Communication between the Yao Race is often this simple and direct.
Compared to the Human Race, it saves a lot of red tape and some verbose, polite, and mutually flattering nonsense.
Dog Fugui walked forward slowly, its massive body making a dull thud with every step.
Before long, Dog Fugui entered the belly of Dog God Mountain.
This was an enormous grotto, with nine Earth Dog statues carved into the walls on each side.
At the very front, in the position of honor, there was a high platform with a lifelike, black-gold Earth Dog statue looking straight ahead.
This Earth Dog statue was very unique, with silver cloud patterns on its body.
Dog Fugui prostrated itself on the ground, offering worship.
A somewhat gaunt Old Dog walked out from a passage beside the statue, its steps slow, but exuding immense pressure.
Dog Fugui's lower jaw touched the ground, its eyes fixed on the floor.
The gaunt Old Dog stared sharply at Dog Fugui, who only wagged its tail slightly.
At this moment, Dog Fugui was also very nervous.
The Old Dog before him was a true eighth-grade Yao Beast!
And he had lived for over eight hundred years!
Even within the Earth Dog Clan, this age was quite significant.
The Old Dog stood up after a while and walked towards the passage he came from.
Dog Fugui quickly stood up and followed behind him with its tail tucked.
Passing through the spiraling downward passage, unique dragon oil lamps on the walls dimly illuminated the area below.
A blood pool, ten meters long and eight meters wide, came into view.
At the center of the blood pool was another black-gold Earth Dog statue.
The Old Dog let out a low growl, and Dog Fugui quickly knelt on its front legs.
The Old Dog glanced at Dog Fugui, then walked straight up, leaving.
Dog Fugui secretly sighed in relief, and as the stone door of the passage above closed, it quickly walked to the side of the blood pool.
It opened its mouth and spat out Zhou You.
Zhou You was covered in foul-smelling saliva, but he understood that now was not the time for fastidiousness.
The two did not communicate but quickly entered the blood pool.
The moment he entered the blood pool, Zhou You immediately felt as if every pore of his body had been opened by the blood pool. This blood pool was very strange; the blood within it was clear like water and did not stain clothes or hair.
Though he lacked experience, he had a pretty good guess in his heart.
This blood pool should be the work of a top-tier Great Yao, created with its powerful Blood. And over the years, powerful Earth Dogs continuously replenished it with powerful Blood Essence.
Over time, this divine pool took shape.
Within this blood pool, the Bloodline power of the Earth Dog Clan was naturally contained.
Dog Fugui dared not waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; its body completely submerged, leaving only its head exposed.
Zhou You sat cross-legged, silently circulating the Overlord Heaven Art.
Strands of Blood Qi came from all directions, surging into his body.
At this moment, the blood within his body completely boiled, crisscrossing. Especially the 'Ghost Silk' formed from the absorbed drop of Ghost Blood, which accelerated this absorption.
Blood is Yin, and Ghost Blood is extreme Yin.
Sitting in this blood pool, everything simply came naturally.
The blood pool boiled and decreased at a visible rate.
The Overlord Heaven Art tempered his body again and again, and Zhou You observed the changes within it.
The sparse golden light originally in his blood seemed to be gradually increasing. Just like his years of cultivation, it was gradually recovering with these days of descending the mountain.
“I came to the right place.”
Zhou You was overjoyed in his heart; this was his immortal realm!
Blood glowing with golden light!
This step was finally gradually perfected.
On each bone, peculiar patterns gradually appeared. The patterns were dark gold, like lightning-like imprints spreading out, resembling ancient natural runes.
Every tendon trembled uncontrollably, and faint Dragon roars could be heard.
This situation...
Is also commonly called 'cramps'.
The abnormal movement of his tendons made Zhou You very uncomfortable, but after the spasms, he felt incredibly good.
He maintained his Cultivation state in this atmosphere of pain and pleasure.
The 'foreign object' in his Bloodline seemed to open another eye.
This made Zhou You notice it immediately. He suspected that this was his Blood Spirit, which had already taken shape and could be directly awakened when he reached the Spirit Connection Realm.
If he was lucky, he might even be able to awaken it in the Tuotai Realm.
Spiritual Qi circulated within his body, flushing his meridians, tempering his entire skeletal system, and catalyzing the 'Bone Containing Golden Patterns'.
At the same time, hundreds of High-Grade Spirit Stones fell into the blood pool and gradually decomposed under the influence of the blood pool.
Dog Fugui keenly noticed this situation and was filled with gratitude, thinking, "Canine Emperor, you are truly a good person. Fearing that the power of the blood pool would be damaged, you even specially took out hundreds of High-Grade Spirit Stones."
This kind of behavior was simply too generous!
After all, even a single High-Grade Spirit Stone was extremely valuable.
At the very least, his dog life wasn't worth a single High-Grade Spirit Stone.
With the catalysis of hundreds of High-Grade Spirit Stones, the blood pool was completely enveloped by a surge of Spiritual Qi, so dense that it even obstructed vision.
Dog Fugui greedily absorbed the surging Spiritual Qi, and he also worked hard to Cultivate.
Don't look at seventh and eighth grade as similar; one wrong move could cost him hundreds of years. And now, this was Dog Fugui's best chance for Breakthrough.
Once he became a ninth-grade Great Yao, it would mean he would have a small status within the entire Yao Race.
“Fan Blood Realm Eighth Heaven!”
“Fan Blood Realm Ninth Heaven!”
Zhou You's heart was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy. He felt that under the impetus of the blood pool and the stimulation of the High-Grade Spirit Stones, his body seemed to have opened a vent, and a vast power was forcefully flushing through his body.
Wherever this power passed, his bones, like towering pillars, absorbed it greatly.
Every single tendon was immersed in it, becoming softer and more resilient.
For Zhou You, as long as he could Breakthrough to the Tuotai Realm, what were a mere hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones?
Even a thousand, he would be willing to spend!
Under the Old Man's care, he didn't have much concept of these things.
It was only by observing the reactions of his elder brother Zhou Chao and his grandniece Zhou Chen that he gradually realized the value of High-Grade Spirit Stones.
“Breakthrough to the Tuotai Realm in one go!”
Zhou You gritted his teeth. The Spiritual Qi outside was gradually thinning. Just as he was about to replenish some, he felt something was wrong with his body.
All his bones at this moment began to squirm completely uncontrollably.
Moreover, hair even sprouted from his skin.
Zhou You couldn't help but widen his eyes. What the heck?
What's going on?
No sooner had the thought arisen than he felt his body suddenly contract, then suddenly expand.
Zhou You opened his mouth, then looked at his hands. “Dog paws?”
Then he looked down...
“Oh! My goodness!”
Zhou You's scalp tingled; he had actually turned into a dog!
