Chapter 229: Bloodline Descendant Rebirth, Dragon Lord Aims for Immortality

Chen Xiyi did not know how Ao Lü came to be, but he saw how Ao Lü died.

Ao Lü was sliced into pieces by a kitchen knife.

The one who did it was quite famous—the First God of Cuisine, the one who ended countless Supernatural Chefs from the light and dark culinary worlds.

However, Ao Lü did not die completely back then. He escaped successfully using a Grotto-Heaven treasure and began planning his revival.

Now, he was dead, but not entirely gone. He could still revive. Before his Primordial Spirit shattered, it scattered and blended into his numerous human descendants. No one knew about this.

His body decayed inside the Grotto-Heaven, polluting many plants and animals. Due to the Path of Union and Joy, Dragon Vein Flora and Fauna appeared.

Yes, after Qi Refinement, Foundation Building, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul came Divine Transformation, where the Nascent Soul becomes the Primordial Spirit.

However, this Primordial Spirit was somewhat different from Chen Xiyi’s Primordial Spirit, even though they had the same name.

After Divine Transformation, some cultivation stages were missing, jumping directly to the Great Ascension Stage. Before his death, Ao Lü was a Cultivator at the Great Ascension Stage and, thanks to the super foods from the Supernatural Chefs, was considered a Half-Step Immortal.

From this, it appeared that before this, Ao Lü and the local culinary forces coexisted peacefully, even intimately, but for some unknown reason, the First God of Cuisine suddenly killed him.

After killing Ao Lü, the First God of Cuisine did not fare well either. He died three days later due to severe injuries. This was something Chen Xiyi learned from historical records obtained from various Hidden World Clans.

“The First God of Cuisine’s strength was probably about the same as Ao Lü’s at his peak, but compared to Lin Feng, these two were worlds apart.”

“So, this round is steady. As long as Ao Lü dares to show himself, I will use the Sword Realm Projection to instantly eliminate him.”

Although the Sword Realm Projection could unleash extremely terrifying power even without being used, in a VS battle, using some consumables was quite normal. Besides, he felt that for Lin Feng, this item might have been casually made. Perhaps the next time the Itinerant Merchant returned, he might bring another one.

After all, this was very strong for Chen Xiyi, but for Lin Feng, it was likely just a casual strike.

After the Sword Realm was constructed, Lin Feng probably became rules and concepts themselves, equivalent to the heavenly law of a world. Creating such things was probably effortless for him.

“I have to say, Ao Lü’s life was truly extraordinary. Even though the fragmented memories made it disjointed, his skills were really impressive. He had already begun plotting his revival.”

The First God of Cuisine died, and Ao Lü, not entirely dead, was preparing to rise again, even aiming to go further.

From these fragmented memories, Chen Xiyi saw Ao Lü switch to cultivating the Path of Union and Joy, obtain the legacy of an ancient Union and Joy demon, inherit the Peach Blossom tradition, and step by step reach his current state.

“The Bloodline Descendant Rebirth Art not only allowed him to Revive among his descendants but also let him advance further.”

This spell was very powerful, considered one of the signature spells of that Union and Joy demon, but it also carried great risks.

First, he needed a certain number of his own descendants—at least 9,999 people. Then, he scattered his Primordial Spirit among them, nurturing it generation after generation until the shattered Primordial Spirit became whole again.

Finally, by merging into one, it not only allowed him to Revive but also enabled him to break through from the Great Ascension Stage to the Immortal level.

And by now, this had matured.

“This means there are only 9,999 Peach Blossom Luck Bloodline Bearers in total, but Ao Lü’s descendants must be more than that.”

“In that case, there must be a hidden contingency for his revival inside the Hidden Realm Cave Heaven.”

Chen Xiyi did not know what this contingency was. He did not know much about the Bloodline Descendant Rebirth Art or even the Peach Blossom demon’s legacy, as the memories were fragmented and incomplete.

Seeing the effects did not mean he saw the contents.

“However, my cloning technology actually managed to clone Ao Lü’s Primordial Spirit. From this, it seems Ao Lü focused not on quantity but on quality.”

Clearly, Ao Lü’s remnant soul had matured generation after generation among the bloodline bearers and had even fused into one. Even though his Primordial Spirit was relatively weak, it was complete.

Once merged into one, as long as the quality was high, he could Revive and become an Immortal beyond the Great Ascension Stage.

Unfortunately, in Ao Lü’s memories, there had been no news of anyone breaking through beyond the Great Ascension Stage in the Cultivation world for tens of thousands of years.

So, after he became an Immortal, he planned to return and exact vengeance.

As for what this vengeance was for, Chen Xiyi did not know. The memories did not mention it, but it must have been related to his switch to the Path of Union and Joy and the fall of the Qinghe River Dragon Palace.

Chen Xiyi had not found this part of the memory yet.

“With enough information, I have more room to maneuver.”

These Primordial Spirits did not possess uniqueness unless Ao Lü truly Revived. The contingency inside the Hidden Realm Cave Heaven was necessary. Otherwise, unless Chen Xiyi killed all of Ao Lü’s descendants, it would only be a temporary solution.

But the problem was that Chen Xiyi did not plan to do this. He intended to let Ao Lü fully Revive.

“These batch Primordial Spirits—whether using Clones or the original bodies—it’s all the same. It doesn’t make much difference anyway.”

Chen Xiyi looked at the Ao Lüs who had been suppressed into idiocy by the Subsystem and the removal of their frontal lobes. He felt that since the initiative was in his hands, it would be a waste not to seize the opportunity, considering all the effort Ao Lü had put in.

Regarding this, Chen Xiyi was certain that Ao Lü knew that due to the differences in the systems of the two worlds, the Supernatural Chefs could not detect his Primordial Spirit at all. They were even very unfamiliar with his Martial Way and Way of Immortality.

But to be honest, practicing the Martial Way seemed to be something all followers of the Path of Union and Joy had to do.

Of course, calling it the Martial Way was another way of saying body cultivation. Without sufficient physical strength, how would one handle battles in bed?

“The key point of the Bloodline Descendant Rebirth Art is the Primordial Spirit. This is an area I am familiar with.”

“Ao Lü could use the Supernatural Chefs’ unfamiliarity with the Xianxia system to achieve information superiority. Similarly, I could use Ao Lü’s unfamiliarity with the Qi Refiner system to gain the upper hand.”

Saying this, he began experiments on one of the already idiotic Ao Lü revival bodies.

“Based on the effects, it’s not just the Primordial Spirit that is recovered, but also the body. After all, at this point, it already counts as Ao Lü, just lacking the legacy and memories.”

“So, I need to prepare on both fronts—not only tamper with his Primordial Spirit but also his body.”

Currently, the System and frontal lobotomy could indeed suppress him, but that was only because he was relatively weak. Once he truly Revived, Chen Xiyi was not confident.

Even though he had the Sword Realm Projection that could instantly eliminate him, adhering to the principle of caution, he decided to set a trap.

He would take advantage as much as possible.

“Moreover, this is basically high-quality experimental material delivered to my doorstep. Even the Home Game acknowledged his True Dragon Royal Clan bloodline ability. This shows that while he had deficiencies in cultivation, there were absolutely no problems with his bloodline.”

“With the research on Qi Refiner bloodlines that Li Zhao sent me, it’s the perfect time to put it to use.”

Chen Xiyi was not a fool. Seeing such valuable experimental material about to expire, he had to use it quickly.

Otherwise, once Ao Lü truly achieved Soul Possession and Revived, these materials would change from unlimited supply to limited resources.

After Ao Lü Revived, he estimated that these methods would no longer work. Ao Lü would become a unique existence, and his Primordial Spirit and bloodline would converge accordingly.

By then, cloning would no longer be as simple as fusing dragon bloodline with a Clone at such low cost. Instead, it would require directly cloning Ao Lü himself, which would involve significantly higher costs.

In essence, what Chen Xiyi was doing now was making Ao Lü cover a large portion of the costs.

For example, the dragon bloodline—this was definitely key to Ao Lü’s contingency plan. The total amount was fixed; using one meant one less. The reproduction rate certainly could not keep up with Chen Xiyi’s consumption rate.

If the Primordial Spirit nurtured among the Peach Blossom Luck Bloodline Bearers determined Ao Lü’s level cap after Reviving, then these Dragon Vein Flora and Fauna determined how many levels Ao Lü could jump to at once after Reviving.

Revival definitely started from zero. However, with the Dragon Vein Flora and Fauna, he could skip the accumulation phase. How much he could skip depended on the amount of dragon bloodline generated by the Dragon Vein Flora and Fauna.

“Boss, the new goods have arrived. You can come and receive them.” The System transmitted Ling Hu’s report.

The goods naturally referred to those corpse-like dirty things.

Chen Xiyi had long returned to his Underground Shelter beneath the Graveyard in Yanzhou; he was no longer in Jingzhou.

In Jingzhou, Dongfang Wu was haggling with the Dragon Family.

That place did not hold much value. The real value lay in the Hidden Realm Cave Heaven. He had already dug an Underground Shelter and could teleport there anytime, completely avoiding the need to enter through the Immortal Peak passage.

Currently, those Dragon Vein animals had not emerged because the Time was not right yet. When the timing matured, the Cave Heaven restrictions would naturally lift.

“As usual, put them in and then you can leave. How is the insertion around the targets going?” Chen Xiyi did not stop his hands as he spoke.

“Across the 72 states of Qian Country, we have completed insertions for 7,962 people. It will take some time for the samples to come back. There are still a certain number of targets not completed yet. All members are working hard on it.” Ling Hu reported the numbers fluently.

Chen Xiyi calculated: based on 9,999 people, there were still 2,037 left, meaning about one-fifth remained unfinished.

“Complete it as soon as possible, and urge the various beauty models to provide sample feedback.” Chen Xiyi reminded.

Although Ao Lü’s contingency had not been activated yet, the problem was that Chen Xiyi did not know exactly when it would activate. If it activated before he collected everything, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

“Yes, I will have my people act quickly. Now that Qian Country is in your hands, Boss, I believe progress will be made soon.” In Ling Hu’s eyes, Chen Xiyi was too low-key. He could practically be called the uncrowned king of Qian Country.

Seventy-two states, seventy-two Hidden World Clans, including the Dragon Family, were now all under Chen Xiyi’s control.

Every member had taken the Secret Gu Martial Arts·Heaven Demon Divine Skill and became Gu Martial Artists. They also installed simple Subsystems for communication. It could be said that this was the only country not restrained by the Noble Families since the times of the First God of Cuisine and the First Emperor.

“Also, how is the collection of various knowledge and research results I requested earlier—mathematics, physics, chemistry, medicine, materials, biology, etc.?” Chen Xiyi asked another question.

These were treasures of the modern world. Chen Xiyi had obtained quite a lot through network intrusion before, but there were always omissions. This was a good opportunity to have them help copy and collect a set for checking and filling gaps.

“It’s already in progress. It should probably take about ten more days to get it to you.” Ling Hu said; he was also handling this matter.

“Very good, I understand.” Chen Xiyi ended the communication and stopped his work.

He wiped his hands and headed up to the Graveyard. He planned to collect and bury those dirty things that were delivered. Currently, his Sequence 2: Graveyard Keeper advancement progress had reached 1.6%. The more corpses buried in the Graveyard, the faster the progress rose.
