Chapter 306: Dragon Bloodline? Tremor

Another three days passed.

The Ascending Dragon Pool and Mother showed no reaction; each had their own pool, forming a kind of tacit understanding, and neither broke their balance.

On the contrary, that Dragon Might grew stronger; Mother's potent blood qi, acting as a Protector, gave Chen Chuyang a slight pressure, a very faint pressure.

Father Chen Yuan couldn't wait any longer; he entered the Formation, couldn't see his daughter-in-law, and blurted out, "Son, where's your mother?"

"Here."

Chen Yuan's eyes widened as he looked at the blood-red cocoon before him, covered in blood, as if silk threads were wrapped together.

It wasn't blood, but rather like silk spat out by some creature, tangled together, mutually… winding, mutually wrapping.

Inside the Ascending Dragon Pool, blood kept welling up, condensing into blood threads that surged toward where Mother Long Ming was, a continuous flow of energy sustaining her absorption.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan felt astonished—his wife of many years, with whom he'd shared a bed, actually hid a secret.

This secret seemed not so simple.

The more he looked, the more shocked and fearful Chen Yuan felt.

That aura made him sense danger, mortal danger; he had always thought his wife mysterious, full of secrets he couldn't uncover, and after checking all her information he found nothing concrete, as if she didn't exist in this world; after searching for so long with no results, he eventually gave up.

He forgot about this matter; over the years, his wife had always been by his side, playing the role of a wife.

He tended to his husband and children, living a happy, fulfilling life.

Their three children grew up, and Chen Yuan felt content; he had always thought his wife would run away, but in the end she didn't—she stayed by his side.

The changes before him made him worry, and that uneasy feeling rose again in his heart.

His wife—could it be?

"Son, could your mother…?"

He didn't want his son to see his inner worry, but he was indeed worried.

Chen Chuyang saw his father's inner worry and laughed helplessly: "Father, rest assured—what you fear won't happen."

"Mother's fine; it's just a bloodline surge, a normal occurrence."

For many years, Mother's health has been poor.

It's both a bloodline issue and a bodily issue.

Mother's body is injured, seriously so.

This time, she's recovering.

The Ascending Dragon Pool's energy continually enters her body, bit by bit repairing her bloodline and body.

Meridians and flesh are healing, with a surge of vitality flowing in.

Chen Chuyang felt Mother's body growing stronger, this strengthening rapid and fierce.

Chen Yuan's thoughts differed; he was shocked and worried.

Clenching his fists, after condensing the pellet, he felt worry for the first time.

"Chuyang, is your mother really alright?"

"It's fine, Father; don't worry, I'm here."

Chen Chuyang pressed down his hand, gesturing that Father needn't worry.

Two hours passed.

Chen Yuan grew impatient, pacing back and forth.

He walked around Mother, stopping now and then to stare at the blood-red cocoon enveloping her.

He wanted to act, reaching out halfway, then pulling back.

Chen Chuyang watched silently, checking the Ascending Dragon Pool's energy, which was rapidly depleted.

He took out Wild Dragon Snake blood and poured it in.

At the same time, he transmitted true qi to speed up the Ascending Dragon Pool's transformation.

The Wild Dragon Snake blood was quickly purified, then entered Mother's body, accelerating the process.

Chen Yuan watched from the side, his face tense, continually staring.

At times he opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't get the words out.

He took a deep breath, looked at Chen Chuyang, and asked, "Son, you…"

"Hum."

Before he could speak, a strong surge burst from within the blood-red cocoon.

Storm, tremor.

Chen Yuan's body was swiftly flung backward; Chen Chuyang reached out to catch his father, his other hand pressing on the Ascending Dragon Pool.

He directly held down the Ascending Dragon Pool, suppressing its turmoil.

The blood-red cocoon split open, revealing the person inside.

Mother hovered in midair, silk threads entwining around her, countless streams of blood-red liquid entering her body.

Her aura erupted, burst after burst, shaking the Formation.

The Formation swayed on the verge of collapse, yet it did not fall.

Chen Chuyang maintained the Formation; this eruption lasted half an hour.

The blood-red threads around Mother snapped, returning to the Ascending Dragon Pool; Mother slowly descended, her clothes billowing up to cover her, her face now bearing an air of dominance and coldness.

At the same time, she gained a hint of majesty she had never possessed before.

Dragon Might shone brightly.

Father Chen Yuan felt a lingering fear, gazing at his now-strange wife, thousands of words on his lips but none spoken.

"Long Ming."

He let out a low shout; Chen Yuan felt uneasy and worried.

He clenched his fists, anxiously staring at his wife before him, so worried that she had changed and no longer recognized him as her husband.

Chen Chuyang looked at his father, amused, shook his head and said, "Father, it's your turn."

"What?"

"Go in." Chen Chuyang said irritably, "Otherwise, why did I bring you up the mountain?"

Chen Yuan pointed at Long Ming and said, "I haven't even met your mother yet; what if she doesn't want me—what should I do?"

As he said that, his father's face was full of resentment.

"Alright, hurry up and go in."

Chen Chuyang didn't give him a chance to speak and kicked his father in with one foot.

"Plop."

Upon entering the Ascending Dragon Pool, Father Chen Yuan still wanted to speak, but soon he could not speak at all.

His face flushed red, his body swelling with red, he opened his mouth but could not speak.

Crimson liquid covered him, and Chen Chuyang could no longer see his father's figure.

Looking again at his mother before him, Father inside the Ascending Dragon Pool had already begun cultivating, accepting the pool's transformation.

In the end, the remaining energy was enough for Father to absorb.

They stopped feeding fresh Wild Dragon Snake blood into it, lest it be wasted, and let the Ascending Dragon Pool transform on its own.

He turned around and fixed his gaze on his mother before him.

Long Ming opened his eyes, a smile flickering across them, flew straight to Chen Chuyang, opened his arms, giving him no chance to react, and embraced his son.

"Hahaha, good boy, fine son, you truly are your mother's lucky star."

"Mother feels wonderful; you've been too good to her."

If Chen Chuyang hadn't grown up, Long Ming would have wanted to kiss this precious son a few times.

The effect of the Ascending Dragon Pool was too good; it was completely absorbed, his body taking in a great deal.

Her injured body partially healed, her origin partially repaired; once her body was healed, it could then heal itself automatically.

Not like before, when it couldn't be repaired and only worsened bit by bit.

Now she saw a glimmer of hope, and that hope grew ever larger.

After a few more soakings, she guaranteed her wounds would soon heal.

"Your Ascending Dragon Pool works too well—why not let Mother use it for a while?"

Chen Chuyang pushed his mother away, unaccustomed to being held by her.

"Cough, cough, you can't take the Ascending Dragon Pool away; it's fused with Longshe Shan—unless you could move the whole mountain."

Long Ming: "……"

Her expression instantly turned aggrieved, tears ready to fall at any moment.

One has to admit, this acting is truly badass.

"Mother, you needn't be like this; the Ascending Dragon Pool truly can't be given to you—even if it were, you couldn't use it, for its energy is exhausted and needs time to accumulate."

Long Ming frowned and asked, "About how long?"

"If we let the Ascending Dragon Pool recover on its own, only one person can absorb its energy per year."

"What if we input enough raw materials?" Long Ming asked again.

The raw materials are naturally flesh and blood; corpses of various monsters will do, best if they are monsters with dragon blood, for the best effect.

The Ascending Dragon Pool can melt and transform automatically.

Chen Chuyang thought and said, "That depends on what kind of raw materials can speed up the pool's absorption and transformation rate."

"Mother, what you need requires at least three years of accumulation."

Long Ming: "???"
