--- Chapter 53 ---
A week later.
After becoming the champion of the Blue Wind Empire's princess, Yu Long's schedule doesn't change much.
Every day, Yu Long would wake up in the Silver Moon Hotel's suite and relax while doing one or two casual experints.
He hasn't completed his research in a 'profound way' yet.
The sa goes for bloodlines and profound aspects.
When he discovered the Variant Bloodlines from his parents and grandparents, a new unorthodox field was opened for him.
Who would have thought he would find another unorthodox field when scanning Lan Shirou's illness?
The Blue Wind Empress, Lan Shirou, isn't a profound practitioner.
All she had was pure heart and the benevolence of a queen!
However, this is why she suffers so much.
Lan Shirou possessed a rare body like Xia Qingyue's mother. Although it was 'ultimately' weaker, it allowed Lan Xueruo to bore an innate ability.
The rare body is called Demoness's Sinful Body. And no, Yu Long didn't na it that way. He traced the origin of this rare body with the help of [Kaiju Maker].
Demoness's Sinful Body is a rare body that only appears in females. It caused the possessor of this physique to absorb the sins of others.
The more sin she absorbs, the more lifespans she loses.
No wonder Lan Shirou was very tornted and sick when talking to soone. Imagine siphoning another's sin into your body.
When the sin accumulates enough, the Demoness's Sinful Body will generate a powerful energy called Pure Force. And any descendent nourished with this energy will possess the Heart of Saint!
Aih, how poetic yet ironic.
She withstood a hundred thousand if not millions, of sins to birth a single Saint's Heart.
She nad her daughter 'Xueruo' as a wish for her to stay as pure as white snow.
It's not a coincidence.
Fortunately, Lan Shirou t Yu Long at her very last mont. She might appear healthy, but her life force is like a dying spark of fire amidst sinful rainstorms.
To solve her problem, Yu Long has three possible ways.
First, create a light-based profound art that matches Demoness's Sinful Body and let Lan Shirou ta it herself.
Second, forcibly strip 'Demoness's Sinful Body' from her forever, but there is a 'huge' chance that she could lose her mory and even her life.
Lastly, modify 'Demoness's Sinful Body' to 'Demoness's Golden Body' with the help of [Kaiju Maker] and Yu Xin's variant blood. This thod is the most 'extre' because Lan Shirou's body will forever change.
Yes, with this thod. Lan Shirou will beco dependent on Yu Xin, possibly becoming her blood servant. It was 'normal' for the Devil's bloodline possessor.
After so ti, Lan Shirou decided to take the third thod.
She wasn't confident with her ability, so 1st thod was a no.
The second thod is even more ridiculous. Even if Lan Shirou lived, her mory would be gone forever.
The third thod is the safest thod despite the flaws.
Turning 'Demoness's Sinful Body' to 'Demoness's Golden Body' took two days, but Lan Shirou was 'finally' freed from her mysterious illness and curse.
Right now, Lan Shirou is as healthy as ever and even begins her profound way. Even though she is only at the 5th Level of Elentary Profound Realm, it was good enough for her to do it in a week.
The Demoness's Golden Body utilized the sin she absorbed throughout the week and turned it into Demonic Golden Light, which nurtured her body and cultivation. There is no 'negative' effect anymore.
Well, she's happy to be alive. And that's all that matters.
On the other hand, Lan Xueruo or Cang Yue was an interesting test subject.
For the sake of the champion's contract, she assud her identity as the Blue Wind Empire's princess, Cang Yue. But Yu Long still called her 'Xueruo' because it sounded nice.
Of course, in an endearing manner.
The Heart of Saint is a 'special' mind from pure heart(soul). It's like Xia Qingyue's Heart of Snow Glazed Glass, but several tis inferior.
It allowed soone to generate Light Elents and train light-based profound arts without restriction. Above all else, Heart of Saint repelled any dark thoughts that plagued its owner.
The conviction brought upon by Heart of Saint is strong enough to make one's talent soar gradually.
The increase won't be apparent, but the possessor would be strong enough to beco a King of Low-Star Realm.
Above all else, the Heart of Saint is 'tightly' intertwined with the Monarch Heart Secret Art. The compatibility is over 1000%, which makes Cang Yue's ability to pry into one's fate and luck more efficient.
Cang Yue also gained affinity toward [Minor Fate Aspect] and [Minor Luck Aspect]. The only weakness is that she couldn't maintain this ability for long.
So, Yu Long modified Monarch Heart Secret Art to see if the effect beca more pronounced.
And the result is better than he expected.
Cang Yue told him the new Monarch Heart Secret Art didn't burden her ntally like the previous version.
By the way, Yu Long also added [Art of Light], [Art of Fire], and [Art of Wind] into the mix because the Monarch Heart Secret Art lacks offensive, defensive, and support moves.
No way in hell Yu Long would let a personal oracle live without protection, no?
Yes, you heard that right.
As Cang Yue advanced further, she might beco Yu Long's personal oracle. She couldn't see much, but it was better than nothing.
Her bloodline is also quite intriguing.
It's from the sa type as the Yu Clan, a Primordial Beast with a wind elent. And the beast was Roaring Wolf Condor.
From the bloodline, one could comprehend [Orthodox - Blue Storm Aspect], [Orthodox - Transformation Aspect], and [Unorthodox - Moon Swallowing Aspect].
Activating the bloodline also increased Cang Yue's talent, allowing her to reach peak Elentary Profound Realm in a week. One might think it was too fast, but the deeper one's understanding, the faster one could cultivate.
...
On the side of Silver Lake, Yu Long lazily lay on a hammock while Cang Yue fed him sliced fruits. The princess has a permanent smile after Yu Long cures her mother.
Thank you is not enough to describe Cang Yue's gratitude.
At first, Cang Yue was baffled by the term 'Test Subject' Yu Long proposed a week ago. In reality, he only took a few drops of their blood and examined their condition occasionally.
As he said, fixing their issues is a simple matter.
Cang Yue truly admired Yu Long from the deepest part of her heart. And for a Heart of Saint's possessor, this statent isn't a simple matter!
A hundred ters away, Xia Qingyue and Hong Guan fought fiercely. Their cultivation base is 'actually' sealed to the 10th Level of the Nascent Profound Realm.
The young girl moved like a slithering snake and threw several symbols that made the air tremble violently.
On the other hand, the red-haired lady used her excellent fla manipulation to defend herself.
After several minutes, they ended up tied.
Cang Yue watched over them and clapped her hand in amazent, "Wow, they are so strong..."
"When could I beco like them?"
"You will reach that realm eventually." Yu Long answered casually.
"Also, their cultivation base is sealed to make things fair."
"If this is a normal fight, Xia Qinyue would lose instantly."
"Eh, Senior Hong Guan, is that strong?" Cang Yue blinked her eyes in surprise.
Yu Long chuckled and returned, "Hong Guan is one of the earliest people I nurtured. She couldn't possibly be an ordinary person."
"But... Xia Qingyue is catching up at a fast pace."
"That girl is a monster talent."
"Big Brother, I heard that!" Xia Qingyue complained while waving her hand at him. She has a cute pout and puffed cheeks.
Yu Long smiled and sensed two presences coming to his location. They are Lily and Ling Ke.
"Young Master~!" Lily has a smile on her face.
"What's the matter?" Yu Long asked while rolling on his hammock.
Ling Ke giggled and stepped forward, "Do you rember the spoiled brat I bullied last week?"
"Hmm, that guy, huh?" Yu Long recalled Gui Hongwei, or sothing makes a commotion outside the Heavenly Gourt Tower.
Ling Ke nodded and added, "He did his job perfectly and complained to his father. The bait has got eaten."
"A small elite army from the Sunflower Dew Empire is moving from the south border and advancing toward the Silver Lake City."
"They would arrive in three hours or so..."
"Wait, wait. Why did the Sunflower Dew Empire suddenly co to this conversation?" Cang Yue was bewildered.
"Also, an army? They stepped into the empire's territory with ill intention."
"Isn't this a declaration of war toward the Blue Wind Empire?"
"Pfft! HAHAHA~!" After hearing that, Lily laughed while slapping her knees.
"War? HOW FUNNY!"
Ling Ke smirked at Cang Yue, "Princess, it seems you haven't realized what kind of deal you made with our Lord Shadow..."
"A War? No, no, this is a one-sided massacre."
"Not for us, but for them!"
Yu Long yawned, "Let's have lunch first."
"Lunch is more important than those imbeciles."
"..." Cang Yue.
"What should I eat?" Yu Long said in deep thought.
"Steak sounds nice."
"Maybe a curry..."
Hello?
An army will co here in three hours, but you still have the mood to have lunch!
Soon, Cang Yue would discover that her champion was beyond her understanding.
