Chapter 360: 360
The mont it connected with Xue Wei, the entire world trembled in front of him, his eyes widened in shock, and he felt a strange heat erupt before his sight went black, and he collapsed onto the floor .
There was no pain, not even any discomfort . However, as soon as the blood ca into contact with him, his consciousness collapsed, and his body started spasming .
A red hue appeared on around him, shrouding him in a veil of energy . The place where the drop had entered his body was a tear-shaped red dot, which was fluctuating in the dim light .
Xue Wei was completely unaware of what was happening to his body, his mind was filled with darkness, and he was unable to control the changes that were happening to him .
Energy started leaving the tear-shaped dot on his forehead, red feathers of energy began roaming through his ridians . Still, unlike what one might have expected, they did not clash with the azure dragons that flew in his veins, instead, they seed to coexist, the red and azure streaks of energy so began intervening .
They did not rge, but the dragons coiled around the red feathers, the streaks of Qi turned much thicker, and the undulations of power that they released were more than double of before .
This was the perfect example of adding two together did not an that it would just double in strength .
All the Qi in the body started to coil together, red and azure colors becoming the sa, and slowly the light that was shrouding his body tuned a mixture of red and azure .
More and more energy erupted from the blood drop that resembled a teardrop on his forehead . It was impossible for the Azure Qi to keep up with all the strands of red Qi that was being released in the body .
This energy went straight for the dantian where it gathered . The Azure Dragon Spirit, which was present within the dantian, was observing the ball of red Qi, which was gathering at a rapid speed with interest .
The red qi was gathering in a flaming ball that sohow resembled an egg . The more energy that gathered, the deeper the red color beca .
Ti flashed by, but no matter what happened, Xue Wei did not awaken, and the energy of the tear-like blood drop continued to pour into his boy without any restraint .
Slowly, as the hours ticked by, the tear-like drop of blood turned less and less visible, it beca more and more transparent, and the energy it poured into the body beca slower and slower as well .
As the final strand of energy left the tear-like blood drop, the outline vanished, and soon the egg within the dantian heated up, flas erupted from all over it, and a crack could be heard alongside a loud bird cry .
From within the egg, two massive flaming wings erupted, and a bird ca climbing out of the egg .
Although it had just hatched, it did not seem disoriented, nor did it look like a young chick . Instead it was a majestic Vermilion Bird!
The Vermilion Bird Spirit and the Azure Dragon Spirit observed one another for a long ti, but no hostility could be seen in their eyes .
This was not the end of it though, the Vermilion Bird Spirit within his dantian slowly started trembling, and suddenly a golden version of it split out from the spirit before it vanished .
After vanishing from the dantian, it did not disappear, but ended up in the soul palace, together with the golden dragon spirit .
All of this happened while Xue Wei was unconscious . Slowly, half a day after having rged with the blood drop, Xue Wei opened his eyes and hissed in surprise .
There was no soreness in his body; there was no discomfort; in fact, he felt imnsely comfortable . He slowly lifted his hand and looked at it, but it seed the sa as before .
Everything seed the sa, but he felt as if his body had been replaced with another body . That there was sothing so foreign about his body that he could not recognize it, but whenever he looked at it, it seed the sa as always .
He slowly sat up and crossed his legs before he started observing the insides of his body, and the mont he did, his heartbeat so rapidly that his eyes opened in shock, and he could not believe what he had seen .
He was a four-layered Ordinary Saint now!
Had the blood increased his cultivation base? But even if it increased his cultivation base, was this not too much of a jump?
He cald his heart and rechecked his body, and this ti he saw the strange mutation his Qi had undergone .
Before, it had always been Qi dragons, thousands upon thousands of Qi dragons, but now these dragons were all coiled around vermilion feathers .
Frowning, Xue Wei could not understand it, but then his gaze landed on his dantian . Here he was filled with shock . The Azure Dragon Spirit, which was sothing he was used to seeing, but there, next to it, was a Vermilion Bird .
Xue Wei was quite familiar with the Vermilion Bird after having connected with them for so ti, so he recognized it right away . But why was there a Vermilion Bird Spirit within his Dantian?
Xue Wei was puzzled .
He suddenly felt strange red energy within his body, the fire Qi he had absorbed earlier erupted like a volcano, bursting in his veins, and filling his entire body like it had been before with the wood Qi .
He felt that he could move both wood Qi, fire Qi and the normal Qi with as little as a thought .
Xue Wei was perplexed . His brows were furrowed, and he was deeply contemplating .
What exactly was the purpose of this Vermilion Bird Spirit within his dantian?
The Azure Dragon Spirit was there because he was an Azure Dragon . It could not be that he was also a Vermilion Bird?
Xue Wei almost chuckled at his own thought . Being a Sovereign Beast was already fantastic, but to have the bloodline of two sovereign beasts, was this not just wishful thinking?
Xue Wei was aware that it was impossible to have a mixed bloodline the last couple of thousands of years, but perhaps he had a diverse bloodline from earlier than that?
Could it be that he had a very weak trait of the Vermilion Bird bloodline, and because this drop of blood ca from a diety, it was able to awaken the dormant energy within his bloodline?
Unsure of what exactly had happened, Xue Wei could find no other reason for a Vermilion Bird Spirit to appear in his dantian, but he was quite happy with the rewards .
Although he had initially planned on using this drop of blood to exchange for the Thunder Fla Crown, he now felt that this was a much better result . Not only had he gained imnse upgrade in his strength, but he had also acquired another bloodline .
Could he perhaps even transform into a vermilion bird?
When this thought struck him, Xue Wei instantly tried to transform, and the temperature in the surrounding area turned hotter, as Xue Wei saw feathers sprout on his arms, vermilion feathers as he grew larger . His arms turned to wings, his feet to talons .
He had actually transford into a Vermilion Bird!
Xue Wei was shocked and unable to maintain the beastly shape fo long, before he turned back to a human being, his eyes filled with disbelief .
He was actually two sovereign beasts at once! How was this possible?!
Then a thought suddenly landed in his mind, what if this had sothing to do with the Holy Maiden they had ntioned before?
Was it possible that they knew sothing that he himself was unaware of?
Suddenly he was reminded of Chu Huiyin . When she was not completely mad from her insanity, she had left so clues . She and the others wanted to use his blood for so reason .
His eyes suddenly widened . His blood . Right . He had managed to mutate Hei Gou’s bloodline with his blood .
He thought that this was an ability any Sovereign Beasts would have, but upon closer consideration, he knew that that was not the case .
An ordinary Sovereign Beast would not be able to mutate the bloodline of a Primordial Beast . If they could, he would have noticed it back at the Demon Phoenix Continent .
There were many primordial beasts in the Demon Phoenix Continent, but they were not mutated . With so many Sovereign Beasts around, if they had this ability, then they would use it to bind the primordial beasts to their side in exchange for a bloodline mutation .
Understanding this, Xue Wei frowned . The further into the travels he ca, the less he seed to know himself .
First, he had been convinced that he was human . Then he thought himself to be a Primordial Beasts . When he finally found out that he was an Azure Dragon, he was sure that he had figured out his identity, but now it had once more been turned upside down .
He was neither a complete Azure Dragon nor a Vermilion Bird; he was both at the sa ti .
Xue Wei said nothing as he rested his head in his hands, and he was deep in thought .
It seed that there was so secret behind his origins . At the current point in ti, he could not help but question everything he knew .
What was his relationship with Xiao Lei? What was his relationship with his father? Who was his father? What was his father? Where was his mother? Who was she? What was she?
So many questions erupted at once, causing Xue Wei to beco dazed and dizzy .
Knowing that he was an Azure Dragon had already made him question his relationship with his father . He was a human, so how could he possibly be his birth father?
But he had none the less grown up with this man and held affection for him, so seeing him brutally killed by Xiao Lei had left a bitter taste in his mouth .
Yet now he understood that Xiao Lei was likely the only one who could answer the questions he had about his origin .
Initially, he had planned to find Xiao Lei and ask him about the murder of his father, but he had not dared to do so; he had been scared of what he might find out from the conversation .
Now things were completely different, however . He was in need of understanding himself, but he had no idea where to begin . The only solution he had was to talk with Xiao Lei, but he could not do so right now .
Realizing this, Xue Wei sighed . This was a tricky situation, but he understood that he could not do anything about it and had no other option than to accept whatever life brought him for now .
Reaching this conclusion, Xue Wei could not help but feel both relieved and depressed at the sa ti .
He looked into the ceiling of the room before he slowly stood up and dusted off his clothes before he turned back to the door leading out of the chamber .
When he did, things did not look as he had expected . Luoluo, Bai Tianyi, Hei Gou, and Lin Xiao were all waiting outside the room eager to see whether or not Xue Wei had succeeded .
The first thing he saw when he opened the door was their faces filled with admiration and curiosity .
"Did you get it?" Lin Xiao asked curiously, but Bai Tianyi just snorted . "I already said he had gotten it! I could feel so insane changes happening to him through our soul connection, but you still ask!"
"It is better if he tells us himself!" Lin Xiao continued and pouted slightly, causing Xue Wei to be filled with happiness . Having such good friends was truly rare .
