Chapter 499: Secret History (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Director Fu took a sip of hot tea, savored the taste, and said:

"This is natural; the gap between geniuses is even greater than you imagine."

"SS-rank geniuses have a chance to break through to the Ninth Realm, let alone SSS-rank geniuses, who have a high probability of breaking through to the Ninth Realm."

"As long as one possesses sufficient resources and time, the number of Ninth Realm martial artists will not be small."

"But the gap in strength between Ninth Realm martial artists is truly vast."

"And through the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu, one can distinguish the gap in talent; it divides geniuses into four levels."

"Most SSS-rank geniuses can only comprehend Level 11 Disaster Beasts; even martial artists who have awakened two talents may not necessarily comprehend Level 12 Disaster Beasts."

"Only the top-tier geniuses who have awakened two abilities, and possess extremely strong cultivation talent and comprehension, can comprehend the cultivation arts of Level 12 Disaster Beasts."

"As for the six existences at the very top of the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu, over the past few decades, only 10 people have succeeded."

"You know their titles as well: our Xia Guo's Red Emperor and Overlord."

"The White Eagle Federation's God of War, the Mao Bear Nation's Great Emperor of Ice and Snow, and the Tianzhu Nation's Ganges Venerable."

"Each of them is the undisputed strongest in their respective nations."

"Even among the Ninth Realm, they are existences in a league of their own."

Lin Qi nodded; everyone Director Fu mentioned was the strongest in their respective nation.

At the same time, they are also recognized globally as the top five existences in terms of strength.

Director Fu continued:

"As for the remaining five, they are the current top five on the leaderboard."

"And among them, our Xia Guo has three, which has made other nations incredibly envious."

Lin Qi took a sip of tea and let Director Fu refill it.

"Lin Qi, some have said that being able to comprehend top-tier Monster Beast cultivation arts means one is destined to become one of the top ten existences globally in the future."

"Our human civilization is destined to be led by you; I hope you can cherish your talent."

"The future of our humanity depends on you."

Lin Qi nodded, then asked:

"Director Fu, I have a question."

"Among the cultivation arts I comprehended, the Disaster Beast I observed is named the Jin Di Tiger."

"And within the cultivation art, it refers to them as the Monster Clan, not Disaster Beasts..."

Lin Qi simply stated the information about the Jin Di Tiger from the cultivation art and asked his doubt:

"Is it possible that their real name is the Monster Clan, not Disaster Beasts?"

Director Fu nodded after hearing this:

"As expected, you have also learned of the existence of the Monster Clan."

"Actually, we have known about the Monster Clan for a long time, and it was the Red Emperor who told us."

"Disaster Beasts are Disaster Beasts, and the Monster Clan is the Monster Clan; they are different."

"Disaster Beasts have no intelligence, while Monsters have intelligence, and they are even more powerful."

"According to our speculation, Disaster Beasts are more like subordinates of the Monster Clan, suppressed by the Monster Clan's bloodline, or even controlled by the Monster Clan."

"And the most top-tier existences among Disaster Beasts are Level 9 Disaster Beasts."

"And starting from Level 10 Disaster Beasts, they are actually already considered the Monster Clan, so they can control a large number of Disaster Beasts to launch Disaster Beast Tides."

"To them, Disaster Beasts are more like cannon fodder."

After hearing this, Lin Qi's doubts were resolved.

Director Fu spoke again:

"Lin Qi, you have also realized it, haven't you?"

"The entire universe is vast; it is not just us Earth humans, as there are also humans on other planets."

"And they possess more powerful civilizations and strength."

"Besides that, there are Disaster Beasts, the Insect Clan, the Human Clan, and the newly emerged Monster Clan."

"Disaster Beasts and the Insect Clan are both enemies of humanity, and there may be more enemies in the future."

"But our Human Clan currently only has the Ninth Realm, and from the existence of the Monster Clan, one can see that their realms far exceed the Ninth Realm."

"If such existences appeared on our Blue Star, we would have no way to resist."

"That is why the Red Emperor and the others have always been under unknown pressure, never stopping their pace of becoming stronger."

"But as of now, we still do not know how to break through to the Tenth Realm."

"And we were afraid of causing panic among humans, so we have not announced the existence of the Monster Clan."

"It was only after the recent arrival of the Level 10 Calamity Beasts that it began to be gradually disclosed."

Lin Qi nodded; he could imagine the worries of the top powerhouses.

In his past life, he had read many novels, watched anime, and seen film works, so he accepted the existence of the Monster Clan particularly quickly.

But acceptance is one thing; they currently have no trace, so he was not too worried.

However, one must plan ahead and prepare for the future.

Director Fu put down his teacup and said:

"Much of the content we just discussed, I only told you because you are an SSS-rank genius."

"Many things, even Seventh Realm martial artists might not necessarily know."

"Do not put too much pressure on yourself."

"The Otherworld has existed for who knows how many years; unknown humans and the Monster Clan might have been matters from hundreds of millions of years ago."

"Our current enemy is still Disaster Beasts; what you need to do next is to cultivate with peace of mind and forge your own unique Golden Gangjin."

Lin Qi nodded and said: "I understand!"

!

He is currently just a martial artist who has just broken through to the Seventh Realm; whatever Monster Clan is too far away from him.

Next, Lin Qi and Director Fu chatted for another two hours, drinking dry his small bag of tea leaves.

Director Fu was born in 1984 of the Martial Path Era and had experienced an entire era.

He knew many secrets of the past, and many past deeds opened Lin Qi's eyes, benefiting him greatly; their relationship grew much closer, and they even added each other on WeChat.

After Lin Qi left, only Director Fu remained in the office.

He poured himself a cup of hot tea and sighed:

"I didn't expect that even I would misjudge!"

"He was able to practice the cultivation method of six top-tier Monster Beasts without awakening three special abilities."

"Or perhaps he hasn't awakened yet; he should be a latent awakening, and perhaps the third special ability will also wait for the future to awaken."

"But even so, his potential is even higher than imagined."

"In a few years, his strength might be even more powerful than mine."

"I hope there will be more and more geniuses like him."

After muttering to himself for a while, he took out his smartphone and sent messages to several friends on WeChat.

Lin Qi returned to his Home of Ten Thousand Beasts, Room 305.

"Xiao Chan, project my notes!"

"Understood, Master!"

The blue metal sphere projected Xiao Chan's appearance and projected a panel.

Lin Qi began to write on the panel, recording the Blood Exchange chapter from the "Jin Di Secret Canon," while leaving notes.

Then he roughly recorded the content of his chat with Director Fu.

After a simple summary, he sent a message to Liu Yuanzhang, asking him to come pick him up tomorrow.

Then he simply took a shower and went to bed.

Sky Dome Academy

In one of the Star Abode residences, inside a villa.

In the Martial Path room, Liu Yuanzhang, dressed in white robes, sat cross-legged, surrounded by gusts of wind.

A large amount of Source Energy entered his body and was absorbed by his body.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes.

He sighed and said:

"My physical talent is still not enough; with such a good environment at Sky Dome Academy, after cultivating for so long, my Blood Qi value hasn't increased much."

"If there are no Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, continuing to cultivate like this, it might not be certain that I will be able to touch the Eighth Realm even after decades."

"But if I exchange for Blood Spirit Potion, perhaps I can undergo four blood exchanges and break through to the Eighth Realm!"

Blood Spirit Potion is a potion made with Blood Lingzhi as the main material.

Its effect is not as good as Blood Lingzhi, but it can temper blood and significantly increase Blood Qi value.
