From the data, the overall improvements don’t seem substantial, yet Liang Yi is no longer very concerned about the numerical values of attributes.

If it were just about the numbers, he would only be slightly more proficient in the Fourth Realm, but he was already able to chase and slash a level 47 tiger cultivator at level 40.

Therefore, attribute values are just a reference, only true players can rely entirely on the panel values. For the natives, a bit of strength can manifest very differently depending on the person and the race.

"Boom boom boom!"

Beside Zhaoqing Mountain, the stone door of a small mountain cave slowly opens, Liang Yi squints his eyes inadvertently against the sudden sunlight, and listens attentively to the distant sounds of birds chirping.

It’s already deep autumn on Qingliang’s side, but here at Ten Thousand Miles Mountain, it’s still early summer, with a gentle breeze and warm, comfortable sunshine.

"Master... Brother." The little fox spirit had already heard the noise from inside the cave, so she was waiting at the entrance.

"I’ve been slightly delayed, sorry." Liang Yi smiles as he pats Yue Bai’s head and inquires about her studies over the past few days.

"How have you been doing with the instruction from Grand Saint of Nine Spirits recently?"

"Not bad, both the Qingqiu Cultivation Technique and the Daoist Skill are directly inscribed in the bloodline; what I’ve learned from master is the most basic and fundamental knowledge on the path of cultivation." Yue Bai, exhilarated by the thought of being able to help her brother in the future, is full of enthusiasm when practicing.

"It looks like Grand Saint of Nine Spirits has taught you well." Liang Yi nods his head, having also heard the phrase "the most basic is the most fundamental" from his own master.

"Brother, what’s wrong with the little orange cat?" Yue Bai looks at the golden cat lying listlessly on Liang Yi’s shoulder, noticing its slightly swollen behind.

"I gave Mr. Orange a minor fur trim, and he decided to rest quietly in gratitude," Liang Yi says with his eyes open.

Despite the little orange cat’s indomitable spirit, Liang Yi has finally decided to start calling him Mr. Orange.

"Where is Grand Saint of Nine Spirits?"

"Master has been busy lately collecting materials for my bloodline revival," recalled Yue Bai, remembering the recent instructions from her master to prepare for the ritual.

"Let’s go and pay a visit to the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits," nodded Liang Yi, appreciating that his master truly valued him as a disciple, and led Yue Bai by the hand towards Zhaoqing Mountain.

The news that the old orange cat became sentient and Yue Bai was taken as a disciple by the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits hadn’t spread widely yet; presently, only Liang Yi and a few Demon Clan Great Cultivators were aware.

The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits planned to let the little orange cat continue to follow Liang Yi, considering it needed neither his care nor teaching. Moreover, with a great era about to dawn, he felt it was better for the little cat to stay with Liang Yi than with the Demon Clan.

For some reason, he felt that the youth with an extraordinary bearing might well be the second Child of Destiny to stir the world since Chen Hua.

After all, the brilliance of the Heavenly Dao shone upon the youth—what could be more convincing? That is why he decided to heavily invest in Liang Yi, not only leaving the little orange cat by his side but also taking Yue Bai as his disciple, hoping for pleasant surprises in the future.

As for Yue Bai, he planned to announce her as his disciple to the Demon Clan and the rest of the world only after she gained the ability to protect herself.

"Direct Soul Transmission, Cold Serpent’s Immortal Spring, Watery Cloud Vision..." The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits was checking the materials in his room one by one, preparing for his disciple’s bloodline revival ceremony.

A newly carved array on the floor of the great hall was mysterious and complex, with specially made Spiritual Lamps emitting a faint glow, embedded in the walls to illuminate the murals above.

"Why bother making it so dark every day?" The reinvigorated old orange cat stood atop Liang Yi’s head, assuming the role of an advisor.

"Don’t you know cats are nocturnal?" Liang Yi said, exasperated. "You must be a fake cat."

"Of course, I know that, I’m just giving you an opportunity. If I did all the talking, what would you say?" The little orange cat threatened by grabbing a tuft of Liang Yi’s hair.

With a demeanor that said, ’dare to contradict and I’ll show you what being bald is like,’

"Yes, yes, I have indeed let down the old orange cat’s kind intentions," Liang Yi complimented with a deadpan face.

Yue Bai curiously looked over Liang Yi’s shoulder to his head. She felt that the descendant of her master seemed uncannily familiar with her brother, even more so than with the master himself.

Both Liang Yi and the little orange cat noticed this but didn’t mind.

Liang Yi was happy to meet a soul in this Otherworld that could converse on his level, especially since it was a cat.

Despite the little orange cat’s arrogant demeanor in front of Liang Yi, this was his way of expressing affection. From the moment he opened his eyes, he realized he had an extraordinary connection with the youth, a bond not even shared with the big orange cat.

In the vast world, only Liang Yi could elicit such an instinctive closeness from him.

Awakened, he seemed to know everything and yet nothing; he felt superior but was merely a newborn kitten. Only Liang Yi carried a scent he recognized, as if he had followed it for a long time.

The moment he saw Liang Yi, memories of the youth’s experiences in another world surfaced, prompting him to lie on the youth’s head as if he had always watched over him.

"What a monstrous talent," the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits marveled at Liang Yi, who had just appeared at the doorstep, astonished by his rapid progress.

"It’s all thanks to my master’s teaching," Liang Yi said modestly, touching his head.

Did Chen Hua crack open your skull and pour in the knowledge directly? Everyone knows his level of teaching.

But the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits was merely surprised; the ancient Qingqiu bloodline of Yue Bai, once fully awakened, would also advance at a terrifying speed.

Daoist Skills and Sword techniques didn’t necessarily improve with age; after all, the new waves of the Yangtze River push the old waves forward.

Yet, this rule does not apply to bloodlines.

According to the common understanding of the Cultivation World, as long as the lineage’s bloodline continues, it can pass down knowledge and power from one generation to the next. The older the bloodline, the more potent the power that lies within.

Therefore, the Qingqiu bloodline passed down from the First Epoch might be more potent than even the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, her master, fully understood.
