Chapter 405: A Dilemma!
Chapter 405: A Dilemma!
The more Li Yun thought about it, the more likely he felt this possibility was.
After all, Bloodline Power itself was already considered an extremely mysterious force. Even the Dragon Emperor, despite being the former number one powerhouse of the Southern Martial Domain, might not have fully excavated every secret hidden within the bloodline.
However, Li Yun was different.
He possessed the EXP System.
As long as he accumulated enough EXP, he could continuously evolve and unlock the hidden potential of everything he possessed, including the Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline itself.
In other words, as long as he had sufficient EXP, Li Yun could theoretically fully awaken every hidden ability buried within the bloodline.
Thinking about this, excitement flashed faintly through Li Yun’s eyes.
However, that excitement quickly turned into helplessness after he saw the terrifying EXP requirement.
"Still..."
"Fifty thousand EXP just to unlock a single Bloodline Ability is absolutely insane."
Li Yun could not help sighing bitterly.
He immediately recalled that the second evolution of the Nine Tribulation Divine Eye had also required fifty thousand EXP.
And that was not all.
Li Yun clearly remembered that advancing his spirit soul and comprehension abilities to 7th tier in the future would likely require another massive amount of EXP as well.
Just thinking about the terrifying numbers gave him a headache.
"God..."
"I seriously need a huge amount of EXP right now."
Li Yun sighed deeply while shaking his head helplessly.
At this point, he could only hope that after entering the Eastern Martial Domain, the system would begin issuing missions capable of rewarding large amounts of EXP.
Otherwise, even with all the heaven-defying abilities he possessed, progressing further would become extremely difficult.
"I currently have one hundred and eighteen thousand EXP..."
Li Yun muttered softly while falling into deep thought.
"That amount is already enough to raise both my Spirit Soul and Comprehension to the seventh tier. However, it is also enough for me to undergo the second tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye and unlock the first Bloodline Ability of the Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline together."
As he analyzed the situation carefully, Li Yun gradually became thoughtful.
Every option before him offered enormous benefits.
Advancing his Spirit Soul and Comprehension would greatly enhance his perception, understanding ability, and comprehension speed.
Meanwhile, the second tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye would undoubtedly strengthen one of his greatest trump cards even further.
As for unlocking the first Bloodline Ability of the Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline, that would likely provide him with an entirely new source of terrifying combat power.
For a moment, even Li Yun found it difficult to decide which path he should prioritize first.
After thinking silently for some time, Li Yun finally shook his head slowly.
"There is actually no urgent need for me to evolve any of these abilities right now."
Li Yun’s eyes gradually became calm.
"At the moment, I do not have the luxury of entering long-term seclusion. Because of that, advancing my Spirit Soul and Comprehension right now would honestly be somewhat wasteful."
After all, the greatest advantage of improved comprehension and spirit power was their ability to dramatically increase his comprehension speed and entering a state of enlightenment.
However, Li Yun was about to depart for the Eastern Martial Domain soon.
During this period, he simply did not possess enough stable time to fully utilize those advantages. And in that scenario, the enlightenment state would be wasted.
"As for the second tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Divine Eye, I would need to prepare a lot for this and currently I don’t have time for that too."
Li Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.
"As for unlocking the Bloodline Ability, I can do that anytime now so I don’t need to worry about that."
As he reached this conclusion, a faint smile gradually appeared on Li Yun’s face.
"I should preserve the EXP for now."
"Once I leave for the Eastern Martial Domain, I can decide which evolution to prioritize depending on the situation."
"And if I manage to obtain another large amount of EXP during the next few days, then naturally everything will become much easier."
Having already made up his mind, Li Yun no longer continued thinking about the matter.
He directly left the Martial Ascension Gate and headed toward Azure Wind City.
With Li Yun’s current cultivation and speed, the vast distance that once required an exhausting journey now seemed insignificant.
In only a few short hours, Li Yun had already returned to Azure Wind City.
Looking at the familiar city standing beneath the setting sun, a faint ripple appeared within Li Yun’s calm eyes.
No matter how far he traveled in the future, this place would always remain the location where everything first began for him.
Without stopping, Li Yun directly headed toward the Li Family estate.
However, the moment he stepped through the gates of the estate, the entire Li Family instantly descended into chaos.
"It’s Senior Brother Li Yun!"
"Senior Brother Li Yun has returned!"
"Heavens, it really is him!"
The younger generation disciples of the Li Family immediately recognized Li Yun the instant they saw him.
Excited shouts continuously rang throughout the estate as more and more young disciples rushed over from every direction.
At this moment, Li Yun’s reputation within the Li Family had already reached an unimaginable level.
After all, he was no longer merely a disciple of the Martial Ascension Gate.
He was now the champion of the Hidden Dragon Tournament and the Heavenly Pride Supreme of the entire Southern Martial Domain.
To the younger generation of the Li Family, Li Yun had already become a legendary figure.
One after another, the young disciples looked toward him with eyes filled with worship and excitement.
Some nervously shouted "Senior Brother Li Yun," while others called him "Young Master Li Yun" with expressions filled with admiration.
However, Li Yun did not remain outside for long.
He merely smiled lightly toward the younger disciples before continuing deeper into the estate.
Along the way, Li Yun suddenly stopped.
Not far ahead stood an elderly figure dressed in plain robes.
The moment Li Yun saw him, a trace of warmth immediately appeared in his eyes.
"Ninth Elder."
This elder was precisely the person who had first introduced Li Yun to the arts of pharmacy and potion refinement during his younger days.
Back then, when Li Yun was still weak and unknown, the Ninth Elder had quietly taught him many things without asking for anything in return.
Li Yun naturally remembered such kindness clearly.
Without hesitation, Li Yun respectfully cupped his fists toward the Ninth Elder.
