Chapter 235: Gaining the Demon Clan's Cultivation

Boom—

Accompanied by a tremendous roar, the Ancient God appeared before a fleet of warships, stretched out a hand and grabbed, instantly crushing a large number of the warships.

The evil spirits hidden inside scattered outward, trying to flee.

One of the larger evil spirits split into several parts, fleeing in all directions.

This fellow is a match for the Seven Realms cultivator who once used the Demonic Emperor's Blood, and indeed it let him escape several portions.

It's mainly a matter of size.

The Ancient God's hand is too large; when dealing with too-small a target, if the opponent puts up a good fight, there is still some room to struggle.

Just as when the Ancient God's hand swatted at the flying vessel earlier, Lu Xun used the Shift Technique to forcibly move the vessel into the gap between its two fingers, thereby escaping disaster.

As far as we can see, this Ancient God seems to have no other means, such as divine power or the like.

I don't know whether it's been sealed by the God-Suppressing Nail, or its methods are simply that singular.

Singular, but effective,

and invincible.

Seeing that the evil spirit was about to escape, the Ancient God's other hand moved.

A distance of several thousand or tens of thousands of miles is, to the Ancient God, merely a flick of the hand.

It's equivalent to a person quickly raising an arm.

The speed is such that the evil spirit cannot dodge at all, and is directly seized one after another by the Ancient God.

The Ancient God threw all these evil spirits onto its head.

Then, after being subdued by the God Slave, they were handed over to Lu Xun to burn.

"Good fellow, this evil spirit might be able to threaten the Eight Realms."

This particularly large evil spirit was especially formidable, yet it was easily subdued by the God Slave.

The God Slave's strength also gave Lu Xun further grounds for speculation.

Not just the Eight Realms.

It's probably the Nine Realms, or even stronger.

I don't know whether, after becoming the Ancient God's God Slave over these countless years, he has still been growing.

He may still be growing, but no matter how he grows, he cannot escape the Ancient God.

His body bears the slave seal implanted by the Ancient God; if the Ancient God wishes him dead, a mere thought suffices.

"Another remnant thought!"

After the largest evil spirit was burned to ashes, a remnant thought again appeared within the remaining soul relic.

After the God Slave pressed it back, Lu Xun gathered it up and stored it in his inner vision space.

If it were in a pocket space, he would worry about the Ancient God discovering it.

Upon entering the inner vision space, the ancient remnant thought within the soul relic rushed out.

"How come it's a female?"

This time the remnant thought is somewhat unexpected—not the previous one, but a female.

In terms of race, it also differs somewhat from the God Slave and the remnant thought of that previous powerhouse.

"Wow, this is the Silver Hair Tribe."

Barbara observed the opponent for a while, then said.

"Silver Hair Tribe?"

"Haven't you seen her hair is silver? If that's not the Silver Hair Tribe, what is? There are many tribes in the starry sky; what you've encountered so far is merely a tiny fraction."

Barbara had the air of someone well-read.

"What tribe are the God Slave and the previous remnant thought, then?"

Lu Xun asked.

"Their ears are big; you can call them the Big Ear Tribe."

Barbara casually gave the God Slave's tribe a name.

Alright.

Lu Xun would do the same with that naming style.

"And you? Are you the Cat Person Tribe?"

Lu Xun picked it up on the spot.

"What cat people? We are the noble Astra Tribe!"

Upon uttering the four words 'Astra', Barbara involuntarily lifted her head, bearing an immensely proud look.

Fine,

When naming others' tribes, it's just Silver Hair and Big Ear.

When it comes to oneself, it's the noble Astra Tribe.

"What does 'Astra' mean?"

Lu Xun asked.

While burning the God-Suppressing Nail, he was really quite bored.

Whenever he had nothing to do, he liked to chat with Barbara.

Barbara, alone in the inner vision cave-heaven, was equally bored and also liked to chat with Lu Xun.

"Of course, listen up~"

"The 'A' is the low murmur of mountains, the wind inscribing ancient meter on cliff faces..."

"The 'Si' is the covenant of dawn light and wheat ears, each golden ray holding a divine edict—bending is not submission, but returning a full poem to the earth..."

"Special" is a white deer leaping over the ice river, the hoof tip splashing stars that congeal into amber...

"La" ah, it's the gods loosening the harp strings, letting the heavenly river pour down as our hair...

Babala suddenly started reciting a poem.

Her voice was extremely beautiful, each syllable like a nightingale singing, interpreting the four characters Astela in a very beautiful way.

Not a bad poem.

Lu Xun praised.

That's right, this is the chant of wandering poets that has continued for a thousand years.

Babala was proud.

On your planet, does everyone have ears and a tail like you?

Lu Xun changed his way of asking.

Of course not, I'm royalty; those savage folks, how could they be worthy of looking like royalty?

Babala spoke righteously and confidently.

Royalty.

Okay.

After chatting some more with Babala, Lu Xun gained considerable understanding of Astela Star.

Compared to Lan Xing, the social system of Astela Star is completely different.

The status of royalty is extremely high; that set of equality for all on Lan Xing does not apply there.

This is not backward.

Different spiritual stars have different suitable social systems.

Moving that set from Lan Xing to other spiritual stars would likely cause a collapse.

Humans don't emphasize bloodline; even if your own talent is poor, you could still give birth to extraordinary offspring.

This is humanity's special trait.

Everyone has a chance.

Even if you yourself cannot, your descendants, and their descendants, still have a chance.

As for races that emphasize bloodline, such as the blood clan.

Those with poor bloodline will only get worse generation after generation, unless a throwback appears in the family.

Such probability is extremely tiny, far less than that of humans.

Thus the blood clan is a family-based social system.

The stronger a family's forefather, the stronger the descendants.

In the blood clan, the nobility remains nobility.

Ordinary blood descendants can never turn their lives around.

Not only can they themselves not turn around, but even their descendants' descendants cannot.

Unable to turn around aside, blood descendants have no status before the blood clan nobility.

When encountering blood clan nobility, one must be reverent; a slight lack of respect could spell doom.

Other groups like the demon clan and barbarian clan likewise emphasize bloodline and lineage.

Such a society could never give you equality for all.

Moreover, even within humanity, it's only a universal equality.

How could the status of ordinary people compare to that of cultivators?

This is still the result of heavenly Dao's constraints.

If not for the heavenly Dao's constraints, some nations' cultivators could reduce all ordinary people to slaves for cultivators to abuse.

Human nature is evil!

The premise of truth, goodness, and beauty is having a powerful force willing to maintain this order.

Otherwise, the evil in human nature would be stirred up, and it would be even more brutal than the demon clan.

"Give her some soul relics to see if she can wake up."

Finally, Lu Xun had Babala feed the new ancient remnant thought, that is, the silver-haired woman's remnant thought, with soul relics.

Being able to leave a remnant thought to this day, the silver-haired woman's strength is no less than that of the previous ancient powerhouses.

The two are also of different clans.

Moreover, the style of these giant ships clearly shows two styles.

Lu Xun thus faintly guessed what happened on the ancient battlefield.

It is very likely that two civilizations fought a fierce war here.

As a result, it awakened the ancient god sleeping here.

In its wrath, the ancient god swept away the fleets of both civilizations in one net, thereby creating this ancient battlefield whose age is unknown.

That's roughly how it is.

As for the specifics, Lu Xun dares not be completely certain.

"What is Aodaili doing, why hasn't she broken through yet?"

Lu Xun started worrying about Aodaili again.

These past months, Aodaili has made progress, but only in magical profundities.

Or perhaps she learned some new magic, or her existing magic made a breakthrough, etc.

However, in her magical cultivation, she has never broken through.

She remains at the peak of a mage.

For a few months, for an ordinary mage, breaking through to archmage is still difficult.

Although archmage and mage differ by only one character, the actual difference is still great.

Mages can instant-cast some ordinary-power magic.

Archmages can instant-cast some greater-power magic.

For the same magic, archmages consume less, yet their power is actually greater.

Moreover, archmages have a vaster magic pool, their magic is more mighty and pure, their mental strength is stronger, and they know more spells.

These two, one is in the Fourth Realm, the other in the Fifth Realm.

Some ordinary mages, just accumulating magic power, need many years.

Wanting to break through to archmage, even several or ten-odd years may not be enough.

Even, it's possible to be stuck for a lifetime.

Just like some who reach the Fourth Realm by grinding time, a lifetime may still not break through to the Fifth Realm.

But she is the Western top genius, Aodaili.

How can a genius's speed be compared to that of an ordinary person?

Moreover, Aodaili also obtained Barbara's magic grimoire; she shouldn't be this slow.

You can't rush it even if you're anxious.

Now Lu Xun can't contact her again; even if he could, he couldn't do anything.

Can only wait idly.

【Ran Bing's monster cultivation broke through to the Sixth Realm, second layer; you gain fifty times Ran Bing's harvest.】

"Huh?"

Two days later.

A sudden return arrived, leaving Lu Xun stunned momentarily.

This return came from Ran Bing.

After binding with Ran Bing, the returns she provides Lu Xun mainly concern formation mastery.

After several returns, Lu Xun's formation mastery broke through to the seventh rank.

That is to say, Lu Xun now is a seventh-rank formation master.

This rank is not low.

Seventh-rank formation masters are already formation grandmasters.

But this return... actually is monster cultivation!

Ran Bing's monster cultivation broke through to the Sixth Realm, second layer!

This left Lu Xun somewhat dazed.

"Yes, this should be the cultivation brought by Ran Bing's past-life will..."

Lu Xun recalled the monster-king-level cultivation displayed when Ran Bing's past-life will emerged.

Such monster-king-level cultivation couldn't just appear out of nowhere, right?

Ran Bing's past-life will, upon awakening, inherently brought her monster cultivation growth, merely suppressed forcibly by Ran Bing.

This time, it should also be the cultivation breakthrough brought by Ran Bing's past-life will.

The past life and Ran Bing are actually one entity, two aspects.

Thus, after Ran Bing's past-life will cultivation breakthrough, Lu Xun also received a return.

However, Lu Xun is somewhat puzzled.

How did Ran Bing's past-life will cultivate?

Or perhaps, because her past life was too strong, she hid her cultivation in the reincarnation mark?

In the reincarnation mark... can cultivation be stored?

Lu Xun's mind filled with a heap of doubts.

While he doubted, the return's hot surge frenziedly poured into his body.
