Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel
Chapter 329: Promotion on the Way

Chapter 329: Promotion on the Way

Bloodline members are ageless and immortal, yet it is very difficult for them to increase their strength.

However, "very difficult" does not mean "impossible." By comprehending the Bloodline Resonance, members of the Bloodline can still slowly augment their power until they reach the limit of their own bloodline.

Of course, this process is incredibly slow, even when delving into the most suitable deep slumber for comprehending the Bloodline Resonance, the time required is often measured in years.

Dark, Wildness, Blood and Flesh, Spirit, Observation...

These five major directions of Bloodline Resonance represent the five paths of advancement for the Bloodline, and any breakthrough in one direction of Bloodline Resonance means that the members can progress even further.

Since advancing to the rank of Starry, over this past year, Charlotte has been practicing various spells of the Bloodline captured from the Blood Demon Church, and she even devotes at least two hours to meditation every day.

More than a year passed, and thanks to the inheritance of the Blood Holy Scripture, Charlotte’s Bloodline Resonance on the Inheritance Promotion Tree had all reached the rank of Starry, while the strength of the Chapter of Darkness, by invoking Undead Spells increasingly profound times, became even deeper.

And now, with the direct "Devouring" of the incarnation of a Bloodline Legend, Charlotte’s Dark Resonance, which was already on the verge, finally reached its limit...

The surging power of the Bloodline writhed within her, and as Charlotte sank into her consciousness, she saw the path symbolizing the Dark Path on her Inheritance Promotion Tree finally pierce through to the gateway to the second level.

A thought flickered through Charlotte’s mind,

"Devouring the power brought by the Bloodline seems to bring not only a change in energy but also an understanding of the Bloodline Path..."

She pondered for a moment and then opened the Blood Holy Scripture in her consciousness.

Sure enough, on the last page of the Chapter of Darkness in the Holy Scripture, new text emerged, detailing a method for the refining of a Bloodline incarnation!

Its name was: "High-level Corpse Puppet Technique."

Reading through the description of this Bloodline magic, Charlotte quickly recognized it as Elder Maxim’s method for creating his incarnation.

However, the process of its crafting was overly cruel and against humanity’s morals. Charlotte only glanced at the various descriptions before frowning and closing the Blood Holy Scripture.

Magic of the Dark Path was always like this, often sinister, fitting well with the crazed and evil image of the Blood Demon Church.

"It seems that the Blood Holy Scripture can not only recover its original power by collecting Holy Scripture Fragments but also expand its content by absorbing the power of the Bloodline!"

Charlotte mused, suddenly uncovering another way of increasing power besides the collection of fragments.

She could completely rely on constantly invoking the Blood Divine Power to Devour other members of the Bloodline to enhance her own power and deepen her understanding of Bloodline Resonance!

Yet, upon discovering this method, Charlotte wasn’t overly excited.

On the contrary... she felt some hesitation.

"Devouring" was too sinister a power.

Having lived twice as a person, Charlotte never believed that there were any real shortcuts in the world.

Every shortcut was bound to come with a corresponding price, and the more outrageous the shortcut, the greater the price...

She could utilize the Blood Divine Power, and the Blood Holy Scripture even recognized Charlotte as its master, but Charlotte regarded herself as merely using this power, not understanding it.

Recklessly enhancing the power she didn’t fully comprehend, who knew what kind of problems it might bring?

Would it also cause her to lose herself in "Devouring," which bore an uncanny resemblance to blood addiction?

Charlotte did not know the answer.

However, after much thought, she still felt that this method should not be considered a shortcut to increasing power.

It could be used in critical times, but it should not be used frequently.

Straightening out this principle, Charlotte felt much more at ease.

With energy brimming inside and her Bloodline Resonance at its peak, and even advancing to Silver Moon was just a step away...

Feeling that eager magic power within her body, Charlotte thought for a moment and decided to seize this perfect opportunity to strike while the iron was hot and directly charge towards Silver Moon!

Thinking of this, Charlotte decisively left the spiritual world and returned to reality.

This final step was not suitable for her study, given her unique situation. Who knew what sort of phenomenon might occur during the promotion?

After pondering for a moment, Charlotte rang a bell and summoned the Chief Maid, Sherry:

"Prepare the Meditation Room for me; I need to undergo a deep meditation."

Sherry immediately understood Charlotte’s intention.

She bowed slightly and, after leaving, soon had everything ready.

Dressed in her meditation clothes, Charlotte entered the Meditation Room.

"Let it be known that nobody is to disturb me during my meditation,"

she told Sherry.

Sherry curtsied:

"Yes."

After closing the Meditation Room’s door, Charlotte injected magic power into the Magic Energy Center that maintained the Spell Restrictions, raising the level of prohibition to its highest before entering a state of meditation.

Her consciousness returned to the Talent Promotion Tree, and Charlotte attempted to make the final push for the promotion to Silver Moon.

Her will stirred the energy that was already brimming to become even more active, while the path representing the Dark Path burst forth with an unprecedented brilliance, charging towards the gates of Silver Moon.

With a thunderous roar, the light successfully stepped onto the second layer of the Talent Tree.

However, just as Charlotte was about to begin her promotion, an overwhelming and unexpected drowsiness assaulted her.

It was hard for Charlotte to describe the feeling...

It wasn’t ordinary sleepiness, not the sensation of fatigue and exhaustion, but more like the cocooning process of metamorphosis.

Charlotte had an almost instinctive judgment that once she began her promotion, it would inevitably be followed by a lengthy slumber.

A few days?

No, it wasn’t that simple.

Charlotte had a premonition that the slumber associated with this promotion could very likely be measured in months.

"Is this the inevitable slumber one must undergo as part of a Bloodline’s power elevation?" she wondered.

Without any hesitation, she decided to halt the promotion for the time being.

The political situation in Castel was unstable, and she could not afford to sleep just yet.

Even if she really had to undergo what could potentially be a month-long or even longer slumber, she had to make arrangements for all the necessary matters during her sleep to ensure the safety of her domain and herself.

However, when Charlotte tried to stop the promotion, she found she couldn’t halt the transformation of her Bloodline or the growing drowsiness...

In other words, she was no longer able to stop this promotion, which would likely result in an extended period of sleep.

Charlotte quickly used the Blood Holy Scripture to suppress her increasingly active Bloodline, but even then, she could only slightly delay the inevitable slumber...

After a brief assessment, she roughly estimated the time she could stay awake:

"Ten days? Twelve days? Hmm... At most half a month?"

After some thought, Charlotte exited her meditation and stood up decisively.

She resolved to use these last less than half a month of lucidity to handle the affairs of her domain as well as she could, making arrangements for everything after she fell asleep...
