Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 339 Bloodline Seed

After returning to Zijin Mountain, Yi Dong looked in the direction of Taichu Zixing.

"Could it be that the center of the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm is not the Eye of the Four Seas, but this Frozen Continent?"
Can this icy continent truly nurture the path to immortality?

The Great Dao of Longevity is the most core Great Dao of the Nascent Soul stage.

Without the Great Dao of Immortality, no matter how powerful your cultivation is, even a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot achieve immortality.

If there is truly hope of nurturing the path to immortality, then the Heavenly Ice is indeed nothing.

"Previously, the Dragon Spring Sword and the Primordial Purple Apricot fought over the earth veins, battling no less than a hundred times on the Frozen Continent."

Because my attention was focused on the Heaven and Earth Mystic Ice, I didn't pay much attention to what Taichu Zixing was doing on the Frozen Continent.

This Primordial Purple Apricot didn't seem to care much about the Heavenly Ice from the beginning; instead, it seemed to be searching for something on the Frozen Continent.

It only recently returned to Purple Mountain, which means that the other party has obviously found what it wanted in the Frozen Continent.

Before I made any move to forcibly seize the Nine Heavens Ice Peak formed from the Heavenly Ice, Tai Chu Zi Xing said nothing.

It wasn't until I was about to give up on the Frozen Continent that they told me that it not only had the potential to be transformed into the Immortal Kingdom of Qingzhou, but could also nurture the Great Dao of Immortality.

Clearly, the Primordial Purple Apricot had other plans from the beginning.

Perhaps it wants to transform the Frozen Continent into an environment suitable for its own growth, rather than transforming it into the environment of Qingzhou.

When did the Primordial Purple Apricot begin researching the Qingzhou Grand Formation? To what extent has the opponent researched the Qingzhou Grand Formation?
It didn't tell me any of these things.

It seems that this Primordial Purple Apricot, having obtained the Yanshan Blessed Land, has been secretly doing many things using the humans within. Moreover, its research on the Immortal Kingdom's bloodline and the Qingzhou Grand Array should surpass that of the Great Awakening Puppet.

When the Qingzhou Grand Formation was being rebuilt, Yi Dong naturally sent out the Great Awakening Puppet to study it nearby.

However, the Great Awakening Puppet has yet to fully understand the Qingzhou Grand Array, a formation closely related to the bloodline of the Immortal Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, the Primordial Purple Apricot accomplished what many of the Great Awakening Puppets could not.

Yi Dong did not believe that the Great Awakening Puppet was inferior to the Primordial Purple Apricot.

The main reason is that Yi Dong did not lose his humanity and did not allow the Great Awakening Puppet to consume humans in large quantities as research material.

Compared to the Great Awakening Puppet, the humans of the Primordial Purple Apricot Goose Mountain Blessed Land are all "unregistered" without any soul imprint left on the Qingzhou Great Array. No one knows how many human lives the other side has consumed in its research.

Without witnessing Tai Chu Zi Xing's atrocities firsthand, Yi Dong wouldn't say anything.

Moreover, in Yi Dong's view, Tai Chu Zi Xing was not even human, so it was inappropriate to apply human morality to her.

In its eyes, humans are perhaps just like the spiritual plants used by human cultivators to refine elixirs.

Despite their differing values, as long as Tai Chu Zi Xing doesn't kill a large number of people in front of Yi Dong, causing him to feel compassion for his kind, Yi Dong will pretend he doesn't see it.

Regardless of how Taichu Zixing manipulated the human race, the fact that the other party developed the Qingzhou Grand Array was indeed of great help to him.

"Yang Xiaoli, who possesses the Great Dao of Longevity, and the Frozen Continent, which nurtures the Great Dao of Longevity, are paving the way for me to achieve the Great Dao Nascent Soul stage."

I always said that even without a cheat code, a time traveler is bound to have great fortune.

If I were a courageous and diligent person, I would surely be blessed with numerous opportunities and surrounded by countless beautiful women.

The specific process is rather cliché: the tragic deaths of some relatives and friends trigger a sudden surge of rage, leading him on a path of annihilation, slaughtering countless geniuses to quickly become the strongest Immortal Emperor and establish his name throughout the Immortal Kingdom.

Yi Dong felt a little regretful that he had missed the opportunity to achieve great success.

With such great fortune, no matter how hard he cultivates, he will likely reach the peak in the end.

Of course, Yi Dong was just thinking about it; it was completely impossible for him to change his personality and take risks.

If you can safely reach the summit, why bother with the scenery along the way?

The concept of luck, though unreliable, probably exists, since, according to Yi Ling, one of her friends can see so-called "destiny."

Not only oneself, but one's children should also share in one's fortune.

Otherwise, they wouldn't all possess such extraordinary talent.

However, if luck truly exists...

Then you'll have to consider whether you should continue having children.

In his view, all energy in the world is conserved. Even those who claim to have supernatural powers to communicate with infinite energy only have a limited amount of energy that appears to be infinite.

Similarly, one's own luck is probably limited.

Perhaps with each child you have, a portion of your fortune will be permanently taken away.

Although he doesn't take risks and basically doesn't need luck to help him turn misfortune into good fortune.

However, having more good fortune is always better than having less.

Based on the same considerations, Yi Dong decisively severed ties with the cultivators of the Yi family in Qingzhou.

The cultivators from the Yi family are no longer of much use to me. Keeping them around would only dilute my luck, and they would be of little use otherwise.

Cultivating a family's bloodline requires not only the unification of cultivation techniques, but also subtle modifications to the spiritual veins, special cultivation methods, and other factors to work together to obtain the corresponding bloodline.

The greatest potential for growth lies in ordinary people.

Originally, Yi Dong had no intention of actually starting this project.

However, since Tai Chu Zi Xing claimed to have a way to recreate the Qingzhou Grand Array on the Frozen Continent and transform it into an environment suitable for a celestial kingdom, Yi Dong naturally changed his original plans.

Having a family cultivator is not only important to oneself, but also to Yi Dong's children's cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage. The earlier a family cultivator is cultivated, the better it will be for the future of the entire family.

Of course, the Yi family bloodline is absolutely unsuitable for Dongfang Hong and Mu Mu, unless the future members of the Yi family are descendants of Yi Dong and the two of them. Otherwise, the two of them will not be able to get the family's help in their cultivation of the Great Dao Nascent Soul stage.

These two seemed to have their own agendas, and they might not continue to be each other's Daoist partners once they became powerful. Therefore, Yi Dong simply removed their bloodlines from the Yi family.

Furthermore, both Yi Feng and Yi Jun have offspring, while neither Yi Yan nor Yi Ze have children.

If we really use Yi Feng and Yi Jun's offspring as the seeds for the family to continue its lineage, it will be unfair to Mu Mu.

It was for this reason that Yi Dong specifically asked Dongfang Hong to guide the mortals from Jinshan City over.

Even if the descendants of Yi Feng and Yi Jun are ordinary people, they have a very high status in the Yi family. They generally do not live in ordinary cities such as Jinshan City, but in various immortal cities with spiritual energy in Qingzhou.

However, Yi Dong's plan was quite reasonable, but unfortunately, Tai Chu Zi Xing couldn't keep a secret.

In less than three days, Dongfang Hong and Mu Mu learned from Tai Chu Zi Xing that Yi Dong planned to transform the Frozen Continent into Qingzhou.

They also understood what Yi Dong wanted to do by guiding the mortals of Jinshan City.

Knowing this, Dongfanghong felt quite relieved.

She had already asked Mu Mu to teleport the mortals among Yi Feng and Yi Jun's descendants over, while instructing her not to teleport any mortals in Jinshan City who had Yi family blood.

In short, it means replacing the ordinary people in Jinshan City with the bloodline of the Yi family with ordinary people carrying the bloodlines of the Yi brothers.

At this moment, Dongfang Hong, Mu Mu, and Yang Xiaoli were in a courtyard on a spiritual mountain peak not far from Zijin Mountain.

Yang Xiaoli noticed that her master, Mu Mu, seemed to be troubled by something.

He couldn't help but wonder:

"Master, wouldn't this problem be solved if you had a few more children?"

Mu Mu shook her head and said:
"Tai Chu Zi Xing said that even if Yi Dong's bloodline is special, it still requires the right time and place to give birth to children with extraordinary talents."

I don't want Ze'er and Yan'er to have younger siblings who aren't academically gifted.

Over the years, Mu Mu has witnessed many members of the Yi family harboring resentment due to differences in their aptitudes.

Many siblings become estranged or even enemies because of differences in their abilities and the unequal distribution of resources.

Now, within the Yi family, not only do Yi Ze and Yi Yan have a very good relationship with each other, but they also have a harmonious relationship with Yi Jun and the other three.

This is because their qualifications are similar, and each of them has strong confidence in their future.

If they had children of average talent, they would certainly not be able to integrate into the group of Yi Yan and her siblings.

There are ready-made examples of this.

So far, Yi Feng and Yi Jun's children have all been born with Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

However, even with the careful guidance of Yi Feng and Yi Jun, these people failed to stand out in the higher-level academies and naturally did not receive Yi Dong's attention.

Within the Immortal Kingdom, with abundant resources, every cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root is theoretically qualified to achieve the Great Dao Golden Core.

However, in reality, many cultivators find it difficult to even achieve the Foundation Establishment stage of Heaven, Earth, and Man in their entire lives, let alone the Qi Refining King stage or the Great Dao Foundation Establishment stage.

The knowledge that needs to be learned in this cultivation is vast and boundless, even at the Qi Refining stage.

Without a solid grasp of knowledge, not only will you fail to research spatial chakras, but you might not even be able to evolve your own cultivation techniques to a level that fully suits you.

In modern cultivation, a Heavenly Spiritual Root is the most basic requirement. If one hopes to achieve the Great Dao Golden Core or even the Great Dao Nascent Soul, one must have various heaven-defying opportunities. Otherwise, one can only have a chance if one's natural talent is far superior to that of an ordinary Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Yang Xiaoli, of course, was unaware of Mu Mu's thoughts. Seeing Mu Mu fall into deep thought after saying those words, she couldn't help but offer further suggestions.

"Master, you can just have your son and daughter find a Daoist partner and have a grandson."

Mu Mu shook her head. If it were that simple, she would have had Yi Ze and Yi Yan do it long ago.

Unfortunately, the two of them wouldn't listen to her at all.

Dongfang Hong looked at Mu Mu, then at Yang Xiaoli, and said nothing on the surface, but in reality she still hoped that Mu Mu's descendants would not be among the Yi family's descendants.

The cultivation of the Great Dao Nascent Soul is related to the cultivation techniques of the bloodline clan.

However, currently, Dongfanghong is associated with the elements of thunder and metal.

They can only cultivate by relying on members of their clan with these two attributes.

But Mu Mu has all attributes.

This difference might not be noticeable in the short term.

However, once one achieves the Great Dao Nascent Soul stage, their lifespan will be measured in hundreds of thousands or even millions of years.

If they can all live for more than ten million years, even if Dongfang Hong has unlimited energy, her magical power might not be much less than Mu Mu's.

Moreover, Yi Dong is of the wood element, so it's clear that the Yi family will inevitably allocate more resources to cultivators with the wood element in the future.

Wood-attribute cultivators will inevitably become the mainstream of the Yi family.

Since Dongfang Hong couldn't rely on wood-attribute cultivators for cultivation, she naturally didn't want Mu Mu to be able to use their help.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Hong couldn't help but think of Yi Dong's plan.

Perhaps Yi Dong was also considering the same thing, fearing that he would surpass his opponent in the future, which is why he specifically chose a bloodline seed from Jinshan City. Unfortunately, Dongfang Hong would not let Yi Dong have his way.
