It began with a pulse—deep within the jade pendant gifted by his father.
As Long Tian's cultivation advanced and the True Immortal Azure Thunder Dragon Body reached its first stage, the pendant suddenly trembled with ancient power. Faint runes on its surface shimmered, and a hidden formation activated within.
Click—
A new space opened inside.
> "This pendant… it's more than just a keepsake."
Curious, he poured his consciousness inward.
The new floor was vast—like a celestial vault of treasures.
Ancient scrolls lined crystalline shelves. Martial arts beyond Qi Condensation glowed faintly with divine aura. Cultivation manuals, rare herbs, heavenly pills, array diagrams, pill refining cauldrons, weapon blueprints, talisman patterns—all organized like a legacy left behind by an ancient dragon clan.
And at the center, in a case made of black jade—
A bottle containing five drops of crimson-gold liquid.
> [Dragon God Blood – Sealed, Grade: Primordial Divine Essence]
Long Tian's heart pounded.
As he reached out, something inside him stirred. Deep in his blood, something ancient began to resonate. His Ancestral Dragon Jade glowed in response.
> "This blood… it calls to me."
But his instincts warned him—it was too powerful to take all at once.
He uncorked the bottle and consumed a single drop.
At first, nothing. Then—
Boom—
Lightning flashed around him. His meridians expanded. His heart thundered like a war drum. The blood within his veins began to change.
His body entered a deep cultivation state, absorbing and harmonizing with the drop.
Two days passed.
When he opened his eyes again, the cavern shook.
His aura had evolved.
> [Bloodline Advancement: Azure Thunder Dragon → Enhanced Azure Thunder Dragon (Primordial Traces Unlocked)]
> [Innate Attribute Awakened: Space]
Long Tian froze, stunned.
> "Space... the innate domain of true dragons."
A memory surfaced—dragons were born with dominion over space, phoenixes over time. The strength of the trait varied by lineage. His, however, surged high—refined by his father's essence and the Dragon God Blood.

Long Tian staggered back, stunned by the cascade of knowledge.
> "Array… to defend my land."
"Pill refining… to nourish and empower my allies."
"Weapon forging… to arm the worthy."
"Talismans… to shield the loyal."
"And… Thunder—my true element."
As he claimed the reward, his body convulsed again.
Crack!
A new trait flared to life—Thunder. Not ordinary lightning, but one touched with Divine Judgment, born from the Dragon God Blood and his own body cultivation.
His mind burned as ancient knowledge flooded in.
Intricate runes, alchemical methods, forging chants, talisman patterns—all engraved into his consciousness. Not learned, but remembered, as if they had always been there.
> "This… this is what it means to be a true heir."
---
Without hesitation, Long Tian summoned several core beasts to his side.
He issued a simple order: "Begin excavation of the Spirit Stone Vein I marked earlier."
Beasts bowed and scattered. Tools were unnecessary. Their claws and strength were enough. Within days, the first harvest of Spirit Stones began.
---
And Long Tian entered seclusion.
Deep within the crystalline cavern, beneath the Earth Dew Pond, surrounded by spirit herbs and array nodes, he began his most intense month of training.
He studied:
Array Techniques – Constructing layered defense circles and Spirit Qi amplifiers.
Body Arts – Strengthening his thunder-forged physique with new movements adapted from divine beasts.
Pill Alchemy – Using the herbs he'd enhanced with his Growth trait to create supportive pills.
Weapon Crafting – Forging sharp fang-like daggers and thunder-channeling spears for his elite followers.
Talisman Making – Inscribing protective runes for his territory and companions.
Each day, Qi howled through the air. Thunder rumbled underground.
By the end of the month—
The territory had changed.
So had he.
