Converging, Cultivating

Lin Ping went on to the next topic. 'Right. For this new body, I did some experiments and found out I have the Divine Beloved Lightning Bloodline! I'm geared towards the Dao of Lightning again!'

'Divine Beloved?' Lin Xiang's eyes brightened. 'Out of the Divine tier of bloodline, this one is absolutely high tier! You know, I even witnessed a very select few terrifying True Venerable masters with this bloodline. Those inherent skills are quite overpowering.'

Innate talent like this was more than enough to meet Lin Xiang's eyes. Comparing Lin Ping's Divine bloodline to Lin Wu's Royal bloodline was like comparing heaven to dirt mud!

Lin Ping's bloodline completely surpasses Lin Wu's by thousands, if not tens of thousands of times. The amount of World Source energies and Great Dao essence particles fused into her very being would allow her cultivation base speed to soar to true heights.

Lin Ping also giggled with excitement. 'Yep, yep! With this bloodline, I can easily surpass this lower realm world in a few years, at the very least. Moreover, when comparing my comprehension of my previous life, this new bloodline would make me far superior to an utterly unfathomable level. It's a shame that I can't figure out its star ranking yet. So? What about you, brother?'

For a moment, Lin Xiang paused. He had to consider the most important thing to tell her during this short conversation.

Of course, he had no need to keep this so-called 'system' a secret. But at the same time, they needed to understand the depths of each other talent so they can plan accordingly in the future.

Thus, Lin Xiang began with his active abilities first. "For me, my body has the Absolute Yin-Yang bloodline at black grade. And I was gifted an inheritance called the Desire Art.'

The line went completely silent for a moment. What Lin Xiang calmly mentioned ran through Lin Ping's mind like a thunderstorm.

She soon let a surprised squeal and loudly exclaimed, 'Wait-wait...black grade?! Black-grade bloodline?! The same one where simply cultivating can cause phenomenons across the universe and propel anyone to the Divine Realms of cultivation in only 8 years at the very least?! This is also the same bloodline that gives a person an automatic combat prowess of at least the peak of their base realm!'

'It's the very one,' Lin Xiang calmly replied. 'You know, I can remember even the few Grand Gods mentioning how rare a black-grade bloodline is. Apparently, they haven't been seen for over two Eras back in our time.'

Even now, Lin Xiang had to thank his luck to be able to obtain a black-grade bloodline. He already had a touch with the specialties of this bloodline back in the Polaris Mountain. The future looked incomparably bright, just with this bloodline alone.

'And now, this era will be for sure dominated by you, me, and brother Zuo! I'm sure whatever he has is as equally overpowering...'

At this point, Lin Ping's voice sounded slightly strained. 'Shit. My soul essence is becoming a bit of a problem. Let's get through the main points first. Just what is this Desire Art?'

'Apparently, the Desire Art generates a force that allows me to absorb any source of energy from the atmosphere and convert it into my own cultivation. I wouldn't even need to worry about the destructive forces from particles of essence. We can discuss this more later. What is your cultivation base as of now?' Lin Xiang promptly asked.

'Ah, just the Body Tempering realm. It seems I awoke quite earlier than I liked to. And this body didn't receive too many resources before.'

'Mn. My body is a bit luckier in this regard. When waking up, my cultivation was at the 4th layer of the Profound realm. Now, it's already at the 6th layer.'

'6th layer?' Lin Ping sounded slightly shocked. But had quickly accepted it. 'Black grade sure is overpowering. Ah, I can feel the time is almost over. Before I go, brother, can you remind me of the specifics?'

'Right. Because of your bloodline, you don't need to worry too much. The Body Training realm is simply about awakening the soul and then using Spirit energy to awaken our meridians. Others would need a cultivation art to study and awaken their souls, which also tells their law affinity. But your bloodline simply gives you the ability to intake Spirit energy after just slightly comprehending your bloodline energy. Afterward, in the Spirit realm, even with your bloodline, don't forget to do separate comprehension of the Lightning Dao. It can help enhance your bloodline comprehension rate.' Lin Xiang spoke all in one breath.

It was a huge load of information. But, with Lin Ping's Dao Heart, she didn't have trouble in taking everything.

She then sighed with lament. 'Ah, I got it, brother. Aiyaa...only if we had more time to talk. But I'm barely hanging on as it is. Of course, we'll talk soon, brother!'

With that, the soul link vanished from Lin Xiang's mind.

Alone, Lin Xiang let out a relaxed sigh. A considerable amount of pressure lessens from him just by that one conversation.

But this didn't mean Lin Xiang was completely relaxed. There was still Gi Zuo's unknown situation and the potential dangers his sister could face while in a lower realm world.

Lin Xiang knew more than anyone else that many higher-ups fear and dislike extreme talents that they can't properly control. The only way to alleviate all of his worries was to rapidly increase his cultivation!

He needed the utmost strength to reunite with his sister, his brother-in-arms, and achieve his desire for revenge!

Lin Xiang's pupils glinted with a freezing chill. Quite literally, a tiny radiance of Ice Law essence flowed from his eyes. 'And all of this will start with comprehending my bloodline...Absolute Yin. It contains different elements, such as death or destruction. Luckily for me, my Absolute Yin covers the complete domain of Absolute Ice!'

Lin Xiang's Spiritual Sea sinks deep into his bloodline's energy. Sensations of Absolute Yin engulfed his mind. The terrifying chill of ice made Lin Xiang feel as if he was thrown into the pits of a frozen hell.

But this didn't disturb Lin Xiang's focus. He took his time in comprehending the tiniest particles within his bloodline energy.

These particles contain both World Source energies and Great Dao essence particles of Absolute Yin!

Revelation slowly unraveled in Lin Xiang's mind. The world around him became gradually unfamiliar to him.

Opening his palms, lights of Ice's essence particles began to manifest. The Ice essence soon converged into many forms. From a valiantly tall Icicle Spear to a long and sharp Ice Sword, to several tiny ice needles, icicle picks, miniature houses, trees, and even flowers.

Lin Xiang's imagination was wide, filled with endless possibilities.

When Lin Xiang created a simple block of ice, he opened his eyes. He gazed into the simple block of ice, simply appreciating its radiant beauty.

A low sigh leaked from his lips. 'Just like with the magnetic pull of flames, staring into Ice is like a hypnotic lullaby. So calming and beautiful. Days, weeks, or even months can pass and I'll never get bored with simply creating ice or painting ice figures.'

The passion for the Dao. It's been quite some time since Lin Xiang could truly revisit his roots.

A large portion of his previous life has been continuous on-the-run situations. Death was around every corner and he needed to perform many brutal, cruel, and even demonic acts just to survive.

For a legendary cultivator that reached the True Venerable realm, such actions never once disturb Lin Xiang's mental state. His Dao Heart was practically indestructible to be affected.

The same could be said for other True Venerable cultivators and even far weaker cultivators. Simply cultivating the boundless Great Dao of the universe completely tempers one mental state.

The firmer one's Dao Heart, the more rock solid the mental state becomes.

Of course, this doesn't mean all other emotions leave with higher Dao Hearts. But rather, stress, burden, and pressure wouldn't be able to disturb one's mental state. Other negative emotions as well would have great trouble messing up a cultivator's firm Dao Heart.

This would also be the reason why countless cultivators can live for millions upon millions of years without experiencing a shred of boredom. Their Dao Hearts were far too firm to encounter a sensation like boredom.

But even with this kind of Dao Heart, Lin Xiang had missed being able to simply appreciate the boundless beauty of the Dao of Ice. He let himself become completely enthralled.

An endless world of ice revealed in his mind as he deeply stared into a simple block of ice. Inside his Spiritual Sea, the complex particles of his Absolute Yin bloodline energy gradually became clearer. His soul essence could soon exert slightly better control over his bloodline.

The gradual understanding of his Absolute Yin bloodline similarly broadened Lin Xiang's Spiritual Sea perception abilities.

The mysteries of the World's energies and the Law of Ice permeating the atmosphere turned clearer.

Hours into his cultivation, Lin Xiang's Spiritual Sea began to unleash a magnetic pulling force. Profound energy and Ice Law essence gradually trailed through his body, fusing into his Qi Sea.

Without being in a concentrated environment like the Polaris Mountain, Lin Xiang could only absorb regular Ice Law essence from the environment.

However, both Profound energy and Ice Law essence were continually refined by his bloodline energy as they fused into his Qi Sea. The quality of both sources of energy increased by dozens of times once refined by Absolute Yin bloodline energy!

The Ice Law essence refined to a point where it can be considered on the same level as Extreme Ice Law essence.

More essence Marks slowly formed within Lin Xiang's Qi Sea. His cultivation base entered a continuous state of enhancement as the comprehension of his bloodline increased.
