Chapter 637: 585 Cause and Effect One

’Eternal Darkness Dragon Emperor: the primogenitor of the original Shadow Dragon coexisting with darkness, with perfect Shadows Affinity. Within the range of shadows, they can regenerate infinitely and are immune to instant death abilities. Once reaching the age of one hundred, entering juvenile stage, they can augment their strength and constitution five times each with Sublimation Imprints. After reaching full maturity at one thousand years of age, they can continue to augment their strength and constitution, up to nine times each with Sublimation Imprints.’

"Tsk tsk... Just by naturally growing to maturity, one becomes an innate Eighteen Seals powerhouse... Truly deserving of being the initial bloodline of the Shadow Dragons... Such strength! Apart from needing time to grow, there are no other flaws. Pity..."

In the secret chamber, Li Chengyi was expressionless as he gently caressed the Evil Flower on the back of his hand.

He was about to make a significant decision.

Recalling what Tian Xuanzi had said, his originally hesitant eyes slowly became resolute.

’It’s time to purify the Imprints....’

Once his mind was set, the Sword of Wisdom Primordial Spirit Sword Palace in his mind suddenly blazed with a great surge of light.

A massive amount of golden flames dispersed around the Sword Furnace.

"Creation’s true transformation, Heaven and Earth Glory Furnace."

Uttering the chant, Li Chengyi’s hands swiftly formed an array of Yin Canon Array Hand Seals.

Consciousness Power simultaneously constructed a series of complex and exquisite unseen imprints alongside the techniques.

This was the Yin Canon’s Thousand Variations Liuli Technique, highly difficult, but for someone with extremely high perception like Li Chengyi, it was easily mastered.

This technique had only one purpose.

That was... to extract one’s own Origin Seal, burn and purify it, enhance the True Fire. At the same time, transform it into pure power, then redirect and concentrate it on a specific type of Origin Seal.

’I choose to extract the Eternal Darkness Dragon Emperor Imprint from me, and to burn it in the furnace!!’

As this thought arose, an intense and unbearable pain surged through his body, as if his marrow was being extracted and his bones were being pulled out.

Ugh!!

He clenched his teeth tightly, bowed his head, closed his eyes, and endured the excruciating pain.

Waves of torment crazily invaded his mind, nearly causing him to lose consciousness.

Hiss...

Meanwhile, all traces of Dragon Transformation on his body began to regress and dissipate at a rapid pace.

His dragon eyes reverted to their original black color, the faint, semi-transparent scales on his skin faded away, and the scorching hot breath of dragon’s fire from his mouth and nose dissipated quickly.

An invisible force field that once struck fear and awe into surrounding beings also rapidly vanished.

Inside the Primordial Spirit Sword Palace at this moment.

A complicated Origin Seal representing the Shadow Dragon was the first to congeal, turning into a black, silent imprint emitting dense smoke.

That was the core imprint of the Shadow Dragon Bloodline, but with Li Chengyi’s mental control, it slowly descended into the interior of the Sword Furnace.

Hu!!

The already agonizing expression on his face grew even more ferocious.

As the bloodline of the Shadow Dragon was extracted, his body’s strength and regeneration began to falter slightly.

The bloodline provided certain enhancements to his body and Consciousness Power. Now that it was being extracted, all enhancements began to dissolve.

Inside the secret chamber, Li Chengyi’s body temperature began to drop.

Boom!

In an instant, the Sword Furnace Flame surged out from the Primordial Spirit Sword Palace, enveloping Li Chengyi’s entire body.

The True Fire started with Qi Fire and quickly intensified, its temperature rising, its color deepening.

Burning his own Origin Seal led to a massive improvement, allowing Li Chengyi to skip decades of hard cultivation and directly reach the early stages of Qi Fire.

The Sword Furnace Flame completely turned a dark golden color, invisibly wrapping around his entire body.

Droplets of oily substance began to ooze from the flames.

That was the essence of the Sublimation Imprint refined from burning the Origin Seal.

And now, it was time to choose which Origin Seal to purify and strengthen.

Without hesitation, Li Chengyi chose the Sword Imprint, Thousand Face Sword Canon!

Quickly, after his decision was made, the essence turned into invisible energy and began to infiltrate his mind, strengthening the Primordial Spirit Sword Palace.

The Primordial Spirit Sword Palace was a special place nurturing the Sword of Wisdom Primordial Spirit Sword.

Now, as the essence from burning the Shadow Dragon Bloodline poured in, it began to extensively fortify the walls, the floor, and even the material of the Sword Furnace.

All of the divine swords became even more solid, the Human-Faced Spirit Sword, sharper.

The Origin Seals on the surface of the Sword Furnace increased from the previous ten, slowly adding up to twelve.

This included the innate Origin Seal of the King of Shadow Dragons and one more from the recently enhanced bloodline Sublimation Imprint.

At this moment, all traces of the Shadow Dragon Bloodline completely disappeared from Li Chengyi.

He appeared less robust but acquired an added edge of sharpness.

’Warning: The Floral Bloodline has been forcibly dissolved and transformed, do you wish to continue repair?’

Suddenly, a prompt from the Evil Flower surged into Li Chengyi’s mind.

As he was enduring the pain of his weakened body being reforged, this sudden interruption left him somewhat confused.

’This bloodline has been dissolved and withdrawn, can it still be replenished?’

According to the records in the Yin Canon, normally, extracting a bloodline Origin Seal to burn and purify it into another Origin Seal was not unusual, but normally, once a bloodline was extracted, it was impossible to quickly repair and replenish it.

But with the Evil Flower...

Could it be...?

Suddenly, Li Chengyi thought of an extremely special method. However, this method would still need careful verification before he could proceed.

’How long will it take to repair the Floral Bloodline?’ he asked, pressing down on the Evil Flower.

’With sufficient Evil Flower Energy, considering the strength of the bloodline, it will take five to ten days.’

Thud!

Suddenly, Li Chengyi’s heart began to beat violently.

’If I can repair it and continue to burn the Origin Seal, and repeat the cycle, wouldn’t that greatly accelerate the speed at which the True Fire strengthens?’

Burning two bloodline Origin Seals at once, he had jumped to the small achievement stage of Qi Fire.

He bypassed what would have taken others decades of hard work, progressing from a beginner to small achievement.

And here, all he needed to do was to burn his own Origin Seal.

’No wonder, burning anything else doesn’t compare to burning one’s own Origin Seal.’

Without further hesitation, Li Chengyi decided to proceed with the repair.

’Please supplement the specified amount of Flowers and Evil Thoughts.’

Soon, Evil Flower specified the required data: 243 units of Flowers, 271 units of Evil Thoughts.

Without any hesitation, Li Chengyi stood up, used Shadow Flash, and left the secret chamber to rush towards the teleportation array.

He needed to replenish Flowers in Midlane, and Evil Thoughts in Mosha.

For Midlane, given the flow of time, Flowers were the easiest substance to replenish, but Evil Thoughts were a bit more troublesome.

Even gangsters, after being tortured and exploited continuously, became spiritless and increasingly neurotic.

Being rapidly deprived of a large amount of Evil Thoughts, the gangsters in Mosha Garden couldn’t avoid and only endure it, causing their minds and personalities to become more twisted.

Soon the requirement was met, and five days later, Li Chengyi returned to the Earth-Moon Union Base, only to find that Feilian’s Floral Bloodline had indeed been completely restored.

He repeated the act of burning his own bloodline Origin Seal.

Unfortunately, this time the Sword Furnace had no reaction, the bloodline was drained, but the True Fire remained at its original level without advancement.

"It seems there are no shortcuts... As expected, do I need different types of Origin Seals?"

Li Chengyi mused thoughtfully, staring at the Sword Furnace Flame within the Primordial Spirit Sword Palace.

But as for other Origin Seals, he couldn’t burn them anymore, for no matter it was the Giant Strength Imprint or the Void Nightstep Primordial Imprint, these could all improve the practical sublimation of sword techniques.

Wait a moment...

The Imprint Orb of the Giant Strength Imprint... seemed to originate from the Dead Qi Cult Nation.

Suddenly, Li Chengyi’s eyes lit up as he once again employed the Thousand Variations Liuli Technique.

He controlled his Giant Strength Imprint to leave his body, condensed into a solid form, and flew into the Sword Furnace.

Boom!!!

This time, the dark gold flames of the Sword Furnace surged violently.

Wave after wave of terrifying flames rapidly expanded and gushed out from inside the furnace.

It was even more exaggerated than the last time he burned the Shadow Dragon Bloodline. At least ten times more terrifying flames, like a tsunami, poured out of the Primordial Spirit Sword Palace and instantly enveloped Li Chengyi’s entire body.

The essence of the Origin Seal, which previously took on the shape of water droplets, now turned into a stream and flew out of the flames, merging into the Primordial Spirit Sword Palace and the Sword Furnace.

This was a cycle.

The dark gold true flames of the Sword Furnace, with this cycle, began to change once again, turning completely black from dark gold.

The strengthening process lasted for over half an hour.

Half an hour later.

Li Chengyi came back to his senses from his meditative state.

’Indeed... the first and most valuable to burn is the original entity!’ He now understood why so many powerhouses were madly pursuing original entities.

In just this short while, he went from small achievement in Qi Fire, skipped the large achievement stage, and stepped into the realm of perfection.

He was only one step away from Divine Fire.

Just this alone, if exchanged for ordinary and honest cultivation, would take at least a hundred years of hard work.

Others dared not burn too many miscellaneous items, fearing impurities and unwanted residues in the furnace.

So most people accumulated their own Origin Seals to enhance themselves. To sublimate themselves and then use them for extraction and burning.

This required them to constantly practice other systems of techniques to strengthen other aspects of themselves.

Generally, they cultivated in whatever aspect was easier to sublimate and improve.

But there were few people as extravagant as Li Chengyi, using the original entity imprint directly to burn and accelerate their cultivation speed.

Just as Li Chengyi completely burned the Giant Strength Imprint.

Suddenly, a blurred Taoist phantom figure appeared in the sky above the Earth-Moon base.

The phantom was faint and elusive, clad in a blue and black Taoist robe, holding a pure white horsetail whisk. His gaze lowered, peering through the secret chamber, falling upon Li Chengyi.

"Bai Lu, by order of the Chief of Zhen Department, since you have achieved a realm breakthrough within ten years, you are eligible for a slot to go to Silent Oblivion City. You have three days to prepare, and the city gate will open for you," the Taoist’s voice crossed the distance out of thin air, appearing in Li Chengyi’s mind.

Li Chengyi trembled and quickly got up, his awareness detecting the undisguised location of the Taoist phantom.

He immediately bowed deeply as a sign of respect.

"Thank you, senior, for informing me."

Seemingly pleased with his gesture, the Taoist nodded slightly.

"You are quite clever, burning the Dead Qi Cult Nation’s original entity to accelerate your own True Fire. Such use of the original entity is wasteful, but it also settles some karma with the Dead Qi Cult Nation. They will soon regenerate a new original entity of faith, and with that, matters between you will be completely severed."

"May I ask, senior, aren’t original entities not able to regenerate?" Li Chengyi was taken aback and asked.

"The Dead Qi Cult Nation is different... Their original entities are not the same as other Blind Spots," the Taoist phantom said simply and then fell silent. He turned around and abruptly became countless points of light, dispersing into nothing.

Li Chengyi stood in the secret chamber, looking up at the departing figure, his mind whirling swiftly with thoughts.

’From his tone and demeanor, there must be others like me who have burned their Origin Seals to cross realms. It seems that this initial test of the true department isn’t that difficult after all.’

He couldn’t help but recall Daoist Queru who had previously left Midlane.

Being a Descendant of the Sage, she might also be privy to this secret.
