Chapter 327: Bloodline Power

"Su Mo, stop talking big, let me come and test you!"

As the voice rang out, a figure in the crowd to the southwest soared into the air, stepping through the void to stand before Su Mo.

"Yi Zhen!" A clamor broke out in the crowd; even Xu Chen, who was watching the spectacle, could not help but look full of astonishment.

Yi Zhen's aptitude was indeed quite good; when Xu Chen had gone to Yuqing Hall, he had already reached the Great Perfection of the Zhenyuan Realm, ready to undergo Golden Core formation and advance at any time.

Yet, seeing him again after more than half a year, Xu Chen discovered that Yi Zhen's aptitude had indeed improved significantly. Although he had only recently formed his Golden Core, his realm was already stable, which showed that after the comprehensive transformation by the Taiyuan Soul-Entering Pill, both his aptitude and strength had been greatly enhanced following his breakthrough.

Su Mo's current realm and cultivation were about the same as Yi Zhen's.

"What else? Do you think the forces supported by True Immortal families would be the same as ordinary Immortal Sects?" Ling Yuzhen nodded, somewhat annoyed.

In other words, relying on his cultivation at the entry level of the Danyuan Realm, Su Mo had actually unleashed the power of rules that only Spirit Transformation Great Cultivators could barely begin to touch.

Lan You looked at Su Mo with a cold expression, then shook her head after a moment: "Lan You is a Disciple of Yuqing Hall and currently has no dealings with Thunder God Hall. What exactly does Daoist Friend Su want by wishing to see me in front of such a large crowd?"

Therefore, Xu Chen compared them in his heart and felt that the advantage Su Mo gained from his True Immortal Bloodline was not much stronger than the reinforcement and transformation Yi Zhen received from the Fairy Spirit Qi of the Taiyuan Soul-Entering Pill.

Facing a Spirit Transformation Great Cultivator, Su Mo showed no sign of respect, brushing his clothes lightly and saying: "I said it would end at a touch, so naturally I would not hurt him. Rest assured, he will recover in at most two quarters of an hour. This is the Three-Grade Spirit Pill we agreed upon!"

However, Yi Zhen was one year older.

"Su Bai, this girl's aptitude is heaven-defying and her future is limitless; she must be brought back to Taiqing Palace!" An old man with silver hair and beard suddenly transmitted his voice to Su Bai.

This kind of difference was something the Taiyuan Soul-Entering Pill could not compare to.

Su Mo's originally indifferent eyes suddenly lit up. He scanned Lan You up and down with his Divine Sense without any restraint, his expression turning both surprised and delighted as he cupped his hands: "Is the one who has come Daoist Friend Lan You of Thunder God Hall?"

"What, are the Magic Treasures and Spirit Pills of my Taiqing Palace not good enough? Not even worth a challenge?" Su Mo scanned the entire Four Dragon Platform with cold eyes.

Xu Chen was confused again and asked: "Are Immortal Spells and mortal Magic Spells not of the same lineage?"

Su Mo's figure flashed into existence, and he poked a finger at Yi Zhen's dantian.

Su Mo was helpless; just as he withdrew his Divine Sense and prepared to descend, a beautiful black-clad figure suddenly soared into the air, walked a few steps through the void, and came to a stop three zhang in front of Su Mo.

Of course, one could not compare them purely in this way. The Taiyuan Soul-Entering Pill performed reinforcement and improvement on one's original aptitude, which required one's own Spirit Root to be good enough. Many in Yuqing Hall and Taiyuan Sect had consumed the Taiyuan Soul-Entering Pill, but those who truly had the potential to form a Golden Core were certainly few—only a sparse few.

Regardless of whether they understood the intricacies or not, some cultivators felt their mouths go dry, and they no longer dared to look directly at this seemingly arrogant young cultivator standing in the sky.

One was an internal factor, the other an external object; they could not be completely mentioned in the same breath.

"Hehe, this is truly a letdown. Where is Lanyou Xianzi? Since you have come, why not appear and meet me? Even if you don't want to fight me, at least meeting would be fine. After all, you are first, and I am second!"

Ling Yuzhen nodded and said: "Correct, this is a kind of awakened power brought by bloodline inheritance, not a Magic Spell in the ordinary sense. In reality, it can be seen as a weakened version of an Immortal Spell!"

As he spoke, Yi Zhen formed a seal with one hand and pointed forward; a cyan bolt of lightning crashed down from the sky, smashing toward Su Mo.

Yi Zhen's temple twitched violently, but he quickly relaxed and sneered: "What big talk. You are also only at the early stage of the Danyuan Realm. Since you want to show off, then today I will satisfy you!"

"Zhen'er!" Before Yi Zhen could land, Yuyang Zhenjun flashed into view, rolled him up with Spirit Qi and placed him on the ground, while simultaneously raising his eyes to glare at Su Mo: "Since it was agreed to be a friendly spar, why break his dantian?"

Xu Chen felt his teeth ache just watching.

If this kind of Magic Spell were used against cultivators of the same rank from small or medium Immortal Sects, it would inevitably cause the opponent to resist with all their might or even fall into a panic.

But Taiqing Palace was the number one super Immortal Sect in the Divine Continent, with a foundation and accumulation a hundred times deeper than Yuqing Hall. Furthermore, not only did the sect have over ten Spirit Realm Great Cultivators and one top-tier powerhouse at the Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation, but it also had True Immortal forces as its backing.

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "You mean this is not just a simple Magic Spell?"

Yi Zhen's body suddenly trembled violently, his entire body's vital energy spiraled out of control, and he plummeted from several dozen zhang in the air.

"Don't overthink it, this is still because of his bloodline; it doesn't have much to do with his own cultivation!" Ling Yuzhen said, standing to the side.

Additionally, from the process of Su Mo's attack, he had also discovered some clues—that he had actually sensed a familiar fluctuation of spatial energy.

Yi Zhen was ranked fifth on the Prodigy Ranking, and his strength was absolutely formidable. Yet, he had failed to withstand a single move from Su Mo despite attacking first. The outcome was decided in almost the blink of an eye; most people hadn't even realized the battle had begun before they saw Yi Zhen plummeting from the sky.

Even many Spirit Transformation Great Cultivators had grave expressions, feeling their hearts pounding in their chests.

Su Mo still stood in the air with his hands behind his back, looking aloof.

"Yuqing Hall, Yi Zhen, greets Daoist Friend Su Mo!" Yi Zhen cupped his hands slightly, his face also carrying a trace of haughtiness.

Facing such an opponent of the same rank, Yi Zhen's approach seemed far too foolish; even if he had gone all out, he would have had no chance of winning, let alone holding back and being careless.

Ling Yuzhen glanced at the "newbie" from the Immortal World and said: "How could that be? Mortal Magic Spells use Five Elements Qi, while Immortal Spells use the power of rules. The two have absolutely no connection."

"Second brother, come down. The Immortal Alliance Assembly is not a place for play!" Su Bai, who had been sitting cross-legged below, reminded him indifferently.

Although Yi Zhen had formed a Golden Core and his strength was indeed quite good, that strike of lightning was far too careless. Its power seemed decent, but in reality, its speed and attack power were not great; at most, it could be considered a Third-Tier entry-level Magic Spell.

Seeing that no one was paying him any mind, Su Mo seemed somewhat bored and released his Divine Sense to begin searching for his target in the crowd.

Beside him, the short, stout middle-aged cultivator from Taiqing Palace who had spoken earlier replied indifferently: "Although Taiqing Palace does not often walk in the mortal world, our reputation remains. Since we promised, we will certainly fulfill it without fail. Rest assured, Daoist friend, your disciple will be fine."

And the appearance of Taiqing Palace, especially Su Mo's strike this time, made his understanding of the strength of these hidden sects even clearer, giving him the realization that there is always a higher mountain.

Yuyangzi probed Yi Zhen's body with his Divine Sense and observed that, aside from his Soul and vital energy being somewhat chaotic, there was indeed no major harm. At this time, his vital energy had already begun to circulate smoothly, so he could only accept the pill and let the Yuqing Hall disciples take Yi Zhen away.

It could even be said that the bloodline power within Su Mo was not as good as the wisp of Fairy Spirit Qi fused into the Taiyuan Soul-Entering Pill.

And at this moment, there was no one left at the scene who dared to whisper, mock, or show disdain for the arrogance and haughtiness of Taiqing Palace.

Su Mo flicked his finger, and a crimson Jade Bottle floated before Yuyangzi and Yi Zhen.

"Look quickly, Lanyou Xianzi has come out!" The quiet crowd suddenly erupted into a violent commotion.

Su Bai, who had been indifferent and seemed unconcerned about this struggle, suddenly jumped up, looking at Lan You with an expression of disbelief.

Xu Chen suddenly realized and nodded: "So that's how it is. This True Immortal Bloodline is truly powerful. If we follow this deduction, Su Mo is likely capable of contending with ordinary Spirit Transformation Great Cultivators, and wouldn't Su Bai truly have the strength comparable to a Spirit Transformation Great Cultivator?"

At this moment, the entire Four Dragon Platform was in a deathly silence.

Looking at the two characters "Tenglong" on the Jade Bottle, Yuyangzi's expression changed slightly: "Is this the Tenglong Creation Pill refined by the secret arts of Taiqing Palace?"

Su Mo nodded aloofly: "Correct, otherwise how could I bring it out?"

He had seen the entire process of the two fighting clearly.

However, Xu Chen absolutely had not expected that Yi Zhen would lose without even withstanding a single move.

All the cultivators could not help but dodge Su Mo's gaze, and some even retreated involuntarily.

Thus, Xu Chen's teeth ached even more.

Amidst the lightning, Su Mo's figure actually blurred and vanished. Yi Zhen's expression changed and he dodged back, but immediately felt a thunderous roar in his mind, as if a bolt of lightning had struck his Soul out of thin air, causing his body to stall and stop abruptly in the air.

At this moment, not only were the two Spirit Transformation Great Cultivators, Yuyang Zhenjun and Baiyun Zhenjun of Yuqing Hall, nervous, but almost the entire group of cultivators from Taiqing Palace also looked up at Lan You, especially the True Monarchs, whose faces all revealed extreme astonishment.

Su Mo's single strike completely shocked the entire audience.

"Heh, quite a commotion, but the Magic Spell is too trashy..."

Super Immortal Sects like Junwang Hall and Thunder God Hall were no longer comparable to so-called large Immortal Sects like Yuqing Hall.

Su Mo stood with his hands behind his back and said contemptuously: "Sorry, I have heard of Yuqing Hall, but I, Su, have never heard of your name; however, seeing that your cultivation realm is not bad, you can barely manage to fight me."

And as long as one possesses the True Immortal Bloodline, cultivation will be smooth sailing.

Previously, he did not have much understanding of the so-called top ten great Immortal Sects of the Divine Continent, until he participated in this Immortal Alliance Assembly and saw the strength of these Immortal Sects with his own eyes, only then did he finally have a more comprehensive understanding.

They had assumed that the two would go back and forth and fight for a while before a winner was decided.

Su Bai shuddered and came back to his senses, nodding desperately with a dry throat: "This Disciple has the same intention; I didn't expect that there would be such a talented female cultivator at this Immortal Alliance Assembly. It is truly incredible. If I could form a Daolu with her and merge it with our True Immortal Bloodline, the offspring born would likely be able to easily reach Void Breaking and become an immortal. As long as our bloodline is restored once more, Taiqing Palace will be able to rule the Spirit Realm again, take back our own Spirit Mountain, and restore our past glory."

Yi Zhen and Lan You were both among them.

"Not bad, this matter shall be left to you and Su Mo to handle; no matter what happens, we will take responsibility," the white-haired Elder nodded.

"Very well, please rest assured, Five Elders, I will definitely bring this woman back!" Su Bai nodded vigorously, then took a deep breath, soared into the air, and stood beside Su Mo.
