Chu Nan was completely dumbfounded looking at Feng Jiming. He didn't expect this old guy to be watching him the whole time.

He couldn't help but take a step back, his eyes filled with both excitement and a hint of caution. For a moment, Chu Nan couldn't judge whether Feng Jiming meant good or ill toward him.

Feng Chen and others exchanged looks, unable to understand why Feng Jiming treated Chu Nan so specially.

With the help of a few people, Feng Wu struggled to stand up and looked at Chu Nan with a complex expression.

Although the final blow to the Fire Qilin Dragon wasn't dealt by Chu Nan, anyone could tell that his strength surpassed that of the Fire Qilin Dragon.

Seeing Chu Nan's cautious expression, Feng Jiming chuckled lightly and beckoned to retrieve his bamboo staff.

Then he said, "Rest assured, I bear you no malice."

The cautious look on Chu Nan's face didn't fade but rather he questioned, "Why are you doing all this, what exactly is your aim?"

Feng Jiming shook his head without answering, then looked toward the corpse of the Fire Qilin Dragon and said, "From now on, this Fire Qilin Dragon is yours. I'll give you three days, after which you can come find me."

With that, Feng Jiming glanced at Feng Chen and the others before leaving with them, leaving Chu Nan standing there, somewhat confused.

"What is this old guy up to?" Chu Nan was puzzled, but his gaze soon fell upon the body of the Fire Qilin Dragon.

"Never mind, I'll absorb the Ancestral Bloodline of the Fire Qilin Dragon first."

Bang!

Lifting the corpse of the Fire Qilin Dragon, Chu Nan did not return to his room, but instead left Feng Family Manor, finding a natural cave in the surrounding mountains and took the dragon beast's corpse inside.

After hiding the entrance well, Chu Nan immediately sat cross-legged in meditation, activating the Nine Desolate Profound Transformation Sutra.

The Nine Desolate Profound Transformation Sutra is a Celestial Tier supreme cultivation technique, but its limits go far beyond Celestial Tier; as long as Ancestral Bloodlines are continuously absorbed, the power of this cultivation technique can be endlessly increased.

Buzz～

A buzzing sound echoed inside the cave, Chu Nan's body seemed to transform into a massive vortex, crazily devouring the blood essence of the Fire Qilin Dragon.

The Fire Qilin Dragon also began to wither at a visible speed, yet Chu Nan's aura grew ever more vigorous.

An hour later, accompanied by a booming sound within his body, Chu Nan's cultivation successfully broke through to the sixth tier of the Yang Wheel, and an even stronger attraction surged toward the Fire Qilin Dragon's body.

At this very moment, a fist-thick force of crimson bloodline shot into Chu Nan's body, causing him to inadvertently reveal a look of pain.

"A fire attribute Ancestral Bloodline, I found it!"

This Ancestral Bloodline was extremely violent, seemingly containing the consciousness of the Fire Qilin Dragon, rampaging throughout Chu Nan's Dantian.

Excited, Chu Nan fully activated the Nine Desolate Profound Transformation Sutra to suppress the power of the Ancestral Bloodline.

As the cultivation technique's operation intensified, the Ancestral Bloodline calmed down gradually like a mouse encountering a cat.

Finally, this force dissipated, starting from the Dantian, integrating into every inch of Chu Nan's flesh.

"Succeeded!"

At the moment the Ancestral Bloodline was tamed, Chu Nan felt his consciousness suddenly plunge, with boundless flames appearing beneath him.

His soul was being scorched by endless flames, seeming as if it might turn to ashes the next moment.

"Ah!" Chu Nan couldn't help but let out a painful howl.

Just then, a series of giant footsteps resounded in his ears. Chu Nan turned toward the sound and couldn't help but tense up.

Before his eyes, a towering red Qilin walked on fire clouds, striding proudly amidst the flames, causing the fire below to bow as if it were the emperor of flames, controlling all fires in the world with a single thought.

As Chu Nan was fully immersed in the shock that this red Qilin brought, the Qilin suddenly spewed out a torrential blaze.

This blaze burned the space, annihilated the void, making it seem as though nothing in the world could survive under this flame.

Whoosh!

Chu Nan was instantly engulfed, and at the last moment of his consciousness lingering here, he felt himself turning to ashes.

Regaining awareness in his own body, Chu Nan shuddered, realizing that his sweat had soaked through his clothes.

"What was that, it was terrifying." Chu Nan exclaimed.

Kui Guang then revealed himself and said, "What you saw was the inheritance memory of an Ancestral being. The Ancestral Bloodline of the Fire Qilin Dragon is quite rich, so it was more comprehensible than when absorbing the Master Bloodline of the Thunder Tiger."

"Now that you have mastered the Ancestral Bloodline, try using Desolate Profound Transformation with your new abilities."

"Alright, Sword Venerable Master." Chu Nan nodded, immediately activating Desolate Profound Transformation inside the cave.

This time, Chu Nan's height didn't change much, but his appearance was entirely different.

Although his eyes were still the previous golden vertical pupils, and his face somewhat resembled a tiger, his entire body was covered with dark red scale armor.

His limbs became sharper, and with a casual thrust, his fingers pierced into the rock beside him.

Most peculiarly, a sturdy tail covered with scales grew from Chu Nan's back, as flexible as using an arm.

With a thought, the tail whipped like a lash, instantly shattering the cave and the rocks.

"Such terrifying power!" Chu Nan was secretly astonished. After absorbing two types of Ancestral Bloodlines, his state after Desolate Profound Transformation was multiple times stronger than before!

Kui Guang was very satisfied with this display, but still said, "You should have inherited Martial Skills from the Ancestral Bloodline, show what you've got."

With a determined look, Chu Nan gazed towards the depths of the cave, then with a wave of his hand, a boundless sea of flames was instantly unleashed.

Crimson flames turned into a massive torrent, rushing toward the distance with overwhelming force, turning everything into ashes in its wake, even causing the rocks to glow red, as if about to melt the next moment.

"Sword Venerable Master, this is my newly acquired Martial Skill, Celestial Fire Torrent. Its power surpasses even the Heaven-Shocking Thunder Spear and covers a vast area."

Chu Nan was also quite surprised by the power of Celestial Fire Torrent judging from its current performance.

He felt that at his current six-tier Yang Wheel state, under Desolate Profound Transformation, he could hardly be challenged by even regular nine-tier Yang Wheel opponents.

"If I encounter a Martial Artist of Zhang Mingxuan's level, I could slay them with this Celestial Fire Torrent!"

The enhancement in strength gave Chu Nan great confidence. He used Spiritual Power to dissipate the grime on his body and changed into new clothes.

Though Desolate Profound Transformation is strong, it has obvious drawbacks.

Every time Desolate Profound Transformation is used, it requires a change of clothes, which is quite troublesome, but this is the price of gaining immense power.

"Feng Jiming, it's time to pay him a visit."

After preparing everything, Chu Nan uncovered the cave's entrance and found that it was still night. Looking at the time, he realized exactly three days had passed.

This made his heart tremble with surprise: "Feng Jiming seems to know me quite well."

Since meeting Feng Jiming up to now, numerous clues suggested that this guy had many secrets, and he might truly hold the answers he sought.

Walking through Feng Family Manor, he found the houses destroyed by the Fire Qilin Dragon had already been rebuilt, and at this hour, nearly everyone was asleep.

Arriving at where Feng Jiming resided, Chu Nan discovered the door wide open, as if specifically waiting for his arrival.
