320: Meditation Scroll
"Resonance?"
"That is absolutely impossible!"
Boundless's voice carried unprecedented shock and certainty.
"Unless..."
"The Bloodline of an Ancient Deities flows within her!"
As the words fell, Chief Archmage John and the several Archmages behind him all trembled violently, their faces filled with disbelief.
Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly.
He glanced at the phantom beside him with interest and asked, "Do Ancient Deitiess also bother having children?"
This slightly teasing remark caused an unnatural ripple in Boundless's phantom form.
He explained awkwardly, "Ahem... Reporting to Master, Ancient Deitiess are also categorized into different ranks, and not all Deities are ascetic, severing all emotional desires."
"There are always some... well, more unrestrained Deities who combine with Mortals and leave behind their Bloodline."
"These descendants possessing the Deity Bloodline are known as 'Demigods'."
Li Heng rubbed his chin and commented.
"Quite perverse."
John and the others standing before him didn't even dare to breathe heavily upon hearing this comment, each one focusing internally, wishing they could lower their presence to the absolute minimum.
What had they just heard?
Deity Bloodline?
Demigods?
Every one of these terms exploded like a thunderclap in their minds.
Boundless ignored Li Heng's critique and continued his respectful explanation.
"The Demigod Bloodline is naturally close to the Great Dao; whether in cultivation or comprehending the Laws of Heaven and Earth, they far surpass ordinary people."
"During the Primeval Era, there were also sages with Demigod Bloodline who led the Human Race through a brief period of glory."
Li Heng's gaze narrowed slightly.
He recalled the secret mentioned by Shuten Dōji in the demon suppressing pagoda regarding the Human Race's weak Bloodline and the locked path of cultivation.
Now it seemed the truth was far more complex than imagined.
However, Li Heng was never one to dwell on minor details.
He immediately grasped the main point and asked, "Do you mean that as long as we properly nurture this young girl, her internal Bloodline can be purified, or even fully awakened?"
Boundless's tone was full of affirmation.
"Yes, Master! With careful guidance, in due time, the Deity Bloodline within her will certainly gradually awaken!"
"At that time, not only can the power contained within the 'philosophers stone' be activated, but it can also help you glimpse the true cultivation methods of the Human Race during the Primeval Era, which would greatly benefit your investigation into the secrets of the Primeval Era!"
Li Heng nodded.
"That sounds like a good Opportunity."
Coincidentally, he also wanted to see whether the Human Race's Cultivation Technique from the Primeval Era was stronger or weaker than the immortal cultivation system he had created.
John and the others nearby listened to every word of Li Heng and Boundless's conversation.
Their hearts first convulsed wildly due to this astonishing secret, and then they were immediately overwhelmed by an unprecedented surge of ecstasy!
Deity Bloodline!
Their Frieren actually possessed the legendary Deity Bloodline!
And the Dean of Kunlun Academy seemed intent on cultivating her!
What an incredible Opportunity!
This was the only hope for the rise of the European magic world!
"Thump!"
Chief Archmage John could no longer control his excitement; his knees gave way, and he immediately knelt on the ground.
Seeing this, the several Archmages, usually so high and mighty, followed suit without hesitation, quickly kneeling down en masse.
John's voice trembled violently from extreme excitement. He looked up at Li Heng with a gaze bordering on pleading.
"Dean Li! I beg you! Please take Frieren in!"
"Our European Magicians Association is willing to let Frieren stay at Kunlun Academy as an exchange student to study!"
"We... we are willing to donate a scholarship fund to Kunlun Academy every year! Do you think... ten billion Dragon currency is enough? We can add more if it's not!"
Li Heng's expression remained unchanged; he simply spoke indifferently.
"Stand up."
"Kunlun Academy only teaches immortal cultivation; nothing else is discussed."
The hearts of John and the others instantly sank to rock bottom.
However, Li Heng's next sentence immediately lifted them from Hell to heaven.
"However, seeing as you brought the 'philosophers stone,' I can help you with a 'small favor'."
Li Heng's gaze swept over everyone, his tone calm yet carrying unquestionable authority.
"What you in Europe call magic is merely a rudimentary method of borrowing elemental power from heaven and earth; it lacks roots and proper methodology, and its potential is too low."
"I can help you improve your method of cultivation."
Improve... the method of cultivation?
John and the others felt their minds buzz, as if struck by a massive hammer, completely losing the ability to think.
This Dean of Kunlun Academy actually intended to help them improve a magic system that had been their Legacy for thousands of years?
What audacity!
And what confidence!
After a brief moment of stupefaction, John's body began to tremble violently from ecstasy.
He practically scrambled to his feet, carefully taking an ancient parchment scroll from his robes, and raising it high above his head with both hands.
"Dean Li! This is the supreme meditation method, 'Astar's Sea of Meditation,' which has been the Legacy of our association for three thousand years! Please take a look!"
Li Heng beckoned casually.
The parchment scroll, exuding an ancient aura, automatically flew into his palm.
His Divine Soul power, like an invisible tide, instantly permeated it.
The obscure ancient text and diagrams recorded on the scroll were nothing more than simple energy circulation routes in his eyes.
However, after his Divine Soul swept through the entire method, his movement paused slightly.
A strange expression appeared on Li Heng's face.
He muttered softly.
"So that's how it is."
