Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 401 Nascent Soul Stage Gathering, Core Formation Stage Appears (Two Chapters Combined, Requesting Monthly Tickets! Extra Chapter as Usual This Afternoon!)

"The Xuan Yue Sect? True Monarch Qingxuan?!"

The guard captain was greatly shocked; the Xuan Yue Sect was the number one sect in the Northwest.

Although the Azure Dragon Alliance and the Profound Moon Sect are nominally on equal footing, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Profound Moon Sect is the superior sect of all prefectures and forces.

Which faction would dare disobey its orders?

Although the captain of the guard did not recognize Qingxuan Zhenjun, anyone who could be addressed as Zhenjun was certainly no ordinary person.

He dared not delay and immediately took out a specially made communication talisman to urgently report the message to Deputy City Lord Chen Changge.

"True Lord Qingxuan?"

Chen Changge was slightly startled upon receiving the message, "Why is he here?"

Without a second thought, he immediately replied, "Quickly bring the two Xuan Yue Sect elders to the City Lord's Mansion, and do not neglect them."

"Yes, Lord Chen."

The captain of the guards immediately said, "Seniors, City Lord Chen asked me to take you to the City Lord's Mansion. Please follow me."

"Not going to the Xu residence?" Zhang Xuanzhi asked curiously.

"This junior doesn't know either."

"Lead the way," said True Lord Qingxuan.

Soon they arrived at the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

Chen Changge and Tang Yuanli were waiting at the door. When they saw the two of them arrive, they immediately stepped forward, clasped their hands, and said, "Greetings, True Lord Qingxuan, greetings, Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"You two are too kind," True Lord Qingxuan and Zhang Xuanzhi returned the greeting.

The group entered the hall.

"Please sit down, and have some tea."

A maidservant had already prepared and served the brewed spiritual tea.

"The presence of True Lord Qingxuan in my Yunxi City brings great honor to my humble abode. According to the guards, the True Lord has come to visit our patriarch?"

"Patriarch?" Zhang Xuanzhi exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Changge explained with a smile, "I have joined the Xu family and become a guest elder of the Xu family."

"May I ask where Fellow Daoist Kurong is? I haven't seen him for a long time and was just about to pay him a visit."

From the moment Qingxuan Zhenjun and Zhang Xuanzhi entered the inner city, their every move was observed by Mo Yue.

Its divine sense was constantly probing in the dark.

"Looking for Xu Chuan? Could it be about what he mentioned?"

Mo Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately left the Xu residence for the City Lord's mansion.

Chen Changge and Tang Yuanli exchanged a glance, and Chen Changge sighed softly, "To be honest, True Lord, the patriarch has already gone on a journey."

"Not here?" Qingxuan Zhenjun was surprised.

"Is Junior Brother Mingxian here?"

He was not there either.

Upon hearing this, both Qingxuan Zhenjun and Zhang Xuanzhi frowned slightly.

Am I going to have made a wasted trip today?
Just now.

A strong demonic aura surged in from outside the hall.

Then a burly figure entered the hall.

It's Moyue!

"Speak to me if you have any questions."

"A transformed demon! It really is a dragon!"

The moment Qingxuan Zhenjun saw Mo Yue, his pupils contracted.

This domineering aura is in no way inferior to that of the sect leader.

Having just entered the Transformation Stage, it already possesses such power; this dragon's bloodline is extraordinary!
Qingxuan Zhenjun made a judgment in his heart, and immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Senior."

The others did the same.

"Greetings, senior!"

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!"

Mo Yue sat down directly in the main seat, his dark golden vertical pupils sweeping over Qingxuan Zhenjun and Zhang Xuanzhi, and said: "I know a little about the purpose of your visit. Xu Chuan told me about it."

In his absence, the Azure Dragon Palace will respect me as the most respected.

Therefore, just speak to me.

Qingxuan Zhenjun was slightly surprised. After pondering for a moment, he clasped his hands and said, "Then please come to my Xuan Yue Sect with Senior Mo before March 21st to discuss the ancient battlefield."

It really is that case!
Xu Chuan's guess was spot on!
"I understand, and I will certainly keep the appointment." Mo Yue nodded slightly.

"By the way, I wonder where Fellow Daoist Kurong is traveling now? The ancient battlefield is a great opportunity, and I have heard that he now has the combat power of a Nascent Soul cultivator."

With his abilities, it would be a real shame to miss out.

The phrase "great opportunity" stirred something in the hearts of Chen Changge and Tang Yuanli.

"Don't worry, since Xu Chuan knows about it, he certainly won't miss it."

Qingxuan Zhenjun nodded slightly.

At this moment, Zhang Xuanzhi asked, "Where is Fairy Fengling?"

Mo Yue looked Zhang Xuanzhi up and down with interest, a slight smile playing on his lips. "What, you want to pursue Ling'er?"

"Senior is too kind. I only wish to exchange a few pointers with him."

"I see." Mo Yue suddenly felt bored and said, "Do you think that in the entire Northwest, only Ling girl is worthy of being your opponent?"

Seeing that he did not reply, Mo Yue's eyes flashed, and he continued, "You haven't even reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm yet, so don't be delusional."

Do you think you're Xu Chuan?

Anger rose in Zhang Xuanzhi's eyes. "Why does Senior belittle me like this?"

"I'm just telling the truth. I don't know about other places in Tiannan, but at least in the entire Northwest, no one among the younger generation should be a match for Ling'er."

The younger generation that Mo Yue refers to is naturally cultivators within the last two cycles of sixty years.

"Whether we win or lose, who can guarantee it until we've had the chance to compete?"

"The little guy is young, but he has quite a temper. You don't have a chance, but the old man next to you should be able to."

"Senior, please don't joke. I am over four hundred years old, how could I possibly compete with a junior?"

Mo Yue naturally wouldn't go into detail.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may leave. Xu Chuan and the Xu family are not here at the moment."

Are they all gone?
Qingxuan Zhenjun and Zhang Xuanzhi were slightly startled and exchanged a glance.

"We understand, then we shall take our leave."

The two, Qingxuan Zhenjun and his companion, did not linger and left immediately.

Zhang Xuanzhi came here intending to spar with Xu Deling, but unfortunately, he made a wasted trip.

They left Yunxi City.

The two then returned directly to Xuan Yue Mansion.

When they arrived, they used a teleportation array to go directly to the territory of Canglong Prefecture, but to return, they could only rely on flying.

"Senior Brother Qingxuan, that transformed demon is truly arrogant."

"Junior brother is angry?" Qingxuan Zhenjun stroked his beard and smiled. "That's just how the demon race is. But the Xu family is able to cultivate a great demon in human form. Their methods are truly remarkable."

Although the ancestor possessed extraordinary abilities, capturing a transformed demon would not be difficult, but making them submit would be extremely difficult.

If this method can be traded in the future, it will greatly benefit my Xuan Yue Sect.

He paused for a moment, then added, "However, that great demon might not have been lying. The fortune of the number one prodigy is immense."

Even without the nurturing of top-tier forces, their growth will still be rapid.

Zhang Xuanzhi was dissatisfied.

Qingxuan Zhenjun glanced at him and sighed inwardly.

This is the arrogance of a prodigy from a powerful force.

But there are always higher heavens and more capable people.

He was once a prodigy who achieved the Golden Core stage. After achieving the Golden Core, he traveled around and encountered many setbacks before gradually smoothing out his rough edges.

Simply put.

They just lack the harsh realities of society!
"Can anyone contend with me?" Qingxuan Zhenjun silently recalled the words Mo Yue had spoken. "Perhaps my Xuan Yue Sect should strengthen its ties with Canglong Prefecture."

Because of the great distance and the lack of information, major events such as the conflict between two prefectures, the appearance of a primordial secret realm, and the transformation of a prefecture are only able to reach other prefectures quickly.

As for the rest, it's hard to say.

After the two left.

Mo Yue then asked Chen Changge to find someone to bring Mo Wentian over.

At this moment, Mo Wentian was at the Azure Dragon Alliance's mountain gate, cultivating with the help of a fourth-grade low-level spiritual vein.

There won't be any major changes in Canglong Prefecture in the short term, and the Mo family won't be in danger either, so he naturally needs to seize the time to improve his cultivation level.

However, the Mo family's own spiritual veins did not provide much assistance.

Therefore, like Xi Daoyun, he usually stayed in charge of the Azure Dragon Alliance.

"Mo Yue is looking for me?"

Upon receiving the message, Mo Wentian pondered for a moment before heading to Yunxi City.

moment.

He then arrived at the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

"Fellow Daoist Moyue, what business do you have with me?"

"Senior Mo, just now, True Monarch Qingxuan and Zhang Xuan from the Xuan Yue Sect came to invite you and the Supreme Elder to arrive at the Xuan Yue Sect before March 21st to discuss the ancient battlefield."

"Is the ancient battlefield about to open again?" Mo Wentian's pupils shrank.

As a family with a history spanning over a thousand years in this area, the Mo family naturally knew about it.

The last time the ancient battlefield opened, the Mo family lost three late-stage Golden Core cultivators, which led to a significant drop in their strength.

Although they have long since recovered, in terms of late-stage Golden Core foundation, apart from Mo Wentian himself, they are still inferior to the Lei family.

"Senior Mo knows?" Chen Changge asked in surprise.

"Naturally, this is both a great opportunity and a great danger. It opens once every five hundred years. However, if the clan does not have four or five Golden Core cultivators or above, then we are not afraid that the Golden Core lineage will be cut off."

Let's not get into that idea.

"Without a trump card to save your life, without amazing combat power, and without any luck against the heavens, going there will only lead to your death."

"You old codger, you know quite a lot. Now that you know, then leave. I will inform you when to depart."

"This time, Fellow Daoist Mo Yue, are you going? Fellow Daoist Xu, aren't you going?"

"What's it to you?"

Mo Wentian's lips twitched.

He knew that Mo Yue had always been indifferent to him and even looked down on him, so he didn't care.

Chen Changge said, "The patriarch and the other elders have all gone out, but according to the Supreme Elder, they will all participate in the ancient battlefield."

Mo Wentian was not surprised.

After all, it would be a real shame not to send someone with Xu Chuan's combat prowess.

"I understand. If anything happens, just let me know in the Alliance."

Mo Wentian did not linger and immediately returned to the main gate of the Azure Dragon Alliance.

In the blink of an eye.

The day of the invitation from the Xuan Yue Sect was approaching.

Mo Yue and Mo Wentian headed to the Xuan Yue Sect.

It arrived in a few days.

Upon seeing the arrival of a transformed great demon, the disciples of the Xuan Yue Sect were immediately startled, but there was also a Nascent Soul stage senior beside them.

Clearly, the transformed demon was also invited.

Therefore, they did not dare to be negligent and had someone lead the two to the council hall.

There were already quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall.

There were cultivators in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul realm, and Qi Tianxiong was among them.

He glanced at the two of them, his eyes flashed, and then he paid them no more attention.

Many of the others were also curious and took a few more glances.

However, those present were all seasoned veterans with deep-seated cunning, so it was unlikely that they would dare to utter any provocative words.

About half a day later.

Several more Nascent Soul cultivators arrived.

Next, Zhang Daoran, the sect leader of the Xuan Yue Sect, appeared.

"Welcome, fellow Daoists, to my Xuan Yue Sect. As you all know, the time for this war between the two domains has been set."

It was on the ninth day of the tenth lunar month, just six months later.

This time, my Xuan Yue Sect has decided to travel from the Canglong Prefecture.

The first day of October.

Those from various prefectures who wish to participate in this war between the two regions gathered at Taihe Lake.

Each prefecture must send at least five hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators and five Golden Core cultivators.

As for the ancient battlefield after it manifests, entering it depends entirely on one's own will.

During this period, all factions are strictly prohibited from fighting. If any are discovered, the Xuan Yue Sect will personally take action to annihilate them as a warning.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators were clearly not visiting for the first time, and they remained unmoved.

Only Mo Yue and Mo Wentian's pupils contracted slightly.

"Furthermore, the war between the two domains must not be divulged. All participants must swear an oath of faith and not disclose it to others upon their return."

As the war between the two domains approaches, Nascent Soul stage cultivators may reveal a little, but not the core details.

"A war between two regions? They're quite good at covering up their shame."

Mo Yue harbored resentment in his heart.

He had naturally heard everything Xu Chuan had said about the blood sacrifice.

It's highly likely that the Blackwater region will initiate the massacre, while Tiannan will remain uninvolved until Tiannan intervenes, leading to a fierce battle between the two sides until the ancient battlefield reappears.

Then they began searching for opportunities.

"That concludes the notification. Fellow Daoists, do you still have any questions?"

Zhang Daoran looked at Mo Wentian and said, "Fellow Daoist Mo, you are a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator in the Northwest. This should be your first time participating in the war between the two domains. Do you have any questions?"

Mo Wentian pondered upon hearing this.

Although the Mo family knew about the ancient battlefield and the war, they did not know the specifics.

"Is the war between the two domains only involving the Golden Core stage?"

"Even those in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm can join, but in the past, few have actually taken action; they usually enter directly after the ancient battlefield appears."

"If I join, will I be able to kill those with lower cultivation levels than myself, or will I have to fight against Nascent Soul cultivators from the Blackwater Domain?"

"There are no rules in this battle," Zhang Daoran said calmly. "Or rather, the only rule is to live until the ancient battlefield closes."

Mo Wentian frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "It seems that the records of my Mo family are too superficial and have not touched on the core of this incident at all."

He paused, then asked, "What about the ancient battlefield? What was it like inside?"

"If you are willing to pay the price, I, the sect master, can reveal some details about this matter. You can also make a deal with the fellow Daoists present who know the inside story."

All I can say is that the ancient battlefield contains both great opportunities and great dangers.

Speaking of ancient battlefields.

This time, my Xuan Yue Sect is offering a reward: one Ancient Prodigy Token can be exchanged for a high-grade innate spiritual item, and three tokens can be exchanged for a low-grade fourth-tier spiritual vein.

If you don't like any of these, you can make a request.

As long as it's not excessive, and it's within the capabilities of my Xuan Yue Sect, we can fulfill your request.

For example, the transmission of Dharma images, longevity elixirs, and even breakthrough elixirs.

Of course, these items are all limited.

"Can it only be exchanged using Ancient Prodigy Tokens?"

A thin, slightly graying old man suddenly asked.

“That’s right,” Zhang Daoran said. “This was jointly agreed upon by my Xuan Yue Sect, Qing Yun Sect, Yu Hua Sect, and others. In addition to exchanging with my Xuan Yue Sect, you can also exchange with the other four major forces.”

As for any other opportunities you obtain in the ancient battlefield, if you feel you cannot keep them, you may hand some over to my Xuan Yue Sect, and my Xuan Yue Sect will protect you.

The duration of protection depends on the value of the items.

Everyone fell silent.

Zhang Daoran scanned the crowd and continued, "Are there any more questions? If not, this meeting will end here."

Seeing that no one spoke, he smiled faintly, "In that case, let's all gather at Taihe Lake on the first day of the tenth month. Fellow Daoists, please don't forget."

The group bowed to each other and then got up to leave.

Qi Tianxiong glanced at Mo Yue and Mo Wentian, then soared into the air and transformed into a streak of black light, disappearing into the distance.

"There's something wrong!"

Mo Yue cursed under his breath, then left as well.

Mo Wentian stayed close by, not daring to get too close, nor too far away.

Zhang Daoran stood at the entrance of the main hall, watching Mo Yue and the others depart into the distance, his eyes slightly shimmering.

"Xu Chuan didn't come. Is he still traveling?"

As a peerless genius who fought against a Nascent Soul cultivator while only achieving Golden Core, Zhang Daoran naturally paid special attention to him.

Even the other prefectures in the Northwest were curious about Xu Chuan. After all, to them, Xu Chuan was like a prodigy who had suddenly appeared.

Of course, the main reason Zhang Daoran cared about Xu Chuan was because his master thought highly of him.

"After this ancient battlefield, I should break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage."

After saying this, he returned to his mountain peak.

a few days later.

Mo Yue and Mo Wentian returned to the Azure Dragon Mansion, and soon after, they also held a meeting in the council hall of the Azure Dragon Alliance.

"The war between the two regions is about to begin. Fellow Daoists, is anyone interested?"

Mo Wentian scanned the crowd and said.

Lei Wuji said, "Elder, the Grand Elder is not here. Should we wait until he returns to discuss this matter?"

“No need to wait,” Mo Yue said. “He will bring Xu family disciples to participate. This war between the two domains is indeed dangerous, but an ancient battlefield will appear during it.”

There are great opportunities there, such as the opportunity to form a core, the opportunity to form an infant, and even the opportunity to transform into a deity.

Only participants are allowed to enter the ancient battlefield.

Before leaving, Xu Chuan said that ordinary people in the early stages of the Golden Core realm should not go, but those who are nearing their lifespan may be able to give it a shot, and those who are stuck at the bottleneck of a major realm may also be able to give it a shot.

It's better than sitting around waiting to die.

Everyone was surprised to hear this.

Lei Wuji immediately thought of his ancestor.

It would be extremely difficult for him to perfect his lightning-based divine abilities unless he had a high-grade innate spiritual object of the lightning element to assist him.

“I am willing to make the trip,” Bingqian suddenly said.

Everyone looked over.

"Elder Bingqian's supernatural abilities and combat strength are quite good, he is indeed suitable, but are there any others?"

"I'll go too," Yang Qi said.

“My Lei family is also willing to send someone there, but I still need to return to the Lei family and discuss the specifics with the patriarch.”

"Very good. Is there anyone else?" Mo Wentian scanned the crowd again. "If not..."

"The Xu family can send out the remaining Golden Core cultivators. The rest should not go to their deaths if they are not confident. If they want to take a gamble, they are free to do so," Mo Yue decided directly.

Mo Wentian did not refute, but asked, "How will the five hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators be selected?"

“We can select 500 people directly from the Azure Dragon Alliance. Those who are willing can have their families directly obtain two spots to enter the Azure Dragon Alliance.”

The Azure Dragon Alliance's assessment is quite difficult, and it's not something you can just join if you want to.

It wouldn't be a loss to exchange for two directly.

"Alliance Leader Cang, this matter is now in your hands. You must select five hundred people before October. The number can only be more, not less."

“I understand.”

It's not just the Azure Dragon Palace.

Throughout the Northwest, various prefectures and factions were also discussing the selection of a candidate.

The Greedy Wolf Mansion.

Ancient Youcheng.

"During the war between the two regions, the forces of each prefecture were forbidden from fighting. It seems that we can only wait until later to plan the matter of the Greedy Wolf Sect."

Upon receiving the message from the Greedy Wolf Sect, Gu Xuanyou thought to himself, and then summoned the Great Elder of Guyou City, saying, "The war between the two domains is about to begin. Great Elder, please go to the Greedy Wolf Sect on my behalf."

If anyone asks about me, the sect leader, just say I am still in seclusion.

"I understand."

A war between two regions.

It stirred up the entire southern region and the Blackwater region.

However, most people are unaware of this matter.

After all, this can't be considered a real war between two regions; it's just an agreement between Tiannan, Heishui, and the demon race to compete for the opportunity of the ancient battlefield.

When the decisive battle between the two regions finally arrives.

That was a true mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!
--------------

A place of imprisonment.

Dongxi.

April 9th.

This day.

The celestial phenomenon of Core Formation reappeared in Dongxi, but this time the core of the phenomenon was not Bihan Pool, but the place where the five tribes gathered.

"Someone has reached the Core Formation stage? Who is it?"

"Yes, Ancestor, he is my Zhao family's ancestor, hahaha!"

"My Zhao family is finally going to produce a Golden Core cultivator!"

Countless members of the Zhao family cheered.

Zhao Qingyan was also beaming with joy, originally intending to help Zhao Qiyang, who was nearing his death, to boost his luck.

However, they also knew that without the help of the Xu family, even with the help of the spiritual energy environment of Dongxi, the chance of forming a core was less than 10%.

Under these circumstances, Zhao Qiyang actually succeeded in forming his core.

It can be said that it was divine intervention.

"It's a pity that this breakthrough came too late. The oath of vassalage has already been made, how can it be easily broken? The power of the Xu family is far beyond that of the Zhao family."

The Xu family's geniuses in both immortal cultivation and martial arts are far ahead of all other families.

"However, perhaps it was precisely because the Zhao family was subordinate to the Xu family and relied on the spiritual energy of the cave that the ancestor was given a chance to break through."

A spiritual tide descends.

All the disciples nearby benefited and began to meditate and regulate their breathing.

At the Xu family mansion, many people took to the air and looked over.

"He has indeed formed his core." Xu Mingyuan's eyes lit up with a strange light, and he thought to himself, "Father is still so shrewd and calculating."

However, it is at this crucial juncture that the core is formed.

He sighed softly.

Even without Xu Chuan's predictive abilities, Xu Mingyuan could foresee Zhao Qiyang's fate.

The Zhao family is considered to be a family with strong cohesion.

But precisely because of this, it will become the reins that bind Zhao Qiyang to death.

If he can disregard his family, he might have a glimmer of hope.

"Chonghui, now that Fellow Daoist Zhao has reached the Core Formation stage, you can deliver three Foundation Strengthening Pills on behalf of the Xu family to help him quickly stabilize his cultivation level, and have him leave the Xu family within three months."

Xu Chuan's voice echoed in Xu Chonghui's mind.

Then a streak of light flew over.

It is a porcelain vase.

"Yes, great-grandfather."

Xu Chonghui immediately went there and handed the porcelain bottle containing the elixir to Zhao Qingyan.

"Thank you, patriarch."

"This was my great-grandfather's idea. He also said that Senior Zhao could stay in Dongxi for another three months to consolidate his cultivation before leaving."

"I understand," Zhao Qingyan nodded.

Zhao Qiyang was only using the spiritual energy of the cave to cultivate, so naturally he couldn't stay here indefinitely.

Moreover, once he forms his Golden Core, the chances of the Zhao family's main lineage surviving the great calamity will increase.

For those outside of Dongxi.

They naturally speculated which member of the Xu family had reached the Core Formation stage.

They are almost immune to the phenomenon of Core Formation.

There won't be too much of a shock.

After an incense stick has burned.

The phenomenon of Core Formation disappeared.

Zhao Qingyan arrived at the door of Zhao Qiyang's room and transmitted his voice into the room, saying, "Ancestor."

"Come in."

The door opened, and Zhao Qingyan entered. He saw Zhao Qiyang sitting cross-legged on a futon. His golden core aura was very obvious and fluctuated abnormally.

Upon seeing this, he quickly took out a porcelain bottle and presented it with both hands, saying, "Ancestor, this is a foundation-strengthening and vitality-nourishing pill sent by the Xu family to congratulate you on achieving the Core Formation. It should be useful to you."

Zhao Qiyang took the porcelain bottle in his hand, opened it, smelled it, and his eyes lit up, "Third-tier pills, and all of them are top-grade?!"

This is worth several times more than a whole bottle of low-grade elixirs.

"I thank the Xu family for their help. This pill is of great use to me at this time, and it will help me consolidate my cultivation level within at least two months."

“Ancestor, Patriarch Xu also said that you can stay in Dongxi for three months.”

"Three months? I understand."

"Then Qingyan will not disturb Ancestor in consolidating his realm."

"Hmm." Zhao Qiyang nodded slightly.

With the spiritual energy of the cave and the elixirs, Zhao Qiyang stabilized his realm in just over a month, and then he began to refine his natal magic weapon with true flames.

Unfortunately, he was not a weapon refiner, and his refining techniques were too crude, so he only managed to refine a very ordinary flying sword magic weapon.

Moreover, because it lacks artifact patterns, its power cannot be considered a true magic weapon.

It falls somewhere between a magical artifact and a magical treasure.

Only through continuous self-cultivation can it hope to become a true treasure.

The three-month period has arrived.

Zhao Qiyang then left Dongxi.

Xu Mingwei personally saw him off.

Looking at his retreating figure, Xu Mingwei sighed inwardly.

He arrived at Bihan Pool.

"Great-grandfather." Xu Jingwu stood up and bowed to Xu Mingwei.

Xu Mingwei nodded slightly, walked up to Xu Chuan, and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Father."

"Zhao Qiyang is gone?"

"Yes, I personally saw him off."

"You have something to say?" Xu Chuan did not open his eyes, remaining in a meditative posture.

"We can't hide it from Father. Zhao Qiyang is at least a Golden Core cultivator. Why shouldn't our Xu family recruit him?"

"He has not received any favors from my Xu family, so there is no need for him to do so. Moreover, he is bound to protect the main branch of the Zhao family. Most importantly, his potential is too low."

I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to reach the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm on my own.

My Xu family will not lack Golden Core cultivators in the future. The Yan and Wu families are also geniuses with the potential to form a Golden Core. They are loyal to my Xu family, so it is more worthwhile to cultivate them.

After a pause, Xu Chuan continued, "Mingwei, don't you think your father is too materialistic?"

Xu Mingwei shook his head. "Father's thoughts are all for the benefit of our Xu family. It is only because I see that Fellow Daoist Zhao will probably not escape death when he returns this time that I feel this way."

"It's because you see your own reflection in him." Xu Chuan suddenly opened his eyes and sighed softly. "If my Xu family and the Zhao family were in different situations..."

You will also go back to protect your family without hesitation.

"It's not just you; most of my Xu family are like that."

"It's all thanks to my father's excellent teaching." Xu Mingwei smiled faintly.

"When did I ever teach you to be sentimental?" Xu Chuan rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Whether we can safely weather this calamity and relocate all the Dongxi people to Yunxi City."

As a father, I am only 60-70% sure.

Preserving even a small portion of each family's bloodline is already the limit.

The rest of them, well, let them have their own luck.

"I understand, child."

After speaking, Xu Mingwei bowed and took his leave, and Xu Jingwu also bowed until Xu Mingwei left.

"Jingwu, what do you think of your great-grandfather?"

"Your grandson dares not speak presumptuously."

"Just speak frankly."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Jingwu said, "Great-grandfather was as majestic as a mountain and seemed stern, but in reality he was very loyal and righteous."

"Yes, they are loyal and righteous, but in the cultivation world, it is often these kinds of people who die the fastest." Xu Chuan sighed softly, "Humans are the most complicated people."

Let alone outsiders, even family members often have their own selfish motives, and disputes are common.

"If I had had a dozen or more children back then, I estimate that each branch of the family would have already formed its own small clique."

"With our ancestors around, the Xu family will never fall apart."

Xu Jingwu had naturally seen many such scenes, so he knew that this statement was true.

Xu Chuan smiled faintly and said out of the blue, "In the future, we should let them go out and gain some experience."

Xu Jingwu nodded, assuming that they were being sent out to travel.

But they are actually completely different.

Xu Chuan had already made a plan for the Xu family's future for the next hundred years back in Yunxi City.

"Have you had any doubts about comprehending supernatural powers recently?" Xu Chuan suddenly asked.

"There are some, and I would appreciate your guidance, ancestor."

"Make your move now and let me see the true meaning you've come to understand."

"Yes, my ancestor."

Xu Jingwu bowed slightly before making his move.

His body was filled with surging blood and qi, and those wisps of blood and qi eventually transformed into the phantom of a fierce tiger.

The tiger's roar shook the heavens.

The enormous tiger claw slammed down towards Xu Chuan's head.

When the tiger's claws approached within half a zhang of Xu Chuan, a wisp of green light appeared automatically, easily blocking the tiger's claws.

Suddenly, the blue light intensified, shaking back the illusory tiger image.

"The application of Qi and blood? Could this be the true meaning of Qi and blood?"

"My grandson doesn't know either. I originally wanted to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts, but I ended up understanding this instead."

"That's interesting. Both martial arts practitioners and cultivators need to refine spiritual energy. One transforms it into magical power, and the other into true energy. Yuan power is the fusion of true energy and blood."

Your use of Qi and blood is somewhat similar to that of the Blood Demon Path, but it is different and much purer.

More like…

Xu Chuan paused for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up. "It's more like tempering one's own bloodline."

"If a cultivator's cultivation level increases, it will also lead to changes in their bloodline, but it seems to be different for martial artists, who are very similar to demonic beasts."

The strength of a demon beast's physical body varies, and the key lies in its bloodline.

The stronger the bloodline, the stronger the physical body of most demonic beasts, and they may even develop supernatural abilities—these are called bloodline supernatural abilities.

Xu Jingwu also had a flash of inspiration, "Does the ancestor mean that the supernatural powers of martial arts may require combining the supernatural powers with one's own bloodline?"

"This should just be a kind of ordinary supernatural power, like the supernatural powers of us cultivators. But a supernatural power that is combined with bloodline should be called bloodline supernatural power, or innate supernatural power."

If you succeed in this cultivation, and your cultivation reaches an extremely high level in the future, your offspring may directly possess the inheritance of supernatural powers.

This is something that cultivators cannot achieve.

Indeed, the birth of martial arts may well cause enormous waves in the future.

Xu Chuan let out a long sigh.

Xu Jingwu also frowned deeply.

"Among cultivators, there are also some who possess special bloodlines and can form families based on their bloodlines, but most of them are ancient powerful demon beasts or even true spirit bloodlines that can achieve this."

This is extremely rare.

If our speculation is true, then as martial arts mature, there will be more and more powerful families like this, which may well be the fuse for the conflict between immortals and martial arts.

Xu Chuan stared at Xu Jingwu, "Wu'er, you can study your innate divine power, which will benefit the family, but even if you comprehend it, you must not lightly pass it on."

They all need to make them take a solemn oath.

Martial arts are similar to the dual cultivation of body and mind, which has advantages over the pure path of immortality. However, it is still an imperfect path, and its cultivation is probably more difficult than that of the path of immortality.

Therefore, those top experts wouldn't care.

But if one could condense bloodline supernatural powers and pass them down, that would be terrifying.

After all, it's much easier for humans to have offspring than for those powerful demon beast clans.

Xu Jingwu nodded emphatically, "Grandson will remember the teachings of the Ancestor. If I ever truly discover my innate supernatural power, I will never reveal it without the Ancestor's permission."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I can't help you much with this. As for bloodline research, you can go to Ming Shu and ask for some essence blood of third-tier demonic beasts."

You could also ask for a few drops of De Ling's essence blood, as she now possesses the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix.

In terms of bloodline, she is the strongest in the Xu family, only a hair's breadth away from the sixth rank.

The study of blood is indispensable for comprehending one's innate supernatural powers.

However, other supernatural powers should not be needed. The true meaning of supernatural powers is extremely inclusive, and when combined with magical power, it can form powerful supernatural spells.

When combined with elemental energy, it can also create powerful martial arts techniques.

You should be able to conduct your research without any problems if you follow this line of thought.

Besides, the true meaning of battle that Ye Fan has comprehended should also be very compatible with your martial arts. You can take some time to ask him for guidance.
