Chapter 571: Blood Demon Ancestor

"It seems I failed to obtain the recognition of the Heavenly Mandate, but it doesn't matter."

Lin Jing looked at the direction where the Heavenly Mandate returned. That direction... could it be that Zhu Yan?

Lin Jing didn't have a bad impression of this Zhu Yan.

But unfortunately, in the battle for the Heavenly Mandate, only one person was destined to be the master of the Heavenly Mandate. He couldn't just give up this Heavenly Mandate based on a first impression.

"The other person should also be on the move, right?"

He didn't rush to Long Hushan, but looked to the West, already vaguely perceiving a tyrannical aura no longer being concealed, rushing straight towards this side.

"Since that's the case, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight first, and let me see what kind of changes a Ancestor Kong Xuan stage cultivator's strength can undergo after receiving the Heavenly Mandate's blessing."

On Zhu Yan's side, after fusing with the Heavenly Mandate, his talent and potential were greatly changed.

His expression was surprised.

The first thing that changed was the side effect brought by the Long-Lived Body, the cultivation speed problem.

After the Heavenly Mandate improved Zhu Yan's talent, his cultivation speed increased significantly, giving Zhu Yan a feeling that his cultivation speed had become no different from an ordinary constitution!

Although it didn't have a huge bonus to cultivation speed like some special cultivation constitutions, being able to return to a normal cultivation speed for a Long-Lived Body with a long lifespan was already a huge enhancement!

From now on, he no longer needed to consume dozens of times more resources than ordinary people to cultivate!

This was the manifestation of talent change.

Besides this, Zhu Yan also felt that he had obtained a new constitution, let's call it the "Heavenly Mandate Body".

This constitution instantly strengthened Zhu Yan's own Dao to an unparalleled degree.

"The Dao of Gratitude." Zhu Yan's Dao was the Dao of Gratitude. The mark of a Ancestor Kong Xuan cultivator stepping into the late Ancestor Kong Xuan stage was finding the Dao that supported his own cultivation, using the Dao heart and will to transform into the Heavenly Dao of the Ancestor Kong Xuan Domain to complete the process of merging with the Dao.

The gap between early and mid Ancestor Kong Xuan might not be large, but against a late Ancestor Kong Xuan cultivator who had already merged with the Dao, the gap was not just a little bit. Unless there were other extraordinary means such as top-level spells or top-grade magic treasures to level the gap, it was difficult to be an opponent of the late Ancestor Kong Xuan stage.

Zhu Yan had been an orphan since childhood, adopted and taught Daoist methods by his master. After falling seriously ill, he was carefully taken care of by various senior brothers who had already embarked on the cultivation path. He was very grateful to his sect.

After transmigrating, although the cultivation world he transmigrated to was relatively safe compared to other cultivation worlds, as a Long-Lived Body, Zhu Yan's start was not smooth either, and he was very embarrassed all the way.

Until he was favored by a Questioning Dao cultivator, became his disciple, and was protected by the other party for thousands of years.

The other party also provided countless cultivation resources. Although the other party might just want to cultivate a perfect Long-Lived Body in his lifetime so that he could help protect his descendants and sect in the next hundreds of thousands of years, Zhu Yan was still very grateful that the other party could extend a helping hand when he was at his weakest.

Only after experiencing bumps did one know the goodness of stability. Without his master saying it himself, Zhu Yan chose the "Dao of Gratitude" to merge with the Dao to show that his master had not wasted his cultivation, and next, he would repay the other party's kindness and protect the other party's family and sect for generations.

Hum!

After Zhu Yan's Dao of Gratitude was strengthened by the Heavenly Mandate Body, his realm quickly improved and reached the late Ancestor Kong Xuan stage in an instant without any obstacles.

In this state, Zhu Yan even wanted to impact the Questioning Dao realm in one breath to verify whether his Dao was firm and powerful enough.

However, there was no time for him to break through now. Zhu Yan flew out of Long Hushan and flew straight into the starry sky. As expected, he judged that the other two transmigrators must have already set their sights on him.

Next, a great battle would definitely occur. This battlefield could not be carried out in the place where he was born and raised, so as not to affect the innocent.

A moment later, Zhu Yan arrived in the starry sky. In this process, Zhu Yan was surprised to find that what was also improved at the same time seemed to be his spells.

He mainly cultivated talisman Dao and thunder methods, and had refined more than a dozen different types of lightning. Today, with the Heavenly Mandate in his body, he discovered that the origins of these lightning bolts were rapidly changing, containing Heavenly Intent. Regardless of the initial quality, they were all evolving towards more tyrannical immortal-grade lightning, and the power of each began to be no less than the immortal's tribulation lightning.

Obtaining more than a dozen immortal-grade lightning bolts in an instant made Zhu Yan feel the rapid increase in strength. So when he looked at the old monster in the mid-Questioning Dao stage descending before him, he didn't panic.

Under the strengthening of the thunder power, Zhu Yan's spiritual sense power also greatly improved, seeing through the old man's true cultivation at a glance... as well as the thick evil aura on the other party.

"Late Ancestor Kong Xuan, huh." At the same time, seeing that the Heavenly Mandate Person only had late Ancestor Kong Xuan cultivation, the Tang-suited old man couldn't help but smile and said: "Little friend, nice to meet you. Let me tell you a story."

"Once, there was a rich man who thought money could buy anything. However, until he got old, his body failed, and he suffered from various illnesses, he discovered that money couldn't buy his health and lifespan."

"He spent all his wealth and went abroad to seek the best medical facilities. Unfortunately, it didn't let him last long."

"But fortunately, this rich man accidentally transmigrated to a cultivation world. From then on, his luck became unstoppable. Not only because of the activation of the Long-Lived Body, he regained a huge lifespan, but he also encountered a dying Questioning Dao demon cultivator 'Blood Demon Ancestor'. The 'Blood Demon Ancestor' wanted to possess him, but because his state was extremely poor, plus the rich man carried a protective immortal artifact brought from the ancient Immortal World, in the process of possessing him, he became nourishment instead, and the possession failed."

"From then on, with the memories of a Questioning Dao demon cultivator, this rich man understood that in this cultivation world, if a Long-Lived Body wants to survive, it must use any means, no matter how despicable the method... only in this way can he achieve his goal."

"Do you understand now."

The old man in the gray Tang suit stared into Zhu Yan's eyes and said: "Running to the starry sky so anxiously actually exposed yourself. You are worried that we would hurt some people you care about on Earth in the process of competing for the Heavenly Mandate, right?"

"Even if you have already fused with the Heavenly Mandate, my realm is still higher than yours. If I forcibly transfer the battlefield to China, what will you do about your previous place of seclusion?"

Zhu Yan took a deep breath, his eyes revealing anger.

"After cultivating for so long, you still haven't been able to abandon the mortal world and love. You are not suitable to be a Heavenly Emperor to cut down all Heavenly Demons. Honestly hand over the Heavenly Mandate. Even a common demon cultivator like me cannot be dealt with, so you are destined not to complete the Heavenly Emperor's mission. Little friend... this way, it's good for both of us, how about it?" ===== CHAPTER 572 =====
