Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

As soon as Chu Linfeng entered the blood pool, he felt as if he was trapped in a swamp. The blood in the pool looked unremarkable but was actually like paste, and the pungent smell made him feel nauseous.

Chu Linfeng wasn’t surprised by this phenomenon. The paste-like consistency indicated that the water in the blood pool was dense, and the unpleasant smell was due to the presence of many spirit medicines, along with the bodies of Golden Dragons who exploded during the bloodline baptism.

Chu Linfeng gradually cleared his mind and stood quietly in the blood pool water. The water wasn’t very deep, just enough for him to keep his head above it. However, he could sense a stream of energy slowly entering his body through the pores of his skin.

Chu Linfeng recalled that the Golden Dragon had said that in about half an hour, the energy could reach a saturation state to awaken his bloodline power. However, based on the current energy entering his body, it seemed that even after an hour, it might not reach saturation. He was concerned whether excessive energy might lead to explosion and body destruction.

”Lin Feng, your physique is different from others. Just absorb at ease. Even if your body does explode, you don’t need to worry. It would only happen when you break through the Eighth Layer of the Star Body, but it might make you wish you were dead, or possibly delay your progress in restoring my body,” the Sword Spirit said.

”That’s hardly reassuring! I think it’s best to limit the absorption to half an hour. If I do break through to the Eighth Layer of the Star Body, it will be troublesome. I don’t want anything unexpected at this critical moment,” Chu Linfeng replied.

”Haha, just teasing you. Do you think breaking through the Star Body is that easy? Without a level of Immortal or above, there’s absolutely no way. So stop overthinking it; your body can withstand staying in there for quite a while,” the Sword Spirit said.

Half an hour quickly passed, and Chu Linfeng noticed that the energy entering his body from the blood pool was accelerating. No wonder the Golden Dragon Hall Master advised leaving the pool after half an hour—it seems there was merit to this.

Chu Linfeng concentrated and began circulating the blood pool’s energy within his dantian. Upon doing so, he was startled as the chaotic dragon power inside him instantly began to merge with this energy at an incredibly fast rate, quickly filling up the dantian space.

”Don’t panic, keep absorbing the energy from the blood pool. You still haven’t broken through your realm, let alone awakened your bloodline power. Awakening true Ancestral Dragon bloodline won’t come easily,” the Sword Spirit advised.

Energy continued surging into Chu Linfeng’s body from the blood pool. Besides his dantian reaching saturation, his meridians, muscles, and bones slowly began to get saturated too. At this moment, Chu Linfeng looked like he had suddenly grown fatter, transforming from a handsome young man into a big fatty almost in an instant.

Chu Linfeng felt uncomfortably bloated, truly at the brink of exploding from within, yet he continued enduring with sheer perseverance. He knew the Sword Spirit wouldn’t deceive him, that he needed to break through to the Ninth Layer of the Saint Martial Realm; this was a rare opportunity.

As time slipped by, Chu Linfeng realized he’d been in the pool for over three hours. If the Golden Dragon Grand Elder and others knew this, they’d be speechless with astonishment. Three hours were enough for anyone else to explode and die, yet Chu Linfeng was still hanging on, barely sustaining himself.

His muscles could no longer endure the powerful pressure and began to tear apart, releasing light golden blood. However, the internal energy showed no signs of leaking. After a long while, his meridians crumbled completely followed by his bones, and he felt unable to support his body any longer as he began to sink into the blood pool.

At this moment, the Sword Spirit said, ”It’s time to come out. Circulate your dragon power in the dantian to purge any impurities in the blood, then re-enter the blood pool.”

Without a moment to think about the Sword Spirit’s words, Chu Linfeng, in a single motion of thought, emerged from the blood pool and lay on its banks. With his meridians and bones shattered, he couldn’t even sit up. The severe pain throughout his body had numbed him, and slowly, he began circulating the chaotic dragon power in his dantian.

The chaotic dragon power, which had reached saturation, was now able to circulate, albeit slowly. Bit by bit, it started releasing through the fractured meridians, and Chu Linfeng felt it was a pity to waste such potent chaotic dragon power.

Meanwhile, the wood element within him was swiftly mending the broken meridians and bones, as well as the completely torn muscles, leaving him in a sorry state. However, over time, Chu Linfeng noticed the swelling feeling inside him was gradually disappearing, and his meridians and bones were recovering.

”Did you see the impurities in your blood? Once those are purged, the chaotic dragon power and absorbed energy within you should be adequately diluted. Then, you can re-enter the blood pool, absorb more, come out, and expel the impurities from your blood repeatedly until you break through to the Ninth Layer of the Saint Martial Realm,” the Sword Spirit instructed.

Chu Linfeng was dumbfounded, realizing he had to go through this torturous cycle multiple times. One round was unforgettable enough, and he felt like crying but had no tears.

Despite his frustration, it had to be done. Chu Linfeng looked into his blood and indeed saw a mass of black material—the so-called impurities. Only by completely purging these impurities could he attain the purest bloodline, making the energy in the awakened bloodline easier to harness.

As Chu Linfeng expelled the impurities from his blood, he felt utterly exhausted, with sweat no longer even resembling sweat. His chaotic dragon power was now completely depleted, and when he glanced at the blood impurities, they were black, tar-like, filthy-smelling substances.

”Use fire transformation to destroy the blood impurities. If these fell into evil hands, it would be disastrous,” the Sword Spirit reminded him.

Chu Linfeng destroyed the impurities before jumping back into the blood pool, instantly feeling a comforting sensation wash over him. The pool’s energy began to enter his body quickly, almost half again as fast as before, and he swiftly merged it with the chaotic dragon power.

Thus, Chu Linfeng continued absorbing blood pool energy and expelling blood impurities, going through this cycle three times before he stopped. This was because, as he expelled the impurities for the third time, his body emitted a crisp sound, causing the blood impurities to remain in his blood...
