The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 68: Upgraded Bloodline

As the pressure releasing from the Myriad God Sword increased, the Sword of Despair began floating in front of Jian Shen.

"This defective sword! It can't even control its own power!"

While no response was received, the red mist no longer covered them, but instead rushed straight up.

Soon, it reached the sky and exploded to depict the image of a red angry tailed fox. The image was so big, bright, and vivid, that almost everyone in the Mortal Realm could see it.

However, after they noticed that the weird signs were coming from the direction of the Endless Forest, almost everyone went back to whatever they were doing.

Because other than those few who didn't care for their lives, most of them wouldn't even take a single step inside the Endless Forest.

After all, every sane individual knew that going inside the Endless Forest was a one way trip to death.

And what was the worth of obtaining a heaven defying treasure, if they died to obtain it?

After a while, the red glow died down, and the Myriad God Sword flew into Jian Shen's arms.

Holding the sword, Jian Shen could sense that it had changed on the inside. But could not accurately describe what he was feeling from it.

On the outside, however, only one thing had changed.

And that was, that on the black side of the hilt, there was now the image of a Scarlet Tailed Fox.

"Sorry for the commotion, but I can't help it. The same things going to happen every time I fuse with another one of the pieces."

"Then how come nothing happened the previous time? You know, when the Heavenly Dragon Sword and the Ethereal Phoenix Sword were fused together?"

"That's because those two swords were meant to be together! Just like you and me! And not forced to coexist, like you and the stalker."

Noticing that this would soon turn into a fight from how violently the Sword of Despair was trembling, Jian Shen decided to nip it at its bud.

"Hhaaaaaa! I'm feeling very tired, goodnight!"

Letting out another fake yawn, Jian Shen immediately lied down on the floor and rested his head on his arms.

Despite knowing that Jian Shen was acting, the two swords didn't try to wake him up, but started quibbling at each other.

"Good going, broken sword. My husband is forcing himself to sleep in the middle of the wilderness because of you!"

"Me? Humph! I'm not even going to justify your question, by responding to it."

After a few more minutes of bickering, which Jian Shen who was awake could hear, the Myriad God Sword flew down and touched Jian Shen's palm with the hilt.

Once she did that, Jian Shen felt a mixture of cold and destructive elements make their way inside his body.

Luckily, after they went a little deeper, the elements mixed with his blazing hot Bloodline and no longer hurt him. Instead, after they joined, a warm sensation began spreading from the inside.

Due to which, Jian Shen drifted into sleep, while his body began changing due to the addition of two more Bloodlines.

...

Waking up, without even moving Jian Shen could sense that his body felt lighter and stronger at the same time.

However, it wasn't by too much. Which allowed him to understand that the new Bloodlines weren't related to his physique.

Getting to his feet, Jian Shen tried to sense what was different with his body.

But no matter what, he wasn't able to sense what truly changed due to obtaining two new Bloodlines.

Luckily, Qingyu who saw all of this, began explaining the details.

"Since you've already obtained the special ability from the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline, you won't be able to obtain any more special abilities."

"Instead, each of the other eight Bloodlines will allow you to train more easily in their respective element."

"That's it?"

Shaking her head, Qingyu said, "You're being too greedy, if you want to obtain a special ability from each of the Bloodline. And don't forget, that you can learn a special technique from each of the sword. What else could you ask for?"

Despite feeling that Qingyu's words had sense to them, Jian Shen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Luckily, Qingyu's next words made him feel a little better.

"Also, now that you have three of the nine Bloodlines, you can cultivate the Myriad Sword Cultivation Technique more easily."

"Is that so?"

"Yes! Previously, you only had the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline. So if you tried to cultivate the Myriad Sword Cultivation Technique, you would have had to spend 9 times the effort, to just maintain the same speed of cultivation you had when using the Heavenly Dragon Cultivation Technique."

"Bur now that you have three Bloodlines, you only need to spend 6 times the effort to maintain your cultivation speed!"

"6 times?!!!"

"Of course. Since you will obtain the power to use nine elements, and effectively be nine times as strong as your opponents on the same level of cultivation. How could it be easy to cultivate the complete Myriad Sword Cultivation Technique, with just a third of the complete Bloodline?"

"When you say it like that, it does make some sense. But if I focus all of my effort on cultivation, I won't be able to train on the Path of Sword. However, if I slack when cultivating, I'll fall behind others in my generation!"

Just as Jian Shen was about to think that his life had turned a whole lot harder, without him doing anything, he heard Qingyu's sweet chuckle.

"Don't worry so much, Jian Shen. Have you already forgotten the fact that your World Crest is filled with resources to help you cultivate?"

"Also, even though I hate to say it, you remember the special powers of your Heavenly Dragon Bloodline, right?"
