I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Its aura is rising, its blood is boiling, and the ancient power hidden deep within its body is being awakened.

The next moment, its size began to slowly increase.

It's not a violent expansion, but rather a natural unfolding, like the growth of a plant.

His skin changed from light dark green to a deep cyan-gold, gleaming with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.

The number of woody, nodular protrusions on the back increased, and their arrangement became more regular, forming patterns like tree rings, giving it an ancient and weighty appearance.

The head became more majestic, the lower jaw protruded slightly, and the dragon whiskers on both sides of the mouth grew at a visible speed, eventually reaching three feet in length, swaying gently in the golden light like two living ribbons.

The golden light slowly dissipated.

The little green toad floated in the water, its body emitting a faint green light.

It looked down at its own body, then looked up at its surroundings, its eyes filled with disbelief.

【Green Catkins and Singing Toads】

Level: Mid-Tier 1.

Bloodline Rank: Fourth Rank, High Grade.

Attribute: Wood.

Bloodline Supernatural Powers:

1. [Top Grade] The bell tolls through the nine heavens.

He took a deep breath, his jaw bulged to its limit, and the ancient bell patterns on his back emitted a blue light, letting out a loud and far-reaching cry that soared into the sky.

Group Intimidation: All enemies within the range will be affected by the soul shock. At best, their movements will be slowed and their spells will be interrupted. At worst, they will bleed from all seven orifices. It is fatally effective against evil spirits and demonic cultivators and can directly shatter low-level ghosts.

Resonance of All Things: The cry can cause all the grass, vines, and flowers within a radius of several miles to resonate and grow, instantly making them tough, sharp, or active, forming natural plant traps or barriers to aid in battle.

Breaking Formations: Possesses extremely strong destructive power against formations and restrictions, and can disintegrate their structure through resonance.

2. [Superior Grade] The Dragon's Roar Breaks Through the Myriad Trees.

He compressed wood-attribute spiritual power and sound waves into a solid, cyan-gold beam of light, which he then expelled from his mouth.

This beam of light possesses both physical penetration and life-stripping properties: upon striking a target, it first uses sonic vibrations to destroy its internal structure, and then uses the power of the wood spirit to extract its life force.

3. [Top grade] Thousands of trees rejuvenate.

It emitted a deep, melodious hum, drawing upon the power of the wood spirit of heaven and earth, forming a pale golden healing rain of light with a diameter of a hundred feet around it.

Within the range of the light rain, friendly units' injuries heal at a visible speed, severed limbs regenerate, toxins are purified, and magical power and physical strength are rapidly restored.

4. [Medium Grade] Dragon Bell Armor.

The power of the wood spirit resonated with the bell-shaped bone plate on his back, condensing a semi-transparent energy shield on his body surface, shaped like the phantom of an ancient bell.

5. [Middle grade] Sound barrier.

Centered on itself, it releases a ring-shaped, high-frequency oscillating sound barrier that can persist for a period of time, isolating the transmission of sound from inside and outside.

Brief introduction: He possesses a trace of the bloodline of "Pulao", one of the nine sons of the ancient divine beast dragon. He can serve as a core support for the team or stand alone, crushing opponents with sound waves and the power of wood spirits.

All the spirit beasts watched this scene in shock.

Some stared wide-eyed, while others opened their mouths wide, unable to close them for a long time;

Some even forgot to breathe, their faces turning red from holding their breath.

They had never seen such a miraculous method.

It wasn't through years of cultivation, nor by consuming rare and precious materials, but rather a golden light that, in an instant, completed a transformation that they might never achieve in their entire lives.

Chief Qingpu Mingchan was only in shock for a moment before he quickly regained his senses.

It lowered its head, drooping deeply, its forehead almost touching the water's surface.

That posture was more sincere and humble than any words.

"I shouldn't have questioned the leader." Its voice contained guilt, gratitude, and an indescribable sense of awe.

"It's alright."

Lin Che waved his hand, his tone indifferent: "Take it to get used to its new body and new supernatural powers."

Chief Qingpu Mingchan nodded repeatedly, and led the little Qingpu Mingchan, who was still confused and had not yet fully adapted to its new body, slowly swimming towards the depths of the water.

The little guy wasn't quite used to swimming yet; its tail swung too wildly, and its body wobbled unsteadily, but its eyes were full of excitement.

The surrounding tribesmen immediately gathered around, asking questions and exclaiming in amazement. The lively scene brought life to the once quiet body of water.

After enhancing its bloodline, Lin Che did not stop.

He also made an exception and improved the bloodline of several female Qingpu toads that were in their breeding period.

After all, breeding takes time, and Lin Che still needs to prepare a top-quality wood-attribute spirit beast for Lin Xuanjing before she establishes her foundation.

Since ancient times, mythical beasts with dragon blood have possessed a special ability—to transform into dragons.

Once the dragon transformation is successful, one can elevate their bloodline to the highest level.

Based on previous experiments, the system's bloodline enhancement ability can help dragon beasts with dragon bloodlines complete their dragon transformation.

The Qingpu Mingchan clan is currently only a third-tier high-grade species, so Lin Che needs to upgrade them to the fourth tier first, so that they can produce offspring with fourth-tier bloodlines, and then the system can upgrade them.

After doing all this, Lin Che began to ask Chief Qingpu Mingchan about the war puppets.

"In the Misty Swamp, in the pool where you live, do you know what those enormous obsidian stones are all about?"

Chief Qingpu Mingchan paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

Its gaze became distant, as if piercing through the mists of time, returning to that night it didn't want to recall.

"I remember... it was about 28 years ago."

"Wait, 28 years ago?" Lin Che interrupted him immediately upon hearing this number.

His brows furrowed tightly, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

Because of the beast tide, Lin Che was exceptionally sensitive to time.

Twenty-eight years may not seem like a long time or a short time, but it represents something.

It has been exactly 28 years since Chuyang City was developed!

The Xuan Kui Sect, skilled in puppetry, was the one that pioneered Chuyang City!

Suppressing his suspicions, Lin Che said in a deep voice, "Continue."

Chief Qingpu Mingchan nodded and continued his story.

There was a hint of suppressed fear in that voice, as if that incident still made it tremble.

"I remember being affected by an energy at the time. All the tribes in Misty Swamp fell into a deep sleep, and when they awoke, those large rocks appeared in the pool."

Before losing consciousness, he thought his life was over, but who would have thought he just fell asleep.

It paused, then added, "I sensed that energy from afar through sound waves before it even arrived. Judging from its size, the one using that special ability must be human."

Lin Che remained silent.

But my heart was churning.

The puppet was indeed placed there by someone!

Fortunately, I didn't touch them, otherwise the puppet's owner might have noticed.

"The Mysterious Puppet Sect..."

All signs point to the Xuan Kui Sect.

The timing was just too coincidental.

The appearance of the puppets in Wuyinze coincided with the time when the Xuankui Sect began to expand into the Chuyang City area.

But what exactly are they trying to do by setting up so many war puppets outside the Great Wall?
