Chapter 28: Azure Dragon Spear
Even after spending the whole day forging Quasi-Earth items, Heifeng Jiansui did not feel the urge to sleep. From the beginning, due to his bloodline, the need for sleep and rest as quite low and after awakening his battle spirit, the desire to rest dropped lower. After all his training, he could operate at peak condition for a week before needing to sleep.
Heifeng Jiansui was continuously striking out with his fingers. An azure-green light flashed, melding water and wood to strike together. Fast, slight strikes, strong, piercing strikes, strikes designed to block, strikes containing ruinous might, strikes to seal acupoints… And all the strikes were filled with spear intent. The current Heifeng Jiansui was like a god of the spear, all traces of his sword cultivation were nonexistent!
While striking out, Heifeng Jiansui was using self-hypnotization to perfectly recollect the battle with the Five Sacred Demon Immortals.
In Heifeng Jiansui’s previous life, he rose to the apex of cultivation without any sort of backing. While he had the legacy of a Perpetual Sovereign, it was incomplete so he ended up being bullied by young masters of affluent sects. Never one to take a loss, Heifeng Jiansui usually ended up killing them, wiping out traces of his crimes and fleeing far away.
The battle with the Five Sacred Demon Immortal Sect was the last time this happened, as Heifeng Jiansui slaughtered these peak Dao Protectors of this Immortal grade Sect, stole their sacred manuals and treasures and even kidnapped their top female cultivators! A single cultivator destroyed a million year old legacy, striking fear and awe in the hearts of the world of cultivation!
“Those guys were Godbeasts with the perfect bloodline of their ancestors, even inheriting their ancient Dao… Even though they had weaker cultivation that me of that time, their five elemental formation that fused together their qi, essence and spirit together along with the divine abilities of their bloodlines coming together was enough to overwhelm me. Even though I slaughtered them while keeping their bodies largely untouched and transferred their bloodlines to myself and even though the transmission was perfect, I could use less than 10% or their combined power. Even after reading through their entire scripture palace, I didn’t find a method. I even violated those female disciples, but…” Remembering his gambit to steal a bloodline, Heifeng Jiansui fell into thought.
“Nevertheless, I still comprehended the entirety of their cultivation arts and even boosted the power level to 30% while understanding where I fell short. The truth is, even with peak bloodlines, a cultivator needs a divine beast body with innate Daoscripts to show their complete might. After piecing together and combining clues from the scriptures of the sect, I created a technique to create innate Daoscripts on the body. I killed four more Godbeasts of wind, thunder, darkness and light elements, fused their bloodlines within myself, caused a Heavenly Tribulation to fall, and gained a divine beast body that was the first and the only in the world, the Nineprime Divine Body!” This incident allowed him to comprehend the Nine Supreme Dao and use them as the supporting pillars for his Sword Dao!
With all his preparations to cast his mortal body into a divine body, Heifeng Jiansui reached the apex of understanding bloodlines. Having clashed with a true Azure Dragon and even killing and snatching his bloodline, Heifeng Jiansui could certainly create a technique for Qinglan Weiwei to become an Azure Dragon as well.
“The most important thing is the Body Transformation realm. Since this is something that never existed in my past life, I have to tread carefully. But one thing is sure, this cultivation realm is created by Nineorigin’s desire for the strength of the world’s cultivators to rapidly rise!” The World Will Nineorigin had gained sapience due to Heifeng Jiansui’s sacrifice. While recreating the world, she even destroyed and recreated the cultivation realms along with the Dao.
This was undoubtedly useful, as cultivators of this era inherited some or the other kind of bloodline from their ancestors. These bloodlines acted as foundations for casting divine bodies, and these stronger cultivators would breed together to form children with higher baselines.

“If someone wanted to inherit the body of a Godbeast like this, it would take nearly a hundred eras of careful breeding for a body to appear by luck, but if it is me, I can certainly guide Qinglan Weiwei to become a true Azure Dragon!” This wasn’t restricted to only her. He would certainly guide his maids to become fearsome Godbeasts whose might would shake the era!
The laws that the Azure Dragon was born with was completely seen through by Heifeng Jiansui. The essence of the techniques granted by Qinglan Weiwei’s bloodline was also seen through by his godly perception. So, all he needed to do was draw out their advantages, suppress their disapdvantages and create a peerless technique for Qinglan Weiwei!
Heifeng Jiansui suddenly gained an insight and completed the technique within his heart. And now cam e the process of writing it down.
From his spatial ring, a large amount of strange items came out. Dragonwhisker brush, Dragonskin paper, solidified blood of an Azure Dragon, the gallstone of a Azure Dragonsnake… All these items were purchased by Heifeng Jiansui from the mission plaza.
Creating techniques was easy for Heifeng Jiansui, so the biggest problem was transmitting them without loss. While jade slips were an easy answer, it was difficult to transfer Dao laws via it. Thus, he had to write them down in scripture form.
Using the solidified blood as a inkstick, Heifeng Jiansui steadily grinded it to create a blue ink. After filling up a small bottle’s worth of it, Heifeng Jiansui dipped the Dragonwhisker brush into it and began writing with beautiful strokes of calligraphy on the Dragonskin paper.
A cultivation technique has many components. The energy circulation points, physical movements, mental state, required equipment, Dao laws… To communicate everything perfectly, Heifeng Jiansui altered his strokes. Some strokes seemed lazily indolent, some seemed high strung… All these were to communicate the state of mind while performing the technique.
After penning the energy circulation diagrams, it came the time for the mental chants and mantras. And after that came the circulation path of energy and breathing technique. Next, it was time for the physical movements. The next part was the spear technique. All this came together in the final part, completing the technique.
Azure Dragon Spear. This was the name of the technique Heifeng Jiansui had tailored for his maid. Simple yet profound.
After completing the technique, Heifeng Jiansui calmly performed his breathing technique while letting the ink dry. When dawn arose, he put away the manual in a delivery flying sword and sent it to Qinglan Weiwei surreptitiously.

Qinglan Weiwei was not a heavy sleeper. So the sound of the falling scroll swiftly woke her up. Clearheaded, she immediately pointed out the object that woke her from her sleep. Turning on the lights, she looked at the scroll that had fallen.
“As young master said, a manual indeed arrived. I wonder what kind of technique can allow a person to gain insight into the Dao as a mortal?” The moment she touched the scroll, a shiver went through her body. The paper was made of dragonskin!
Opening the manual, her eyes were mesmerized by the strokes that had hints of Dao under them and the dragonblood they were formed from. Seeing the clear, succinct description, she resisted the urge to begin training the technique and turned the page to read more.
Every moment she read the manual, she was reminded more and more of how precious this manual was. The Five Sacred Beast Sect would do all it could to get their hands on this art. This technique was not consisting of vague ramblings that one person might comprehend and breakthrough, it was written so that all readers may understand and comprehend!
Diligently, she comprehended the outer words and the innate Dao behind them. This wasn’t an opportunity she gained by her own merits, but something that was Heifeng Jiansui’s investment so that she would be a worthy protector. So, she had to live up to his expectations.
After diligently going through the manual thrice over, it was time to practice.
That morning, only the sound of a spear thrusting could be heard in the quiet room.
