Chapter 292 Bone Marrow Transference.
Blood Demon Clan territory…
Yang Wei looked at all the clan members who had passed the little test he gave them.
He nodded with approval and said, "I had to test you all because I need to know which of you are strong enough for the next stage of my plan today."
All the clan members stared at Yang Wei in confusion.
He knew he owed them a clearer explanation before doing anything else. With a small sigh, he opened his mouth and explained, "As of yesterday, my connection to the ancient Blood Emperor allowed me to awaken an Origin Dao treasure known as the Bone Marrow of Ten Thousand Fangs."
There was an uproar.
"Wow! The Grand Elder really impresses us every time!"
"You'd think we'd be used to his feats by now, but he always surprises us!"
"That's right. He really is the best cultivator in the Lower Regions. Awakening an Origin Dao treasure linked to the ancient Blood Emperor's fate is no small feat!"
"And we can't forget about his celestial gold core either!"
When the Grand Elder did things like this, it always reminded everyone how great a cultivator he was. The fact that he was deeply connected to the fate of the ancient Blood Emperor made them feel like they would soon become a household name in the cultivation world once more.
Sun Yurong was just as surprised as the clan members next to her. However, even with all that, she didn't shout like them.
He already awakened an Origin Dao treasure? I know he has a celestial gold core, so it's not surprising, but many Nascent Soul Daoist masters can't even dream of doing that so easily. At this point, it's not an exaggeration to say he's a better blood Qi cultivator than me. If he's intrinsically connected to the Blood Emperor, then without a doubt, he stands at the pinnacle of blood Qi cultivation.
She simply watched Yang Wei in silence.
With a small raise of his hand, Yang Wei managed to silence the crowd of blood cultivators so he could continue uninterrupted.
"When one has reached an advanced stage of cultivation, they can refine their physical essence to its peak. This includes the marrow, which is considered the core of physical strength, vitality, and spiritual essence.
Through deep meditation, consuming rare pills, and practicing profound techniques, one can purify and condense their marrow into a potent, almost magical substance, imbued with their life force and spiritual energy."
The blood cultivators nodded plainly.
This was basic knowledge to them, but they were sure Yang Wei had a reason for telling them this, so they didn't get ahead of themselves.
"I know you're still a little confused, but don't worry, it'll make sense in a few seconds."
With that, Yang Wei held out a hand and started to focus his spiritual energy by entering a small meditative state.
The marrow wasn't just physical; it contained his spiritual imprint and essence, making it a unique and powerful substance capable of transferring abilities and influence.
The energy integration was simple. His refined marrow was saturated with his life force energy, spiritual power, and elements of his will and consciousness… essentially, the Blood Emperor's will and consciousness.
The Crimson Dragon Immortal Art was a powerful technique that helped Yang Wei refine his celestial blood Qi to near-perfection.
He used that same specialized technique to extract the essence of his refined marrow. This wasn't a simple physical extraction; it involved channeling his Qi (vital energy) to draw out the marrow's essence. This essence was a concentrated form of his life force and spiritual energy, appearing as a luminous, viscous substance that could be manipulated at will.
"What is that…?" a random clan member asked.
Patriarch Bloodflame, watching every single movement of Yang Wei, simply said, "It's the Blood Emperor's gift to us."
The clan member was confused, but he was certain that their clan would rise in relevance after this.
"Alright, brace yourselves."
Then, Yang Wei multiplied the number of viscous spheres until they equaled the number of blood cultivators before him.
These spheres glowed with a bright redness, showing the potency of their essence.
Yang Wei performed a hand seal, and the essences flew straight for the clan members and Sun Yurong.
These essences infused themselves into the blood cultivators' bones, merging with their marrow.
It would temporarily alter their physical and spiritual constitution, granting them enhanced strength, speed, resilience, and rapid healing abilities!
The clan members, including Sun Yurong, began to feel a surge of immense power within them. Their bodies tingled with aching sensations, yet it seemed as if the energies of heaven and earth were converging inside them, transforming them.
Blood is the very essence that forms the foundation of our physical bodies. It originates from the primal forces that empower our mortal shells!
Their eyes glowed like red lanterns, and their hair stood on end, reaching toward the skies.
The blood Qi in the area grew denser with each passing moment, so intense that it felt like the very rocks of the Blood Demon Clan's territory might crumble.
"Well done," Yang Wei said.
He raised his hand and effortlessly halted their blood Qi cultivation.
This singular action astonished them all.
The blood cultivators started examining themselves, wondering if something had gone wrong with the marrow transference.
In truth, it was a resounding success. The bone marrow transference had incredibly high compatibility with all the blood cultivators who received it. Now, they were so closely tied to Yang Wei that they felt like mere tools in the palm of his hand. With a single thought, or a mere flicker of his will, he could suppress their blood cultivation as easily as a mountain crushing a pebble! Discover hidden content at empire
A smile appeared on Yang Wei's lips. He adjusted his robes and cleared his throat loudly to gather attention before settling his hands behind him.
"Let me clarify a few things. The most cunning part of this technique is its ability to subjugate even the strongest cultivators. The refined marrow essence carries a trace of the Blood Emperor's will and Qi imprint. Once infused, it forms an subtle yet unbreakable link between all of you and me. Through this connection, I can easily exert control over you when necessary, binding you to my will."
The blood cultivators didn't see this as a problem. Only those who doubted their loyalty to Yang Wei would take offense. Their goal was simple: to grow stronger and reclaim the glory left by their ancestors. Without hesitation, they all dropped to their knees and kowtowed before Yang Wei.
"All hail the Grand Elder! All hail the Fate Defying Excellence! All hail the Blood Emperor's Successor! All hail Arch-Patriarch Yang!"
If Bloodflame was the clan's patriarch, Yang Wei, now in a higher position, would be the Arch-Patriarch.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Yang Wei sighed softly, a gentle smile forming on his tender face.
"With my marrow comes two ancestral bloodlines. You've inherited both the Blood Emperor's lineage and my Crimson Dragon celestial lineage. As you cultivate and approach my level, you may awaken even more ancestral bloodlines within you. The Crimson Dragon celestial lineage gives you a natural affinity for the Crimson Dragon Immortal Art. Use it to cultivate blood Qi and refine your marrow to its peak.
Understand?"
"All of us understand, Grand Elder!" the clan members shouted in unison.
With a nod, Yang Wei dismissed them.
Immediately after, he lowered himself to the ground and approached Sun Yurong, who looked at him with an expression that bordered on curiosity and confusion.
Yang Wei smiled at her, and to his surprise, she smiled back.
Shrugging slightly, Sun Yurong remarked, "I always knew you'd surpass me in blood Qi cultivation someday. I just didn't expect it to be so soon."
Yang Wei chuckled. "Well, I do have an advantage over you when it comes to alchemy."
Sun Yurong sighed. "True enough. I've never enjoyed refining pills; it's too stressful for an old lady like me."
"You're still as beautiful as ever though…" Yang Wei said.
Sun Yurong gave him a small, charming side-eye. "Flattery will get you everywhere."
"I hoped so."
"Oh~?" a slightly interested look appeared on Sun Yurong's attractive face.
Yang Wei moved closer to Sun Yurong.
She instinctively followed suit, swept up in the moment. She touched her ruby-colored lips with her thumb and gently pressed against them as she asked, "Now that I have your essence boiling inside me, doesn't that bring us closer?"
Yang Wei nodded, slightly taken aback by her sudden shift in mood.
She then placed her hand on his chest and said, "I hope you don't plan on treating me like just another clan member. I should be treated more specially, right~?" Her voice was sweet as honey.
"I suppose so. But you make it sound like I'm obligated to please you... I'm not your husband, remember?" Yang Wei chuckled softly.
Sun Yurong sensually ran her slender hand up his chest and drew even nearer to him. "You wish~" she whispered seductively.
"Really? But I am a married man, you know?" Yang Wei teased.
"And?" Sun Yurong whispered back.
Her delectable lips went closer to his own.
"GRAND ELDEEEEEERRR!"
Their moment was interrupted by Patriarch Bloodflame, who appeared out of nowhere, shouting and waving his hands frantically. Sun Yurong shifted her attention to the elderly man who had wedged himself between them and now hugged Yang Wei tightly, displaying a childlike affection.
"I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, GRAND ELDER!"
Patriarch Bloodflame cried into Yang Wei's shoulder.
Yang Wei frowned and glanced at Sun Yurong, who chuckled at the unexpected scene unfolding before them.
"Ah, I love you too..." Yang Wei responded with a sigh, his eyes half-closed and weary.
