Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 794 - 792: The Mighty Blood Soul Transformation!
After closing the courtyard gate, Luo Feng walked to the center of the courtyard, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes, looking inward.
The twelve awakened Four Spirit Rotations within his body were rapidly absorbing the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth. His Origin Yuan Qi was growing, strand by strand.
A moment later, Luo Feng opened his eyes and murmured to himself,
It seems difficult to improve my cultivation in a short time. Perhaps I should first practice Divine Dragon Nine Changes...
Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng took out the Secret Manual of the Divine Dragon Nine Changes Cultivation Technique.
On the yellowed animal hide, a nine-clawed golden dragon glared with wide, furious eyes, exuding an endless majesty.
Taking another deep breath, Luo Feng’s gaze fell upon the eyes of the nine-clawed golden dragon.
HUM!
The moment their gazes met, Luo Feng felt a vast consciousness surge into his mind. Instantly, a series of images appeared in his consciousness.
There were nine images in total. The first, radiant with flames, detailed the cultivation method for Spiritual Transformation. The other eight, as before, were shrouded in black mist, their contents obscured. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Now that I have perfected the Spirit and Flesh Unity through Spiritual Transformation, I should be qualified to begin cultivating the second change.
Luo Feng pondered, focused his mind, and gazed at the second image.
CRACK!
When Luo Feng’s spiritual power made contact with the second image, the black mist enveloping it began to gradually dissipate, revealing a dragon-shaped diagram beneath. Simultaneously, a series of sounds, like great bells or resonant chimes, vibrated in his mind, buzzing loudly.
"Control the body with dragon essence, guide Qi to transform into a dragon. One dragon empowers the body, becoming peerless and unstoppable. When nine dragons emerge, they condense into True Yuan... The second change of Divine Dragon Nine Changes: Blood Soul Transformation!"
Waves of abstruse cultivation text flooded Luo Feng’s mind, shaking his spirit profoundly.
According to the description of Blood Soul Transformation, this second change allows one to cultivate nine dragon-shaped Qi channels. With each additional dragon-shaped Qi channel, one’s Yuan Qi becomes twice as condensed. If all nine dragon-shaped Qi channels are cultivated, one’s strength will be nine times that of a Martial Artist at the same level!
And this wasn’t what excited Luo Feng the most. When Blood Soul Transformation reached its highest realm, Nine Dragons Return Yuan, one could refine a strand of supreme True Yuan!
It can actually refine a strand of True Yuan! If I can master this Blood Soul Transformation, figures like Young Master Xi would not be worthy of fear! Lu Xiao Yun would also lose without a doubt, unless he advances into the True Yuan Realm!
Luo Feng’s spirit brimmed with excitement.
It was crucial to understand that only Martial Artists in the True Yuan Realm could cultivate True Yuan. Before this realm, Martial Artists cultivated Yuan Qi. Though only a single character different in their names, the difference in power was like heaven and earth. Even a single strand of True Yuan could make one invincible against any Martial Artist below the True Yuan Realm, capable of repelling all their attacks!
A moment later, Luo Feng gradually calmed down.
Considering how difficult the first change, Spiritual Transformation, had been to cultivate, the second, Blood Soul Transformation, would undoubtedly be even more arduous! Attaining the realm of Nine Dragons Return Yuan was by no means an easy task.
I have to take it one step at a time. Let’s first cultivate Blood Soul Transformation to the first level!
Luo Feng put away the Divine Dragon Nine Changes Secret Manual, took a deep breath, and immediately began to cultivate according to the Dharma Jue of Blood Soul Transformation.
「The Deliberation Hall of Linglong Hall.」
Ling Qingwu had already informed Shui Linglong about everything that had transpired on their journey.
"Hmph. I initially suspected Xue Wu Qing was plotting against me, but considering he was also from one of the Twelve Golden Palaces, I thought he wouldn’t stoop to such actions. I never expected him to actually collude with those fiends from the Demon Sect..."
Shui Linglong held the map marking the Demon Sect strongholds, her gaze icy. As she spoke, her aqua-blue dress stirred without any wind, flowing like water ripples, and a frigid aura permeated the hall.
"Second Hall Master, what should we do now?" Ling Qingwu asked.
Shui Linglong’s willow-like brows furrowed. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Since Xue Wu Qing has already met his end, this matter can be considered resolved. However, the Blood Demon Sect has killed several of our Golden Palace disciples this time, and we cannot let this account slide. We’ve obtained this map of their strongholds; we cannot simply sit back and allow them the opportunity to grow stronger. Otherwise, if a war were to break out between the Hundred Nations Territory and the West Desert Demon Realm in the future, the entire Canglang Dynasty could be destroyed overnight."
Lin Yue’er said, "Second Hall Master, do you mean we should destroy these Demon Sect strongholds?"
Shui Linglong nodded, "Yes. However, our Linglong Hall alone is far from enough. We must contact the other Golden Palaces to act together. I will immediately send out Spirit Mirrors to notify the other Golden Palace Hall Masters."
Saying this, Shui Linglong looked at the few people in the Golden Palace and said, "This matter is of great importance, and we must not leak any information, or all our efforts will be wasted. The Demon Sect’s arrangements were so meticulous that I suspect they have spies within the Golden Palaces. For now, refrain from telling anyone else."
"But such a large-scale operation will surely alert the enemy," Ling Qingwu mused aloud after a moment’s thought.
"That’s easily handled."
A chill in her eyes, Shui Linglong laughed coldly and said, "We will jointly organize a Hunting Meet with the Twelve Golden Palaces, to be held in half a month. I imagine those Demon Sect disciples won’t suspect that they are the prey this time."
Ling Qingwu nodded. Apart from the annual New Dragon Ranking Assembly, the Twelve Golden Palaces had jointly organized competitions before, so this should be enough to mislead any observers.
After contemplating for a moment, Shui Linglong said to Ling Qingwu, "Ling Qingwu, immediately send out the Spirit Mirrors and recall all the Inner Sect Disciples who are out on missions."
"Only recall the Inner Sect Disciples?" Ling Qingwu asked.
Shui Linglong nodded. "Judging from your encounters with the Demon Sect disciples, those stationed at their strongholds are no ordinary individuals. It would be too dangerous for Outer Sect Disciples. Also, notify Luo Feng and tell him to prepare as well. This kind of life-and-death tempering is a rare opportunity and will be highly beneficial for him."
"Yes!"
WHOOSH!
With a wave of her hand, Shui Linglong threw a jade token to Ling Qingwu, saying, "Luo Feng’s contribution in obtaining this map is immense. Give him this Yao Light Jade Token. With it, he can go to the third floor of the Lingxiao Pavilion and select any Secret Manual to cultivate."
"Yao Light Jade Token!"
Seeing the azure jade token in Ling Qingwu’s hand, the eyes of Lin Yue’er and Fang Lin flickered.
This token granted access to the third floor of the Lingxiao Pavilion, where the archives housed exceptional Profound Level Secret Manuals, each one incomparably precious. Ordinarily, only the top ten elite Inner Sect Disciples had the right to ascend to the third floor. Otherwise, one had to make an immense contribution to the Golden Palace to earn such a privilege.
Though they had been promoted to Inner Sect Disciples for several months now, they could only access the second floor of the Lingxiao Pavilion.
However, neither of them was surprised by Shui Linglong’s decision.
Luo Feng had obtained such a crucial map of the Demon Sect strongholds; his immense contribution naturally warranted access to the third floor of the Lingxiao Pavilion.
At this moment, Shui Linglong spoke again, "You have also made contributions this time. Each of you may go and collect ten Yuanxu Pills."
"Thank you, Second Hall Master!"
Upon hearing this, expressions of pleasant surprise appeared on the faces of Lin Yue’er and the others.
Yuanxu Pills were fourth-grade Spiritual Medicines, highly beneficial for the cultivation of Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artists. Although their reward couldn’t compare to Luo Feng’s, it was still quite generous.
"Alright. The battle in half a month will undoubtedly be perilous. You should all use this time to cultivate diligently."
After saying this, Shui Linglong turned and walked towards the inner part of the great hall. She had heard of Luo Feng’s arrival and had initially intended to see him, but there was no time for that now.
The discovery of the Demon Sect strongholds was a matter of utmost importance. She had to quickly inform the other Golden Palace Hall Masters, discuss countermeasures, and decide on the timing of the attack on the strongholds, aiming to catch the Demon Sect completely by surprise!
