Crackle, pop—
Visibly, tempered by the most pristine Emperor Bloodline Power, the Crown Prince of Xi Kingdom's physical body grew increasingly resilient and powerful, undergoing constant restructuring and transformation. As his bloodline roared, even deafening rumbles could be heard echoing.
That was the might of the Emperor Bloodline Power.
All of this proved that the Crown Prince of Xi Kingdom was slowly refining and absorbing this Emperor Bloodline Power, integrating it into his body for complete assimilation.
Finally, after half a day, the Crown Prince of Xi Kingdom's entire body completely calmed down, having fully absorbed that mass of pure Emperor Bloodline Power from the eight imperial clan Great Powers, which had merged into his being.
Moreover, one could easily sense how vigorous his blood energy was—enough to dominate among his peers. His cultivation had even instantly risen by two minor realms, reaching the third level of Divine Transformation. In the future, he also had a great chance to break through the shackles of the ninth level and achieve the tenth level, becoming a supreme prodigy.
Naturally, regarding that Emperor Bloodline Power, he hadn't completely refined it yet, as his current self simply couldn't withstand it. Ye Chen had sealed over ninety-nine percent of it, leaving only a wisp activated and revived.
However, as time passed and the Crown Prince of Xi Kingdom's cultivation gradually increased, this sealed Emperor Bloodline Power would gradually awaken, continuously bestowing him with immense potential, allowing his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, rising rapidly.
This was Ye Chen's intention.
After a good while, the Crown Prince of Xi Kingdom also awoke from his slumber. Opening his eyes, he could feel the power within his body, far greater than before.
Yet what delighted him even more were the astonishing changes that had occurred within him. His physical body had grown much stronger, his five senses and six perceptions had become more acute. Because of the Emperor Bloodline Power, his Primordial Spirit had also strengthened severalfold. Everything had undergone gratifying changes.
Moreover, he could easily sense the potential within his body. As his blood circulated, it could emit deafening roars. The magnitude of this potential was such that even he felt it was unimaginable.
"Many thanks, Master, for this generous gift!"
The Crown Prince of Xi Kingdom hurriedly knelt and bowed in gratitude. All of this was bestowed by his master. He, Yan Wushuang, was not an ungrateful person, and he was profoundly thankful, recognizing that none of this would have been possible without his master.
Ye Chen patted his shoulder, helping him up, and said with a smile, "Wushuang, your master has done all he can. What happens next depends on you. However, I hope you do not forget your original intent. Since you are walking the path of using Faith Power to achieve the Emperor realm, continue down it. The reason I bestowed Emperor Bloodline Power and transformed your physique is so that you need not waste much time on matters of innate talent and constitution, allowing you more time to ponder how to utilize Faith Power."
"Faith Power is indeed a special force—the power of all living beings. It is also rumored that someone once used it to prove the Dao and become an Emperor, though it is not confirmed which Supreme Great Emperor it was. But your master hopes you can succeed, making the use of Faith Power even more thorough."
"This disciple understands—I will not forget my original intent!" Yan Wushuang said solemnly.
Ye Chen nodded, then asked, "What will you do next?"
Yan Wushuang replied, "After I return, I will request permission from my father the king to assume the position of ruler. Then I will make arrangements, striving to use the fastest and most effective methods to annex the nearby kingdoms, quietly infiltrate other nations, and while cultivating, begin step by step to annex the myriad kingdoms of this world, even the Thirty-Six Sovereign Kingdoms and the Seven Great Empires. Ultimately, I will lead the entire Jiuyan Imperial Clan, unify this great era, and finally set out into the starry sky, conquer numerous star domains, gather the Faith Power of all ages, specialize and accumulate for a sufficiently long period, and then charge straight into the realm of the Supreme Great Emperor!"
Regarding this plan, he had long had certain ideas, but previously, due to talent and other factors, it was difficult to realize. Now, however, it was different. With such pure Emperor Bloodline Power, he could advance his plans earlier and no longer waste more time on cultivation, allowing him more time to specialize in Faith Power.
Especially the final unification of the Jiuyan Imperial Clan. Having now obtained the Emperor Bloodline Power of eight imperial clan Great Powers, including the Jiuyan Clan Leader, he was already a true member of the imperial clan, and his bloodline power was second only to that of imperial sons and daughters of the second generation, on par with the third generation.
Imperial clans had always determined status based on the strength of bloodline power. The purer and more powerful the Emperor Bloodline Power, the higher the status, even allowing one to contend for the position of clan leader.
Precisely because of this, even after he unified the myriad kingdoms, Thirty-Six Sovereign Kingdoms, and Seven Great Empires of the Jiuyan Continent in the future, he would not need to wage war against the Jiuyan Imperial Clan. On the contrary, as long as he wielded his own Emperor Bloodline Power, glorious throughout ancient and modern times, and contended with other competitors for the position of clan leader, he could obtain it.
Otherwise, even if he unified the myriad kingdoms, he could not contend with the Jiuyan Imperial Clan, an immortal imperial clan possessing a Supreme Great Emperor.
As he understood, his master before him was very powerful, even powerful enough to capture a clan leader on the Jiuyan Imperial Clan's territory, yet he still seemed quite wary of the Jiuyan Imperial Clan.
Ye Chen nodded. Although he very much wanted to see how this disciple would progress, he could not remain on the Jiuyan Imperial Star for long.
"Regarding you, your master is very assured, but there is one thing you must absolutely remember, never forget," Ye Chen spoke gravely. "That is, on the Jiuyan Imperial Star, as long as you do not leave for a single day, you must not mention your master's name for a single day. Otherwise, it will not be beneficial for you; on the contrary, it will be a great disaster. Like the Jiuyan Clan Leader before you, he was captured by your master. The Jiuyan Imperial Clan stands opposed to your master. Unless one day you become the Jiuyan Clan Leader and truly have the final say, can this immense enmity be resolved. Otherwise, if others find out, you will face a life-and-death predicament. Remember this, remember this well."
"Your disciple respectfully obeys Master's command," the Crown Prince of Xi Kingdom said heavily, also glancing at the Jiuyan Clan Leader within the Chaos Great Cauldron. So his master had such a huge grudge with the Jiuyan Imperial Clan. Indeed, as he said, rashly speaking of it would invite endless pursuit from the Jiuyan Imperial Clan, something his current self could not withstand.
Then, Ye Chen flicked his finger, sending out a stream of light that entered Yan Wushuang's brow and Primordial Spirit. Within it were some profound body-tempering techniques, such as the Tyrant Heaven Body Tempering Art and the Human Origin Body Art, along with corresponding divine abilities and secret arts. Naturally, it also contained some of Ye Chen's own understanding of Faith Power, all bestowed upon Yan Wushuang.
He also left behind some precious treasures, divided into several parts, but all were sealed. Yan Wushuang would need to break the seals one by one as his cultivation increased. Exposing them too early would be more harmful than beneficial to his future cultivation.
