Qingyi had no idea how famous his name had become overnight. If he had known, he would probably ignore and still be more focused on what he was doing right now.

He had four thousand two hundred G lust points stored up. To upgrade his bloodline and constitution to the cosmic grade, he needed five hundred G lust points.

A quick calculation, and a smile appeared on his lips.

That should be more than enough to elevate everything to the eternal grade, right?

His fingers moved, landing on the option to improve his constitution and lineage at the same time. Two clicks on each.

The first two consumed five hundred lust points. The other two, two thousand. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

[The host must indeed be a masochist, to accept the pain of upgrading his lineage and constitution by two levels at the same time]

"Argh..." Qingyi gasped, a puff of scorching air and steam escaping his lips as the enhancement hit. "It’s not masochism... just efficiency, hahaha."

He chuckled through clenched teeth, struggling to control the immediate regret.

That, in fact, hurt like hell!

[Improving your constitution!]

[Improving your bloodline!]

He endured it, clenching his teeth so hard that his jaw cracked.

His skin burned like molten iron poured over raw flesh, and black scales erupted across his body, emerging even without his will. That drew a wide smile from his lips.

Finally, one of his bloodline abilities was being improved again!

For long hours, the process continued.

The purity of his blood rose to a level where a black tail sprouted from his back and his wings unfurled even without using draconification.

However, he concealed both, controlling his appearance so that only his horns remained visible.

He didn’t want to turn into a bipedal beast like Bai Hu Lie.

It was only after nearly ten hours that a long sigh escaped his lips, power surging from his body .

The purity of his bloodline had reached eighty-eight percent.

Only twelve percent remained to fully inherit the bloodline of the Corruption Dragon God.

Just thinking about it made his blood burn with excitement.

It seemed like a small amount, but in reality, that twelve percent represented the most powerful part of the bloodline. Once attained, it would lead to an absurd explosion of power.

[Your bloodline. "Blood of the Corruption Dragon God" has been upgraded! Origin -> Cosmic -> Eternal.]

[Your constitution. "Body of the Primordial Dragon" has been upgraded! Origin -> Cosmic -> Eternal.]

[Your bloodline ability "Black Dragon Scales" has been completed!]

Qingyi glanced at those notifications but didn’t stop. His fingers moved up to the spiritual roots, both of mana and Qi.

Without hesitation, he spent another one thousand two hundred G lust points, reducing the total to just a thousand.

His eyes flashed at that very moment. Power exploded through his body and sucked in the surrounding Qi in an endless torrent.

For the first time since he reached the celestial heavens, he managed to absorb Qi with such voracity that a void formed around him.

The intensity rose. He absorbed more and more.

His meridians expanded and rebuilt themselves under the pressure. His dantian cracked and reformed, larger and denser, to accommodate the absurd amount of Qi flooding into him.

In the end, standing up, he smiled as the power radiated from every fiber of his being.

First, he turned his attention to the black scales.

He was quite dissatisfied with this ability. In the fight against Bai Hu Lie, the tiger had easily torn off scales using its claws.

Of course, no other cultivator would be capable of that, but the fact that it had happened still annoyed him.

His eyes narrowed, and with metallic clicks, armor made of scales as black as night covered his body. Thick and powerful, they fused perfectly to his skin without compromising his mobility.

He flexed his arms, testing their weight and resilience. A laugh escaped him.

Without a doubt, they would be able to stop Bai Hu Lie’s claws now.

Before leaving the cultivation room, he glanced at his status screen.

The costs had skyrocketed, but he was by no means unhappy.

His power had more than doubled, even without improving his cultivation. And he still had enough lust points to elevate himself to the peak of the Celestial Ascension realm, even considering the increased cost at each stage.

Shaking his head, Qingyi sighed.

The things he had to do at the Cosmic Void Sect had run out.

The second stage of the Secret Realm could take months or years to open. When that happened, the sect would notify them.

Now, his mission was different.

He needed to return to the Cosmic Dawn Sect, complete more missions, and through that, prepare to become Rouxi’s adopted son.

With Rou’er’s help, that shouldn’t be difficult, right?

He knew the relationship between the two was very good, and knowing Rou’er, she would use the entire competition just to make it clear what a good choice Qingyi was.

With a stellar sovereign milf mommy as his adoptive mother, he had nothing to fear in that region.

"Ah... first, I think I’ll pay a little visit to my new father-in-law." Qingyi laughed, leaving the cultivation room.

He was almost certain that Xue Hua would want to go with him to the Sect of the Cosmic Dawn, but the question was whether she would be allowed to go.
