After Lin Fei's proclamation, Great Chang became tranquil.

Three days passed, and Lin Fei personally took action, sweeping the entirety of Great Chang with his Perfect Saber Domain. He killed three Golden Core cultivators and two Martial Sovereigns, all of whom had tried to hide using special techniques. They thought Lin Fei wouldn't find them, but within his Saber Domain, their hiding tactics were utterly useless.

"They're too weak," Lin Fei muttered, feeling that both the Golden Core cultivators and Martial Sovereigns were powerless before him. "At the level of Golden Core and Martial Sovereign, I am invincible."

Given his perfected Saber Domain and six peak-level Divine Abilities, even in the vast Ancient Continent, Lin Fei considered himself unrivaled among Martial Sovereigns. However, he couldn't leave yet. He had to ensure no other Martial Sovereign or Golden Core cultivator would dare come from the Ancient Continent.

In the meantime, Lin Fei was also cultivating his Divine Abilities. His sixth Divine Ability Pierce had transcended but progressed slowly. To hasten its development, Lin Fei decided to hunt powerful sea beasts and use his Pierce Divine Ability on them. With every beast he penetrated, his proficiency with the skill surged.

Over a span of three months, Lin Fei's Pierce Divine Ability reached perfection. During this time, some Martial Sovereigns and Golden Core cultivators ventured from the Ancient Continent, but Lin Fei showed no mercy. As word of Lin Fei's decree spread further, Great Chang would finally know true peace.

Lin Fei had no immediate plans to return to the Ancient Continent. Even though his six Divine Abilities were perfected, he believed he couldn't breach the protective formation of Taiyi Dao Palace. Besides, with the Divine Ability scriptures within the Dubhe Dao Artifact, he didn't need to collect more Divine Abilities.

At this moment, he returned to where Qing Yuzi had sealed the Azure Flood Dragon King. This place had abundant Jade Liquid, which could be used as energy to accelerate time within the Dubhe Dao Artifact. Lin Fei intended to cultivate his seventh Divine Ability and he might need this temporal acceleration.

Seeing Lin Fei arrive, the Azure Flood Dragon King roared furiously, "Dubhe's Master, have you perfected your sixth Divine Ability?"

Lin Fei looked at the Azure Flood Dragon King, wondering what it wanted to say, then replied, "It's perfected. What do you want?"

The Azure Flood Dragon King said, "I am aware of your six peak-level Divine Abilities. It's evident that you aim to establish a groundbreaking Martial King bloodline. But even with your six Divine Abilities, you still need three more to achieve your goal. Who can be certain they will succeed in mastering all nine?"

The Dragon King's eyes glittered with mischief. "I have a method that will allow you to achieve the status of Martial King without mastering all nine. This method will bestow upon you a bloodline the likes of which have never been seen before."

Lin Fei's gaze sharpened, skeptical. He knew how challenging it was to cultivate these Divine Abilities. Even for him, despite his talent, perfecting his abilities required relentless effort and time. How could the Azure Flood Dragon King possibly have an easier way?

Seeing Lin Fei's disbelief, the Dragon King's eyes flashed with madness. "I am the Azure Flood Dragon King, the king of exotic beasts! In comparison to your Martial Sovereigns, I am at the peak of Martial Kings!"

"The reason you Martial Sovereigns cultivate Divine Abilities is because your human potential is limited. You rely on the power of these Divine Abilities to bolster your strength. Once all nine are combined, you birth the Martial King bloodline, achieving the Martial King status," he elaborated. "If the problem is the lack of potential in the human body, then there is a solution. We exotic beasts possess vast potential. If I transplant half of my bloodline into you, then you combine it with your six peak-level Divine Abilities, and your human body, you would naturally produce a new Martial King bloodline.

Moreover, I possess traces of true dragon blood within me. Sharing half with you would equate to the power of at least five peak-level Divine Abilities. Combined with your six, you'd have the equivalent of eleven peak-level Divine Abilities! Imagine a bloodline born from the fusion of eleven peak-level Divine Abilities. It would be superior to one fused from nine. Such a bloodline would undoubtedly be more potent. You'd easily ascend to the status of Martial King!"

Lin Fei was shocked.

"Bloodline transplants are possible? One doesn't need to adhere to a set path to cultivate a Divine Ability?"

Lin Fei found it hard to believe. Such a method was unheard of in his world.

The Azure Flood Dragon King sneered, "You truly are ignorant. Heh, you could consult the Spirit of Dubhe. He knows even more than I do. You might doubt my words, but surely you'd trust the Spirit of Dubhe?"

Without any hesitation, Lin Fei summoned the Spirit of Dubhe.

"Spirit, did you hear the Azure Flood Dragon King's words? Is it truly possible to transplant a bloodline and attain the rank of Martial King?" Lin Fei inquired directly.

The Spirit of Dubhe nodded, "Master, indeed it's possible to transplant a bloodline and rise to the status of Martial King. The Azure Flood Dragon King did not deceive you. However, the conditions for a successful transplant are stringent, beyond the reach of most."

Lin Fei's heart raced, yet he restrained his surging emotions, pressing on, "What exacting conditions?"

"To transplant a bloodline, one must first possess the bloodline of a Martial King or that of a King-level exotic beast. Furthermore, the one fusing must have a potent Divine Ability. If not, the bloodline would dominate the host, leading potentially to a violent demise.

Lastly, and most challenging, whether it's the Martial King's blood or that of a royal-tiered exotic beast, there must be a voluntary separation of a portion of the bloodline. Once the bloodline separates and fuses with a Martial Sovereign, a new bloodline emerges. This new lineage can then suppress the original Martial King's or royal-tiered exotic beast's bloodline. And this suppression persists generation after generation."

Lin Fei quickly assessed the situation. The first two conditions seemed surmountable. The crux lay in the third: a voluntary separation. Such a deed was daunting. By voluntarily separating, generations upon generations, all descendants, would essentially become the servant of the one they merged with. After all, with their bloodline suppressed, what else could they be but servants?

"So, Azure Flood Dragon King," Lin Fei, lifting his gaze, asked, "are you willing to separate a part of your bloodline to merge with me?"
