Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 404: 404

While Xue Wei was rooted in his thoughts, Ghost Sword Lin Xuan arrived at the study, looking stoic .

His body was sturdy, and his face expressionless .

He was polite as he bowed to the people present, but even when looking at Xue Wei did he not display any surprise, instead he showed utmost respect .

Anyone who was able to have gathered the Retired Emperor, the Grand Elder, and the current Emperor had to be a person of utmost importance, and he dared not be complacent .

The older men present were all pleased with his way of behaving, and they nodded amiably to him .

"Lin Xuan, we can give you strength, unlike any you have ever encountered before . We can purify your bloodline and make you mutate to a stage where you have never been before .

"Unfortunately, this boost in strength comes with an expensive cost, you have to withstand a lot of pain, and if you cannot handle it, then you might die or become a cripple .

"The strength you get is a bloodline that is unlike before, and your potential will soar .

"You have been stuck at the Sky Saint ninth layer for a long time, but with this mutation, you might be able to reach a higher realm; only the heavens will know your final destination . "

The more the current Emperor spoke, the shinier, the eyes of Lin Xuan became .

His race limited Lin Xuan . Although he could become a Saint, and even a Sky Saint, he was unable to advance further with his current bloodline .

He had tried for a decade to break through, but he had failed time and time again, which had proven that his limits had been reached .

When he heard that there was a chance to break through, a chance to get a new foundation and to improve his potential, his eyes shone with light and excitement . Even if there was a risk of dying, he was willing to take the chance .

Xue Wei looked at him, "cut your arm," he said, and the man, without hesitation, took his arm and cut a long gash on it . Xue Wei also cut a wound on his arm, and the blood dripped down on Lin Xuan’s open wound .

Lin Xuan felt an intense pain spike into his body with each drop of blood that merged with his body . The spikes increased in intensity, and he started trembling .

After dropping around fifty drops of blood onto the Ghost Sword’s arm, Xue Wei wiped his wound and used his wood affinity to heal it .

As he stopped bleeding, he continued to look at Primordial Beast in front of him, who was convulsing in pain but refusing to let out even the slightest sound .

Xue Wei was apathetic as he looked at the Primordial Beast . He had no clue if he had used too much blood or too little . He only knew that he had taken a guess and hoped that it would work out .

The Emperor was more worried . Lin Xuan was one of his most important generals, so if something happened, it would be quite bad for his army .

The Retired Emperor and the Great Elder was also quite worried . The only one who was completely carefree was Xue Wei .

"How long does it take usually?" the Emperor asked Xue Wei, who shrugged his shoulders .

"My friend is a lot weaker than this Ghost Sword Lin Xuan, but he took quite some time . I expect at least one day for this man, even when considering his strength . "

"Do you mind staying with us?" The Retired Emperor asked tentatively . They had no experience with these mutations, so they would feel much more at peace if he stayed to look at it .

Xue Wei nodded his head . "If we can get someone to tell my friends that I will be busy for a few days, then I do not mind staying here until we are done .

"Also, I suggest that we do not mutate more before we know if this is a success or not . "

The others nodded their heads and agreed silently . As their eyes landed on the general on the ground, they found that he had stopped trembling, but he had lost consciousness .

His hair was growing at a rapid pace; the color was changing from black to azure blue .

"What race is he?" Xue Wei asked curiously .

"A Black Willow Swallow," the current Emperor said . "The Black Willow Swallow is a swift bird, and this Ghost Sword Lin Xuan specializes in speed .

"His sword is so fast that it is near impossible to see with the naked eye; his flying skills also admirable . "

Xue Wei nodded his head . He was not surprised that it was a bird, but he had not expected it to be a swallow .

This man was big and sturdy, but a swallow was small and agile, he was suddenly disillusioned .

Like this, Xue Wei decided to sit down and cultivate . He did not doubt that the mutation would take a lot of time, and he was not willing to waste any moment that he could spend cultivate, so he sat down crosslegged and began controlling his breathing .

The three older men within the room were all appreciative when they saw that Xue Wei was not even willing to waste a moment that could be used cultivating .

Like this, two days went by . Xue Wei was still not able to break through the bottleneck that was between him and the second layer of the Ordinary Saint rank, but he was very close and could feel how the bottleneck was loosening .

As he was feeling the bottleneck loosening, a screech suddenly resounded in the room, dragging him from his cultivation . As he opened his eyes, he looked at the mutated Lin Xuan, who had managed to break through to the Heavenly Saint tier .
