Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

Before the Ancestor of Fire, Jiang Yuan did not hide anything and gave a general account of his recent experiences. However, he omitted the part about the Jade Disc of Creation, only saying that he had other opportunities.

What spiritual practitioner doesn't have a few secrets?

Therefore, Sui Zu did not inquire about the origin of Jiang Yuan's opportunity, but instead became very curious about the breathing technique he created and began to study it seriously.

"Breathing techniques? That's interesting. By adjusting your breathing, you can improve the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy. Your cultivation method complements my Fire Seed technique."

With his cultivation level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, Sui Zu understood all the mysteries of the breathing technique after just a few glances, and then praised it.

"It's not comparable to the fire-based method!"

Jiang Yuan wasn't being modest; just moments ago, he had been implanted with the Fire Seed by the Ancestor of Fire, and then he was shocked.

This Fire Seed Technique is too overpowered; it's not an active skill, but a passive one. As long as a Fire Seed is implanted within the body, one doesn't need to cultivate; simply breathing normally will make one stronger.

In the present primordial world, innate spiritual energy is abundant. Even beings born after birth will unconsciously inhale some spiritual energy when they breathe.

However, simply inhaling spiritual energy is useless; one must find a way to refine it and retain it within the body.

This is what acquired beings lack: although they can absorb spiritual energy, they cannot refine it.

The appearance of the fire seed undoubtedly makes up for this. By planting a wisp of fire seed within the body, spiritual energy entering the body will be refined by the fire seed and become nourishment for becoming stronger.

This is practically turning cultivation into an instinct; as long as one is alive, one is cultivating. Compared to this, the breathing technique created by Jiang Yuan is indeed nothing.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Jiang Yuan's breathing technique is meaningless. On the contrary, his breathing technique is very meaningful and can complement the Fire Seed Technique.

No matter how good the refining effect of the Fire Seed Method is, what's the use if you don't absorb much spiritual energy into your body?

The same applies to breathing techniques. No matter how much spiritual energy you inhale, it's useless if you can't refine it.

The best approach is to combine both methods, which can greatly improve cultivation efficiency and shorten the time required to break through realms.

That is why the Ancestor of Fire praised the breathing method created by Jiang Yuan. He had only gone from zero to one, and hadn't even figured out how to go from one to many, when Jiang Yuan surprised him and paved the way for what was to come.

Breathing techniques are a continuation of the Fire Seed Technique.

The future human race should take the Fire Seed Method as its foundation and, following Jiang Yuan's ideas, create more breathing techniques.

"The Fire Seed Method is good, but there is a problem that needs to be solved. That is, the clansmen are currently few in number, so implanting it one by one is not enough."

"But as time goes by, the number of people in the tribe will definitely increase. At that time, you, Ancestor Sui, will definitely be too busy to manage, and how to implant the fire seed in all the people will become a big problem."

Thinking of the terrifying rate at which his clansmen reproduced, Jiang Yuan suddenly said with deep concern.

"You truly possess great wisdom. I've also considered this point and already have a solution. But I'd still like to hear your method?"

Sui Zu smiled, his gaze towards Jiang Yuan growing increasingly satisfied. He had many descendants, but Jiang Yuan was the first to be as intelligent as him.

"I'm just a little clever, I don't have any great wisdom. The methods I can think of are the same as many other methods. It's just a matter of binding the fire to the bloodline and then passing it down through the bloodline."

"In this way, if we implant the fire seed in all the people of our tribe, their descendants will be born with the fire seed and will not need to be implanted again."

Jiang Yuanzhen wasn't being modest; his greatest strength was his self-awareness, knowing exactly what he was capable of.

"Yes, that's one way, but it's not enough." Sui Zu paused, then said gravely:

"Everyone except saints will die, including immortals and gods."

"Our human race has celestial immortals, Taiyi golden immortals, and in the future there will be great Luo golden immortals, and even quasi-saints."

"When they die, the flame within them will also go out, which is undoubtedly a great waste. Therefore, I link the flame with the destiny of humanity."

"In this way, once a god or immortal falls among our human race, the human race's fortune will shatter them into countless fragments before their flame is extinguished, and randomly disperse them into the bodies of our people, thus benefiting future generations."

After Suizu finished speaking, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but tremble. So this was the meaning of passing on the torch and ensuring the continuation of life. According to Suizu's method, the human race would no longer lack geniuses in the future.

How can the fragments of a celestial being's fire seed be the same as the fire seed of an ordinary cultivator? The former's efficiency in refining spiritual energy is undoubtedly far superior to the latter, perhaps even tens of thousands of times greater.

Most importantly, the method of the Fire Ancestor breaks the limitations of bloodline and is completely random, which is equivalent to giving ordinary people a chance to rise to the top.

Even without a powerful bloodline, one can still rise to prominence by relying on fragments of the fire of immortals and gods.

Huh?

Isn't this the special physique of later generations?

Those who can rival the bloodlines of gods and demons are often geniuses with special physiques.

Everyone knows how divine and demonic bloodlines come about—they're passed down from ancestors. But special physiques can't just appear out of thin air.

Now Jiang Yuan understood: the so-called special physiques were formed from fragments of immortal and divine fire seeds. These fragments merged into ordinary human bodies, transforming into various powerful special physiques.

"The ancestor of the Sui dynasty was a great talent!"

Jiang Yuan now truly admires Sui Zu immensely; he is a true sage.

Since ancient times, the path of cultivation in the primordial world has always been related to bloodline, and even a powerful figure like the Ancestral Dragon could not bypass this point.

However, the ancestor of the Sui Dynasty was able to find another way, bypassing the limitations of bloodline, and creating a special physique.

This……

Well, the last person to bypass the bloodline limitation was Hongjun Daoren, the first saint of the prehistoric world, who is now revered as the Dao Ancestor.

The wisdom of the ancestor of the Fire God is close to that of the ancestor of the Dao!

"You're too modest. Compared to you, my wisdom is nothing."

Sui Zu smiled, then suddenly looked at Jiang Yuan with a very serious expression.

While the breathing technique was good, it was merely a minor skill and not a sign of great talent. What truly impressed the Ancestor of Fire was another technique that Jiang Yuan had created.

That is a method that allows beings born after birth to skip the innate bloodline and the true spirit bloodline, and directly awaken the bloodline of gods and demons.

This is the key point. Even powerful races like the dragons and demons cannot awaken the divine and demonic bloodlines in all their descendants, but Jiang Yuan's method can enable the human race to do so.

What does this mean?

Even if one awakens the bloodline of gods and demons, it doesn't necessarily mean that one can revert to an innate god or demon, but at least that possibility exists.

A race whose members all have the potential to revert to their ancestral form and become innate gods and demons has unimaginable potential and will inevitably become the future overlord of the prehistoric world.

This is Jiang Yuan's method, which gave humankind the possibility of becoming the overlords of the primordial world. Considering this, how could the Ancestor Sui not value Jiang Yuan highly?

Inside the belly of the Kun fish, Jiang Yuan, in order to awaken a stronger bloodline, made his body constantly cycle between destruction and rebirth.

Finally, he achieved his wish and awakened his innate divine and demonic bloodline.

Based on this experience, and with the insignificant help of the Creation Jade Disc, he created a body-refining method that could awaken a stronger bloodline.
