After discovering Liang Lu's particular favoritism toward "Form-Spirit Blending," Ronan had formed a similar suspicion.
He had already considered the hierarchy of Great Monarch and Dominator Bloodlines, and now it happened to match up.
The Martial Emperor replied, "My understanding of the 'Calamity Era' basically comes from Liang Lu, so I worry that I may have been misled. It would be best if you could confirm it... The descendants of Zhan He taking the 'Spirit Roaming' path are truly remarkable."
"Leaving Liang Lu aside for now, have you considered why Li Wei could use this Netherworld Highness as a reference for his experiments?"
Right. It could not be that he was closer to the target than Liang Lu was.
Ronan hesitated, but still offered a tentative suggestion. "Perhaps genetic information was extracted from the bloodline of Netherworld Highness's descendants. Or perhaps someone collected it back then and brought it here."
Li Wei was most likely backed by Chang Yi Zhen, the former governor of the Han Guang Autonomous Region and a legitimate descendant of the Demon Purging Grand Monarch. It was perfectly reasonable for him to possess such things.
The Martial Emperor's response arrived quickly. "If you are approaching this from the perspectives of genetics and heredity, that only proves that you lack even the most basic understanding of the 'Spirit Roaming' path."
"Whether Mary or Raven, there are ready-made examples right before your eyes. Have you truly never studied them seriously?"
Was I supposed to know?
Not knowing meant not knowing. Ronan honestly sent another "?".
The Martial Emperor's text revealed neither pleasure nor anger, but even a fool could see that it contained something valuable:
"Once one enters the 'Spirit Roaming' path, because it is a cultivation of the pure Self, one walks an ultimate road of solitude.
