Blood Bone Realm Limit!

After forcing Taishu Yun to drink the half-bowl of Precious Blood, Taishu Jing released him and stepped aside.

"Father, Mother, what are you doing here?" Taishu Jing wiped his face with his sleeve.

Hurrying over to Taishu Jing, Jingyun crouched down and scrutinized him from left to right. Her face had gone pale. "Baby, why are you covered in blood? What happened?"

Seeing Taishu Jing's miserable state, Taishu Feng was badly startled as well. He looked as though he had just walked out of a pool of blood.

"I'm fine. It's all waste blood," Taishu Jing explained.

"Waste blood?"

Taishu Feng and Jingyun exchanged a glance, then carefully examined the blood on Taishu Jing's body. Red was mixed with gray, devoid of vitality. It did indeed appear to be waste blood.

But where had so much waste blood come from out of nowhere?

"Ah, Mother, Father, stop guessing. Just look at my brother and you'll understand."

Taishu Jing felt that explaining it would be too troublesome. Once they witnessed Taishu Yun's transformation process, they would understand.

Taishu Yun suddenly sprang up from the ground. His whole body was burning hot, his face flushed red, and he felt as though he were about to catch fire.

Remembering Taishu Jing's method, he began practicing the Ascending Dragon Fist as well, drawing Heaven and Earth Essence into his body to temper the bones and blood within him, accelerating the refinement of the Precious Blood.

"Yun'er, this is...?"

Taishu Feng frowned. He could see that an enormous force was raging within Taishu Yun's body. This was the reaction of someone who had consumed some Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure—but where had such a treasure come from?

Taishu Feng did not remember giving them any Heavenly Materials or Earthly Treasures.

After a while, Taishu Yun became just like Taishu Jing. Blood began bursting from his body, along with fragments of waste bone shooting out. In an instant, he became a man of blood.

At the sight of this, Jingyun covered her mouth, nearly bursting into tears.

Taishu Yun's condition was indeed somewhat tragic!

Taishu Feng's brows were tightly furrowed as well. This process could no longer be stopped, and there was nothing they could do.

"Mother, Father, don't worry. I made it through, so my brother will definitely be fine too. He's the protagonist, after all."

Seeing the worry written all over their faces, Taishu Jing softened and offered a word of comfort.

"Wuwu!"

Hearing Taishu Jing's words, Jingyun pulled him into her arms and burst into tears. Seeing her son endure such agony, her heart felt as though it were being carved apart by knives.

Taishu Jing gently patted his mother's back. He could feel the love she held for him and his elder brother—warm and heavy beyond measure. For a moment, he did not know what to say.

Time slowly passed, and Taishu Yun's transformation proceeded smoothly.

Dragon roars rang out alongside a dragon's shadow. His Ascending Dragon Fist began to carry a peculiar charm, and the transformation was nearing its end.

Huff!

Taishu Yun was dyed red from head to toe with waste blood, his body covered in waste blood and fragments of waste bone. Like Taishu Jing, his Divine Body had also awakened.

He withdrew his power.

Walking over to Taishu Feng and the others, Taishu Yun wiped his face with his sleeve as well. "Father, Mother, I made you worry."

"It's good that you're all right."

Seeing that his eldest son was unharmed, Taishu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Taishu Yun's mother, Jingyun, had reddened eyes, with tear tracks still lingering on her face.

"Go wash yourselves. Your mother and I will wait here for your explanation," Taishu Feng said.

Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing nodded and hurried off to rinse themselves clean and change clothes.

After a while, the two brothers came out.

After their transformation, both of them carried an imposing aura. Their bodies even seemed to radiate a precious glow, giving off the feeling that they looked down upon all beneath heaven.

They came before Taishu Feng and Jingyun, knowing that they were still waiting for an explanation.

Taishu Yun thought for a moment, then recounted everything from beginning to end.

Hearing Taishu Yun's account, Taishu Feng and Jingyun were both astonished. Their son had merely gone out for a stroll and encountered a treasure—moreover, the precious Beast King's Precious Blood. His luck was simply too good.

"Yun'er, Jing'er, you were still too impulsive. The Beast King's Precious Blood contains such immense energy. Swallowing it in one gulp and not exploding to death was a stroke of tremendous luck. Never do this again," Taishu Feng patiently cautioned them.

Taishu Yun could not help glancing at Taishu Jing. If he hadn't pinned me down and forced me to drink that bowl of Precious Blood, how could I possibly have swallowed it all in one gulp? It was all my little brother's fault.

Hey! So it's my fault?

A real man should down it in one go. Besides, no matter how much you mess around, you won't die. You're the protagonist!

Taishu Jing caught his elder brother's look and did not feel that he had done anything wrong at all.

"Aren't we fine? Father, Mother, don't you want to see just how strong my brother and I have become?"

Taishu Jing said temptingly.

"Come. Let's see exactly how much strength you gained after consuming the Precious Blood," Taishu Feng said with interest.

The four of them arrived at the Martial Arts Arena.

"I'll go first." Taishu Jing walked up to the stone stele and slapped it with his palm.

Dong!

Words lit up on the stone stele, and an astonishing number came into view.

"108,000 Jin!"

Taishu Feng stared in stunned disbelief. He rubbed his eyes and looked several times more carefully. There was no mistake—it was 108,000 Jin.

Only a few hours ago, his strength had been five hundred jin. Now, in a single leap, he had reached the limit of the Blood Bone Realm. This was practically flying into the heavens!

This time, Jingyun could not help being shocked as well. The change before and after was far too great. What the two brothers had consumed was surely not Precious Blood, but Divine Blood.

"Hehe, I reached the limit so quickly. Not bad. Brother, it's your turn."

Taishu Jing found it perfectly normal. That was the Precious Blood of the ancient ferocious beast, the Sky Swallowing Howl. Added to the awakening of their Divine Bodies, it would have been strange if they had not achieved this much.

Taishu Yun also walked eagerly up to the stone stele and threw a punch. The same number appeared.

Still 108,000 Jin!

"This..."

Taishu Feng was already speechless. Two brothers in a row had reached the Blood Bone Realm limit. This was a miracle that had not appeared in the Taishu Family for nearly a hundred years!

"Brother, before long, we'll be invincible throughout the Great Marsh of Cloud Dream," Taishu Jing declared with heroic vigor, his spirit soaring to the heavens.

Taishu Yun shook his head.

"Jing, no matter how strong we are, we're still only in the Blood Bone Realm. We still have a long road ahead."

Hearing Taishu Yun's words, Taishu Feng nodded in satisfaction. "Yun'er is right. The Blood Bone Realm is only the beginning. Jing'er, you should learn more from your brother."

Fine, then!

You've both finished showing off!

Taishu Jing closed his mouth and said nothing.

"My treasures, since you have completed cultivation in the first realm so quickly, Mother will tell you about the cultivation beyond the Blood Bone Realm," Jingyun said, her face full of affection as she looked at the two brothers.

"After the Blood Bone Realm comes the Spirit Vein Realm."

"In the Spirit Vein Realm, one condenses spiritual power and opens the 108 Spirit Veins throughout the body. Opening 36 Veins is Lesser Accomplishment, 72 Veins is Greater Accomplishment, and 108 Veins is perfection."

"Once the first Spirit Vein is opened, the Dantian will be connected through, allowing it to store items. At the same time, you will begin nurturing your own Spirit Weapon."

"After the Spirit Vein Realm comes the Soul Palace Realm."

"In the Soul Palace Realm, one opens a Soul Palace at the Divine Court. Soul Palaces are divided from first to ninth grade. With every additional grade, the Soul Palace rises another level. Beyond the ninth grade, there is also the supreme grade."

"After the Soul Palace Realm comes the Dao Foundation Realm."

"In the Dao Foundation Realm, one can fly through the air. Anyone who cultivates to this realm must begin to comprehend themselves, understand their own Dao, lay down a solid Dao foundation, and condense Dao Law Runes in preparation for the next realm."

"After the Dao Foundation Realm comes the Inscription Realm. Mother does not know much about it. I only know that one inscribes Dao Law Runes into the body and into Spirit Weapons, becoming one with the Dao and the self. As for the realms beyond that, Mother does not know."

Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing listened intently.

The Blood Bone Realm, Spirit Vein Realm, Soul Palace Realm, Dao Foundation Realm, and Inscription Realm—stretching out before them was a cultivation road filled with boundless passion.

"Thank you, Mother," Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing said in unison.

Jingyun smiled gently and stroked the two brothers' heads. "Yun'er, Jing'er, you are dragons. The Taishu Family is only a pond; it cannot hold you. The world outside is your stage."

Looking at his two sons, still so young yet already having traveled roads that many ordinary people could not finish in a lifetime, Taishu Feng could do nothing but sigh in wonder.

"Even the cubs of Ancient Beast Kings may be no more than this."

"Mother, how does one nurture a Spirit Weapon in the Spirit Vein Realm?" Taishu Jing asked.

"First, you must find suitable materials to forge a Spirit Weapon. For example, Deep Sea Silver, Blazing Sun Fire Gold, Earth Black Gold, Yin-Yang Divine Stone, and other famous Divine Materials. But Divine Materials like these are far too rare, and many people can only use inferior materials."

"When you find Divine Materials in the future, you can melt them into your Spirit Weapon," Jingyun added.

Got it!

Taishu Jing pondered whether he should take his elder brother out to stroll the streets again. Perhaps they might pick up some Divine Material for forging Spirit Weapons.

"Ahem, Yun'er, Jing'er, there is half a cubic measure of Star Iron in the family storeroom. Though it cannot compare to Divine Materials, it is still a fine material for forging Spirit Weapons," Taishu Feng said.

Taishu Yun and Taishu Jing's eyes lit up. Star Iron truly was a good material.
