Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 330 - 313: Snake Emperor Bloodline

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu felt completely relieved.

It seemed Kong Zhen, Ya Bufan, and Yan Feihen truly weren’t trying to frame him.

This indeed was an excellent place for refining Lifebound Demon Soldiers.

After thinking it through, he took out the Small Tripod, drank three mouthfuls of Spirit Liquid, and then removed all the Profound Iron Blocks from his Storage Pouch, arranging them into a small house, leaving only one entrance.

"Oh? What a clever little bear, haha, this is indeed a way; my great-grandson never thought of this, too stupid!"

The demon soul of the Peacock Emperor cackled beside him, full of admiration.

But Wang Wu didn’t see it that way; perhaps the Left Demon Emperor didn’t do this because he didn’t have enough Profound Iron Blocks?

"Senior, I’m ready. Would you like to step aside?" Wang Wu asked loudly.

"No worries, no worries; I’m just a demon soul. What would I be afraid of? Although Essence of Gold Qi is terrifying, it can’t harm a demon soul. You should still be careful."

Receiving this response, Wang Wu wasted no more time. His Blood Qi surged, infusing his right front paw, then he gently scraped the ground. With just this small action, he felt danger emanate from all sides—more terrifying than facing the Feathered Flying Knives of the Crane Race!

Without a word, Wang Wu retreated back into the Profound Iron House.

Almost simultaneously, the entire massive cave echoed with wailing sounds.

The cave, originally dim, suddenly became extremely bright. A golden mist appeared like the rising sun, spreading everywhere and continuously transforming and merging. Initially, it was a small scale collision, but in the blink of an eye, it transformed into hundreds of golden Refined Gold Sword Qi-like entities, chaotically flying and slashing wildly.

This triggered the appearance of more Essence of Gold Qi, forming more Refined Gold Sword Qi, like a snowball rolling.

In less than a few seconds, the giant cave was filled with over a hundred thousand Refined Gold Sword Qi, recklessly crashing and rampaging, scaring Wang Wu pale.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that Kong Zhen and the others really might be trying to murder him!

Because if he didn’t have enough Profound Iron Blocks this time, he really wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Absolutely wouldn’t withstand it.

Because there was too much Refined Gold Sword Qi, each capable of disrupting his Qi Blood circulation.

Who the hell could withstand that!

"However, since only a First Grade can enter here, maybe they weren’t aware of such a specific situation."

Wang Wu stopped pursuing the matter further, choosing to stay within the Profound Iron House, relying on it to withstand the onslaught of Refined Gold Sword Qi, while positioning his right front paw at the entrance, allowing the Refined Gold Sword Qi to slash and assault it.

Indeed, this was the perfect place for refining.

"Wait, I can refine both paws simultaneously."

Wang Wu immediately extended both his front paws to the entrance. The refining of his left front paw had just started, so upon extending it, it was immediately torn open, flesh mangled, with even the bones on the verge of being severed.

But he couldn’t use Divine Techniques or the Ice and Fire Shield for defense. At this point, his long-unused Healing Talent finally came into play.

The effects of Level 17 Self-Healing when fully activated were quite formidable.

While one side was being torn, the other was healing, as long as the Blood Qi was sufficient, allowing him to keep going effortlessly!

Moreover, the refining speed was fast.

In less than three minutes, he’d reached Celestial Ninth Grade, then moved on to Celestial Eighth Grade, Celestial Seventh Grade...

Then, Wang Wu finally began to struggle.

He had already drunk twenty-one mouthfuls of Spirit Liquid.

The Healing Talent entered a fatigued cooldown phase, yet his right front paw remained unrefined at Celestial Fifth Grade, seemingly missing a key component.

"Oh? You actually want to refine a Celestial Fifth Grade Lifebound Demon Soldier? You’re on the wrong path. Besides, you must know that once you complete the Celestial Fifth Grade Demon Soldier refining, there’s a high chance the Celestial Tribulation will come looking for you!"

"Excuse me, senior, what do you mean by that?"

Wang Wu’s heart skipped a beat, was he about to hit the ceiling?

"Do you know how my physical body was destroyed? It was because after refining a Celestial Fifth Grade Lifebound Demon Soldier, I sensed the Celestial Tribulation’s lock. While traversing with Demon-Controlling Wind outside, I constantly felt clouds gathering, constantly felt the heavenly thunder about to strike—"

"At that time, I was even secretly delighted, thinking my strength was about to catch up with the Snake Emperor. For this, I specifically sought an audience with the Snake Emperor, but it refused to see me, only sending me three words, ’Endure the Three Calamities!’"

"Then, I thought I should first adapt to the Three Calamities, so I went to the Shaman Village in the Evil Wind Desert. That Evil Wind is truly strange. After several attempts, I realized something was off because I felt that if I could adapt to the point where I no longer feared the Evil Wind, I would have to expend all of my remaining 3,000 years of longevity there, which was something I could not tolerate."

"So, I went searching for the legendary Yin Fire... Alas, as you can probably guess, I did find the Yin Fire, but I couldn’t withstand it. It also requires longevity to resist it!"

"The Evil Wind Bone Plague only consumes three years of longevity once infected, but with the Yin Fire, once touched, there’s no end to it."

"Thus, I had no option but to escape back to the South Wilderness with all my might, arranged my affairs, and hid here. I was directly burned by that mass of Yin Fire until my longevity was exhausted, leaving only my Demon Soul to drift helplessly here. Hmm, be cautious not to go to the northeast corner, that mass of Yin Fire is still lurking there, and if you get within ten steps, it will surely be activated. Just think, back then, even my 3,000 years of longevity couldn’t withstand the consumption."

After hearing these words, Wang Wu felt both shocked and delighted. Shocked because if he could handle a mass of Yin Fire that consumed 3,000 years of the Peacock Emperor’s longevity, could he manage with his current 4,000 years?

Delighted because the feeling of not having to pave the way himself was truly wonderful.

"Therefore, I advise you, the Celestial Sixth Grade Lifebound Demon Soldiers are actually sufficient, no need to rush into refining them. First, enhance other aspects, proceed step by step to cultivate to First Grade, accumulate at least 5,000 years of longevity, then start adapting to the Three Calamities. Afterwards, proceed to refine the Celestial Fifth Grade Lifebound Demon Soldiers, otherwise, I would serve as your cautionary tale."

"Thank you for the guidance, senior. Junior has one question: did that mass of Yin Fire undergo any change after consuming your 3,000 years of longevity?"

"Naturally, there were changes. Actually, if back then I had even 300 more years of longevity, I might have endured through that disaster. But unfortunately, I wasn’t properly prepared, and that old rascal, the Snake Emperor, didn’t inform me. Ah, kid, in the future, never assume the Snake Emperor is the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts and trust him unconditionally. That old rascal, looking back now, it was definitely up to no good!"

"Sigh, I’ve told my great-grandson many times, not sure if it listened. By the way, what’s the situation outside now? Calculating, my great-grandson should be about coming again. When you two join forces, it should be easier."

"Reporting to the senior, not long ago, the Left Demon Emperor led the Southern Wilderness Demon Race, joined forces with the South Sea and West Sea Demon Race, and successfully captured Wushui City, achieving a great victory!"

Wang Wu chose a good piece of news, since the Peacock Emperor couldn’t really affect much here, it wouldn’t hurt to make it a bit happier.

Respecting the elderly and cherishing the young, you know!

He’s always been kind-hearted.

Who would have thought the Peacock Emperor, after hearing this, immediately burst out cursing,

"Captured Wushui City? Damn! That foolish little bastard, was this on the Snake Emperor’s orders?"

"Uh, the senior guessed correctly, it indeed was on the Snake Emperor’s orders."

"Which means it’s being besieged by the Immortal Alliance again, isn’t it?"

"Yes, how did you guess that, senior?" Wang Wu was stunned, the Peacock Emperor’s judgment of the situation was just genius.

"It’s nothing new, it’s happened before. Do you know how that foolish bear Xiong Pi died? It was by following the Snake Emperor’s orders to attack Yun Ding City. In the end, Yun Ding wasn’t captured, and it was trapped itself. I initially planned to save it, and for that, refined the Celestial Fifth Grade Lifebound Demon Soldiers, but failed to rescue it and ended up getting embroiled in it myself. It held on for 800 years, but still ended up dead."

"We are all carrying the tribulations for the Snake Emperor."

"Little bear, be cautious. Xiong Pi married the Snake Emperor’s daughter, and you have the Snake Emperor’s bloodline flowing in you. That old rascal survived from the last glorious era of the Dragon Race until now, an ancient monster who knows no telling how many Secret Technique Divine Techniques. Who knows, it might even influence you subtly through the connection of your bloodline. But of course, if your Ancient Blood Purity is higher, you might be able to influence it in return too."

"This is all I’ll say; whether you believe it or not is up to you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu truly broke out in a cold sweat because it’s indeed possible.

After all, one of the six major talents of the Bear Race is Danger Perception, inherited from the Snake Race, and past three instances of danger perception that led to his gut instincts could very well have been influenced by the Snake Emperor.

"Wait a minute! But it doesn’t make sense. If the Snake Emperor can influence me through Bloodline Divine Techniques, then why did it risk exposing itself to buy me time that day at Moonfall Lake? Could it be that the Snake Emperor is benevolent?"

In Wang Wu’s mind flashed an image of a kind-looking, amicable old man with a white beard...

Alright, this is probably a confusing matter.

Unless the Snake Emperor is found to verify personally, there’s no way to ascertain who is truly influencing whom?

Anyway, up until now, Wang Wu hasn’t suffered, right? Has he suffered?

Of course, one can’t dismiss the possibility that the Snake Emperor is playing a big chess game...

Therefore, he must find ways to enhance his Bloodline Evolution Level, and he can only achieve it through dealing with the Three Calamities.

"So now with my 4,000+ years of longevity, can I withstand it?"

Thinking this, Wang Wu didn’t ask more, and the Peacock Emperor’s Demon Soul also remained silent.

Next, he activated the Inner Breathing Technique, circulating Blood Qi to counteract and alleviate physical fatigue, successfully recovering in less than six hours.

Then, he chugged down three large swigs of Spirit Liquid and quietly continued refining his Lifebound Demon Soldiers. Although the Peacock Emperor mentioned that the Celestial Fifth Grade Lifebound Demon Soldiers would attract Celestial Tribulations, realistically, Wang Wu didn’t have a choice. Without absorbing the rich Essence of Gold Qi here, the Teleportation Array wouldn’t be activated, and he couldn’t return, let alone think of leaving the Profound Iron House to try capturing that mass of Yin Fire.

However, what annoyed Wang Wu was that after all his efforts and drinking twenty-one mouthfuls of Spirit Liquid, while successfully refining his left front claw to Celestial Sixth Grade, his right front claw showed no signs of advancing. It means that he lacked some crucial element, making it impossible to refine Celestial Sixth Grade to Celestial Fifth Grade.

Even this time, the Peacock Emperor didn’t utter a word.
