**Chapter 735 Fifty Years Later**
Fifty years later.
Infernal Sulfur Plane, specialized training chamber within the main laboratory.
The entire training chamber was wrapped in a layer of insulating formation arrays. The walls were inlaid with a special type of fire-patterned stone.
This ore could maintain structural stability even under extre high temperatures and would evenly reflect heat back into the room, turning the whole training chamber into a forcibly sealed furnace. Even the air was roasted until it warped slightly.
At the center of the training chamber floated a fist-sized fireball. The color of the flas was so intense it appeared almost like solidified blood-red. This was a strand separated from the batch of Supre Yang True Fire that Jie Ming had refined fifty years ago.
The light and heat emitted by the fireball were tightly confined by the formation to a spherical space less than three ters in diater. Even so, the temperature within those three ters was outrageously high, burning faint wrinkles into space itself.
Jie Ming sat cross-legged directly in front of the fireball, less than a ter away.
He manifested his true body, allowing the Supre Yang True Fire to continuously lick at his arms, chest, and back.
Every tongue of fla that landed on his skin would leave behind a faint scorch mark.
Yet the mont the scorch marks appeared, they rapidly healed under the self-recovery ability of his body forging thod. The new skin was denser than before, and its dark golden luster was more restrained and profound.
Jie Ming was using Supre Yang True Fire to forge his body—treating the Supre Yang True Fire as a tempering furnace and himself as the material being tempered.
The Great Dao Book Pavilion contained a dedicated thod for body forging with Supre Yang True Fire. The principle was not complicated: use Supre Yang True Fire as the furnace and one’s own body as the vessel, repeatedly burning and regenerating to allow the dharma body to continuously undergo adaptive evolution in a high-temperature environnt.
As the final wisp of heat was fully absorbed by his skin, the fireball before him had shrunk to the size of a fingernail, its color shifting from blood-red to a near-transparent pale red.
Jie Ming opened his eyes, slowly stood up, and rolled his shoulders.
“The results are much better than I expected. It seems squeezing out extra resources to build this training chamber was the right decision…”
Under normal circumstances, Jie Ming would never dare to so brazenly expose himself to Supre Yang True Fire. After all, among the flas of the cultivation world, Supre Yang True Fire ranked among the absolute top tier.
It possessed the property of being inextinguishable. With his current physical body level and bodily resistance, direct unprotected contact would most likely end badly.
The heavy tal door of the training chamber slid open automatically as he approached. Cold air from outside rushed in, raising a thin layer of white vapor on the surface of his skin that had yet to fully dissipate its heat.
He lowered his head and looked at his arm.
Under the tempering of Supre Yang True Fire, the body forging thod had completed another round of self-iteration.
Moreover, by utilizing the exclusive cultivation thod for Supre Yang True Fire, not only had his various resistances increased, but his energy absorption rate had also beco more stable.
As soon as he stepped out of the training chamber, a black giant priest was already waiting in the corridor. Jie Ming recognized him as one from the administrative affairs group.
The vertical mouth on the other party’s chest opened slightly, and a low vibrating voice soon sounded.
“Master, the list of Tentacle Tree Civilization researchers who passed screening for this period has been compiled and awaits your review.”
“Oh, not bad. Pretty fast.”
Jie Ming took the list handed over and swept his gaze rapidly across the light screen.
The list was very long.
In recent years, more and more research talents had erged from the Tentacle Tree Civilization.
Their theoretical analysis capabilities and data processing talent perfectly complented the research teams of the black giant priests.
Fifty years was not a long ti for a civilization.
Yet after being incorporated into the Infernal Sulfur Plane, the Tentacle Tree Civilization’s developnt speed had beco far faster than when it was independent.
The reverse analysis of the Divine Armant had been fully completed through the joint efforts of the black giant priests and the Tentacle Tree researchers.
With the assistance of the black giant priests, the various technologies the Tentacle Tree Civilization learned from the Divine Armant had been reintegrated into their own technological tree.
The Tentacle Tree Civilization of today was no longer the sixth-level technological civilization that couldn’t even properly copy work from the Divine Armant. Although its overall rating was still sixth-level, in the fields of energy application and shield technology, they had already reached the ceiling of sixth-level civilizations.
Jie Ming’s gaze paused on the list.
He saw a sowhat familiar na… or rather, a familiar surna.
After briefly checking the specific information on this Tentacle Tree individual, it was indeed a descendant of that forr planetary governor of the Tentacle Tree Civilization.
“Furnace Fence has been gone for several decades now…” Jie Ming felt a slight sense of lancholy.
“The quality of researchers who passed screening this batch is higher than the previous one,” the black giant priest added while Jie Ming reviewed the list. “After completing the reverse analysis of the Divine Armant, the Tentacle Tree Civilization has conducted a comprehensive update to their basic education curriculum. The knowledge structure of the new generation of Tentacle Trees integrates far better with our existing research system than the older generation.”
“Excellent.” Jie Ming returned the list and casually opened a teleportation gate leading to the main laboratory in mid-air. “Continue arranging for them to join the follow-up Divine Armant research project teams, following the sa process as the previous batch.”
The black giant priest bowed to accept the order. Before he could raise his head, Jie Ming had already stepped through the teleportation gate.
In the next instant, space twisted slightly, and Jie Ming returned to the main laboratory.
Laid out neatly on the workbench were rows of crystal thin-slabs. Each crystal slab sealed a complete three-dinsional structure of a Dragonman bloodline rune.
The runes rotated slowly within pale golden light, accompanied by dense experintal data annotations.
The Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror hovered above the workbench, automatically performing cross-comparisons.
Jie Ming sat down at the workbench and casually touched the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, receiving the information it had processed during this period.
The optimization research on Dragonman bloodline runes had already continued for fifty years.
From the original rune structure passively absorbed from Suoyuan at the beginning to the current version after multiple rounds of iteration, the process had not been particularly fast. It was not due to high difficulty, but rather because the current number of Dragonman samples within the Infernal Sulfur Plane was too small, lacking sufficient verification.
After thinking for a mont, Jie Ming issued a command through the Incense Fire Divine Dao. Soon, footsteps sounded outside the laboratory door.
Another black giant priest walked in.
This one was slightly shorter than the previous, but the dark golden patterns flowing across his body surface were denser.
He saluted Jie Ming. “Master, the quarterly report on the Dragonman population has been updated.”
“How many Dragonn are there now?” Jie Ming asked without looking up.
“The registered number exceeds one thousand,” the black giant priest opened the data pad in his hand. “More than half are from the new generation. After you implanted the first batch of optimized runes thirty years ago, the average bloodline concentration of the new generation increased by about twelve percent compared to the previous generation. Scale durability, dragon breath stability, and flight endurance have all shown clear improvent.”
“The education and dical systems in the current Dragonman settlent areas have been fully integrated into the android administrative network, ensuring all eligible Dragonn are enrolled,” he continued. “Additionally, a small number of new-generation Dragonn have displayed bloodline concentrations exceeding the previous generation. Their scales have already begun to show dark golden luster.”
Jie Ming tapped his fingers lightly on the workbench twice.
One thousand Dragonn was already a considerable number for the Dragonman race.
Yet on a civilization scale, it was still an extrely small fraction.
However, Dragonn had extrely long lifespans. As long as stable reproduction could be maintained, population growth was only a matter of ti.
What truly interested him was the increase in bloodline concentration among the new generation.
The Dragon Clan bloodline rune knowledge he had obtained from Suoyuan back then, after years of organization and optimization, had already shown initial results on the Dragonn.
Once the Dragonman population grew larger, he could perhaps begin the next phase of research.
After all, the blood of the Dragonn still carried traces of Suoyuan’s bloodline.
Though diluted over countless generations, the concentration had beco very low.
Yet the essence of those bloodline runes described the operating rules of the Dragon Clan bloodline.
If he could extract relatively pure True Dragon bloodline from a sufficient number of Dragonman blood samples using the bloodline runes, the applications would be imnse. Judging from the power displayed by that dragon, this True Dragon bloodline held extrely high potential in the field of biological modification.
Whether used to create new combat units, as carriers for special law research, or even simply traded as a rare bloodline, its value would be astonishingly high.
