Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Speed of Modifying the Seven-Star Formation

Each black Covert Dragon Coffin quietly held a person inside.

The first coffin held an elderly man in a golden robe. He lay flat, with his hands crossed over his lower abdomen. His eyes were closed tight, a serene expression on his face with a hint of faint hope.

It seemed as if he was yearning to live a second life.

A silver Seven-star formation was attached to his chest, composed of seven silver star points. Dragon Qi followed the formation, seeping into the elderly man’s body.

Ye Yun narrowed his eyes and then extended a Divine Sense to explore inside the body.

The life force within the elderly man in the golden robe felt like a large river, flowing freely, not at all like a dead person.

The remaining three coffins each housed an individual: a middle-aged man in a green robe, an elderly man in gray, and a white-haired youngster.

The life force each of them held varied significantly.

The white-haired youth’s life force was the strongest, followed by that of the elderly man in gray, while the man in the green robe’s was the weakest.

The elderly man in the golden robe’s life force... was slightly weaker than that of the man in the green robe.

Ye Yun seemed to understand.

The four Covert Dragon Coffins absorbed differing amounts of Dragon Qi due to the sequence in which they were buried. This resulted in tiered changes to the life force within them.

Ye Yun then turned his attention to the formations on their chests.

The seven points, akin to twinkling stars, formed an image of the Big Dipper, creating a mysterious formation.

The formation was identical on each person, with no variation, aside from their differing life forces.

The humans in the four Covert Dragon Coffins had undergone some changes due to years of being saturated with Dragon Qi.

Their bodily tissues, soaked in Dragon Qi from the Dragon Veins for years, had taken on a golden hue. Their physical strength had also seen a significant increase.

Ye Yun muttered to himself thoughtfully, ”So, the so-called vessel seems to be based on a powerful physical body...”

Cangnan Continent was the ancestral land of the Dragon Clan, and the Dragon Qi from the Dragon Caves here was entirely different from that found on other continents.

The Dragon Qi here was the real Dragon Qi.

Under the control of the Seven-star formation, a Human Cultivator’s body, after years of being soaked, washed, and modified by Dragon Qi, began to transform towards the strength of a Divine Dragon Body.

While there was still a profound distance from a genuine Divine Dragon Body, it had already surpassed the physical bodies of ordinary Human Cultivators and even some ancient Divine Beasts.

This discovery left Ye Yun lost in thought. He needed to conduct further verification.

Ye Yun looked away.

He resumed his research on the Seven-star formation on Big Black Cat.

If he could unravel the mysteries of one formation, the rest would also unravel.

「Three days later.」

A smile spread across Ye Yun’s face. He had finally understood more than ninety percent of this Seven-star formation.

As for the remaining ten percent, it concerned the fact that the five Seven-star formations could actually interact with each other in a certain way. Joining together as one, they formed a new Seven-star formation. Only then could Ye Yun further research the remaining ten percent.

I can now modify the speed at which Little Black Cat’s Seven-star formation absorbs Dragon Qi... Ye Yun’s eyes flickered, and he made several points in the air with his finger.

At this moment, numerous inscriptions within the seven silver star points on Big Black Cat’s chest began a magical rearrangement and combination.

The change happened quickly and was completed in the span of a few breaths.

The seven star points radiated a silver light, engulfing Big Black Cat’s entire body.

The Dragon Qi within the Dragon Cave rushed madly into this Covert Dragon Coffin, entering Big Black Cat’s body through the seven star points.

Suddenly, the life force within Big Black Cat started to change rapidly. Simultaneously, Big Black Cat’s physical body also began to undergo the washing and tempering of Dragon Qi.

Fortunately, its body, having consumed a significant amount of Eternal Life Immortal Grass in the Nine Soul Underground Palace, was extremely robust.

Under the control of the Seven-star formation, a vast amount of Dragon Qi poured in, continuously scrubbing and tempering every inch of its body’s tissues, with no abnormalities appearing for the time being.

Ye Yun observed this process intently.

As soon as he detected that the intensity of the Dragon Qi exceeded the limit Big Black Cat’s body could tolerate, he would change the operating speed of the Seven-star formation to make it slower.

「An incense stick’s worth of time passed.」

”Not bad!” Ye Yun discovered that Big Black Cat’s body could withstand the current speed, so he nodded in satisfaction.

Ye Yun tapped twice on the Seven-star formation on its chest. He continued adjusting the speed of the Seven-star formation, then began to carefully observe it.

This process was repeated several times. Eventually, he stopped adjusting the Seven-star formation, as it had already reached the limit Big Black Cat’s body could endure.

If he continued adjusting, Big Black Cat’s body would collapse.

Ye Yun looked at the other Covert Dragon Coffins. After making some comparisons, he found that the Seven-star formation he had modified could absorb and control Dragon Qi at a speed thousands of times greater than that of the Seven-star formations on the other people.

That a member of the Demon Clan, after devouring so many Eternal Life Immortal Grasses, can achieve such a rate is truly remarkable, Ye Yun thought with a gentle smile.

Since each person had been buried at different times, the growth of their flesh and the strength of their bodies differed. If they were to keep pace with Big Black Cat, they needed corresponding adjustments.

Ye Yun made virtual points in the air, slightly adjusting the other four Seven-star formations.

The Seven-star formation on the white-haired youth was adjusted the least, as he was the first to be buried in the Dragon Cave.

The Seven-star formation on the middle-aged man in the green robe was adjusted the most.

After all this was done, Ye Yun carefully compared the speeds of the Seven-star formations again, then nodded in great satisfaction.

If nothing went wrong, in ten days, everyone’s vitality would be restored to normal, and the evolution of their bodies would come to fruition. In such a perfect state, each person’s Seven-star formation would echo the others and create a new change.

Ye Yun flashed out, leaving the Dragon Cave and returning to the carriage.

Then, with a light touch of his hand, he sealed the Dragon Cave with an invisible restriction, preventing the golden light from escaping.

”Master, why were you gone for so long?” the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon asked Ye Yun with a smile.

”It took some time to break that Seven-star formation,” Ye Yun replied with a smile.

Looking at Big Black Horse, he suddenly said, ”Little Horse, we’ll wait here for ten days.”

”Alright, Master.” Big Black Horse nodded, then pulled the carriage down from mid-air onto a mountaintop.

With a flash, Ye Yun returned to the carriage compartment.

Mu Qing was boiling water for tea.

After Ye Yun drank a cup of tea, he began cultivating again.

He had ten days. Within this time, he should be able to break through to the Peak of the God Monarch Realm.

Not only Ye Yun was cultivating; the other demon beasts were also practicing quietly.

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon had already refined the two Octagonal Bright Silver Hammers and was now studying the Stasis Technique-based Divine Skills.

”Sigh, on this continent, the spiritual energy doesn’t even contain Divine Nature. Cultivation is useless for me.”

The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon yawned, cradled its head in its fluffy paws, and fell into a deep sleep again.

「On Moon Star.」

In the valley of the Coffin Carrier Clan, the only building that hadn’t collapsed was the lone Dragon Temple.

Above the altar, the void suddenly fluctuated, and a small vortex appeared without warning.
