"I dare to ask senior, how did Four Sacred Beasts fall?"
Li Xiuchang felt that this must involve some high-level secrets, so he asked further.
Qing Cang paused and said, "I don't know the details. I have too many brothers and sisters to count, and I am not the one closest to my father. I have no chance to understand some things. All I know is that the four holy beasts all died in battle!"
Li Xiuchang originally speculated that the four holy beasts might have died from Immortal Tribulation. After all, the longer they lived, the stronger Immortal Tribulation was. The four holy beasts were all antiques that had existed since the birth of the world, so their death from Immortal Tribulation was not surprising.
Unexpectedly, he died in battle!
All four holy beasts were killed in battle, which was a bit unusual. What kind of enemy did they encounter?
Qing Cang doesn't know the specific reason, but Li Xiuchang doesn't believe it.
Dragon nature is inherently lustful, so it is normal for a green dragon to have countless heirs.
But this secret realm is hosted by Mind Clone of Qing Cang, which means that among the countless descendants of Qinglong, Qing Cang is also one of the best. Logically speaking, he should not be unable to figure out the cause of such a major event as Qinglong's fall.
However, considering that this is just Mind Clone of Qing Cang, and does not have all the memories of Qing Cang, it is likely that Qing Cang did not share the relevant memories with this Mind Clone.
Regarding the death of Four Sacred Beasts, Li Xiuchang couldn't ask any more questions, so he asked about another doubt in his mind.
"Four Sacred Beasts Lineage Why did you build this secret realm?"
Why invest and invest in building this Sacred Beast Secret Realm?
Why give out the extremely precious four Sacred Beast Blood Essence as a reward?
Qing Cang sighed, "It's all to cultivate more powerful Demon Race experts. The top experts of the human race are emerging in large numbers, but I, Demon Race, am gradually weakening... Of course, this It is also the instruction left by Four Sacred Beasts during his lifetime. Let us Four Sacred Beasts Lineage work together to cultivate a Demon Race who is stronger than our ancestors!"
Li Xiuchang keenly captured some key information.
"Demon Race is a strong man who surpasses his ancestors", does it mean to cultivate a strong man who surpasses Four Sacred Beasts?
According to Qing Cang, Four Sacred Beasts is still the ceiling of Demon Race's combat power. If you want to cultivate a strong person who surpasses Four Sacred Beasts, I am afraid that you can't do it by giving Sacred Beast Blood Essence a little bit of Sacred Beast Blood Essence in this secret realm.
And if Four Sacred Beasts Lineage did this to follow the instructions of his ancestors, why did Four Sacred Beasts leave such instructions? Qing Cang is still unexplainable.
This reminded Li Xiuchang of Buddhism, which went through many tests and took great pains to select those Buddhist Cultivators with potential for training.
But the ultimate goal is to use these potentially powerful Buddhist Cultivator to perfect Buddhism.
But I wonder what is the purpose of Four Sacred Beasts doing this?
Perfect the four Dao of Nature mastered by Four Sacred Beasts?
That is completely unnecessary. The four Dao of Natures controlled by Four Sacred Beasts are thriving, and Four Sacred Beasts is dead. No matter how they perfect the avenues, they will not be able to benefit from it.
Qing Cang said, "Outsiders think that we Four Sacred Beasts Lineage are extremely powerful and everlasting. The Four Sacred Beasts bloodline is extremely talented, so that our descendants have a starting point that other monsters can't match since they were born. But they don't know that this bloodline has made us successful, but it has also become our shackles."
Qing Cang When he said these words, it was really difficult for the monsters present to resonate. It felt more like he was in Versailles.
Wenwen, Jing Jing and Golden Falcon, they possess Divine Beast Bloodline, and of course they know how powerful Divine Beast Bloodline is.
And their Divine Beast Bloodline is so thin that it can be ignored compared to the direct line of Four Sacred Beasts Lineage.
In addition, both Divine Beast Bloodlines have high and low levels. The Four Sacred Beasts bloodline is at the top of the list among all Divine Beast Bloodlines.
Qing Cang looked at everyone's expressions and knew that they didn't believe it at all, and explained, "What outsiders don't know is that among all the mythical beasts Lineage, there is a unified problem, that is, one generation is inferior to the other.
"Divine Beast Bloodline, success comes from the bloodline, failure comes from the bloodline, most talents come from the bloodline, but it is inevitable that the bloodline becomes thinner from generation to generation. Whenever an heir is born, the bloodline will inevitably be diluted, unless there is intermarriage within the clan, but that will have terrible consequences. Many crazy descendants have been born as a result, bringing disaster to Lineage."
Li Xiuchang As modern people, we naturally know the disadvantages of incest marriage, and now it seems that even if Divine Beast Bloodline are not close relatives, intermarriage is still possible to give birth to defective offspring.
"For the descendants of our divine beast Lineage, blood concentration determines the starting point, but too much reliance on blood also causes blood concentration to lock our upper limit. Only a small number of descendants with natural talents can break the shackles, undergo atavism, and increase their own blood concentration."
"But there are only a few geniuses like that. Their appearance only slows down the decline of Lineage, but cannot change this general trend."
"Besides, let's take our Qinglong Lineage as an example. I have so many brothers and sisters that I can't even count them all. We are all very powerful without exception because we have half of the Qinglong bloodline!"
"But none of us can catch up with our father, because we only have half of the Blue Dragon bloodline! The gap between the other half of the bloodline cannot be made up by our lifelong efforts."
"So Four Sacred Beasts Lineage no one can catch up with the ancestors and become a new holy beast, let alone surpass Four Sacred Beasts!"
"Even Four Sacred Beasts himself is limited by his own bloodline. For example, my father was born with Wood Dao, but can no longer master other avenues. This allows him to have top strength without practicing, but no matter how hard he practices, he cannot gain any improvement."
"His strength depends entirely on the strength of Wood Dao... Therefore, we Four Sacred Beasts Lineage all understand that if one day a Demon Race strong person who surpasses Four Sacred Beasts is really born in this world, it will definitely not come from our four clans. So we established this secret realm to select Demon Race geniuses worth cultivating from foreign races."
At this point, Li Xiuchang became confused. "Wait, if that's the case, shouldn't your target be those monsters that don't have Divine Beast Bloodline? Why do you need Divine Beast Bloodline to enter the third level?"
Qing Cang smiled and said, "When the concentration of Divine Beast Bloodline is low to a certain level, the blessing of the bloodline is so small that it can be ignored. Since you do not enjoy the benefits brought by the bloodline, you will naturally not be shackles by the bloodline. This kind of Divine Beast Bloodline is no longer a real Divine Beast Bloodline. Usually, if the bloodline concentration is less than 10%, it will not be recognized by the major mythical beasts Lineage. And among you here, none of you have reached even half a percent of Divine Beast Bloodline in your body.
"Why not choose those monsters that don't have Divine Beast Bloodline? That's because monsters with too weak bloodline cannot withstand the transformation of Four Sacred Beasts's blood. An ordinary monster, after absorbing Azure Dragon Essence Blood, may directly become the bloodline of my Qinglong Lineage. That would be meaningless. It would be better to directly recruit a genius from our clan.
"But if it itself has a little thin Divine Beast Bloodline, it will not be assimilated by Essence Blood, so that it can successfully absorb Four Sacred Beasts's true blood and Essence Blood."
Li Xiuchang nodded and understood.
To put it bluntly, the screening of bloodlines in the third level is specifically to find those monsters with rare Divine Beast Bloodline.
If the blood concentration is too high, he will probably be eliminated.
But there is only a little thin Divine Beast Bloodline, like Wenwen and others, which is equivalent to a layer of "background" on the bloodline, and will not be easily assimilated by Four Sacred Beasts's Essence Blood.
Divine Beast Bloodline If the concentration is too high, it will be shackled by the blood.
Ordinary monsters will be assimilated into the blood of Four Sacred Beasts, become a member of Four Sacred Beasts Lineage, and will also be shackled by Divine Beast Bloodline.
Only if they are stable and have a little Divine Beast Bloodline, but the blood concentration is very low, it is just right.
Qing Cang continued, "And the selection conditions for our third level, Divine Beast Bloodline, have never been a hard requirement. Among you, doesn't it and he not have Divine Beast Bloodline? What we look at is the strength of your bloodline. As long as your bloodline is strong enough to resist the assimilation of four Sacred Beast Blood Essence, you can be let in..."
Qing Cang's eyes swept over Jin Jiao and Li Xiuchang.
But when he took a closer look at Li Xiuchang, he suddenly froze...
Li Xiuchang didn't notice it. At this time, he finally understood why he and Jin Jiao could come in and accept the test without Divine Beast Bloodline.
Because their bloodline is too strong!
Qing Cang finally exclaimed, "You, you are not a monster! You are human!"
He had always thought that Li Xiuchang was just a monster in the form of a monster, but now after taking a closer look, he discovered that Li Xiuchang was indeed a human monk.
He was stupid. He didn't dare to think about this before, because the screening before the third level of this secret realm made it impossible to let humans in.
Li Xiuchang scratched his head. "Actually, I am a monster that looks exactly like a human, named Terrifying Upright Ape."
Golden Falcon immediately echoed, "Yes, I have seen his true form. It is a Golden Fur Ape, the Water Ape King who once suppressed the bloodline of the divine beast Zhu Yan!"
It talks about the image of Li Xiuchang transformed into Mind Monkey Dharma Form.
Qing Cang stared and wanted to say that he had never heard of such a monster, but when he thought that he was just Thought Incarnation, there were so many things he didn't know, so he swallowed his words.
He shook his head. "Forget it, I'm just Thought Incarnation, responsible for explaining the rules to you and starting the third test. Since the secret realm has let you in, it means that it recognizes you.
"Next, you will place your respective Blood Pill on the stone platform and prepare to accept the test!"
Li Xiuchang took a step forward, found a stone platform at random, and placed the blood pills in his hands on the stone platform. Wenwen and others also followed suit.
Li Xiuchang asked, "Senior Qing Cang, after passing this test, can the reward Azure Dragon Blood be given directly to us?"
According to Qing Cang, the rewarded Azure Dragon Blood will be directly integrated into Blood Pill.
After passing four rounds of tests, Blood Pill can be swallowed, thereby obtaining the baptism of Sacred Beast Blood.
It's just that Li Xiuchang wants to get Sacred Beast Blood directly, which is more convenient for him to add points to Sacred Beast Blood.
If he merges into Blood Pill, he can only add points to Blood Pill.
Originally, the difference was not that big, but Blood Pill could only be swallowed, and Li Xiuchang could only be taken by one person.
Because his Blood Pill is made of his own blood and cannot be absorbed by others.
He can directly get Sacred Beast Blood and use it as he pleases.
Qing Cang shook his head and said, "Sacred Beast Blood is not so easy to absorb. Only by using the power in the secret realm to fuse Sacred Beast Blood with your Blood Pill can you absorb it smoothly. If you get Sacred Beast Blood alone, you will not be able to absorb it yourself.
"In addition, this rule also prevents you from transferring your rewards to others. We Four Sacred Beasts Lineage built this secret realm to cultivate Demon Race, not to help you get rich."
Li Xiuchang is helpless, the rules are like this and there is nothing he can do.
However, he is still confident about obtaining the mythical beast Essence Blood.
Jinjiao and Wenwen are both on his side, and Golden Falcon and Jing Jing are the two weakest. No matter how you look at it, Essence Blood will most likely fall to Li Xiuchang's side.
However, if Golden Horn and Wenwen get the divine beast Essence Blood, they will not be able to transfer it to Li Xiuchang, and will only be integrated into their Blood Pill.
Li Xiuchang can only go all out, at least he must get one or two drops of Sacred Beast Blood Essence.
For him, Sacred Beast Blood Essence is too important and the price/performance ratio is too high!
With just a little, he can make infinitely more.
Qing Cang said, "My father didn't know many things in his life. What he was best at was Wood Dao, followed by some skills related to Wood Dao. For example, he had quite a lot of experience in planting Spirit Plant.
"This third test was originally intended to test your understanding of Wood Dao, but then we figured out that we might as well change the method and test you Wood Dao by planting Spirit Plant."
Wenwen and Jinjiao glanced at Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang himself was stunned, and thought to himself, just give Azure Dragon Essence Blood to me!
He is a genius that Spirit Plant even Senior Brother Mo feels inferior to!
In fact, any skill involves more than one Dao of Nature.
Take Spirit Plant Cultivation Arts as an example. The most important thing is Wood Dao, which is correct, but in fact it also involves some content of the Avenue of Life, Earth Dao, Water Dao, etc.
Whether it is a human monk or a monster, besides majoring in the avenue, he will have some understanding of other Dao of Nature.
But as Qing Cang said just now, Qinglong was born to be able to only master Wood Dao, and could not understand anything about other avenues.
Therefore, Li Xiuchang is also very curious, what is the Spirit Plant Cultivation Arts that Wood Dao understands like?
"Next, you will enter the illusion, watch the process of my father planting Dragon Blood Tree, and understand Wood Dao from it. Whoever can understand the most will get the Azure Dragon Essence Blood reward. If you get nothing, you will not even get the true blood reward."
Obviously, there won't be any "consolation prize" for entering this secret realm. If you're too lazy, you might get nothing at all.
This cheered up both Golden Falcon and Jing Jing.
They didn't have the confidence to compete with Li Xiuchang for the Essence Blood reward, and their goal was the holy beast's true blood.
If you don't work hard, you may not even get the true blood!
Qing Cang added, "Whoever can successfully plant Dragon Blood Tree in the illusion will get an additional Dragon Blood Tree Seed as a reward! This is the sacred tree of my Qinglong clan. It has endless magical uses and the seeds will never leak out."
