--- Chapter 18 ---

Over two months later.

Since the incident with Xia Qingyue, Yu Long's mood feels sour and complicated every day.

After all, Yu Long led Xia Qingyue astray from her heroine path, but maybe this isn't a bad thing.

She awakened Heart of Snow Glazed Glass earlier than it should have and even asked him to teach her. What kind of teaching did she want? They are literally the same age.

On top of that, it seems he was the one who triggered this awakening.

And what can Yu Long do? Except blame himself for playing a mysterious and wise character in front of the fucking heroine.

Rejecting Xia Qingyue back then would be counterproductive.

As a resourceful person and expert researcher, Yu Long would rather have someone like Xia Qingyue with the Nine Profound Exquisite Body, Heart of Snow Glazed Glass, and 90% Primordial Energy of Divine Stainless Body than piles of useless duplicated subjects.

He could do many things with Xia Qingyue as his subject.

That's why Xia Qingyue became his assistant now, as her learning speed toward knowledge is godlike. Of course, what she learned the most is how to be open about herself.

She has grown from an apathetic young girl to a sweeter version of herself that the original story didn't have.

Haha, fuck the plot!

Aside from that, Yu Long also cracked the outer layer of Evil God's Fire Seed with his [Kaiju Maker] and comprehended the initial level of Fire Law.

Although it was only the initial level of the Fire Law, the [Scarlet Dragon Aspect] he owned gained a qualitative change and became a brand new aspect called [Crimson Dragon Aspect].

Yu Long could wield extreme fire above Sky Profound Realm now. It helps so much in the field of blacksmithing and alchemy.

After staying in the Xia Manor for three months, Yu Long also increased his cultivation base to the 10th Level of the Nascent Profound Realm.

Not high enough? With Yu Long's cultivation speed, how could he achieve so little?

The answer is He wanted to uncover the secrets of every cultivation realm. Upon entering the Nascent Profound Realm, Yu Long could exert profound strength and absorb the power of heaven and earth.

The essence of it was to have a connection with the world. Why would Yu Long hurry when he knows the best for himself?

With the addition of [Arts of Ghost] and [Arts of Violet Mist], Yu Long's profound strength is much purer and more refined than practitioners in the same cultivation realm.

Thanks to the balance of Yin(Darkness) and Yang(Light) elements in his body, Yu Long's foundation is very stable as he could feel a surprise would happen when he reached the Sky Profound Realm.

Sky Profound Realm, Yu Long was curious how it felt to do such a thing without the help of essence spheres and his kaiju.

Yu Long also didn't stay idle with his cultivation. He researched more about profound patterns, aspects, and incarnations.

The profound patterns are the basis of everything. Nature, elements, energy, veins, and arts are 'inherently' built on 'profound patterns' with the example of one's meridian and activation pattern.

Strictly speaking, if one could master every pattern, that person would be invincible. Not only does 'profound pattern' record one's aspects, but it also could unearth something one has never seen before.

For example, profound incarnations!

Unfortunately, profound patterns study is like an infinite space filled with wonders. You made one discovery and opened ten more paths to walk into. Even with [Kaiju Maker], Yu Long barely touched the tip of the iceberg.

On the other hand, the field of profound aspects and incarnations is more successful.

Using [Kaiju Maker] to decode the scarlet dragon's bloodline, Yu Long traced its ancestry and even altered it.

Although the altered bloodlines don't have the original scarlet dragon's power and fire anymore, Yu Long successfully created entry levels of [Yin Dragon Aspect], [Yang Dragon Aspect], [Gale Dragon Aspect], and [Grass Dragon Aspect].

There is an 'entry level' attached to these aspects. And that's because these bloodlines are artificially created and didn't exist in the Primordial Era.

It was the appearance of a new bloodline, making its potential unknown and undiscoverable until someone decided to explore it themselves.

At the moment, only two tests, excluding Yu Long, succeeded.

Those two tests are Lily and Hong Guan, respectively.

Lily received [Yang Dragon's Bloodline] and [Grass Dragon's Bloodline], awakening their aspects. Not long after, her cultivation soared to the 4th Level of Earth Profound Realm.

Meanwhile, Hong Guan received [Yin Dragon's Bloodline] and[Gale Dragon's Bloodline]. Just like Lily, she awakened her aspects, and her cultivation erupted to the peak of Earth Profound Realm.

These experiments show using bloodlines to awaken profound aspects is 'actually' more orthodox than forcibly implanting them. It also answered Yu Long's question about how Divine Beasts and Gods give their inheritors abilities and perks from some drop of blood.

Those Divine Beings must have condensed their inheritance, energy, power, and profound aspects into their blood.

At the same time, Yu Long's research on profound incarnations is flourishing.

The [Manifestation Aspect] is truly a work of art. It could awaken something it shouldn't and achieve impossible things.

At the same time, Yu Long also discovered its limitations.

Humans couldn't have more than three aspects. For now, that is.

Adding more profound aspects means an extra burden on one's body and spirit, ultimately killing that person. Thankfully, Lily and Hong Guan don't want [Tyrannical Aspects] after he explains its effect.

They didn't want to become muscular like Xia Yuanba. Women like to be beautiful and pleasant to the eyes, okay?

Of course, there is an expectation of this rule. Yu Long is different as he was [Kaiju Maker] and a literal founder of these fields.

Back to the topic, Lily and Hong Guan received [Altered Yun Clan's Bloodline] and awakened the initial level of [Manifestation Aspects].

They didn't awaken 'Profound Handle' like any Yun Clan member because Yu Long didn't think it was necessary. The [Manifestation Aspect] is the foundation behind this clan's unique ability.

Yun Clan seemingly has restricted their bloodlines. The 'Profound Handle' can be inherited by male and female members but can be passed on only by male members who possess the Yun Family bloodline. Female progeny can inherit but not pass on the ability.

But they would have never thought such an abnormality like Yu Long with [Kaiju Maker] existed. Yu Long didn't simply adjust Yu Clan's bloodline so others could wield it. He also modified its given ability.

Anyway, after awakening their [Manifestation Aspects], they also start the sign of projecting profound incarnations. They trained hard, unlike Yu Long, who could already use his 'profound incarnation' immediately.

So, Yu Long ordered them to show him their profound incarnations when they could materialize.

And as usual, Yu Long's schedule is busy.

However, this is also time to make his second kaiju!

...

Xia Manor, Study Room.

Yu Long leaned on the table and drooled slightly.

Xia Qingyue sat down not far away from him. She has a book and pencil in her delicate hands, writing about the foundation of profound ways based on one's veins and cultivation arts.

She has learned a lot under Yu Long's teaching. Something other teachers her father hired couldn't achieve.

"And done..." Xia Qingyue finished her daily note, tracing 54 profound entrances in the human body and their efficient circulation pattern.

She looked around for a bit and walked to Yu Long. She looked at his handsome face and put on a dreamy look.

After awakening something within herself two months ago, Xia Qingyue started to have an ability to see other's nature and personality.

She has seen good souls and many bad ones.

For example, many female servants in the Xia Manor desired Xia Hongyi(her father because of his deep pocket and wanting to be his mistress.

Even though she was only ten, their desire disgusted her.

Her father is a loyal man. Even after six years, he never forgets about her mother.

Compared to them, Yu Long's soul is a million times better. It was golden in color and burned like a bright star, releasing conqueror-like might and power to achieve something beyond common sense.

"So domineering, pure, beautiful, and full of miracles..." Xia Qingyue said in satisfaction. She has never been bored when looking at Yu Long's soul, even developing an addiction thanks to it.

Who would like to see ugly things when something like this exists?

Girls like beautiful things, and even Xia Qingyue is no exception.

Placing a blanket over Yu Long, Xia Qingyue smiled and said, "We haven't eaten anything today."

"Maybe I should cook for Yu Long for once..." Xia Qingyue also wants to show Yunlong her girl quality.

Unknown to Xia Qingyue, Yu Long actually wasn't fully asleep.

He's floating in the Inner World with Woby, deciding the second kaiju he should make.

"Fuck, so many options!" He released a frustrated groan.

"Nyuu, nyuu!" Woby pointed at itself.

Yu Long smiled wryly, "No, Woby. No more slime for now."

"Nyuu..." Woby deflated in disappointment.

Yu Long sighed and patted the slime, "I will make more slime friends for you later."

"For now, we need a more versatile and helpful friend."

"Nyuu!" Woby nodded in understanding.

After a while, Yu Long finally decided. He needed a kaiju with more spirituality and innate mental power. Yes, something that can make illusions and manipulate psychics' energy.

Fortunately, he encountered some profound beasts with this ability in the past. The essence sphere's amounts are enough to make his second kaiju's base.

"Okay, let's start..."

Woby watched its maker selecting several essence spheres and was fascinated by the brilliant color.

Vortex appeared one after another, merging into one entity completely.

Yu Long shaped his second kaiju carefully.

And after several hours.

"Done."

A beautiful-looking kaiju hovered before Yu Long and Woby.
