System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

His speed was so fast that even time could not be captured;

His endurance was almost eternal.

More importantly, his bloodline surged with an indescribable majesty and nobility—the unique temperament and demeanor of the Qilin as an ancient divine beast.

After absorbing the blood of an unknown ocean behemoth, the system notification for the evolution of the Qilin bloodline rang in my mind.

[Ding! Bloodline evolution progress +100%! Congratulations! Your Qilin bloodline has successfully evolved to level 10!]

[Ding! The Qilin bloodline has successfully advanced, and all attributes have doubled.]

[Ding! The Qilin bloodline has successfully evolved to level 10, increasing insect-repelling ability by 102400%, evil-repelling ability by 102400%, and lifespan by 409600 years.]

"The Qilin bloodline has already evolved to level 10?"

When the system notification sounded, Zhang Hao could hardly believe it. The speed of advancement was too fast. He had only been in the deep sea for a little over a day, and the Qilin bloodline had evolved twice in a row, reaching the terrifying level of 10.

Even a level 9 Qilin bloodline can take human form, yet it cannot open the bronze chest.

It's unimaginable just how pure the bloodline of the Zhang family's ancestors was in ancient times.

After the Qilin bloodline evolved to level 10, Zhang Hao did not linger. With a thought, he took out the bronze box from his storage space again.

He prepared to try opening the bronze chest again.

When Zhang Hao took out the bronze box again, his heart was filled with unprecedented confidence and anticipation.

He gently stroked the surface of the box, feeling its heavy weight and the scent of time.

Then, he pricked his fingertip again, dripping a drop of bright red Qilin blood onto the lock of the box.

This time, there was no dazzling red light; no echoing of dragons roaring or phoenixes singing; but Zhang Hao could feel an unprecedented energy fluctuation emanating from the box—a sign that an ancient and powerful force was awakening.

When Zhang Hao dripped the blood of the Qilin onto the lock of the bronze box with great anticipation, the entire space seemed to freeze, and time slowed down dramatically at that moment.

The intricate patterns on the surface of the bronze box began to writhe slightly, like a sign that a sleeping ancient dragon was about to awaken, but they did not shine brightly as expected, nor did they make any sound.

Zhang Hao frowned slightly, a hint of confusion and doubt flashing through his mind.

He confirmed once again that his Qilin bloodline had reached an unprecedented level, so why was the bronze box still unable to be opened?

Are there other conditions that have not been met?

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

The records about the bronze box in the family's ancient books replayed in his mind, but those words did not seem to provide any further clues.

Just then, a mysterious power quietly emanated from the bronze box and surrounded Zhang Hao.

This power is both warm and ancient, carrying an indescribable majesty and peace.

Zhang Hao could feel that it was having a subtle influence on his bloodline, as if it were having some kind of deep communication with him.

However, the bronze box remained silent and still, showing no signs of being opened.

Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly. Although he was unwilling, he could only accept reality.

He put the bronze box back into his storage space, preparing to continue venturing deeper into the sea to seek more opportunities to enhance his strength.

Just as he was about to leave the area, a slight ripple in the water caught his attention.

Zhang Hao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a blurry shadow appearing and disappearing in the sand on the seabed not far away.

Curious, he approached to observe and discovered that it was actually the wreckage of a huge shipwreck.

The shipwreck has clearly been eroded over countless years, with its hull covered in thick layers of seaweed and coral, yet it still exudes an extraordinary aura.

Zhang Hao could sense the antiquity and mystery contained within the shipwreck, as if it concealed countless secrets and treasures.

Just as he was preparing to examine the shipwreck more closely, the system notification suddenly sounded:

[Ding! Rare item, Qilin Arm, discovered.]
