--- Chapter 460 ---

In the semi-virtual realm, Sakumo and Airi woke up with an unpleasant hangover. They felt like somebody just zapped them with a mild lightning-type ninjutsu. 

Sakumo shook his head and looked around, finding himself in a white box room with his wife. They also wore white hospital gowns for some reason.

"Dear, where are we?" Airi asked while rubbing her forehead. 

"My realm. My semi-virtual realm." Yunlong suddenly appeared out of thin air. "Like you two, the rest of the people reincarnated also experienced the same thing." 

"What we are going to do next is an adaptive test." 

He smiled and asked, "How is your new body?" 

"Yeah, I feel weak," Airi added shortly after. 

Yunlong nodded, "That's understandable. I reincarnated you into a body of homunculus. It has a very adaptable genetic trait and will evolve based on your soul's characteristics." 

"Just look at each other, and you will understand." 

Sakumo and Airi glanced at each other and gasped. They looked nothing like themselves. 

They look basic with no familiar features. 

"This..." 

Yunlong chuckled and waved his hand, "Calm down." 

"I will help you adapt to your current body. Since it was currently a blank slate, anything you did with your soul would change it." 

"That includes your bloodline." 

"Sakumo-san, Airi-san, I will give you a cultivation technique. And I want you to meditate while reciting it." 

"Understand?" 

"Yes." Sakumo sighed solemnly. 

"Good." Yunlong transferred a Soul Cultivation Technique to Sakumo and Airi, letting them digest the content for a while.

After that, they meditated and slowly familiarized themselves with their new bodies. Sakumo's hair started becoming longer, whiter, and spiky, and a sharp blade-like aura came from his body.

Meanwhile, Airi's features become like herself in the Pure Land. She also gained this ethereal aura around her. 

An unknown time later, Sakumo and Airi opened their eyes.

They blinked and glanced at each other.

"Airi." 

"Dear." 

Tenderness filled their eyes. 

Cough!

Yunlong cleared his throat and commented, "This is not the time to kiss each other. I know you're emotional and loved each other so much, but come on. Aih, this is why I didn't do this procedure with couples." 

Sakumo and Airi were embarrassed. 

Airi lightly tapped her husband's arm.

Sakumo awkwardly looked away. 

Yunlong sighed, "Whatever. You two get special treatments." 

"The others weren't this fast to adapt to their new bodies." 

"How long did we take to adapt?" Sakumo frowned slightly.

"Not that long, just a month," Yunlong answered casually.

"A MONTH??" Sakumo and Airi were shocked. 

Yunlong shrugged, "Space and time work differently in the semi-virtual realm. You don't have to worry about getting late to meet Kakashi. One year here is only one second in the real world." 

"One year is only one second... How is that even possible?" Airi covered her mouth in disbelief.

"Duh, I'm a God. How many times do I have to explain this?" Yunlong rolled his eyes at her. 

"Oh, right!" Airi giggled to cover her shame. 

Sakumo eyed Yunlong with all seriousness. Since Yunlong said the others experienced the same thing, he must have managed many dimensional areas in the semi-virtual realms. 

Sakumo calculated there are over 10,000 people Yunlong reincarnated at once. Even then, to manage that many areas simultaneously. Just how strong is his mental fortitude?

The level of multitasking is beyond that of shadow clones.

Yunlong observed Sakumo and Airi silently before saying, "Sakumo-san, you awakened Blade Saint's bloodline." 

"As for Airi-san, you awakened Spiritual Weather's bloodline." 

"Blade Saint's bloodline?" 

"Spiritual Weather's bloodline?" 

Sakumo and Airi were confused. 

Yunlong smiled and explained, "This is for your integration into the Bright Spirit Empire. The other clans also got their bloodline limit altered, or should I say, metamorphosed." 

"It took the best quality of your soul and applied it to your body, making it stronger." 

"Of course, the name was decided by me." 

"For example, the Uzumaki Clan awakened a bloodline, which combined the trait of their adamantine chains, sealing technique's affinity, and great chakra reserve. I called it the Heavenly Seal's bloodline." 

"Uchiha Clan awakened Yin-Nature, Mystic Eyes's bloodline." 

"Senju Clan awakened Yang-Nature, Verdant Body's bloodline." 

Yunlong winked, "Of course, there are some exceptions, but they are easy to deal with." 

"..." Sakumo.

"..." Airi.

Why did they feel like Yunlong was playing around with Bloodline Limit? 

Yunlong noticed their blank expression and continued, "Well, keeping the clan uniform is hard, so there would be a gap in quality between generations." 

"However, I can't possibly blame this on the fact that the living got left behind in the ditch. You guys are lucky I wanted strong subordinates and not a bunch of pushovers." 

"Anyway, that matters aside." 

"It's time to awaken your Martial Soul." 

Sakumo's eyes lit up. Yunlong had briefly described the Spirit Master's power system to him and others in the Pure Land, and he couldn't wait to awaken his Martial Soul.

Even a bad one would be fine for Sakumo because he wanted to develop the Martial Soul from scratch and sharpen it with his Sword Intent. 

Airi was also excited. However, unlike her husband, she preferred a strong Martial Soul. Something she could develop with her pitiful skills.

Yunlong snapped his fingers, and Sakumo and Airi's bodies glowed with a dim platinum light. They felt a new energy different from Chakra flowing inside their veins, warming their bodies. 

Five seconds later, the platinum light disappeared. 

Airi opened her eyes and stared at the small white crane with cloud-like feathers. She knew the name of her Martial Soul and mumbled, "White Perching Crane." 

Caw~!

The small crane cawed at Airi, rubbing its head on her chest. 

Yunlong was amazed that Airi could awaken this rare variant of Beast-type Martial Soul, which was basically a summoned monster. From the scanning, he also discovered that Airi could fuse with it. 

On the other hand, Sakumo opened his eyes and stared blankly at the Martial Soul he awakened. 

"Uh... Black Iron Block" Yunlong was speechless. 

Did the wish just come true?

Sakumo actually awakened a block of iron as Martial Soul. It's over two meters tall and 1,2 meters wide. 

"Hehe, this will do." Sakumo grinned widely. 

Yunlong narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure? Although I say there was no trash Martial Soul, your starting point will be lower than others. Not to mention, the future advancement is unknown." 

Sakumo nodded with determination, "Yes, this will do. I can feel my sword inside this block of iron." 

"All I need to do is get rid of the impurity." 

'It seems I made another maniac.' Yunlong sighed inside because he was about to offer a transplanted Martial Soul for Sakumo. 

However, that method was also not feasible because Sakumo's weak soul couldn't handle another martial soul.

Not until Sakumo reached Spirit Sage Realm or Level 71, that is.

Yunlong shook his head wryly and said, "Well, it's time to give you two Artificial Souls." 

"Sakumo-san, stand before me." 

Sakumo unhurriedly stood before Yunlong, and the latter tapped his head gently. Soon, a white lightning beast appeared and landed near Sakumo's feet. 

The white lightning beast looks like a husky with lightning armor around it.

"Hello, buddy." Sakumo stretched his hand and scratched the beast's chin, though get zapped a few times. 

"Well, well, well..." Sakumo laughed it off, though.

Then, Yunlong performed a contract ritual between Sakumo and the white lightning beast. Next is Airi. 

Airi was nervous, thinking she would get a weak Artificial Soul.

Surprisingly, she got a living cloud as her Artificial Soul.

Yunlong couldn't determine the rank or origin. Still, it was suitable for her White Perching Crane. 

"Okay, I will leave you guys for half an hour. Familiarize yourself with your new bloodline, Martial Soul, and Artificial Souls." Yunlong said, clapping his hands.

"Thanks, Yunlong-sama." Sakumo and Airi bowed to Yunlong.

Yunlong waved his hand and said, "This much is nothing." 

After that, Yunlong vanished from the room. 

...

... 

In reality, Yunlong opened his eyes filled with exhaustion. 

His complexion also doesn't look good at all. 

"Yunlong, you overtaxed yourself!" Kaguya hurriedly supported Yunlong with her body. "Using Heavenly Ruler's Authority at such numbers is too much for you." 

"She's right, Yunlong. You should reincarnate them slowly." Gu Yuena frowned at him. 

Yunlong adjusted his breathing and laughed, "Hahaha, this is fine." 

"Do you know why?" 

"Because I just got a bunch of monsters under my control..." 

"Reincarnating them is fucking worth it!"
