Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2137

"M-My blood! I must test my bloodline!" the Grand Elder stammered, quickly seizing the Golden Phoenix Needle after snapping out of his daze.

Moments later, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed with unrestrained joy, "90.9 percent! My bloodline purity has surpassed ninety percent! This is a miracle!"

Stirred by his words, the other elders hastily tested themselves as well. Sure enough, nearly all of them discovered that their bloodline purity had risen by four to five percent.

"My lord! With only a single drop of your blood, our bloodlines have undergone unimaginable growth! And to think the Celestial Emperor only offered us no more than three percent!" one of them exclaimed.

Yet even in their excitement, unease gnawed at their hearts, as the results seemed almost too good to be true.

"Immortal Monarch, forgive my boldness, but... what kind of drawbacks should we expect from this?" someone finally asked, instantly silencing the place.

The clamor of celebration died down at once, and every gaze there shifted to Yuan, their faces full of worry and realization. They all knew that although innumerable treasures existed beneath the heavens, many of them had effects that were more detrimental than beneficial.

Now that their excitement had died down and their minds had cleared up, they began wondering what sacrifices must be made for such a powerful boost to their bloodline.

However, what came out of Yuan's mouth in just a moment left them all stunned again.

"Drawbacks? There are none. You can enjoy your improved bloodline without such needless worry."

"Are you serious?" Even Feng Lingyang couldn't believe it.

Yuan smiled and said, "If you think I am lying, I can swear on my soul."

"T-That won't be necessary! We believe you. It's just... I didn't expect such an overpowered ability to exist... Maybe that's why the Celestial Emperor is trying to get rid of you."

Yuan chuckled. "If you think this is overpowered, just wait until I fully recover my strength."

"Recover? Are you injured?" Feng Haoyu asked in surprise.

"No," Yuan replied calmly. "I only reincarnated recently, so much of my power has yet to return."

"I see..." Feng Haoyu murmured.

"Anyway, I have fulfilled the first part of our agreement. As for evolving your bloodline, you'll need to wait until I recover more of my strength, as I currently lacks the ability to do so."

Feng Lingyang nodded. "Don't worry. We never expected you to improve our bloodline so quickly in the first place, much less evolve it."

"Thank you for your understanding."

"So... what is the plan now? What do you want the Rising Phoenix Clan to do?" Feng Lingyang asked.

Yuan's expression grew solemn. "For now, focus on training and familiarizing yourselves with your newfound strength. I cannot say when, but I am certain the Celestial Emperor and the other Royal Phoenix Clans will not stay still and will soon act."

Feng Lingyang sighed at his words, but she was not surprised. In fact, she anticipated something like this would happen and had already mentally prepared for it.

"I don't know about the Celestial Emperor, but the Royal Phoenix Clans will definitely come after our clan for humiliating and defying them. However, I doubt they will come after us anytime soon-at least not until they figure out your prowess and whether or not they would be able to get away with it."

"In that case, I'll leave the Phoenix Rising Clan for now and return later," said Yuan.

"I understand."

"Before I go..." Yuan looked at Feng Lingyang and made a beckoning gesture with his hands.
