Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

All things considered, the man was not only innovative, but he was quite powerful, albeit a fool. Though he had never broken into the World Sea Realm, it was said that he had been capable of fighting experts of that caliber before the day of his death.

These Visualized Spiritual Foundations were exactly what Ryu wanted to home in on, because if he was correct, he believed that Elena's method of doing so would far supersede what the man of the past was capable of.

In order to form a Visualization of his Spiritual Foundation, the man essentially corrupted his Qi Realm path. Because, at the time, Mental Realm cultivation was banned, he didn't see a problem with what he did, flooding his dantian with large amounts of Spiritual Qi and diluting his normal qi.

Using a unique method, he fused the two qi and corrupted his path from then forth. The reason he couldn't break into the World Sea Realm was because all of his Cosmic Seeds were amalgamations of qi and Spiritual Qi. As such, they were in large part illusory.

How could you shatter a very real Spiritual Foundation with illusory Cosmic Seeds? You would need Soul Quintessence to do that, but without Mental Realm cultivation, what chance did he have of forming that?

However, Ryu's plans for Elena were different because they would rely on her Bloodline.

If Ryu was correct, Elena's Bloodline should work on her Spiritual Foundation in part, but not entirely. About half of the process had been completed while she was in her mother's womb.

Now, thanks to his Embryonic Qi, the process had been completed, but her Spiritual Foundation was still only partly protected from the effects of her Bloodline.

This was where everything came together.

The first step was to use the natural ability of Martial God Bloodlines to communicate and co-opt the Corporeal Souls to establish a more solid connection with her Spiritual Foundation, or in other words, her Dao Heart.

Then, by using her amplification abilities, he would create a special circulation method that would use her amplification talent to form projections of her Spiritual Foundation.

Once these projections were formed, Elena would be able to use Transcendent Control to manifest them into the real world.

Like this, Elena would be, in a sense, making a puppet of her own Spiritual Foundation and using them almost like one would use Immortal Rings... but on an entirely different level.

Because of the fact Elena's Spiritual Foundation would also have her amplification abilities, the moment they appeared outside her body she would hardly have to do a thing to sustain them. A nigh infinite feedback loop would be formed between Elena and her Spiritual Foundations, one that she could keep up for as long as her Focus Qi was still in good condition.

This was just the simplest face of what Ryu had for Elena, because the implications of being able to project Visualizations of her own Spiritual Foundation were huge.

A step further than that was layering her Dao and amplifying its strength with quantity rather than quality.

A step further than that was projecting her Spiritual Foundation in part, maybe assigning one to each Cosmic Seed she had formed and thus allowing them to exhibit different abilities related to specific techniques she wanted to use.

A step further than even that was raising the amplification so far that her true Spiritual Foundation might even break through the void to appear on the Real Plane.

And even these were still just surface level in Ryu's opinion. If this worked, why wouldn't she be able to do the same with her soul and create a loop of Soul Quintessence as well?

The problem was, obviously, that the Divine Wing and Holy Wing Bloodlines only worked qi and not Spiritual Qi or Soul Quintessence. But with Ryu's circulation method, if Elena projected her soul first, she didn't have to worry about the corruption of her Qi and Mental Realm paths.

That essentially meant that she would be able to fuse two paths without a single worry and create an entirely new Realm and Mage Arts if that was what she so desired.

The more Ryu thought outside the box, the more flood of ideas he came up with, but he was ultimately forced to restrict himself.

Elena was not him, she didn't like cultivating to begin with, and her path was different from his own.

However, she was also extremely talented nonetheless, it was just that she hadn't really wanted to work at it until Ryu came along and gave her a reason.

Ryu thought that it was best if he kept things simple, and in that case, he deviated from the path of soul amplification. The Mage Arts relied heavily on studying runes and he knew that Elena wouldn't want to do that even if she would if it meant growing more powerful.

Instead, he turned to body amplification.

The Qi Realm had the Spiritual Foundation and the Mental Realm had the soul. So, what part of the Body Realm could be co-opted and amplified to give her a simpler, more manageable boost?

The obvious choice was the heart, but Ryu rejected this outright. That was because if she just amplified her heart, then it would be like using a Berserk skill. They were double edged swords and she would harm herself.

'That would happen with everything, though...' Ryu thought. '... so long as its an amplification of the Body Realm, if her flesh can't handle it, it'll cause harm...'

Ryu nodded to himself and was about to scrap the idea and just make it a Qi Realm method when he felt another flash of inspiration.

Wasn't Blood Essence hidden in the Seven Corporeal Souls as well? Not only was it hidden within it, but weren't the Martial God Bloodlines capable of co-opting the Seven Corporeal Spirits to force change as well?

What if he added to the circulation pattern, roping in Elena's Bloodline?

'Using a Bloodline capable of amplifying to amplify itself? That sounds like circular logic, it would never work unless there was an external source of power...'

Ryu wracked his brain, thinking of special pills and treasures he could forge for his wife before he practically slapped his forehead.

He had almost forgotten because she never displayed them, but in all of this he had forgotten something so important.

Elena's wings! That's what they were there for to begin with, they were ingrained with runes that could take from the environment to boost the owner.

He didn't need to think of a solution, Elena's body already had one.

'Perfect...'

It seemed that Ryu had been thinking about this matter for a long while, but after using four techniques as a reference, Ryu had already created the path for Elena to follow, he just needed to fuse them.

He pulled out an empty jade he had prepared previously and began to furiously inscribe his thoughts.

An Origin Flame flickered upon his forehead, dancing with golden hues before he pulled back, exhaling a breath.

'Just in time...' Ryu exhaled.

He took Elena's hand and placed the jade within, wrapping it with her fingers as the skies suddenly shook.

It seemed trouble was finally here.
