Chapter 447 - 235: Bloodline Awakening_2
Hearing Zhang Dao Xuan’s words, the faces of the two Guardian Beasts, the Golden Ape and White Deer of the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, revealed a trace of shock. They hadn’t sense the coming of the Heavenly Tribulation. However, White Painting had awakened the Jiao Dragon Bloodline. What exactly was going on? It was completely illogical.
Only the Green Giant Python glanced at Lin Yi. Back when Zhi Ling had awakened her bloodline, she was taken into the Secret Realm and carefully examined by their master. It was through the subsequent interactions between the master and Lin Yi that it learned of Lin Yi’s innate power to help animals awaken their bloodlines.
“You should know, it was you who awakened the Jiao Dragon Bloodline,” Zhang Dao Xuan said with a smile, turning to look at Lin Yi. He really couldn’t see through this Disciple of his who possessed some abilities that defied common sense and could often create miracles.
The Creation Method, making Golden Cores, hiding his Cultivation levels, and changing his identity; he couldn’t see through any of it.
Previously, regarding Zhi Ling’s awakening of the Lightning Mink Bloodline, he had been somewhat doubtful. But now, after White Painting awakened the Jiao Dragon Bloodline, he understood the power of this ability.
After all, this is the Jiao Dragon Bloodline. Only after Crossing Tribulation and surviving the Heavenly Tribulation could one advance to a Jiao Dragon and possess the Jiao Dragon Bloodline. There was no other way for serpents of the Lower Realm to attain this bloodline.
Because the beings of the Dragon Clan were all in the Upper Realm, they couldn’t come to the Lower Realm, and naturally, they couldn’t transfer their bloodline.
White Painting swam over to Lin Yi, lowered its head and deeply bowed.
Without this bit of Jiao Dragon Bloodline, it had no confidence at all that it could pass the Heavenly Tribulation. After failing to Crossing Tribulation twice, although it seemed to take things as they come, it was actually filled with unease about the future deep down.
As for White Painting’s gratitude, Lin Yi didn’t decline it, willingly accepting and patting its head, “Elder White Painting, this also required your efforts. I didn’t expect that we would actually successfully awaken the Jiao Dragon Bloodline. I hope you can use it to pass the Heavenly Tribulation and truly become a Jiao Dragon.”
White Painting gently nodded and sent Divine Intent toward Lin Yi.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll just call you White Painting from now on,” Lin Yi said with a smile.
Hearing this conversation, the Golden Ape walked over with a puzzled expression, “Ah Yi, I’m a little confused. Did you help Elder White Snake… awaken the Jiao Dragon Bloodline?”
Just as it was about to call it the ‘Big White Snake’, it suddenly felt a chilly gaze from mid-air and quickly corrected itself by addressing it as an elder.
The White Deer, on the other hand, looked over with an unusual look on his face. Among the three spirit beasts, it communicated the least with Lin Yi.
Even after seeing Lin Yi’s astonishing performance when he advanced to the Golden Core Realm, it still didn’t get closer to Lin Yi and continued to cultivate in the Cave Mansion.
“Yes, Little Ape, you should be able to feel my affinity towards animals. In addition, I also have a talent that might help animals awaken their Ancestral Bloodlines.” Lin Yi nodded and answered without hiding anything.
The Golden Ape widened its eyes and suddenly remembered Lin Yi’s previous words, “No wonder you said before that you wanted to help me awaken an Ancestral Bloodline that was calm. Turns out, you possess such a shocking ability.”
Immediately after, it said urgently, “Quick, my most powerful ancestor was the Diamond Divine Ape. Legend has it that it was powerful and invulnerable, capable of transforming into an unimaginable size, and able to fly and hide underground, it could do everything.”
Lin Yi widened his eyes, “Little Ape, what kind of fantasy did you have today? You’re really daring. Let’s do it like this, since the Diamond Divine Ape is also a monkey, why not save some trouble? I’ll help you awaken the Dao Ancestor’s Bloodline, and you can just ascend to the Immortal Realm.”
Awakening a bit of the Jiao Dragon Bloodline already consumed one-third of his Virtue Points and an opportunity to experience the [Great Compassion]. Not to mention the Diamond Divine Ape who has the ability to transform into a gigantic size and can do everything.
An unimaginable size – what does that mean? That’s over 30,000 kilometers – reaching beyond the Earth’s atmosphere.
“That…that might not be impossible,” the Golden Ape contemplated for a while and then earnestly nodded.
“Look at what realm I’m currently in,” Lin Yi, unable to hold back his laughter, pointed at himself and asked.
The Golden Ape looked at him, “You are currently at the Foundation Establishment Realm. However, you have already achieved the Golden Core, so what?”
“I’m only at the Golden Core Realm right now, and you want me to help you awaken the Dao Ancestor’s Bloodline and ascend to the Immortal Realm? You must be dreaming,” Lin Yi said, annoyed.
Zhi Ling, standing on Lin Yi’s shoulder, pointed at the Golden Ape and chittered out a lecture.
Zhang Dao Xuan couldn’t help but laugh from the side. “Alright, as long as you all eat the food provided by Lin Yi frequently, there is a chance to awaken your bloodline in the future. However, this ability can’t be controlled. We can’t make demands on what bloodline will awaken, it depends on luck.”
All three spirit beasts couldn’t help but bow to Zhang Dao Xuan. Even though it was just a part of him, he was their master.
Lin Yi nodded, saying, “Master is right, don’t worry, everyone has a chance. But what kind of bloodline awakens, we can’t control that. Maybe feeding Little Ape in the future might awaken the bloodline of a golden-haired monkey, turning him into one.”
The Golden Ape panicked at this, shaking his head like a rattle-drum, “No, I’m so strong now, I don’t want to turn into a golden-haired monkey! That creature is nothing more than a joke!”
Shaking his head with a smile, Zhang Dao Xuan said, “Judging by the current situation, when Lin Yi awakens your bloodline you’ll only get stronger, not weaker. Little Ape, you don’t have to worry.”
Relieved by his master’s words, the Golden Ape gave Lin Yi a fierce glare. But when it saw the grilled meat in Lin Yi’s hand, its gaze quickly softened.
“White Painting, since you’ve awakened the Jiao Dragon Bloodline, continue your cultivation for a while, then pass the tribulation on the island.” Zhang Dao Xuan instructed.
Although this place is a secret realm, it was also born attached to the Cultivation World, so they are connected and the Heavenly Tribulation can be transmitted here.
If it was a completely independent space, it might be possible to evade the arrival of Heavenly Tribulation and survive within it.
White Painting nodded in agreement, moved its body, and returned to the Misty Forest Gorge.
“Alright, everyone go back.” Zhang Dao Xuan waved his hand, sending the three guardian beasts back to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.
Then he looked at Lin Yi and said with a sigh, “Lin Yi, your ability to awaken animal’s ancestral bloodlines is truly powerful. You broke through the rules, helping White Painting to prematurely awaken the Jiao Dragon Bloodline. It is truly a miracle.”
“Make sure to never let this power be known to others, otherwise the old monsters in the Monster Forest will not let you off easily.”
“Master, don’t worry, I definitely won’t let it be known,” Lin Yi naturally understood, so he did not leak this ability. Also, Zhi Ling wouldn’t reveal herself when there were outsiders around.
Zhang Dao Xuan nodded, “Continue cultivating. After about a year and a half, White Painting will face its third tribulation. We will be waiting for the moment it successfully transforms.”
Lin Yi was looking forward to this, it was the first time he would witness a tribulation and the transformation of a spirit beast.
In the legends of Huaxia on Earth, True Dragons are portrayed as magnificent, mysterious, and noble while Jiao Dragons are often depicted as dangerous, evil, and majestic.
White Painting with its beautiful python body, probably won’t transform into an evil figure.
Moreover, witnessing the Heavenly Tribulation for the first time and understanding it might deepen his understanding of thunder and lightning, perhaps allowing the thunder and lightning element within his Golden Core to integrate more closely.
After returning to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, Lin Yi saw the three Guardian Beasts staying here without leaving.
Upon seeing Lin Yi return, the three Guardian Beasts displayed different behaviors. The Golden Ape was straightforward, “Ah Yi, you must help me awaken a better bloodline in the future. If you need my help, just ask.”
The Green Giant Python looked at Lin Yi calmly, gently bowing its head in respect.
The last one, the White Deer, brought over some spirit fruits and offered them to Lin Yi, a smile on its face as it also bowed in respect.
