The Essence Blood swirled in his palm.
Under the control of the Blood Dao Laws, the Dragon Blood let out a long cry and writhed, still showing faint signs of struggling free.
âWhat a ferocious specimen!â
After toying with it for a moment, Qin Yang nodded in satisfaction. He didnât plan on merging with it right away.
After all, this drop of Dragon Blood was incredibly savage.
And while the major injuries in his body had healed, his qi and blood were still somewhat depleted; he was not in his peak state.
If he rashly absorbed this Essence Blood, he feared he wouldnât be able to withstand the pressure. The savage aura contained within the Dragon Blood would destroy his meridians, and the gain wouldnât be worth the loss.
âIâd better put it away for now and absorb it once Iâve stabilized.â
With this thought in mind, Qin Yang withdrew the Dragon Blood back into his body. He suddenly recalled the Beast God mentioning the True Dragon Dharma Aspect, and his mood inevitably grew heavy again.
âThis Beast God really lives up to his reputation as a being whoâs lived for over a thousand years...â
âHeâs just too damn hard to kill.â
The Blood Sea Dharma Aspect is inherently formless and traceless.
Coupled with the Beast Godâs mastery of the Blood Dao Laws, which had reached the pinnacle of perfection, he could teleport at will within his Domain and revive himself tens of thousands of times.
How could anyone possibly kill that?
It was practically an Undying and Undying Body!
With his current methods, aside from temporarily trapping him, he had no other Dharma Gate to exterminate him.
âNo wonder the seniors of the Venerable Alliance went through so much trouble only to end up sealing him away.â
Thinking of this, Qin Yang sighed helplessly and revealed the Star Mark on his palm.
This battle had shown him the power of the Star Array.
But it still wasnât enough...
After all, the power of the Star Array was directly linked to the Martial Artists who had condensed the Star Marks. It had taken all the Innate Realm experts in Jianghai just to raise him to the Middle Stage of Celestial Venerable.
âLooks like Iâll have to find a chance in the next few days to arrange some special training for everyone.â
Qin Yangâs thoughts raced as he mulled over his future plans.
The Human Race in Jianghai City was weak. They needed a *billion* points of special training to get Elder Li and the others to a higher Realm as soon as possible.
If everyone in Jianghai City reached the Grandmaster Realm or even the Venerable Realm,
then as the beneficiary of the Star Array, wouldnât he soar directly to the Peak?
Reaching the Late Stage of Celestial Venerable Realm?!
âThatâs something to look forward to.â
Qin Yangâs heart yearned for it as he imagined the scene.
Just as he was lost in thought,
TAP, TAP, TAP...
footsteps sounded from outside the door.
They were faintly accompanied by anxious arguing.
"Teacher, Senior Brother just woke up. Itâs really not a good time..."
"Itâs fine, itâs fine. Weâll just take a look. We wonât disturb him for long. Weâll leave after we confirm his condition."
"This isnât a good idea..."
"..."
Qin Yang frowned slightly. âHm?â He sent his Spiritual Power out to investigate and found that it was Elder Li and the others.
Before the sounds of their argument had faded,
CREAKâ
the door was pushed open.
"..."
Qin Yang composed himself and looked at them. "What are you all doing here?"
Outside the door, everyone had arrived. Li Qinghe carried a long gift box, while Elder Li held a small, palm-sized one. Every single person was holding gifts of various sizes.
"Iâm sorry, Senior Brother. I couldnât stop them."
Li Zixuan stood to the side, looking at Qin Yang apologetically, her face full of guilt. "When Elder Li and the others found out you were awake, they insisted on coming. I told them you needed to rest, Senior Brother."
"Xuanxuan, what are you talking about? We just came to take a look."
Elder Li smiled as he carried a gift box to the bedside. "Young Friend Qin," he said warmly, "how are you resting? Inside here is a Spirit Medicine I had someone find especially for you. What do you think?"
As he spoke, the others also took out their gift boxes and set them down.
In just a short while,
get-well gifts of all sizes were piled up. Ginseng, snow fungus... All sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures filled the room, making the air fragrant.
"Thank you for your trouble, everyone."
Qin Yang nodded, got up, and slipped his feet into his slippers. "Iâve troubled you all."
"Itâs nothing. Senior Brother, youâve contributed so much to Jianghai. You deserve to be rewarded."
Li Zixuan spoke softly, then turned to Elder Li and the others and began shooing them out. "Alright, the gifts have been delivered. Everyone should head back early. Donât disturb Senior Brotherâs rest."
"..."
Elder Li was speechless. He was reluctant to leave, but he couldnât win against her.
He turned to leave.
"In that case, Iâll just..."
"Wait!"
Seeing this, Qin Yang spoke up. "It wasnât easy for everyone to make the trip. Thereâs no need to leave in such a hurry."
As his voice fell,
Elder Li and the others turned back in pleasant surprise.
"Young Friend Qin, do you have any other instructions for us?"
"Yes, youâve come at the perfect time." After a moment of contemplation, Qin Yang spoke slowly, "Iâd like to ask your opinion on something."
"Your opinion?"
Although Elder Li didnât understand, he still took a step back, closed the door, and said solemnly, "Rest assured, Young Friend Qin. Not a word of this will get out."
"Ahem."
Then, under everyoneâs focused gaze, Qin Yang cleared his throat and enunciated each word clearly:
"Everyone, are any of you interested... in joining the Heaven-Blasting Gang?"
As his voice fell,
the room instantly fell silent.
Everyone was instantly dumbfounded.
"J-join the Heaven-Blasting Gang?"
Elder Liâs eyes widened instantly. He muttered the words, unable to stop himself from exchanging a glance with Lin Mofeng. They could both see the shock in each otherâs eyes.
These days, the Heaven-Blasting Gang wasnât just famous in Jianghai; it was becoming famous nationwide.
This was a supreme honor!
It was filled with Venerable Realm experts.
And they, a bunch of Innate Grandmasters, could join too?!
"Young Friend Qin, are you serious?" Elder Li asked hesitantly.
"Elder Li, if you donât believe me..."
Qin Yang squinted and smiled. "Then you can also choose not to join."
"No, absolutely not! Iâll join! Thank you, Young... Young Master, for your grace!"
Without a second thought, Elder Li was the first to nod and agree. "From this day forward, I am willing to serve the Heaven-Blasting Gang like a loyal dog or horse! Iâll be there whenever you call!"
The moment he finished speaking,
the others also rushed to speak up, ecstatic and afraid that Qin Yang would change his mind. Only Liu Wushuangâs mouth twitched as he watched the boisterous scene, his feelings quite complicated.
He remembered how he had paid a huge price to join the Heaven-Blasting Gang!
But now, Elder Li and the others were getting in just like that?
So...
the Heaven-Blasting Gang had a special discount for Jianghai locals, huh?!
"Alright,"
"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, all of you who came to visit me today will be considered members of the Heaven-Blasting Gang."
Qin Yang smiled and nodded, then reached out and revealed the Heart of Law.
An exquisitely transparent heart appeared.
The moment it left his hand,
a dense Power of Laws spread out, instantly refreshing the minds and spirits of everyone present. It was as if a gentle breeze had blown past, making their pores tingle with comfort. Faintly, they seemed to feel the vibrations of the Law.
"This is the ultimate treasure of my Heaven-Blasting Gang."
"The Heart of Law."
Cradling the Heart of Law, Qin Yangâs gaze swept across the faces of everyone present as he enunciated each word, "It can easily help people comprehend the mysteries of the Laws. Originally, only the future Gang Leader was allowed to use it..."
As he spoke, Qin Yang smiled, his face illuminated by the treasureâs crystalline light:
"But now that the Beast God has escaped and is not yet dead, Jianghai City is in a special period. Therefore, I have decided... that all members of the Heaven-Blasting Gang may comprehend the Heart of Law!"
