lthough Cai Ning sensed Zhang Liyang's intentions, he wasn't afraid at all.At the end of the day, Mu Yinghua is just a princess, not a prince. If she were a prince, Cai Ning would have hesitated. Wou...Goooo~

Beneath the throat rolling, Zhang Liyang opened his mouth and swallowed the blood dragon fruit.

The scales on the fruit's skin were quite hard, making Zhang Liyang find it particularly difficult to swallow.

It's not that Zhang Liyang didn't want to peel off the fruit skin, it was just that he didn't dare because the system had only introduced the effects of this fruit and hadn't explained how to consume it.

If Zhang Liyang ruined this fruit because of himself, he'd probably cry until he fainted in the bathroom.

So the safest way is to just swallow it whole!

Actually, taking dragon fruit requires peeling off the outer layer that resembles old tree bark. Swallowing it whole like Zhang Liyang did means you'll need a while just to remove that outer skin.

Fortunately, in Zhang Liyang's Five Emperors Rotating Sutra, Huang Di had achieved great cultivation, strengthening his spleen and stomach abilities. With Zhang Liyang's current level of cultivation, manifesting the blood dragon fruit's outer skin would be almost instantaneous.

As the skin ruptured, a viscous liquid, like molten lava, flowed out. An extremely powerful qi and blood spread within Zhang Liyang's body, instantly forming a vast ocean of qi and blood!

Hum~

Qi and blood churned like the vast sea, and a dragon's roar suddenly erupted!

A blood-red dragon, with its fangs and claws bared, roared through the Sea of Qi and Blood, wreaking havoc!

Whoosh!

Waves surged, a blood-colored giant dragon rose from the water, with crimson clouds appearing around it. Then, in another long roar, the dragon soared into the sky and along Zhang Liyang's blood vessels, began to travel around his body!

Humph!

As the Great Dragon entered his blood vessels, Zhang Liyang instantly felt his entire body's blood boiling. Even his body felt like a boiled shrimp in an instant!

The temperature in the room rose at a visible pace, becoming stiflingly warm with Zhang Lifeng, a human-shaped furnace of fire, present. The warmth soon reached a point where one would break into a sweat.

But these were no longer concerns for Zhang Liyang. Now, all of Zhang Liyang's attention was focused within his body. He used his willpower to control the surging crimson dragon and frantically absorbed its qi and blood power.

Wow!

Wave after wave, like tides, surged into Zhang Liyang's ears. Unlike the initial surge of blood and qi, these waves came from the deepest part of Zhang Liyang's body, from within his very bones!

And the source of tidal energy is within Zhang Liyang's two kidneys!

Visibly, under the surging tide of energy, Zhang Liyang's bones were becoming rounder while also hardening.

Just like a rock at the bottom of a pond, it becomes smooth and hard after being impacted by the flow of water day after day.

Under the relentless surge of the tides, Zhang Liyang's breath grew stronger and stronger. His blood, heart, spleen, stomach, and muscles all strengthened along with him!

Especially at the very beginning of his cultivation, if Zhang Liyang couldn't control it, his heartbeat sounded like a muffled thunderclap, booming within a radius of ten or so meters, as if exploding right beside their ears!

This situation persisted for a whole day, and the temperature inside Zhang Liyang's room had almost reached sixty or seventy degrees. The air around the room became distorted due to this high heat.

Bang!

A muffled sound echoed within, and at the same time, a surge of information arose in Zhang Liyang's mind. It was a minor divine ability that manifested after Shui Di had successfully cultivated.

Looking at the newly appeared divine ability, Zhang Liyang looked again at the qi blood dragon that still had two-thirds of its energy. After thinking for a while, under the control of his intention, the qi blood dragon went all the way down and finally arrived at a pitch-black abyss. Then, it plunged in headfirst.

Feeling the dragon transforming back into a vast sea of qi and blood in the abyss, Zhang Liyang moved his mind again. The sea of qi and blood surged once more, forming another crimson dragon. However, this dragon did not emerge from the abyss but instead transformed back into a sea of qi and blood, settling at the bottom of the abyss.

This is the water emperor's minor supernatural power, returning to the depths of the great abyss!

Zhang Liyang can store energy, like an energy warehouse, but this warehouse is huge, incredibly large. Even a powerful Qi Blood Dragon, after entering the Gui Zang Great Abyss, doesn't even fill one-tenth of it.

With the remaining energy of the Great Dragon Qi Blood, Zhang Liyang estimated that he should be able to cultivate the final Qingdi in the Five Emperors Rotating Sutra. However, Zhang Liyang was not in a hurry because he still wanted to break through to the last leap of the tenth realm of one ring!

So when entering the stage of cultivating with the Qing Emperor, Zhang Liyang proactively sent the Qi Blood Great Dragon into the Gui Zang Great Abyss.

Although Zhang Liyang didn't directly cultivate the Qingdi, as Qingdi's cultivation began, Zhang Liyang's physical body also started to change.

The Azure Emperor belongs to wood, governing the liver and sinews.

Before Zhang Liyang's cultivation, he always practiced alone in one place. Just like the Fire Emperor, he only cultivated his heart and blood. But with the beginning of the Azure Emperor's cultivation, the meridians connecting all parts of the body began to integrate the entire body as a whole.

Just like steel cables, as the Azure Emperor's cultivation progressed, the cables twisted together, forming a single, more solid and resilient cable.

This is the effect of one plus one equaling more than two, and it's also the beginning of Zhang Liyang's combat power soaring!

Just as Zhang Liyang was constantly adapting to his rapidly increasing combat power at Xue Lin Manor, three young people arrived at the gate of Fei Long City.

From the young people's clothing, it can be seen that all three are well-off. Especially in their eyes, there is a gleam from time to time, clearly indicating that they are accomplished cultivators.

"Junior brother, we finally made it to Flying Dragon City." The most mature-looking of the three looked at Flying Dragon City and sighed, "This journey has certainly worn down our senior brother."

"Yeah, senior brother, my elder brother and I are totally exhausted. Especially these legs, they're almost calloused!"

"Haha..." The three walked on, and the most spirited young man among them burst into laughter upon hearing his senior brother and junior brother's words. "Senior Brother, Junior Brother, rest assured, having arrived in Flying Dragon City is essentially being on my turf."

"First, come home with me. After I've seen my father, I'll arrange the best restaurant, the finest brothel, and the most beautiful girls in Flying Dragon City for you."

Hearing this, the man in front of the three lit up his eyes instantly, "Hehehe, that's why it's still better to follow Big Brother Bai, then my junior brother will be getting two!"

"Fang, don't cause too much trouble."

"Brother Li, we've arrived in Flying Dragon City, and Master isn't around. What's the point of keeping up those rules anymore!" The white-robed senior brother waved his hand dismissively and then turned to his junior brother, "Junior Brother Fang, don't worry. When the time comes, forget about just two, whoever you fancy in this entire Flying Dragon City, just tell me, and I'll get them for you to serve you well!"

Then, thank you, Bai Senior Brother!

"Haha..."

Watching his two younger disciples standing at the city gate speaking those reckless words, Li Hua's brows furrowed slightly. However, looking at his white junior disciple, who was most favored by their master, Li Hua could only sigh inwardly.ude in the city, Zhang Liyang led Yuan Li and several others back to Xue Lin Manor.Because Mu Yinghua was handling official business at the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Liyang didn't go to disturb her....
