“Senior, how long will this process take?” Billy asked thoughtfully after nodding.
“Uncertain!” Kymani Vasquez shook his head. “It might take three days, but it could also take a month.”
“Is there anything I need to do?” Billy inquired.
“No need!” Kymani Vasquez shook his head again and added, “The only thing you need to do is grit your teeth and get through the first few hours; it gets easier after that!”
“Understood!” Billy nodded again. “Senior, may I ask how you came to know my Ancestor?”
“My life was saved by Mr. Ravenwood!” Kymani Vasquez replied. “That time, he not only saved me but also many others!”
“And the reason I can help you with your third bloodline awakening is also because of what he taught me.”
“Of course, at that time, he couldn’t be sure that a descendant of the Ravenwood clan would possess the Golden Bloodline. He taught me the method just in case.”
After saying this, without waiting for Billy to respond, he continued.
“Moreover, from a certain perspective, Mr. Ravenwood sent you to find me not just to help you complete the fusion of your bloodline and physique.”
“In fact, I know his true intention was for his descendants to help us protect the Akabuchi star domain.”
“In that case, I will rely on you, Senior!” Billy paused and then bowed to Kymani Vasquez. “If that day ever comes when I can help the Akabuchi Star Palace, I will do so without hesitation!”
“Good!” Kymani Vasquez’s eyes brightened. “Then let’s not waste any time!”
He had been waiting for Billy to say those words!
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and a barrier enveloped an area of several kilometers.
Then he looked at Billy and said, “The first few hours will be a bit uncomfortable; just hang in there!”
“Alright!” Billy nodded.
When he first practiced the Strengthening Bloodline Method, he had already tasted inhuman torment.
So, he was mentally prepared.
As soon as Billy finished speaking, he felt his body being controlled by a spiritual power, rendering him immobile.
Immediately after, under that force, Billy’s body slowly rose to a height of twenty or thirty meters and then turned upside down.
“Remember, don’t let the Spiritual Line Origin in your body resist; otherwise, it will backfire.” Kymani Vasquez reminded him.
“Understood!” Billy nodded in response.
Before long, Billy felt a wave of discomfort spreading throughout his body, his brows furrowing slightly.
As time passed, Billy’s frown deepened, and an uncontrollable look of pain appeared between his brows.
It was no surprise; the pain from the first time he practiced the Meridian Building Technique began to spread throughout his body.
Blood flowed backward, feeling like thousands of ants gnawing at his bones; it was as if his entire body was being torn apart.
At the same time, powerful energy waves swept from Kymani Vasquez’s palm into his body.
After about an hour, the pain intensified. The blood vessels on his body swelled more than twice their size, veins bulging on his forehead, and his aura became extremely chaotic, fluctuating wildly.
Originally, Billy thought that with his previous experience, he would be somewhat mentally prepared for this time.
But as time went on, he realized he had underestimated it.
Compared to the current pain, the previous one was insignificant; there was no comparison at all.
Last time’s pain was something he thought he could endure by gritting his teeth.
But this time, he felt it had surpassed his limits; his entire bloodstream seemed to be boiling as if it could burst out of his body at any moment.
Moreover, he couldn’t muster any strength to resist; he could only endure it.
Several times he almost fainted directly.
This kind of pain was unbearable for ordinary people; he even had thoughts of giving up.
Of course, at this point, even if he wanted to give up, he couldn’t; it wasn’t up to him!
“Billy, do you want me to intervene?” Purple Spirit’s voice echoed in Billy’s mind.
“No need!” Billy responded.
He knew very well that letting Purple Spirit intervene to resist this pain might ruin everything.
“Just endure a little longer!” After a while, Kymani Vasquez’s words reached Billy’s ears.
Billy thought to himself, ‘Is this really just a little longer?’
It was more painful than being killed directly; his face had become extremely distorted.
Then Billy’s body began to spin in place, and the speed increased rapidly.
Already in excruciating pain, coupled with intense dizziness, Billy couldn’t hold on any longer and fainted directly.
However, within minutes, Kymani Vasquez flicked a wisp of wind at him, waking him up again.
“The most uncomfortable part is almost over. Stay awake; you’ll need to cooperate with me shortly.” Kymani Vasquez said.
“Okay!” Billy gritted his teeth and nodded. He really didn’t know if he could hold on until the end.
Fortunately, after another ten minutes or so, the pain significantly lessened.
Then Billy’s body stopped spinning and stood suspended in mid-air.
His clothes were completely soaked through; dark sweat oozed from every pore on his body, emitting a foul odor.
Billy exhaled heavily, his face relaxing slightly.
After a while longer, Billy descended to the ground.
“Senior, is it done?” Billy asked Kymani Vasquez.
“It’s not that quick!” Kymani Vasquez replied. “What we just did was clear all your meridians and remove some impurities from your body.”
After saying this, he turned and walked away while speaking. “Follow me; I’ll take you to clean up first.”
“Alright!” Billy followed him.
Before long, they arrived at a small pool of water with a layer of cold mist over its surface.
“Get in and wash up well. We’ll continue afterward.” Kymani Vasquez pointed to the pool.
“Okay!” Billy nodded and walked into the pool.
As soon as he stepped in, Billy couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
The water in this pool wasn’t just cold; it was bone-chillingly cold. Fortunately, Billy could now channel energy to resist it.
At the same time, Billy could clearly sense that the water in this pool was different from ordinary water.
It was somewhat similar to the spiritual pool in the Polar Domain but with an even higher concentration of heavenly essence.
Perhaps because of the previous cleansing of his meridians and marrow washing, as soon as Billy soaked for a while, he felt like he was being reborn.
Streams of refreshing energy flowed through his body, making him feel extremely comfortable compared to the earlier life-and-death struggle; it was like night and day.
About an hour later, Billy emerged from the pool.
Although he couldn’t pinpoint any specific changes in himself, he had a distinct feeling that his body was definitely different from before.
Soon after, they returned to the clearing where they had been before and sat down cross-legged.
