Chapter 592: Chapter 562: Ancient Bloodline Scroll

Yi Zheng looked at that empty rocking chair, his mind filled with question marks, while he also complained, "It’s never early or late, but just now it had to be gone. If it weren’t for my cleverness, I’d have been chopped to death already."

It seems that clinging to a stronger leg isn’t reliable, and the Book Mountain isn’t safe either. If I want to survive, I must rely on myself.

I can’t be reckless anymore, improving my strength is more important than anything."

Thinking this, Yi Zheng jumped onto Sun Jinyan’s rocking chair, preparing to sit cross-legged for cultivation.

At this moment, he totally lost the mood to play, only wanted to work hard, break through, and then turn around and hang that woman up on a tree for a whipping!

How crazy can a rabbit be when it feels unsafe?

Just look at Yi Zheng’s past to know.

While Yi Zheng sat on the rocking chair, he did not immediately enter the state of enlightenment; instead, he began to analyze today’s battle.

His biggest confusion was, why was his defense so freakishly strong!

Facing Su Jin, who was several levels above him, he managed to run back unscathed— that was just miraculous.

At the same time, Yi Zheng realized that ever since arriving at West Kunlun, although his strength skyrocketed, he seldom researched the changes in his own strength, so at this moment, he was not all that familiar with his capabilities.

Now settling down, he was ready to start with himself. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy ensures a hundred victories, and the prerequisite for beating someone is to first understand one’s own strength and position.

His Divine Skills were generally around the sixth or seventh level; even the cultivation technique he created had not reached the eighth level so surely it couldn’t withstand Su Jin’s axe. The only thing that might be problematic was the Xuanwu Transformation.

He glanced over at the Xuanwu Transformation and was shocked.

Xuanwu Transformation: Activating the Xuanwu bloodline within the body, transforming into a Xuanwu, elevating one’s whole defense power to the strength of a Divine Level-2 star Super Divine Beast Xuanwu. It ignores attacks from all beings of the same realm, and when facing the strongest Super Divine Beast’s tactics, it can also block eighty percent of the damage.

Xuanwu Enhancement: In the state of Xuanwu, the more defensive Divine Skills deployed, the stronger the defense.

For every additional defensive Divine Skill, the defense power increases by ten percent.

After reading through, Yi Zheng instantly understood the real secret behind his astonishing defense.

Although he didn’t fully grasp the specific differences between Divine Beasts and Super Divine Beasts, just by thinking with his toes, he knew that Super Divine Beasts were at the level of the four holy beasts—Azure Dragon, Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger—those who dominate a side of the world and suppress the four extremes of heaven and earth with terrifying power.

The defense power Yi Zheng now possessed was that of a Xuanwu at its juvenile stage, at a Divine Level-2 star.

With such a Super Divine Beast, other beings of the same realm, even if they had a level advantage, probably couldn’t break through his defense, right?

Moreover, Yi Zheng had unleashed dozens of defensive Divine Skills in one breath, and his defensive power had multiplied several times!

With such defense, not to mention Su Jin, even a ninth-level common expert would dream of harming him!

It’s like, ten pounds of cotton may look impressive, but they can absolutely never cut through a pound of steel—completely different at the species level, a pure suppression of bloodlines.

At this moment, Yi Zheng realized that owning countless bloodlines might be his strongest combat power for now. To not die, it would be right to thoroughly research it.

Countless bloodlines mean countless possibilities; thus, the direction of research was also complicated but Yi Zheng didn’t mind, as the one thing he lacked least right now was time.

In the evening, Sun Jinyan came back, saw Rabbit meditating, and approached to tap on Rabbit’s head, "Rabbit, it’s getting dark, I’ll take you out to eat something delicious, wanna go?"

Yi Zheng didn’t even lift his eyelids, "No thanks, you go ahead, sir. I need to cultivate! I must become stronger!"

Sun Jinyan was stunned. Earlier in the day, this rabbit was full of curiosity, trying to draw words out of him to follow him out. How come in just a short time, this rabbit had changed its nature?

However, Sun Jinyan didn’t say much else, patted Rabbit’s head and said, "Alright, then stay put here.

I might not come back for a year and a half, during this time, keep up your cultivation..."

After speaking, Sun Jinyan rose into the sky and left.

Yi Zheng didn’t pay him any attention and continued to study the bloodlines within him.

However, obviously, researching bloodlines for Yi Zheng, who had limited understanding of them, was a monumental task. Although he had studied them a bit when he absorbed the Bloodline Golden Core previously, his understanding was still superficial, and advancing further in his research was extremely slow.

At dawn, a figure passed by Yi Zheng and casually asked, "This is the new Little Junior Brother, right? Are you cultivating?"

Yi Zheng didn’t even open his eyes, directly shaking his head, "No, I’m researching bloodline inheritance."

The figure exclaimed in surprise, "Little Junior Brother is indeed a genius, studying things without even going to the Book Sea to look up the materials, but directly with eyes closed, impressive, impressive."

Then the footsteps of the other person receded.

Yi Zheng felt as if struck by lightning, suddenly opened his eyes, looked back at the towering nine-floor Scripture House behind him, then looked at himself, his old face flushed, and he muttered, "I’m such an idiot, having all these books available and not reading them, but shutting in and studying blindly! Really stupid."

Looking back again, he just caught sight of the person who had spoken, about to leave far away.

Yi Zheng quickly called out, "Senior Brother, how may I address you?"

The person turned around, revealing a face of unprecedented tranquility and indifference, as if his features were crafted onto serenity itself. His eyes were as clear as water and as gentle as jade, devoid of any disturbance, seemingly unaffected by anything in the world.

He was very handsome, and his demeanor was even better.

Even Yi Zheng had to admit, of all the people he had met, this man was the gentlest and the handsomest!

The man smiled slightly, "My name is Lingyu, currently in charge of cleaning the first floor of the Scripture House, is there something you need, Little Junior Brother?"

Yi Zheng immediately bowed, "Yi Zheng pays respect to Senior Brother Ling, if Senior Brother Ling is free, could you show me around the first floor? Or, um... help me find some books about Bloodline Heritage? I feel it’s better to learn from the achievements of our predecessors rather than trying to formulate sentences behind closed doors."

Lingyu nodded, "I see, just a moment."

After speaking, Lingyu turned to walk towards the Scripture House and soon came out with a sheepskin scroll, a box of bamboo slips, thirteen jade slips, and three books.

He placed the items in front of Yi Zheng and said, "These are books related to Bloodline Heritage, not very profound just some common materials, the more advanced ones are on the second floor. After you finish these, let me know, and I’ll fetch the ones from the second floor for you."

Looking at the books before him, Yi Zheng thanked him repeatedly with joy, "Thank you Senior Brother Lingyu, I’ll treat you to tea sometime."

Yi Zheng could see that Lingyu’s demeanor was very indifferent, like he cared little about everything; he was like a breeze that when blown by, cooled others yet left nothing of himself behind, nor glanced back, just like a passerby in this world.

This lofty, solitary, and noble temperament made Yi Zheng a bit embarrassed to invite him for a meal or drink, as it seemed only fitting to invite him for tea.

Lingyu laughed and said, "No need, reading together some time will suffice."

Then Lingyu bid farewell and left. At the door, he truly turned into a gentle breeze and disappeared.

Watching Lingyu’s departing figure, Yi Zheng smacked his lips, and said in wonder, "This Senior Brother Lingyu’s demeanor is truly of a divine level! If he were on Earth, he could probably outshine all handsome men by doing nothing."

Yi Zheng shook his head, scattering Lingyu’s image from his mind, and turned to look at the books beside him, chuckling, "I thought Bloodline Skills were difficult?

Just a few books like this!

After I finish these, when I encounter that busty woman again, I should be able to put up a fight."

With that thought, Yi Zheng picked up a scroll of bamboo slips.

Bamboo slips were once popular on Earth, but because they couldn’t carry much text and were both large and heavy, they were eventually replaced by paper.

Yi Zheng thought that there must be little content within the bamboo slips, intended to start simple and then progress to the more difficult, solidifying his knowledge robustly and powerfully.

However, when Yi Zheng actually opened the bamboo slips, he was astounded!

First, the bamboo slips, which weren’t very large, couldn’t be fully unfolded all at once; he tried throwing one end on the ground, and pulling the other end out, and unexpectedly pulled out eight hundred meters and it wasn’t even complete!

Yi Zheng stared dazed, mumbling, "I forgot, this darn place is a world of immortals! How could bamboo slips be the same as those on Earth?"

Yi Zheng then examined the sheepskin scroll, which was just like the bamboo slips, small when rolled but nearly endless when opened, the detailed records of various demon beasts, divine beasts, and divine entities’ bloodlines...

The language was somewhat abstruse, and Yi Zheng found it very tough to understand.

The few books seemed to have endless pages...

His favorite were the jade slips; after infusing spiritual power and slapping them onto his head, the knowledge transferred directly into his Sea of Consciousness in the form of a huge ancient scroll, which Yi Zheng could slowly read at his convenience.

Nevertheless, each book recorded different content, so Yi Zheng couldn’t be choosy and had to read them one by one.

However, the content was indeed somewhat dry, much like reading the Classic of Mountains and Seas in his previous life—no story, just dry introductions.

On the upside, it was all knowledge points; on the downside, the more he read, the bigger his headache became.

Lingyu returned after a day out, only to find a rabbit in the courtyard of the Scripture Pavilion, its butt stuck up in the air, seriously reading from a bamboo scroll.

He was a bit surprised, then smiled slightly, nodded, and entered the Scripture Pavilion.

In the middle of the night, Lingyu came out and found the rabbit was still reading. He quietly placed an oil lamp next to the rabbit, who seemed unaware and focused intently on the book...

Lingyu left.

By the next morning when Lingyu returned, he found the rabbit with bloodshot eyes and its breath disordered, sitting there panting, obviously tired from reading.

Just as Lingyu was about to say something, a series of footsteps came, and at the same time, a murderous aura lingered outside the courtyard of the Scripture House.

The rabbit perked up suddenly, looking much more alert.

At the main gate, there stood a woman with an extremely flamboyant figure, holding a big axe, who had appeared unknowingly, coldly staring at the rabbit in the yard.

Seeing Su Jin, the rabbit quickly cried out, "Don’t mess around, this is the Scripture Pavilion! If you cause trouble, Book Mountain won’t let you off!"
