Chapter 843: A Hundred Years Pass, Awaiting Bloom

The central point of the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool, the Dragon Transformation Fluid, looked like a formless mass and gave off a hazy flicker.
Luo Yunyang immediately took out the Great Path Golden Lotus he kept within his body. Although the tiny Great Path Golden Lotus was incomparable to the vast layers of Dragon Transformation Fluid, the Dragon Transformation Fluid rushed frantically over like a raging ocean when the Great Path Golden Lotus appeared.
Waves rose thousands of feet high.
Every single action of Luo Yunyang was carefully observed by the Sacred Wyrm Tribe Patriarch. A look of astonishment appeared on his face when he saw Luo Yunyang take out the Great Path Golden Lotus.
The Great Path Golden Lotus had immense value, so even the Sacred Wyrm Tribe Patriarch himself would be tempted.
Although the Sacred Wyrm Tribe was also a large tribe, obtaining a Great Path Golden Lotus in a newly-formed cosmos was still not easy.
Furthermore, this Great Path Golden Lotus had been plucked whole by Luo Yunyang.
“White Crane, can you pass on my words to that young fellow? If he gives me that Great Path Golden Lotus, I can offer him three treasures no less valuable than the Great Path Golden Lotus.”
Yuan Venerate White Crane’s attention was also on the Great Path Golden Lotus. He knew what Luo Yunyang’s exceptional opportunity had been. He had also thought that Luo Yunyang had failed during that opportunity.
However, he realized now that Luo Yunyang had probably succeeded.
Although he hadn’t obtained a complete, developed Great Path Golden Lotus, he had managed to pluck the maturing Great Path Golden Lotus whole.
“I’m afraid that Luo Yunyang wouldn’t exchange it. This Great Path Golden Lotus is an ultimate treasure that strengthens an internal universe, so it is very important to Luo Yunyang.” Yuan Venerate White Crane thought about it before rejecting the idea.
The Sacred Wyrm Tribe Patriarch thought to himself but didn’t say anything else.
He did have treasures that were comparable to the Great Path Golden Lotus. He even considered exchanging some items that were even more precious than the Great Path Golden Lotus.
However, those items were very precious too, and he really couldn’t bear to offer them up.
Thus, the Sacred Wyrm Tribe Patriarch remained silent after taking a parting look at the Great Path Golden Lotus.
Suddenly, Yuan Venerate Crane seemed to think of something and said, “I heard that the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool and the Nine Heaven Falls are actually parts of a whole.”
“If the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool was situated at the top of Nine Heaven Falls, wouldn’t the difficulty increase and the Dragon Transformation Fluid in the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool be more powerful?”
Yuan Venerate White Crane’s remark seemed random, but the meaning behind his words was clear. He wasn’t too reassured by the Sacred Wyrm Tribe’s Patriarch.
The Sacred Wyrm Tribe’s Patriarch snorted. He clearly could tell what these words implied. There were rules between the Nine Heaven Falls and the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool that even he couldn’t change.
“Yuan Venerate White Crane should leave quickly if there’s nothing else. Although the Sacred Wyrm Tribe welcomes you, this old man will still feel very uneasy if you are around.”
Yuan Venerate White Crane, who didn’t find this that surprising, smiled and said, “Then I shall not disturb the Patriarch. I will just have to trouble Patriarch to arrange a cultivation ground for me so I can slowly wait.”
The Sacred Wyrm Patriarch had a look of helplessness on his face. Although his cultivation base was above Yuan Venerate White Crane’s, he couldn’t do anything if Yuan Venerate White Crane wanted to stay here.
“White Crane, you should believe me. Nothing will happen to Luo Yunyang while I’m here,” the Sacred Wyrm Patriarch said with a hint of resentment in his voice.
Yuan Venerate White Crane kept smiling as he replied, “I naturally believe you, Patriarch. However, protecting Luo Yunyang is a task assigned to me by the sacred hall.”
“Unless he becomes a sixth-level Heavenly Venerate, this responsibility will be mine till the end of time.”
As the two of them were talking, the Great Path Golden Lotus that had already fallen into the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool started to slowly unfurl its petals.
Although these petals were blossoming for the first time, streaks of golden markings were reflected on half the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool as the flower petals unfurled.
The Sacred Wyrm Patriarch eyed the Great Path Golden Lotus and cleared his throat. “Since you are willing to stay at the Sacred Wyrm Tribe, you’ll be a guest at my place. This Great Path Golden Lotus will need at least a hundred years to reach full bloom. This old fogey will waste a hundred years with you!”
A period of a hundred years really wasn’t that long for entities like Yuan Venerate White Crane, who laughed heartily. “Very well.”
Luo Yunyang was oblivious to the two Almighties watching him through special means. He didn’t even know that Yuan Venerate White Crane had already arrived at the Sacred Wyrm Tribe.
When Luo Yunyang placed the Great Path Golden Lotus into the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool and waited for the first petal to blossom, he realized that the Great Path Golden Lotus would need at least a hundred years to reach full bloom.
A hundred years wasn’t too long for Luo Yunyang, who had already become a Heavenly Venerate. It could even be considered a really short time.
After all, being able to rise by one Heavenly Venerate level within a hundred years was an astonishing rate that would make many people raise their eyebrows.
The Great Path Golden Lotus was really important, so Luo Yunyang wouldn’t leave it alone in the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool. Thus, after Luo Yunyang placed the Great Path Golden Lotus down, he sat in a lotus position himself within the Dragon Transformation Pool.
The waters of the Dragon Transformation Pool contained massive energy. However, this energy wasn’t too useful to Luo Yunyang’s cultivation base.
After cultivating quietly in the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool for a year, Luo Yunyang felt his eyes fly open all of a sudden.
A gold glimmer flashed through Luo Yunyang’s eyes.
Bloodline: 0.5!
His Bloodline Attribute, which was displayed on the attribute regulator, had actually reached 0.5! This attribute hadn’t experienced any improvement ever since Luo Yunyang had found himself stuck at the Ninth Gene Seal.
Although Luo Yunyang had tried many different ideas, he hadn’t managed to break the Ninth Gene Seal because he lacked the most crucial cultivation method.
However, as his Bloodline increased now, Luo Yunyang vaguely sensed that an opportunity to break the Ninth Gene Seal had appeared.
With this thought in mind, Luo Yunyang made up his mind. He didn’t consider what this opportunity to break the Ninth Gene Seal could be. Instead, he stayed in a lotus position and continued to purify his own bloodline.
One year, two years, three years later…
The Great Path Golden Lotus petals continued to blossom continuously in the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool. The color of the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool had also started to gradually become lighter. Beside the Great Path Golden Lotus, Luo Yunyang was like an unmoving statue in a lotus position.
However, the aura emanating from him was even more magnificent and far-reaching.
Yuan Venerate White Crane and the Sacred Wyrm Tribe had been observing Luo Yunyang all this time. The two of them exchanged glances when Luo Yunyang’s aura reached even further.
“His physical body has ascended to the Heavenly Venerate level!” The Sacred Wyrm Tribe Patriarch lamented. “I never imagined that this young fellow would actually possess such great will.”
Yuan Venerate White Crane only nodded. However, the way he looked at Luo Yunyang was much more solemn.
50 years passed in the blink of an eye and the Great Path Golden Lotus was already half in bloom. The Dragon Transformation Fluid of the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool had also turned somewhat transparent.
During these fifty years, Luo Yunyang hadn’t budged from the Great Path Golden Lotus’ side at all. The only thing that had changed was his aura, which had become even more dignified and grand.
This was the awe of a mighty ruler. The sort of awe that could make ordinary people crumble.
Time passed and yet 49 more years went by. During these 49 years, the last petal of the Great Path Golden Lotus blossomed thanks to the nourishment of the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool.
The nearly fully-bloomed Great Path Golden Lotus shone with dazzling brilliance, while its 99 petals each contained boundless mystery.
When the last petal unfurled, Luo Yunyang finally moved.
“Open!” At that shout, a far-reaching magnificent aura emanated from Luo Yunyang.
His body, which was sitting in a lotus position in the Eight-Treasure Dragon Transformation Pool, swelled up to the size of a mountain.
As Luo Yunyang was roused, his body rapidly shrank. In just a moment, he had become as tiny as a grain of sand.
“Transform, transform, transform!” Luo Yunyang muttered as his body became millions of Luo Yunyangs. Every single one of these millions of Luo Yunyangs was real!
By unlocking the Ninth Gene Seal, his physical body reached the Heavenly Venerate level!
Unlocking the Ninth Gene Seal caused Luo Yunyang’s cultivation base to experience a massive rise. It seemed like Luo Yunyang, who was a first-level Heavenly Venerate, was gaining another internal universe.
The Great Path Golden Lotus could allow Luo Yunyang to ascend to a second-level Heavenly Venerate and derive a second internal universe. Unlocking the Ninth Gene Seal had allowed Luo Yunyang’s physical body to reach the Heavenly Venerate boundary.
However, compared to unlocking the Ninth Gene Seal, what delighted Luo Yunyang was that tiny black and yellow towers had formed on all the blood towers in his body.
Without a Heavenly Venerate cultivation base, these tiny towers couldn’t be sensed at all. However, as his blood changed, Luo Yunyang felt his strength and consciousness rise.
Perhaps this was the wonder of the Black Yellow Supreme Blood.
Immediately, the black and yellow towers in his blood gathered and formed a two-meter-tall black and yellow pagoda with 18 levels that wrapped around his body.
As this black and yellow pagoda formed, Luo Yunyang even sensed 18 paths of creation source origin beginning to stir as if they were rushing into the black and yellow pagoda!
