Chapter 518: Chapter 63: Idiot, eat my furnace!
Bloodline witchcraft cos in many forms, and aside from the Bloodline Seeds that Richard was most familiar with, the most popular in the Wizard World was the hybrid path.
This path allowed for the fusion of bloodlines, thereby obtaining so special talents or abilities of Aliens. The price, however, was the transformation of both physical form and mind.
The physical body and spiritual power of a creature are not isolated entities; they are closely linked. When a creature’s body changes, its mind will also subtly shift.
Such changes can only be slowed but are inevitable.
Richard was never fond of this path. Although he wasn’t a staunch advocate of humanism, he was extrely cautious about changes to the mind.
Physical changes, for a wizard, especially an Alchemy Wizard, were trivial.
Wizards who underwent chanical modifications looked even less human than those half-blood Wizards. But such changes of the mind sparked a deep-seated fear in Richard.
It wasn’t a ntal change brought on by external influences, which gave him an inner terror of possession.
But now, he had to cast aside that fear.
Richard told himself, “While the influence of a Bloodline on the mind can’t be stopped, it is not irreversible. All will be as before once I strip away this Bloodline in the future.”
Soon, the Tower Master brought the Elixir to the cave. After receiving the Elixir, Richard made an excuse of healing his wounds to send the guest away.
After the Tower Master left, Richard blocked the entrance to the cave with a large rock again. After having Ulysses confirm there was no one spying on him, he entered the Secret Realm.
The process of mixing blood was straightforward, but during the process, wizards tended to fall into an unclear state of mind for a ti.
Thus, for safety, he had to enter the Secret Realm to proceed with the mixing.
Arriving at the experintal platform, Richard took out a third-level Wild Beastman corpse from his pocket, expressionlessly cut it into small pieces, and placed them in the Alchemy Array on the platform.
This corpse belonged to one of the Sect Leaders of those eleven Sects; after wiping out those Sects, he collected the third-level Wild Beastman corpses.
Those with rules, he extracted the rules from. The ones without were used as experintal materials and specins, which just happened to be needed now.
Although the Wild Beastn Race had various special Physiques, Richard didn’t intend to, nor could he afford to, make big changes.
An ordinary Wild Beastman Bloodline was sufficient.
With the help of the Alchemy Array, Richard extracted a test tube worth of Bloodline substrate from the corpse. Next, he had to mix various materials with this Bloodline substrate to turn it into a qualified Bloodline Potion.
The process of making the Magic Potion was not complicated; any professionally educated wizard could easily complete it.
As the next ingredient entered the Alchemy Pot, there was a loud “bang,” and a blood-red smoke rose from the pot.
Under the effect of the Alchemy Array, the materials and the Bloodline substrate fused perfectly.
Taking out the Bloodline Potion, it looked crystal clear, floating in the air like a gemstone.
Richard didn’t use physical instrunts but instead directly conjured a syringe with Magic Power to inject it into his own veins.
Before the Bloodline Potion’s effects set in, Richard continuously applied ten Jialong Physique Sealing Skills to himself, sealing his combat strength to the lowest.
Then, he had the Holy Tree Elf tie him up with the mycelium of the World Mushroom and called Ulysses and the Snake King to guard him.
His current strength was extraordinary, and should he lose control, soone needed to restrain him.
Ulysses stood in the air in front of him, while the Snake King coiled its body, curiously observing Richard. Bloodline fusion of this kind of witchcraft was new to him.
“Are you ready? I’m going to start the fusion.”
“Begin.”
Ulysses, draped in Holy Light, replied.
Richard no longer resisted the absorption of the Bloodline Potion by his body, and in an instant, he felt a throbbing.
His heart began to beat violently under the influence of the potion, the sound of the heartbeat as loud as a war drum. The intense sound was even clearly audible to Ulysses and the Snake King beside him.
His body turned red as the pounding drumbeat ensued, and changes at the microscopic level spread throughout his body.
Every cell in his body trembled!
Then, there was silence.
Richard’s heartbeat nearly instantly returned to normal, and his congested body slowly returned to its usual state.
At the sa ti, Richard’s senses underwent a slight change.
It was as though he had gained an extra eye. In his perception, he vaguely sensed sothing usually invisible to him.
“Is it over?”
A flicker of doubt crossed Richard’s mind.
Alchemy research on Bloodline fusion was plentiful, and Richard had read about it in Jolod’s Scripture House. As Physiques improved, wizards would exhibit two extre reactions to Bloodline fusion.
One was that wizards would have almost no reaction to Bloodline fusion, smoothly completing the process. The other was a severe reaction to Bloodline fusion, with a process that not only lasted for days but could also bring about life-threatening complications.
But as of now, he seed to be the forr.
After being tied up for a while longer, and once he was sure there was no abnormal reaction in his body, he commanded the Holy Tree Elf to untie his bonds.
“That’s it?” Ulysses curiously looked at Richard. “You don’t seem to have changed at all.”
Richard shook his head: “I don’t know, but I’m sure I’ve successfully fused because my perception has changed.”
Saying so, Richard focused, trying to “see” what those overlooked things were. No matter how hard he concentrated, those things remained shrouded in mist.
“Maybe it’s because of the impurity of the Bloodline,” he thought to himself.
The fusion of the Wild Beastman’s Bloodline was a double-edged sword for Richard; the advantage was that he could now perfectly impersonate a Wild Beastman without detection.
The downside was that he couldn’t use his battle body.
Each battle body’s Bloodline recipe is stringent, and any random addition or alteration of a Bloodline could lead to major problems.
However, after becoming Transcendent, the increase in combat power brought by the Radiant Giant Battle Body was no longer so important to Richard. Temporarily setting it aside was not a problem.
After leaving the Secret Realm, Richard imdiately began to practice the Moving Mountain Sect Martial Arts, Moving Mountain Barbaric Bull Power.
If he was going to play the part, he had to do it thoroughly. As the forr Sect Leader of the Moving Mountain Sect, how could he not know the Sect Martial Arts?
Having acquired the Wild Beastman Bloodline, True Qi was no longer an issue for Richard. The Moving Mountain Barbaric Bull Power was not complex, and with a brief period of practice, Richard had reached the Ninth Layer, where the ancestor of the Moving Mountain Sect once stood.
Even more so, because Richard had read so many Martial Arts Secrets Techniques these days, he had made modifications to the Moving Mountain Barbaric Bull Power. He had transford this originally overbearing Martial Art into one that balanced fierceness with gentleness.
Before long, after confirming that his disguise was flawless, Richard pushed away the boulder blocking the cave entrance.
When he saw the endless mountains outside, a sudden thrill arose in his heart.
He felt as though he had developed an additional connection to this world.
But quickly, that thrill was decisively cut off by Richard’s will.
There is a taboo in the witchcraft of Bloodline fusion, which is not to go to the world where the origin of that Bloodline resides, because the fused Bloodlines could give the Wizard an illusion, making them feel as if they were also part of that world.
But in reality, he did not belong to this world. They could not touch the World Origin of this world, nor would they be acknowledged by the World Origin.
A Wizard only has one ho, and that is the Wizard World.
Once his seclusion ended, Richard went to the Scripture House to find the Tower Master. A month had already passed since the Tower Master had inford Richard.
The Tower Master ca out of the building, and the mont he saw Richard, he instantly felt that Richard’s deanor had greatly changed.
Although Richard had got along well with him in the past, there had always been an invisible barrier between them. But now, that barrier seed to have disappeared.
“Brother Chu, have you had an epiphany?” the Tower Master exclaid.
Richard chuckled, “Having read so many books, I was bound to make so progress. My injuries have recovered, I wonder if Grandmaster Wuxiang has any ti?”
“Of course, this old man doesn’t have much else, but definitely has plenty of free ti.”
Wuxiang’s voice emanated from within the Scripture House, and the next mont, Wuxiang appeared beside Richard.
He patted Richard’s body and admired, “I never expected that such talent would co from the city below. That you weren’t buried by the ordinary paths of Martial Arts is indeed a fortunate thing.”
Under the dual disguise of the Bloodline Witchcraft and Invisible Face, even from a close distance, Wuxiang was unable to detect anything unusual about Richard.
On the contrary, he was very appreciative of the potential he saw before him.
He praised inwardly, “Robust in Qi and blood, a clear Spiritual Platform, this young man called Chu Yuan is considerably powerful.”
As a World Master, he had a “clear” perception of Richard’s body. He was sure that Richard was indeed the Martial Arts Master he had been seeking to take the position of Sect Master.
Moreover, judging by Richard’s appearance, he most likely had an exceptional Talent in the Divine Dao as well, and after practicing the Faceless Holy Scripture, he might even achieve the status of Grandmaster.
“Kid, you have good fortune. I have a huge opportunity for you. If you agree, I will help you break through the third shackle and beco the new Sect Master of Wuxiang Valley.”
Upon hearing this, Richard feigned shock, but he did not imdiately agree, instead inquiring about the reasons for this offer.
As a Sect Leader, he certainly couldn’t imdiately consent to a request that seed to good to be true, like a pie falling from the sky.
To Richard’s questions, Wuxiang had no displeasure and after explaining the reasons and requirents, Richard agreed very readily.
By asking Richard to beco the Sect Master, Wuxiang expected him to guard the developnt of Wuxiang Valley and not betray the interests of the Sect.
For this, he also had Richard swear the Heart Demon Oath.
As for this, Richard felt no psychological pressure. Wuxiang Valley was very important to Richard; it not only endorsed his identity but was also a force supported by the Wizard in the future.
How could he possibly betray the interests of Wuxiang Valley?
Moreover, the only oath with restraining power over a Wizard was a Sea of Souls Oath, breaking this Heart Demon Oath would have no consequences.
After taking the oath, Wuxiang took Richard to a quiet room.
This quiet room was protected by a Qi n Array, not only free from any disturbance of noise but also able to collect the surrounding natural Qi (Magic Power) to assist Martial Artists.
Here, he handed a tube of golden liquid to Richard.
“This is a Spiritual dicine of the ancestors, it can help you break through the mortal limits. I will protect you now, you just take the dicine and break through.”
Richard looked at the Spiritual dicine in front of him, and although he felt it was a pity, he did not hesitate and swallowed the tube of Spiritual dicine.
He then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to feign a breakthrough.
He himself had already transcended the mundane, and later he just needed to put on so reactions and then act out a difficult breakthrough.
But just as Richard was feigning his breakthrough, he suddenly sensed a spiritual invasion.
This invasion was extrely subtle, and if his spiritual power hadn’t already exceeded the limits of third-level creatures, he would have never noticed it.
In an instant, Richard’s thoughts raced, and he imdiately understood the origin of this invasion.
“This old guy really has so tricks up his sleeve!”
However, Richard did not hinder the invasion, instead, he allowed it to penetrate his Soul.
On the other side, Wuxiang only felt that the Spiritual Platform of this young man was a bit peculiar.
How could the Spiritual Platform of an ordinary master be so expansive?
But he did not mind, as enormous as this Spiritual Platform seed, its quality was too low; it was practically no different from paper compared to his Divine Intents.
After invading the Spiritual Platform, he imdiately began to infiltrate it, preparing to leave a seed in the soul when he started his efforts.
But as soon as he acted, he felt a terrifying presence from the paper-thin Spiritual Platform.
An inexplicable lter erged from the Spiritual Platform, followed by a mocking phrase.
“Fool, take my lter!”
