Do you think I wanted to take on this title?
It’s a rule passed down from our ancestors.
At least I’m from the Mei Clan, so it doesn’t sound too bad.”
Ye Yinzhu looked at Xi Duofu with confusion, “But the swordsmanship you were using just now, it wasn’t the Mei Clan’s, was it?”
Xi Duofu snorted, “If I had used the Mei Clan Swordsmanship, do you think you would have been able to hold out against me for so long?” As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a deep purple light shone out, instantly condensing into a longsword made entirely of pure energy in his grasp.
Xi Duofu waved his hand casually, and immediately, nine neat purple plum blossoms appeared out of thin air.
“One Sword Nine Plum,” Ye Yinzhu faintly recognized that each of the plum blossoms was posed of at least dozens of sword movements.
To summon nine plum blossoms in an instant, how fast that must have been!
Such an attack from a Sixth Rank Zi rank powerhouse—not to mention himself, even Grandpa probably couldn’t withstand it.
It seemed that he knew far too little about the matters of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.
“Grandfather Xi Duofu.
Since you are one of the Dong Long Guardian Elders, why did you bee…”
“Why did I bee a Marshal of the Milan Empire, right?” Xi Duofu said placidly.
Ye Yinzhu nodded his head.
Xi Duofu municated telepathically, “Our Eight Eastern Dragon Clans have existed for many years, yet we’ve never really had a chance to develop.
The Eastern Dragon bloodline has mostly been assimilated by the West Dragon.
It’s not easy to rise again.
In order for our Eight Eastern Dragon Clans to develop better, each of us four Law Enforcement Elders has a different mission.
My mission is to bee a marshal in this first Empire.
When I left the sect at nineteen, I joined the Milan Empire.
Starting from the most ordinary soldier, I’ve worked my way up to where I am today.
The Zi Luolan Family has been developed for who knows how many generations, but the Xi Duofu Family starts with me.
On the surface, I’ve pletely integrated into the Milan Empire.
But my blood is of the Eastern Dragon.
When I became one of the two Marshals of the Milan Empire, I was given the title of Law Enforcement Elder.
Even Asis doesn’t know this secret.
Child, you are still too young.
If today you had met another powerful being instead of me, our Eight Eastern Dragon Clans’ forbidden abilities might have been discovered, and you might not have been able to get away.”
Ye Yinzhu bowed his head and transmitted back, “I was too careless.
In the academy where everything went smoothly, no one suspected anything, which made me neglect to think things through.”
Xi Duofu sternly said, “Perhaps, to ordinary people, being below Rainbow-grade doesn’t seem significant, but once Faran finds out, it would be a disaster.
Returning to the original topic, do you really plan on going to the Seven Nations Seven Dragons ranking battle like this?”
Ye Yinzhu replied with a wry smile, “It’s an order from Elder Howard.
Can I choose not to go?
You must have experienced yourself how overbearing Silver Dragon City can be.”
After thinking for a moment, Xi Duofu said, “It seems that the only way is to help you fully enter the Zi rank before the petition so that you can hide from prying eyes.”
Ye Yinzhu was startled, “Enter the Zi rank?
How is that possible?
I’m already very fortunate to have the abilities I do now.
But the speed at which I’m currently cultivating has slowed down significantly.
It’s extremely difficult to advance to the Zi rank, not to mention I practice Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation.
Grandpa Qin mentioned when I approach the Zi rank, I’ll encounter the Magic Martial Limit, which is many times harder to break through than just one.”
“Yin Zhu, do you know how old the youngest Zi rank in the history of our Eight Eastern Dragon Clans was?” Xi Duofu looked intently at Ye Yinzhu.
Ye Yinzhu shook his head and said, “Before I left home, I had never heard the two grandpas mention the matters of our Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.
I only learned a lot of things when my father came to visit me at the academy a few days ago.”
Xi Duofu gravely said, “It was at nineteen years old.”
“Nineteen years old?” Ye Yinzhu exclaimed.
To his knowledge, both of his grandfathers were over fifty when they reached Zi rank.
Particularly Qin Shang, who only reached it after sixty.
Nineteen, whether for the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans or for humans cultivating according to the Rainbow grades, was unimaginable.
Xi Duofu looked at the shock in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, “Do you know why someone could reach Zi rank at nineteen?
It’s due to the secret techniques passed down by our Eastern Dragon Empire.
Secrets only known to the successive Law Enforcement Elders.”
“Then you don’t need to tell me.
I am not an Elder,” Ye Yinzhu said calmly.
Xi Duofu smiled faintly and said, “Although you are not a Law Enforcement Elder, you are the first genius in the history of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.”
Ye Yinzhu was stunned and said, “No way!
Didn’t you just say the youngest Zi rank in our Eight Eastern Dragon Clans was nineteen years old?
I am already seventeen this year.
Judging from my current cultivation speed, even if I don’t consider the Magic Martial Limit, it will be very difficult for me to reach the level of a Zi rank by the time I am nineteen.”
Xi Duofu said, “However, your true strength is already sufficient for the Zi rank.
What’s more, you didn’t achieve it through our Eastern Dragon secret methods, but purely through cultivation.
Such talent has never been seen in our Eastern Dragon Clans before, not even in the history of the Eastern Dragon Empire.
Do you know how the said nineteen-year-old reached the Zi rank?”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head blankly.
Xi Duofu said, “Eastern Dragon secret methods, the Butter Baptism.”
“Butter Baptism?” Ye Yinzhu looked at Xi Duofu, dumbfounded.
Xi Duofu nodded and continued, “Butter Baptism is a special ability suitable only for martial artists.
It is a transfer of Douqi.
One person infuses their own Douqi into another person’s body, and it bees the latter’s Douqi.
That is the Butter Baptism.
When one of the Four Great Guardian Elders of the Eastern Dragon is nearing the end of life, they will choose a suitable disciple to transfer their Douqi in a Butter Baptism.
Although they will die immediately after the transfer, one-third of their original Douqi will bee the disciple’s.
In other words, it’s possible to instantly create a master with one-third of an Elder’s Douqi abilities.
Naturally, it’s easier for them to reach the strength of a Zi rank when they cultivate on such a foundation.”
“Cultivation ability can be transferred to others?
In that case, if several Elders transferred their power to one person, wouldn’t that instantly create a Zi rank powerhouse?”
Xi Duofu shook his head and looked at the surprised Ye Yinzhu, saying, “It’s not that simple.
The requirements for Butter Baptism are very stringent.
First, the recipient must have a certain Douqi foundation and must have attributes that pletely match the transmitter’s.
Moreover, the transfer process is extremely dangerous.
One mistake, and both parties could die simultaneous.
A person can only accept Butter Baptism once.
If there is a second time, they will instantly burst and die.
Do you think creating a powerhouse is that easy?
This is a method against the natural order, and it greatly affects later stages of cultivation.
Gradual and progressive cultivation is the true path to strength.
I came to understand this only after I broke through to the Zi rank.
I was a recipient of the Butter Baptism secret method.
Under its effect, I broke through to the Zi rank at the age of twenty-five, being a War Master.
With the abilities of a Zi rank, I then became a Foreign Silver Dragon and Marshal of the Milan Empire.
I am seventy-two years old this year, forty-seven years of time!
Yet, I only advanced from the First Rank of Zi rank to the Sixth Rank Zi level.
This is the consequence of the forced growth from Butter Baptism.”
Although Ye Yinzhu knew it was extremely difficult to advance after reaching the Zi rank, hearing Xi Duofu say it took forty-seven years just to advance from First Rank Zi level to Sixth Rank still made him gasp in shock.
How many forty-seven years can one have in a lifetime?
Xin Duofu continued, “That’s why I say you’re the first genius of our Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.
Although I don’t know how Grandpa Qin and Ye Li managed to do it, the fact that you have reached your current achievements at seventeen without going through Butter Baptism is beyond my imagination.” As he said this, a gleam of something different flashed in his eyes, “Perhaps, the emergence of a genius also signifies that the time for the rise of our Eight Eastern Dragon Clans is upon us.
Therefore, no matter what, you must emerge unscathed from the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons ranking battle.
Yin Zhu, is it only Haiyang’s music that can elevate to a sublime effect during a duet with you?”
Ye Yinzhu said, “That’s not the case, but Haiyang is the one with the highest cultivation.
She has already reached the Intermediate Green rank.
Coupled with my Seventh Rank Qinxin Sword ability, through a duet performance, our Divine Music Magic can at least be elevated to the level of a First Rank Zi rank.”
Xi Duofu appeared a bit distressed and hesitated for a long time before looking at Ye Yinzhu again, saying solemnly, “Can you guarantee her absolute safety?
I mean absolute, without a single mishap.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “Definitely.
As long as I am alive, Haiyang will not be endangered.”
Xi Duofu nodded, sighed softly, and said, “Haiyang must not be endangered, or else…
I will try my best to let her go with you.”
Hearing the word “try,” Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Xi Duofu was Haiyang’s grandfather, and it seemed like he should be able to decide everything about her, so why did he say “try?”
Xi Duofu said, “Telling you about the Butter Baptism serves as a reminder to not use any forced methods to increase your strength too quickly, which could lead to unstable foundations.
Additionally, after years of research, I’ve found that Butter Baptism is not unchangeable.
If controlled properly, it can undergo some variations.
If everything goes well, I can temporarily boost your Douqi to the Initial Zi rank, which is the First Rank Zi Zhu of your sect.” (To be continued.
