He narrowed his eyes, unwilling to believe it, and swept his entire claw across his chest with three-tenths more force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the piercing scrape, Wang Yu raised his arm and brought his claw before his eyes: his entire arm trembled faintly, and the claw was completely numb, utterly devoid of sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his gaze, it took three or four breaths before his five fingers regained feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu pressed one finger lightly against the scales on his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly felt vibrations emanating from the scales as he applied slight pressure, and each scale rose upright, their edges razor-sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had his fingers not been covered in the same scales, this single press would have torn them open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This filled Wang Yu with both shock and delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These scales had become so formidable they were nearly equivalent to wearing a second-rank battle armor with built-in damage reflection—perfect for close combat, a true weapon of destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glancing at the emerald-green horn on his head, Wang Yu formed a hand seal with one hand and murmured incantations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed a single finger into the empty air before him; a green glow appeared, followed by seven or eight faint green spirit runes flashing briefly, then a bare, withered branch materialized out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu reached out, seized the branch, and shook it lightly, pouring pure spiritual energy into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the branch sprouted buds, which bloomed rapidly into white plum blossoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, the Green Serpent bloodline has activated. Though I have no Wood Spirit Root, my ability to cast Wood-element spells has clearly improved.” Wang Yu murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spell he had just cast was a simple trick, yet it was a genuine Wood-element spell—the previous sense of sluggishness and difficulty in controlling Wood-element spells had vanished by more than half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he could now learn a few Wood-element spells after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But spells activated solely by bloodline power, not by an innate Wood Spirit Root, were like castles in the air or trees without roots—perhaps usable, but unlikely to ever be truly mastered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Wang Yu was quite satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, without a Wood Spirit Root, he hadn’t been entirely unable to cast Wood-element spells, but he could never use them effectively in actual combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with the Green Serpent bloodline’s enhancement, he could learn several stronger Wood-element spells to handle more varied battle situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the remainder of the time, Wang Yu carefully examined his body’s other conditions, but aside from feeling slightly stronger, he found no other changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fish demon’s “Shattered Form and Shadow” ability showed no trace at all—he didn’t know whether he hadn’t inherited this talent or whether a special method was needed to activate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled deeply, suppressed his bloodline power, and the scales on his skin vanished rapidly; his body shrank quickly, restoring his original form in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced into the Mirror Realm, touched his head, and found the green horn had also disappeared—only then did he relax slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though pleased to have discovered how to activate the Dragon bloodline, he had no desire to appear in the Azure Water Palace with a monstrous appearance every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ordeal on the login interface had consumed considerable time—he clearly could not remain here any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, as he uttered “Log Out,” he vanished in a flash of white light from the silver hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu opened his eyes and reappeared in his cultivation chamber. He grabbed his brow with one hand, and a small green vial appeared in his palm—inside was the fish demon’s essence blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he consumed it now, he would almost certainly awaken the Dragon bloodline in the real world—this made him hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that he didn’t want to awaken the Green Serpent bloodline; he simply felt the unknown energy from the yellow eye was likely a one-time use. Once spent to awaken the Green Serpent bloodline, he’d probably never get another chance to awaken any other bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also deeply interested in the White Serpent bloodline, especially its ability to consume lifespan for rapid cultivation advancement. Though unsuitable for daily practice, it could prove miraculous in critical moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, if he ever faced a moment requiring urgent realm advancement but lacked sufficient cultivation, activating this ability could truly alter fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he had yet to test the blood pill effect of the Dragon essence. Given the Azure Water Palace’s Nascent Soul sect status, they might possess the method to craft blood pills—if he could obtain it, his “Login Interface” ability would make mastering the technique effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even better, he wondered whether he could awaken both the White Serpent and Green Serpent bloodlines simultaneously—if successful, this unknown biological energy would be maximized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had half a year—no need to rush awakening the bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Wang Yu finally made his decision, tucked the vial away, left the chamber, flew out of his cave, departed from Jinghuo Peak, and headed straight toward Yuheng Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuheng Hall was the Azure Water Palace’s division responsible for internal affairs—medicines, formulas, artifacts, and materials all fell under its jurisdiction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had come not only to inquire about the existence of a bloodline pill formula but also to check for special pills to heal meridians and aid cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had already learned from his master, Yan Tu, that the Azure Water Palace indeed possessed such pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, star stones—given the scale of the Azure Water Palace, they must have some stock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wang Yu pondered this, wrapped in roaring flames, he transformed into a massive white fireball, hurtling across the sky above the Azure Water Cave.\u003C\u002Fp>",1105,"2026-06-20T15:44:32.565Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ce84239aa2a7976968b363e3fed6873fe0c6fbb5164c45752bc185c94e7d5ada","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-508","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-506",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
