Chapter 36: Colossal Rewards—Blood of the Ten Fiends, King-Grade Cultivation Method.

[Reward successfully claimed. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the following: Family Heirloom—Comprehension Chamber, Xuan Yue Cang Lang Cauldron, Slaughter-Class Formation Heavenly Gang Nine-Revolution Array, Ten Portions of Special-Grade Rebirth and Marrow-Cleansing Decoction, Three-Light Godslayer Saber, One Mirror-Breaking Card, One Faxiang Realm Puppet, One Random King-Grade Cultivation Method, Five Heaven-Tier Martial Techniques, One Random Secret Technique, and Five Million Luck Points!]

Upon seeing the sheer number of rewards, Ye Wushang’s eyes widened instantly, joy tugging at the corners of his lips.

He hadn’t expected the ten-person package to be so extravagant.

Very quickly, he began examining the uses of each reward.

[Comprehension Chamber: A family heirloom treasure, consisting of one main hall and nine secret rooms. Any Ye clan cultivator who enters will have their cultivation speed doubled, their comprehension of cultivation methods and martial arts doubled, and the probability of achieving enlightenment greatly increased!]

Excellent treasure—an absolute gem!

Ye Wushang’s eyes lit up. In that instant, he grasped the immense value of this heirloom.

[Xuan Yue Cang Lang Cauldron: A mysterious ancient treasure. In the ancient era, the Xuan Yue Cang Lang Clan would hold baptismal rites for their descendants, collecting countless rare treasures to stew into medicinal decoctions within this cauldron. Over the years, as it absorbed the essence of these decoctions, the cauldron transformed!]

[Any Ye clan member who begins cultivation at the age of fourteen and enters this cauldron for baptism will have their body purified, accelerating their cultivation. There is a small chance to upgrade their aptitude tier, and a small chance to awaken a special talent or physique. The effect is further enhanced when used alongside decoctions!]

This is unquestionably an extraordinary relic!

That was Ye Wushang’s first thought. With it, the aptitude of the Ye clan’s younger generation could be significantly improved, producing more future powerhouses.

Of course, he would also need to gather the ingredients needed for the baptismal decoction.

[Heavenly Gang Nine-Revolution Array: Grade Six Slaughter Formation. At the sixth revolution, it can suppress and kill a Grandmaster of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm; at the seventh, it can suppress a powerhouse of the Purple Mansion Realm; at the eighth, it can slay a mighty cultivator of the Faxiang Realm; at the ninth, it can resist a Marquis-Sealing powerhouse of the Cave Heaven Realm for half a stick of incense’s time!]

This could serve as the Ye Family guardian mountain formation.

However, it required a massive consumption of spirit stones, so it couldn’t be activated lightly.

[Rebirth and Marrow-Cleansing Decoction: Special-grade decoction used by ancient imperial clans during baptismal rites for their heirs. It is refined with the blood essence of ten types of sacred and fierce beasts—including the True Dragon, Fire Phoenix, Azure Luan, Pixiu, Taowu, and Taotie—alongside rare treasures such as the Heavenly Silkworm Flower, Dragon Rock Fruit, and Undying Essence!]

[Using this decoction for baptism enhances aptitude and comprehension, offers a high chance of awakening ancient bloodlines, and upgrades innate abilities. It is an unpassed secret of the great imperial clans of antiquity!]

Hiss~!

Even with Ye Wushang’s mental fortitude, he couldn’t help but gasp in awe.

The fact that this was used by ancient imperial clans for their heirs spoke volumes of its power.

Just the inclusion of those ten fierce beasts’ blood essences and other materials like the Heavenly Silkworm Flower and Undying Essence left Ye Wushang marveling in amazement.

These were things he not only couldn’t acquire but which had long since vanished from the world.

At least, in the vast Canglan Domain, he had never even heard of such things.

So, his dream of making every Ye clan member a dragon among men was destined to remain unfulfilled.

He even wanted to use this stuff himself.

Unfortunately, this decoction only worked on those without cultivation who were about to undergo their baptism.

According to Ye Wushang’s knowledge, many major factions used such baptism rites when their direct bloodline descendants began cultivation.

One such example was the mighty clan of the Ancient City of Cangyuan.

Naturally, minor clans like the Ye clan had no access to this.

Even the Summer Clan of the Great Xia royal family had abandoned the practice after the founding era, due to the extreme difficulty in gathering the materials.

And even then, the efficacy of other baptismal decoctions varied. The one Ye Wushang held in his hands—none could afford to use it anymore.

Still, even if he couldn’t make the original, a simplified version might be possible.

Especially with the Xuan Yue Cang Lang Cauldron in hand, the decoction’s effects could be enhanced.

Of course, this would require careful study of the Rebirth and Marrow-Cleansing Decoction first.

[Mirror-Breaking Card: Usable below the Faxiang Realm. It allows the host to break through one cultivation realm instantly!]

Not bad—he could save it for when he reached the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Purple Mansion Realm, saving time and a huge chunk of Luck Points.

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the King-Grade Cultivation Method—Qi Swallowing the Vast Sea Scripture. Comprising nine revolutions, each revolution doubles the size of the Purple Mansion, increases the spiritual energy tenfold, and boosts both the density and quality of spiritual energy. Usable only after reaching the Purple Mansion Realm!]

As expected, King-Grade techniques came with cultivation requirements.

Otherwise, if major factions gave King- or Emperor-Grade techniques to juniors from the get-go, the rest of the smaller factions would never have a chance to catch up.

This method was excellent—very suitable for his cultivation path.

Ye Wushang nodded, already forming a plan in his heart.

The five Heaven-Tier martial techniques included one each for saber, fist, sword, spear, and palm.

The saber technique was named Forgotten River Saber Art. Legend said that once mastered to perfection, one slash could split the banks of the River of Forgetfulness.

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the secret technique—Tribulation Blood Art: By sacrificing one-tenth of your blood essence, unleash a strike that surpasses your current cultivation realm, capable of slaying enemies across realms. After use, there will be a period of weakness!]

Tsk, tsk!

Reading this, Ye Wushang couldn’t help but sigh in admiration—whoever created this technique was a true madman.

Good thing this was a fantasy world—if it were his previous life, losing that much blood would cause instant shock.

Having reviewed all his rewards, Ye Wushang was deeply satisfied.

He knew that once all these rewards were fully utilized, both his own power and that of the Ye clan would skyrocket.

Soon after, he finished setting up the Heavenly Gang Nine-Revolution Formation, limiting control access to himself and the First Elder, Ye Weiwu.

Currently, Ye Weiwu had already reached the Second Layer of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm and was a true Grandmaster.

The Second and Third Elders had also entered the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, while even the Fourth and Fifth Elders were approaching the peak of the Divine Sea Realm.

It could be said that the Ye clan’s strength had grown terrifyingly powerful without anyone realizing it.

Then, he handed three Purple Mansion Realm puppets to the First Elder to serve as hidden trump cards for the clan.

As for the Faxiang Realm puppet, he kept that for himself.

This thing could unleash the full power of a perfected Faxiang Realm cultivator. As long as he didn’t face a true genius or a Marquis-Sealing expert of the Cave Heaven Realm, he would be safe.

Such a trump card naturally had to be kept close.

As for medicinal fields and spiritual lands, he left those for the First Elder to manage—he wouldn’t meddle.

After all was said and done, he finally returned to his room, ready to digest everything he had just received.

Looking at his current assets, he had a total of 9.5 million Luck Points—unprecedented, nearly breaking the 10-million mark.

With so many Luck Points, Ye Wushang didn’t plan to save them.

He would use them all to boost his strength.

[Ding! Consuming one million Luck Points…]
