55 Overlord Realm

'I see, so the Phoenix Empire spread out through the continent and took large chunks of the Grand Asura Nation extremely fast. At Asura's weakened state, other Nations took chunks of Asura's lands as well. Making it lose around 70% of its lands.'

Qianye Ying'er read through the current situation of the Profound Sky Continent. 

Her pieces in this match are extremely overbearing. She has the Divine Phoenix Empire, which is half of the Continent, Black Moon Merchant Guild, which can plant false information for her.

Three out of four Sacred Grounds. 

Yes, all this is the current power of the Floating Cloud Sect. Her Master wants her to scheme against his enemies, and he wants to dominate the continent without even going to war.

This is where her scheming comes to play. 

The thing was, there was not much she needed to do. It's kinda easy, even boring. 

The blonde Goddess needs to release some fake information and make the remaining Empires scramble. 

Maybe something like Phoenix Empire is thinking of invading some empires; this will make them run into Floating Cloud Sect's hands.

Or make them fight each other and then allow the Divine Phoenix Empire to absorb whatever is left. 

This was so easy, and she had so many choices that it was boring!

However, she won't complain; she doesn't care. What she wants is her Master's attention after he learns that she has finished her tasks.

'In this case, he wants as many of them alive as possible.' 

This means fake information. 

'Fine, let's spread some information and make the Phoenix Empire play along.'

After coming up with a decision, the blonde left her 'planning' room and rushed to the Black Moon Merchant Guild Branch in the city.

"What can I do for you, miss?" 

Qianye Ying'er swiftly walked over and showed her a talisman.

"This is—"

"I am one of the Young Master's subordinates. He taught me to plan Sect's influence, expansion and external politics. Here are the orders; I want this to be spread through the Empires."

The guild elder read through the papers for a second. He stiffly nodded as he realised what was in the paper. 

"Understood. I will send this shortly."

The elder was slightly terrified by the content of the paper. This woman is ruthless.

"My thanks, and do inform the Phoenix Empire; tell them it's an order approved by Young Master." As she said that, she waved the talisman. The blonde had the authority of the Young Master.

'That's some confidence he has in her to give that away.' The elder thought with a sweaty forehead.

After giving the orders, the blonde looked around for a bit.

More specifically, the prices of pills.

'Hmm, quite cheap; I assume it's because it's the branch guild in this city specifically.

These pills most likely cost much more outside the Sect Grounds.'

Though she noticed that only base pills are sold here. Soul cleansing, blood purity, and some other broken ones are not even for sale.

'Hmm, I could entice some people with those then! To help me accelerate the fall of the continent.'

After coming up with more ways to cause chaos, the blonde left the terrified elder. He, after all, saw the look the blonde had.

~~~~~~Xiao Long~~~~~~

It took a while, but with help from my ladies and the Fairies, I finally achieved [Tyrant Profound]. Feng Qianhui helped me to reach [Ninth of Emperor Profond] after spending a few days 'training', and then the other three assisted in helping to leap into [Tyrant Profound].

I don't usually like staying at late stages like [Ninth of Emperor Profound], so it was a no-brainer to spend some time to reach that Overlord. 

However, this made me remember the Dragon God Trials. The absurd amount of Profound Beasts one had to kill at a limited time.

Those Profound Beasts are up to four or even five small realms higher. This means if I go there at the middle to late stages of Overlord, some of them could be Monarchs. 

'[Sovereign Profound] Cores!' 

Just imagining this makes me all excited! I could make the Monarch Awakening Pill! Improve the Formation Cores! 

Damn, so many uses for those!

Then it's decided! Time to start cultivating! Most of the foundations of the sect are done anyway!

With that excitement, I proceeded to test out the Cultivation tower on Xiao Island. 

I spent the whole day there, and I was closer to the next small realm by around 10-15%, so it's quite impressive, considering it was the Overlord realm.

At midday, I remembered that I had picked up new runes, so after spending the whole day cultivating regularly, I went to test the runes the next morning.

The location for that was the top of the mountain in the middle of Xiao Island. It's the most open and remote part of Sect. Well, most of the time, as everyone is cultivating, I can go crazy here. 

First, I created a barrier wall and then proceeded to test out the Language of Gods. 

"Thou one shall not pass through this wall." 

The text glowed; it was overbearing and very powerful.

Most importantly, I felt an enormous drain on my reserves! Which made my breathing get out of control.

"Haah-Haah-Haah" 

I was tired as hell! It drained almost all of my Profound Energy.

After taking a deep breath, I calmed myself; at that moment, a golden radiance surrounded me. 

This glow started to stabilise my Profound Energy and Cultivation base.

"Hmm? Interesting." 

It's like Brahma's powers assist me in control of the power itself.

'Very curious, I will remember this.'

Regardless, after recovering, I walked forward and inspected the barrier wall, which was not a barrier wall anymore. No, it was as if it was part of the very fabric of existence and is as solid as one gets.

I used my Thunderstorm Blade art and tried to cut it. But all it did was leave a mark on the wall! The beam sabre-like move did nothing! 

"What a powerful thing! No wonder godly arts are simple words; isn't the thing left behind by the Ancestral Goddess just a pile of words?" I mumbled to myself as I just found out something absurd. 

Another reason to boost my cultivation is just so that I could improve some of my Profound Arts.

After thinking more about the uses for 'Language of True Gods', I proceeded to descend back into the clan grounds. 

"Master Long! Wait!" 

My gaze went to the side where I saw rushing Cang Yue, the Princess, who was like a missile, slammed into me.

"What is it? You look excited." I asked with amusement as I hugged the beautiful Princess. 

"I made an interesting pill! I want to show you." The girl said with a gushing tone.

"Sure, let's go." 

My hands sneaked around her waist before picking her up. With a burst of speed, we appeared in front of my warehouse. 

"Waa? Your cultivation increased quite a bit!" 

"Yeah, I suppose. Reached Overlord recently." 

"Wow, and here I am, excited about my [Sky Profound]."

"That's quick," I remembered that she was in the middle stages [Earth Profound] last time around.

"You took the Sky Profound Awakening pill?"

This was where she puffed her impressive chest.

"I made one myself! And I have another one for my Royal Father."

I nodded with an impressed look. The pills can be difficult to make when you are not of the said level. You have to control the flow of energies way above one's level. Seeing what Cang Yue could do, she truly has an impressive talent for 'cooking'.

'That reminds me, I should teach her how to cook, the Profound way. This way, she will be even more amazing.'

"Good; if this pill is amazing as you say it is, I will teach you another impressive art."

A smile appeared on her beautiful face as she nodded at me.

"Don't worry! I am certain it's good!"

Seeing how confident she was, we entered the warehouse; she quickly walked over to the pill reader and placed the pill there. 

A barrier wall appeared above it, showing what this pill was.

[Pill of Restoration of Natural Lifeforce]

[Effect: Gradual Restoration of Lifeforce]

[Potency: Depending on Cultivation]

[Duration: Gradual]

[Counter Effects: Doesn't Work on People with Strong Lifeforce]

*Whistle*

"You continued to work on the Vitality root even after I patched your old man?"

To my question, she blushed quite hard.

"In a way? I thought there were different ways to use it. The way you created it, it simply adds extra life force, so it's not that good on an already diminished life force. 

So I looked through the Black Moon Merchant Guild catalogue and ordered materials which rejuvenate life force instead of just adding it."

"Oh, I see. So you added that into the mix instead of simply adding it, you inject the regenerative properties of vitality and life force into one's body instead of just adding extra." I nodded with realisation. Did this girl just find a way to eternal life!? Hell, with this, you can be a peasant and still live a very long life! 

"Yes, however, I don't think it's powerful."

"I am certain. You didn't use any Profound Cores or Crystals to improve the potency."

"You are right! I think this could be extremely powerful if we mix those two."

I nodded at her thoughtful words. 

"S-So, what do you think?" Cang Yue asked me with a not so confident tone now.

"You just invented partial immortality. Do I need to tell you that this is amazing?"

This time she bashfully blushed while looking away.

"F-Fair enough, especially when you put it like that."

To her bashful actions, my hand wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer. Her eyes widened as she was caught off guard. 

"I promised to teach you something, so here it is."

Instead of a simple forehead transfer, I decided to innovate and use another, more intimate method.

So, I leaned forward and claimed the Princess' lips; this made her blush increase to another level, as even her ears turned red. 

That moment I taught her 'Profound cooking', another form of alchemy, but this one is a more unique and exotic way to use Profound energy.

After teaching her the method, we proceeded to kiss some more as my hands explored her curves. Cang Yue didn't even bother to stop, as she was into it even more than I was.

Eventually, it ended as I pulled back. 

"Wow~ What an incredible lesson this was!" The Princess said with glazed eyes.

"It was now; why don't you show me how to do it?"

A pout appeared on her lips when she heard my request.

"Fine. But I demand more attention from you in future!" She demanded that with a cute huff.

"No worries, you will be cooking for me, so we will have time to be together."

This made her smile return with force.

"Alright! Then it's settled!"

After this, the Princess showed me in person how she made the pill. It was difficult as she was using my techniques; as they say, her style has my influence all over it. 

What she added to the regular mix is regenerative vines; once they are turned into liquid essence, they are absorbed by Desert Flower essence. But for this, she used two desert flowers, one to fill up the regenerative essence and another to fill up vitality. 

Once the pair are full to the brim, they start to merge in a layered fashion for a prolonged pill's effect time.

"Fascinating. Your alchemy is quite good."

"C-Can I get an award for being a good student~?" She asked with a suggestive tone.

"Oh?"

"Yep! I want another kiss~."

I sighed and proceeded to do just that, well, it did escalate into a long kissing session, but nothing happened after that. Though I can feel that Cang Yue was planning something after the session was over, she swiftly left to do something.

After the Princess left, it was only me in the warehouse. 

My gaze went to the stairs which led to the Bloodline Forge. 

For a moment, I thought about this. 

'Hmm, I have everything needed to improve blood potency. Just need to adjust it for a bit.'

I pulled out the Bloodline Forge core and walked over, and placed it on the pedestal; moments later, tablet commands manifested around me. 

This was where I added some extra commands to the core; think of them as 'options' in a video game.

Instead of splicing something off, I decided to add a command. This will allow more profound energy flow and empowers the potency of blood itself.

After finishing the adjustments, I collected the core and went downstairs.

Once there, I placed the core in the anvil, and the Forge came to life. 

The next step was to cut my hand and get some blood; with the Slaughter attribute, it was quite easy. 

The moment I had enough blood, the regen swiftly healed the cut.

With enough blood, I placed it on the anvil and proceeded to select option two and then turn it on.

The formation hummed with power as arrays made Profound energy flow into the blood. 

I watched how the percentage started to grow. The first boost was quite quick. 

Just from seeing how quickly the whole process was, I deadpan at this!

"Of course, quick, my family's genes are average after all."

After this, I collected the blood; it had congested into a single drop. 

Slowly I brought it close to my face, right between my eyebrows. 

The moment it merged with me, I felt a surge. 

The blood inside my body reacted to improved blood which just entered my body, and it rapidly started to circulate through my veins. 

Such a reaction started to rapidly increase my cultivation, though not enough to get a breakthrough. 

Cultivation increase is nothing more than a side effect as the main effect is the potency of blood itself.

I could feel how my tattoos burned from the increase in power. I have no doubt the boost in power was quite significant.

'Phew… this was quite intense.'

After getting the boost, I spend several more hours circulating the cultivation base and waiting for my blood to calm down.

Once it was done, I proceeded to repeat the process and cut my hand— it was more difficult now because my regenerative powers got a boost and got even better.

But it was done, eventually, and this time the process of boosting the blood was much longer than before. 

'I guess three will be the limit once again.'

After waiting an extended amount of time, the process of boosting the potency of the blood drop was done.

This time around, there was a certain amount of glow on it. This has shown that the blood had potent power inside of it.

Gently I took the blood drop and proceeded to consume it.

The moment it fused with my body once again, my blood reacted to it, and once again, the blood circulation went crazy, trying to spread the potency through my whole body.

The tattoos on my left hand started to feel that they were burning once again.

After another few hours, I finally sighed in relief. 

My cultivation went up throughout this whole ordeal. I finally experienced a breakthrough to [Second of Tyrant Profound].

As I called forth my aura, it was much thicker than before, much more than a regular Overlord should have. 

This means that just from my base strength alone, I can leapfrog in a fight, not to mention my Profound arts.

Testing this out would be fantastic, but I stay far too long in my warehouse basement. 

So, I quickly left and went upstairs and right outside. 

"Young Master?" 

I heard the voice of one of my maids.

"What is it?"

"Lady Xiao has been looking for you."

Her words made me raise my eyebrow; how long have I been away?

"I see. How long have I was away?" I asked curiously.

"Umm, just around four days."

"Oh."

For a second, I was shocked, and with a nod, I flew right away back to my manor.

I guess I will have to think of ways to make my darling wife forgive me for missing our dinner. 

~~~~~~Later~~~~~~

"Long'er, you said there is another great pill for us?" Xiao Li asked his grandson.

"Not me; Cang Yue came up with the recipe; I only improved some things on it." 

The gathered elders looked stunned for a second! They have another extremely talented individual already!?

"Oh? The Princess did it? I didn't expect she would develop into such an impressive Alchemist so quickly." The Sect Master said with a surprised tone.

This was incredible, to say the least!

"So, what is this pill?" 

"It's a Life force rejuvenating pill." 

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Young Master, are you saying that this pill can rejuvenate life force? In other words, prolong life!?" The Medical Hall Elder Xiao Gu said with utter shock and disbelief!

"Exactly, and this is not like my original vitality pills; while they prolong life, they don't bring youth itself back. This, however, does."

"T-This… how powerful is this?" 

The elders just realised that they most likely could achieve true immortality here! 

"Depends on what kind of Profound cores and how many crystals are added to the mix." Xiao Long explained as he watched everyone closely.

He could trust the pair of fairies here, and Feng Qianhui and Gong Yuxian had a minor interest, but other people, who were pursuing longer life instead of proper cultivation, were thinking of switching to these pills.

This was what he disliked the most; he was planning to make his clan, his Sect, the ultimate powerhouse in Primal Chaos.

He has no interest in leeches. 

'I guess it's about time I start enforcing the law, discipline, and loyalty in my Sect; we have taken Xiao Sect trash and many other people with pure greed intentions, Soul purifying pills or not.'

As he thought about that, a plan started to form in his mind.
