**Chapter 1575: Bloodline Awakening**

Time flew by, and unknowingly, three more days had passed.

During these three days, Ye Chen and his group continued to cultivate diligently. Apart from Ye Chen and Yang Xuanji, who would engage in sparring matches from time to time, the others barely made any moves. Despite this, everyone's strength improved significantly.

Ye Chen, in particular, made the fastest progress. In just three days, he had almost fully adapted to the Sacred Dao Body, completely integrating it as a part of his physical being.

Moreover, and most crucially, whenever he finished a battle with Yang Xuanji and felt utterly exhausted, he would distinctly sense a cool current of energy emerging from within his body. These cool currents, upon entering Ye Chen's body, would instantly transform into warm streams, rapidly circulating along his meridians and repairing all his injuries.

With the help of this miraculous power, Ye Chen had almost no need to worry about battles causing him excessive harm. In fact, under the tempering of this power, his body would grow even stronger.

"What exactly is this power? Could it be that my Undying Dharma Body has been further strengthened?" Ye Chen constantly wondered about the origin of this power. In his opinion, this power should have originated from the Undying Dharma Body. After all, the primary ability of the Undying Dharma Body was to repair the body and make it more robust.

However, each time this power appeared, Ye Chen could clearly feel that it carried a peculiar bloodline fluctuation. This bloodline fluctuation made Ye Chen feel as if he was coming into contact with some long-dormant power within his body.

"Bloodline awakening?" These four words suddenly popped into Ye Chen's mind.

He had heard that some martial artists were born with a special bloodline. This bloodline would normally remain hidden within their bodies, only to be activated when the martial artist encountered danger or was subjected to a certain stimulus. Once activated, this bloodline would grant the martial artist strength far exceeding that of ordinary people. And the power within Ye Chen at this moment was very similar to a bloodline awakening.

"If it really is a bloodline awakening, then what kind of bloodline do I possess?" Ye Chen's heart was filled with doubts. He possessed the Undying Dharma Body and was incredibly powerful. However, he had never awakened any bloodline power before. Could it be that this hidden power, which he had never discovered before, was indeed bloodline power?

Ye Chen couldn't figure it out, but he was certain that this power was absolutely harmless to him. On the contrary, this power was like an additional boost, enabling him to become even stronger.

Of course, this power also seemed not to be infinite. Each time this power appeared, Ye Chen would feel that a portion of his spiritual energy seemed to be consumed. However, this consumption was nothing to Ye Chen. After all, his spiritual energy was currently immense, and even if a portion was consumed, it would have no significant impact on him.

Thus, seven more days passed with Ye Chen cultivating and sparring with Yang Xuanji. During these seven days, Ye Chen's strength advanced by leaps and bounds. Not only had he fully adapted to the Sacred Dao Body, but he was also able to unleash even greater power from it. Even the cultivation of his Undying Dharma Body reached a new level.

The current Ye Chen was almost like a completely different person compared to ten days ago. Ten days ago, he still needed to go all out just to contend with Yang Xuanji. Now, he could even easily suppress Yang Xuanji and gain the upper hand. This speed of improvement astonished even Yang Xuanji.

"Ye Chen, what exactly is that power within you? Why do I feel that your bloodline also seems to be undergoing some kind of transformation?" Yang Xuanji finally couldn't hold back and asked Ye Chen. In the past few days, he had been observing Ye Chen's changes. He noticed that each time Ye Chen fought him, the aura within his body would become stronger. Moreover, that strength was not a mere increase in ordinary spiritual energy, but a transformation from within. It was as if Ye Chen's body was undergoing some kind of evolution.

"I don't know either." Ye Chen shook his head, forcing a wry smile. "Every time this power appears, I feel that a portion of my spiritual energy seems to be consumed. However, the consumed spiritual energy quickly recovers, and this power also makes my body much stronger."

Yang Xuanji fell into thought upon hearing this. He always felt that the power within Ye Chen was extraordinary. He even suspected that this power was somehow connected to Ye Chen's identity. After all, Ye Chen's origins had always been a mystery.

Initially, Ye Chen emerged from a small family, yet he possessed talent far surpassing ordinary people. Furthermore, the cultivation technique he practiced was also very unique, capable of absorbing various powers. All these factors led Yang Xuanji to question Ye Chen's identity.

"Could it be that you are not an ordinary person, but the successor of a great family?" Yang Xuanji suddenly spoke, a hint of shock in his tone.

Ye Chen was slightly stunned to hear this. He hadn't expected Yang Xuanji to suddenly ask such a question. "I don't know." Ye Chen shook his head. He had lived in the Ye family since he was young and knew nothing about his own origins. He only knew that he was a member of the Ye family and possessed the Ye family's bloodline.

Seeing Ye Chen's expression, Yang Xuanji knew he had guessed correctly. He looked at Ye Chen, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, that power within you should be a kind of bloodline power. This bloodline power remains dormant within a martial artist's body. Only when the martial artist is stimulated by external factors or encounters danger will it be activated. Once activated, this bloodline power will grant the martial artist strength far beyond that of ordinary people. Some powerful bloodline powers can even bestow special abilities upon the martial artist." Yang Xuanji told Ye Chen everything he knew about bloodline power.

Ye Chen was immensely shocked after listening. He hadn't expected such a powerful force to be hidden within his body. Moreover, this power was related to bloodlines. This made him even more curious about his own origins.

"Then what kind of bloodline do I have?" Ye Chen asked.

Yang Xuanji shook his head and said, "I don't know what kind of bloodline you possess. However, I can confirm that your bloodline is absolutely extraordinary. In fact, I suspect that your bloodline has some connection with the legendary Undying Bloodline."

"Undying Bloodline?" Ye Chen's pupils suddenly contracted upon hearing this. He certainly knew about the Undying Bloodline. It was one of the most powerful bloodlines in legends, possessing the power of immortality and indestructibility. If he truly possessed the Undying Bloodline, to what terrifying extent would his strength reach?

"Of course, this is just my speculation." Yang Xuanji saw Ye Chen's expression, knowing what he was thinking, and said. "After all, the Undying Bloodline has been lost for too long; no one has ever truly seen it. However, that power within you does bear some similarities to the Undying Bloodline. For instance, your body becomes stronger after each battle. And that cool aura within you also has a similar miraculous effect to the Undying Bloodline. That's why I suspect that your bloodline has some connection to the Undying Bloodline."

Ye Chen fell into deep thought upon hearing this. He was now increasingly certain that the power within him was bloodline power. Moreover, this bloodline power was somehow connected to the Undying Bloodline. If it really was the Undying Bloodline, then his future would become even more exciting.

"By the way, Senior Yang, have you ever heard of a cultivation technique called the 'Undying Dharma Body'?" Ye Chen suddenly remembered that the technique he cultivated was also called the Undying Dharma Body.

Yang Xuanji's body trembled violently upon hearing this. He suddenly looked up, staring intently at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with shock. "You... what did you say? Undying Dharma Body?" Yang Xuanji's voice even trembled slightly.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the cultivation technique I practice is called the Undying Dharma Body."

Yang Xuanji took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart. He looked at Ye Chen and said in a solemn tone, "The Undying Dharma Body is a legendary supreme cultivation technique. When this technique is cultivated to its peak, one can possess the power of immortality and indestructibility. However, the cultivation requirements for the Undying Dharma Body are extremely stringent; almost no one can successfully cultivate it. Moreover, the Undying Dharma Body has also been lost for far too long. The fact that you are cultivating the Undying Dharma Body is simply incredible!"

Yang Xuanji looked at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with astonishment. He hadn't expected Ye Chen to actually be cultivating the Undying Dharma Body. This was simply unheard of.

"Senior Yang, have you heard if there's any connection between the Undying Dharma Body and the Undying Bloodline?" Ye Chen asked. He always felt that there was some connection between the Undying Dharma Body and the Undying Bloodline.

Yang Xuanji frowned, deep in thought. After a long while, he slowly began to speak, "There are indeed some connections between the Undying Dharma Body and the Undying Bloodline. However, this connection is not direct. The Undying Dharma Body is a body-tempering cultivation technique, while the Undying Bloodline is an innate bloodline power. Although there's no direct relationship between the two, if one can cultivate the Undying Dharma Body to its extreme and also possess the Undying Bloodline, then they can achieve true immortality and indestructibility!"

Yang Xuanji's words stirred up huge waves in Ye Chen's heart. He hadn't expected the Undying Dharma Body and the Undying Bloodline to have such a connection. If he could truly cultivate the Undying Dharma Body to its peak and possess the Undying Bloodline, to what terrifying extent would his strength reach?

"Could it be that the bloodline power within me is truly the Undying Bloodline?" Ye Chen vaguely had a guess in his heart. He was now increasingly certain that the power within him was bloodline power. Moreover, this bloodline power was somehow connected to the Undying Bloodline. If it really was the Undying Bloodline, then his future would become even more exciting.

"Senior Yang, since the Undying Bloodline is so powerful, why did it disappear?" Ye Chen asked.

Yang Xuanji sighed and said, "Although the Undying Bloodline is powerful, it is not invincible. Back then, the possessor of the Undying Bloodline was besieged for some reason and ultimately fell. The Undying Bloodline disappeared as a result. However, while the Undying Bloodline vanished, it wasn't completely gone. Legend has it that the Undying Bloodline reappears with a new possessor every once in a while. And these possessors always have talent far beyond that of ordinary people. That's why I suspect that your bloodline has some connection to the Undying Bloodline."

Ye Chen was immensely shocked upon hearing this. He hadn't expected such a legend to exist about the Undying Bloodline. If he truly was the possessor of the Undying Bloodline, then his future would become even more exciting.
