Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

Most demon beasts have demon qi that appears gray-black, like dense smoke emitted by burning wet wood, which indicates the chaotic nature of their bloodlines.

In contrast, demon beasts with pure bloodlines will have clearer demon qi. The Cyan Deer’s demon qi is a hue of cyan, with only slight gray mixed in, almost unnoticeable if not looked at carefully.

Demon beasts instinctively purify their bloodlines, as a purer bloodline poses fewer obstacles to improvement. Once the impurities are entirely dissolved, the beast transforms into a spirit beast.

Fundamentally, all Golden Core Stage demon beasts fall under the category of spirit beasts, having refined their throat bone to speak human language.

The demon kings have demon qi as black as ink, representing the inheritance of the demon beast system, containing primitive beast nature.

Human Race cultivators domesticate beasts with the aim of weakening their beast nature as much as possible and enhancing their spirituality.

If a tamed beast cannot work in harmony with its master in battle, its utility is limited.

The Cyan Deer’s body visibly expanded, its antlers growing rapidly like burgeoning tree branches, becoming more robust.

It let out a howl filled with repressed agony.

For any creature, an advancement in the Great Realm is akin to being reborn, a process of reformation where the essence of life subtly changes.

Breaking barriers is impossible without experiencing pain; if iron doesn’t undergo numerous quenchings and forgings, how can it become a revered steel?

Regarding Human Race cultivators, High-Tier Cultivators appear human but have essentially become another species.

From Ji An’s understanding, the process of continuous cultivation growth is a process where genes undergo constant mutation.

The rising demon qi was beyond the Cyan Deer’s full control, with much of it dispersing from its body, unable to participate in transforming its demon body.

The demon qi, like a rampant gale, spread in all directions, as if a bomb had been dropped, causing shockwaves that broke many of the nearby Clear Spirit Bamboo, while distant Spiritual Bamboo leaned outward.

Ji An was unmoved, having chosen this location for the beast’s breakthrough due to the wood element’s beneficial environment for spiritual beasts.

To him, the destruction of spiritual bamboo was replaceable, but the value of a Chao Origin Stage tamed beast far exceeded that of these spiritual bamboos.

The Cyan Deer’s demon qi continued to surge but was constrained by an invisible barrier, unable to break through to the Chao Origin Stage level.

Gradually, its demon qi showed signs of faintly receding, its strength waning.

If it were a wild demon beast, there would only be two choices: the first, to burn life force with fervor, placing all its bets; the second, to abandon the breakthrough and wait for the next opportune time.

Opting for the first method, even if unsuccessful, the outcome could be losing half its life; the second method is less damaging but requires decades of recuperation before another opportunity arises.

However, demon beasts have long lifespans, so most would choose the second method.

Ji An had anticipated this, immediately tossing two Tier Two Upper Grade Biluo Fruits.

He had heard from Senior Sister He Yuhuan that the effects of the Jade Wood Spirit Rhinoceros Pill last for twelve double hours.

If the tamed beast has sufficient aptitude, this duration should fully support its breakthrough. The only hurdle is the excessive waste of demonic power, hindering the evolution of its demon body.

Unlike the Five-Colored Deer, a Heaven and Earth Exotic Beast, the Cyan Deer does not need to balance the five elements within, making the breakthrough much less difficult.

The Cyan Deer opened its mouth to bite the spirit fruit, chewing it carelessly a couple of times before swallowing it whole, pit and all.

With the supplement from the spirit fruit, its demonic power maintained its vigorous state.

After about another half an hour, as if a riverbank had burst, the Cyan Deer’s demonic power surged dramatically once again.

Simultaneously, its body abruptly swelled, reaching twice its pre-breakthrough size, with vine-patterned markings in shades of verdant green and withered yellow emerging on its back.

The brown antlers, appearing as dried branches battered by a storm, broke off piece by piece, quickly replaced by two light cyan short horns about an inch long and thumb-thick.

With its movements, spirit light flickered on the horns.

The Cyan Deer opened its big mouth to breathe, ingesting the spirit-laden air filled with clear spiritual essence from the bamboo grove, further reducing the gray impurities in its demonic power.

At the spot where it stood, green tender grass began to sprout.

”Yoo yoo!”

The high-pitched sound shot up to the sky, carrying an unmistakable sense of endless joy.

The Cyan Deer’s pupils were emerald, like a pool of secluded water in a green mountain.

It looked at its master gratefully, then knelt down, closing its eyes to digest the inherited bloodline memory.

As a direct descendant of the Five-Colored Deer, as it continues to improve, more bloodline memories will be unlocked.

This is the racial advantage—some demon beasts have shallow origins, even when advanced to a high tier, they have no more talent techniques to learn, relying solely on brute strength and a more robust physique.

With the Cyan Deer successfully breaking through, Ji An had no reason to remain. He ascended on a green Auspicious Cloud.

At that moment, the Rock Armor Bear crouched outside the bamboo grove, with Wei Songtao and others gathered at a distance, watching from afar, while the Golden Feathered Eagle circled silently above the bamboo grove before soaring higher toward the mountain top.

Dahuang, startled by the rampant demonic power that had just erupted, felt a tremor of fear.

It had often bullied the Cyan Deer before, but now that the power dynamics had shifted, who knows how the deer might repay it in the future.

With this thought, it slowly got up and quietly left, determining to avoid encounters with the Cyan Deer as much as possible, only moving in the southern and northern parts of the mountain.

The Cyan Deer’s territory was in the Jade Leaf Mulberry Forest, never having set foot in the fire element spirit plant garden.

Ji An landed beside the disciples observing the situation and instructed:

”Today, the Cyan Deer has successfully broken through to become a Chao Origin Stage tamed beast. Once it leaves the bamboo grove, you are to tidy up the bamboo grove, cutting down all damaged spiritual bamboo and transplanting bamboo shoots.
