568 Breakthrough (1/2)
After giving away the tribal energy of the Black Bird, Fang Yuan felt as light as a feather. It was as if he had removed an entire layer of chains from his body. He had a vague feeling that he had experienced another breakthrough in his cultivation.
”Does this feeling have anything to do with my bloodline?”
Fang Yuan suddenly understood.
”What did you...do to us?”
Er and Lian were both shocked. Although they were mortal and could not see the tribal energy of the Shang, it was obvious that this Fang Yuan had done something to them.
”Er...would you be willing to become my disciple?”
Fang Yuan's eyes shone with a strange light and asked his question suddenly.
”Kaboom!”
As Fang Yuan was speaking, his body began to sizzle. The wind blew his shirt up to reveal his toned physique.
This was a sign that his Ultimate Witch Body was fully developed! If Fang Yuan had not deliberately suppressed its development, who knew how far ahead he could have been.
Nevertheless, the aura that he gave off was extremely potent.
Er was astounded. He felt like he was dealing with a huge beast and could not help but fall to his knees.
”I would!”
”Good!”
Fang Yuan nodded and squeezed out a drop of blood from his fingernail. With a flick of his fingers, the drop of blood entered Er's body.
”Ah!”
Er screamed and dropped to the ground. His whole body was now covered in blood.
”Jie...you…”
Gentleman Jiu was horrified and rushed forward but he faced unexpected resistance from a strong force.
”Father... don't worry about me. I'm fine!”
After a short time, Er got to his feet and examined his hands with an incredulous look on his face.
He had been a large man to begin with but now, he had grown taller by an entire head. His muscles bulged and had a golden sheen.
”You were born with an uncommon strength and are suited for the cultivation of witch dao. I have given you a drop of witch blood, which has altered your physical form. From today onwards, your body will be impervious to weapons and the elements. You will also unlock several divine techniques…”
Fang Yuan said matter-of-factly.
”Thank you, Teacher!”
Er bowed down to Fang Yuan immediately. Even Lian looked delighted. After all, the battlefield was an extremely dangerous place to be! There was no saying if he would survive the war with the Dongyi but he was comforted to know that Er would.
”I'm leaving. Don't tell anyone about what you have seen today...you will get through the war with the Dongyi safely but a tribulation awaits you in the future. I will look for you when the time comes…”
Fang Yuan walked away after saying his piece, leaving Er and Lian behind with their unanswered questions.
...
”I've fulfilled the requirements for the divine body?”
After leaving the yard, Fang Yuan fled from Shangyi into the wilderness.
”Kaboom!”
Fang Yuan could no longer conceal the suppressed witch aura and let it shoot up into the skies. The clouds disintegrated and vaguely revealed the outlines of 12 savage and huge figures.
”Name: Fang Yuan
Essence: 100 (100)
Spirit: 100 (100)
Magic: 60 (100)

”I've regained my True Divine abilities!?”
Fang Yuan glanced at his stats board.
”Also...my mastery of the Fiery Golden Eyes divine technique has increased by one level?”
This meant that his observational skills had become more powerful. These skills, when fully developed, would give him insight into the past and future as well as allow him to see the three worlds: the heavens, the human world and the netherworld.
Fang Yuan had not yet attained these abilities but through the Fiery Golden Eyes, he sensed that something was watching him.
It was prying at his bloodline and Fang Yuan traced its source to a deity.
”The War God...Chi?”
Although the two gods of heaven and earth made up the orthodox faith, the barbarian peoples prayed to lesser deities and devils as well, including Chi.
Fang Yuan had sensed a supernatural force that was weirder in nature than Nuwa's power.
”Such a fast reaction...it must have detected the witch blood flowing through my veins. A pity… that the Chi of today is entirely different from the Chi of his newly ascendant days.”
Fang Guan was not afraid of Chi at all.
Chi's powers were also limited by god dao and were much weaker than Nuwu in terms of strength. Fang Yuan had nothing to fear.
The presence was merely spying and left immediately upon Fang Yuan's detection of it. It was very decisive.
Through the Fiery Golden Eyes, Fang Yuan had discovered that there was something more powerful looking at him. Its gaze penetrated the clouds and fell strongly on Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan quickly flew away.
'Strictly speaking, although it was through the killing of Xing that I acquired the blood of the witches, I am the only one who can inherit the legacy of the witches. Even the War God Chi would not allow me to die unless he wants to witness the extinction of the witch race!”
