Human Clan Defender

Chapter 880 - 37-38: Human Clan Bloodline (Double-Length)

A strange scent wafted from the Jade Bottle, like a fragrance, yet not quite a fragrance.

Immediately.

Shen Changqing hesitated for only a moment, then consumed the mysterious liquid within the Jade Bottle.

As the liquid entered his stomach,

his flesh and blood seemed to be provoked by something, and began to boil intensely.

Suddenly,

a crisp sound like iron chains being pulled was heard, and he felt as if the scene before him had changed, as if he had entered some boundless void.

In the void,

numerous iron chains intersected and intertwined, as if stirred by a gentle breeze, gently vibrating and making faint sounds.

Before Shen Changqing could clearly see what was before him, the scene changed again, and he was already back in the main hall.

At this point,

he regained his senses, his face filled with uncontrollable shock.

"The iron chains just now, could they be the seal within the bloodline—just like the Chixiao Clan, the Human Clan’s bloodline was also sealed by strong ancestors?"

That scene,

was not the first time Shen Changqing had seen it.

The last time when releasing Tiankui’s bloodline seal, he had witnessed a similar scene.

Yet there was a difference.

The bloodline seal of the Chixiao Clan did not have so many iron chains.

Moreover, the chains there were easy to break.

However,

recalling the iron chains seen in the void just now, each one exuded an aura that made even him anxious.

Clearly,

such a level of existence was not something he could challenge at his current stage.

Now,

Shen Changqing was basically certain that there existed some seal within the Human Clan bloodline, but he could not determine how long this seal had existed or which level of strong ancestors set it.

"The fact that the Human Clan cannot awaken their bloodline and receive the gifts of past ancestors is most likely related to the seal within the bloodline.

The current issue is, who exactly were the strong ancestors that set up the bloodline seal.

If our Human Clan wants to break the seal in the bloodline, what kind of power is needed?"

The existence of the bloodline seal prevents the Human Clan descendants from receiving the gifts of their ancestors, reducing a significant advantage compared to the Heavens Myriad Clans.

In the short term, this issue may not be very apparent.

But as time goes on, the power of the Human Clan bloodline will weaken more and more, and strong ancestors will become increasingly rare.

It’s known,

the difficulty for ordinary bloodlines to rise and grow into top-tier strong ancestors is several times harder than for those with bloodline enhancements to step by step grow into the top tier.

Perhaps every so often, a strong ancestor might emerge from the Human Clan, but the numbers remain too few.

Compared to the Heavens Myriad Clans, the gap is widening with each passing moment.

However,

Shen Changqing also understood that with his current strength, he simply did not have the qualifications to break the seal.

Such a seal,

is not something the Cave Heaven Realm can shatter.

"If my Divine Realm Origin grows to the level of a Divine King or if I enter the next realm in Martial Dao, is there a possibility of breaking the Human Clan bloodline seal? If it could be broken, the Human Clan’s disadvantage compared to the Heavens Myriad Clans would be reduced by one.

Furthermore, if that’s the case, it would also prove that the strong ancestors who set the seal are not yet so formidable that they cannot be opposed entirely."

Shen Changqing pondered.

If the Divine King Realm can break the seal, that would be the best outcome.

Although currently, he is far from being comparable to a Divine King, at least there is hope; it’s just a matter of time.

——

After converting all the resources into his own strength.

In the span of a few days,

Shen Changqing remained in Qiu Peak, almost without any rest, refining Spiritual Energy, hoping to unlock more hidden potential.

Cultivation itself is a process that requires patience, focusing on perseverance and gradual progress.

In one or two days of practice, there may be no visible progress.

But a hundred or a thousand of such days, when accumulated, is entirely different.

Therefore,

he wouldn’t miss any opportunity to enhance his strength.

In these few days,

the Candle Sect was in constant turmoil.

The news of the war against the Dushan Clan had already spread thoroughly, and no one in the sect was unaware of it.

To prepare for the upcoming warfare, the Candle Sect even issued a summons to the strong ones who were traveling outside.

In just a few days,

all the strong ones who needed to be outside started returning en masse.

In no time,

the number of powerful beings within the Candle Sect increased significantly.

Even while remaining in Qiu Peak without leaving, Shen Changqing could still feel those powerful auras gradually increasing.

Anything he could feel to be powerful must surely belong to the Divine Realm.

"If just the Candle Sect alone has so many in the Divine Realm, then how many does the entire Zhongshan Clan have!"

Shen Changqing sighed to himself.

The Candle Sect does not represent the entire Zhongshan Clan; strictly speaking, it’s just a part of the Zhongshan Clan.

As for the Zhongshan Clan over there, he didn’t need to think to know; they must have gathered even more strong ancestors.

"I’ve heard that some strong ancestors who haven’t appeared in hundreds of years are now being summoned back to the sect; it seems the sect takes the battle against the Dushan Clan very seriously."

Nearby, Cui Fu, also feeling those auras that made his heart tremble, couldn’t help but sigh.

Hearing this,

Shen Changqing calmly said, "The Dushan Clan is, after all, a powerful clan; their apparent strength is not very different from our Zhongshan Clan. It’s normal for the sect to take it seriously.

This time in Qiu Peak, my appearance will suffice.

As for you all, just stay in Qiu Peak and cultivate peacefully."

Although the Candle Sect ordered each peak to have disciples present, having direct disciples take action is enough.

The remaining servant disciples, whether they make an appearance or not, are the same.
