Bloodline Advancement

This isn't a GG, it's a recommendation for the treasure of a book: Swallowed Star: Starting by Binding the Epiphany System.

"Identity confirmed, transaction can proceed."

"Bai Yuan, this is the Bloodline Evolution Agent you requested."

The person in charge spoke as he directly opened the briefcase.

Inside the case lay a slender syringe, its contents flowing with a rainbow-like liquid.

The person in charge closed the case with a click and handed it over.

"Many thanks." Bai Yuan reached out and took it.

The other party said nothing more, turned around, and boarded the spaceship to leave.

Bai Yuan didn't delay either; carrying the case, he quickly returned to the castle.

He opened the briefcase, took out the syringe with its flowing, iridescent liquid, aimed it at his arm, and without hesitation, plunged the needle in.

Almost instantly, an intense pain surged through his entire body like an electric current.

Fortunately, he had already mentally prepared himself, so he gritted his teeth and bore it head-on.

In fact, Bai Yuan felt that the pain wasn't as terrifying as he had imagined.

When the Earth Trio used the Bloodline Evolution Agent, their situation was probably far more brutal than his.

Soon, he figured out the key point.

Luo Feng and the others had a ninth-tier Earthling bloodline, requiring a more thorough transformation, so their reaction was naturally more intense.

He, on the other hand, had a sixth-tier bloodline; the effect of the Bloodline Evolution Agent was relatively limited, and the pain was thus greatly reduced.

But what hurt still hurt!

About an hour later, the effect of the Bloodline Evolution Agent ended.

The process of bloodline evolution also consumed a massive amount of life force. Although Bai Yuan was physically and mentally exhausted at this point, he immediately took out a Wood Bud Crystal and entered a cultivation state.

Wood Bud Crystals contained pure and vast life energy, making them precious treasures for promoting life evolution, and using them now was perfectly appropriate.

However, the effect of an ordinary Bloodline Evolution Agent on his sixth-tier bloodline was ultimately limited.

Before long, his body signaled a feeling of saturation, making it difficult to continue absorbing.

"Planet Realm, fifth stage... not bad, I suppose."

Bai Yuan let out a breath, sensed his condition slightly, and a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.

"My brain domain width actually increased a bit too, reaching sixteen. Also, it's time to focus on cultivating the Immortal Diamond Body."

--

The Treasure Pavilion specialized in all kinds of rare and exotic treasures; rumor had it that the Pavilion Master was a Universe Realm powerhouse.

"I wonder if your pavilion has all the treasures on this list?"

The steward took the list handed over by the black-robed man, glanced over it briefly, then nodded with a smile:

"Rest assured, guest, everything you've listed is in stock at our pavilion. However, the total price for these items is no small sum. I'll waive the odd change, making it five point two billion Black Dragon Coins in total."

Five point two billion Black Dragon Coins was no small amount; it was enough to purchase a second-tier top-grade force weapon or several C-class cosmic spaceships.

Bai Yuan said nothing more and directly completed the transfer.

"The money has been transferred. I want the goods prepared within three days."

"Hahaha, how refreshing! What need for three days? Half a day is enough! If you're not in a hurry, you can wait in the VIP room for half a day. Our Treasure Pavilion not only has countless treasures but also beauties as plentiful as clouds."

The steward laughed heartily, his gaze toward Bai Yuan now completely different.

To casually hand over five point two billion Black Dragon Coins meant this person was either a hidden expert or a core disciple of some major force out on a training expedition.

"I'll wait, but forget the beauties. I don't wish to be disturbed."

Bai Yuan entered the VIP room and found it to be a world unto itself.

Fruit platters and fine wines were all available, and all kinds of entertainment facilities were dazzling in their variety.

Rather than a VIP room, it was more like a luxurious private entertainment hall.

Bai Yuan found a place to sit down and carefully recalled the cultivation outline of the Immortal Diamond Body, his mind gradually becoming clear.

Because his special ability, "Diamond Body," inherently granted him a physique far surpassing ordinary people, he could skip the first stage of the secret technique, "Foundation Casting and Body Forging," and directly begin the second stage, "Material Fusion and Body Refining."

Simply put, this secret technique didn't grow stronger by elevating one's life level, but by continuously fusing various heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and special metals to fundamentally strengthen the body's structure.

If breaking through realms was a vertical ascension, then the Immortal Diamond Body pursued a horizontal, extreme expansion.

Because of this, the greatest difficulty in cultivating this secret technique was neither talent nor comprehension, but massive resources.

In other words, it burned money.

Just like when he first met Bai Kuangren, the reason his opponent's physique was as towering as a mountain was likely due to cultivating this secret technique, causing such a significant transformation in his body.

Of course, the effect of the secret technique was also extremely astonishing.

The secret art is divided into six layers, corresponding to the Planet Realm, Star Realm, Universe Realm, Domain Lord Realm, World Lord Realm, and Immortal Realm.

Once successfully cultivated, it grants the practitioner a "Diamond Indestructible Body," with defensive power comparable to a Force Armor of the same rank.

If one were to cover such a body with a suit of battle armor, forming an absolute defense both inside and out, within the same realm, those capable of breaking through his defense would likely be few and far between.

Beyond this, the secret art also provides some additional enhancements, improving the practitioner by 20% across the board—not only in physical strength but also in genetic energy and mental domain breadth.

A single improvement might not seem astonishing, but when stacked comprehensively, it brings about a qualitative leap.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the Southern Cloud State Lord from Snow Eagle Lord.

His self-created Southern Cloud Sacred Body refined countless rare treasures into his own physique.

If asked what its trait was, it was that the heavens and earth lacked everything except money.

As for the Immortal Diamond Body, Bai Yuan even speculated that the Immortal who created this secret art was likely at least a Marquis-level existence.

However, compared to treasures like the Soldier Armor or General Armor, this secret art didn't seem so exaggerated.

After all, even the lowest-grade Soldier Armor could grant its user 1000 times the peak power of a World Lord, with might rivaling a Marquis-level Immortal.

Attacks below 1000 times the peak power of a World Lord could be completely blocked, while those exceeding it were reduced by 90%.

In comparison, a secret art that strengthens the body didn't seem all that outrageous.

As for the Calamity Armor, which could nurture Soldier Armor and General Armor, it was a treasure crafted by none other than Mountain Sitting Guest, a former Divine King, with immeasurable power.

An hour later, the steward entered with a troubled expression.

Bai Yuan could tell from the man's face that something had gone wrong.

"What happened?"

The steward explained somewhat awkwardly:

"My sincerest apologies, guest. The materials you require were originally in stock, but just now, Young Master Meng Xun arrived in person and demanded ten stalks of Sun-Facing Grass, while you also need three."

"Currently, the pavilion's inventory has only eleven stalks left. Would you be willing to take just one for now? The remaining two will be replenished within ten days. As an apology, we'd like to offer you a 20% discount, and the difference can be refunded immediately. What do you think?"

Bai Yuan was puzzled: "Wasn't it said that the Treasure Pavilion has a Universe Realm powerhouse backing it? Why must it fear a young master?"

The steward had no choice but to confess: "Young Master Meng Xun's great-grandfather is the head of the Meng Family, a genuine Domain Lord Realm powerhouse. How could the Treasure Pavilion afford to offend such an existence?"

"I see." Bai Yuan nodded. "Then I'll go along with that. I'll return in ten days to collect the remaining Sun-Facing Grass."
