44 Yan Shun's Thinking...
As Luo Qing's ship navigated through the skies...
Yan Shun stood quietly in a lotus position. His dantian was gradually collecting Qi from all directions and absorbing them.
"...Mhm..."
However, as Yan Shun continued drawing in the Qi around him, an uneasy sensation suddenly swept through his entire body.
His fists tightened, and a dark-purple aura unexpectedly seeped out from his body.
Yan Shun's hands formed a mysterious symbol as he brought his thumb to his mouth and bit it.
Afterward, he pressed his thumb against his forehead.
Slowly, a bloody red straight line emerged at the center of his forehead, between his eyebrows.
In the middle of this thin line, a small bump appeared, resembling a tiny ruby-red gemstone.
At that single moment, when the bloody red mark appeared, the dark purple aura suddenly got sucked into that same mark.
Yan Shun's expression gradually got calmer as he opened his eyes.
"Fuck... I didn't expect this to happen." He murmured to himself.
"Status."

"Huh... I'm stronger than I thought."
[Obviously, the host has a huge amount of Heavenly Flames and even created an Innate Dao Source Body!]
[You should be invincible in the same realm, but the difference between each big realm is simply too grand.]
"Hah, I guess sacrificing my Spider bloodline granted me a lot of benefits." Yan Shun sighed leaning against the wall.
To create a "Dao Source" body, the user normally needs some kind of Dao-related treasure and that same treasure needs to have a really high grade.
Probably around the Empyrean Grade, and since Yan Shun didn't have any treasured at the Empyrean Grade, he resorted to his spider bloodline.
His bloodline was in the Middle of the Empyrean Grade and it had a close relationship to "Dao" because it was from the Primordial Era.
So, sacrificing his bloodline, Yan Shun was able to create an Innate Dao Source Body that could absorb all the physiques and fuse them into one.
As for the reason he did that?
That same dark purple aura that was leaking from his body.
That was the result of his Chaotic Yin-Yang body going against his Celestial Demon Divine Body.
Because both of them have different "demonic" properties they couldn't be used together.
So, creating a Dao Source body would simply put all of his physiques together and they could simply be used at the same time without any drawbacks.
After all, their "demonic" properties fused with each other.
"By the way, what is this mark between my eyebrows?" Yan Shun curiously asked.
[...It's the "Dao Source". For example, there's a physique called double pupils that physique grants the user immense power and another pupil in each eye.]
[Instead of you having another pupil, you have a small symbol on your forehead. You can call it your second dantian since it also absorbs Qi, so it's like having two dantians.]
"Oh! Now that I noticed, I also broke through. It was easier than I thought." He murmured.
"System, now can I use some treasure that you gave me before?" Yan Shun asked curiously.
Before, he couldn't use the treasured he gained from his master's favorability because he didn't have enough Qi to control them, but now, he probably could use the weakest one.
[...]
From thin air, an exquisitely crafted sword appeared on Yan Shun's lap, however, as he looked at the design he frowned slightly.
"Dawn Of The Night." Those four words came into his mind.
But, as he muttered those words, the black-looking sword suddenly started to shine and the system suddenly brought out more treasures.
Yan Shun's eyes widened as he saw his strongest treasures, the Perfect Empyrean Grade and some High-Grade Empyreans.
"N-no, wait!"
Those treasures simply got absorbed by the sword, and as Yan Shun analyzed he suddenly found out that the sword had reached the Perfect Holy Grade.
"Nooooooo... my treasures!" He cried out.
Those were all the Empyrean babies he had! And they all were sacrificed just for the sword to reach the Perfect Holy Grade level!
[Don't worry, host. We still have more treasure to sacrifice for the sword.]
The system added, just to tease him even more.
However, as Yan Shun held the sword, the sword suddenly seemed to move into his dantian and stood there floating.
And that's when he realized that his Zither had also disappeared. He hurriedly looked in the system's inventory, but he didn't seem to have found it.
"Fuck... fuck fuck!" He gritted his teeth.
"Give me back my Zither!" He loudly screamed.
[...The Zither has fused with the Sword, don't worry. If you hold the sword, you can change it into a Zither...]
[Calm down.]
"...Um." Yan Shun calmed down after hearing his words.
He brought out the sword and sure enough, it transformed into his Zither. He gently held it, stroking the strings tenderly.
"Huff... thank goodness." He sighed in relief.
After all, this Zither has many good memories with him.
He destroyed Ye Chen in the Zither Competition with it...
He played with a melody in front of Yan XinYue's grave...
He used to go to Yao Meili's modest residence to play a song with her, having a lot of fun.
And mainly, he sang and played a melody while his master danced in their little honest residence.
All of those were good memories.
"System... Are you really sure I can revive Yan XinYue's 'that' way?" Yan Shun asked once again.
[Don't worry. As long as you sacrifice your bloodline to give her blood and all of your heavenly treasures, she will indeed be revived.]
[Also, you sealed her soul on Nine-Story Pagoda, and she's currently on the system's inventory, I can sense her condition very easily.]
[There is only one thing... Are you sure you want to sacrifice your heavenly treasures and the Nine Nether's Underworld Phoenix bloodline?]
[Reviving her normally is easy, but if you really want her to cultivate, you'll really need it to give all your heavenly treasures.]
[As I mentioned before, the two divine lotus will preserve the purity of her body and soul, and the bloodline will grant her a talent...]
[And the Heavenly Lighting will give her an attribute. She won't be able to cultivate Fire-related techniques because her bloodline will be in a dormant state.]
[After she reaches the Great World King, she should be able to use her bloodline.]
[...However, are you really sure about your decision? Those treasures are gradeless and their power can transcend... everything if they are grown properly.]
"Yes... I'm sure, I'll revive Yan XinYue when I have enough time." Yan Shun replied without hesitation.
He's been wanting to see his dear sister once again for a long time.
And if it meant that she could have a peerless talent and cultivate immortality with him again, he didn't mind sacrificing some things he owned.
"Now... I should cultivate this martial art that Brother Qing gave me... After all, this system is a bit... ahem."
[Seven Stars Drifting Clouds - Early Empyrean]
"I only have a weak or so... Let's hope it's enough to cultivate the first level of it... I don't miss attack techniques only movement after all."
On an instant, the small book was transformed into a faint wisp of qi and was sucked by the small mark on his forehead.
Yan Shun was shocked by the amount of knowledge that appeared about that same technique.
He instantly... mastered it.
[Don't underestimate an Innate Dao Source Body, even if the Chaotic Yin-Yang Body is the strongest on the entire body, if it gets absorbed by a Dao Source, the Dao Source Body will be much stronger.]
[Also, now check your battle prowess...]
"Huh, what do you mean?"
[Battle Prowess: Divine Lord (High~Peak)]
"...It's so fucking overpowered..."
