"Gu Yuehong, you need to understand that, as far as I know, you no longer have the chance to evolve into the more precious bloodline of the Golden Dragon. Among dragons, the Red Dragon isn't bad, so how do you plan to evolve?" Wei Chen asked seriously, looking intently at Gu Yuehong.
Gu Yuehong narrowed his eyes and replied, "That's right, I indeed have no chance to evolve into the Golden Dragon King. After all, that kind of bloodline isn't something one can easily possess. But I can evolve into a dragon with combat power comparable to that of a Golden Dragon, or even stronger. As long as I can drink your blood—eleven cups—and in just a few years, I will be able to evolve into that kind of formidable dragon!"
"How much will your combat power increase?" Wei Chen quickly inquired.
"It won't be too high because of the constraints of the Soul World. I have already reached the peak state within the Soul World; I can't become stronger. However, if I succeed in evolving, I will gain some powerful innate skills. Once I reach a higher-level Spatial Plane, my cultivation speed will also increase significantly."
Gu Yuehong gazed deeply at Wei Chen and continued, "Demon Lotus Emperor, don't you want me to follow you as your enforcer? In this world, it doesn't matter; I can handle anything. But if we go to another world where my cultivation speed is several times faster, it would be a great help to you, wouldn't it?"
"That sounds about right, but you should at least tell me what kind of form you can evolve into."
Hearing this, Gu Yuehong pondered for a moment and said, "This was supposed to be my secret, but since you are the Demon Lotus Emperor, it's fine to share it with you. My bloodline contains a trace of the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon's power. As long as I encounter suitable catalysts, I can gradually evolve until my Red Dragon constitution transforms into that of an Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon. By then, my combat power will surpass that of a Golden Dragon."
"Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon? What is that?"
"It's a very rare bloodline, even more precious than that of a Golden Dragon. Once the bloodline of the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon awakens, one becomes a taboo existence among dragons and will be hunted down by all dragons." Gu Yuehong's expression was calm, as if it were something unrelated to him.
"Hunted down? Then why do you still want to evolve?" Wei Chen was puzzled; that path was clearly a dead end. Gu Yuehong wasn't foolish enough to seek his own demise.
Gu Yuehong hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't want to live an unremarkable life anymore. Being hunted down is something that would happen after returning to Huaxia. The hope of going back lies entirely with you; I'm not considering returning for now. When the time comes that I can truly go back, I don't care what awaits me. All I want is peak strength! The Red Dragon is of the fire attribute; although its combat power is decent, it can never become the overlord among dragons. The Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon is an overlord-level existence—think about it: if it weren't formidable, how could all dragons unite to hunt it down?"
"Even if I'm hunted down, it proves my strength and value. Even if I die in the end, leaving behind a glorious page in dragon history would be enough. In the Hua Xia World, there are already very few dragons left; whether or not I'll be hunted down is uncertain. Perhaps by then there won't be a Golden Dragon King ruling over dragons, and I might just become the new ruler by chance?"
"Fortune favors the bold," he said with conviction. "I am willing to give it a try. Demon Lotus Emperor, I hope you'll support me. In my previous life following you, although I didn't achieve great military exploits, I dedicated myself wholeheartedly until death."
Gu Yuehong looked earnestly at Wei Chen, his eyes filled with eagerness.
Seeing that expression made it hard for Wei Chen to refuse.
However, this was a significant matter; he couldn't afford to be careless.
"Gu Yuehong, can you really evolve into that kind of bloodline?"
"I can't be a hundred percent sure, but I can only try my best. Your blood is the best medium; it can awaken potential and contains the precious properties of the Demon Lotus. If I hadn't encountered the approachable Demon Lotus Emperor II, I wouldn't even dare to consider this. If it were the previous Demon Lotus Emperor, suggesting such a request would have led to my immediate demise."
Gu Yuehong's sincerity was evident in her earnest gaze as she fixed her eyes on Wei Chen.
Wei Chen forced a smile and said, "So, while I'm still weak, you can exchange your help for my blood. Once I become powerful, your assistance will be optional, right?"
After pondering for a moment, Gu Yuehong nodded and replied, "That's about right. If I successfully evolve, with your Demon Lotus potency within me, I won't betray any of your intentions. Even if I don't succeed in evolving and only awaken some abilities of the Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon, it would still be greatly beneficial for me. It could be said that until you become a true Demon Lotus Emperor, relying on your blood will be very helpful for me."
"Alright, eleven cups of blood, I'll give them to you!" Wei Chen was moved by Gu Yuehong's determination and agreed to her request without hesitation, immediately offering her a cup of his blood to drink.
Watching the cold-faced youth gulp down his blood with an expression of lingering satisfaction made Wei Chen feel somewhat frustrated.
"Why has my blood suddenly become so desirable? That Ji Mei woman also came after it; my blood must be something special..."
After drinking Wei Chen's blood, Gu Yuehong produced a sparkling crystal block that emitted a unique aura and handed it to Wei Chen. "This is a spirit stone. You can drop your blood on it to refine and absorb it, gaining the formations contained within. I found this from a Formation Master in Hua Xia World; it encompasses countless formations."
"Great! I'll try it right now."
Wei Chen took the spirit stone, bit his finger to draw blood, and in an instant, the spirit stone shattered with a loud crack.
A flood of information surged into Wei Chen's mind, overwhelming him with sensations that felt almost unbearable.
Once he deciphered the information, Wei Chen exclaimed in delight, "These are indeed formations! Damn, they're exquisite! It's hard to imagine that such intricate formations exist in this world!"
Compared to the formations Han Mang had given him, Gu Yuehong's formations excelled in their intricacy. While they weren't particularly difficult to set up, some clever variations transformed their nature dramatically, making them exceptionally advanced.
It took Wei Chen two full hours to sort through all the information contained within the spirit stone and commit it to memory.
The number of formations recorded in the spirit stone was not large—only a little over a hundred—especially when compared to the thousands documented in Han Mang's Soul Jade. However, Wei Chen could sense that despite their smaller quantity, their quality was significantly higher!
Any low-level formation within the Spirit Stone is far superior to the Ninth-Rank Formation or even the Tenth-Rank Formation of the Soul World!
The things from the Hua Xia World are inherently better than anything from the Soul World by countless times. However, formations are different; creating a powerful formation requires the arranger to possess strong abilities and on-the-spot manipulation skills. The formations within the Spirit Stone, arranged by Wei Chen, may not be particularly strong due to his limited power. But if a Great Being from the Hua Xia World were to arrange them, their strength would be as formidable as that of a devouring force.
Thus, the formations within the Spirit Stone, when arranged by Wei Chen, would not be overly powerful.
The most crucial reason is that setting up those formations requires the unique Spirit Stones and spiritual energy found only in the Hua Xia World. In the Soul World, these cannot be found and must be replaced with Soul Stones and Soul Power, which significantly diminishes their effectiveness and loses the essence of the formations.
Such formations cannot compare with those from the Hua Xia World.
Wei Chen quickly understood all of this. His face lit up with joy; he felt no discouragement at all. No matter how inadequate they might be, they were still better than the formations Han Mang had given him.
"Gu Yuehong, you go ahead and continue monitoring while I try out a few formations."
"You've grasped those formations so quickly? Aren't formations supposed to be the hardest to master?" Gu Yuehong asked in surprise.
"Have you forgotten? I am the Demon Lotus Successor."
"No, even the Demon Lotus Emperor himself would take a considerable amount of time to learn formations. He faced difficulties with formations back in the Hua Xia World and eventually gave up trying to learn them. For you to grasp them so quickly is nothing short of a miracle."
Gu Yuehong looked at Wei Chen, thinking that this new Demon Lotus Emperor was indeed a genius with formations. If he were to return to the Hua Xia World, his abilities would surely shine through; he would undoubtedly be incredibly powerful.
A formidable Formation Master could trap the Golden Dragon King and make even the Demon Lotus Emperor suffer greatly—Gu Yuehong had seen enough of that.
Hearing Gu Yuehong's words, Wei Chen was astonished. "So you're saying my understanding of formations has nothing to do with the Demon Lotus Emperor?"
"It has nothing to do with the previous life of the Demon Lotus Emperor. You are the reincarnation of him; you are now the new Demon Lotus Emperor. You surpass your predecessor in skill, and your future may very well be stronger than his."
A sense of joy suddenly welled up within Wei Chen.
"The Demon Lotus Emperor didn't understand formations, yet I find them incredibly simple and intuitive. This means I have certain advantages compared to the previous Demon Lotus Emperor."
"Am I really the Demon Lotus Emperor? Perhaps not. I have no memory of those things, and the Demon Lotus residing in my soul hasn't given me those memories. It must not be due to a lack of ability, but rather because it simply doesn't want to."
"So, what is its purpose? I am still myself, not the Demon Lotus Emperor. Throughout this journey, even though the Demon Lotus has been assisting me at every turn, it hasn't affected my thoughts at all; I still possess my own independent thinking."
"Even my understanding of Huaxia has come from the words of others. Is all of this part of the Demon Lotus's scheme?"
"It calculated that I would be reborn in this body and placed so many helpers around me—Ni Junlin is one, Golden Dragon Maiden is another, Gu Yuehong is yet another... But it hasn't given me any memories. Could it be that it wants to let me act freely?"
"The stronger my power becomes, the more stable my soul is. The Demon Lotus will find it increasingly difficult to seize control of my body. It didn't take control when I was at my weakest; I can only assume it won't in the future either."
"Is it out of mercy, or does it simply lack the ability to transfer all the thoughts from my past life to me? Instead, it relies on the helpers it has placed around me to convey information and allow me to make my own choices?"
"Or perhaps it is merely a lifeless entity without its own soul. The previous Demon Lotus Emperor has already died, and this current Demon Lotus is just a powerful cultivation aid?"
As Wei Chen thought about this, clarity washed over him. The idea that his body control could be taken away, which had weighed heavily on his mind, slowly dissipated.
"Regardless, the Demon Lotus is my benefactor. Without it, I would be nothing!"
"Demon Lotus Emperor, since you have helped me so much, then I will do my utmost to help you fulfill your unfulfilled wishes!"
Wei Chen's eyes shone with determination. For the first time in his life, he placed himself in the role of the Demon Lotus Emperor.
In this world, the Demon Lotus Emperor no longer existed. What Wei Chen needed to do was not to become the Demon Lotus Emperor but to reciprocate and help the Demon Lotus Emperor complete his unfinished aspirations!
