Chapter 439 Starry Sky
?Reading her thoughts he lightly laughed since it truly was a little strange.
“Haha, you see Dual Cultivators have more interest in this than others, because for the most part this is not something that concerns most cultivators.
In fact, the Pure Qi of the other four of the Seven Roots could be received with special techniques as well.
When I cultivate with a partner who has yet to lose their Pure Yin Qi, I receive all seven Innate Qi, because this Pure Qi fades once the other three are released, and even if all seven are not released usually play no role in the life of a normal cultivator so it is not a detriment to my partners.
Though, some specific methods of cultivation depend on having one’s Pure Qi intact, whether that be Pure Harmonic Qi or Pure Blood Qi, or any other one. Which is why they remain celibate throughout their lifetimes… a true waste in my opinion. They truly miss out on enjoying life”
Wu Long shrugged his shoulders with a face saying ‘those poor souls’ but in a lighthearted way, making Song Lingfei lightly giggle as she covered her mouth with her small, delicate hand, forgetting the momentary embarrassment she felt when he talked about cultivating with his partners.
“So… Pure Blood Qi then affects the Root of Vitality in the one who receives it?”
“Exactly, it enriches the Blood Essence. But there is a catch, to do that you need to learn special techniques.
You see, most people who only casually use Dual Cultivation techniques don’t know how to separately cultivate the Innate Qi they receive, all being refined through the Root of Harmony to enrich the Root of Spirituality, strengthening their cultivation”
Wu Long nodded to the question, his explanation giving the Imperial Princess a light shock.
“So even if someone Dual Cultivates with someone with a special bloodline, that opportunity could be lost as they refine it all into simple cultivation base? What a waste…”
“Haha, that is correct, Your Highness. A true waste indeed.
Dual Cultivators, on the other hand, and some people whose goal is to acquire a bloodline, know how to separately refine Pure Blood Qi within the Root of Vitality, partially converting their bloodline to that of their partner with varying efficiency depending on the complexity and efficiency of the technique used”
He added to the Princess who suddenly became aware of how Dual Cultivators were interested in things normal cultivators completely ignored.
“… I don’t want that scumbag to get such an opportunity…”
She looked down again and said after a little pause in a very low, barely audible voice that was still picked up by Wu Long. It was most likely a reaction to the words ‘some people whose goal is to acquire a bloodline’.
“Haha, don’t worry Your Highness. Such an outcome will definitely not transpire. I give you my word on that”
Wu Long said with a very light, soft laugh, soothing her worries.
‘If I wanted anyone to receive it, it would…’
Her cheeks blushed as she caught herself on a thought that caused her head to instinctively turn to the side where her walking companion was, immediately turning her face away as she realized it. .
“…um…thank you, Mister Wu… is… is my bloodline… that rare?”
She asked, trying to alleviate some of her storming emotions by the distraction of a conversation.
“Exceptionally so. In fact, the more I think about it the more I find it unbelievable. Your bloodline is that of a Great Void Eagle, the very, very distant ancestor of the Azure Eagle Spiritual Beast Race, and a legendary existence of whom only records are told. A true Mythical Beast”
Wu Long spoke looking into the distance, as if not seeing her rosy cheeks or shifting gaze which put her at ease while his words instantly captivated her interest once again.
“Mythical Beast? Are they different from Spiritual Beasts?”
“Haha, the difference is like Heaven and… anyway it is incredibly large”
Wu Long paused as goosebumps ran through him as the laughter of a certain red-haired and red-bearded man resounded in his ears.
‘I spent too much time around that man it seems…’
A thought ran through his mind as he corrected himself.
“I guess they are more powerful and rare”
“Mm, most Mythical Beasts are only known by records, and those that could be witnessed are some of the most powerful existences in the known universe.
They are mostly individual beings, though there are those whose species number a little more than just one.
Though they of course do not reach the level of Legendary Beasts such as the True Dragon or True Phoenix, or the Kung Peng which even records of ancient times do not have witness accounts of, but only descriptions”
“Haha, you are saying it like someone not from the Three Continents”
She chuckled, finding his manner of speech a little amusing, since he spoke with conviction about something he, in her mind, learned about from literature.
“It is because I am not”
Wu Long chuckled, making her stop in her tracks, turning her head to him with widening eyes behind the veil while he moved a few steps before stopping as well and turning back to her with the same calm and tranquil appearance.
“You… came from outside the Three Continents? There is a world beyond?”
Her voice was slightly trembling, but this explanation could finally shed light on the inexplicable knowledge, skills and strength this man possessed.
“Yes, there is a world, up there in the stars above”
He looked up at the sky that has long since turned dark, the stars shining with brilliance on the two who stood on the bridge, as her gaze was first glued to him, but then as if guided by some invisible force, moved up after his.
“But… how did you get here? Did you leap across stars?”
After some time, she turned back to him, her eyes full of wonder.
“Haha, no, that feat is impossible for even someone called ‘Gods’, though there are of course notable exceptions, including some of the Mythical Beasts I told you about”
Wu Long chuckled at the imagination of this princess whose thoughts immediately went to feats which were impossible even by his standards, though only up until he met a certain woman.
“The way I got here is a little complicated to tell…”
“Ah, my apologies, I… I did not mean to pry…”
She interjected with a flustered appearance.
“Haha, do not worry about it, Your Highness. I am just saying it is hard to explain”
“I… I see. Thank you for sharing your secret, Mister Wu. Please be assured, it is safe with me”
“Which is why I was confident in sharing it”
“But… are you… after you are done with the things here, are you going to leave?”
Her voice slightly trembled as she spoke the last word.
“Yes indeed. But there is still quite some time before that happens so rest assured, I will not leave right away”
“I see…”
She nodded, her voice slightly distant as she seemingly sank into thoughts.
“Shall we?”
Wu Long made a gesture, and she nodded, continuing their stroll under the night sky.
