Chapter 1093: Chapter 1093: The Arrival of the Skywing Crowd
The flame only lasted for five seconds before Lan Xuanyu forcefully extinguished it. His face was pale, and his body trembled continuously.
“Are you okay?” Bai Xiuxiu hurriedly came forward to support him.
Lan Xuanyu’s mouth twitched, “I’m fine. The Dragon God’s bloodline power burns too fiercely. In that instant, I felt as if my body was going to melt away. Luckily, it was my own bloodline power, so I was just barely able to suppress it.”
“Was it effective?” Bai Xiuxiu asked.
Lan Xuanyu nodded, “There was an effect. But it was too brief. The impact wasn’t significant enough. The dragon power here is far from sufficient. I probably need to absorb life energy for two days to recover. I’m sorry for affecting your cultivation. According to Huang Daoqi, once the dragon power is depleted, it takes about a day to recover. Come back tomorrow. Let’s go back.”
Back at his residence, Lan Xuanyu absorbed various foods that were specialties of Sky Dragon Planet brought by Huang Daoqi, rich in life energy, as he pondered his own situation.
It had been proven that the Dragon Power Refining was greatly beneficial to them. He had already felt it when he consumed the Dragon Soul Fruit for cultivation. It was just like today, the duration was a bit short.
Now he was certain that the truly powerful False Dragons of Sky Dragon Planet must be cultivating in that space. Only the intensity of the dragon power there could satisfy their cultivation needs.
His problem lay in the fact that the level of the Dragon God’s bloodline was too high, so the gentle dragon power that had been filtered was not enough to replenish his own. With Dragon Soul Fruits, consuming five or six at once would be more like it. Or, he would have to hunt the Dragon Clan. And it couldn’t be the lower-rank Dragon Clan.
That day when he devoured that lower-rank Dragon Clan member, Lan Xuanyu could feel that even if all of the bloodline essence of the lower-rank Dragon Clan were given to him alone, it wouldn’t be enough for even one cultivation session. The bloodlines were mixed and impure, hardly any could be filtered into Dragon God’s bloodline.
What could truly aid his cultivation was probably to devour an upper-rank Dragon Clan member. However, an adult upper-rank Dragon Clan member would at least have the cultivation of a Titled Douluo or even most likely be at the God Rank. This was not something he could just go for. If the opponent escaped, everything he had done before might be wasted.
Yet, without resorting to an upper-rank Dragon Clan for cultivation, he couldn’t find a good method for Dragon Power Refining. While his partners could all cultivate, he turned out to be the problematic one.
But Lan Xuanyu also understood that precisely because of the difficulty in cultivation, the method of Tempering using dragon power must bring great benefits to him. It could greatly accelerate the merging of the two great Dragon King bloodlines to achieve the Dragon God’s bloodline.
Despite the hardships, he needed to rise to the challenge. Lan Xuanyu’s fists clenched instinctively. He must have a meticulous plan. At least before going to the Ascending Dragon Competition, he had to complete one true Dragon Power Refining cultivation session. To become stronger. This way, he would be more confident.
As for now, although he couldn’t use Dragon Power Refining for cultivation, he could still use the Annihilation Thunder to Temper and refine his body.
He had compared these two methods of cultivation. Both were different and had their effects.
The Annihilation Thunder Body Refining was akin to the strongest Elemental Body Refining, elevating his own life level. Meanwhile, Dragon Power Refining was purely about strengthening the physical body, significantly increasing its sturdiness and intensifying the bloodline aura. This potent bloodline power could directly become his strength.
What he found somewhat regrettable was that when the Moke Dragon Knight had arrived, his cultivation wasn’t enough to truly sense the Dragon Knight’s state. Otherwise, he might have discovered even deeper mysteries surrounding Dragon Power Refining.
Huang Daoqi had said that even at the level of a Dragon Knight, one must continue to practice Dragon Power Refining to bolster one’s self.
Let’s start with Annihilation Thunder Body Refining first. Cultivating with Annihilation Thunder also led to rapid improvement and enhanced the resilience of the body. When the power of Bloodline Burning was employed, the body’s endurance would also strengthen, allowing for more thorough refinement.
Time passed in cultivation. Liang Pu had already been dispatched by Lan Xuanyu to purchase residences in sixteen cities. Whenever a property was secured, Lan Xuanyu would pilot the Emerald Demon Warship there at night to set up a Transfer Array, except, of course, for Sky Dragon City. But even there, he planned to buy a house because they might go there at some point in the future.
Besides his own cultivation progress, Lan Xuanyu was also aiding the Treasure Hunting Beast in its cultivation. The beast’s usefulness was growing by the day, whether in energy conversion or in aiding their transformations for protection. If the Treasure Hunting Beast’s divine consciousness level could match that of a Level One god, namely the Ultra Divine level, they wouldn’t have to worry about being recognized even in the presence of the First Seat of Sky Dragon Planet.
Lan Xuanyu refined his body with Annihilation Thunder, and although his bloodline power might not have directly increased, it was refined to a purer state before he absorbed life energy to replenish himself. With so many cultivation resources provided by Huang Daoqi, it would be wasteful not to use them. He also let the Treasure Hunting Beast absorb and cultivate with the enhanced bloodline power, which, apart from the immortal aura, was the best thing for it.
Liu Feng and his partners returned after nine days. Lan Xuanyu personally welcomed them, bringing all the partners of the Thirty-Three Skywing back to Sky Dragon Planet. For safety, they flew a total of three times back and forth, fully covered by the Treasure Hunting Beast.
Upon arrival, they entered Fenglong City in batches and settled into the prepared suburban residence. Though somewhat cramped, it was just enough.
The environment of Sky Dragon Planet greatly opened everyone’s eyes. Without Lan Xuanyu, they couldn’t leave the residence, as their human appearance was too conspicuous. Though higher-rank Dragon Clan could transform into humanoid form, they couldn’t just suddenly produce so many high-ranking Dragon Clan!
After setting up his partners, Lan Xuanyu went straight to Tree Elder to discuss his plan.
His plan was simple. More than forty plant-class soul beasts who had come this time had been absorbing life energy for a while. Despite having been disrupted midway, the disruption actually led to greater stability afterward. They were now finding the best spots around Fenglong City and the surrounding forests to absorb life energy and enhance themselves.
Having the members of Thirty-Three Skywing there, Lan Xuanyu hoped to pair each of his partners with one of the hundred-thousand-year plant-class soul beasts to cultivate alongside them. The vast life energy absorbed by these plant-class great ones could greatly accelerate their cultivation when a compatibility was found. This was something Lan Xuanyu had already discussed with these plant-class soul beasts before their arrival.
As for who was suited to which soul beast, Tree Elder was naturally the best at discerning that. It was most fitting for Tree Elder to take them to find these plant-class soul beasts and arrange for their cultivation.
Lan Xuanyu’s plan for this first batch of plant-class soul beasts was to let them cultivate here for approximately three to six months, likely after the Ascending Dragon Tournament, then have them return to the academy for a visit to deliver life energy back to the Eternal Tree. After confirmation by the academy, all the plant-class soul beasts below God Rank could also come together. They could quietly extract life energy on Sky Dragon Planet.
Tree Elder gladly agreed. The plant-class soul beasts were reaping considerable benefits here. He could distinctly feel that, due to the different life levels, even he felt as if he were regaining his youth, with his life’s decline temporarily halted. That meant if he lived on Sky Dragon Planet, he could live even longer.
Tang Yuge and Lan Mengqin took seven days to fully recover from the previous Bloodline Refinement exhaustion. The ample supply of life energy made both of them feel as if they had undergone a transformation.
