CHAPTER 538: CHAPTER 538 GREEN LOTUS BLOODLINE

"The girl is indeed suited for cultivating the Green Lotus Sword Manual!"

Emperor Yan was equally excited.

It was the first time she had shown such intense emotion.

The six forms of the Green Lotus Sword Manual indicated that Ling Wu’s future achievements would not be inferior to hers.

"Very good!"

Emperor Yan gave Ling Wu a firm nod.

"Take this elixir and rest for a while!"

As she spoke, Emperor Yan flicked her right hand and an elixir shot directly towards Ling Wu.

"Thank you, my Lord!"

Catching the elixir, Ling Wu quickly bowed in gratitude.

Consuming essence blood could cause some harm to the body.

And this kind of elixir was precisely the Beneficial Replenishing Pill for replenishing essence blood.

Of course, there were not many of these pills in the hands of Emperor Yan.

After all, she had perished long ago.

Only a remnant of her Divine Soul remained here.

As for the others, their talents were too poor to be worthy of consuming it.

"Next, Liu Qingcang."

Emperor Yan spoke.

Hearing this, Liu Qingcang immediately stepped forward, likewise infusing a drop of essence blood into the Transmission Technique Wall.

"Boom!"

A beam of light rose once more within the Transmission Technique Wall, reaching a height of forty-five zhang.

"Green Lotus Sword Manual, five forms!"

A loud voice once again echoed.

"Five forms?"

The crowd was once again bewildered.

Before Ling Wu and Liu Qingcang, it was mostly the younger generation of cultivators who had obtained the most forms of the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

However, Liu Qingcang had surpassed the holders of the Sacred Bodies such as Xia Biluo.

This was truly inconceivable.

"Not bad."

Emperor Yan looked at Liu Qingcang with a rather unusual gaze.

Clearly, this scene was also beyond her expectations.

The potency of essence blood was at its peak around the age of twenty.

At this time, one was most likely to gain recognition from the Transmission Technique Wall and acquire more forms of the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

Yet, Liu Qingcang was obviously much older than the rest.

However, he had obtained five forms of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, indicating that his comprehension was even above those with Sacred Bodies.

Had he been younger, his performance might have been even more astonishing.

"Uncle Cang’s talent is so strong!"

Ling Chen was also secretly amazed.

Of course, he was also genuinely happy for Liu Qingcang in his heart.

He would never have imagined that Uncle Cang’s comprehension was actually above those like Xia Biluo who held Sacred Bodies.

It seems that comprehension and physique aren’t necessarily correlated.

"Why are the people of the Night Moon so strong?"

Xia Biluo was gnashing his teeth in frustration.

For two individuals far surpassing him to emerge from the Night Moon was something he couldn’t accept.

Seeing Xia Biluo’s expression, Chu Xinghe laughed with schadenfreude.

For his rival, Great Xia, to suffer this setback was naturally a pleasure for Great Chu.

However, Qin Wudi, Zhou Heng, and Qi Luan all looked extremely solemn.

The emergence of such geniuses in the Great Xia Night Moon could pose a significant threat to their grand dynasties in the future.

Although Great Xia would bear the brunt,

if the Great Xia Royal Family could not withstand them, their dynasties would likely be next.

"Take this elixir and rest!"

Emperor Yan threw another Beneficial Replenishing Pill replenishing essence blood his way.

"Much appreciated, my Lord."

Liu Qingcang promptly expressed his thanks.

His face was filled with surprise.

Clearly, he hadn’t expected his own comprehension to be so high,

second only to Ling Wu.

Next, Emperor Yan called several other names.

These individuals were also people of Night Moon.

But these few were utterly mediocre.

The highest among them had only obtained two forms of the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

"Ling Chen!"

Emperor Yan called out the last person’s name.

Looking at Ling Chen’s performance before, she saw him in a new light.

Especially as Ling Chen possessed the Night Moon Saint Body, she could almost predict that his comprehension was the most terrifying.

Those with the Night Moon Saint Body also possess another Sacred Body alongside their Divine Soul called the Sunlight Holy Body.

And the strength of one’s comprehension is greatly related to the strength of the Divine Soul.

"Ling Chen," Ling Chen paid his respects to Emperor Yan with reverence before walking up to the Transmission Technique Wall.

At this moment, almost everyone’s gaze was focused on Ling Chen.

Even Lord Yan Huang looked on with a face full of anticipation.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Ling Chen slowly raised his right hand, his index finger aiming for the indentation.

Then, a drop of essence blood, flickering with specks of green light, emerged from the tip of his finger.

Finally, it was absorbed by the Transmission Technique Wall.

"Boom!"

A sudden tremor ran through the wall, followed by a thunderous sound echoing throughout Emperor Yan Realm.

"Whoosh!"

A beam of green and gold light shot out from the indentation like an arrow towards the heavens, instantly reaching a height of ninety-nine feet.

"What? How is this possible?"

"Eighty-one feet?"

"How can it be so tall?"

"How keen must this young man’s perception be?"

...

Everyone’s heads turned skyward, gazing at the soaring green and gold light beam, shaken to the core.

Previously, when everyone else was tested, the light beams were all blood-red in color.

They thought that was the norm.

But now, Ling Chen’s beam was green and gold in color.

And it reached a height of a full eighty-one feet!

"Green and gold color?"

"Eighty-one feet?"

"Is he one of our people?"

Emperor Yan was first dumbfounded, and then an unmatched look of joy instantly spread across Ling Chen’s face.

She hadn’t expected that, in this remote corner of Qing Province, she would encounter one of her own clan members!

And one with the bloodline, no less!

Only those with the Green Lotus Bloodline would release a green and gold aura from the Transmission Technique Wall.

As for the eighty-one feet, it was nothing extraordinary.

Anyone with the Green Lotus Bloodline would achieve the same.

"Green Lotus Sword Manual, six techniques!"

Just then, a loud voice echoed once again.

"Six techniques?"

Ling Chen’s brows furrowed slightly.

Based on his prior knowledge, he had concluded something.

At the very least, there should be nine techniques.

Could it be that the Green Lotus Sword Manual only has six techniques?

"How could there only be six techniques?"

The crowd was also dumbfounded.

Previously, everyone had been tested and had discovered a pattern.

The height of the light beam indicated the number of Green Lotus Sword Manual techniques one would receive—nine feet for each technique.

Xia Biluo, twenty-seven feet high, received three techniques from the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

Liu Qingcang, forty-five feet, five techniques.

Ling Wu, fifty-four feet, six techniques.

Following this reasoning, Ling Chen’s beam, at a full ninety-nine feet, should have earned him nine techniques from the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

"Are you from Qing Province?"

Emperor Yan suddenly appeared in front of Ling Chen, staring at him intensely and excitedly.

"Yes."

Ling Chen nodded.

He didn’t understand why Lord Yan Huang was so excited, seeing as he had obtained only six techniques of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, just like Ling Wu?

"Is your surname Ling?"

Emperor Yan asked again.

"Yes."

Ling Chen nodded again.

"What about your father’s surname?"

Emperor Yan inquired.

Ling Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Ling?"

Of course, he would carry his father’s surname.

"And your mother?"

Emperor Yan continued to question.

Anyone with the Green Lotus Bloodline must have at least one parent possessing the bloodline.

"It should be Li, I suppose?"

Ling Chen spoke with some uncertainty.

His father rarely mentioned his mother, and it was only recently when his father had let it slip during a bout of drunkenness.

"Indeed!"

Emperor Yan nodded gravely.

As the crowd watched Emperor Yan Huang start probing into Ling Chen’s personal background, they were all dumbstruck.
