Thinking of this, Zhang Tian began to harness his own essence blood.
Essence blood, as it were, could be accurately utilized by any cultivator.
Zhang Tian had even used essence blood to escape before.
The so-called essence blood was merely a few drops of the most concentrated and powerful substance within a cultivator's body.
A cultivator's strength could be gauged by their essence blood.
At present, Zhang Tian could only manifest at most ten drops.
And the recovery of each drop was almost as difficult as scaling the heavens.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, few people would use essence blood; it was only employed in dire emergencies.
As Zhang Tian began to sense the power within his essence blood, he gradually experienced some strange sensations.
Zhang Tian knew these were signs of successful comprehension.
He had felt this sensation before when comprehending his dantian.
As Zhang Tian delved deeper.
He gradually discovered that the power contained within a single drop of essence blood was far greater than he had imagined.
It was even several times stronger than when he unleashed his full current strength.
While marveling in his heart, a sudden explosion erupted in Zhang Tian's mind.
"Ao"
The sound was like a spring thunderclap, resounding in Zhang Tian's heart.
Zhang Tian jolted as if struck.
He had never experienced such a sensation before.
"What is this sound?"
"It doesn't sound like an animal's cry."
Zhang Tian's eyes were filled with confusion.
This was the first time he had ever heard such a sound.
He was absolutely certain that other animals could not possibly produce such a sound.
"This kind of animal, I've never even heard of it, could it be..."
Suddenly, Zhang Tian thought of something significant.
Could this creature be the legendary Qilin!
Once this thought entered Zhang Tian's mind, he couldn't shake it.
Zhang Tian felt that the probability of it being a Qilin was exceedingly high.
Because no other animal had ever made such a sound.
The sound was like a blend of a deer and some strange creature, peculiar and unlike any sound in the animal kingdom.
With these thoughts, Zhang Tian quickly immersed himself.
While Zhang Tian was cultivating, outside.
A strange power surged from Zhang Qilin's body.
Behind Zhang Qilin's figure, a Qilin phantom emitting red light slowly rose.
The Qilin exuded an intense heat, as if it would melt at any moment.
It was this intense temperature that caused Fatty and the others, who were cultivating, to suddenly open their eyes.
"So strange, so hot. Shouldn't Boss's space be warm in winter and cool in summer?"
"How could it be so hot?"
Fatty stripped off all his armor and clothing, leaving only his shorts.
His gaze turned towards the source of the heat.
Upon seeing a phantom, Fatty was stunned.
The phantom before him had a bizarre appearance: a red body, scales like a dragon, and even a horn on its head, looking like a completely unknown creature.
The power emanating from this creature sent a chill down Fatty's spine.
"What is this power?"
Fatty muttered, perplexed as to why his second brother could unleash such an aura.
Wu Tianzhen and the others also awoke.
They looked at Zhang Qilin.
"What is that?"
Wu Tianzhen asked.
"It should be bloodline."
Hu Bayi replied, somewhat shocked that bloodline could manifest like this.
"This is a phantom condensed from bloodline, awakening. His talent is very high."
Queen Jingjue's voice echoed.
Her eyes also held a trace of disbelief.
Zhang Qilin had developed a bloodline phantom in just a few days, while Zhang Tian showed no such aura.
This indicated that Zhang Qilin's comprehension was far superior to Zhang Tian's.
"It's a shame for such a talented individual to be a puppet."
Queen Jingjue thought to herself, shaking her head, and then looked at Zhang Tian.
"His comprehension is also good, just a bit lacking. And his bloodline is not as strong as Zhang Tian's, likely due to several generations of distance."
Queen Jingjue mused, instantly discerning the reason.
This was because Queen Jingjue had long awakened her own bloodline.
When Queen Jingjue helped Zhang Tian pass the demon tower before, the fire snake she conjured was her bloodline illusion.
Upon full bloodline awakening, one could manifest an illusion.
It was this illusion that allowed the full extent of one's power to be displayed.
Queen Jingjue's bloodline was that of a snake, as she was a descendant of Nuwa, and a residual trace of her bloodline was normal.
If they were to be compared strictly, Queen Jingjue's bloodline was inferior to Zhang Tian's.
Despite being a descendant of Nuwa, the residual bloodline was too scarce.
Less than one in ten thousand, and it had degenerated into that of a snake, making the power vastly different.
Even though Zhang Tian's bloodline was that of a Qilin, it was a complete Qilin, not degenerated into a deer or other creature, hence it was stronger.
"I hope they succeed."
Queen Jingjue thought to herself, her gaze fixed upwards.
"Oh, have you noticed? There's day and night in Boss's space now."
Fatty exclaimed in amazement, looking at the dark world.
Hu Bayi also looked around with surprise.
Indeed, Zhang Tian's space had always been bright; there was no night before.
Now, there was even night.
This indicated that Zhang Tian had upgraded this space once more.
"Cultivating here is truly wonderful."
Wu Tianzhen couldn't help but sigh.
He dared not waste any time.
After all, cultivating here was a rare opportunity.
Every extra second spent here was a blessing for Wu Tianzhen.
Given the strict conditions for entering and cultivating in Zhang Tian's space,
Now that they could enter for free, Wu Tianzhen naturally chose to cultivate as much as possible.
"Fatty, stop looking and cultivate quickly."
Hu Bayi said, and Fatty also withdrew his gaze from Zhang Qilin.
Fatty closed his eyes and entered a state of cultivation.
Time passed quickly.
Zhang Tian kept his eyes closed, and an unknown number of days went by.
Gradually, Zhang Tian felt a scorching heat like lightning all around him.
A red shadow appeared in his mind.
Zhang Tian stared at this shadow in shock.
"Could this be my bloodline illusion?"
Zhang Tian thought to himself.
But in the next moment, the shadow actually spoke.
"It's me."
The voice was familiar.
Zhang Tian thought for a moment and understood who it was.
Wasn't this the Qilin?
"Why did you turn into a Qilin?"
Zhang Tian looked at the figure before him.
Zhang Qilin had transformed into a Fire Qilin and entered his mind.
This made Zhang Tian feel both strange and marvelous.
Then, Zhang Qilin spoke again.
"Try to awaken the divine beast within your heart."
"Follow its will, and you can easily find its presence."
After Zhang Qilin finished speaking, the phantom disappeared from Zhang Tian's mind.
Zhang Tian knew that Zhang Qilin was reminding him.
Following Zhang Qilin's words, Zhang Tian began to comprehend further.
He poured his entire heart and soul into it.
His mind began to constantly awaken the divine beast hidden within his bloodline.
Since hearing a groan last time, Zhang Tian had not heard it again. But after calling out more than ten times, a sudden groan reappeared!
