Chapter 3570 An Unprecedented Cultivation Craze

Temper your bloodline!

The higher one's cultivation level, the faster one will progress.

Yang Daoxu was the first to emerge from the blood pool.

Although he was not the first Immortal Emperor to attain enlightenment in the Xuantian Dao Sect, his strength was actually three points greater than that of Qingmu and even Qingxu.

After all.

In reality, Aoki and Seikyu's aptitudes were only average.

If they hadn't been lucky enough to take that step, the two of them would probably be long gone by now.

In contrast.

Yang Daoxu had been in the Ancient Immortal Realm for hundreds of millions of years, and before he truly began to decay, he had already broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

The difference between breaking through hundreds of millions of years earlier and breaking through hundreds of millions of years later lies in the difference in aptitude.

and so.

After breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, Yang Daoxu's cultivation level also surpassed that of others.

To this day, none of the Celestial Emperors have created a second Five Immortal Universe.

but.

Yang Daoxu progressed further than others in the initial stage of Immortal Emperor.

at this point.

It might not have been so obvious in the past.

But by tempering his own bloodline, he can see some clues.

"The power of acquired bloodline is indeed incomparable to that of the Immortal Emperor's bloodline; the power of such bloodline is stronger than I imagined!"

Yang Daoxu looked inward and saw that the power of his acquired bloodline still played a role even though he had now broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Having refined his acquired bloodline, his cultivation level did not break through, but his strength had already improved.

Although the increase wasn't particularly large, at the Immortal Emperor level, improving one's strength was no easy feat.

Every improvement is actually the result of millions of years of accumulation.

Subsequently.

Yang Daoxu looked towards the blood pool, a burning desire stirring within him, but he quickly suppressed it.

The Blood Pool possesses astonishing power; if I could refine it all at once, it would surely greatly increase my strength.

but--

This is just wishful thinking.

Yang Daoxu was well aware of the importance of such blood pools.

If one person were to refine all of them, then at most the Xuan Tian Dao Sect would only produce one powerful cultivator in a short period of time.

However, if the bloodline is distributed to cultivate acquired bloodlines, over time the Xuan Tian Dao Sect may produce a group of Immortal Emperors.

The pros and cons.

It's easy to understand at a glance.

Even without Shen Changqing's prior warning, Yang Daoxu would not have done something so selfish and harmful to others.

While Yang Daoxu was silently familiarizing himself with his own power, Qingmu, Qingxu, Mingxi, Gu Mingfeng, and other cultivators who had broken through to the Immortal Emperor realm gradually regained consciousness.

When the group saw Yang Daoxu outside the blood pool, they were all stunned for a moment before recovering.

"I didn't expect you, junior nephew, to be one step ahead of us!"

Aoki was speechless.

Yang Daoxu shook his head and smiled faintly: "I wasn't much faster, it was just a matter of being one after the other."

That's what they said, but Aoki and the others all knew that even a quarter of an hour could represent a difference in strength.

Moreover, whether Yang Daoxu had only been out for a short time or had been out for some time, no one knew.

this kind of thing.

Naturally, no one pointed it out.

At least.

Both sides saved face.

After that, none of them said anything more. Instead, they sat cross-legged in the forbidden area, silently familiarizing themselves with the acquired bloodlines they had cultivated.

Within one month.

The remaining people gradually emerged from the blood pool.

Compared to Minghe and others, who took several months, Yang Daoxu and his group were undoubtedly much faster.

After all, the cultivation level of the Nine Peak Masters is at least at the peak of the Ancient Immortal realm.

Such profound knowledge and experience are naturally beyond the reach of Minghe and others.

therefore.

There is a time difference in the process of refining the power of the blood pool and tempering one's own bloodline.

"You have all refined your acquired bloodlines, and your strength and aptitude have improved even further. I would like to offer my congratulations!"

Shen Changqing smiled calmly.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed deep gratitude.

"You're too polite, Sect Master!"

"We must thank the sect for this opportunity!"

Everyone understood that if Shen Changqing hadn't used the Xuan Turtle's essence blood, no one would have had such an opportunity.

Having cultivated an acquired bloodline, one's strength and aptitude have both improved significantly.

The changes brought about by these bloodlines are visible to everyone.

Whether one possesses acquired bloodline or not makes a significant difference.

Shen Changqing said, "One month from now, I intend to hold a sect competition, which will be divided into three levels: Ancient Immortal, Immortal King, and Great Power."

Those ranked in the top twenty of the three tiers can enter the Blood Pool to temper their acquired bloodlines!

Three levels!

A total of sixty spots are available!

In Shen Changqing's view, the blood pool could probably only support so many cultivators.

Even if some are left, it probably won't be much.

After all, there were already more than twenty people, including Minghe and others in front, and Yang Daoxu and others now.

Now, with another sixty people, that will be about right.

These things.

Shen Changqing could calculate everything clearly.

As for those below the level of a powerful being, they naturally do not have the qualification to enter the blood pool.

Even if a cultivator at this level obtains a spot in the Blood Pool, they would probably be crushed by the power of the Blood Pool before they even step into it.

In fact.

Even a powerful Immortal King would need the assistance of other strong individuals to resist the power of the Blood Pool.

However, giving all the spots to Gu Xian would undoubtedly be unfair to other cultivators who haven't been cultivating for very long.

and so.

Shen Changqing set the threshold at the level of a great power.

If even a great power doesn't exist, then naturally such an opportunity shouldn't be wasted.

After all, those below the level of a great master are merely outer disciples within the Xuan Tian Dao Sect.

The vast majority of sect opportunities are primarily through inner disciples or even true disciples.

This applies to any faction.

of course.

This news was bound to cause dissatisfaction among some outer disciples.

But Shen Changqing naturally didn't care about these things.

There is no such thing as absolute fairness in the world; the best we can do is try to be as fair as possible.

but--

Shen Changqing thought for a moment and then said, "There are no thresholds for cultivators below the Immortal King level. Any cultivator can participate. As long as they can rank in the top twenty, they can enter the Blood Pool."

This was done in order to discover some exceptionally talented individuals with formidable combat abilities.

Perhaps there are some people within the sect who have not reached the Great Power Realm, but are able to fight beyond their level because of their strong foundation.

Although this possibility is unlikely, it is still possible.

Hear the words.

The Supreme Elders, including Yang Daoxu, and the Nine Peak Masters all had no objections.

……

Soon.

This news then spread far and wide.

"The sect competition will be held in a month, divided into three levels: Great Power, Immortal King, and Ancient Immortal. The top twenty will receive the opportunity to obtain a bloodline after birth... Is this news true or false?"

"There's no mistake. I am a cultivator from Zhanfeng Peak. This news was personally delivered by my Zhanfeng Peak Master, so how could it be false!"

"hiss……"

"It's unfair! It's one thing for ancient immortals to compete against immortal kings, but what's the point of setting a threshold for powerful beings? Does anyone really think they can rival powerful beings with the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal?"

"Forget it, we should be grateful for even having an opportunity. Let's not be too greedy!"

As news of the sect competition spread, the entire Xuantian Dao Sect was in an uproar. The Xuantian Dao Mirror was constantly updating with new information, and all the discussions revolved around the topic of acquired bloodlines.

Who doesn't understand what acquired bloodline means these days?

If one can possess an acquired bloodline, one can rise to the top in one step and become a peerless genius of the era.

As soon as this news came out.

This naturally drew dissatisfaction from some outer disciples, but these voices of discontent were quickly drowned out.

Many disciples who were training outside rushed back to the sect as soon as possible, fearing that they would miss the opportunity if they were even a step too slow.

There are also outer disciples who are just one step away from breaking through to the Great Power Realm, and they are now putting in all their effort to break through.

Even if one were to enter the Great Power Realm, it would be difficult to break into the top twenty based on one's newly achieved cultivation level.

but--

What if?

Who can say for sure about such things?

If you don't fight for it, there will be no chance in your entire life, but as long as you fight for it, there will always be a sliver of a chance.

The possibility of a Taiyi Golden Immortal defeating a peak-level cultivator is extremely slim.

However, if one can reach the Great Power Realm, the difficulty of fighting beyond one's level at that time will be greatly reduced.

It can be said.

The news of the sect competition caused an unprecedented surge in cultivation enthusiasm throughout the entire Xuantian Dao Sect.

Even outside of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, cultivators from various forces in the Divine Heaven Domain were aware of this matter.

"The Xuan Tian Dao Sect actually possesses such means to elevate mortal bloodlines to the acquired level?"

"It's a pity I couldn't join the Xuan Tian Dao Sect, otherwise I would have had a share of this opportunity!"

Most cultivators were extremely envious of this opportunity; even an Immortal Emperor would find it tempting.

But being moved is one thing.

These are things we can only observe from afar.

If it were the original Xuantian Dao Sect, such news would have been met with a coordinated attack from other forces the moment it was released, resulting in the sect's destruction and annihilation.

This is an opportunity involving one's acquired bloodline, enough to drive most forces mad.

Anyone who can refine their acquired bloodline can step into the ranks of geniuses. As long as they focus on cultivation, breaking through to the level of a half-step Immortal Emperor in the future will be almost effortless.

Even the subsequent breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor realm will become much easier.

If an ordinary half-step Immortal Emperor has less than a 10% chance of breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, then someone with an acquired bloodline has at least a 60% chance of breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

This is the difference between having acquired bloodline or not.

and so.

If an ordinary force were to reveal such an opportunity, it would be a death sentence.

But for the Xuantian Dao Sect now, whether such an opportunity is revealed or not is of no concern.

Even if you gave the other forces in the Divine Heaven Domain ten times the courage, none of them would dare to make a move against the Profound Heaven Dao Sect.

Not to mention that Shen Changqing is in charge, the battle of the Heavenly Army Mansion a few years ago, in which he killed Duan Changsheng, a half-saint Xuan Turtle, was enough to make other forces back down.

Many cultivators now suspect that this kind of acquired bloodline opportunity may be related to that Xuan Turtle from back then.

After all, a primordial chaotic beast at the semi-saint level is a treasure trove from head to toe.

But these speculations are destined to remain unanswered. (End of Chapter)
