Chapter 1636  Awakening Immortal Monarchʼs Bloodline

Yuan stared at the Blood Essence in his grasp with a nervous gaze. Despite the Primal Monarchʼs assurance that it was safe to consume at his cultivation level, he couldnʼt help but feel uneasy.

After all, the Blood Essence belonged to an entity likely far stronger than even the Dragon Ancestor, whose Blood Essence he also possessed and has yet to consume due to his lack of cultivation.

”Are you really scared of a single drop of blood? When did you become such a coward?” The Primal Monarch casually mocked.

”A single drop of blood? Is that how little you view your own Blood Essence?” Yuan shook his head as he opened the bottle.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan tilted his head backward and poured the Blood Essence onto his tongue.

The Blood Essence immediately melted into his tongue.

Yuan immediately sat down and began cultivating in silence. He could feel his body burning, almost as if his blood was boiling, but it wasnʼt as intense as his first experience as Tian Yi.

A few days later, Yuanʼs bloodline had ascended by two grades. Unlike treasures and techniques, bloodlines had only four known grades, with the vast majority being Royal-grade.

After Royal-grade came Imperial-grade. In the human world, those with Imperial-grade bloodlines were regarded as nobles, hailing from the most elite bloodlines. In the beast world, they were considered royalty.

Above Imperial-grade was Divine-grade. Those with a Divine-grade bloodline were destined to rise above all others, standing as Emperors among their kind. If one searched the entire Nine Heavens, there would be less than a hundred entities with a Divine-grade bloodline.

The highest-known grade of bloodline was the Supreme-grade bloodline. Only the most powerful entities, such as Dragon Goddess Yeyou, the Primordial Phoenix, and the Dragon Ancestor, possessed such bloodlines. They are so rare that one could count all of them with two hands.

”Only Divine-grade? I was expecting it to reach Supreme-grade.” Yuan mused afterward.

”The Monarchʼs bloodline is, without doubt, Supreme-grade at the very least. However, youʼve only partially awakened your bloodline. If you want your bloodline to reach Supreme-grade, youʼll need to consume Supreme-grade Blood Essences to truly awaken your bloodlineʼs full potential.” The Primal Monarch said to him.

”I need to consume nine different Supreme-grade Blood Essence, correct? Can I assume that your Blood Essence doesnʼt count?”

The Primal Monarch nodded, ”My Blood Essence wonʼt count, so you still need nine more.”

ʼThe Dragon Ancestor should have a Supreme-grade bloodline, so thatʼs one down. If I count the Primordial Phoenixʼs Blood Essence in Feng Fengʼs possession, thatʼs two…ʼ

”What are your plans now?” The Primal Monarch suddenly asked him. ”Will you be returning to the human world now?”

”No, thereʼs still something I must do here… unless you can help me.”

Yuan retrieved Feng Yuxiangʼs egg and showed it to him.

”Can you do something about this?”

”What do you want me to do, exactly? If you want me to awaken the Phoenix inside forcefully, I can do that, but itʼll injure the Phoenix.”

”Can you speed up her recovery?”

The Primal Monarch glared at the egg and said, ”As far as I can tell, the Phoenix inside is already fully recovered.”

”Really? Then why isnʼt she coming out? I was told that she would come out once she fully recovers.”

”Iʼm afraid I donʼt have an answer to your question. If you want to know, you should visit the Phoenixesʼ territory.”

Yuan nodded, ”That was my plan from the start, but itʼs a little far, and I canʼt spend too much time in this place. Do you think you can send me there?”

”The Eternal Phoenix Domain, right?”

”Yes, thatʼs right.”

”I can send you there. What about your friend?”

”My friend?” Yuan raised an eyebrow.

”That Shadow Dweller youʼve been traveling with. Sheʼs still at the Mystic Valley.”

”I thought sheʼd left by now…” Yuan muttered in a low voice.

After taking some time to ponder, Yuan said, ”Let me talk to her for a bit.”

The Primal Monarch flicked his arm, casually creating a rift that led him directly back to the spot where he had left from.

When Yuan returned to the Mystic Valley, he noticed that Yingzi hadnʼt moved an inch from her spot. As for the Divine Fox of Grand Prophecy, she had disappeared somewhere, presumably to recover after exhausting herself to divine the Primal Monarchʼs location.

”Donʼt tell me that youʼve been waiting for me.” Yuan looked at Yingzi with a raised eyebrow.

She nodded and said, ”Well, I still donʼt understand what it means to be a human.”

”What if I never returned?” he asked.

”If you hadnʼt returned by the time I finished all of the meat skewers, I wouldʼve left,” she calmly said.

Yuan glanced at the number of meat skewers Yingzi had left. He had been gone for five days, yet she had only eaten a little over 100 skewers. It was clear to him that she had purposely slowed down, waiting for his return.

”Well, I am going to visit the Eternal Phoenix Domain now. Want to come along?”

”I wonʼt be able to protect you, though,” she said.

”Thatʼs fine. I can protect myself now.”

”Are you going to be visiting the Phoenixesʼ territory in that guise? Theyʼll attack you before you can even get close.” The Primal Monarch suddenly said to him.

”Hmm… youʼre right, and pretending to be a Phoenix is too risky. If I cannot be a Dragon or a Phoenix, I might as well go there as a human.”

Yuan deactivated his transformation for the first time since he came to the Primal Expanse, and his human scent immediately started to fill the air.

The Primals within the Mystic Valley quickly picked up his scent and immediately began rushing toward his location.

Despite the approaching threat, Yuan remained calm. He took a deep breath and spoke in a commanding voice, ”I donʼt have time to play with you lot. Scram.”

Though his voice was barely louder than usual, it sent a powerful ripple through the entire Mystic Valley.

The moment the Primals heard his voice, which resounded inside their heads like a thunderclap, they immediately turned and fled in the opposite direction.
