Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 656 Bloodline Spirit Seed

After clearing his mind, Han Yi slowly looked at the panel.

"Although I was seriously injured in this battle with the Blood Demon, I gained a lot. At the very least, I absorbed enough Yin energy—no, I mean demonic energy… So, for the rest of the time…"

【Main Skills】: Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm (Eight-layer inscription, Cold Yin Strength, Characteristics: Extreme Cold, Exhausted Yin, Profound Darkness); Heaven-Mending Technique (Seventh layer, Characteristics: Strengthening the Foundation, Returning to Origin, Endless Life, Flawless and Leak-Free); Willow Dance True Skill (Eighth layer, Willow Dance Strength, Characteristics: Riding the Wind, Borrowing Strength, Clouds Move with the Wind)

"My secondary cultivation techniques are all complete... or rather, even if I were to improve one or two more, it would be of no use to me now, so I don't need to consider them. The remaining techniques that need improvement are my primary cultivation techniques..." he analyzed to himself. "The Nine-Bend Cold Yin Palm and the Dancing Willow True Skill. These two represent my martial arts cultivation. To improve them to perfection, I have enough demonic energy reserves, but the key lies in..."

Han Yi frowned.

"My initial plan was simply to cultivate the Cold Yin Nine Curves Palm to its limit and use this true skill to break through and become a martial arts grandmaster."

However, later, by chance, he obtained the True Skill Manual of the Willow Dance, which is why he delayed the bone inscription process, intending to collect the seven true skills and reunite the Seven Transformations of Heaven. Therefore…”

He thought about it.

"Let's put these two true skills aside for now and consider them later. After all, if the next operation goes smoothly, it's really possible that we can reunite the Seven Transformations of Heavenly Evolution Profound Technique. When that happens, we can choose to break through again after we've gathered them all."

Next, he was going to the library.

If the library can be successfully taken over, it might contain copies of the Seven Academies' True Skills. Therefore, after much consideration, Han Yi decided to postpone his martial arts cultivation.

After all, if he breaks through ahead of time, making it impossible to cultivate the Seven Transformations of Heavenly Evolution Profound Technique later, wouldn't that be hilarious?

"If we set aside the true essence of martial arts training, the remaining choices become much easier..."

Han Yi shifted his gaze and quickly located the section on "Mending the Heavens Technique".

The Nine-Bend Cold Yin Palm and the Willow Dance True Skill represent his martial arts cultivation. The Heaven-Mending Technique represents the strength of his bloodline and vital energy.

The Heaven-Mending Technique, which he had deduced by expending all his accumulated demonic energy, has now become the strongest point in his power.

"The Heaven-Mending Technique, according to its original design, has nine levels... We've now reached the seventh level... So, let's begin..."

He made a mental gesture.

hiss…...

As if some creature were breathing quietly, a faint sound of airflow suddenly emanated from Han Yi's body.

Han Yi's body swelled up instantly, but immediately returned to normal.

"It doesn't seem like much has changed..." He closed his eyes and sensed the state of his body.

It's simply that the already abundant Qi and blood have become even stronger. The black Qi in the blood vessels located in the heart area has also become more concentrated, and the recovery speed is a notch faster than before.

Although there has indeed been a change in strength, it is still somewhat different from the earth-shattering transformation he had imagined.

It's at most a quantitative accumulation, far from a qualitative change.

"Nine is the ultimate number, and also the highest number. Most cultivation techniques only have a maximum of nine levels. Therefore... the ninth level of the Heaven-Mending Technique should be when the change I want appears... that is, a qualitative change!"

Han Yi had a premonition that the ninth level of the Heaven-Mending Technique would bring about a tremendous change in him.

"Then... continue!" He pressed down hard. There was still plenty of demonic energy; more than enough.

Swish...

The panel trembled slightly and became blurry.

Han Yi's vision suddenly went dark.

But if he was clearly in a dark cave, why would there be something even darker than darkness?

His field of vision gradually rose, and just like last time, he seemed to have arrived at a place under the stars.

Originally, this place was a vast starry sky, filled with countless brilliant stars.

But now, all that remains is darkness.

The enormous, sun-like star, as if crushed by a powerful being, lost all its light and could only helplessly rotate.

Although Han Yi couldn't see anything, he seemed to be able to feel it, to sense the mournful howls of this starry sky. The once brilliant starry sky was now filled with countless dazzling stars twinkling and vying for attention. Streams of starlight flowed, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of light and shadow, a breathtaking sight.

But the appearance of a colossal ouroboros, spanning the entire universe, shattered all tranquility.

Within sight, countless stars exploded one after another in the dazzling Milky Way, and the starry sky suddenly became extremely dim.

As the ouroboros moved slowly, the starlight dimmed wherever it passed.

The sky was torn apart, revealing huge scars like a scroll.

The starry sky also became dark and lifeless as a result.

It is no longer vibrant.

Suddenly, a white light appeared, enveloping the entire starry sky.

The white light was vast, bright, and magnificent, yet strangely, it wasn't dazzling; instead, it gave a warm and comforting feeling. At the same time, Han Yi plummeted rapidly, disappearing from the starry sky at the speed of light.

What he saw in his last glance before leaving.

It was an ouroboros, broken in two and lifeless.

call…...

Just then, Han Yi also noticed something strange about his body.

Wisps of scorching steam continuously emerged from my eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and even from all 108 acupoints on my body.

He opened his eyes and realized that this was not a feeling, but reality.

With his blood and qi boiling, a large amount of black energy rapidly spread from all the orifices of his body, and then condensed in the air in front of him.

The black energy mixed with blood and qi, and soon a strange entity appeared.

It was a beating black heart.

On the surface of the heart, there is a black, snake-like gas that is scattered, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden, winding and coiling, existing between reality and illusion. At the end of this gas, countless capillary-like things are dispersed.

The black snake had a long, slender body with its tail extending outwards, quickly encircling and connecting the black heart, making them indistinguishable.

Han Yi could feel that this black heart had an extremely close connection with him, as if it were a heart that he was born with and that grew outside his body.

A large amount of primordial blood flowed from his body into his black heart through some mysterious path, and then a continuous stream of mutated blood and black blood energy was generated for him to use.

"What should this be called? Second primordial spirit? Purple Mansion? Or perhaps an incarnation?" He was somewhat curious.

Driven by his will, the black snake's heart, like a newborn child, slowly approached him, coming into face-to-face contact.

Han Yi observed carefully for a while and could clearly see that the scales on the black snake were similar to the black scales he had formed before. He wasn't even sure if it was just his imagination. He had a feeling that the black snake's appearance was somewhat similar to the fallen ouroboros he had just seen.

However, the black snake has no eyes, or rather, its eyes are always closed.

I gently reached out and touched it; it felt incredibly real, just like touching my own arm.

As they drew closer, the black snake's heart disappeared instantly as it approached Han Yi's chest.

Han Yi closed his eyes and tried to understand.

Around his original heart, a black snake heart appeared, slowly rotating like the moon orbiting the earth.

The black mist shaped like a snake on the surface of the black snake's heart has countless capillaries at its ends, which are connected to the circulatory system throughout its body.

He could sense that the black snake's heart was like a seed, a manifestation of his own potential, a product of his inner desires. Through its blood connection with him, it absorbed his primordial blood and various energies, thereby promoting its own growth and expansion.

This can provide even more powerful black energy and generate more bloodline black energy.

It's like a positive cycle.

"Primordial blood flows into the dantian, generating power and storing it... Primordial blood flows into the heart, generating qi and blood, flowing throughout the body... Primordial blood flows into the black snake's heart, generating black qi, strengthening its own bloodline..."

A glint of light flashed in Han Yi's eyes.

"In other words, the Black Serpent's heart is actually a place specifically for storing the black energy of the bloodline... just like the dantian. From then on, the three forces within my body were clearly distinct, yet they could interact and merge at any time..."

This gave me superhuman strength and unparalleled, astonishing stamina... However..."

He suddenly frowned.

"No, no... The Black Serpent's Heart is not only for storing black energy. It is a seed of bloodline that will grow as I grow... Unlike those bloodline families, they are subject to the constraints of their bloodline ancestors, and their bloodline carries the will of their ancestors... But I am not."

This is a power that I can completely control and manipulate at will after I've grown up. It requires no price, no faith in ancestors, and no service to the source of my bloodline… the only thing I need to do is believe in myself.

"In that case, 'Black Serpent Heart' sounds a little unpleasant..."

Han Yi pondered for a moment.

"The spirit is hidden and the energy is nurtured; a single thought can unleash myriad transformations. One day, it will break free from its cocoon and become a butterfly, its awakening spreading throughout the heavens. The future development of this bloodline seed depends entirely on my choices, so let's call it the Spirit Seed. As for the future name of this bloodline, we'll discuss that later."

After deciding on the name, a heavy sense of exhaustion welled up from the bottom of his heart. He knew this was because he had consumed a large amount of demonic energy in one go and leveled up too quickly. "Panel," he thought to himself.

【Main Skills】: Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm (Eight-layer inscription, Cold Yin Strength, Characteristics: Extreme Cold, Exhausted Yin, Profound Darkness); Heaven-Mending Technique (Highest level, Characteristics: Flawless and Leak-Free); Willow Dance True Skill (Eighth level, Willow Dance Strength, Characteristics: Riding the Wind, Borrowing Strength, Clouds Move with the Wind)

"Completing the Heaven-Mending Technique is within my expectations. But the previous Foundation Strengthening, Origin Restoration, Endless Life, and an unknown bloodline absorption characteristic have all merged into a single characteristic..."

The bloodline has been absorbed and disappeared, which means that the bloodline that my body originally possessed has been completely transformed into something uniquely mine…”

Han Yi recalled the scene he had just witnessed.

He glanced once more at the spiritual seed within his body.

The black snake they discovered, while somewhat similar in appearance to the giant fallen ouroboros they had seen, seemed to have a face that vaguely resembled Han Yi's.

Just like the monstrous Han Yi, it was incredibly bizarre. "The dead ouroboros should be the residual bloodline of my body, which was then completely absorbed, transformed, and developed into my own potential..." Han Yi suddenly understood.

"For bloodline families, the concentration of their bloodline decreases with each generation, and there is also the constraint of the strength of the ancestral bloodline. Therefore, the children of those bloodline families need the so-called first awakening, second awakening, etc. of their bloodline."

Some bloodlines that are powerful enough even require their possessors to wholeheartedly serve and worship their ancestral lineage origins…

But for me, the bloodline spirit seed within me is a complete blank, without any trace... Its composition originates from within myself, which I can fully control without paying any price...

Similarly, there is no upper limit to the spiritual seed; however far I can go, that's how high my bloodline can grow…”

Han Yi pondered seriously. "It is said that bloodline families originate from the Blood Fusion lineage. The so-called Blood Fusion... is actually the process of incorporating the blood of powerful demonic beasts into oneself, condensing and strengthening the extremely weak primordial bloodline within the body, and passing it down from generation to generation to form a bloodline family."

However, the bloodline of scions from such aristocratic families will decline generation after generation, and their strength will be limited by the demonic beast they chose for blood fusion...

The bloodline spirit seed within me, formed from my very foundation, manifests itself through my desires and distractions. It is entirely a manifestation of my own potential, requiring no external force, and therefore lacks those inherent weaknesses…

The only drawback is that this kind of bloodline, formed by tapping into one's own potential... seems unable to be passed down...

In other words, if one day I branch out and establish a family, then even if I become the so-called bloodline ancestor... the bloodline of each descendant will still be different.

After all, everyone's innate temperament and potential are different, and the bloodlines formed through this method are fundamentally different. Just like no two leaves in the world are exactly alike.

Han Yi gazed intently at the black snake spirit seed with his own face. He could feel the close connection between this mini black snake and himself. It was a connection beyond just blood and black energy; there was also a connection that touched the very source.

It originates from a connection deep within the soul.

As long as he continues to grow stronger, the spirit seed will also gradually become stronger along with him.

The Spirit Seed is just a starting point; its future potential is immeasurable.

"Doesn't this mean that I've pioneered a new path?"

Han Yi carefully considered it.

It is fundamentally different from true martial arts skills and bloodline time.

Compared to qualifications, background, and resources, what the Spirit Seed values ​​most is the inner self of the person. As an embryo, desire is the fuel that continuously propels the Spirit Seed's growth and development.

This seems to be a path that is extremely suitable for ordinary people. As long as they have enough perseverance, a strong mind, and a strong desire to become stronger and grow, they can continuously tap into their inner potential and persevere to the end.
