1. The Sealed Truth
Lin Ye stood before the black stone tablet, his gaze cold and heavy.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMXHKVZp9w
He took a deep breath, suppressing the fury surging in his chest. His eyes swept across the surrounding space and suddenly noticed a concealed stone cabinet in the corner of the wall.
As he approached, he saw that it was a hidden compartment half-embedded into the stone wall, covered in dust and array patterns. With a tap of his fingertip, his true essence condensed into a sword, gently slicing through the seal. A soft click echoed, and the stone door creaked open slightly. A stench, both ancient and bloody, rushed out toward him.
Inside, several yellowed jade slips and scrolls were neatly arranged, along with a few crystal recording stones glowing with spiritual light. Lin Ye’s eyes narrowed as he took them out one by one, sending his divine sense into them.
As the spiritual light flickered, lines of text appeared before his eyes. They were—internal research logs from the Bloodline Research Department of the Tianyuan Sect!
2. Research Log · Volume One
[Experiment No. D1-017]
Objective: Extract genetic elements from the “Spirit Serpent Bloodline” and attempt fusion with Wind and Thunder elemental roots.
Result: Failed. Initial fusion showed some affinity with spiritual energy, but due to severe bloodline rejection, the subject’s meridians ruptured and they died.
Conclusion: Serpent bloodlines are not compatible with Wind and Thunder attributes. Further screening of suitable bloodlines is required.
Note: Seventeenth test subject, time of death: seventy-nine breaths after bloodline injection.
Lin Ye’s fingers clenched involuntarily.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBNwEVaNcz
This was just the first entry, and its contents were already enough to chill the heart.
He kept reading, entry after entry, as if flipping through a butcher’s notebook straight from hell—
3. The Hell of Bloody Experiments
[Experiment No. D3-042]
Objective: Fuse “Crimson Flame Spirit Fox” and “Nether Bat King” bloodlines to test the stability of dual fire and shadow attributes.
Result: Partial success. Subject briefly exhibited fire-shadow abilities after fusion, but became extremely unstable mentally, showing signs of spiritual disarray and self-harm. Ultimately went berserk and exploded.
Conclusion: Severe conflict between the two bloodlines’ spiritual nature. Mental control mechanisms need optimization.
Note: Subject No. D3-042, origin: Qinglan City, age fourteen.
Lin Ye’s knuckles turned white, fury burning in his chest like a wildfire.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTySG09A6N7
He had endured poverty and conflict growing up, but never had he seen such cruelty and inhuman behavior. These people—young lives who should have been cultivating among mountains and rivers, freely existing under heaven and earth—were treated as test subjects, forcibly injected with bloodlines again and again, their bodies repeatedly disassembled, all for the sake of satisfying a few cultivators’ thirst for power?
Lin Ye gritted his teeth and muttered, “Lower than beasts…”
And then, in one particularly special record, he saw familiar words:
4. Research Log · Inverse Scale Bloodline
[Top Secret File]
Code: DLN-13
Experiment Name: Inverse Scale Bloodline Compatibility Project
Objective: Capture and control a host possessing the complete “Inverse Scale Bloodline,” extract its core spiritual elements, and use them to refine two ultimate products: the “Heavenbone Spirit Pill” and the “Dragonform Weapon Embryo.”
Description: This bloodline is extremely rare and is suspected to originate from the remnants of the ancient True Dragon race. It possesses exceptionally high regeneration and spiritual fusion capabilities, making it the ideal core for power.
Current Status: Ongoing search. A suspected compatible host appeared in the Qingshi Region. Features include black-gold dual pupils, faint dragon patterns, and a highly reactive devouring aura.
Next Phase: If the target is found, capture immediately. Do not damage core areas. Maintain integrity.
Lin Ye froze in place.
Black-gold pupils. Faint dragon patterns—233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyRD7AbwZO
That was him!
He suddenly realized why, ever since entering the Tianyuan Sect, he had constantly felt eyes watching him from the shadows; why the trials in the Blackstone Hall and Qingshi Region were so precisely orchestrated—233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnVs00KryL
It was all to confirm the bloodline he carried!
“I am no ‘compatible host’... and I am definitely not your material for pill forging or weapon crafting!”
He clenched his fists, and the demon energy and inverse scale power within him surged. Dragon patterns beneath his skin shimmered faintly, as if sensing the killing intent and hostility from outside—ready to awaken.
5. Warning and Choice
From one special recording stone, Lin Ye heard something different from the other cold, written entries—
A faint voice recording.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj8rr8w73k
A deep male voice spoke:
“…The Inverse Scale Project cannot fail. The Sect Master has ordered—if the bloodline cannot be fully controlled, then it must be refined as a weapon source. Better destroyed than fallen into another’s hands.”
Murderous intent flared in Lin Ye’s eyes.
He finally understood: behind this pursuit and research was not just a hunger for power, but a greater conspiracy among the upper ranks of the Tianyuan Sect.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsutrPR6Vho
They were no longer cultivators—they were butchers and priests, mad for strength.
“These people… deserve death.”
He slowly stood, gathering all the jade slips and recording stones into his robe, ready to leave the chamber. But just as he turned—
A crimson array lit up deep within the chamber—
“Core data transfer detected. Self-destruction alert triggered. Lockdown initiated. Countdown commencing.”
Lin Ye’s heart tightened.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu3mFAfJ0n
“Damn!”
6. Epilogue · Killing Intent Descends
He dashed toward the exit, but from the stone steps above, a cold, thunderous voice rang out, echoing like a bell and filled with undeniable pressure:
“Intruders of the vault are to be killed without mercy.”
A figure in a golden robe descended like a shooting star into the chamber.
His gaze was icy cold, and the golden-patterned robe behind him billowed in the air.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGGtWSfv7c
He was one of the Tianyuan Sect’s high elders—Elder Yan Wuxiang of the Golden Robe.
Lin Ye took a deep breath, his gaze sharp as blades.233Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt3KyLzBlW
“Perfect timing.”
