Chapter 613
Li Fan suspended a jar of blood in midair and crushed it with a flick of his fingers.
The fierce aura of Kunpeng essence blood gushed out, writhing as if alive, inching outward with an unsettling vitality.
With a wave of his hand, Li Fan encapsulated the blood within the boundaries of his cave heaven domain and began to analyze and comprehend its properties carefully.
The purpose of this study was clear: to replicate the three divine abilities that Ye Feipeng had demonstrated in his previous life—Kun Devour, Peng Flight, and Bloodline Transmission.
Among these, Kun Devour had become almost irrelevant to Li Fan since he acquired the Five Elements Cave Heaven. Peng Flight, however, offered a form of escape technique worth adapting.
The most critical ability, and the one Li Fan urgently sought to master, was undoubtedly Bloodline Transmission.
This ancient beast-originated technique allowed the wielder to imbue their own essence blood into others, subtly influencing and eventually altering their thoughts.
Over time, this transformation would turn the recipient into a loyal subordinate who would unwaveringly serve the master of the essence blood.
In his previous life, Ye Feipeng, who initially loathed his demonic beast bloodline, had eventually grown proud of his Kunpeng heritage. His disdainful term “demonic beast” had gradually morphed into the reverent “sacred beast.”
Such a technique was ideal for controlling the disciples of the Medicine King Sect and others.
For now, Li Fan had managed to temporarily subdue individuals like He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan through coercion and persuasion. But managing a large number of people this way posed significant risks.
The disciples of the Medicine King Sect, who were familiar with each other, would be even harder to control without direct measures. Li Fan needed them primarily for refining pills and occasionally as combatants. Watching them constantly wasn’t feasible.
Without a method to enforce his control, he couldn’t fully trust them.
Thus, mastering ‘Bloodline Transmission’ became a necessity.
Under his meticulous observation, every particle of Kunpeng essence blood seemed to possess its own consciousness, emitting sharp, unsettling cries that made Li Fan frown.
Extracting a single droplet, he absorbed it into his body through his fingertip, closely monitoring how it transformed his physical being.
As soon as the Kunpeng essence blood made contact with his flesh, the sharp sounds abruptly ceased.
The blood became eerily silent as tiny tendrils extended deep into his tissues, anchoring themselves like parasites.
Scarlet flashes of light pulsed along the tendrils, siphoning energy from his flesh into the essence blood.
Moments later, the essence blood began to bubble as though boiling, undergoing a self-evolution.
In no time, it mimicked Li Fan’s own flesh so precisely that even he, the host, could barely discern the difference without close scrutiny.
Despite completing its transformation, the Kunpeng blood didn’t release its grip. Instead, it transmitted streams of dark red energy back into the attached flesh, initiating an enigmatic transformation.
To Li Fan’s astonishment, the altered tissues sprouted their own tendrils, attacking adjacent unaltered flesh like predators.
“So, this is homomorphic evolution...”
Seven days later.
After yet another failure, Li Fan paused for a moment.
“I’ve been too hasty,” he reflected.
“Expanding too quickly triggers the body’s natural backlash.”
...
“If I treat the target cultivator as a complete world, then my drop of essence blood is equivalent to a cultivator practicing the new path of cultivation.”
“I may not possess the Kunpeng divine abilities, but surely I can progress step by step.”
Suddenly, Li Fan seemed to have an epiphany.
This experiment was notably longer than the previous ones.
Li Fan also exhausted a great deal of mental energy.
However, the results were gratifying.
The "lucky subject" remained entirely unaware of the changes happening within their body, sleeping soundly and peacefully.
Yet Li Fan could sense a subtle, wondrous connection between himself and the subject.
It wasn’t as controllable as a clone, which could act as an extension of one’s limbs.
Instead, he could clearly perceive the state of the subject’s body and even vaguely sense fleeting thoughts crossing their mind.
Li Fan glanced at the system panel.
Sure enough, a new divine ability called "Bloodline Transmission" had appeared on the list.
Strangely, Li Fan did not seem particularly excited.
During the process of comprehending Bloodline Transmission, he had faintly sensed certain truths.
He recalled a fleeting inspiration he had experienced before—a revelation that had been forcibly erased from his memory.
If the "lucky subject" before him were to represent the Xuanhuang Realm,
And the cultivators of the new path of cultivation were the "mutated essence blood" subtly transforming the Xuanhuang Realm,
Then...
What role does the fabled Immortal Ancestor play in all of this?@@@@
