Daqin Zhentiansi

The dark red sword shadow suddenly split into billions of fine, hair-like, yet extremely refined dark red light threads.

These filaments of light pierced into each fragment of the pit cone with unparalleled precision, like the most skilled weaver repairing a broken work of art.

The remaining laws on the fragments were forcibly sorted, corrected, and repaired by the light threads, and the annihilated spirituality was rekindled under the infusion of the power of the Immortal-Trapping Sword's origin!
"Om-"

Each metal fragment deeply embedded with the essence of earth resonated faintly under the chaotic power of the Immortal-Trapping Sword, like a sleeping star being illuminated.

The dull runes on it were like a dried-up riverbed being filled with fresh water, and they began to flow with a dark golden luster again.

Originating from the core of the single horn of the Pangolin clan, the grief and indomitable will rose like sediment, and under the guidance of the Immortal-Trapping Sword, it faintly condensed into an indomitable phantom, emitting a silent roar, as if telling of the overwhelming hatred of being slaughtered and forged by the Heavenly Palace.

This dormant will from eternity was awakened and merged with the newborn spirituality, causing the shattered cone to begin emitting a terrifying aura that was heavy, sharp, and filled with a vengeful will!
However, the pit cone shattered too badly, and a small, crucial piece was missing from its core—the single horn peak that symbolized the tragic fate of the Mountain-Piercing Stone Scale Clan!

The repair process was immediately hindered, and the flow of the optical fibers became sluggish.

"Snap—"

The entire sinkhole cone appears to be on the verge of shattering again.

Seeing this, Venerable Pan Yue and Elder Kui Yan exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with determination and a tragic sense of sacrifice for the future of their race.

The two shouted in unison, and the golden horn on their foreheads, which symbolized the power and dignity of the Huanglin clan, suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!
"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

With two soft sounds, the tips of the two unicorns, each about an inch long and flowing with the rich essence of the Earth element and the indomitable will of the fighting spirit, were broken off by them on their own!
At the cut, the golden blood was sealed by the powerful earth elemental force before it could seep out.

"Fire General! With this, we can complete the treasures left behind by our fallen clan!"

Pan Yue's voice was resounding as he pushed the unicorn fragment, which was radiating a scorching heat, toward the center of the repair light array.

A hint of respect flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes, and he nodded, saying, "Good!"

"Zheng—"

The light threads of the Immortal-Trapping Sword immediately wrapped around the two fresh, vibrant yellow unicorn horns.

Under the tempering of the chaotic power of the Immortal-Trapping Sword, which transcends the laws of this world, the unicorn fragment instantly melted, transforming into two balls of the purest Earth Origin Liquid, flowing with dark gold patterns!

The liquid was precisely injected into the missing core of the sinkhole cone, achieving a perfect fusion!
"BOOM—!!!"

A roar, seemingly emanating from the depths of the primordial earth, resounded within the forbidden area!
The new Earth-Trapping Cone, larger and heavier than before, with runes interwoven with dark gold and earth yellow flowing throughout, was reborn in flames under the entanglement of the Immortal-Trapping Sword's light threads!

On the cone, the ancient Qilin stepping on the mountain pattern came to life, and a terrifying pressure more than ten times stronger than before suddenly erupted!
This oppressive aura contained both the devouring and succumbing intent of the Immortal-Trapping Sword, and a perfect fusion of the pure Earth Origin and indomitable battle spirit of the Huanglin Clan. It also faintly revealed a trace of the order and sharpness of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao's will!

The newly formed earth-shattering cone floated silently, with a dark light flowing at its tip, as if it could easily pierce through the stars and devour the earth!

It is no longer merely a tool of destruction, but also contains the supreme power of suppression, control, and reshaping!
Its natural, emanating aura alone was enough to make Venerable Huanglin such as Pan Yue and Kui Yan feel their blood resonate with it and tremble, as if they were facing a living, divine mountain with supreme will!

They were trembling with excitement, their eyes filled with fervor and awe as they looked at the new cone.

This item has become the new symbol and guardian artifact of the Huanglin clan!

powerful!
Incredibly powerful!

It's far stronger than they imagined!

Zhang Yuan waved his hand, and the shadow of the Immortal Trapping Sword dissipated. The newly formed Earth-Trapping Cone slowly fell back onto the stone platform. The divine object concealed itself, its power restrained, but its heart-pounding depth was deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

"With this as proof, the Huanglin clan can firmly guard their ancestral land and deter villains, perhaps making them 'fear them'?"

Zhang Yuan looked at the Vermilion Bird and Huang Lin elders, his voice calm yet brimming with unparalleled confidence.

Zhuque took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, and stared intently at Zhang Yuan with her golden-red eyes: "With such a powerful weapon and such methods... no wonder you dared to take such a drastic measure. Zhang Yuan, what kind of incredible world is the Great Qin behind you?"

Her question represented the turmoil in the hearts of everyone present.

Zhang Yuan did not answer directly, but instead turned his gaze to Elder Huang Lin: "Are the cultivation techniques and bloodline items ready?"

Venerable Pan Yue suppressed his turbulent emotions and solemnly presented an object with both hands.

It was a palm-sized, thick, ancient, earth-yellow scale, naturally covered with countless mysterious and complex runes, as if it carried all the secrets of the earth.

"Fire General, this is the 'Myriad Laws Earth Scale,' crafted from the molted life-bound reverse scale of our clan's Saint Realm elder. It contains all 379 earth-based cultivation techniques and supernatural secrets of our Yellow Lin clan, from basic breathing exercises to core secrets!"

Then, he carefully took out a treasure box carved from ten-thousand-year-old warm jade.

The moment the box was opened, a vast, pure, and powerful aura of bloodline energy, seemingly capable of resonating with the entire Zhenyue Mountain's geological veins, spread out.

Inside the box, a blood bead the size of a longan, perfectly round, and flowing with dark gold color and mysterious patterns floats quietly.

"This is the 'Ancestral Blood Bead'! It is the only remaining wisp of our clan's ancestral blood essence, condensed by the combined will of the entire clan and the essence of the Earth Divine Crystal! Its power... can reshape bloodlines and stabilize the universe! Our Huanglin clan entrusts this foundation of the future to the Fire Commander!"

The two precious treasures, carrying almost all the inheritance and the most core bloodline essence of the Huanglin clan, were solemnly handed over to Zhang Yuan.

The atmosphere within the forbidden area was extremely solemn.

All eyes were on Zhang Yuan, waiting for his next move.

With this newly forged divine cone, and with this foundation of inheritance and bloodline, Zhang Yuan's seemingly crazy strategy of "sharing bloodlines to benefit the masses" no longer seems to be a castle in the air.

----------------

Deep within Zhenyue Mountain lies the forbidden land of the Qilin.

Zhang Yuan sat cross-legged at the core node of the Wutu Divine Crystal Mine, holding in his palm the "Ancestral Lin Source Blood Pearl," which carried the profound heritage and bloodline origin of the Huanglin Clan.

The bead is perfectly round and smooth, with a dark golden radiance flowing slowly within it, outlining mysterious earth elemental runes.

A vast, pure, and powerful aura, seemingly capable of resonating with the pulse of the entire primordial land, spread out, creating a profound resonance with the chaotic divine demon body within Zhang Yuan's body.

"Om-"

Zhang Yuan's eyes were slightly closed, and the dark gold runes of the Chaos God and Demon Body flowed silently on his body surface, as if they were alive.

His divine sense, like the most precise carving knife, sank deep into the Ancestral Blood Pearl.

It is no longer a simple absorption or refining, but rather using the "Great Qin Origin Dao Scripture" as a bridge and the illusory image of the Great Dao Golden Pearl as a beacon to analyze, comprehend, and deduce the true meaning of the Earth Element Great Dao that originated from the beginning of the primordial world.

In that instant, he seemed to transform into the earth itself, sensing every breath of the earth's veins, every pulsation of the rock strata, and the birth and death of the earth element.

The essence of the 379 earth-based cultivation techniques and supernatural powers of the Huang Lin clan surged, collided, and merged in his sea of ​​consciousness like rivers flowing into the sea.

The profound mystery of the "Eight Desolations Formation of Suppressing Mountains" transmitted by Venerable Pan Yue, the earth elemental principle touched when the Earth Piercing Cone was broken and reshaped, and the ancestral will contained in the Ancestral Blood Pearl resonate with each other.

The Great Dao Golden Pearl spun wildly, and the Chaos God-Demon Body greedily absorbed the power of the Earth Element, transforming it into a part of its own foundation.

Countless fragments of the Earth element principles related to “bearing,” “nurturing,” “profound,” “sharp,” “sealing,” and “reshaping” were stripped away, refined, and recombined.

"The seventeenth level, the Realm of Great Virtue and Responsibility!" Zhang Yuan thought to himself.

Based on the body of a chaotic god and demon, it integrates the will of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao, absorbs the blood of the Ancestral Lin, and commands all kinds of earth-based techniques!

This realm is not merely about defense and strength, but also about the absolute control and creation of the earth's essence!
Mountains can be controlled, the earth's veins are as flexible as an arm, and the Qi of Earth can give birth to all things and also annihilate countless eons!

Its immense power and lofty aspirations have already subtly touched upon the authority of creation, far exceeding the previous understanding of the Huanglin clan!

"Boom—!!!"

Just as Zhang Yuan finished deducing the seventeenth layer of the Earth Vein Divine Power, a deep and magnificent resonance resounded throughout the entire Zhenyue Mountain region and even the wider prehistoric land!

It was as if the slumbering ancestral dragon of the earth's veins had been awakened, causing the mountains to tremble and the earth to undulate.

The invisible fluctuations of the Earth Element Law swept across millions of miles of territory like a tide, causing countless creatures to look up in shock. Those with profound cultivation were even more shaken, feeling a tremor and submission originating from the depths of their bloodline.

Outside the forbidden area, Venerable Huanglin felt the effects most strongly at places like Pan Yue and Kui Yan.

Their blood boiled, and as they gazed towards the forbidden area, their eyes were filled with unparalleled awe and ecstasy: "This...this pressure...Fire Commander...he's done it!"

……

In front of Tongyuan Trading Company in Panshifang Market.

The smoke of the great battle had not yet completely dissipated, but this strategically important market town was already eagerly displaying the hustle and bustle of survival and the new order.

Merchants gathered, and cultivators from various races moved about, but the atmosphere in the air was completely different.

The once arrogant managers of the Heavenly Palace background caravans have toned down their arrogance, while scouts and merchants from Bloodhoof Wasteland, Burial Bone Wasteland, and even more distant regions have increased, their eyes filled with inquiry and awe.

Elder Kuiyan of the Huanglin Clan, wearing brand-new ochre-yellow battle armor, had not yet fully recovered his peak aura, but his steps were steady and powerful, and the golden horn between his forehead shone brightly.

Behind him followed a squad of imposing yellow-clad warriors.

His arrival on the main street of the market immediately caused a sensation.

"Elder Kuiyan! Congratulations on the great victory of the Huanglin Clan! Tongyuan Trading Company has prepared a small gift for you, Elder!"

Qian Mantun was the first to greet them with a big smile. Behind him, his assistants carried several jade boxes brimming with spiritual energy, inside which were the top-grade "Life-Creating Pill" and "Earth Spirit Milk".

"The Bloodhoof War Elephant Clan, acting on the orders of their Chieftain Yanshan, has come to congratulate you on sweeping away all obstacles in the world and restoring your majestic authority! This mere 'Mysterious Magnetic Blood Crystal' is of little use!"

A burly man with an elephant's head and a human body respectfully presented a treasure box containing three fist-sized, blood-red crystals that emanated a strange force field and exuded a powerful aura.

"Black Swamp Python Clan..."

"The Green Mountain Fox Clan..."

In an instant, representatives from all sides flocked to the scene, and flattery and sycophancy filled the air as various rare resources, spiritual materials, and elixirs were respectfully presented.

Kuiyan remained calm, merely nodding slightly at the gifts from all sides, instructing his accompanying guards to accept them, and without saying a word, walked straight to the trading square at the very center of the market.

In the center of the square, the Yellow Scale Warriors had cleared an area and set up a simple yet imposing barrier.

Venerable Kuiyan stood still, his gaze sweeping over the growing crowd of onlookers, each with their own unique expression.

The commotion gradually subsided, and everyone held their breath, wondering what Elder Huang Lin, who had just made great contributions in battle, intended to do.

With a flick of his wrist, Venerable Kuiyan revealed a bead the size of a dragon's eye, perfectly round, and shimmering with dark gold and mysterious patterns.

These are diluted and condensed bloodline beads!

Although it was far less terrifying than the Ancestral Blood Bead, the pure earth element aura and the pressure of the Yellow Scale Bloodline it emitted instantly silenced the entire square!
"This is the 'Earth Bloodline Bead' refined by my Huanglin clan," Kuiyan's voice boomed, echoing in all directions, "containing a trace of pure Huanglin bloodline essence and the affinity of Earth. Today, we will trade here."

trade?!
These two words were like a thunderclap, leaving everyone stunned!

Divine Beast Bloodline!
The core heritage that all races of the primordial world cherish as their lifeblood and guard with the utmost vigilance!

The Huanglin Clan is actually going to offer it up for... a trade?!

After a brief silence, an unbelievable uproar erupted.

"Bloodline Beads?! A deal? Did I hear that right?"

"Has the Huanglin tribe gone mad?! They're not afraid..."

"This...this is impossible! Who would dare to buy it? Who would dare to use it?"

Qian Mantun's smile froze, the elephant demon sent by Yanshan stared wide-eyed, and even the spies from the forces observing in the shadows thought they had misheard.

Ignoring the reactions of the crowd, Venerable Kuiyan took out an ancient jade slip and placed it on a stone table that had been temporarily moved in front of him.

"Whoever purchases this Bloodline Bead," his voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable air, "will receive a set of this jade slip as a gift."

"The simplified version contains the first five levels of the Huanglin Diyuan Scripture, which are the foundational breathing, body tempering, and earth control techniques of our clan, and can directly reach the threshold of the Saint Realm."

"boom--!"

If trading bloodline beads is like a thunderclap, then the accompanying basic cultivation techniques of divine beasts is like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart!

"A cultivation technique?! A cultivation technique of the Huanglin clan?!" someone screamed.

"The first five levels... directly reach the threshold of the Holy Realm?!" More people began to breathe heavily.

Mythical Beast Techniques!

This is an unparalleled inheritance that countless human cultivators, and even powerful demon beasts, dream of but cannot obtain!

Its value, in some respects, even far exceeds that of the Bloodline Bead itself!

Because it represents a replicable path to power!
Finally, a bold demon cultivator could not contain himself and cautiously sent a wisp of his divine sense toward the jade slip.

Instantly, he trembled violently, his face flushed red, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently: "It's...it's really true! It's true! Qi-inducing tempering, earth element transport, elixir condensation and transformation...the meridians are clear, and the Daoist charm is innate! It's the true foundational method of divine beast inheritance!"

This confirmation was like igniting a powder keg!

"I want one! No, I want three!"

"Make way! I was here first! Spirit crystals! I have high-grade spirit crystals!"

"I'll pay three times the price! I want both the Bloodline Pearl and the cultivation technique!"

"The Li family of Panshi is willing to exchange 30% of their clan's mineral vein for ten Bloodline Beads!"

The situation spiraled out of control instantly! (End of Chapter)
