The dragon’s sleeping body would still radiate potent energy which would transform into Life Qi with the aid of the formation. He would need to put up other formations to monitor the sleeping beauty as well as take optimize the use of the energy she radiated!

Heifeng Jiansui flew out of the vault of the sect ruins and flew into the sky. There was still the mysterious pearl remaining. Fortunately, the chaos energy hadn’t completely dissipated yet, he had enough to obtain that inheritance.

Atop Nineprime, Heifeng Jiansui flew out into the starry sky. With the power of chaos, the sword cut through the wind at an astonishing speed, and he reached the end of the firmament. Just outside the transparent dimensional walls which had strengthened again, he could see the mysterious pearl shining like a star.

He could see but not touch… Like an enticing woman, that object remained just out of his reach.

Thinking of a method to receive that pearl, Heifeng Jiansui thought of something. His eyes slanted upwards, and his pupils turned pure black. There were the eyes of a Black Phoenix! With them, he could even peer through space and stare at the Dao Inscriptions engraved on the pearl.

Watching them, the inscriptions corresponded to ice and fire. Heifeng Jiansui’s face brightened at that. After watching more carefully, it was actually a technique!

Heifeng Jiansui was reminded of the Ice-Fire Divine Forging Art created by Skytemper. This was similar to it, though it had a few crucial differences…

Without thinking, Heifeng Jiansui used the technique described to fuse ice and fire together and strike the pearl with it. The dimensional walls got in the way but the Dao waves formed by the fusion still made their way to the pearl, attracting it.

After a few more attacks, the pearl was pressed on the dimensional walls and pierced through them to enter Heifeng Jiansui’s hands. Immediately, it flashed and entered Heifeng Jiansui’s body. It was entering into his dantian, and Heifeng Jiansui could not use it until the fusion was complete.

However, he had accomplished all his goals. He defeated the Thunderfire Dragon, tricked her into entering meditation for 1000 years and even gathered the inheritance she failed to obtain. Today, he had made many profits!

Just then, he realized that the chaos energy had finally dispersed and even on Nineprime, it would take hours for him to reach the island…

“Oh well, why do a few hours matter? Let’s see if you are as fast or have slowed down due to lethargy my beloved sword! Let’s go, Nineprime!” Stepping onto the flying sword, the valiant youth burnt his blood, called upon the power of chaos and flew down to the island!

The moment his feet touched the ground, he felt two soft masses press against his back. “Master, you returned safely! I was so scared when I lost the connection between us… I thought you had died or worse…sob, sob…” The pitiful cries of the dragon girl and the tears of frustration flowing the from the girl pressed against him were both intended to arouse his affection, but Heifeng Jiansui preferred making the dragon girl cry in despair rather than hurt Ninebless who was so affectionate to him.

Just then, Heifeng Jiansui remembered that she was his Magical Beast bound by the Black Phoenix Allbeast Rule and they shared a mental connection. And of course, the connection would lose power upon when he flew to the firmament at the edge of the world…

“Don’t worry, I am here now.” Saying this, he affectionately patted her head. The cold Ninebless he met 4 years before and the affectionate Jiuxie of now were almost like two different people.

Wiping her teary face on his sleeves, Jiuxie’s face brightened. “But master, you were so amazing! That giant dragon smashed through the dimensional barriers, and you took care of her in two blows! One blow to slash the wings, one blow at the throat to grasp the reverse scale! You even turned that dominating mighty dragon turned into a teary woman! How did you do that?!” Hearing Jiuxie’s excited questions, Heifeng Jiansui explained it simply.

“Actually, our breakthrough attracted the purest chaos energy of the universe at this place. That is a energy only usable by the top-level cultivators, but I gained the chance to control it for a while. With it, I cornered her and forced her to enter meditative seclusion! Unfortunately, the energy dissipated, so I am only a mortal now…” Since she had seen the entire battle, Heifeng Jiansui simply said the truth to her.

“You forced her to enter meditative seclusion? Why didn’t you violate her for her blood essence?” Hearing Jiuxie’s question, Heifeng Jiansui answered.

“No matter what, she is still a top-level cultivator. While I may be able to force her back, violating her with my mortal body is simply asking for death. After a century or so, if my body is strong enough, I’ll try my luck.” Hearing his serious answer to her joke, Jiuxie was shocked silent!

“Master, shamelessly lusting after another woman in front of a girl who has given herself up to you is–––” At this moment, Heifeng Jiansui interrupted her. “Rather than lusting after a woman, this is more like being greedy for cultivation resources, you know?”

“Greedy for cultivation resources!? What cultivation boost will violating her give… Oh. But still, it’s wrong!” Jiuxie couldn’t help her scream at Heifeng Jiansui.

“Cultivation resources are something that help increase the speed and amount of cultivation! Pills and elixirs, energy stones, rare materials from plants and animals, beastcores, treasures formed from Heaven and Earth, weapons and armor, strange treasures… All of them are vital for cultivation. No matter how peerless a genius is, relying on Heaven and Earth for his cultivation is impossible! Since violating a person can capture and seize their energy, that person, be it man, woman or beast, is a cultivation resource!” Heifeng Jiansui’s face was extremely impassioned as he said this.

That’s right. If you believe in things like morals and ethics as a cultivator, you probably won’t be able to gather resources, stagnate your cultivation and die on the road to immortality. Heifeng Jiansui knew that his willingness to fight tooth and nail for resources what vital on his road to the apex!

“So master, at what realm are you going to violate that crying dragon?” Another teasing question was asked by Heifeng Jiuxie.

Unexpectedly, Heifeng Jiansui actually answered. “Well, I can’t attack her at Body Transformation, no wait, I probably can. The lowest threshold is the peak of Body Transformation and a step away from Life Desolation. When the returning Yin-Yang energy blasts my body to dust, I can breakthrough and reconstruct my body for another round! After that as I violate her, my threshold to her energy will constantly rise, and at the 9th stage, I will have a body capable of storing energy way beyond its capacity!

Of course, that requires a ridiculously strong innate physique, a mighty vitality capable of lasting in bed for hours, a pinnacle dual-cultivation art and a ridiculously strong consciousness! This is only theoretically possible but hardly practical!”

Hearing the explanation, Heifeng Jiuxie’s face turned white. ‘What theoretically possible but hardly practical, you clearly have all these attributes. Please don’t try this theory out yourself…’
