Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou felt as if he had entered a colorful world, a world filled with seven-colored light. These lights continuously entered his body, merging into his bloodline.

The lights grew more and more numerous, expanding his blood vessels, causing immense pain. Yet, within this pain, there was an indescribable sense of comfort; truly, it was a bittersweet experience.

He also saw that with the entry of the seven-colored light, his body began to rapidly heal. His extremely severe injuries quickly disappeared, and moreover, many black substances were expelled from within. He was slightly surprised, wondering if these were impurities from his body.

It shouldn't be, he thought. He had cultivated for many years, and every inch of his flesh was clean. How could there still be so many impurities?

He couldn't concern himself with it for long, because he suddenly heard a crisp cracking sound. To his astonishment, the bottlenecks in his martial and divine paths, which he had been unable to break through for so long, shattered simultaneously.

At that moment, boundless power erupted from within him, allowing him to easily achieve the third realm of both martial and divine paths: the Bone Forging Realm and the Golden Core Realm.

Achieving the Golden Core, needless to say, increased his lifespan, enhanced his divine power, and made him even stronger. Most importantly, once one entered the Golden Core Realm, a sword cultivator could refine their Natal Flying Sword.

Once a Natal Flying Sword was refined, you were no longer an ordinary sword cultivator, but an invincible existence among sword cultivators.

Achieving Bone Forging was also a very important step on the martial path. From then on, you could cultivate divine bones, removing mortal impurities from your bones, making them increasingly transparent and harder.

There was also a special event that would make this a huge dividing line for martial artists: bloodline awakening.

Bloodline awakening in martial arts had something in common with Natal Flying Swords in divine arts. Ordinary cultivators would ultimately only be ordinary martial arts cultivators.

However, the terrifying strength of a martial arts cultivator who had awakened their bloodline would make martial arts cultivators of the same level unable to catch up.

Because of the differences in various bloodlines, there were also differences in the awakening of martial artists, and their strength was incalculable.

There were only two ways to awaken a bloodline: one was through the awakening of one's own bloodline, which was very rare but also the most powerful; the other was through acquiring the bloodline of a great demon through acquired opportunities, which was the most common.

However, acquiring the bloodline of a great demon was not something that ordinary people could obtain. The person's cultivation must be extraordinary and peerless.

These people were generally the leaders of major sects, or the invincible existences in the imperial court, or the old ancestors of those immortal cultivation families.

To obtain such a bloodline, relying on personal strength, unless you had heaven-defying luck, you could only join a sect, or have a powerful family as a backer, or be a descendant of a noble in the imperial court, and only then would you have the opportunity to obtain that extremely rare great demon's blood essence.

Having the great demon's blood essence, did you think it was over? You also needed to have talent and excellent aptitude, and of course, you couldn't lack opportunities. The three combined together, and only then would it be possible to awaken the bloodline. It wasn't just a matter of having a few drops of the great demon's blood essence.

That's why it was said that the martial path was difficult, as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

For ordinary people, the probability of awakening a bloodline was ridiculously low. It had to be said that Li Ergou was really lucky, having great luck.

He inexplicably absorbed the egg liquid contained in the Heavenly Silkworm Divine Egg for countless years. Perhaps the amount of egg liquid was large enough to directly activate his bloodline power.

You must know that ordinary people only get a few drops of the great demon's blood essence, but what about him? He directly ate the other party's source power. Perhaps this was the real reason why he was able to open his bloodline.

And his bloodline power was refined acquiredly, so what was opened was also the Heavenly Silkworm bloodline.

This mutated Heavenly Silkworm was a descendant of the ancient remnant species, the Golden Light Silkworm. Who knew what it combined with to give birth to this Heavenly Silkworm Divine Egg.

The biggest advantage of the Heavenly Silkworm was that it could constantly be reborn through Nirvana. Its Nirvana was somewhat different from the Nirvana of the Heavenly Phoenix clan.

Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana, rebirth from fire, was when a Heavenly Phoenix bloodline cultivator, when their cultivation reached a certain level, would immolate themselves and be reborn from the ashes, endlessly circulating, achieving immortality.

The Heavenly Silkworm, on the other hand, did not deliberately die, but after death, they could activate the Heavenly Silkworm bloodline and be reborn from the cocoon within a period of time.

Moreover, every time after experiencing life and death, the Heavenly Silkworm bloodline would make your strength even better.

It's just that the Heavenly Silkworm bloodline was rare, and it was still a mutated Heavenly Silkworm bloodline. Who knew if a person would really be resurrected after death? After all, no one could joke about their own life.

Therefore, this bloodline was neither good nor bad. When alive, you couldn't get much help. If you died, there was uncertainty. It was really an unfathomable, useless bloodline.

There were also very broad bloodlines of martial arts cultivators, such as the Immortal bloodline, the Reincarnation bloodline, the Golden Dragon bloodline, the Heavenly Phoenix bloodline, and so on. The number of bloodlines was countless.

If you asked what bloodline in the world was the most powerful, this question was difficult to answer, because no matter what kind of bloodline, when cultivated to the extreme, it was an invincible existence.

Each bloodline had its own unique advantages. If you had to get to the bottom of it, then I can only tell you that there was no strongest, only stronger.

Outside, True Person Black Serpent, Holy Maiden Snowflake, Wu the Blind, and Xiaoxiao were all quite surprised to see the magical scene before them.

Because at this moment, a huge silkworm cocoon, about ten feet in size, had formed around Li Ergou.

True Person Black Serpent said in surprise: "How could this be?"

Wu the Blind widened his eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be, no way, is it destiny, is it really destiny? Could it be that this Heavenly Silkworm Divine Egg has not hatched for thousands of years, just to wait for its destined person?

Hahaha, hahaha, I didn't expect that our Rending Sky Gate has guarded it for countless years, even at the cost of being destroyed, and has ended up making a wedding dress for others for nothing."

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Xiaoxiao beside him and said: "Xiaoxiao, we can't let this guy take all the advantages.

If you can leave alive, you will follow this Li Ergou from now on, which can be regarded as compensation for our Rending Sky Gate.

And you are also the last disciple of my Rending Sky Gate, and the burden of restoring the Rending Sky Gate will be entrusted to you."

Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, thinking, what does this have to do with me? But looking at her grandfather's pleading look, she could only nod and say: "Grandpa, I know, don't worry, I will definitely restore our Rending Sky Gate and make it the most powerful sect in our Great Xia."

Hearing this, Wu the Blind was happy, with a satisfied smile on his face, at least the Rending Sky Gate had hope, didn't it? At least after he went down, he had a reason to face the ancestors.

Holy Maiden Snowflake also sighed, only feeling that Li Ergou had gained a great advantage. Although she didn't know what was happening inside the cocoon at the moment, based on her many years of experience, this guy had gained great benefits.

Suddenly, she remembered something, that a few years ago, she divined the secrets of heaven, and there was a great opportunity in Tiangou Town, so she asked her grandson Lu Changsheng to fight for it.

However, at the beginning, she did not tell her grandson the truth, after all, this kind of thing, if leaked, even she would be condemned by heaven, and could only be carried out secretly.

After her grandson came back, he told her about the release, the process of release, and the fact that he met someone who also released with him.

At that time, she couldn't help but sigh, man's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations, the opportunity of heaven and earth, she took the lead, but still let others get the opportunity. Now she remembered that the person who robbed her grandson's opportunity was this Li Ergou.

It seems that Li Ergou's luck is really unusual. She calculated like that, but still did not succeed. Now this kid has accidentally gained such a great opportunity again. He is really the darling of fate.

Fortunately, this kid has a simple mind and is on her side, otherwise, it would be terrible.

After saying so much, it was actually just everyone's thoughts in an instant. Seeing this, True Person Black Serpent's eyes flashed with a fierce look. Without any more hesitation, he sacrificed the black small sword and slashed it at the cocoon.
