After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

Time passed slowly, and the temperature inside the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace rose higher and higher.

The excruciating pain was becoming increasingly intense.

But Qin Chuan knew he couldn't give up. If he did, all his efforts would be in vain, and even this hard-won essence of blood would vanish.

Time passed slowly, and Qin Chuan gritted his teeth and persevered.

After a long while, Qin Chuan suddenly opened his eyes, and the essence of the Crimson Flame Tiger in his body had completely merged with his Vermilion Bird bloodline.

After taking a deep breath, Qin Chuan jumped out of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace and completely relaxed.

Looking at his flawless white hands, Qin Chuan's eyes burned with fervor. He could feel that his body was several times stronger than before, and even his Vermilion Bird bloodline had become stronger.

"Not bad! It seems that this wisp of Crimson Flame Tiger essence blood has been of great help to you!" Suddenly, Empress Yaoxi spoke slowly from the side.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan realized that Empress Yao Xi was right next to him. He was about to speak when he suddenly felt a chill on his body. Looking down, he realized that he was completely naked.

Qin Chuan immediately blushed and quickly turned away to change his clothes.

When he entered the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace, all his clothes were burned, and he only forgot about it because he was excited.

After getting dressed, Qin Chuan turned around and asked curiously, "Senior Yao Xi, didn't you say you were in seclusion? Why are you out again?"

"Mind your own business!" Empress Yaoxi rolled her eyes at Qin Chuan.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan awkwardly touched his nose, wondering what he had done to offend her.

As if he had thought of something, Qin Chuan asked, "Senior Yao Xi, I feel that my bloodline has improved, and my body is several times stronger than before. Is this all because of the bloodline of this ancient beast branch?"

"Yes and no!"

Empress Yaoxi nodded and said, "This essence blood is indeed the most important, but if you don't have this Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace, you won't be able to refine it into your body."

Therefore, neither can be dispensed with. This is still a branch of the ancient beast bloodline. If you were to encounter the true essence of an ancient beast bloodline in the future and refine it, the effects would far exceed your imagination!

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to look forward to the future.

After a long silence, Qin Chuan hypothesized, "I feel that the Vermilion Bird bloodline in my body has become stronger after absorbing this wisp of Crimson Flame Tiger essence blood. If I absorb enough essence blood in the future, will it break through the ten-star level and become an eleven-star bloodline?"

He remembered what Duan Qianqi had said before, that he had absorbed his own bloodline and become a Seven Star Bloodline.

Qin Chuan already felt incredibly powerful with only a ten-star bloodline; if he could have an eleven-star bloodline…

He no longer dared to think about it.

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's bold conjecture, Empress Yao Xi was taken aback at first, then her brows furrowed as if she were seriously considering the feasibility of the matter.

After a long while, she nodded and said, "Logically speaking, it is indeed possible, but since no one has ever possessed an eleven-star bloodline throughout the ages, only when we truly reach that stage can we fully know!"

"Then I will become the first person in all of history!"

Qin Chuan clenched his fists, his eyes burning with fervor. After hearing Empress Yao Xi's words, he also began to look forward to the future.

In the future, he also had another goal: to find the bloodlines of various ancient beasts.

Even now, with just a trace of the essence blood of an ancient beast, he has become much stronger. If he could fuse with the essence blood of a true ancient beast, there would definitely be a qualitative leap.

"Thank you, Senior Yaoxi!" After calming down, Qin Chuan bowed to Empress Yaoxi with clasped hands.

He knew that the woman in front of him had appeared to answer his questions, so he bowed sincerely.

Empress Yaoxi smiled radiantly and said calmly, "Since that's the case, how do you plan to thank me?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan was slightly taken aback, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

The next moment, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and Empress Yaoxi pressed down on him.

The space of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace was instantly filled with the colors of spring.

……

Three days later.

Seeing Qin Chuan looking like a wronged little wife, Empress Yao Xi felt a surge of joy and murmured, "He's definitely much stronger than before!"

"We agreed that the spider lily's spring poison would break out a year later, and this has happened several times already!" Qin Chuan said with a look of grief and indignation.

Most importantly, he was passive throughout the entire process, which made him feel incredibly frustrated.

"Cough cough..." Empress Yaoxi's fair face flushed slightly as she coughed and said, "This will also help me recover from my injuries. I promise to restrain myself as much as possible, so you need to reach the Profound Emperor Realm as soon as possible!"

As she was about to leave, Empress Yaoxi seemed to remember something and looked at Qin Chuan with a playful gaze, "It must feel great to be called brother-in-law, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan was taken aback and looked up, asking, "You know about what's happening outside?"

"Hmph! If you dare to have any affairs outside, you're dead!"

Empress Yaoxi did not answer Qin Chuan's question. After making a threat, she left the place.

Is she jealous?

Looking at the strange Empress Yaoxi, Qin Chuan thought to himself with suspicion.

Seeing that the other party had already left, Qin Chuan, who did not understand why, shook his head and put all these distracting thoughts to the back of his mind.

With a thought, he laid out all kinds of cultivation pills in front of him, totaling over a thousand bottles.

These were all pills that Qin Chuan refined for his own cultivation when he was working at the Pill Refining Workshop; they were the highest-grade pills that could be refined at the moment.

Immediately, he sat cross-legged, palms facing the sky, resting his hands on his knees, and began to cultivate according to the Great Void Limitless Technique.

As time passed, and with the aid of elixirs, Qin Chuan's aura grew stronger at a visible rate.

……

Thunderclap Sect.

At this moment, in the main seat of a spacious hall sat a middle-aged man with a fierce face, his gaze coldly fixed on his subordinate who had delivered the message below.

"Can you say that again!"

The voice seemed to emanate from the deepest hell, causing the subordinate to tremble and his heart to leap into his throat.

He clasped his hands together, trembling as he said, "Reporting to the Sect Master, I have just received news from the Ouyang family that both the Young Master and Elder Mo died at the Lin family residence in Guiyun City, and the person who killed them was Qin Chuan of the Qin family!"

"Finally found it..." the middle-aged man muttered to himself, a deep resentment flashing in his eyes.

Immediately, he raised his head and looked at his subordinate in the hall, saying expressionlessly, "After investigating for so long, you still relied on information from others. What a useless piece of trash!"

"Sect Master, spare my life! Sect Master, spare my life!..."

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, the subordinate's pupils constricted, and he begged for mercy with a look of terror on his face.

But it was too late. The middle-aged man flicked his sleeve, sending out a streak of blood that struck his subordinate and instantly turned him into a pool of blood.

Without even glancing at the pool of blood, the middle-aged man coldly ordered the people outside the hall, "All members of the Thunderclap Sect, listen to my command! Proceed to the Qin family in Guiyun City!"
