“These are Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystals?” Yi Xiao looked at the floating purple blood crystal suffusing a luster before her. It appeared to be the most dazzling existence in the world as it caused her dragon bloodline to boil over.

This was the blood crystal of the ancestor of all dragons in the Three Realms.

“It’s a blood crystal that was produced at the cost of damaging his core,” said Qin Yun. “If consumed by a Skydragon, it will rejuvenate them. One’s talent would then be comparable to the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon, giving them the strength of a half-step mighty figure. Xiaoxiao, you are now at the Skydragon realm, so it’s most suitable for you to consume them. Quickly consume it.”

Qin Yun looked at his wife with anticipation.

“Since it’s so valuable, I think it’s best we choose someone from the younger generation with extremely high talent. My talent can only be considered ordinary.” Despite being Qin Yun’s wife, Yi Xiao still found the Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystal too precious.

“In order to exchange for a wisp of the bloodline powers of another universe expert, the Ancestral Dragon paid the price of three Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystals and a promise,” said Qin Yun with a smile. “After you consume one, our Qin family will still have two left. In the future, they can be given to excellent juniors of the Qin family. Hurry, don’t hesitate any longer.”

Upon hearing that there were three and under the urging of her husband, Yi Xiao no longer hesitated to reach out and put the purple blood crystal gently into her mouth.

The moment it entered her mouth, it slipped into her stomach as the Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystal rapidly melted into her body.

“Hmph!”

Yi Xiao could not help but let out a grunt.

Then, her skin turned translucent as they rapidly flushed red. The surrounding temperature rose as a result.

Yi Xiao’s facial skin began to suffuse snow-white dragon scales as she could not help but turn into a dragon. In front of her husband, she typically maintained her human form.

“Whoosh—”

A snow-white dragon appeared. After the Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystals fused into her bloodline, her dragon scales became even more beautiful. Each dragon scale appeared to be a rare treasure as they swirled with a luster and contained Dao charms within. She had also become bigger in size.

The gigantic snow-white dragon wound itself in the back mountains of Mt. Lightning Roar while enduring the pain of being rejuvenated. Qin Yun watched anxiously from the side and gradually, a frosty aura descended, causing snowflakes to flutter. Following that, lightning bolts sparked in the surrounding void, some lingering around the dragon, others fusing right into the snow-white dragon’s body.

This process lasted for three days.

Yi Xiao’s aura also became a lot stronger.

Her snow-white dragon body shrank as she returned to her human form.

“Brother Yun.” Yi Xiao’s aura had changed, turning colder with some suppressive might. That was a dragon’s might! After all, she had absorbed the Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystal and her talent now rivaled that of his sons. Having just broken through, Yi Xiao was unable to fully hold down her suppressive might.

“How does it feel?” asked Qin Yun.

“Magical.” Yi Xiao nodded. “Just from consuming the Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystal, I naturally gained insight into many Great Dao charms from my bloodline after the rejuvenation. I even naturally learned some divine powers.”

“This is talent,” said Qin Yun with a laugh. “Those Chaos Godfiends were born powerful. The Ancestral Dragon’s nine sons were born with various divine powers as well. Now that you have internalized one Ancestral Dragon Blood Crystal, you are in the same situation. You can naturally grasp more mystical charms and divine powers.”

Yi Xiao looked forward to what followed. “I feel that as long as I stabilize what I have and properly cultivate the divine powers stored within my bloodline, I would be able to reach the strength of a half-step mighty figure after consolidating my strength. However… to become a mighty figure will still be difficult.”

“Your talent has been raised significantly. Cultivate well and in thousands of years, maybe more, you might be able to become a mighty figure. Although there are a few of the Ancestral Dragon’s nine sons who remain stuck at the Skydragon realm, many of them had become mighty figures,” said Qin Yun.

Yi Xiao laughed. “I never expected myself to possess such strength.”

“How many of the wives and children of those lords of Great Worlds are weak?” Qin Yun laughed. “We can only be considered normal.”

For instance, the Heavenly Courts’ Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li’s few sons.

Or Yang Jian’s family and relatives…

Similar situations in the Three Realms were common.

As a half-step Heavenly Dao realm existence, Qin Yun could benefit his family despite being an Itinerant Immortal. His family was also considered a top immortal family clan. However, even if Qin Yun spared no expense to nurture them, all he could was nurture a few. For example, even people like the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure and Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning could only focus on a dozen or so disciples.

The third and fourth generation disciples of Jade Void Palace received much more inferior resources.

There were too many disciples in Green Touring Palace; therefore, disciples beneath that of mighty figures received only mediocre resources.

…

Qin household. Treasure Pavilion.

Qin Yun and Yi Xiao entered together and hid six jade bottles within.

“I received a total of ten wisps of bloodline powers. One of them had been sacrificed to the Three Realms,” said Qin Yun. “One was given to Master and another to the Ancestral Dragon. I will be bringing one with me to study it. The remaining six can be considered a cornerstone treasure of our Qin family. If I were to fail to transcend the tribulations, Xiaoxiao, you use these to seek help from half-step Heavenly Dao realm beings.”

“Brother Yun, you will definitely succeed at transcending the tribulations,” said Yi Xiao immediately.

“I’m just saying.” Qin Yun chuckled.

These were parts of his plan.

There was nothing he could do. He had completely offended the fiends, so if he did not make sufficient preparations for his family, the Qin family would be wiped out the moment he perished from the tribulations.

“Rumble~”

Qin Yun and Yi Xiao left Treasure Pavilion as heavy doors closed behind them.

******

Be it Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor or Ancestral Dragon, the existence of the bloodline powers was kept secret.

Qin Yun spent the following days in peace.

He began a long period of seclusive cultivation.

Apart from spending 99% of the time cultivating… the remaining was spent to occasionally give pointers to the juniors and accompany his wife to enjoy delicacies in the Three Realms.

Time passed…

Two thousand plus years had passed since Qin Yun returned from the spatial tide.

“Brother.”

Qin Yiyi and Meng Huan were playing chess. Despite them cultivating in the same Sword Dao, their chess-playing styles were different. Qin Yiyi was a lot sharper and unrestrained, while Meng Huan was more ingenious.

As a carnage developed on the chess board, Qin Yiyi said, “Brother, Dad will likely be having his eleventh Itinerant Immortal tribulation soon, right?”

“Yes.” Meng Huan’s eyes suffused a look of anxiety as he nodded. “It should be one of these two days. The eleventh Itinerant Immortal tribulation… is said to be extremely powerful .One has to have the strength of a perfected Great Dao to survive it.”

Qin Yiyi said, “Dad already has strength at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm. He will naturally be able to transcend it easily.”

“Yes, but the next one is the twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation,” said Meng Huan.

“There’s only a thousand years left,” Qin Yiyi replied softly.

A thousand years.

To the Three Realms, that was an extremely short period of time. Even for those at Qin Yiyi’s level, their cultivation seclusions could easily take more than a thousand years.

And a thousand years later, their father, the person who frightened the fiends into sealing the Great Worlds, the number one sword immortal of the Three Realms… one of the few half-step Heavenly Dao realm existences in the Three Realms, Sword Immortal Qin, was about to face the twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation.

According to what was known…

The ninth Itinerant Immortal tribulation required the strength of a mighty figure.

The tenth Itinerant Immortal tribulation required the strength of a pinnacle mighty figure.

The eleventh Itinerant Immortal tribulation required the strength of a perfected Great Dao.

Many experts in the Three Realms speculated that the twelfth tribulation very likely needed the strength of a Heavenly Dao realm.

Could Qin Yun survive it?

Even though he was peerless and stunning, no one was certain. Even the Dao Ancestors were unsure if Qin Yun could survive it.

“Rumble~”

A door opened in the distance.

“Dad is out.” Qin Yiyi and Meng Huan immediately put down their chess pieces and rushed over to greet him.
