Human Clan Defender

Chapter 879 - 37-38: Human Clan Bloodline (Double - s)

And this.

Is merely a year’s worth.

In a century, it would be a thousand Divine Crystals.

Within the Candle Sect, there are many direct disciples, totaling more than a thousand. Over a hundred years, the expenditure on Divine Crystals alone would consume over a million.

In addition to elixirs and various resources, their value might not necessarily be lower than ten Divine Crystals.

Thus.

One can understand the Candle Sect’s immense wealth.

"Speaking of which, the Qingfeng Clan is loyal to me, and in the next tributes every century, I can claim about half. With only about ten years left, it will soon be time for the Qingfeng Clan’s next tribute.

However, the Qingfeng Clan is ultimately a small clan, and without a God Realm overseer, the tribute they can offer might not be significant.

But even the smallest amount of gain is still something, and it’s beneficial to acquire it."

Shen Changqing remembered the tribute from the Qingfeng Clan, after all, he had a share in it.

Just that.

He didn’t place too much importance on that tribute.

After all, it’s just a small clan. Even if they have resources, it can’t be that much.

He shook his head.

Shen Changqing released his Divine Sense, gathering all the Divine Crystals into his Sea of Consciousness, and then used Divine Fire to refine them.

Ten Divine Crystals.

To him now, they were not of great use.

The blue of the Divine Fire slightly intensified, then stabilized there.

Originally only at the fourth-level middle stage of the God Realm, he now advanced slightly beyond that, but progress was modest, with a certain distance still to the fourth-level post-stage of the Divine Soul.

Next.

He swallowed the body-strengthening elixir.

With the refinement of the elixir, the surging power caused his energy and blood to boil.

Immediately.

Shen Changqing focused his heart and began to control that power, opening new secret reserves.

Rumble!!

Like a torrent, his energy and blood surged through his flesh, with a sound as resonant as thunder echoing within the great hall.

Quickly.

One secret reserve was opened under the impact of energy and blood.

Then came the second, the third—

Much later.

The elixir’s power was completely exhausted, and the reward was six more secret reserves being opened inside his flesh.

At this point.

The number of secret reserves reached thirty-four thousand and seventeen.

Feeling the changes within himself, a sharp gleam shot from Shen Changqing’s eyes.

"The elixirs of Candle Sect contain robust power. A year’s worth of resources actually allowed me to directly open six secret reserves, whereas previously, even with such immense Spiritual Energy and a year’s seclusion, I only managed to open ten reserves.

In this way, with annual resource support, my progress in opening secret reserves will be accelerated significantly."

In the short term, this acceleration might seem insignificant.

But over a century or millennium, it would be quite remarkable.

However.

To rely on the Candle Sect’s resources for a century or millennium is obviously unrealistic.

Subsequently.

Shen Changqing shifted his gaze to the last item for enhancing bloodline.

It was a liquid concocted by the Candle Sect, intended mainly for bloodline purification. Although each direct disciple’s bloodline is already quite pure, further purification is still necessary.

In contrast, ordinary disciples, with their mixed bloodlines, have no need for purification.

Logically speaking.

This should have no effect on him.

But.

For some reason.

Shen Changqing’s mind drifted to other matters.

"The Zhongshan Clan once had top-tier powerhouses, so other descendants of the clan have the chance of receiving the blessings of these powerhouses, thereby inheriting their power in their bloodline.

So what about us, the Human Clan? Judging by the situation of the Myriad Clans in the Heavens, can our Human Clan also purify our bloodlines?

If possible, could we inherit the power of the Human Clan’s ancient powerhouses?"

Did the Human Clan once have powerhouses?

This point.

He had no doubt.

If the Human Clan never had powerhouses, what right would they have to be opposed by the Myriad Clans in the Heavens?

Therefore.

Shen Changqing was certain that the Human Clan had indeed produced powerhouses, and they were definitely not ordinary ones.

It was just unclear how long ago the Human Clan’s powerhouses existed and whether this bloodline power had been completely sealed away.

At least.

Among the Human Clan, there was no talk of anyone having a powerful bloodline passed down.

Regarding this.

Shen Changqing couldn’t help but wonder if the Human Clan’s bloodline had already lost its efficacy.

"If the ancient powerhouses of the Human Clan are too far back, then during the time of the Human Clan Realm, the Ancient Times also saw the emergence of God Realm powerhouses. If such a bloodline could awaken in later generations, it would still be quite potent.

But in all my time with the Demon-Subduing Division, I have never heard of such occurrences.

Whether the awakened bloodline’s impact is too weak to make a difference, or there are other reasons, is still up for debate."

From Zhongshan Chou’s memories, he understood.

The inheritance of bloodlines isn’t limited to direct descendants alone.

As long as they belong to the same race, later generations have the potential to inherit and awaken the power of the bloodline.

When one person attains enlightenment, even their surroundings benefit, roughly encapsulating this idea.

In any given clan.

Whenever top-tier powerhouses appear, the entire clan benefits.

Yet from what he knew, such was not the case for the Human Clan.

Faced with this.

Shen Changqing couldn’t help but harbor some doubt.

This situation.

Could likely indicate that the power of the Human Clan’s strongmen cannot be passed down through bloodlines.

If it can’t be inherited, then substances for bloodline purification truly become pointless.

With this realization.

He picked up the jade bottle containing the liquid and twisted it open.
