"Why?"
Mingye didn't notice the unusual look in Chen Mu's eyes and continued to ask questions.
"You said before that the Human Clan bloodline is very particular about balance, but in the Netherworld, yin is dominant and yang is weak. Over time, this will damage their spiritual foundation, so it is extremely difficult for the Human Clan to cultivate in the Netherworld and their lifespan is short."
So I can understand why Human Clan would benefit from going to the Pan Emperor Continent, but for hybrids, the environment of the Pan Emperor Continent should be similar to the Netherworld, so why would they also benefit?
"You're right to think that way, but you're overlooking one thing: the exceptional talents bestowed upon them by the environment of the Netherworld."
Chen Mu paused for a moment, then continued to explain.
"You can compare it to the Human Clan on the Pan Emperor Continent; out of a hundred people, perhaps only one can become a martial artist."
In this world, both the Nether Clan and the Human Clan can become martial artists after birth with just a little training; this is the outstanding talent bestowed upon them by the Netherworld environment.
The reason why mixed-race people are weaker than the Nether Clan race in the Netherworld is that this world only has Yin-Attribute Spiritual Power, and they cannot make full use of the advantages of the Human Clan blood.
"If they went to the Pan Emperor Continent, with their physiques combining the advantages of the Human Clan and the Nether Clan, they would surely have even greater opportunities for development."
Chen Mu also has extensive research experience in the field of genetics, so based on the information he had just collected, he had a preliminary conclusion about the cultivation talent of mixed-race individuals.
"So, according to you, the Nether Clan Pan Emperor Continent, right?"
"That's different. The physique of the Nether Clan is only suitable for Yin-Attribute Spiritual Power, while Yin-Attribute Spiritual Power is relatively rare on the Pan Emperor Continent. Moreover, most Yin-Attribute Spiritual Power is sinister and vicious, and will be suppressed by some self-proclaimed 'righteous sects,' making it very difficult to make progress."
As for the mixed-blood Human Clan, they possess talents similar to those of the Nether Clan, and can also cultivate human techniques, making them undoubtedly uniquely favored on the Pan Emperor Continent.
"I see."
Mingye finally understood and nodded.
" Mingye, I want to ask you a question. When you were a child practicing human cultivation techniques, did you notice anything unusual?"
Chen Mu looked at Mingye, his expression turning serious.
"Me? My memories of my childhood are rather vague, it seems..."
At this point, Mingye realized the problem and his expression changed. "You suspect that I am also of mixed race?"
"It's not doubt; I'm basically certain."
Chen Mu nodded, deciding to tell Mingye his judgment.
"Actually, judging from your appearance alone, there's no way you can tell you Human Clan blood."
However, I have examined your internal meridians. I only knew before that your body was different from that of the Human Clan. I only just discovered that you are also very different from the Nether Clan, but quite similar to these hybrids.
Therefore, I deduce that one of your parents must be Human Clan, but your Nether Clan bloodline is stronger than your Human Clan bloodline, which is why your Human Clan characteristics are not obvious.
This news greatly shocked Mingye, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "No wonder I was able to grow up in the Human Clan form; it turns out I have Human Clan blood."
Mingye always pretended to be indifferent to his background.
But Chen Mu knew very well that no one would be indifferent to where they came from, and no one would like to drift aimlessly without roots.
Mingye had never mentioned coming to the Netherworld all these years, simply because he was worried about him developing the Chen Kingdom alone and wanted to help him.
At this moment, the confusion and weakness revealed in Mingye's eyes made Chen Mu even more certain of his guess.
Chen Mu quickly approached Mingye and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her, saying, "Knowing this news will also help in finding out about your parents' background. Don't overthink it; I will definitely help you find your parents."
Mingye looked up and saw Chen Mu's determined eyes, and suddenly felt much more at ease.
"Yes, I believe you, thank you."
After a while, Gao Fenghai led the transport team to the gate of the Yan Manor.
Although the Yan Manor was much smaller than Chen Mu's own residence on the Pan Emperor Continent, the materials used in its construction and the decorations were in no way inferior.
The stone lions on either side of the gate were carved from a rare type of Yin Water Jade, which possessed extremely pure Death Spiritual Power, making people feel incredibly comfortable as soon as they approached it. The walls of the mansion were also made of Cold Gold Stone, which would be difficult for even Core Formation Realm expert to destroy.
After Chen Mu and Mingye got out of the car, Yan Qingtai came out to greet them warmly, while Yan Lianfang waited at the door.
Brother Chen Mu, I'm so sorry!
I never expected the Wang Lineage family to make things difficult for you. If I had known, I would have personally gone to the city gate to greet you.
During the two months that Chen Mu was forging equipment, Yan Qingtai had visited Iron Soul City several times and had become quite familiar with Chen Mu.
Although Yan Qingtai was not clear about the specific techniques Chen Mu used to forge equipment, he had personally witnessed Iron Soul City gradually develop and its productivity increase day by day. Now, it was no less than the top weapon-forging workshops in Iron Soul City.
Although he didn't yet know Chen Mu's skill level in crafting high-level equipment, he already dared not underestimate him based on their current production capacity.
"It's alright, we haven't suffered any losses anyway. We appreciate Brother Qing Tai's kindness."
Before coming to Nine Yama City Nine Yama City, Chen Mu knew a little about the situation there.
The ancestors of the Yan Lineage were warriors who followed the Manju Sacred King from the very beginning of the Manju Imperial Court. During that era, the Yan Lineage was extremely glorious, with nine powerful clansmen emerging. As a result, the city they were granted fiefdoms was named Nine Yama City.
For over four thousand years, the Yan Lineage has held absolute dominance over Nine Yama City, but in recent decades, the situation has changed.
In recent decades, the Manju Imperial Court has been at a disadvantage under the attacks of the Extreme Evil Imperial Court, while the Yan Lineage, as a staunch supporter of the Manju Sacred King, has suffered heavy losses in the war, with many masters falling one after another.
As a result, several powerful Lineage in Nine Yama City saw an opportunity and joined forces to try to seize control of Nine Yama City from the Yan Lineage.
In peacetime, these Lineage would certainly not dare to do such a thing, since the Yan Lineage's status is protected by the Manju Sacred King, and if the Manju Sacred King were to blame them, they would all suffer.
However, even the Manju Imperial Court is currently in turmoil, so it has no time to concern itself with the internal struggles of the various royal cities, which has led to these Lineage becoming increasingly arrogant.
"Haha, I heard that Brother Chen Mu taught those Patrol Department a good lesson today. It's really gratifying!"
Let's go to the banquet hall first and have a good chat.
Yan Qingtai warmly invited Chen Mu to dinner. Chen Mu handed over the equipment and supplies to Gao Fenghai to handle, and then only took Mingye with him to the banquet.
