Bloodline Evolution

Gu Changyuan did not speak; his gaze fell upon the patch of golden light.

The radiance showed no signs of diminishing.

Instead, it seemed to be continuously strengthening.

Tushan Youyao continued, "It has been nearly four days. We are worried something might have happened to her, but we also fear she is in the middle of something important, and rashly interrupting her would ruin things."

She looked at Gu Changyuan, a trace of worry in her eyes. "Therefore, we wanted to ask Master to come and take a look."

None of them could use their divine sense to probe inside and check on Luo Qingchen's condition. The light was simply too dazzling, completely blocking out all divine senses.

Listening to Tushan Youyao's explanation, Gu Changyuan nodded slowly to show he understood. There was not a trace of panic on his face; his expression remained indifferent.

His gaze fell upon Luo Qingchen's room once more. With a shift of his divine sense, an invisible force broke through the dazzling golden light and silently slipped into the room, accurately locking onto Luo Qingchen's surroundings.

Inside the room, Luo Qingchen sat cross-legged.

Her entire body was wrapped in two pairs of pure white wings.

That is right, not one pair, but two.

The wings extended from her back, overlapping layer upon layer, enveloping her entire body within.

Every single feather emitted a soft golden light, pure, holy, and without a trace of impurity.

The wings were slightly smaller than before.

But the density of the feathers was higher, and their luster was much richer.

Luo Qingchen was completely wrapped in white feathers, and her figure could only be vaguely seen through the gaps between them.

The spiritual energy around her surged madly, continuously flowing into her body along the lines of her wings, nourishing her physique.

Her eyes were tightly shut, her face peaceful, and her breathing long and even.

It was as if she had fallen asleep.

Gu Changyuan's divine sense probed deeper, carefully examining Luo Qingchen's overall condition. A moment later, a clear flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He discovered that the bloodline within Luo Qingchen's body was actually boiling wildly and continuously transforming. Her original bloodline aura was becoming increasingly rich and pure.

Luo Qingchen's bloodline was evolving.

It was not a simple enhancement, but a fundamental metamorphosis.

A trace of surprise flashed through Gu Changyuan's eyes.

Bloodline evolution.

This sort of thing was not considered common even in the entire Monster Realm of the Nine Heavens World.

To think that this girl could actually trigger a bloodline evolution during her cultivation; it was truly an unexpected delight.

The corners of Gu Changyuan's mouth curled up slightly.

Since he could confirm that this phenomenon was caused by bloodline evolution, he felt relieved.

Bloodline evolution was not a bad thing; on the contrary, it was a tremendously good thing.

It was just that the process would be quite intense, and the phenomena it caused would be rather exaggerated.

Those golden lights in Luo Qingchen's room were likely caused by the spiritual energy overflowing during the bloodline evolution process.

Gu Changyuan withdrew his divine sense and turned around, his gaze falling upon the disciples who were waiting for his conclusion.

A smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said in a relaxed tone, "Qingchen is undergoing a bloodline evolution."

Bloodline evolution?

Tushan Youyao, Lu Jiuyi, Bai Zeming, and the others were momentarily stunned, before expressions of mixed shock and pleasant surprise appeared on their faces.

Shock, because bloodline evolution was far too rare, and they had never encountered or seen any other examples of it.

Pleasant surprise, naturally, because Luo Qingchen was their fellow disciple.

Her improvement was a good thing for the entire Heavenly Demon Pavilion.

The worry on Tushan Youyao's face was completely swept away, replaced by uncontainable joy. "Bloodline evolution... Then does not that mean Qingchen..."

"Mhm."

Gu Changyuan nodded, his gaze returning to that patch of golden light.

"Once she completes her evolution, her bloodline should reach the level of Sacred Blood."

He paused, a trace of anticipation flashing in his eyes. "When that time comes, she might even awaken new divine abilities."

He clapped his hands and turned to look at the surrounding disciples, his tone becoming casual. "Since it is a bloodline evolution, there is no need to worry. Let us go back and sit down first; we cannot just stand here waiting forever, right?"

"Yes."

The disciples nodded in agreement and followed their Master back to the second highest floor of the Heavenly Demon Tower.

Gu Changyuan did not stay in the Heavenly Demon Pavilion for long.

Ye Qingxue, Bai Ling'er, and Yue Lingxi soon arrived via the teleportation array.

They had heard from Gu Xing'er that something seemed to have happened on Luo Qingchen's end, and that Gu Changyuan had hurried to the Heavenly Demon Pavilion.

Unable to rest assured, they rushed over through the teleportation array.

When they learned from Gu Changyuan that Luo Qingchen was not in danger, but was instead undergoing a rare bloodline evolution.

The worry on their faces instantly faded, replaced by full joy, and they all felt happy for Luo Qingchen.

Since it was not anything bad, there was no rush.

The three girls sat down and began to chat idly with their Master and the other disciples of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion.

Gu Changyuan sat in his chair, holding Xiaobai in his arms, the little white fox he had casually saved back then.

In eight years, this once tiny little white fox had grown quite a bit. In the past, its figure was petite, and placing it on one leg was more than enough.

Now, its body was much plumper, able to lay flat and steady across both of Gu Changyuan's thighs. It was a furry ball that felt incredibly good to the touch.

Although its cultivation talent was indeed much worse compared to Gu Changyuan's disciples, and its progress was not fast.

But its innate domain could help other surrounding cultivators accelerate their comprehension and nourish their divine souls.

Just based on this point alone, even if its cultivation base remained very low in the future, its status in the Heavenly Demon Pavilion would not be low.

After all, whether it was disciples cultivating or clan elders comprehending the Dao, they could all make use of it. It could be called the Heavenly Demon Pavilion's mobile Dao comprehension assistant.

The group chatted for a while. As the sky gradually darkened, Gu Changyuan got up and returned to his exclusive room on the top floor of the Heavenly Demon Tower.

Tushan Youyao, Lu Jiuyi, and the others also returned to their own pavilions, while Ye Qingxue stayed in one of the other rooms on the top floor.

Time flew by, and two days passed.

From the direction of the Third Pavilion, a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly transmitted over.

Gu Changyuan was lying in his top-floor room resting with his eyes closed. Sensing that fluctuation, he instantly opened his eyes.

He took a step out of his room, arriving outside the Heavenly Demon Tower.

At the same time, all the disciples arrived at the very first moment.

Everyone's gaze fell upon the top floor of the Third Pavilion.

That patch of golden light was skyrocketing.

It was more intense than any time before.

Golden light gushed out from the windows, the gaps in the doors, and the cracks in the walls, illuminating the entire Third Pavilion as bright as day.

The surrounding air was vibrating slightly, as if something was breaking out of its cocoon.

Gu Changyuan stood at the very front, calmly looking at that patch of golden light.

He could feel it.

The bloodline evolution within Luo Qingchen's body had reached its final juncture.

The golden light lasted for about half a cup of tea's time, its brightness growing higher and higher...

Then, it flashed violently.

The entire top floor of the Third Pavilion was instantly swallowed by a vast expanse of white light.

The light came quickly and faded just as fast.

It was only an instant.

In the next moment, all the light dissipated simultaneously.

The surroundings of the Third Pavilion returned to their normal brightness.

Gu Changyuan took a step forward, his figure appearing directly inside the room.

The rest of the disciples followed closely behind, filing in one after another.
