Chapter 230 - Unlocking the Divine Third Eye! (1/2)

There were five tests in the level of Rebirth: mortal body, psyche, skills, Yuan Shen, and the final test was the comprehensive evaluation of the disciple's prowess. Following this, Zhong Yue also passed the tests in the Skills Palace and the Psyche Palace, acquiring another two drops of ancestral blood. From the start until now, he had already absorbed eight drops of ancestral blood.

However, in the Mortal Body Palace, he was defeated by the draconic golden statues and was only rewarded with a pool of jade water and a surge of the Ancestral Dragon Qi.

Zhong Yue crossed his arms while sitting in the jade pool, his face was gloomy; Xin Huo was also crossing his arms, showing indignation on his face.

"If it was the conventional way, you would've passed." Xin Huo said angrily. "Your mortal body strength is still lacking."

Zhong Yue nodded, he had failed badly in this test. The first draconic golden statue was the strongest, the grievous battle depleted more than half of his reserves. Even if he had the sun and moon light to recuperate his wounds, he still could not recover the damage inflicted on his mortal body.

While the second golden statue was the second strongest, it had inflicted more wounds on his already heavily wounded mortal body. One after another, the injuries slowly accumulated. Eventually, all of the bones in his body were crushed, and he was defeated by the 61st draconic golden statue, barely passing the test, and missing the chance to acquire the ancestral blood.

Although his mortal body had been cultivated to an appallingly strong state with the [Sun Moon Emanation Art] and the physique refining arts of the Martial Masters, his mortal body was still not strong enough, not in the eyes of the dragons.

The dragon race was naturally born with extraordinarily strong physiques; the only way to surpass them was if he awakened more of the Fuxi bloodline in his body!

"En, my divine third eye, the Fuxi divine eye's natural totem patterns are almost complete."

Zhong Yue opened his divine third eye, and there were totem patterns flowing like water inside it. These Fuxi totem patterns were hidden in the Fuxi bloodline, they were the symbols of the Fuxi celestial race. As Zhong Yue was nourished by the ancestral blood, the thin and faint Fuxi bloodline in him was purified, and part of the Fuxi Celestial Race's power concealed in the blood had awakened!

This was the awakening of the bloodline!

Although the awakened power was only part of the bloodline power of the divine third eye, it was still a huge improvement to Zhong Yue!

The divine third eye's totem patterns were natural totem patterns that were concealed in the Fuxi bloodline, they were the natural skills, the bloodline power of a race, containing incredible force!

While this kind of bloodline power was in the bodies of all of humans, they knew nothing of it, they still regarded themselves as weaklings. But now, with the help from the ancestral blood, Zhong Yue had finally unlocked a small part of the bloodline power in his Fuxi bloodline!

"A little bit more, and the divine third eye's totem patterns will be completed."

Zhong Yue carefully observed the Fuxi totem patterns in his divine third eye. He found that the totem patterns were flowing irregularly, probably because of the incomplete totem patterns.

As for the abstruse mysteries that were contained in the totem patterns, it felt like he had learned them before, and knew them naturally.

Not only that, but he had also found out that the natural totem patterns of the Fuxi Celestial Race were naturally concealed in the bodies of humans. They would never emerge in normal circumstances, but only when the human had awakened the Fuxi bloodline.

This meant that the power in their bloodline did not disappear, but instead, was sealed away by an unknown and powerful force.

"Sealing off the powers of a whole celestial race, and tossing immortals into becoming mortals? Even the descendants had to suffer from the everlasting seal?"

Zhong Yue was stunned, a cold chill was sent down his spine as he mumbled, "How can someone possibly be so strong as to seal the power of a whole celestial race? Moreso, a celestial race with a sovereign's bloodline, one that countless Heavenly Monarchs have burgeoning within? Impossible, there must be a mistake, I must've missed something that led me to such an improbable conjecture…."

Xin Huo was also solemn, he pondered deeply. "If there really is someone that has sealed off the power of the Fuxi Celestial Race, and banished the once noble celestials into the mortal humans, which race is strong enough to do so? Which one of the celestial races possesses such a dire strength? No… it's impossible for it to be one of the celestials, then could it be the demons? The celestials and demons were long-standing rivals, and the demons are not weak either…."

Zhong Yue, on the other hand, collected his thoughts and walked back out to the river. As he had completed all five tests in the Rebirth level golden palaces, he headed for his next target, the Spirit Nurturing tests.

Five golden palaces of the Rebirth tests, five pools of jade water. His cultivation base was pushed to the peak of the Awakening level, with his five Yuan Shen secret realms at the extremes, strong and sturdy while vibrant with energy. Even the Dao Yi Wheel and Dao Yi Secret Realm had not been this strong before.

Zhong Yue could now easily cast his Yuan Shens' third forms, those of the three-taloned Golden Crow celestial being and the three-legged six-eyed celestial being!

He was not far away from advancing into the Atman Body level!

Xin Huo said, "The fully awakened divine third eye was not only strong, but it could also see through all of the illusions and reach to the truth, allowing the cultivator to perceive all of the abstrusities in the totem patterns and the skills. And now, your divine third eye is still lacking the last piece of the totem patterns. One more ancestral blood award! You only need one more ancestral blood award to unlock the Fuxi totem patterns in your bloodline required for the complete awakening of the divine third eye, just one single drop!"

Zhong Yue pushed open the fifth golden palace of the tests of the level of Spirit Nurturing, he stride in with a strong and firm gait. Right at that moment, the voice of the Ancestral Dragon rang in his ears, "Young man of the Fuxi Celestial Race, the power offered to me by the dragon race's worship is fading, are you still not going to participate in the Five Levels Mergence? If so, then my heritage and markings will be given to that young Jiao Dragon."

Zhong Yue staunchly shook his head in reply.

Sighing, the Ancestral Dragon's voice faded away.

...

Jiao Qingtu had already defeated Po Luke and the other dragon disciple, he was waiting for Zhong Yue's arrival. All of a sudden, the door behind him opened unexpectedly.

Jiao Qingtu was stunned, he cast his gaze over the river and mumbled, "I've yet to defeat Long Yue, so why did the door open by itself? Could it be that he has failed in one of the tests and has been teleported out from the Ancestral Dragon secret realm? If that's the case, then we can only delay the battle until after the Ancestral Dragon Ritual has finished!"

He marched forward and entered the door. Shaking his head, he said, "But by then, I will have already acquired the Leizhe totem patterns, and the heritage of the Ancestral Dragon; my prowess will be at a whole new level, I'm afraid that Long Yue will not be fit to be my opponent anymore…"
