Ling yun was discussing about random things with Feng huang when he suddenly felt something strange.
When he concentrated on that feeling, he found out that he has actually formed some kind of connection with Xia qingyue.
Ling yun became happy at this discovery and thought out loud, "It seems that Xia qingyue succeeded in refining my blood. Now, I will just have to see what kind of power she got."
Ling yun hurriedly went to Xia qingyue and asked her, "Do you feel any different?"
"Yes. After refining your blood, my cultivation increased to 7th level of spirit profound realm. I also got some understanding of the fire law. I can now easily produce fire that are powerful than the normal ones. Also, I think I got some resistance against fire based attacks as well." Xia qingyue described her gains as she produced some fire as demonstration.
Ling yun looked at the fire and found out that it was slightly lower class than what he can produce after strengthening him with the phoenix blood. So she asked Feng Huang, "What do you think of the power of this fire? And why it isn't in the same level as mine?"
"Maybe it is because your cultivation is low, that's why the quality of the fire that she got from your blood is slightly lower than us divine beasts. You don't have to worry though. The quality of her fire will grow strong if you feed her more of your blood. Though the most simplest way for you to make her strong is by letting her body absorb your yang energy through sex."
"Cough...cough...we can talk about that later when she grows up." Ling yun said as Xia qingyue started to blush slightly at the answer.
Ling yun then started check other aspects of Xia qingyue's improvement. She did get some physical boost but it is not worth mentioning.
As for her appearance, nothing has changed except for a special mark that appeared in her forehead.
It is diamond shaped and red in color. This mark can be hidden if Xia qingyue wishes.
The connection that Ling yun was feeling a moment ago was from this mark. After looking into the connection for a while, Ling yun discovered some wonderful things.
As long as Ling yun wishes, he can easily suppress or even take way all the cultivation that Xia qingyue possesses just like how Feng Huang has suppressed her inheritors for centuries.
Besides that, Ling can feel her emotion towards him as well. He can also distinguish whether what she was saying is truth or false.
Ling yun gloated in happiness inside as he analyzed his new ability. He now doesn't have worry about someone backstabbing him.
As long as all the important subordinates and his loved ones gets his inheritance, he will not have worry or monitor them always for a possible betrayal.
If someone have any thoughts of betraying, he would easily discover it through the connection.
It would also stop anyone from revolting against him as Ling yun would be easily able to suppress them because of them having his bloodline.
Before this, Ling yun was planning to use formations to maintain his subordinates loyalty. But materials for building formations are very expensive. So, this new ability saved Ling yun's lot of money as well.
.....
Now that Ling yun has confirmed his blood can be used to give others power up, he decided to refine the remaining Phoenix bloods to strengthen his cultivation.
As he did so, his cultivation increased to 3rd level of emperor profound realm.
After sorting everything else, Ling yun asked Feng Huang to go inside his soul as he and Xia qingyue came out of the cave.
.....
"Chief Baichuan, I have a good news for you guys," Ling yun directly came to meet Feng Baichuan after coming out of the cave to discuss some issues.
"What is it, young master?"
"I can lift the seal that has been restricting you from increasing your cultivation."
Feng Baichuan got shocked after hearing this. This has been their lifelong dream to get out of the shackle of the seal and become stronger.
But as a shrewd man, he knows that nothing in this world comes free. So, he carefully asked Ling yun, "In exchange for lifting this cursed seal, what do you need from us?"
"I want your loyalty. I will lift the the seal as long as you all become my subordinate." Even though Ling yun can just force them to become his subordinates by letting out Feng Huang.
But he decided not to that as that might give birth to hatred for him in some of their hearts. Instead, he gave them the so called 'freedom' to choose fully knowing that they have no other way besides becoming his subordinate if they wants to break free from their shackles.
And just as he thought, Feng Baichuan and all the other villagers agreed to become his subordinate.
.....
After lifting all of their seals, Ling yun gave Feng Baichuan a letter and said, "Give this letter to Ling wan after reaching Heavenly sword villa. He will arrange everything for you guys."
He added, "Also, tell him that I decided to prolong my trip and will be going back to the heavenly sword villa a few years later."
Next day, Ling yun took all the villagers out of the mountain range before he went on his way.
.....
Ling yun's next destination is wasteland of death. He plans to get the primordial azure dragon's legacy from there as well.
With his Emperor profound level cultivation, it didn't take long for him to reach the inheritance ground.
The flood dragons outside of the inheritance ground did try to stop him but they didn't manage to last long as Long yun was stronger than them.
...
Inside the inheritance ground-
"Finally someone arrived here after 1000 years. So, did you two came here to take the trial?" The Primordial Azure Dragon's residual soul asked as he saw the newcomers.
"Yes, we came here for the trial."
"Good..good...I hope that you two really manage to get my inheritance since I have not much time left." The primordial azure dragon saw Ling yun's performance outside.
So, he is optimistic about Ling yun passing the trial unlike the previous 129 challengers that died here. As for Xia qingyue, he isn't sure about her as he still doesn't know about her special body.
"So, who will be going first?" The primordial azure dragon asked.
"We plan to take the trial together." At this answer the primordial azure dragon got a little upset and thought,
*Another fool who is going to die here.*
.....
Before being sent to the trial, he mentally said to Feng Huang, 'Can you talk to primordial azure dragon about becoming my familiar?'
[AN: I will be using '*****' when someone is mentally taking with another person]
'I will try. But with his arrogance, I don't think he is going to accept.'
'Just try your best.'
.....
Ling yun and Xia qingyue is now in the first trial ground.
Here they have to go through ten waves of stone dragon warriors. They have to kill nine waves of stone dragon warriors with each wave getting multiplied by two.
The tenth wave is the most brutal one where they have to kill the stone dragon general.
With both cooperating, Ling yun and Xia qingyue barely managed to pass the trial.
They both are extremely exhausted and seriously injured all over the body. Ling yun took out two recovering pills and gave one to Xia qingyue.
While recovering, Ling yun thought to himself, *If I didn't strengthen myself with the phoenix blood before coming here, I don't think I would have passed this trial at all.*
.....
After some resting, the primordial azure dragon sent them to the next trial.
Ling yun and Xia qingyue were transported to an endless plane with countless profound beasts roaming around.
In order to pass the second trial, they will have to kill 99999 profound beasts within one year of time.
Like Yun che, Ling yun can easily complete this trial by setting fire in the forest and kill all the profound beasts in it. But he decided not to as he has some other plan.
Ling yun looked at Xia qingyue and said, "Qingyue, you might have noticed earlier when we were fighting those stone dragon warriors that we are seriously lacking in fighting experience."
After seeing Xia qingyue nodding at his assessment, Ling yun added, "In order to make our fighting capability stronger I plan to stay here for the whole year instead of quickly passing the trial. What do you think?"
"I have no problem with that."

Also, can you guys give me a name for his future Empire? I am not good with naming things.
