Chapter 675: Pangu Bloodline
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
Qin Yun stored away the other eight wisps of golden threads within a jade bottle, leaving only one wisp floating in front of him. He carefully observed it. The Heavenly Dao realm involved understanding the charms of the Heavenly Dao, Myriad Objects, and their interactions. Since Qin Yun had grasped three Great Dao of the Heavenly Dao, he was also able to understand something of the other Great Dao.
Although the natural mystical patterns contained within the golden thread powers were extremely profound, Qin Yun was still able to understand parts of it. For instance, there were the charms of the Great Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man within.
“Really fascinating…
“With such a bloodline, the originator of this bloodline must have had a terrifyingly powerful body. It must be someone who cultivated his body at the Heavenly Dao realm.” Qin Yun was astonished. In the Three Realms, the Dao Ancestors, Buddhist Ancestor, and Fiend Ancestor, including Goddess Nüwa, were not Heavenly Dao realms through the cultivation of their bodies.
The Physical Establishing Sage lineage was famous for being difficult to cultivate.
Even Qin Yun was impressed by the person of the Physical Establishing Sage lineage who reached the Heavenly Dao realm…
“That giant might have left his homeworld to venture into the spatial tide and ended up falling into the hands of the mysterious Fate,” thought Qin Yun. It was useless even if they had a strong backer. Heavenly Dao existences were unable to enter the spatial tide, so any talk of revenge was moot.
“This bloodline clearly comes from another universe,” thought Qin Yun. “However, the mystical patterns still contain all kinds of Great Dao.”
“Clearly, the Great Dao… exists in the Chaos and in other universe.”
There might be some differences in some lesser Daos.
For instance, there were some unique laws that appeared in the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss. Some of the extremely sinful figures would even become the most cherished of the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss. However, under the Three Realms’ laws, they would end up being suppressed.
And these unique laws of the Three Realms such as merit and sin, were useless in the Chaos.
As for Great Dao…
They existed in the Chaos to begin with. For instance, the Connate Cardinal treasures born out of the Chaos would contain a perfected Great Dao. The Great Dao that appeared in the Chaos was not usable in the Three Realms, but it was also usable in the Chaos and spatial tide. It was even usable in other universes. The only difference was that the cultivation systems of other universes might be different.
The Three Realms also had many cultivation systems. For instance, Daoism, Buddhism, Fiendish, Magi, etc. The sword immortal lineage, the talisman amulet lineage, and the rest all had their specialties.
It was very common for other universes to create their own cultivation systems.
But ultimately, the Great Dao were all interlinked.
“Stone from another mountain can still damage jade.” The more Qin Yun looked at the mystical patterns, the more he felt that he had found a treasure trove. The construction of the mystic patterns were nothing Qin Yun had ever seen before.
“I won’t be able to figure out much in a short period of time. I’ll still need lots of time.” Qin Yun took out a jade bottle and stored away the wisp.
At that moment, Yi Xiao asked with a smile, “Brother Yun, you were observing the bloodline powers for quite a while. Does it aid your cultivation?”
“Greatly.” Qin Yun nodded. “I just need to think about it carefully.”
“Okay.”
Yi Xiao could not help but say, “Brother Yun, the merit you received still isn’t enough for you to attain a Merit Cardinal treasure. What do you plan to do next?”
He had accumulated 95% to date. Even if he sacrificed the bloodline powers, it would only reach 97%.
It didn’t seem a lot, but that tiny bit… probably involved killing two to three perfected Great Dao experts from other universes.
“There’s no other choice. I’ll have to make another trip into the spatial tide,” said Qin Yun.
Yi Xiao revealed a look of worry.
“But it won’t be now,” said Qin Yun with a smile. “Don’t worry. There’s not much merit I’m lacking now. I just need to make one more trip to the spatial tide! I plan on studying this bloodline carefully first and figure out its charms so as to enhance my Sword Dao. The stronger I am, the more confident I will be when heading into the spatial tide again.
“I have a feeling…” Qin Yun looked at the jade bottle in his hand. “This bloodline power will be useful to my Misty Rain Array.”
“When do you plan on going?” pressed Yi Xiao.
“In the final thousand years,” said Qin Yun. He planned on cultivating for two thousand years, and the last thousand years was likely enough. Following that, he added, “Xiaoxiao, this bloodline power is extraordinary. I’ll have to pay my master a visit.”
Yi Xiao nodded as well as she watched Qin Yun tear through the sky.
…
Green Touring Palace, main hall.
Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor sat cross-legged as he watched his disciple enter.
“Master.” Qin Yun bowed reverently. “I have something to offer you.”
“Oh?” Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor was astonished as he smiled. “It looks like you scored quite a bit on your trip to the spatial tide.”
“Yes.”
Qin Yun nodded and did not elaborate. He flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle. As the jade bottle flew to Numinous Treasure, he said, “Master, please take a look.”
Numinous Treasure thought nothing of it either. He was knowledgeable and had headed to the spatial tide several times with the rest of the Three Pure Ones years ago. He had slain many experts from other universes. It was only after he reached the Heavenly Dao realm that he stopped going into the spatial tide again.
“Whoosh.” A golden thread flew out of the jade bottle.
Numinous Treasure looked over nonchalantly before his expression changed.
“This is…” Numinous Treasure looked carefully as his expression turned solemn.
“The bloodline power of a Heavenly Dao expert of the physical lineage,” Numinous Treasure muttered as his eyes lit up. He wore a look of delight as he immediately asked Qin Yun, “How did you get it? Tell me in detail.”
Qin Yun said reverently, “Master, on our trip to the spatial tide, we dealt with a giant who used a hammer on a floating mountain.”
“It’s him?” Numinous Treasure nodded slightly. The Three Realms had some intelligence about the spatial tide and understood the experts that entrenched themselves within. Although they had some intelligence, the experts of the Three Realms knew very well that these experts who dared made an ostentatious display of their entrenchment definitely had something backing them.
Therefore, most of the intelligence was superficial. No one dared to believed it fully.
For example, Qin Yun’s encounter showed a great difference between the intelligence and reality.
“Together with Rushou and Goumang, we discovered the true master of the floating mountain. It’s an expert from a different universe who calls himself Fate,” said Qin Yun. “Fate controls the bodies of 35 perfected Great Dao experts and had sent all of them to attack us. The giant who used the hammer is only one of the 35.”
“He controls that many perfected Great Dao experts?” Numinous Treasure was somewhat astonished. “Perhaps he enslaved many of the Great Dao experts in his homeworld before going to the spatial tide. To capture thirty plus in the spatial tide is very unlikely.”
“A number of them must have been from his homeworld.” Qin Yun nodded in agreement. “These 35 who were under his control were all of ordinary perfected Great Dao strength except for one being at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm. Apart from a few having unique attacks, the rest were relatively mediocre. In the Three Realms, they would be among the weakest perfected Great Dao experts. Therefore, I was able to defend against their collective assault with the Misty Rain Realm. After killing three, we were lucky to flee successfully.”
Numinous Treasure nodded and said, “This bloodline power stems from one of the three?”
“Yes, the giant who uses the hammer,” Qin Yun said. “When I sacrificed the giant’s body to the Three Realms, destroying his body was rather difficult. However, I discovered wisps of this bloodline power hidden within his body.”
Numinous Treasure was enlightened. “I see.
“Disciple, your luck is good indeed. You actually managed to discover the bloodline powers of a Heavenly Dao realm expert in the spatial tide.” Numinous Treasure smiled at Qin Yun. “I had ten plus encounters with enemies back in the spatial tide, but never had such a harvest.”
“It was all luck,” Qin Yun said. Indeed, he was lucky. He did not discover anything special from the other two corpses.
“To be from the Physical Establishing Sage lineage while reaching the Heavenly Dao realm. That’s indeed difficult,” said Numinous Treasure. “What we know is that only Pangu reached this realm. However, Pangu did not have children. He was born out of a Chaos Azure Lotus and at his birth, he split open the Three Realms. He gave up his life to do so.
“We have also been searching for the remnant bloodline power of his,” Numinous Treasure said with a laugh. “Every faction has also studied and cultivated in it. For instance, Dharmic formulations like the Eight-Nine Arcane Art or the Twelve Capital Heavens were all figured out from the bloodline powers left behind by Pangu.”
Qin Yun was enlightened.
Now, you have discovered the bloodline powers of a Heavenly Dao realm expert of the physical lineage. Comparing it with the Pangu bloodline powers will be of great help to me,” Numinous Treasure said. “The other Heavenly Dao realm experts and I are also pondering over physical cultivation. After all, we would be traveling the Chaos in the future. Physical Dharmic formulations would be rather important.”
Qin Yun nodded. However, he was an Itinerant Immortal and had an Essence Soul for his body. Therefore, he was not suited to cultivate his body.
However, he could still study the charms within to fuse into his sword array.
“Since you have given this to me, this Pangu bloodline power is yours.” Numinous Treasure smiled and threw a black bottle to Qin Yun.
“Okay.” Qin Yun did not reject it as he respectfully received it.
Numinous Treasure exhorted, “Remember, the Pangu’s bloodline power is more about immense strength! As for the bloodline power you brought back, it’s more about defense. The two take different directions, so when it comes to your Misty Rain Array, the Pangu bloodline powers might aid your offensive means. As for the study of the bloodline powers of the other-universe expert, it might be helpful to the defensive means of your Misty Rain Array.”
Qin Yun immediately said, “I’ve seen it and also noticed that it would be helpful to my Misty Rain Array.”
“Now, the most pressing issue for you is to transcend the tribulations. Therefore, studying the bloodline powers of the other-universe expert is of utmost priority! After you transcend the Itinerant Immortal tribulations, you can study the Pangu bloodline powers. As a sword immortal… your offensive means needs to be strengthened,” said Numinous Treasure.
“I understand, Master,” replied Qin Yun.
“You may leave.” Numinous Treasure nodded. After Qin Yun left, he took out the golden thread and began carefully studying it.
