After Dana ate each of the Blaze Wyrm's carcases whole, until nothing but the largest and toughest bones of the Blaze Wyrm's remained, she entered a deep slumber, as her body is continuously ingesting the Qi within the flesh of the Blaze Wyrm's.
A few days quickly past within the volcano and without notice Dana's cultivation finally broke through into the First Rank of Xiantian, which as a result entering a new cultivation realm, her body once again went through a rapid growth spurt until her body reached 53ft in length, in addition, her whole body went through a qualitative change, as the Dragon Emperor Cultivation Method continuously circulated throughout her body, it rapidly strengthened her entire body until it fully accommodated the new-found strength which a new cultivation realm brings.
Of course, Dana currently is unaware of this, as she slept soundly through the entire process, this continued until the last amount of Blaze wyrms was finally devoured within Dana's stomach.
Dana's reptilian eyes slowly opened as she gradually awoke.
Upon awakening Dana soon noticed her size once again has increased greatly, causing her to be astonished, thinking that this may be linked to her cultivation...
Dana inspected the changes of her body, causing Dana to shortly noticed that her cultivation has finally reached Rank 1 Xiantian!
This caused no small amount of joy for Dana which felt like a great amount of weight was lifted off her shoulders, as she became one step closer in having the sufficient means to protect herself from the potential dangers within the Secret Realm.
Of course, this not only applied to the Secret Realm but the Xinghai Continent in the long run, but as that was still a fair bit of distance away, for now, Dana set her sights on getting through the Secret Realm, and retrieving as many benefits as possible whilst doing so!
Thinking back to how she received the Blaze Wyrm's bloodline, Dana closed her eyes beginning to sense the Fire Qi within her surroundings, quickly Dana found that it is much easier to manipulate than usual, feeling the abundant Fire Qi around her, Dana decided this would be the perfect place for cultivation for her.
Due to there being around a month before the Secret Realm begins, there should be plenty of time for Dana to absorb the Fire Wyrm cores, not to mention ever since integrating with the Blaze Wyrm's bloodline, rather than her previous thoughts on returning to the Elemental Sect after she received the Blaze Wyrm's bloodline, she instead decided to stay and remain in closed-door practice, as her former irritable feelings on remaining in this place have disappeared, instead becoming nothing but pleasant feelings.
In fact, Dana felt that this place was built for her as if it was her domain for the sole purpose for her to rule within.
Having such feelings for this place has made Dana realise exactly why the Blaze Wyrms never wanted to leave, as it was simply the perfect place for fire attributed spirit beasts, as it made them the apex predators within but alas even having an environment this advantageous towards you, in the end, it is useless if a more formidable beast came with a much stronger bloodline.
This is perfectly shown by Dana, as even as a beast of the Ice Attribute, being completely out of her comfort zone upon entering such an environment, still slaughtered the Blaze Wyrm's regardless of them being here.
Demonstrating exactly why when it comes to spirit beasts, having a strong bloodline is essential.
Shaking her head to remove these thoughts, Dana decided to check her new stats upon receiving the Blaze Wyrm bloodline.

Upon seeing her new stats made Dana become very pleased at seeing her progression improve once again, making her closer towards her goal into becoming a True Dragon, the only thing which she felt slight disappointment against is her soul cultivation, as recently Dana had bottleneck within her soul cultivation, but the system quickly mentioned this was completely normal as it is much more difficult to advance within compared to Qi and Body cultivation.
Dana felt frustrated she does not have the opportunity to make use of her powerful soul, as a result, of the martial techniques of the soul being too expensive for her to purchase at the moment, in addition to soul techniques being exceedingly rare, with not even any of the sects within the Xinghai Continent in possession of one, except for the Heavenly Noble Sect, but this technique was likely the most basic of techniques, otherwise it would have long been stolen by one of the 'Righteous' sects becoming greedy of a Tier 3 Sect possessing such technique, making Dana currently not able to make use of her soul cultivation at this moment in time.
But, at least by cultivating her soul it sets a foundation for the future, as her soul cultivation method is still very good and is much more advanced than the one which the Sect Master of the Heavenly Noble Sect currently uses.
Of course, this is only a soul cultivation technique to cultivate the soul, not a martial technique which could be used as a method of attack, which is what Dana desires.
Putting this within the back of the mind, Dana decided to use this month to the fullest in improving her cultivation.
Fishing through the bones of the five Blaze Wyrm's she soon found each of their cores, each of them filled brimming with energy.
Before using the cores, Dana decided to search through the Blaze Wyrm's dens, as she previously heard spirit beasts keep each of their treasure within their lairs, so there must be some goodies here which can be of use for her.
Searching through the den, she soon found a pile of all sorts of treasures, many were fire attributed herbs which grew within the rich environment of Fire Qi, in addition to the treasures of many cultivators which died here.
'It seemed many tried their luck to kill these Blaze Wyrm's, but none succeeded', she thought as she pocketed a large number of spirit stones, weapons and even a few pills which had not much use for her.
As Dana storage ring was pretty large nothing was spared, as even if she couldn't use it, she could easily sell it or trade it for some other stuff which may be useful for her.
Not to mention dragons do love their treasure, after all, she especially appreciated the shiny things present among the Blaze Wyrm's treasures.
Deciding that she will definitely go robbing a few people after this for some more treasure, the curse which plagues Dragons has seemingly awoken within Dana as she stared at the treasures within her storage ring with the exact same look a man would give towards a beautiful woman stood naked in front of them.
The system upon seeing Dana spacing out for a long time, alongside with such a creepy look on her face finally couldn't help it any more and its cynical voice sounded within Dana's head awakening her from her daze.
[Host, maybe you should stop staring at the treasures and cultivate, as you have been standing there looking like a perverted old man for the last ten minutes.]
With the system reminding her of the pressing time for her to cultivate, Dana took out all the cores and treasures which will benefit her cultivation from the treasures she received from the Blaze Wyrm's out of her storage ring, obviously with a reluctant look whilst doing so, making her final preparations before closed cultivation, Dana promptly began cultivating within the volcano.
