The Bloodline Was Closely Connected to One of the Five Symbols Sect's Principles
Lu Changzhi got up and walked away.
The books are quite old-fashioned, carrying a sense of vicissitudes that have been weathered by time.
The front bears four large characters: "Lu Clan Bloodline".
"You wouldn't actually call yourself that, would you?" Lu Changzhi said softly, turning the pages of his book.
The scroll contains a great deal of information, including how bloodlines are formed, their main functions, areas that need improvement, and issues that require attention.
It is worth mentioning that Lu Changzhi saw one of the statements inside right from the start.
The origin of the Lu Clan Bloodline is closely related to one of the tenets of the Five Symbols Sect. Furthermore, the ancestor who originally formed the bloodline was also a member of the Five Symbols Sect.
As for what the concept was, Lu Changzhi initially thought it was about concealing one's aura.
After all, not easily revealing their true strength is a characteristic of the sect.
However, this is not actually the case.
The concept closely linked to this bloodline is what makes people...
And the name of this bloodline is none other than the simple and unadorned "Summoning People Bloodline".
That's right, it's calling someone.
Of course, this is different from the act of calling someone with a communication stone.
The term "human" in the context of bloodline refers to a person who is called "human" based on bloodline.
Specifically, each generation of ancestors with bloodlines would use the power of their bloodlines to integrate their cultivation methods and expertise into their bloodlines, preserving them in a simplified form.
When younger generations cultivate themselves, they can use this knowledge and insights to gain understanding and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The difference is that, with the help of bloodline, descendants can directly use those simplified forms. For example, if an ancestor is skilled in formations, the descendants do not need to know formations to construct formations by borrowing bloodline abilities.
Furthermore, by activating one's bloodline, one can use its power to condense ancestral avatars, each using their own unique methods. Moreover, once the bloodline is activated to a certain degree, other individuals with the same bloodline will sense it and use its power as a guide to launch the most timely and precise attacks.
Simply put, the Lu family ancestor back then achieved the goal of "beating the young to help the old" at the level of bloodline. The main concern was that someone might take advantage of the Lu family's lack of manpower. In this way, by relying on bloodline, he was able to make a big difference, and offending one person would offend a whole group.
"Our ancestor is truly..."
After reading the introduction about the uses of bloodlines, Lu Changzhi was filled with emotion. After a long while, he finally spoke softly:
"What a talent!"
If things get really heated, and they call in their grandparents or great-grandparents for help, who knows what kind of situation that would unfold.
Moreover, because the power originates from the bloodline, there is no need to wait; it is almost as if the power arrives immediately upon being summoned.
If all else fails, hold on a little longer; the surviving ancestors will eventually arrive, either through their physical form or by means of their methods.
Just thinking about it, Lu Changzhi suddenly gained some new insights into the concept of sticking together for warmth.
Or, to be more precise:
Incite a group fight.
Looking back, just as Lu Changzhi had estimated, activating the bloodline still required a great deal from him and consumed a lot of energy. At his current level, it was impossible for him to summon the previous eight generations in one go.
Aside from the drawback of huge consumption, another one is what I just mentioned.
The bloodline has been passed down for eight generations. Instead of becoming diluted or weaker, its power has grown stronger with each generation's efforts, far exceeding what those below the Saint Realm can withstand. To ensure that future generations are not harmed, the bloodline must be extracted as soon as possible.
In this way, it becomes a drawback.
Because regardless of bloodline, it greatly helps in cultivation, and this help is more obvious when one is young. This early help is for the purpose of entering the Saint Realm as soon as possible.
Comparatively speaking, preventing Summoning People Bloodline from returning to the body before reaching the Saint Realm is tantamount to voluntarily giving up a huge advantage.
Of course, this didn't bother Lu Changzhi.
After all, it didn't actually take him very long to enter the Saint Realm.
In addition, there is another drawback: the Heavenly Dao, and even stronger beings, all believe that this kind of bloodline should not exist in the world. This view has become almost unanimous, especially after the Summoning People Bloodline has undergone several generations of development.
Even if the bloodline is not in the body, but there has been contact with it, at certain key moments or special circumstances, it will attract hostility from these forces.
"So, the previous World-Destroying Lightning Tribulation must have been caused by this."
Looking back, Lu Changzhi understood.
He wondered how he, a perfectly Eager to Help Others young man, could be so unforgivable by Heavenly Dao.
The truth is that our fathers and ancestors were too powerful!
"System, what are your thoughts on this bloodline?"
Lu Changzhi asked the system a question.
"Reporting to Master, based on the many bloodlines the system currently understands, this Summoning People Bloodline is indeed extremely strong," the system responded, then added:
"But there are still areas for improvement."
"Can it be improved?" Lu Changzhi's expression shifted:
Can you do it?
This passage points out these drawbacks of bloodline existence, not only to remind people to pay attention, but also to hope that future generations can improve upon them so that Summoning People Bloodline can reach a higher level.
If the system could enhance this bloodline...
A group of people who all possess a certain bloodline, once one of them elevates that bloodline, all those who possess the bloodline will benefit from it.
"It should be possible, but it's definitely not possible right now," the system replied.
Lu Changzhi nodded and smiled:
"Isn't this an opportunity to dangle a carrot in front of me?"
"Master, I am not confident enough in this matter, and it is inappropriate to make empty promises," the system replied solemnly.
After waiting for a while, the figure spoke again:
"If you're ready to let your blood flow back into your body, lie down on the stage. This process should take quite a while, but you shouldn't feel any pain."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi put away his book, got up, and walked to the stage.
He lay down Jingjing, and at the same time, the figure and light disappeared.
The sound of water arose all around, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, accompanied by the light of an array that fixed Lu Changzhi on the platform.
When the medicinal solution was applied, the first sensation was warmth. Immediately afterwards, Lu Changzhi clearly sensed the changes in his sensations under the influence of the solution.
He soon understood why they said he shouldn't feel any pain.
The liquid contained something similar to the anesthetic from his previous life; in short, at this moment, his entire body was numb.
Southern Region, Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
Thump!
After another round of enhanced training, Luo Zhen was thrown into the medicinal liquid once again.
Perhaps it was fate, but now it wasn't just Lu Changzhi's body that felt numb, but also Luo Zhen's heart.
Anger, resentment, and dissatisfaction only led to further escalation.
They became increasingly ruthless and frequent in their attacks.
Even if someone is used as a punching bag, they should at least be given a chance to catch their breath, but he wasn't.
Pain numbs the senses, and resentment is temporarily forgotten.
Just when he was feeling somewhat desperate, an unusual situation suddenly arose that gave him a glimmer of hope.
Although he was tortured terribly, Luo Zhen could clearly feel that an invisible force was beginning to gather within his body. He couldn't say exactly what it was or where it was located, but it was real and gradually grew stronger with each round of torture.
Hope, like a spark, ignited and burned fiercely.
With another beating, Luo Zhen's thoughts gradually turned mad:
Come on, ravage me!
"If you can't kill me, you'll only become stronger!"
