Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 383 Tang Xinyue’s Request

"Why?" Xu Ping’an asked, puzzled.

In fact, from the beginning, he had been curious. It was definitely no coincidence that Tang Xinyue sought him out; it was intentional.

Later, Tang Xinyue left the others outside the cave dwelling, but brought him, a foreigner, inside, which obviously did not make sense.

Previously, Xu Ping’an thought she was going to use a secret technique to extract his lifespan.

But now, he felt something was off.

"I’m telling you to come down," Tang Xinyue commanded with a look in her eyes.

"I need a reason," Xu Ping’an said coldly, his tone resolute.

He was not someone whose wits could be clouded by lust, even though Tang Xinyue was quite attractive.

But he was not at the point of forgetting everything at the sight of a woman.

Tang Xinyue wanted him to come down for some other purpose.

Tang Xinyue stared at Xu Ping’an with a struggling look in her eyes.

In the end, she finally caved in and took a deep breath, "I want to strip the Chaotic Flame bloodline from my body and transfer it to yours, so you can possess the Chaotic Flame bloodline."

"Eh? Give me your Chaotic Flame bloodline? Why?" Xu Ping’an asked, his face full of astonishment.

He hadn’t expected Tang Xinyue’s invitation to descend so she could strip her own bloodline to implant it within him.

Normally, stripping a bloodline is very difficult, especially without harming oneself.

But in this Primordial True Spirit Liquid, it was possible.

He originally lacked a Fire Attribute Spirit Root and wouldn’t have been able to accept a bloodline.

Yet in this Primordial True Spirit Liquid, he could develop a Fire Attribute Physique, thus absorbing Tang Xinyue’s bloodline without any problem.

"Because I want to absorb the bloodline within this drop of essence blood," Tang Xinyue stated.

As she spoke, a jade vial appeared in her hand.

And within the vial was a drop of crimson blood.

Xu Ping’an was immediately startled; even through the jade vial, he could feel the vast, ocean-like power contained within the essence blood.

This force was extremely potent, powerful to a terrifying degree.

Xu Ping’an knew of the Immortal Emperor’s essence blood, even in his previous life his essence blood, or even his heart’s blood, might not possess such formidable power.

"Is this Divine Blood?" Xu Ping’an asked in shock.

"Yes, and it’s not ordinary Divine Blood, but one that contains the strongest Fire Attribute Physique, the Primeval Divine Fire Physique," Tang Xinyue said.

"The Primeval Divine Fire Physique? The strongest Fire Attribute Physique, surpassing the Physique of Chaotic Flame, recognized as a Divine Body above all first-rate physiques?" Xu Ping’an exclaimed in surprise.

He had not expected Tang Xinyue to possess essence blood of such a bloodline.

A Divine Body, supreme above the four specialized physique types.

Such a physique existed only in legends.

Xu Ping’an in his previous life had also researched this, and there were no Divine Bodies in the world.

But now, the essence blood in Tang Xinyue’s hands made Xu Ping’an doubtful.

"With this essence blood, can you evolve a legendary Divine Body?" Xu Ping’an inquired.

"Originally, without stripping the Chaotic Bloodline, my chances were only one in ten. With the Chaotic Flame bloodline stripped away, there’s a thirty percent chance of success," Tang Xinyue revealed with a hint of frenzy in her eyes.

"Only thirty percent? Why do you want to do this? The difference between the Chaotic Bloodline and the Divine Bloodline can’t be that great, right?" Xu Ping’an asked in surprise.

Tang Xinyue was taking an enormous risk.

A mere thirty percent, and she dared to gamble?

"No, you’re wrong; the difference is significant. In reality, the Chaotic Bloodline merely has an extremely diluted essence of Chaotic Power. Such power may be strong in the Mortal Realm and even the Spirit Realm, but compared to the Divine Realm, it’s not much," Tang Xinyue explained.

"The Divine Realm? You know about the Divine Realm?" Xu Ping’an asked, surprised.

"I know some, but not much. A Divine Body exists only in the Divine Realm. If I succeed, I will be the only Divine Body in the Fifth Realms. My path forward will reach a whole new level, and most importantly, I will not be constrained by the path of the Immortal Emperor," Tang Xinyue earnestly looked at Xu Ping’an.

Her gaze was exceptionally resolute.

While Xu Ping’an was shocked by Tang Xinyue’s ambition, he was also surprised by the information she shared.

Achieving a Divine Bloodline allows one to break free from the shackles of the Immortal Emperor’s path?

Is there such a saying?

"Isn’t it said that the path of the Immortal Emperor is broken? How can you continue on it by achieving a bloodline?" Xu Ping’an asked.

Tang Xinyue looked at Xu Ping’an with surprise before explaining, "What’s broken is the path between the Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm, not the Divine Realm’s path. By achieving a Divine Vein, I walk the path of the Divine Realm, and in the future, I can also traverse the void to the Divine Realm."

Xu Ping’an was shocked in his heart.

The path between the Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm is broken, but the Divine Realm’s is not?

Does this mean that it is impossible to cultivate to become an Immortal Emperor in both the Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm?

Either one’s own bloodline is of the Divine Realm, or one must cultivate in the Divine Realm?

At this moment, Xu Ping’an felt as if he had heard a huge secret.

"If that is the case, why didn’t you just find anyone to give your bloodline to? Why choose me?" Xu Ping’an asked, puzzled.

From the beginning, he had this doubt.

"The Chaotic Bloodline is not something anyone can bear. Those who can endure this first-class bloodline physique are one in a million. Moreover, the person who accepts my bloodline must be a man, as for why, I’m not clear," Tang Xinyue explained.

Xu Ping’an silently looked at Tang Xinyue, as this reason was still not enough for him.

Tang Xinyue looked back at Xu Ping’an, and finally bit her red lips before continuing, "Furthermore, for the bloodline to be transferred, there must be a moment of physical pact. If it can’t be achieved, the bloodline transfer will be impossible, and you are the only one with a marital promise to me, so I can only choose you."

"Physical pact?" Xu Ping’an was stunned.

He hadn’t realized there was such a requirement for bloodline transfer.

A physical pact means that, for a moment, Xu Ping’an will have to perceive Tang Xinyue’s body.

Thus, for a moment, Xu Ping’an could clearly perceive every detail of Tang Xinyue’s body.

Similarly, Tang Xinyue could also sense every detail of Xu Ping’an’s body in an instant.

This meant that, apart from memories, all of Xu Ping’an’s secrets would no longer be secrets to Tang Xinyue.

And the same was true for Tang Xinyue.

This kind of physical pact can be said to be even more intimate than the love between a man and a woman.

"Just because I am promised to you in marriage, that’s why you chose me?" Xu Ping’an was still somewhat incredulous.

"Yes, I have no other choice. If you can help me, not only will you gain the powerful physique of the Chaotic Flame, but if I successfully awaken the Primeval Divine Fire Physique and light the Primeval Divine Fire afterward, I can help you become a powerful Immortal Emperor," Tang Xinyue said.

Xu Ping’an smiled.

Help him become an Immortal Emperor?

He was an Immortal Emperor in his previous life, so becoming one was not difficult for him.

In this life, he sought to achieve even greater heights.

He wanted to break through the Immortal Emperor, he wanted to become a god.

Of course, he would not say these words.

"There’s no need to help me become an Immortal Emperor. I have one last question: if I really do help you succeed, what would our relationship be?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

This time Tang Xinyue quickly gave an answer: "We have no relationship, because the path I am about to take will be solitary through the ages. But rest assured, I will guard my chastity like a jade and will never allow anyone to have me. Consider it a gesture to you."

"Alright, in that case, let’s begin," Xu Ping’an immediately responded.

After speaking, he walked towards the Primordial True Spirit Liquid.

As soon as he stepped into the pool, Xu Ping’an felt a terrifying power instantly searing his body.

Xu Ping’an immediately felt an intense pain that made him frown involuntarily.

He then immediately operated his cultivation technique, voraciously devouring this power.

At this moment, the power of his heart was continuously rising.

Not only that but his True Yuan was mutating at a rapid pace.

However, when Tang Xinyue saw Xu Ping’an’s body, her face suddenly flushed red.

This was the first time she had ever seen a man’s body.
