Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2294 Unworthy Descendants
It turned out to be the case.

According to Lady Neferi, Senior Ariel seems to have overcome all tribulations and attained enlightenment on the spot.

The process was similar to what I had imagined, but in my opinion, there were many details that warranted further examination.

It seems that the will of the sanity has gone mad, and the supernatural form has also gone out of control... This is within a relatively reasonable range.

But it even possesses divine qualities? And after digesting it, it directly advances to the second tier?
It's no wonder Neferi had that guess; it really does resemble being disturbed at a crucial moment in her advancement and then "going mad" from her cultivation.

Another key point is that it even involves technical support from ROHM.

"Was Rom also involved in the later stages of the process?"

Before paying, confirm your payment.

"Well... He only gave me one response to my question, which was that I didn't need to do anything."

And as expected, there were many more small details that did not disappoint.

Furthermore, it's clear that while she still doesn't want to address that big shot by his name directly, Neferi isn't as reserved when talking about him.

“But in theory He was indeed involved, because it was He who guided me to find the ‘gift of the tyrant’.”

Oh? That's an interesting piece of information.

No wonder the original council has been so attentive to Lord Rom in so many operations; they must have been given a lot of knowledge.

The miracle of Tyrant's Grace can almost be definitively confirmed as originating from the King of the Abandoned Prison. With such extensive knowledge combined with his less-than-ideal condition, the probability that Rom is also an ancient being is extremely high.

"We've gotten a bit off-topic. I remember you wanted to know about the Chen family?"

While she was pondering this, Neferi suddenly stopped sharing, seemingly finally remembering that the topic was not intelligence exchange but technical exchange.

"I've gone off on a tangent, please continue."

Fu Qian nodded, admitting his mistake without hesitation.

……

"But you said I could actually not answer."

Neferi's tone just now actually had a somewhat meaningful undertone.

While offering this reminder, it also seems to subtly mock those who lack a firm resolve in their previous technical exchanges.

However, the shocking secret was right in front of her, but the person involved really had no intention of delving into it. They switched back to the topic in a second, and for a moment, she was the one who was a little uninvolved.

"You don't have to answer, so let's move on to the next question."

He remained easygoing and didn't insist on anything.

"The Chen family's problem is actually not that complicated... As for their so-called cultivation methods, there is nothing wrong with them in my opinion."

"The reason why they have made slow progress over the years, unable to touch divinity like one of their predecessors, and even seeming to be declining step by step, is simply because they are not very suitable for spiritual practice."

Although the questioner fully respected her personal wishes, Neferi hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not give up the opportunity to share her thoughts.

And those few words proved that the expectations before payment were not disappointed.

Lady Neferi did a lot of research on that not-so-illustrious family, and didn't just blindly copy a single operational plan.

"So the Chen family does indeed have a high-level, extraordinary ancestor?"

Satisfied, he quickly and cooperatively asked before paying.

"Demigods or higher, and they are indeed walking the same path."

Her answer was unwavering, and it was clear that Neferi was very confident in this matter.

So, is the path of spiritual cultivation truly a path where you can have whatever you want?

I've previously compared the advantages and disadvantages of several paths to godhood. While cultivation may seem somewhat ethereal, it also has tangible advantages. For example, it appears safer and saves on materials, without having to search for strange and unusual items.

Now, according to Neferi, not only those who have reached the pinnacle of comprehension, such as Li Weixuan from the Sword Academy, but even those like the Chen family who rely on a certain cultivation method, can clearly achieve a high level.

This lowers the barrier to entry considerably.

Theoretically speaking, such a family with a lineage should be more likely to prosper than the royal family of Laria, which relies purely on genetic lottery results—so why did it end up like this?

Neferi remained silent, seemingly giving Fu Qian time to ponder the question.

"But aren't the current Chen family descendants of that person?"

And almost without taking any time, Fu Qian blinked and asked.

……

Never develop the habit of complicating simple problems.

The idea that each generation of a family is less successful than the last is indeed a common trope.

There are even some classic explanations, such as the Dharma-ending Age and the collapse of the Heavenly Way.

However, for those who are willing to pay, attributing the cause to factors that are difficult to verify means giving up on thinking about the issue.

In contrast, before that he tended to favor some easily overlooked socio-ethical reasons.

For example, unfilial descendants.

"...I now believe that your contribution is part of the academy's recent achievements."

Neferi, who had initially seemed to be testing someone, let out a long sigh at that moment.

"That's right, it took me a long time to eliminate possibilities one by one before I finally leaned toward this as a possible explanation."

"Although his achievements were considerable, it seems that the bloodline of that Chen ancestor did not pass on successfully for more than a few generations, and soon he was raising someone else's offspring."

……

That's the power of the base-stealing tactic.

In addition, the mindset of scientific researchers has indeed not been abandoned.

According to Neferi's description, although the process of reaching the conclusion was a bit convoluted, she actually agreed to the explanation of "unfilial descendants" to some extent.

In other words, the old man Chen Xing, who was so eager to restore the glory of his ancestors, and even other members of the Chen family, may actually have had little to do with that ancestor.

This is why, despite the proven effectiveness of cultivation methods, no new demigods have emerged.

The vast estate of Houhai Manor has long been usurped.

The dark humor lies in the fact that the dove was unaware of this, and even went so far as to sacrifice his most prized successor in order to restore the glory of his ancestors.

"You flatter me. I was just offering some general guidance. Ultimately, it depends on the hard work of the young people."

"So in your opinion, there is a degree of compatibility between bloodline and cultivation techniques?"

As for the recognition from the former high-ranking officials of the academy, Fu Qian did not take credit for it and continued to focus on the discussion topic.

“It’s not just an opinion; I’ve seen more than one example. In spiritual practice, talent is also important.”

Neferi sighed again.

"So how did you ultimately overcome this congenital defect?"

Fu Qian greatly appreciated the idea of ​​letting the facts speak for themselves and immediately sought further advice.

"It's very simple... The thorn blood that seeps out from special corpses, although it is called unclean, can also be considered a higher form of life."

"With proper methods, it is possible to make up for the gap in talent to some extent, but the effect may be somewhat distorted."
