Chapter 1765 – Three-Lives Realm (1)
The Sovereign's Ascension
Retracting his gaze, Lin Yun replied, âIâm naturally not afraid of the pain, and Iâm also not afraid of the process. Iâm just feeling conflicted.â
As a swordsman, Lin Yun was decisive when it came to many things, but he hesitated when it came to the Divine Azure Overlord Physique.
âThere are other reasons?â Mu Xueling asked, and she stopped tapping the jade slip on the table.
Nodding her head, Lin Yun replied, âI have cultivated the Azure Dragon Saint Physique in the past before practicing the Blue Dragon Skybreaking Art now. After all, I have a Blue Dragon Bone. According to my Big Brother, if the Blue Dragon Skybreaking Art reaches perfection, thereâs a chance it will form into the Azure Dragon Divine Physique.â
Mu Xuelingâs expression became grave when she heard that because there was a difference between a saint and a divine physique. It might sound like there was a difference in one word, but the gap was drastic and unimaginable.
âIf I remember correctly, the Azure Dragon Divine Physique only exists in legends. In ancient times, no one had achieved it, and no one knows the specific cultivation method.â Mu Xueling said. She read many books, and she knew many secrets. But there was little to almost nothing about the Azure Dragon Divine Physique. More accurately, no one has achieved it before.
âThe Divine Azure Overlord Physique is naturally stronger than the Blue Dragon Skybreaking Art without question, but it might not be comparable to the Azure Dragon Divine Physique. At the very least, they each have their advantages and disadvantages.â Lin Yun said.
The Divine Azure Overlord Physique was terrifying and was mainly meant for fighting. After all, he could even ignite his vitality to receive a significant boost in fighting prowess. If he ignited all his vitality, his strength might multiply tenfold.
But the Azure Dragon Divine Physiqueâs strength lies in longevity. It might not be able to compare to the Divine Azure Overlord Physique regarding fighting prowess, but he would have endless vitality. They each had their own advantages, and it was hard to see which was stronger.
But no matter how he looked at it, the Azure Dragon Divine Physique was more suitable for his swordsmanship. If the Azure Dragon Divine Physique combined with his swordsmanship, his fighting prowess might not be inferior to the Divine Azure Overlord Physique. The Azure Dragon wielded thunderstorms, and the Blue Dragon wielded lifeforce.
âItâs no wonder why youâre so conflicted. Youâre conflicted because the Divine Azure Overlord Physique can allow your strength to undergo a great boost quickly, but it isnât suitable to your swordsmanship in the long run.â Mu Xueling said.
Lin Yun nodded in acknowledgment. Mu Xueling was smart.
âThe Azure Dragonâs lineage is powerful, and they gave you the three treasures probably because they wanted you to compete for the Azure Dragon Lordâs position. If you donât practice the Divine Azure Overlord Physique, you might run into opponents who possess it in the future when you encounter the other branches of the Azure Dragonâs lineage.â Mu Xueling said. âAt that time, youâll lose if you only have the Blue Dragon Skybreaking Art.â
âHow about this? Iâll give up on the Divine Azure Overlord Physique. But the Divine Azure Blood is a great treasure. I can use it to cultivate the Blue Dragon Skybreaking Art along with my cultivation.â Lin Yun said.
âIâm afraid you wonât be able to finish refining it anytime soon.â Mu Xueling said.
âThen Iâll use a Three-Lives Fruit first.â Lin Yun said. He now had two Three-Lives Fruits. If he had to hesitate whether to use it in the Dragon Pulse Realm or Samsara Edict Realm, he didnât have to consider that now. One was enough for him now, and he could save the other for when he reached the Samsara Edict Realm.
âWhich one of these two?â Lin Yun asked, taking out the two Three-Lives Fruits. One was given to him by Jiang Li, and the other was obtained together with Yue Weiwei.
âThis one. This is roughly one year, and the other is at least five years. You can use it after reaching the Samsara Edict Realm. Remember, you must save it for when youâre in the Samsara Edict Realm.â Mu Xueling looked serious when she warned him.
Lin Yun didnât know her intentions, but that didnât go against his plan. He planned to preserve one for when he reached the Samsara Edict Realm.
âHow are you able to tell the difference?â Lin Yun asked curiously.
âTheir weight.â Mu Xueling said. âTime also has weight. So, what will you do with the Azure Dragonâs Soul? If you plan to inject it into the Azure Dragon Sun-Moon Umbrella, I can help you. If you want to inject it into your sword, you must figure out a way yourself.â
âIâll have to trouble Saint Elder, then.â That was also what Lin Yun planned, since he had no intention of injecting it into the Flower Burial Sword.
âDonât finish refining the Divine Azure Blood. Leave some behind, and you can get a Divine Spiritualist to help you engrave a divine rune on your Divine Astral Flower if you run into one.â Mu Xueling said.
âThere are Divine Spiritualists in the Kunlun Realm? But canât Divine Spiritualists draw divine runes by themselves? So why save some of the Divine Azure Blood?â Lin Yun asked.
âIf they drew without materials, the divine runes wonât last long. Only a divine rune drawn with divine blood can be preserved for a long time, but thereâs still no guarantee that itâll last for eternity.â Mu Xueling explained.
âYou seem to know a lot about Divine Spiritualists.â Lin Yun stated, but he soon regretted it because Mu Xueling would probably say she read it from books.
âMy aunt is a Divine Spiritualist.â But unexpectedly, Mu Xueling answered something different after a brief hesitation. When Lin Yun fell into deep thought, Mu Xueling continued, âMy aunt is Weiweiâs mother.â
Lin Yun was taken aback by the news, and he didnât know if Mu Xueling meant an aunt related by blood or something else.
âIâll have to trouble Saint Elder with the Azure Dragonâs Soul, then. I will first refine the Divine Azure Blood.â When Lin Yun was done, he handed the Dragon Sealing Monument and Azure Dragon Sun-Moon Umbrella to Mu Xueling before activating the Three-Lives Fruit.
When he activated the Three-Lives Fruit, the fruit disintegrated, and a vortex appeared that seemed to be connected to another time and space.
Stowing the jade slips recording the Azure Dragon Sword Art and Divine Azure Overlord Physique, he took the Lotus Treasure Bottle and entered the vortex without any hesitation. His entire world began to spin, and he could feel himself passing through several membrane layers.
Ultimately, he came to a mysterious space, only ten miles in radius. Beyond that was an abyssal darkness that even his sword intent couldnât penetrate. This should be the Three-Lives Realm; he wasnât sure how long he could last here.
âLetâs start with refining the Divine Azure Blood.â Lin Yun had already refined the bottle earlier, so he could control it as he wished. The moment the bottle cap popped off, a majestic suction force swept out, pulling him into the vortex before landing on a blood lake. There was only a drop of divine blood, but this lake was thousands of feet in size.
