Chapters 37 to 38: The Human Bloodline
back.He desperately wanted to kill To Yue Shen Wang and avenge the Dan clan.>It's a pity.Right now, I'm only the Sun and Moon God King. Compared to these powerful beings, I'm far inferior. Even if I...After leaving Zhōng Shān Xià, Shen Chángqīng finally understood who the goal of Zhúzhōng's upcoming war was.
Block the Shan clan!
... a powerful force whose strength is no less than that of the Zhongshan clan.
At least.
On the surface, it is so.
This also explains from the side, why Zhúzōng would force all direct disciples to participate in the war.
At the same level of racial warfare, every additional unit of strength represents one more point of victory.
Please provide me with the text you want me to translate. I will happily translate it into English while preserving any HTML tags.
Either side will be defeated.
The consequences are very likely to result in the extermination of the race.
This way.
The Zhuzong and the Zhongshan clan behind it, naturally, would have no reservations whatsoever.
This is a test.
It's just—
What really baffled Shen Changqing was why Zhúzong suddenly went to war with the Dǔshān clan. After all, the two clans had a long-standing feud, but there had never been an all-out war between them.
Now that a war has suddenly begun, there must be some reason for it.
>
Otherwise.
It's impossible for Zhúzōng to do this.
But the specific reason, he now does not know.
However.
Shen Changqing didn't have much interest in knowing either.
How well Zhu Zong is doing doesn't really concern me. As long as I can benefit from it, that's all that matters.
The rest.
None of it really matters.
First, he went to the Internal Affairs Hall to collect his resources. Then, he went into the Enemy Peak.
Any direct disciple is entitled to receive corresponding resources once a year, with no conditions attached.
And what is meant by "resources".
In fact, the main focus is on enhancing divine fire crystals, complemented by some elixirs for tempering the physique and refining bloodlines.

Amongst all the myriad races across the heavens and earth.
Every race prides itself on the purity of its bloodline.
The so-called bloodline level refers to a situation where a powerful being once appeared in a certain clan. The descendants of that clan may then have the possibility of obtaining a portion of that being's power.
And this part of the power is manifested in the bloodline.
The purer the bloodline.
The more gifts you can receive, the better.
That kind of gift is not only able to strengthen the body, but it may even directly elevate the soul, thus breaking through to a higher realm.
Divine fire!
Strictly speaking, it is another name for the soul.
After the soul ascended to the peak of the saint realm, it fell into a bottleneck. The power of faith ignited the soul, and it could burn out divine fire. Divine fire was the manifestation of the soul's further transformation.
Currently, the only known ways to enhance one's soul are two: harnessing the power of bloodlines or leveraging the power of faith.
But generally speaking, the power of bloodlines rarely comes into play, unless the creature possesses a powerful bloodline, then it's different.
"It is rumored that the Zhongshan clan once had terrible powerhouses. Zhong Shan's ability to become a genius of the Zhongshan clan is due to his deep soul foundation and extraordinary talent, as well as his high purity bloodline."
But now all I have is Zhōng Shān Chóu's divine soul essence, not his physical body. So, the bloodline theory is useless to me.
Inside the main hall, Shen Changqing looked at the resources in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Simply put.
He remained undetected, his true nature masked by a divine soul essence, simulating everything about Zhong Shanchou.
But if we were to truly distinguish people based on bloodlines, then the problem would become apparent.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This loophole.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Shén Chángqīng had never paid attention to it before.
But this time when I received the resources, that's when I realized the loophole in the bloodline.
“I can simulate Zhōngshān Chú’s aura and soul, but I cannot simulate the bloodline of the Zhōngshān clan itself. Therefore, using the source is not truly perfect. If I were to prove the bloodline, I would definitely be exposed.”
Of course.
Normally, one wouldn't go through the process of verifying bloodlines.
If there's any possibility of a being being replaced, the only one would be by possession.
If it isn't a soul possession.
Then, it can only be achieved by using divine power to conjure an illusion.
But such means, for the top-tier powerhouses, are tantamount to futility.
This is also why.
When Zhōng Shān Dōng Xuán was probing himself, he found nothing wrong after the examination, so he simply brushed it aside.
The reason is that the other party never thought that someone could directly apply Zhongshan Chou's essence without using divine power to transform or seizing a physical body.
After realizing his own flaws, Shen Changqing kept this matter in mind.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand.
I'm afraid something might go wrong.
Now that you understand your own weaknesses, you must avoid them in the future and absolutely not let the strong members of the Zhongshan clan notice.
But—
"If I were to let my own blood be tainted with the scent of the Mountain Tribe for a few minutes, it should be fine, right"
Thinking of this, Shen Changqing directly separated a drop of blood from his physical body. The divine fire in his sea of consciousness vibrated, and a mysterious aura fell onto the blood.
Wow!!
Blood trembled faintly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Thereafter, under his close scrutiny, the scent of blood gradually shifted, becoming identical to that of Zhong Shanqiu.
For a moment.
Shen Changqing withdrew his blood, his face calm.
"One can simulate the aura of blood, but fundamentally it won't change. In other words, I could use Zhong Shan Chou's essence to simulate the aura of the Zhong Shan clan's bloodline, but it would only be a shell."
If there were any means of investigation, the truth would be revealed.
But regardless of what one might say, having a layer of aura to shield oneself is quite sufficient.
Then.
He focused his gaze on the resources in front of him.
Elixirs for tempering the physique, resources for purifying bloodlines, and ten divine crystals.
>
Ten divine crystals don't seem like much.
But it should be clear that ten divine crystals can buy a complete nine-rank divine ability, equivalent to the accumulation of a God Realm First Layer for a hundred years.
This is a translation request, but there's nothing to translate! The content " > " is just HTML tags. There's no text within the tags for me to translate. Let me know if you have some text you'd like me to translate.
But this.
It's just an amount of one year.
A hundred years is equal to a thousand divine crystals.
The Zhuzong has a large number of direct disciples, totaling over a thousand. Over a hundred years, the expenditure on spirit crystals alone would exceed tens of millions.
Moreover, other medicinal pills and resources may not be less valuable than ten divine crystals.
Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can help with that!
In this way.
Now you can understand how extravagant and wealthy Zhu Zong is.
"Speaking of which, the Qifeng clan is loyal to me. Every hundred years, they offer tribute and I get around half. In about ten years, it will be time for the Qifeng clan's next offering."
However, the Green Bee Clan is ultimately a small clan and without a deity to preside over them, the offerings they could provide are likely meager.
Though mosquito legs are small, they're still meat. If you can get them, it's a good thing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing could remember the offerings of the Qingfeng Clan, after all, he had contributed as well.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's all I have to say.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
He didn't place much importance on that offering.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After all, it's just a small tribe. Even if there are many resources, how much can they really have
Shaking head.
Shen Changqing's divine consciousness reached out and took in all the divine crystals into his sea of consciousness. Then, he used divine fire to refine them.
Ten divine crystals.
For him right now, it doesn't really make much of a difference.
The azure of the divine fire deepened slightly, then solidified.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Originally just at the middle stage of the fourth level of the divine realm, now it has made a slight advancement on its original foundation, but the progress is average. There is still some distance to the later stage of the fourth level of the divine soul.
Next.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He again swallowed the pill that tempered his physique.
The alchemy of the medicinal pill, with its surging power, caused Qi and Blood to boil violently.
>
Suddenly.
Shen Changqing sank his mind and began to control that power, opening a new secret vault.
Boom!
Qi and blood surged through the body like a raging torrent, clashing and colliding with the force of thunder echoing within the hall.
Very soon.
One secret is unlocked when qi and blood collide.
Next.
Just the second, third——
Long time after.
The power of the elixir had been completely consumed, and as a harvest, six more hidden chambers within his flesh were opened.
Thus far.
The number of hidden treasures has reached 34,417.
Feeling the changes within himself, Shen Changqing's eyes sparkled with a sharp glint.
The medicinal pills from the Candle Sect held immense power. A year's worth of resources allowed me to directly open six secret realms, while I had only managed to open ten with such vast spiritual energy even after a year of seclusion previously.
"In that case, with the resources to assist me, my progress in opening up the hidden vault would accelerate significantly."
In the short term, this progress may not be immediately noticeable.
If it were a matter of hundreds or thousands of years, that would be quite impressive.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's all.
To shear the wool of Zhúzōng for a hundred or thousand years is clearly unrealistic.
Subsequently.
Shen Changqing then cast his gaze upon the last item that enhanced bloodline.
That was a medicinal liquid concocted by Zhú Zōng, specializing in purifying bloodlines. Although each direct disciple's bloodline was already quite pure, it still needed to be refined.
On the other hand, those ordinary disciples, with their mixed bloodlines, had no need for any refining.
Logically speaking.
This kind of thing has no effect on him.
However.
I don't know why.
But Shen Changqing's mind was elsewhere.
The Zhōngshān clan once had top-tier powerhouses, so other descendants of the clan had the opportunity to receive the blessings of these powerful individuals, thus gaining their strength in their bloodline.
Then, what about us humans Looking at the situation with all the myriad races in the heavens and myriad realms, could our human race also refine its bloodline
This content is already in English. If you have other text that needs translation, please provide it and I'll be happy to help!
If possible, could we obtain the power levels of powerful individuals who once existed among humans
Have there ever been strong individuals among the human race
That's it.
He had no doubt at all.
If the human race has no strong ones, what qualifications does it have to be hated by all races in the heavens and myriad worlds.
So.
Chen Changqing could be sure that there had been powerful cultivators in the human race, and they were definitely not ordinary ones.
I just don't know how long ago the powerful human ancestors lived, and whether the power of their bloodline has been completely sealed away.
At least.
In the human race, there has never been anyone heard of who possesses a powerful bloodline.
On this point.
Shen Changqing couldn't help but wonder, had the human bloodline already lost its effect
“If the strong people of the human race in ancient times were too far away, then during the time of the human race's heaven and earth, the ancient times also had strong people in the realm of gods. If the bloodlines of those strong people could awaken later generations, they could also play a considerable role.”
But during my time at the Demon Suppression Division, I had never heard of such a thing.
Whether it is the awakened bloodline that is too weak, resulting in little change, or there are other reasons, this remains to be seen.
From Zhong Shanqiu's memory, he could understand.
The inheritance of bloodline is not something that only direct descendants can possess.
As long as they are of the same race, subsequent generations may inherit and awaken the power of bloodline.
When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. That's roughly what it means.
Any family.
Whenever a top-tier expert is born, it will benefit the entire race.
To his understanding, there seemed to be no such occurrences among the human race.
That's all.
Shén Chángqīng couldn't help but feel a twinge of doubt.
Such a situation.
The greatest possibility is that the power of human strongmen cannot be passed down through bloodlines.
If it cannot be inherited, then the refinement of bloodlines is truly pointless.
Just thought of this.
He picked up the jade bottle filled with medicine and unscrewed it directly.
A strange scent wafted out of the jade bottle, like fragrance but not quite.
Immediately.
Chen Changqing hesitated for only a moment before swallowing the liquid in the jade bottle.
The medication has entered the abdomen.
The physical blood and Qi seemed to be stimulated, starting to boil violently.
Suddenly.
A metallic clanking sound, like chains being dragged, echoed through the air. He felt a shift in his surroundings, as if he had been plunged into an endless void.
In the void.
Countless iron chains intertwined, as if a gentle breeze were stirring them, causing the chains to tremble lightly and produce a faint sound.
Before Shen Changqing could make out the scene before him, the image changed once more, returning to the main hall.
Thus far.
He was stunned, his face betraying a shock he couldn't hide.
"Could the chains just now be the seal within our bloodline—the human bloodline, perhaps like that of the Red Falcon clan, once sealed away by a powerful being"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That moment.
Shen Changqing wasn't seeing this for the first time.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The last time I helped Tian Kui break his bloodline seal, I saw a similar scene.
But it's different.
In the bloodline seal of the Red Falcon clan, there are not so many iron chains.
And the chains there, are easily broken.
However.
Recalling the iron chains he had seen in the void just now, each one radiating an aura that sent shivers down his spine.
It is obvious.
That level of existence is not something I can shake at my current stage.
Now.
Here is the translation of your text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing was basically certain that there was some kind of seal within the human bloodline, but he couldn't be sure how long it had existed or what level of expert had set it up.
>
"The human race cannot awaken their bloodline and receive gifts from former powerful beings. It is very possible that this has to do with the seal within their bloodline."
The question now is, who exactly are the powerful individuals who have laid down their bloodlines.
"If we, the human race, want to break the bloodline seal, what kind of power would be needed"
The bloodline is sealed, and descendants of the human race cannot receive gifts from their ancestors. Compared to other races in the myriad heavens, this represents a significant disadvantage.
This problem may not be apparent in the short term.
But as time went on, the strength of the human bloodline grew weaker and weaker, and the strong would become increasingly rare.
You know.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The difficulty of a common bloodline rising and growing to the level of a top expert is several times greater than that of having a bloodline enhancement and gradually growing to the top.
Perhaps, every once in a while, powerful individuals rise among humanity. However, their numbers are ultimately too few.
Compared to all the celestial races, the gap is widening every moment.
However.
Shen Changqing also understood that with his current abilities, he didn't have the qualifications to break the seal.
>
Then wait for the seal to be broken.
... is not something that can be broken by a Dongtian realm expert.
>
“If I were to grow my divine realm origin to the level of a God King, or enter the next realm of martial arts, would there be a possibility of breaking the seal on the human bloodline If so, then the disadvantage that the human race faces compared to the myriad races of the heavens would be lessened by one.”
Moreover, this also indicates that the powerful individual who set up the seal hasn't reached a level where they are completely invincible.
Shen Changqing pondered.
If the Divine King Realm can break the seal, then that would be the best possible outcome.
Although there is a big gap between me and the God King now, at least there is hope, it's just a matter of time.

After converting all resources into its own strength.
within a few days.
Shen Changqing remained within the Qiong Peak, almost without any pause, refining spiritual energy, hoping to be able to open up several more secret realms.
Cultivation itself is like honing a blade, it's about persistent effort and gradual refinement.
After one or two days of practice, I couldn't see any progress.
Even if it's just a hundred or a thousand words a day, accumulated over time, the results will be completely different.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
So.
He never misses an opportunity to improve his skills.
These days.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Candle Sect was also in turmoil.
>
The news that the Gē Dǔ Shān clan was going to war had spread throughout the sect. Nobody, from high to low, was unaware of this matter.
In preparation for the upcoming war, Zhu Zong even issued a summons to all powerful individuals who were out traveling.
Just a few days.
All the strong people outside are returning one after another.
For a moment.
The number of powerful individuals within the Candle Sect has greatly increased.
Although Shen Changqing remained within the Choufeng, he could still feel those powerful auras gradually increasing.
Only something as powerful as a god realm could make them all feel formidable.
If a single Candle Sect has so many Divine Realm cultivators, how many Divine Realm cultivators would the entire Zhongshen Clan have behind it!
Shen Changqing felt a sigh in his heart.
The Zhuzong doesn't represent the entire Zhongshan clan. Strictly speaking, it's just a part of the Zhongshan clan.
As for the Zhōng Shān clan right now, he didn't need to think to understand that they had definitely gathered even more powerful individuals.
“It is said that some powerful individuals who haven't appeared for hundreds of years outside are now being summoned back to the sect. It seems that the sect attaches great importance to the war against the Dushan clan.”
Meanwhile, Cui Fu beside him also felt those chilling auras and couldn't help but sigh.
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing said calmly, "The Shan clan is a powerful clan after all. On the surface, their strength isn't much different from our Zhongshan clan. It's normal for the sect to value them."
At this time, it's enough for me to show up.
As for you all, stay inside Mount Qiongfeng and cultivate your spirits in peace.
Although Zhúzōng ordered every peak to send a disciple, it was enough for the master himself to take action.
The remaining miscellaneous disciples, whether they appear or not, are all the same.
But in Shen Changqing's view.
Just like Cui Fu and the other disciples' strength, if they truly participated in battle, they would be no different from cannon fodder.
After all, that kind of war.
To be frank.
Below the realm of gods, they are no different from ants.
These people have been managing Qifeng for many years, and he doesn't want to replace them with a group of unfamiliar disciples, lest it cause some unnecessary trouble.
"Thank you, Master Xie, for your compassion!"
Cui Fu's face was full of gratitude.
He also knew his own capabilities. As a disciple of the Zhuzong, if the sect ordered him to participate in the war, he would definitely have no way to refuse.
But—
Just a mere Saint-rank, facing the war of a clan, one misstep would lead to death without a whole body.
Shen Changqing did not allow himself to participate in the battle, Cui Fu was naturally very grateful.
Nobody dislikes living a long life.
Join the Candle Sect.
His purpose was also to live, and to live for a long time.
"Cultivate diligently, the Zhu Chong cannot protect you for a lifetime. Countless clans have been wiped out over countless centuries. No race or force can claim invincibility."
If Zhu Chong should ever fall, the only ones you can rely on will be yourselves.
Only when one is truly strong can they find true security and stability. Everything else is an illusion.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said meaningfully.
That's all I have to say.
He was saying it to Cui Fu, but also saying it to himself.
Even the God-King can fall.
What's more, let alone others.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As for this battle, to be honest, Shen Changqing himself wasn't sure if he would make it back alive.
But.
He had no choice.
To grow stronger, one must pay the corresponding price. Even wearing Zhong Shan Chou's disguise, he has to join the fight.
If you refuse.
It's not just about losing an opportunity to gain resources and become stronger, it could also potentially lead to complete exposure.
Even if he could escape from the Candle Sect, it's highly likely that he wouldn't be able to escape the calculations of that mysterious powerful being.
Thus.
That is to seek one's own death.
In front of me.
After hearing the other person's words, Cui Fu fell into deep thought. After a while, he slowly came back to his senses.
"The Sect Leader is right. As cultivators, we should prioritize improving ourselves."
"Well, your foundation is not bad. If you can reach the peak of the Sacred Realm one day, I will seek a belief for you, so that you have the opportunity to step into the God Realm."
Shen Changqing drew a big pie.
Staying within the Candle Sect for a long time to come, this person will still be of great use to me.
It's not a bad thing to use some words to win someone over.
Indeed.
After Shen Changqing spoke of his beliefs, Cui Fu's face became agitated.
"Greetings, Lord Xie!"
“Cultivate diligently. As I said before, there is a chance for you to enter the reincarnation pool, and I will not break my promise. As long as you focus wholeheartedly on following me, you will have everything that other disciples possess.”
Even if it's something the other disciples don't have, you will also have it.
Shen Changqing said faintly, then turned and looked at the distance with his hands behind his back.
There.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
A streak of light descended.
He reached out and caught the light, and in an instant it transformed into a jade communication stone.
Crushed with bare hands.
A faint message came from inside.
Received a message.
Shen Changqing's eyes became profound: "Finally, you're here!"
Sect Assemble!
All disciples immediately went to the main hall plaza.
As for the purpose of the set, it is self-evident.
"Stay here and take good care of everything at Qiongfeng."
Shen Changqing simply said a sentence, then took a step into the void and directly left Qiu Feng.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Looking at his departing back, Cui Fu deeply bowed in a gesture of respect.
"We, the disciples, await the return of the Peak Master!"
As an ordinary disciple, he had almost reached his limit. If he wanted to take it further, Shen Changqing was his only hope.
So.
Cui Fu wished deep in his heart that the other party would not perish outside.
Otherwise, whether he could have another chance to enter the Divine Realm, or even be reborn into the reincarnation pool and become a member of the Zhongshan clan, remains unknown.e Qinglian Emperor hadn't been able to comprehend it. After all, this principle is incredibly profound; it's not something that can be understood simply by talent alone, but also requires a matter of...
