Chapter 360: Bloodline Of the Vermilion Bird (1/2)

The moment it connected with Xue Wei, the entire world trembled in front of him, his eyes widened in shock, and he felt a strange heat erupt before his sight went black, and he collapsed onto the floor.

There was no pain, not even any discomfort. However, as soon as the blood came into contact with him, his consciousness collapsed, and his body started spasming.

A red hue appeared on around him, shrouding him in a veil of energy. The place where the drop had entered his body was a tear-shaped red dot, which was fluctuating in the dim light.

Xue Wei was completely unaware of what was happening to his body, his mind was filled with darkness, and he was unable to control the changes that were happening to him.

Energy started leaving the tear-shaped dot on his forehead, red feathers of energy began roaming through his meridians. Still, unlike what one might have expected, they did not clash with the azure dragons that flew in his veins, instead, they seemed to coexist, the red and azure streaks of energy so began intervening.

They did not merge, but the dragons coiled around the red feathers, the streaks of Qi turned much thicker, and the undulations of power that they released were more than double of before.

This was the perfect example of adding two together did not mean that it would just double in strength.

All the Qi in the body started to coil together, red and azure colors becoming the same, and slowly the light that was shrouding his body tuned a mixture of red and azure.

More and more energy erupted from the blood drop that resembled a teardrop on his forehead. It was impossible for the Azure Qi to keep up with all the strands of red Qi that was being released in the body.

This energy went straight for the dantian where it gathered. The Azure Dragon Spirit, which was present within the dantian, was observing the ball of red Qi, which was gathering at a rapid speed with interest.

The red qi was gathering in a flaming ball that somehow resembled an egg. The more energy that gathered, the deeper the red color became.

Time flashed by, but no matter what happened, Xue Wei did not awaken, and the energy of the tear-like blood drop continued to pour into his boy without any restraint.

Slowly, as the hours ticked by, the tear-like drop of blood turned less and less visible, it became more and more transparent, and the energy it poured into the body became slower and slower as well.

As the final strand of energy left the tear-like blood drop, the outline vanished, and soon the egg within the dantian heated up, flames erupted from all over it, and a crack could be heard alongside a loud bird cry.

From within the egg, two massive flaming wings erupted, and a bird came climbing out of the egg.

Although it had just hatched, it did not seem disoriented, nor did it look like a young chick. Instead it was a majestic Vermilion Bird!

The Vermilion Bird Spirit and the Azure Dragon Spirit observed one another for a long time, but no hostility could be seen in their eyes.

This was not the end of it though, the Vermilion Bird Spirit within his dantian slowly started trembling, and suddenly a golden version of it split out from the spirit before it vanished.

After vanishing from the dantian, it did not disappear, but ended up in the soul palace, together with the golden dragon spirit.

All of this happened while Xue Wei was unconscious. Slowly, half a day after having merged with the blood drop, Xue Wei opened his eyes and hissed in surprise.

There was no soreness in his body; there was no discomfort; in fact, he felt immensely comfortable. He slowly lifted his hand and looked at it, but it seemed the same as before.

Everything seemed the same, but he felt as if his body had been replaced with another body. That there was something so foreign about his body that he could not recognize it, but whenever he looked at it, it seemed the same as always.

He slowly sat up and crossed his legs before he started observing the insides of his body, and the moment he did, his heartbeat so rapidly that his eyes opened in shock, and he could not believe what he had seen.

He was a four-layered Ordinary Saint now!

Had the blood increased his cultivation base? But even if it increased his cultivation base, was this not too much of a jump?

He calmed his heart and rechecked his body, and this time he saw the strange mutation his Qi had undergone.

Before, it had always been Qi dragons, thousands upon thousands of Qi dragons, but now these dragons were all coiled around vermilion feathers.

Frowning, Xue Wei could not understand it, but then his gaze landed on his dantian. Here he was filled with shock. The Azure Dragon Spirit, which was something he was used to seeing, but there, next to it, was a Vermilion Bird.

Xue Wei was quite familiar with the Vermilion Bird after having connected with them for some time, so he recognized it right away. But why was there a Vermilion Bird Spirit within his Dantian?

Xue Wei was puzzled.

He suddenly felt strange red energy within his body, the fire Qi he had absorbed earlier erupted like a volcano, bursting in his veins, and filling his entire body like it had been before with the wood Qi.

He felt that he could move both wood Qi, fire Qi and the normal Qi with as little as a thought.

Xue Wei was perplexed. His brows were furrowed, and he was deeply contemplating.

What exactly was the purpose of this Vermilion Bird Spirit within his dantian?

The Azure Dragon Spirit was there because he was an Azure Dragon. It could not be that he was also a Vermilion Bird?

Xue Wei almost chuckled at his own thought. Being a Sovereign Beast was already fantastic, but to have the bloodline of two sovereign beasts, was this not just wishful thinking?
