126: Chapter 126 The Art of Bloodline Inheritance

Massive amounts of profound and abstruse cultivation information poured into his sea of consciousness. Lin Ye hurriedly focused his mind to examine it, but after merely reading the cultivation threshold for the first stage, he was completely dumbfounded, and the ecstatic joy on his face instantly froze.

He had originally thought that even for a supreme cultivation method, as long as one progressed step by step and cultivated diligently with single-minded devotion, they could always gradually improve.

Yet he never expected that the cultivation threshold of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art would be terrifying to the extreme!

Just for the first stage, the Vajra Mysterious Body, the origin resources, rare earthly treasures, divine metal essences, and supreme soul treasures required for tempering constituted an immeasurable astronomical figure.

Without the slightest exaggeration, even if trillions of resources were spent to pile them up, it might not necessarily be enough to successfully complete the first stage to perfection!

If one did not rely on any external force or resource blessing, but solely depended on one's own bitter cultivation and tempering, for an ordinary prodigy to exhaust a lifetime of years and a millennium of hard cultivation to barely touch the threshold of the first stage's perfection would already be the pinnacle of talent!

At this moment, Lin Ye's expression instantly collapsed. All his inner excitement vanished into thin air, leaving only a face full of helplessness and bitterness.

This was no cultivation method; it was clearly a heaven-devouring path!

It was ten thousand times more terrifying than Yuan Zhan's bloodline reversion!

But after a brief moment of depression, Lin Ye's gaze once again became incomparably firm.

With opportunities defying the heavens, immense difficulty was naturally inevitable!

He would never give up such a supreme path of achieving sainthood through the physical body.

If resources were not enough, he would desperately make money, frantically hoard goods, and exhaust all channels to collect natural treasures!

No matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as he laid out his plans steadily, there would eventually be a day of successful cultivation!

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Lin Ye quickly adjusted his mood. Thinking of the complete set of beast bloodline cultivation methods that Yuan Zhan had previously unlocked, he hurriedly pursued the second key question in his heart.

"Can my Ten Great Vassals cultivate those ancient beast cultivation methods and secret arts within your bloodline inheritance?"

This was currently the most practical and cost-effective way to improve. If all the vassals could learn the ancient beast path, their overall combat power would undoubtedly experience a leap-forward surge.

Hearing the question, Yuan Zhan immediately focused his mind and calmed his heart, carefully examining the adaptation mechanism of his own bloodline inheritance. A moment later, he raised his gaze and answered with certainty, "Yes."

"Master, the Ten Great Vassals under your command can currently only be considered ordinary savage beasts, with incomplete spiritual intelligence and crude combat power. Even if they have thin bloodlines of ancient ferocious beasts flowing in their bodies, they are in a sealed and desolate state, completely unable to unleash their foundation."

"Some of the ancient beast cultivation methods I unlocked are perfectly compatible with their bloodlines. I can impart all of them to them, helping them purify their thin bloodlines, open up complete spiritual intelligence, temper their physical bodies, and master exclusive killing battle skills."

At the same time, Yuan Zhan truthfully stated the special restrictions and opportunities within: "However, the rules of this world and the divine kingdom's heaven and earth are special, completely different from Shenzhou, and cannot nurture the traditional monster beast system."

"Yet after practicing the ancient bloodline cultivation methods and shaking off the shackles of savage beasts, they will most likely stabilize their spiritual intelligence and evolve into mutated ancient ferocious beasts, with their combat power, bloodline, and foundation undergoing an all-around transformation. It's just that whether they can completely transcend the limitations of savage beasts in the end will still depend on subsequent bloodline nourishment and opportune fortune."

"In addition, the art of transforming into a human form and the art of refining the transverse bone in the mouth from the bloodline inheritance can also be imparted by me in full to the Ten Great Vassals, helping them completely shed the shackles of their beast bodies and unlock more evolutionary possibilities."

As Yuan Zhan's voice fell, the black-gold battle patterns flowing around his body suddenly shone brightly, and the majestic power of the ancient bloodline slowly surged throughout his entire body.

Accompanied by a subtle and faint sound of tendons and bones being reshaped, his two-meter-tall, fierce and domineering peerless ferocious ape body rapidly shrank, transformed, and condensed. His fur completely shed, and his body silhouette was continuously optimized and reshaped.

In a short instant, the form transformation was completely finished.

In his place had transformed an upright young man of about thirteen or fourteen years old, standing around 1.8 meters tall.

His posture was slender and straight, his physique well-proportioned and agile, and his brows and eyes were sharp and deep, naturally carrying an innate killing aura. His black hair hung down neatly, and his skin was lustrous and firm, with only a trace of faint gilded vertical pupil patterns remaining at the bottom of his eyes, secretly harboring the non-human ferocious charm of the ancient battle ape. The sense of an unworldly youth and the sense of a domineering supreme being blended perfectly, creating an extremely unique temperament.

Yuan Zhan slightly moved his hands, adapting to his brand-new humanoid form, and then slowly began to explain, "Master, this is my humanoid form."

"In the human state, the effects of comprehending the Dao and cultivating, absorbing the origin of heaven and earth, and polishing the profound meanings of the soul far exceed those of the beast body. The cultivation efficiency is doubled, making it most suitable for concentrating on foundation-building, polishing cultivation methods, and refining the origin."

"However, the drawbacks are also very obvious. The human body leans towards comprehending the Dao and self-cultivation; its pure physical explosive power, close-quarters killing combat strength, and physical resistance cannot compare to the fully unleashed ferocious beast body form."

Having finished explaining the differences in his own forms, Yuan Zhan returned to the main topic and continued to elaborate on the cultivation restrictions of the Ten Great Vassals: "As for the various commanders and vassals, although I can immediately impart the full set of cultivation methods and transformation secret arts to them, their foundations are too shallow, their bloodlines are thin, and their spiritual intelligence has only just begun to open. In a short period of time, they cannot condense a human form at all."

"Wanting to cultivate a stable human form requires years of hard cultivation of the method, nourishing the bloodline, and purifying the origin, progressing step by step before transformation can occur. It cannot be rushed."

"However, right now, I can first impart to them the art of refining the transverse bone in the mouth."

Yuan Zhan's gaze was resolute as he spoke clearly and methodically, "The threshold for this art is extremely low. It requires neither high-purity bloodlines nor tyrannical combat strength. As long as it is successfully cultivated, one can break the shackles of the beast body and directly speak human words. From then on, they will no longer only roar and howl, but will be able to clearly communicate, understand instructions, and converse with each other. Their spiritual intelligence operations will also become increasingly clear and transparent, which will be of great benefit to subsequent cultivation and coordination."

Hearing this, Lin Ye's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement without hesitation, "Yes, impart it directly."

Being able to speak and having their spiritual intelligence advance meant that whether it was daily cooperation, battle skill coordination, or subsequent specialized cultivation, it would become infinitely more convenient. It was definitely a hundred benefits without a single harm.

However, to be cautious, Lin Ye still asked the key concern in his heart to dispel all potential hidden dangers.

"Right, most of the high-tier cultivation methods I have encountered before had strict thresholds, and many of them required attributes like physique, strength, and spirit to reach one hundred before one could start cultivating them. Does this set of ancient beast inheritance cultivation methods of yours also have attribute thresholds?"

After all, the strength of the vassals under his command varied greatly, and most ordinary vassals had relatively low attributes. If the cultivation threshold caught them, it still wouldn't be universally popularized for all members.

Hearing this, Yuan Zhan gently shook his head, his tone incomparably resolute, completely dispelling Lin Ye's concerns, "Master, rest assured. The bloodline inheritance cultivation method left behind by the will of Shenzhou is completely different from the cultivation methods of this realm; there is no cultivation threshold whatsoever."

"Even newly born cubs that have just come into the world and possess not the slightest foundation can directly start practicing it, without any issues of meridian discomfort, origin conflict, or incompatibility."

"This set of cultivation methods is itself the top-tier ancient foundation-building path, specially designed to purify primitive bloodlines, open up ignorant spiritual intelligence, consolidate the ferocious beasts' origin foundations, and adapt to all ferocious beasts in the divine kingdom."

"Later on, when their respective bloodline reversion progress reaches fifty percent and triggers the bloodline mechanism pre-embedded in the divine kingdom, they will autonomously awaken their own race's exclusive ancient inheritance, innate divine powers, and top-tier secret arts, completing a true racial transformation."
