Chapter 590 - Bloodline Strengthening?

Little Shrubby’s Nascent Soul that had just been born was small, and looked like a kitten. It had its eyes closed and was curled up with its face hiding in its tail. It had the same patterns as that of Little Shrubby too.

~HONG~

The spirit Qi in the environment starter to stir as a vortex of spirit Qi formed around little Shrubby. It was now time for the infusion of spirit Qi.

~shua~

The cyclone of spirit Qi swirled around Little Shrubby’s body which also started to float in the air. The spirit Qi was soon turned into a dense mist as it started to pour into the Dantian.

The infusion of spirit Qi was not as shocking as that of Lin Mu, but it was still strong enough for most people to be shocked. It was already stronger than the combined spirit Qi infusion of the two snakes from before.

The seven illusory figures around little shrubby were also absorbing bits of spirit Qi along with it and were flickering. Lin Mu closely observed them and realized that among the seven beasts only two of them were the clearest.

The others were much more blurry compared to the Scorch Claw Tiger and the Flash Fire Liger.

"Hmm, I guess those are the two bloodlines that are currently dominant in Little Shrubby. His overall physique comes from the Flash Fire Liger while the heated claws come from the Scorch Claw Tiger.

Now that I think of it, out of the seven beasts, two of them are fire attribute beats, the Fume Wood Panther is a wood attribute beast, and the Thunder Bolt cheetah is a Lightning tribute beast.

The Brood Mane Lion and the Mirror Spot leopard don’t particularly have any attributes that they specialize in. But what about the Midnight Lynx? Is it the same as the previous two having no attribute?" Lin Mu wondered.

"Actually the Midnight Lynx has an attribute too," Xukong spoke.

"It does? What is it? I don’t think it is from any of the 12 elements." Lin Mu replied.

"You’re correct on that front. The Midnight Lynx does not have any of the 12 main elements of the cosmos. Rather it has the Shadow element, which is a derivative element of the Darkness attribute. It is rather rare and is not seen in most beasts of Little Shrubby’s kind." Xukong explained.

After hearing about the shadow element, Lin Mu furrowed his brows. He had learned about the Shadow element from the Lost Immortals memoirs. Most beings related to it were considered to be infamous across the many worlds.

"Senior the Taiji Celestial you talked about before, isn’t he the one who eliminated the Shadow Calamity which also used the shadow element?" Lin Mu asked.

"Yes, he did in a way... but that’s not the whole story. All you need to know is that the Shadow element itself is not bad, but rather the users. It’s just that... most of them turn out to be bad." Xukong replied.

"I understand." Lin Mu said with a nod.

While Lin Mu was conversing with Senior Xukong, Little Shrubby was completing his breakthrough. The tribulation clouds had already started to disappear and the cyclone of spirit Qi was also slowing down now.

Little Shrubby’s Dantian had already been replenished and it was now the illusory figures that were absorbing the remnant spirit Qi. Lin Mu reckoned this was the way by which they were going to negate the cost of using the Seven Beasts Burst.

But upon seeing the illusory beats absorb the spirit Qi, Lin Mu got an idea.

’Can that work?’ Lin Mu wondered.

Feeling curious about the idea that had just appeared in his mind, Lin Mu decided to go ahead with it. He closed his eyes and calmly chanted the Nurturing Heart Sutra. Soon a string of Beast Qi was refined in his Dantian.

He easily drew it out of his body and looked at it. The string of beast Qi was longer than before and was even a bit thicker. It was evident that his breakthrough into the Nascent Soul realm had boosted it.

As soon as the beast Qi appeared out of Lin Mu’s body though, the seven illusory figures of the beasts instantly looked at it. Little Shrubby himself was busy absorbing the spirit Qi and could not be bothered with anything else.

Seeing this strange response of the illusory beasts, surprised Lin Mu.

"Do they have a consciousness of their own?" Lin Mu asked.

"They don’t exactly have that. More like its instincts built into the very bloodline. Since the beast Qi has the effect of improving and evolving a bloodline, the illusory figures that are the representative of the bloodline will obviously respond." Xukong replied.

Lin Mu looked at the string of beast Qi that swirled above his palm for a moment, before sending it flying towards the Illusory figures.

~ROAR~

The seven illusory figures all pounced on it at once, but the one that managed to get it was the Flash Fire Liger as it was at the front and also fast. While the Thunder Bolt Cheetah was faster than the Flash Fire Liger, it was much weaker than it as the Flash Fire Liger was the dominant bloodline as of now.

The Flash Fire Liger immediately devoured the Beast Qi as its body glowed. The glow spread evenly around its body before it finally settled. But once it was settled, a difference in its transparency could be seen.

The illusory figure of the Flash Fire Liger had become slightly more opaque than before.

"Just as I thought... the beast Qi can direly affect them." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

His eyes wandered between the different illusory figures as a plan formed in his mind. Xukong also took a few peeks at Lin Mu’s ideas and reckoned that they might really work.

"If you are really going to use the Beast Qi to strengthen the bloodlines, you will need to be careful. Strengthen any particular bloodline too much and they will wreak havoc." Xukong warned.
