Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Dragon Cat’s Crazy Conception

Enlightenment Lands, as legend has it, are places where Great Sages achieved sudden enlightenment!

They contain an incredibly potent Dao Charm, offering heaven-defying benefits to cultivators.

However, Great Sages exist only in legends, to say nothing of Enlightenment Lands. Such places are nearly impossible to find, and even if any do exist, they are likely all controlled by powerful sects and ancient orders. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

And are even guarded as Forbidden Lands!

With Ye Wushuang’s current strength, he has no hope of breaking in.

"Hehe, kid, you don’t actually have to worry about any of that!"

The Dragon Cat, as if sensing Ye Wushuang’s worries, immediately said, "Dragon Blood—you’ve definitely got that, kid. As for an Enlightenment Land, Lord Cat guarantees he’ll find a good one for you."

"Oh?" Ye Wushuang’s eyes lit up. "You know where to find one of these Enlightenment Lands?"

"Hehe, Lord Cat sensed a few things before. There are several Enlightenment Lands in this Endless Wilderness. We just need to find one of them," the Dragon Cat said.

"You’re sure?" Ye Wushuang’s heart stirred as he stared at the Dragon Cat and asked.

"Of course! Lord Cat’s senses are never wrong. Otherwise, Lord Cat would have no place in the Nine Heavens Domain," the Dragon Cat declared, puffing itself up with an air of self-importance.

"Besides, once you rebuild your cultivation, you’ll understand the true benefits of the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique!" the Dragon Cat added.

"It seems Scattering and Rebuilding is inevitable." Hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s gaze became resolute, his conviction solidifying. He, too, had ambitions. He wanted to become a peerless expert, an invincible existence. He could not allow shackles to constrain his path—he had to shatter them.

"Right, fat cat, why are those three things necessary?" A question suddenly surfaced in Ye Wushuang’s mind as he looked down at the Dragon Cat.

At Ye Wushuang’s question, the Dragon Cat suddenly grew serious. Its eyes darted about as it mulled it over for a long moment before finally saying, "Well, it’s related to a concept Lord Cat has been developing."

"What concept?"

Ye Wushuang’s interest was piqued. ’What sort of concept could this little guy have come up with?’

The Dragon Cat looked up at Ye Wushuang. "To be honest, Lord Cat’s concept is inspired by a strand of Dragon Spirit Qi within your body."

"You mean my Dragon Spirit True Qi?" Ye Wushuang asked, confused.

"No!" the Dragon Cat refuted at once. "This Dragon Spirit Qi is not your Dragon Spirit True Qi. It’s the Origin Qi of your very bloodline!"

Ye Wushuang was baffled. "The Origin Qi of my bloodline? How could I not know about it?"

"This bloodline Qi has existed in you since birth, so of course you wouldn’t know. Lord Cat, however, finds it somewhat familiar... like I’ve sensed it somewhere before, but I can’t quite recall."

"Moreover, the very reason you can practice the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique is because of this Dragon Spirit Qi inside you."

"It’s clear you’ve got some secrets, kid!"

The Dragon Cat prattled on, sizing up Ye Wushuang with a curious and puzzled gaze, yet it couldn’t seem to figure him out.

Secrets?

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang frowned. ’I’m not a member of the Ye Family by birth. I was brought back and raised by Ye Xuan and have lived with the Ye Family my whole life. I don’t even know who my parents are, much less any secrets about my bloodline.’

"Never mind. Lord Cat will explain the concept first."

Seeing that Ye Wushuang was also in the dark, the Dragon Cat snapped back to the topic. It grew visibly excited as it began to talk about its grand idea.

Ye Wushuang temporarily pushed aside his own questions and listened quietly to the Dragon Cat’s explanation.

"Right now, you possess a Dragon Spirit Qi that no one else does. This is a natural advantage. Since you’re choosing to go through with Scattering and Rebuilding, we can use this power as your new foundation!"

"Then, we’ll use Dragon Blood as a catalyst to draw out the latent Dragon Spirit Qi in your bloodline and assimilate it!"

"Nourish it with the Vitality Power of Spirit Medicines!"

"Use the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique as your cultivation supplement!"

"And finally, using the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron as your Dragon Foundation, combined with an Enlightenment Land, we can forge the one and only body of its kind in all of history... the First Generation Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body!"

The Dragon Cat’s expression was full of excitement as it laid out the steps of its plan, as if Scattering and Rebuilding were the best thing in the world.

"First Generation Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body?"

Ye Wushuang silently repeated the unfamiliar phrase. For some reason, his very blood began to boil with excitement.

"Kid, once you successfully forge the First Generation Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body, you’ll be the only person in history to possess one. Then, as long as you constantly strengthen your cultivation, one day you might even revert to your primordial form, transforming into a Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon and becoming the ruler of all creation!"

The Dragon Cat was incredibly excited. This was the plan it had conceived just a short time ago. The Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron contained the blood essence of a Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon, making this crazy idea a real possibility.

Ye Wushuang weighed the pros and cons. He knew the Dragon Cat was only showing him the upsides; the little creature hadn’t mentioned a single drawback.

But good or bad, this time, he was willing to bet. He couldn’t refuse the allure of those four words: ruler of all creation.

If he won, he would be one step ahead of everyone else!

If he lost, he would be doomed beyond redemption, his body destroyed and his path to cultivation extinguished forever!

It was an incredibly dangerous gamble.

However, now that he had set foot on this Blood Road, life and death were his constant companions. ’What is there to fear? The only path to rebirth is through the jaws of death!’

And so, in that instant, a wild plan was born from the scheming of two lunatics.

"Hehe, how about a few barrels of that... you know... Fire Milk to celebrate?" the Dragon Cat suggested, its eyes darting about as it seized the opportunity.

This time, Ye Wushuang didn’t refuse. The fat cat had truly helped him. If he succeeded, he would gladly give it not just a few barrels, but an entire pond’s worth.

Then, Ye Wushuang’s gaze fell upon the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron. He let out a wry smile. It was supposed to be a fine Alchemy Divine Cauldron, yet its destiny was sealed before he had even performed a single alchemy refinement with it.

Alas!

With a sigh, Ye Wushuang withdrew his Divine Sense from the Chaos Space.

He then continued to consolidate his cultivation. He didn’t emerge from the cave until the first light of dawn streaked the sky.

"I have the Dragon Blood, and I have a lead on an Enlightenment Land... The next issue is the Spirit Medicines!"

Ye Wushuang muttered to himself as he gazed at the still-dim sky. He could only imagine the sheer quantity of Spirit Medicines required to forge the First Generation Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body.

Although he had a decent number of Spirit Medicines, most were from the Fierce Demon Cave and the Flood Dragon Palace. Their grades weren’t high—all were below the Ninth Grade. He didn’t have a single stalk of Treasure Medicine. It was unlikely to be enough.

"Looks like I’ll have to stay in the Endless Wilderness for a while longer. I’ll return to the Sect after I’ve dealt with my body," Ye Wushuang murmured before his figure vanished from sight.

BOOM!

Following this, Ye Wushuang began a mad hunt for Spirit Medicines. He plundered every Spirit Medicine he could find, regardless of whether it was guarded by a Demon Beast or a Barbaric Beast.

Of course, Ye Wushuang had no idea that the entire Endless Wilderness was in an uproar over him, and that countless people were frantically searching for his whereabouts.
