of this deity has been strengthened again through baptism, and now the pure physical strength has reached High-God Artifact. If it transforms into a dragon again, it should be able to reach the strength of the best High-God Artifact.
He tried to mobilize the power of blood.
Cyan dragon scales instantly appeared on the surface of the skin, and his hands turned into dragon claws, with fingertips as sharp as knives. Two short dragon horns protruded from his forehead, and a shadow of a dragon tail flashed behind him. The transformation only lasted three breaths before being lifted, but the burst of power at that moment convinced him that -
Now I can tear into pieces an ordinary Highgod with my bare hands.
If you encounter Six-Star Fiend in Hurricane Corridor again, you don't need a sneak attack, you can still fight head-on.
Close your eyes and start practicing.
Laws of the Earth Four mysterious fusion maps unfolded in my mind. The thickness of Mysteries of Power, the mysterious vibration of Pulsation, the condensation of Earth Element, and the bondage of Gravity Space - countless energy threads intertwined, collided, and tried to connect.
This is a long and tedious process.
It requires countless trials and errors, and requires absolute concentration and patience. But what Lin Qin lacks most is patience.
Time passes little by little.
The sky outside the window was darkening and brightening, and there were shouts of people getting up early to practice in the canyon. In the distance, there was the sound of patrols flying over Dragon Path.
But none of this has anything to do with him.
He was immersed in the ocean of laws, deducing over and over again, trying again and again. Every time he failed, he started over. Every progress, even if the connection of the threads was just a little tighter, was worth it.
Three days later, the order from the Elder Hall came.
A soldier wearing blue standard armor stood outside the stone house with a loud voice. "Lin Qin, the elder has invited you."
