Chapter 547: Bloodline Transfer

"Since Senior's True Spirit Bloodline can be transferred to others, why not transfer it to Fairy Shuang'er?"

Facing Zhang Nuo's question, Chen Sihuai only gave a faint smile!

"Little friend, you don't know, but Shuang'er already has a True Spirit Bloodline in her body. Even if I were to pass mine to her, it would be in vain! Furthermore, the purity of Shuang'er's True Spirit Bloodline is far higher than mine; if she were to accept my bloodline, she would certainly be affected!"

Zhang Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly; what the old man said was not entirely unreasonable! Faced with the allure of the True Spirit Bloodline, he had an almost uncontrollable impulse! Once the True Spirit Bloodline of the divine beast White Tiger was inherited from Chen Sihuai, then, combined with the "Beast Taming Return to One Illusion Immortal Art" he practiced, as long as time was on his side, his cultivation would surely soar, and even reaching the Integration Stage would not be a dream!

However, there are pros and cons; the price of opposing the Human Emperor is not small. Unless Zhang Nuo could have his cultivation skyrocket all the way to the Late Void Refinement Stage, perhaps he could then contend with Fang Leihuo!

"Senior, I have another question!"

"Speak!"

"If the True Spirit Bloodline is transferred to this junior, then after a certain amount of time passes, will there still be any residual True Spirit Bloodline left in my body?"

This matter was the question Zhang Nuo cared about most. If he could instantly raise his cultivation to the Integration Stage, but then lose it all once the power of the True Spirit Bloodline was exhausted, the loss would outweigh the gain!

"Little friend, rest assured about this! After I pass the True Spirit Bloodline to you, I can naturally retain some of my own power within it. By utilizing this power, your cultivation can be raised to the Integration Stage, but once the power is exhausted, the True Spirit Bloodline will fall dormant in your body until you find a way to activate it again!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo was tempted, Chen Sihuai was not about to let the opportunity slip. After explaining it to him in great detail, he gave a wink to Chen Shuang'er beside him!

At this moment, Chen Shuang'er was also looking at Zhang Nuo with anticipation, her red lips parting slightly as she said:

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is not an ordinary Spirit Severing Stage cultivator. Setting aside the fact that you ascended from the Human Realm, just looking at the items you purchased at the 'Jade Study' shows you are extraordinary. This little woman thinks that even an ordinary Spirit Severing cultivator would absolutely not have such deep pockets!"

The young girl had never directly mentioned this subtle implication that Zhang Nuo had great divine abilities, but it was revealed between the lines! However, Zhang Nuo paid no attention to these things; his heart was entirely occupied by thoughts of the True Spirit Bloodline.

After bowing his head and pondering for a long time, a sharp light flashed in Zhang Nuo's eyes as he said:

"Fine! Since Senior thinks highly of this junior, then this junior will take the risk!"

After much internal struggle, Zhang Nuo still could not let go of the temptation of the True Spirit Bloodline and finally agreed. As soon as the old man and Chen Shuang'er saw this, smiles immediately appeared on their faces!

"Many thanks, Little Friend Zhang! But before this, I must ask you to swear a Heart Demon Oath that you will definitely deliver Shuang'er safely to her destination! As long as Shuang'er lives, you live! If anything happens to Shuang'er, you cannot survive alone!"

Hearing this, Zhang Nuo's expression changed; this Heart Demon Oath was a bit too vicious! If something really happened on the way, wouldn't he have to risk his life to save Chen Shuang'er? However, for the sake of the True Spirit Bloodline, Zhang Nuo gritted his teeth and agreed! He had staked almost everything on the True Spirit Bloodline!

"Good! I will pass the True Spirit Bloodline to you now! As for the place we are going, Shuang'er knows, so it is inconvenient to tell you, little friend!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo had sworn the Heart Demon Oath as he requested, Chen Sihuai was overjoyed! He immediately began to prepare for the bloodline transfer!

Five days later, when Zhang Nuo and Chen Shuang'er walked out of the room, Chen Shuang'er looked back into the room with tear-filled eyes. She saw the old man sitting cross-legged on the bed in peace, his breathing completely gone, the skin on his body shriveled, his skeletal appearance a sight too miserable to look at!

Zhang Nuo only took one look before turning away, pulling Chen Shuang'er's hand as he walked out of the inn! His speed was fast, with almost no delay! He did not even return to the Cave Abode he had rented a few days prior, but went straight to the gate of the Holy City, handed the Jade Token to a Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the city, and transformed into a streak of light to fly away into the distant sky with Chen Shuang'er!

After flying in one breath for about a month, Zhang Nuo finally found a safe place to land on the ground! At this time, Chen Shuang'er's mood was much better than before!

Because Chen Sihuai had transferred the True Spirit Bloodline to Zhang Nuo, the last straw maintaining his life was gone! Coupled with his previous severe injuries, he breathed his last immediately after the transfer ceremony was completed!

"Fairy Shuang'er, there is no need to be sad anymore. Our top priority now is to hurry to the Chen Family's secret location! If the Human Emperor discovers us, Senior Chen's sacrifice will have been in vain!"

Chen Shuang'er nodded slightly, looked up at Zhang Nuo, and said faintly:

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is absolutely right! Shuang'er was overcome with grief for a moment and did not think of this!"

Although her cultivation had improved rapidly, her state of mind had not matured to the point where she could control her emotions at will. This was the gap between rapid advancement and the slow, steady cultivation improvement of someone like Zhang Nuo! Once the state of mind is unstable, even if your cultivation reaches the heavens, it will all be for nothing in the end!

"Let's rest here for a while before continuing on our way!"

After Zhang Nuo found a hidden place to sit down, he released his powerful Divine Sense to feel all the movements around him, while simultaneously looking inward at the vortex of Spiritual Qi in his body that resembled a white tiger, feeling extremely excited!

This vortex of Spiritual Qi was the White Tiger True Spirit Bloodline transferred into his body. In normal times, the bloodline would not reveal anything, but as soon as it was activated, it would immediately raise Zhang Nuo's cultivation to the Integration Early Stage. Once that happened, the divine abilities he could unleash would be far beyond what the Spirit Severing Stage Zhang Nuo could achieve!

But the activation of the True Spirit Bloodline had a time limit, and it also had a certain relationship with Zhang Nuo's own cultivation. If Zhang Nuo's cultivation were higher, he might be able to raise the upper limit when activating the White Tiger True Spirit Bloodline!

Taking advantage of this rest period, Zhang Nuo silently practiced the "Beast Taming Return to One Illusion Immortal Art" and began to refine the True Spirit Bloodline bit by bit!

Half a day later, Zhang Nuo and Chen Shuang'er stood up and flew away again!

At the same time, in the small inn where Chen Sihuai had been, a man wearing a yellow robe was coldly looking at the old man who had already passed away, his face filled with extreme anger!

"Old thing! I didn't think you had such a trick up your sleeve! You actually hid right under this Emperor's nose!"

The yellow-robed man looked up and let out a long howl, shaking the entire inn until it was about to collapse! This person was the contemporary Human Emperor, Fang Leihuo! However, because of his anger, his facial expression was somewhat distorted! To obtain Chen Shuang'er, he had almost staked the reputation of the Human Emperor, but in the end, it was still all for nothing!

At this moment, a middle-aged man of about forty years old walked in from outside. This person was wearing a coarse cloth vest, revealing sturdy muscles, and on each of his wrists, he wore a golden ring!

"Reporting to Lord Human Emperor! It has been verified that a man at the Spirit Transformation Mid-Stage left the Holy City with Chen Shuang'er! As for where they went, it is unclear!"

"Spirit Severing Stage! A mere little cultivator of the Spirit Severing Stage dares to oppose this Emperor! Mobilize all forces; you must find Chen Shuang'er and that Spirit Severing cultivator for me! I want Chen Shuang'er alive, but that man? Kill him!"

After saying these words resolutely, Fang Leihuo pointed a single hand at Chen Sihuai's body on the bed! The old man's body burst with a loud sound, turning into specks of dust that drifted into the air!

After doing all this, the Human Emperor turned and left the room, walking angrily toward the Human Emperor Palace. This Demon Beast Tide was extremely fierce; if he hadn't advanced to the Great Accomplishment Stage early, he might have found it difficult to protect the Human Emperor Realm! It just so happened that the time for the Dual Cultivation Technique, which could be used once every thousand years, had arrived, so he wanted to use the True Spirit Blood of the True Spirit Family to help him break through!

After several inquiries, the Human Emperor finally learned that the Chen Family, which possessed the White Tiger True Spirit Bloodline, had produced a genius with the True Spirit Bloodline more than ten years ago, and the purity of the True Spirit Bloodline in his body could almost be said to be rare in tens of thousands of years! However, after the Chen Family discovered his conspiracy, they never agreed and even wanted to send Chen Shuang'er to a secret place of the Chen Family for cultivation!

Having received this news, the Human Emperor sent people to intercept and kill them halfway, but in the end, it was all for nothing! How could he not be angry!

As Zhang Nuo and Chen Shuang'er were flying high in the sky, Chen Shuang'er's heart suddenly felt a sharp pain! She transmitted her voice to Zhang Nuo, her heart still trembling with fear:

"Fellow Daoist Zhang! I am afraid the Human Emperor has discovered the Third Elder's corpse! We must speed up! I believe someone will catch up before long!"

Zhang Nuo's heart skipped a beat. Chen Sihuai's room was wrapped in several types of Restrictions; how could the Human Emperor have discovered it in such a short time? It seems this Human Emperor's divine abilities were far beyond his expectations!

As their light of escape rose, their speed increased several times over! The speed of the light of escape driven by Zhang Nuo at full power left a faint phantom in the sky, which would then disappear into the horizon!

After traveling forward for another two years, they still had not flown out of the Human Emperor Realm's sphere of influence! This day, the two of them arrived at the foot of an unknown small mountain! Many days of flying had already left them exhausted!

They seized every moment to rest and recover the Spirit Power in their bodies, striving to fly out of the Human Emperor Realm's sphere of influence one day sooner! Over these two years, Chen Shuang'er felt Zhang Nuo becoming increasingly mysterious; with her speed at the Spirit Severing Late Stage, she sometimes could not even keep up with Zhang Nuo! It was evident that this person possessed a unique skill in terms of escape light!

Neither of them spoke, both sitting on the ground breathing and exhaling! Suddenly, Zhang Nuo's eyes snapped open, and at the same time, his body stood up abruptly, his gaze looking toward the dense forest on one side! He let out a sharp shout:

"Come out, you rats!"
