Supernatural Insight Eyes

After leaving Senior Xuan Ye, Ye Qiu went straight back to his residence.

He had already learned everything about the Bloodline Power from Xuan Ye’s mouth.

But what to do next was still up to him.

To enhance the Bloodline Power, there are various methods; like those of the Celestial Palace, taking the Bloodline Power of others and integrating it into one’s own is one way. However, this kind of fusion has drawbacks, often leading to impurities or mutations in the Bloodline Power, or even failure in the fusion process.

Xuan Ye suggested that Ye Qiu should enhance the Bloodline Power by not taking any shortcuts, preferably using the simplest and most direct method to ensure the purity of the enhanced Bloodline Power.

The right path is to temper oneself internally.

Refine one’s own Bloodline and then let the body generate new Bloodline Power. In doing so, the Bloodline Power accumulates, making it easier to break through the limit of darkness.

Once the Bloodline Power has accumulated to a certain extent, he can leap to break through the limit, and then the darkness will help him elevate to another realm.

Imagine, once he steps into the heavens and uses the darkness to immediately enhance to a higher realm, what would that mean.

He would definitely be able to instantly defeat all powerful enemies of the same realm.

However, Xuan Ye also warned Ye Qiu that although this tempering increases the success rate of breaking through the limit, the process is extremely painful, and even Martial Artists can hardly endure it.

Take Dugu Yao and Dugu Ye, for instance; after darkening, their strength nearly reaches the level of half-step to the heavens. But this doesn’t truly break the limit; they only accumulated significant Bloodline Power.

The two brothers also wish to continue enhancing their Bloodline Power, but whenever they feel the pain of tempering themselves, they can’t help feeling awful.

Every time after tempering their Bloodline Power, creating new blood feels like experiencing countless deaths.

Moreover, each time only increases a little Bloodline Power. Thinking about accumulating enough Bloodline Power to break the limit makes anyone’s scalp tingle and feel despair.

Even among the ancestors of the Dugu family, there are only a few who could truly step out.

There really aren’t many who can take that crucial step.

And even after breaking the limit, one must maintain mental clarity not to let killing intent take over their mind; otherwise, they will turn into relentless killing machines.

Due to the difficulties and consequences, during the once glorious era of the Dugu family, there were few who wanted to ascend higher.

Ye Qiu had experiences of enduring pain, and after listening to Xuan Ye’s words, he was mentally prepared, yet couldn’t resist wanting to try tempering himself first.

After discussing with Teacher Zhuang Miao Shan, Zhuang Miao Shan assured Ye Qiu to cultivate freely, promising to keep watch.

Subsequently, Ye Qiu began cultivating using the Bloodline tempering method passed on by Xuan Ye.

At first, Ye Qiu’s complexion was rosy, but as he gathered all his blood to one spot, his face turned pale like paper, and even the skin lost its blood color.

Ye Qiu’s mind was fully immersed in the blood throughout his body, urging the tempering method to start steaming the blood.

To filter out the Bloodline Power.

As the blood burned within his body, changes began to manifest on Ye Qiu’s face.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his teeth clenched tightly; even with mental preparation, the painful process of tempering tormented Ye Qiu to the point of wanting to curse.

It was unbearably painful!

Watching and feeling his own blood burn, leaving only a little Bloodline Power remaining, the process was harrowing and painful.

Yet it is something anyone who wants to enhance their Bloodline Power must face; only this way can the Bloodline Power be increased.

First, refine all the blood in his body, leaving only the Bloodline Power.

As time passed, Ye Qiu’s blood quickly diminished, forming tiny needle-sized blood droplets, this is the pure Bloodline Power.

He had only refined one-tenth so far; it was still far from enough.

Having no other choice, Ye Qiu gritted his teeth to continue tempering.

There are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation; to become stronger, one must work hard, this is an eternal truth.

Even the Dugu family, possessing Bloodline Power, must pay a great price for it, before they can continue strengthening the power of the Bloodline.

As Ye Qiu worked hard to enhance his Bloodline Power, in the small world, having previously lost to Ye Qiu, Dugu Qing, Dugu Yao, and Dugu Ye were all diligently cultivating, unwilling to fall behind Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu’s appearance made them realize their own flaws, and Dugu Xuan Ye saw all this, feeling very gratified, as it seemed his desired effect had been achieved.

Though Dugu Cheng and Dugu Yan hadn’t fought with Ye Qiu, they witnessed the entire battle and were also rectifying their deficiencies.

The arrival of Ye Qiu invigorated Dugu family’s remaining few geniuses, boosting their morale, benefiting the expansion and growth of the Dugu family.

This was the state Dugu Xuan Ye hoped for.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Qiu was still amid tempering his Bloodline Power, having entered the final stage.

The small world was silent, yet when Lei Yi returned, the news he brought back enraged Xuan Ye completely.

"Celestial Palace, how despicable you are!"

Xuan Ye shook with rage, Lei Yi’s face was equally gloomy, for the Celestial Palace’s actions were utterly disgracing the Dugu family.

Since Ye Qiu, Zhuang Miao Shan, and Lei Yi rescued the ten members of the Dugu family, no one had surfaced, leading the Celestial Palace to start a new round of public executions, unable to find the missing individuals.

Moreover, this time they executed more members of the Dugu family than the last.

Clearly, the Celestial Palace was very angry because Ye Qiu and the others saved some Dugu members, disregarding face, and using underhanded means to continue publicly executing Dugu family members, with the purpose of forcing Ye Qiu to appear again.

Lei Yi couldn’t bear it anymore and made a move, but this time almost led to his permanent entrapment, and if it weren’t for his life-saving cards, he would have already fallen.

Returning to the small world demanded immense effort.

"My lord, their purpose now isn’t just to force Ye Qiu to appear but to make us show ourselves as well," Lei Yi said.

Currently, they have choices to not intervene, but every day, a few descendants of the Dugu family are killed.

It’s like repeatedly stabbing wounds.

"Since they want to force us to show ourselves, fine, we’ll show them. They kill our people, we will kill those of the Celestial Palace in return," Xuan Ye said with a murderous undertone.

That day the news also reached other members of the Dugu family, and indeed it had already spread throughout the entire ancestral land.

Everyone knew that the Celestial Palace was doing this to redeem the face they lost previously.

Just as Dugu Qing, Dugu Cheng, and others collectively volunteered for battle intending to counter the Celestial Palace’s forces, Ye Qiu’s Bloodline Power tempering reached the final phase.
