Human Race Bloodline

Such a method is friendly to powerful races, but for the weak, it is quite distressing, effectively severing any possibility of their rise.

Without a doubt, the Human Race is a weak race—weak to the point of extremity. Yet, when faced with the Blood Refining Ancestral Return Method, the Human Race felt not distress, but rather, found it quite friendly.

Indeed, the Human Race is the exception among the weak, perfectly suited for practicing the Blood Refining Ancestral Return Method.

First, one must clarify a point: the Human Race is weak only in strength, not in bloodline.

The source of the Human Race's bloodline is none other than the Holy Mother, Lady Nuwa, the first Saint after the Dao Ancestor.

Inheriting her bloodline, it can be said that aside from the Wu Clan, who carry the blood of Pangu, no other race can surpass the Human Race in terms of bloodline.

In the vast Primordial World, besides the Human Race, what other race flows with the blood of a Saint?

With such a prestigious origin, it is no exaggeration to say that in the Primordial World, apart from the Wu Clan, the Human Race is the most suitable for practicing the Blood Refining Ancestral Return Method.

It is a pity, however, that the Blood Refining Ancestral Return Method is about to be phased out.

Once the Three Pure Ones attain sainthood, the Qi Refining Method they create will flourish throughout the world, completely replacing the Blood Refining Ancestral Return Method to become the new mainstream.

The drawbacks of the Ancestral Return Method are simply too great, as it prizes bloodline above all else. Unlike the Qi Refining Method, which ignores bloodline and relies entirely on comprehension and perseverance.

As long as one possesses either great wisdom or great perseverance, even those born with mortal blood can become powerhouses.

Bloodline is innate, but wisdom and perseverance are not; they can be improved post-natally. On this point alone, the Qi Refining Method far surpasses the Blood Refining Method.

One can only say that the replacement of the Blood Refining Method by the Qi Refining Method is an inevitability of the era.

Fortunately, even for the Qi Refining Method, the Human Race remains the most suitable for practice. Or, to put it more bluntly, Saint Taiqing created the Qi Refining Method precisely by observing the Human Race.

Whether it is the current Blood Refining Method or the future Qi Refining Method, the Human Race is the most suitable for practice, and the significance of this is self-evident.

The future rise of the Human Race is inevitable, regardless of who supports them. This is the choice of the era; with or without support, the Human Race will rise, though it may take a little longer.

The prerequisite for practicing the Blood Refining Ancestral Return Method is the awakening of the Pre-Heaven bloodline. This is not difficult for cultivators at the Pre-Heaven Realm, as their Pre-Heaven bloodlines have been in an awakened state since birth.

Conversely, for Post-Heaven Realm cultivators like Jiang Yuan, the Pre-Heaven bloodline within them lies dormant, requiring a breakthrough to the Pre-Heaven Realm to awaken it.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan was in the midst of breaking through to the Pre-Heaven Realm.

Through the Jade Plate of Creation, he had summarized a Breathing Method from the Kun Fish, filling the void of having no cultivation method at the Post-Heaven Realm.

Relying on this method, he began to plunder the origin of the Kun Fish, completing the accumulation from the Post-Heaven Realm to the Pre-Heaven Realm in a very short time.

Boom!

As the breakthrough began, Jiang Yuan could clearly feel several powerful forces reviving within his body.

These were the Pre-Heaven bloodlines dormant within him, originating from his ancestors who had attained the status of Heavenly Immortals.

Merely attaining the status of a Heavenly Immortal was enough to imbue one's bloodline with powerful strength and pass it down to future generations.

The Human Race is weak, but there are still quite a few Heavenly Immortals; as long as the first nine generations of the Human Race did not die and managed to live until now, they had basically all attained the status of Heavenly Immortals.

In particular, those few Human Ancestors had even stepped into the realm of Primordial Unity Golden Immortals. What the Human Race lacks are powerhouses at the level of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.

"Why are they all ordinary Heavenly Immortal bloodlines?"

"The Holy Mother bloodline, the Ancestral Dragon bloodline, the Creation bloodline, the Starlight bloodline—why can I not sense these powerful Pre-Heaven bloodlines?"

Upon sensing the origins of the bloodlines within him, Jiang Yuan could not help but frown. Reality differed greatly from what he had imagined.

In his mind, once he broke through, he should have awakened the Holy Mother bloodline, then advanced triumphantly, sweeping away all enemies to attain sainthood.

But in reality, let alone the Holy Mother bloodline, he could not even sense the lesser ones. In his perception, only ordinary Heavenly Immortal bloodlines lay dormant within his body.

This was reasonable. Jiang Yuan was of the thirty-sixth generation of the Human Race; by his generation, even the Innate God and Devil bloodline of the Human Ancestors had thinned, let alone the even stronger Holy Mother bloodline.

The normal process should be for him to first awaken the Heavenly Immortal bloodline, step by step returning to the ancestor to become a Heavenly Immortal. Then, undergo a second awakening to revive the Human Ancestor bloodline.

Only after returning to the Human Ancestor bloodline could he undergo a third awakening to revive the Holy Mother bloodline.

Everyone else followed this process, progressing gradually. For someone like Jiang Yuan to want to bypass the first two steps and directly awaken the Holy Mother bloodline—the difficulty was no less than ascending to heaven in a single step; how could it possibly succeed?

"After all this trouble, if my starting point is the same as everyone else's, haven't I wasted my efforts?"

"Jade Plate of Creation, give me a boost!"

Jiang Yuan was quite dissatisfied with this result, so he continued to urge the Creation Jade Disk.

He refused to believe that with his heaven-defying wisdom, supplemented by the help of the Creation Jade Disk and the blessing of the Kun Fish's origin, he could not create a miracle.

Hum, hum, hum...

The Creation Jade Disk vibrated more violently, and a massive suction force emanated from it, actually swallowing the Kun Fish's origin directly through Jiang Yuan.

In an instant, the power of the Creation Jade Disk surged, and the mysterious aura it released became even richer. In Jiang Yuan's perception, it was as if the heavens and earth had opened their arms to him, letting him roam and absorb all kinds of mysteries.

At the same time, outside, the Kun Fish let out a shrill cry, twisting its body frantically, wanting to spit out the Jiang Yuan inside its belly.

Whatever Jiang Yuan's cultivation level was, no matter how desperately he sucked, it was merely a drop in the ocean to the Kun Fish, having no effect at all.

But the Creation Jade Disk was different; a single gentle suction from it threatened more than half of the Kun Fish's life. How could this be tolerated?

The Kun Fish might lack intelligence, but it was not incapable of feeling pain. Sensing danger, it naturally had to react, trying every possible way to expel the harmful object from its body.

However, Jiang Yuan had already taken root inside its body; it wasn't as simple as just spitting him out whenever it pleased.

In truth, if the Kun Fish possessed any intelligence, it would have had no shortage of ways to deal with Jiang Yuan.

Unfortunately, it was a Fierce Beast devoid of sentience, acting entirely on instinct, which left it utterly helpless against Jiang Yuan in its belly.

With the help of the Creation Jade Disk, Jiang Yuan gradually found inspiration. He suddenly withdrew the divine light protecting his body, allowing the Kun Fish's gastric juices to corrode him.

The Kun Fish's gastric juices were incredibly potent, capable of dissolving even a Heavenly Immortal. As a cultivator in the Post-Heaven Realm, Jiang Yuan could not have lasted even a single breath without the protection of his divine light.

In the blink of an eye, his flesh and blood were dissolved, leaving behind only a skeleton. The next instant, even his remaining bones were on the verge of being melted away.

It was at this moment that a sudden change occurred. Wisps of the Kun Fish's origin essence surged forth, enveloping Jiang Yuan's skeleton and rapidly regenerating his dissolved flesh.

Corroded by gastric juices and repaired by origin essence, Jiang Yuan's physical body grew stronger and stronger amidst this constant cycle of destruction and rebirth. At the same time, the potential hidden within him was being unlocked bit by bit.

At a certain moment, with a loud boom, it felt as if some kind of shackle had been shattered. Jiang Yuan suddenly felt waves of new power surging from within his body.

It was his Primordial Bloodline, far more powerful and hidden deep within his body, finally awakening.
