271: Transcendence, Bloodline of the Eight Desolations

Xiao Fan frowned tightly, shook his head, and said, “I haven’t heard of it.”

“That’s right, you can’t access that yet.” Jiang Shenyi said in a deep voice, “The Eight Wilderness Bloodline is the essence blood of the Human Race’s eight Martial Emperors.”

“These eight Martial Emperors have all achieved extremely high levels in their Physical Body cultivation.”

“Some of them have already passed away, some followed the Hegemon out into the star sea, and some are still Cultivating on a small planet somewhere in the Galaxy.”

“Hundreds of years ago, a Genius among our Human Race’s high-ranking officials proposed that if other races have Bloodlines, why can’t our Human Race?”

“After much research, we discovered that the blood of some powerhouses who reached the Martial Emperor Realm had undergone earth-shattering changes, containing powerful strength.”

“So, Huang Xian hoped that some Martial Emperors could leave behind a little of their essence blood for him to research.”

“In the end, including the Hegemon, a total of eight Martial Emperors who primarily focused on the Physical Body left behind some of their essence blood. Only Physical Body Martial Emperors were willing; Martial Emperors who followed other Dao paths dared not take out their essence blood, as it would greatly damage their foundation.”

“Later, Huang Xian was unable to condense these eight portions of essence blood into a single Bloodline that could be Fused into another person’s body, even until his death.”

Xiao Fan’s eyebrows furrowed.

Jiang Shenyi suddenly smiled and said, “But his son did it.”

“His name is Huang Quan, and he is currently a hostage among the alien races.”

“It was also because this matter was exposed that the alien races specifically requested him, because they also have a modified warrior plan.”

“Didn’t you say that your Physical Body potential is lower than Helden’s?”

“Then now, we will forcibly elevate your Physical Body potential to a level Beyond Helden’s.”

Xiao Fan looked at Jiang Shenyi, his gaze gradually becoming blank.

Because he could hardly believe it.

The Eight Wilderness Bloodline, formed by the Fusion of eight portions of essence blood from Physical Body Martial Emperors…

This… one of them even came from the Hegemon! Just hearing about it makes you realize how terrifying this Bloodline is!

“Why… me?”

Jiang Shenyi calmly said, “Because you defeated Helden and brought back the Life Tree seed.”

“The Human Race will not mistreat anyone who has accomplished great feats.”

“It’s that simple.”

“Last night, all high-ranking officials of the Human Race held a remote meeting regarding the pidi crystal and the Eight Wilderness Bloodline.”

“It was unanimously approved.”

Xiao Fan’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

At this moment, Jiang Shenyi sighed, “You might not know.”

“A few months ago, everyone held another meeting for you.”

“In that meeting, very few people raised their hands for you.”

“But now, you have conquered everyone with your actions.”

“Alright, let’s get to the point.”

“The Eight Wilderness Bloodline is very powerful; you definitely cannot fully Fuse it now.”

“So, we have divided it into five parts.”

“Great Grandmaster, Martial Venerable, Martial Saint, Martial God, Martial Emperor.”

“Each time you reach the next Realm, you will Fuse a part.”

Xiao Fan nodded heavily, sighed, and said, “Then I still have to wait more than a month to become a Great Grandmaster.”

“No.” Jiang Shenyi shook his head and said, “Let me tell you something else.”

“If I told you that I have a way to quickly improve your Realm, but it would consume your lifespan, would you be willing?”

At this, Xiao Fan immediately became alert. The six words “quickly improve Realm” seemed to have hit him in his philtrum.

He said, “I have the Eternal Life Art.”

“The Eternal Life Art… is indeed good.” Jiang Shenyi shook his head and said, “However, the Eternal Life Art alone is not enough.”

“Let me put it this way: Chen Changsheng and a certain alien race jointly created a Martial Arts technique, which is a forbidden art.”

“The effect of this Martial Arts is very simple.”

“You can absorb more Source Fluid or essence blood every day, but you must consume it through special means.”

“It’s like the body’s metabolism.”

“Before, metabolism was basically fixed.”

“But now, if you absorb too much Source Fluid, you can digest it through other means, such as exercise, combat, and so on…”

“The more Source Fluid and essence blood you forcibly absorb, the faster your Realm improves, but correspondingly, the more lifespan you lose.”

Xiao Fan nodded slightly and said, “I understand.”

“So, are you willing to learn? And I must also remind you that your Divine Intent also burns lifespan!”

Xiao Fan’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed. He knew that lifespan was true vitality, just like the King of Hell’s Book of Life and Death states that your lifespan is eighty years, and if you forcibly consume ten years, you only have seventy years left.

This is different from being injured. No matter how serious the injury, as long as you can be saved, your lifespan is still eighty years.

Sometimes, the consumption of lifespan cannot even be perceived. It’s very possible that while fighting, your hair suddenly turns white, and you just… die.

But Xiao Fan was still quite tempted.

Because he was not interested in how long he lived.

Currently, a Martial Saint can live for about three hundred years, a Martial God for six hundred years, and a Martial Emperor for about one thousand years. With the addition of the Eternal Life Art, an extra few decades is not a problem.

However, the golden period of Cultivating is only fifty years!

After these fifty years, the Cultivating speed will plummet, and it will become slower and slower as one ages.

Therefore, Xiao Fan believed that this question did not need to be asked.

If the Great General were given a chance to start over, and given this Martial Arts, he would Cultivate it one hundred percent. Although there are a thousand years, only the first fifty years are interesting; after that, Cultivating is like driving a tractor.

During the golden period, if he could Cultivate faster, the Great General would definitely be stronger now.

Xiao Fan said seriously, “I want to Cultivate.”

“I don’t need to live that long.”

Jiang Shenyi chuckled, shaking his head and sighing, “Youth is good; you’re not even afraid of death.”

“I hope you don’t regret it when your lifespan is nearing its end.”

Suddenly, Xiao Fan asked, “Is there… a specific ratio for this?”

“For example, if I swallow a few more bottles of essence blood, how much more lifespan will I consume?”

Jiang Shenyi shook his head and said, “This Martial Arts only came into our hands a little over a week ago.”

“Meng Tianzong and the others have all learned it, but no one can specifically feel how much lifespan has been consumed.”

“Chen Changsheng said that if you drink five more bottles of essence blood a day, continuously for thirty years, it will probably consume about three hundred years of lifespan?”

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow and said, “So that means I’ll still have at least seven hundred years to live?”

“Are you that confident you can reach Martial Emperor?” Jiang Shenyi laughed.

“Of course.” Xiao Fan nodded seriously and said, “Then, Great General, are there other Realms above Martial Emperor?”

“Yes!” Jiang Shenyi nodded heavily and said, “The Hegemon sent back news many years ago, saying there are two more Realms above.”

“This matter is no longer a secret in our circle. However, as you know, from the Breakthrough to Martial Venerable onwards, special things are required. Breaking through to Realms above Martial Emperor naturally also requires special things, but the Galaxy does not have them.”

Xiao Fan nodded silently, then asked in confusion, “So that means they exist outside the Galaxy?”

“Then why didn’t the Hegemon bring them back?”

Jiang Shenyi stroked his beard and smiled, “These matters… I’ll tell you when you become a Martial Saint.”

“Alright.” Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow. He also knew that understanding some things too early was not always a good thing.

However, higher Realms would definitely mean a longer lifespan, so he was already pondering whether to drink six or seven bottles of Source Fluid a day.

That means… the Cultivating speed would directly increase by six or seven times?

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan smiled.

What is the concept of six or seven times? He would only need at most a week to Breakthrough to Great Grandmaster!
