Chapter 282: Saint-Level Power

Even at his age, Ye Liuyun is being called short‑sighted for the first time, yet against these great beings he has no right to argue.

Even his proud Soul is insignificant before these giant dragons; each dragon's Soul is several times stronger than his, so he obediently demonstrates his body techniques, fist style, sword style, finger style, and his Soul domain.

After he finishes the demonstration, several dragons keep praising, "Hmm, not bad. For your age and realm, having these abilities is rare. No wonder you made it to us."

Finally, the golden dragon says, "You have seven days here; each day one of us will guide you. How much you learn depends on you. Today is day one, and I will first help you boost your Bloodline Power."

"May I spend more time cultivating Bloodline Power and Physical Body?" Ye Liuyun asks. He had thought he had already brought those two to their peak, but now it seems they are still far off.

"Of course you can, but I think keeping them balanced is better. Let's try it first," the golden dragon says.

The purple dragon also took Lei Ming away. Bai Hu and Ru Yue were taken by the white dragon for instruction; Wu Qingcheng and Yu Er were taken by a blue giant dragon. Shi Yuan followed the black dragon to cultivate.

Everyone chose a corner and dispersed.

The golden dragon explains to Ye Liuyun, "Your current power is at the mortal level. Of course, once you reach the Holy Realm, your power will change gradually. My goal is to help raise your Bloodline and Physical Body power to the Saint level."

Ye Liuyun nods in understanding.

"Your Bloodline is the primary foundation, so we start by enhancing it. However, Bloodline improvement is relatively slow. I will give you a drop of divine dragon essence; focus on absorbing and refining it."

Saying so, the golden dragon wraps the drop in True Essence and hands it to Ye Liuyun.

Through the True Essence barrier, Ye Liuyun feels the terrifying Bloodline Power contained in the drop.

"Is this a divine‑level Bloodline?" Ye Liuyun swallows, asking in surprise.

"Correct. It is my essence blood from when I was alive," the golden dragon nods.

"So the senior was a divine dragon before?" Ye Liuyun asks, surprised again.

"Of course!" the golden dragon replies proudly.

"But since the senior was a divine dragon, why did he fall here?" Ye Liuyun is puzzled.

The golden dragon sighs, then says softly, "Your understanding is limited; many things you don't know. Even gods can fall. Our affairs are useless to tell you. Stop worrying and cultivate quickly!"

Finding Ye Liuyun agreeable, the golden dragon casually says, "Leave your sword with me, and I'll strengthen it for you."

"Much obliged, senior!" Ye Liuyun says, taking down the Demon Slaying Sword.

The golden dragon's Soul directly envelops the Demon Slaying Sword, causing it to glow with Golden Light.

Ye Liuyun immediately sits cross‑legged and begins refining the drop of divine dragon essence. The Bloodline power is so strong that even he cannot speed it up.

"At this rate, refining one drop per day would be fast enough! No, I'll try Xuan Kong Shi; if it works here, my speed will increase, allowing me to refine several drops."

Thinking that, he takes out the Xuan Kong Shi.

The golden dragon looks at the Xuan Kong Shi and, surprised, remarks, "Huh? You still have such a treasure? No wonder you're the chosen one!"

"Chosen one? He probably means the Ten Thousand Gods Command selected me!" Ye Liuyun thinks to himself.

But he says nothing, enters the Xuan Kong Shi, and begins refining. After finishing, he emerges, takes another drop, and returns to refine.

In this way, over two days, Ye Liuyun spent twenty days inside the Xuan Kong Shi, refining twenty drops of divine dragon essence. He felt his Bloodline Power markedly increase. He unleashed an Overbearing Heaven Fist, thunder‑fire splitting the heavens, and with only a fraction of his Bloodline, achieved his previous result.

This shows his Bloodline Power has increased by nearly tenfold.

"So this is the power of a Saint‑level Bloodline!" Ye Liuyun thinks joyfully for a moment, then continues refining divine dragon essence.

The golden dragon helplessly says, "Do you think this essence is like a big cabbage, everywhere? You've refined enough; continuing will be inefficient. In the future, find strong Bloodline essence yourself to absorb and refine! Stop using Bloodline Crystal Stones; they have no effect on you."

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun can only give up; with five days left he cannot waste, so he asks, "Alright, shall we move on to body cultivation now?"

"Correct! Before body cultivation, put away your weapons; we've all enhanced them, you might need them later."

Ye Liuyun retrieves the Demon Slaying Sword. Its Divine Sense immediately tells him, "Boss, I've become much stronger; I can now easily slay saints on my own!"

"Good then!" Ye Liuyun nods satisfactorily.

He then looks at the Nine Dragon River Mountain Cauldron again. The cauldron now contains the Divine Sense of nine divine dragons, and after Ye Liuyun arrived, he established a connection with those nine divine dragons' Divine Sense.

"We nine dragons have each inserted a strand of Divine Sense into this cauldron as its spirit. Henceforth, whether refining, defending, or attacking, it is many times stronger than before."

"Thank you, seniors!" Ye Liuyun quickly thanks, puts away the cauldron. He decides to call it the Nine Dragon River Mountain Cauldron from now on.

Looking at the Mountain‑flipping Seal, it's the same; nine divine dragons coil on it. After Ye Liuyun connects his Divine Sense to it, he also names it the Nine Dragons Mountain‑flipping Seal and stores it away.

"These Nine Dragon River Mountain Cauldron and Nine Dragons Mountain‑flipping Seal have reached the spirit‑weapon level, and they can be activated by Divine Sense alone without True Essence, so your realm won't limit them. When you reach that realm, you can find ways to upgrade them further."

As for your Demon Slaying Sword, it is nearly at the revered weapon strength. However, because it uses your own Divine Sense, its grade cannot be displayed.

Only now does Ye Liuyun realize his Demon Slaying Sword's grade is already this high. He doesn't mind the grade being hidden; in fact, he thinks it's better so others won't covet it.

"So next, I should fight?" Ye Liuyun asks. Since the golden dragon gave him these weapons and said he could use them, it must be for combat.

"Correct! Later you will slay those dragon‑shaped phantoms. Their essence will replenish your Physical Body; the more you kill, the more your body improves. Call stop when you can't continue!" the golden dragon tells him.

"Alright!" Ye Liuyun nods, taking out the Demon Slaying Sword, the Mountain‑flipping Seal, and the Nine Dragon Cauldron. He controls the cauldron and seal with his Divine Sense, they orbit around him, while he holds the sword.

The golden dragon leads Ye Liuyun to the center of the nine massive pillars. He then darts away, slipping back into a pillar statue. The souls of the other dragons also return to their stone pillar statues, as if preparing something.
