Chapter 592: Chapter 562: Ancient Bloodline Scroll
Yi Zheng looked at that empty rocking chair, his mind filled with question marks, while he also complained, “It’s never early or late, but just now it had to be gone. If it weren’t for my cleverness, I’d have been chopped to death already.”
It seems that clinging to a stronger leg isn’t reliable, and the Book Mountain isn’t safe either. If I want to survive, I must rely on myself.
I can’t be reckless anymore, improving my strength is more important than anything.”
Thinking this, Yi Zheng jumped onto Sun Jinyan’s rocking chair, preparing to sit cross-legged for cultivation.
At this mont, he totally lost the mood to play, only wanted to work hard, break through, and then turn around and hang that woman up on a tree for a whipping!
How crazy can a rabbit be when it feels unsafe?
Just look at Yi Zheng’s past to know.
While Yi Zheng sat on the rocking chair, he did not imdiately enter the state of enlightennt; instead, he began to analyze today’s battle.
His biggest confusion was, why was his defense so freakishly strong!
Facing Su Jin, who was several levels above him, he managed to run back unscathed— that was just miraculous.
At the sa ti, Yi Zheng realized that ever since arriving at West Kunlun, although his strength skyrocketed, he seldom researched the changes in his own strength, so at this mont, he was not all that familiar with his capabilities.
Now settling down, he was ready to start with himself. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy ensures a hundred victories, and the prerequisite for beating soone is to first understand one’s own strength and position.
His Divine Skills were generally around the sixth or seventh level; even the cultivation technique he created had not reached the eighth level so surely it couldn’t withstand Su Jin’s axe. The only thing that might be problematic was the Xuanwu Transformation.
He glanced over at the Xuanwu Transformation and was shocked.
Xuanwu Transformation: Activating the Xuanwu bloodline within the body, transforming into a Xuanwu, elevating one’s whole defense power to the strength of a Divine Level-2 star Super Divine Beast Xuanwu. It ignores attacks from all beings of the sa realm, and when facing the strongest Super Divine Beast’s tactics, it can also block eighty percent of the damage.
Xuanwu Enhancent: In the state of Xuanwu, the more defensive Divine Skills deployed, the stronger the defense.
For every additional defensive Divine Skill, the defense power increases by ten percent.
After reading through, Yi Zheng instantly understood the real secret behind his astonishing defense.
Although he didn’t fully grasp the specific differences between Divine Beasts and Super Divine Beasts, just by thinking with his toes, he knew that Super Divine Beasts were at the level of the four holy beasts—Azure Dragon, Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger—those who dominate a side of the world and suppress the four extres of heaven and earth with terrifying power.
The defense power Yi Zheng now possessed was that of a Xuanwu at its juvenile stage, at a Divine Level-2 star.
With such a Super Divine Beast, other beings of the sa realm, even if they had a level advantage, probably couldn’t break through his defense, right?
Moreover, Yi Zheng had unleashed dozens of defensive Divine Skills in one breath, and his defensive power had multiplied several tis!
With such defense, not to ntion Su Jin, even a ninth-level common expert would dream of harming him!
It’s like, ten pounds of cotton may look impressive, but they can absolutely never cut through a pound of steel—completely different at the species level, a pure suppression of bloodlines.
At this mont, Yi Zheng realized that owning countless bloodlines might be his strongest combat power for now. To not die, it would be right to thoroughly research it.
Countless bloodlines an countless possibilities; thus, the direction of research was also complicated but Yi Zheng didn’t mind, as the one thing he lacked least right now was ti.
In the evening, Sun Jinyan ca back, saw Rabbit ditating, and approached to tap on Rabbit’s head, “Rabbit, it’s getting dark, I’ll take you out to eat sothing delicious, wanna go?”
Yi Zheng didn’t even lift his eyelids, “No thanks, you go ahead, sir. I need to cultivate! I must beco stronger!”
Sun Jinyan was stunned. Earlier in the day, this rabbit was full of curiosity, trying to draw words out of him to follow him out. How co in just a short ti, this rabbit had changed its nature?
However, Sun Jinyan didn’t say much else, patted Rabbit’s head and said, “Alright, then stay put here.
I might not co back for a year and a half, during this ti, keep up your cultivation…”
After speaking, Sun Jinyan rose into the sky and left.
Yi Zheng didn’t pay him any attention and continued to study the bloodlines within him.
However, obviously, researching bloodlines for Yi Zheng, who had limited understanding of them, was a monuntal task. Although he had studied them a bit when he absorbed the Bloodline Golden Core previously, his understanding was still superficial, and advancing further in his research was extrely slow.
At dawn, a figure passed by Yi Zheng and casually asked, “This is the new Little Junior Brother, right? Are you cultivating?”
Yi Zheng didn’t even open his eyes, directly shaking his head, “No, I’m researching bloodline inheritance.”
The figure exclaid in surprise, “Little Junior Brother is indeed a genius, studying things without even going to the Book Sea to look up the materials, but directly with eyes closed, impressive, impressive.”
Then the footsteps of the other person receded.
Yi Zheng felt as if struck by lightning, suddenly opened his eyes, looked back at the towering nine-floor Scripture House behind him, then looked at himself, his old face flushed, and he muttered, “I’m such an idiot, having all these books available and not reading them, but shutting in and studying blindly! Really stupid.”
Looking back again, he just caught sight of the person who had spoken, about to leave far away.
Yi Zheng quickly called out, “Senior Brother, how may I address you?”
The person turned around, revealing a face of unprecedented tranquility and indifference, as if his features were crafted onto serenity itself. His eyes were as clear as water and as gentle as jade, devoid of any disturbance, seemingly unaffected by anything in the world.
He was very handso, and his deanor was even better.
Even Yi Zheng had to admit, of all the people he had t, this man was the gentlest and the handsost!
The man smiled slightly, “My na is Lingyu, currently in charge of cleaning the first floor of the Scripture House, is there sothing you need, Little Junior Brother?”
Yi Zheng imdiately bowed, “Yi Zheng pays respect to Senior Brother Ling, if Senior Brother Ling is free, could you show around the first floor? Or, um… help find so books about Bloodline Heritage? I feel it’s better to learn from the achievents of our predecessors rather than trying to formulate sentences behind closed doors.”
Lingyu nodded, “I see, just a mont.”
After speaking, Lingyu turned to walk towards the Scripture House and soon ca out with a sheepskin scroll, a box of bamboo slips, thirteen jade slips, and three books.
He placed the items in front of Yi Zheng and said, “These are books related to Bloodline Heritage, not very profound just so common materials, the more advanced ones are on the second floor. After you finish these, let know, and I’ll fetch the ones from the second floor for you.”
Looking at the books before him, Yi Zheng thanked him repeatedly with joy, “Thank you Senior Brother Lingyu, I’ll treat you to tea soti.”
Yi Zheng could see that Lingyu’s deanor was very indifferent, like he cared little about everything; he was like a breeze that when blown by, cooled others yet left nothing of himself behind, nor glanced back, just like a passerby in this world.
This lofty, solitary, and noble temperant made Yi Zheng a bit embarrassed to invite him for a al or drink, as it seed only fitting to invite him for tea.
Lingyu laughed and said, “No need, reading together so ti will suffice.”
Then Lingyu bid farewell and left. At the door, he truly turned into a gentle breeze and disappeared.
Watching Lingyu’s departing figure, Yi Zheng smacked his lips, and said in wonder, “This Senior Brother Lingyu’s deanor is truly of a divine level! If he were on Earth, he could probably outshine all handso n by doing nothing.”
Yi Zheng shook his head, scattering Lingyu’s image from his mind, and turned to look at the books beside him, chuckling, “I thought Bloodline Skills were difficult?
Just a few books like this!
After I finish these, when I encounter that busty woman again, I should be able to put up a fight.”
With that thought, Yi Zheng picked up a scroll of bamboo slips.
Bamboo slips were once popular on Earth, but because they couldn’t carry much text and were both large and heavy, they were eventually replaced by paper.
Yi Zheng thought that there must be little content within the bamboo slips, intended to start simple and then progress to the more difficult, solidifying his knowledge robustly and powerfully.
However, when Yi Zheng actually opened the bamboo slips, he was astounded!
First, the bamboo slips, which weren’t very large, couldn’t be fully unfolded all at once; he tried throwing one end on the ground, and pulling the other end out, and unexpectedly pulled out eight hundred ters and it wasn’t even complete!
Yi Zheng stared dazed, mumbling, “I forgot, this darn place is a world of immortals! How could bamboo slips be the sa as those on Earth?”
Yi Zheng then examined the sheepskin scroll, which was just like the bamboo slips, small when rolled but nearly endless when opened, the detailed records of various demon beasts, divine beasts, and divine entities’ bloodlines…
The language was sowhat abstruse, and Yi Zheng found it very tough to understand.
The few books seed to have endless pages…
His favorite were the jade slips; after infusing spiritual power and slapping them onto his head, the knowledge transferred directly into his Sea of Consciousness in the form of a huge ancient scroll, which Yi Zheng could slowly read at his convenience.
Nevertheless, each book recorded different content, so Yi Zheng couldn’t be choosy and had to read them one by one.
However, the content was indeed sowhat dry, much like reading the Classic of Mountains and Seas in his previous life—no story, just dry introductions.
On the upside, it was all knowledge points; on the downside, the more he read, the bigger his headache beca.
Lingyu returned after a day out, only to find a rabbit in the courtyard of the Scripture Pavilion, its butt stuck up in the air, seriously reading from a bamboo scroll.
He was a bit surprised, then smiled slightly, nodded, and entered the Scripture Pavilion.
In the middle of the night, Lingyu ca out and found the rabbit was still reading. He quietly placed an oil lamp next to the rabbit, who seed unaware and focused intently on the book…
Lingyu left.
By the next morning when Lingyu returned, he found the rabbit with bloodshot eyes and its breath disordered, sitting there panting, obviously tired from reading.
Just as Lingyu was about to say sothing, a series of footsteps ca, and at the sa ti, a murderous aura lingered outside the courtyard of the Scripture House.
The rabbit perked up suddenly, looking much more alert.
At the main gate, there stood a woman with an extrely flamboyant figure, holding a big axe, who had appeared unknowingly, coldly staring at the rabbit in the yard.
Seeing Su Jin, the rabbit quickly cried out, “Don’t ss around, this is the Scripture Pavilion! If you cause trouble, Book Mountain won’t let you off!”
