I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

"It really works!" Lin Che stared intently at the newly updated panel data of the Yaren Dragon Beast on the light screen in front of him.

Unlike the Cangming Jiao, which can activate its thin dragon blood and successfully transform into a dragon when advancing to the fourth rank, its bloodline leaps to become the Cangming Jiao.

The example of the Yaren Beast before us powerfully demonstrates that those spirit beasts with the bloodline of ancient dragon sons, propelled by the system's unconventional power, can completely surpass their inherent growth limits.

By achieving the ultimate return to one's ancestral roots and the sublimation of one's essence, one can eventually open the Dragon Gate, attain the appearance of a true dragon, and elevate one's bloodline to the highest grade!

Moreover, compared to the "Ya Ren Beast" before its advancement, which purely pursued the ultimate single-target damage, the current Ya Ren Dragon Beast has a surprising new ability that surprised Lin Che.

Potential for large-scale and sustained combat.

His gaze fell upon the newly awakened [Weapon Forging Furnace] supernatural power.

The description of this supernatural power is quite peculiar.

It can devour the broken magical artifacts and weapon fragments of the enemy, and even absorb the remnants of powerful supernatural spells left on the battlefield, transforming them into a special organ called the "Soldier's Dragon Furnace".

It can be tempered, purified, and recombined within it, ultimately forging its own unique "Myriad Transformations Dragon Weapon"!

"Doesn't this mean I can create and control combat puppets myself?" Lin Che thought to himself, feeling very curious.

It's just unknown how powerful this "Myriad Transformations Dragon Soldier" is, what special abilities it has, whether it's a melee or ranged weapon, or whether it has different functions.

In the future, we will have to conduct more tests to explore its tactical value.

Immediately, Lin Che's gaze paused, landing on the [Inherited Techniques] section.

"The Blood Slaughtering Soldier Master's Manual?" He was slightly surprised.

Previously, none of the spirit beasts he possessed, whether they were the Burning Heaven Sacred Sparrow, the Azure Sea Flood Dragon, or the Overturning River Crocodile Turtle, had ever awakened any inherited cultivation techniques.

Unexpectedly, when the Yaren Beast advanced to the fifth rank of its bloodline and transformed into a dragon beast, it naturally awakened this technique.

"It seems that the awakening of a spirit beast's inherited cultivation technique is closely related to its bloodline concentration, rank, and especially the degree of ancestral atavism."

Lin Che speculated that perhaps when the Burning Heaven Sacred Sparrow and the Azure Sea Flood Dragon also advance to the fifth rank in the future, they will also awaken the powerful inheritance belonging to their ancient ancestors.

Once a spirit beast possesses a unique cultivation technique that perfectly matches its own bloodline, its cultivation speed will increase significantly, and its efficiency in absorbing and converting spiritual energy from heaven and earth will also be higher.

As the master who has formed a life-bound or special contract with them, Lin Che naturally receives a corresponding increase in spiritual energy in return.

This is undoubtedly excellent news, meaning that his own cultivation path will also benefit from it.

On the other side, the Yaren Dragon Beast, which had just completed its transformation, seemed to have begun to adapt to its more powerful and majestic new body and the surging power within it.

It turned its pair of cold, dark golden vertical pupils.

First, he looked at his partner "Xiao Jin," who was tense yet unable to contain her excitement, not far away.

A low, gentle dragon roar escaped from its throat, conveying a sense of reassurance and affirmation.

Then, it solemnly turned its gaze to Lin Che, who had bestowed this fortune upon it and stood not far away.

The massive dragon head slowly lowered, its pair of rugged, dark gold horns, seemingly capable of piercing the sky, tilting slightly forward, expressing the highest degree of respect and submission in an ancient and solemn manner.

"Thank you, Master."

A divine thought, much clearer and more composed than before, entered Lin Che's mind. Though still concise, it conveyed gratitude and loyalty from the depths of his soul.

Lin Che stepped forward, extended his right hand, and gently stroked the cold, hard dragon horn, which was shrouded in a dark golden aura.

The touch from the fingertips not only contained a heart-pounding power, but also conveyed a heavy will to submit, far greater than ever before.

A genuine smile of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"very good."

Lin Che's voice, clear and powerful, was directed at the Yaren Dragon Beast:

"From this day forward, I will name you Yazi."

"By using this name, we are both tracing back to your illustrious dragon ancestor and hoping that one day you will be able to reproduce or even surpass the prestige of your ancestor."

"Become the sharpest and most loyal blade in my hand, and together we will cut through all thorns and obstacles in our path!"

"roar--!!!"

The Yazi Dragon Beast—no, it should now be called Yazi—raised its head to the sky and let out a long, impassioned roar that pierced through the clouds and split rocks, filled with the might of a dragon!

The roaring sound echoed through the valley, and the golden aura permeating the air surged and responded violently, as if celebrating the birth and return of a new dragon warrior.

……

Over the next few days, Lin Che gave Ya Zi enough time to fully stabilize his new realm and familiarize himself with his surging power and newly awakened supernatural abilities.

Once one's breath is completely harmonious and internalized, and can be controlled at will, then...

Following the instructions in the "Five Saints Blood Pact Spirit Forging Secret Chapter," Lin Che formally formed a blood pact with this newly joined dragon companion, corresponding to the "metal" element.

Once the blood pact is formed, its profound mysteries are immediately revealed.

Lin Che felt a cool and sharp sensation in his lungs, as if an invisible yet extremely pure Geng metal spiritual energy was being drawn in and began to spontaneously temper his entire body's skin and fur system.

The skin becomes denser and tougher, and the fine hairs subtly reveal a sharp edge, subtly enhancing the overall defense.

This is just the initial benefit of a single-line blood pact.

Since he had not yet found a suitable earth-attribute spirit beast to form a blood pact with, and thus could not complete the five elements cycle, Lin Che was not in a hurry.

He was no longer in a hurry for water-attribute spirit beasts.

The plan is to wait for a third-tier Cangming Jiaolong with sufficiently pure bloodline to be born in the Cangming Jiaolong clan, and then use the power of the system to help it advance to the next tier and transform into a dragon. At that time, a contract will be formed to complete the "water" element.

As luck would have it, not long after he began to ponder this matter, he received some news.

The partner of the Cangming Jiao Clan Chief is pregnant!

This surprised Lin Che; he hadn't expected the old man to be so "vigorous in his old age."

His son has been causing trouble for years, but there's still no sign of offspring.

After its bloodline advanced, its breeding cycle should have been longer, but good news came first.

After finishing his routine cultivation and spirit beast patrol for the day, Lin Che was preparing to leave the secret realm and head to check on the condition of the "pregnant" Cangming Jiao.

As the sword light flashed and swept across the vast surface of Shattered Star Lake, his gaze inadvertently swept over a huge, dark black sun-drying rock in the center of the lake.

On the rock, a dark shadow as steady as a mountain lay quietly, which was the old patriarch of the Fujiang Crocodile Turtle clan.

It stretched out its thick neck, raised its huge head slightly, and stared blankly at the distant clouds and rosy clouds in the sky with its weathered yet gentle tortoise eyes.

Lin Che's sword-wielding figure paused involuntarily.

Upon careful reflection, it seems that the old patriarch of the alligator snapping turtle clan had been in this "dazed" state for several months.

Aside from necessary eating, cultivation, and occasionally handling some clan affairs, it spends most of its time lying alone on this sun-drying rock, quietly gazing at the sky.

Its expression was blank, quite different from its usual cheerful and carefree nature.

This unusual situation aroused Lin Che's curiosity and a hint of concern.

With a thought, he deflected his sword and landed lightly on the edge of the huge sun-drying rock, standing not far from the old patriarch.
