Chapter 443: Gains From The Bloodline
While Lin Wu was traveling on the platform, he decided to take a detailed look at the two new innate skills he had obtained from the Vermillion birds bloodline fragment.
“System, show me the details about the two new skills.” Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~
——
INNATE SKILL: Flame Manipulation
GRADE: Great
PROFICIENCY: Novice
INFO: Fire manipulation allows the host to create and control fire. The strength and temperature of the fire will increase according to the proficient of the skill. The host can also unlock the special ‘Vermillion flames’ once the grade of the skill reaches Greater.
INNATE SKILL: Fire Resistance
GRADE: Great
PROFICIENCY: Novice
INFO: Fire Resistance is a passive skill that increases the host’s hesitance to fire and heat in general. This combined with the host’s crystalline form makes the host resistant to most fires below eight hundred degrees Celsius.
Temperature above that will still cause the host harm and resistance will increase with the increase in proficiency.
An increase in grade will bring qualitative change and will make the host immune from all mortal fires.
Note: Special fires that contain the Dao traces and such as those from Dao embryos are exempt from this skill.

Seeing the detailed informatory about the two skills, Lin Wu was content. Both of them were very versatile and Fire resistance was even a passive skill that didn’t really need that much spirit Qi.
“These are great! Flame manipulation increases the number of elements I can control to a total of three, while fire resistance increases my defense overall against heat. This is even better for me since I need to be careful while using radiation because of this very reason…” Lin Wu said to himself.
Feeling content about the new skills, Lin Wu decided to check up on the new bloodline.
“System, show me the info about the bloodline. The analysis should be over by now, right?” Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~

AVATAR BLOODLINE: 1. Crimson Eyed Emerald Worm (System Manufactured)
2. Vermillion bird (Fragmented)
Vermillion bird Bloodline: Current status- Fragmented
Info: The Vermillion bird bloodline is the bloodline that belongs to one of the four guardian beasts and is one of the top bloodlines of the universe. The bloodline comes with several innate skills and techniques as well. There are bloodline memories sealed within the bloodline that can be accessed by increasing its concentration.
Upgrade requirements: More of the techniques and skills can be unlocked with the progress of the bloodline. In order to increase the bloodline, the host needs to nurture it slowly or obtain other sources of it such as bloodline crystals or essence blood.
Over time the bloodline will naturally increase in its concentration as well and the host’s cultivation will also help in that.
Bloodline potential: Dao Treading realm
Info: At the current concentration of the bloodline, a bearer of the bloodline can reach the Dao treading realm at most.
Notes: This does not apply to the host due to him having another bloodline. Whenever there are multiple bloodlines in a beast, the one with the superior potential will determine the cultivation base limit.

Having read it all, Lin Wu realized that he may have to wait a long time for the bloodline to increase on its own.
“System, what’s the estimated time for it to grow on its own?” Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: at the current rate, the Vermilion bird bloodline will reach the next stage in 112 years, 4 months and 21 days.
——
Reading this, Lin Wu couldn’t help but sigh to himself.
~Sigh~
“I don’t think I can find any bloodline crystals or this either. Whatever there were in this world are now part of Zhu Tianying.” Lin Wu shook his head.
After thinking for a bit, Lin Wu wondered if there could be some other way.
“System, is there a way you can accelerate this process?” Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The system can further analyze methods for the bloodline improvement, but this is impossible at the system’s current level. The system will need more Computational A.I.’s to be able to do this.
——
“Hmm, I guess the only path to do this is to increase my own cultivation and let the system unlock more computational AI.’s.” Lin Wu muttered to himself.
With all that done, Lin Wu focused on the information that he had obtained till now and read through it while assimilating the knowledge about the various principles and concepts of cultivation.
Lin Wu had to admit, even if the Skull god was a troublesome being, he was a good student back then. Lin Wu had seen in the memories that the Skull god was actually a cultivator that was born in a higher world.
He reached the Nascent soul realm when he was barely nine years old as well. While he was unable to succeed later on in life, he got another opportunity and gave up his humanity to become the skull god.
The Skull god apparently managed to find an inheritance of the ‘Hei’ part of the one of the Seeds of the shadow calamity that were spread around the world. Usually, this should have ended up killing him like it did with the others, but with the skull god’s innate talent he managed to not only survivor, but assimilated it completely into him.
If Lin Wu were to compare himself with him, right now, he would realize that the two of them were on completely different levels as of now. Even with the system’s help, Lin Wu understood that he would be unable to fight against the real Skull god.
“Just as I thought… this avatar was barely anything to him and he had actually given up on it already. Luckily, this is also good for me… at least he doesn’t know that I killed this avatar.” Lin Wu said to himself.
But the one thing that worried him was the fact that he was unable to figure out the cultivation base of the Skull god even after all this time. He knew that the lifespan of the avatar was liked with the soul and would thus match that of the main soul.
