Chapter 325: True Immortal Bloodline

"The Taiqing Palace has arrived; the display is truly not small."

Ling Yuzhen, who was stroking Xiaobai, suddenly raised her eyes and glanced toward the northwest.

Leiyunzi and Daokong Shenjun, who were chatting in front of the main hall of Xianyun Palace, also looked up one after another.

A group of Elders and Spirit Transformation Great Cultivators were slow to react and actually felt nothing, but seeing the expressions of the two Shenjun, they knew that Yufu Shenjun—the Huashen Great Cultivator from the Taiqing Palace, the most mysterious and highest-cultivation Immortal Sect in the Divine Continent—must have arrived.

Sure enough, in just a few breaths, a grand path of rosy light extended rapidly from the horizon, as if leaping from a distant space-time, and instantly reached the summit of Langya Mountain. At the same time, two snow-white, single-horned horses over ten zhang long appeared out of thin air, pulling a luxurious, shimmering carriage behind them.

A terrifyingly immense pressure descended from the sky, shrouding a radius of ten thousand li.

The faces of Leiyunzi and Daokong Shenjun could not help but twitch simultaneously.

Just moments ago, the two might have scoffed at such a flashy entrance by Yufu Shenjun, but when truly face-to-face, they discovered that Yufu Shenjun's realm and strength were already perfectly natural, giving them both a feeling of heart-palpitating dread.

And the reason why the Taiqing Palace had suddenly decided to attend the Immortal Alliance Assembly this time was also roughly clear.

Ling Yuzhen rolled her eyes and said, "I am talking about opportunity. Do you not understand opportunity? This has nothing to do with aptitude or bloodline. Besides, bloodlines are not fixed; most of the time they degenerate, but there are very rare lucky ones that evolve. Furthermore, one can change the bloodline of descendants through marriage. Perhaps if one is lucky, the offspring born from the fusion of two different bloodlines will be extremely powerful, and breaking through shackles would not be strange."

Ling Yuzhen nodded and said, "Correct. According to my experience, these two little fellows will reach their peak at the Huashen realm. Becoming an Immortal will be extremely difficult unless they have some other immense opportunity."

Guiling Shenjun's expression changed slightly.

"Both brothers have such talent; it is truly rare to see. This Su Bai reached the Golden Core at twenty-four; it would not be an exaggeration to rate this talent as Heavenly Extreme. How is it that I have never heard this person's name at the Immortal Alliance Assembly?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

The style of the Taiqing Palace's entrance was truly too flashy.

Therefore, although they were all Shenjun and addressed each other as Dao brothers, regardless of age or cultivation, Yufu Shenjun was the number one person in the Divine Continent's Immortal World, and the status of the Taiqing Palace as the number one Immortal Sect of the Divine Continent remained unshakable.

"Rest assured, Immortals generally do not interfere in the affairs of the Mortal World."

Xu Chen was full of envy.

Ling Yuzhen curled her lip and said, "I am reminding you that the people who have come are not simple. It is not just the so-called Shenjun Great Cultivators of the Mortal World; among them, there is also an Immortal."

Ling Yuzhen said, "You don't think that Void Breaking is the peak of cultivation, do you?"

"In other words, the reason the Taiqing Palace can be so powerful is because they have a close connection with the Immortal World itself?" Xu Chen seemed to have a sudden realization.

This time, even Guiling Shenjun, who had been listening silently, nodded and said, "So that is how it is. The True Immortal Bloodline must be the same. Perhaps the initial advancement is fast, but the limitations will become greater and greater later on. Once the bloodline is fully activated and reaches its peak, it will stop at a certain realm and be unable to progress any further."

Moreover, it was not just Yufu Shenjun who arrived as a Great Cultivator this time, but also over a hundred others, both old and young. Among them, a group of middle-aged and elderly people all had rolling Spirit Qi and thick auras; they were either in the Spirit Transformation Realm or the True Spirit Realm, and there were as many as twelve of them.

Guiling Shenjun could not help but nod and say, "Indeed. Reaching the Golden Core before the age of thirty is already considered absolute genius aptitude. Observing this person, he is only about thirty years old and is already close to the Spirit Transformation Realm. This poor Daoist has never seen such a peerlessly talented person; saying it is a once-in-a-millennium encounter is truly no exaggeration."

It was not that his realm was higher than his, but that his advancement speed was too fast. Not to mention skipping the True Spirit Heavenly Tribulation directly, after passing the Transformation God Tribulation, he stepped directly into the Transformation God Great Perfection. There was simply no time in between to stabilize his advancement or polish his cultivation, leading to his realm not being fully solidified.

A group of Elders and Spirit Transformation Great Cultivators bowed in welcome with faces full of excitement and awe.

Lin Qiu Ya shook her head and said, "I don't know about this. The Taiqing Palace is inherently very mysterious, and their disciples rarely walk in the human world. If it weren't for attending the Immortal Alliance Assembly this time, and our Supreme Elder being a Great Cultivator who can sit in on the Xianyun Palace Elder Council, we wouldn't know this information either."

In other words, counting Yufu Shenjun, the Taiqing Palace had thirteen Great Cultivators attending the assembly this time; both in number and strength, it could be called terrifying.

Ling Yuzhen said, "No need to guess. I know a little about the Taiqing Palace. Their mountain gate is originally a small grotto-heaven and is not entirely in the Mortal World. Additionally, the talent of the Su brothers is not necessarily just because of excellent Spirit Roots, but because of their bloodline."

Ling Yuzhen nodded and said, "This is a matter of course. In fact, in the nine continents of the Mortal World, this situation is not rare. Even beyond the so-called large Immortal Sects you all know, there are other hidden sects and families that are the same. But don't think that bloodline is necessarily a good thing; in reality, for some True Immortal sects and families, it is also a shackle."

Xu Chen asked curiously again, "Since their True Immortal Bloodline peaks at the Huashen realm, why is it still possible for them to become Immortals? Does this not mean that bloodline suppression is not absolute? Then what is the point of the bloodline shackle?"

"Whoosh~"

Then, only a suitable opportunity was needed for Yufu Shenjun to potentially trigger the Void Breaking Tribulation and ascend to the Nine Heavens Spirit Realm.

Xu Chen naturally understood as well, and a look of surprise and oddity appeared on his face as he said, "In that case, while the Su brothers' current realm looks like it is advancing by leaps and bounds and looking down upon all other cultivators, their future growth potential is a bit hard to say."

Therefore, not only were the group of Great Cultivators moved, but the tens of thousands of cultivators on the Four Dragon Platform were in an uproar and commotion.

But Yufu Shenjun had already achieved it.

Even Xu Chen could not help but say in surprise, "This person has such strong aptitude; he is likely a genius character encountered once in a millennium."

"Could he be Su Mo, who is ranked second on the Prodigy Ranking?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

This aura was slightly superior to his own.

However, because of this, there might be more twists and turns in saving the Great Elder and the two senior sisters today.

Xu Chen frowned immediately.

"Bloodline?!" Xu Chen asked with a face full of surprise, "Do humans have bloodline inheritance just like Demon Beasts?"

Xu Chen said with a face full of astonishment, "Why do you say that? With such a powerful bloodline, cultivation must be smooth sailing. Looking at the aptitude of the brothers Su Bai and Su Mo, reaching the Huashen realm in the future is not a big problem, and Void Breaking is also very likely. This is the ultimate goal of all cultivators in the Mortal World; why is it bad instead?"

"This is no ordinary Spirit Beast, but two Heavenly Horses!" Ling Yuzhen's voice echoed in Xu Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

Lin Qiu Ya stood to the side and shook her head, saying, "No, the young man beside this person should be Su Mo. This one should be Su Mo's elder brother, Su Bai. I heard he reached the Golden Core at twenty-four, with even better aptitude than Su Mo."

And this old man's realm was clearly much more stable; his Primordial Spirit was solid, his Spirit Qi was restrained, and he already had a bit of the aura of a True Immortal.

Xu Chen was stunned and said, "Naturally not. Above that, there is the Body Integration and Great Vehicle, and even Void Refining and Dao Integration."

Xu Chen's face twitched as he transmitted his voice, "Senior, is it necessary to pry into other people's thoughts like this?"

Especially a young man in the middle wearing cloud-patterned fine robes, who appeared to be under thirty years old. He was handsome and tall, with an imposing manner, and his whole body radiated an irrepressible, intense fluctuation of Soul and Primordial Qi; he was already in the Danyuan Realm Great Perfection state.

Ling Yuzhen curled her lip and said, "Naturally there is. Otherwise, how could there be the saying of 'dragon and phoenix appearance'? Things like Spirit Roots are not innate; they are originally a manifestation of bloodline inheritance. It is just that the situation with Spirit Roots is complex, and whether they appear depends on Heaven's will. But if bloodline inheritance is well-maintained, it will be very obvious for generations. Clearly, the Su brothers are not relying on aptitude, but on bloodline. If I haven't guessed wrong, the Su family's bloodline comes from some True Immortal family above the nine heavens."

Perhaps sensing Xu Chen's worry, Ling Yuzhen transmitted her voice softly.

This aura was the goal they dreamed of.

Xu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Senior is talking about the general situation; that means there are still exceptions!"

Ling Yuzhen did not deny it and nodded, saying, "That is indeed the case, but no True Immortal would look twice at you scum!"

Xu Chen could not help but glance at the man beside him, and sure enough, he discovered that he matched the image and realm of the cultivator ranked second on the Prodigy Ranking even more—he looked twenty-five or twenty-six, was handsome, and radiated the unique aura of a Danyuan Realm early-stage cultivator.

After all, what he was relying on was merely Guiling Shenjun.

That is to say, the Immortals above the nine heavens also felt that the leakage of Underworld Qi and the disaster of the Nether Beasts had reached a point where they could not afford not to intervene.

The old man's expression was calm as he bowed to Leiyunzi and Daokong Shenjun, while his eyes swept over the group of Elders and Spirit Transformation Great Cultivators.

"We pay our respects to Yufu Shenjun!" The group of Elders and Great Cultivators, along with the tens of thousands of cultivators, bowed in unison.

The tens of thousands of cultivators on the Four Dragon Platform exclaimed in an uproar together.

Even the remaining dozens of cultivators were all Danyuan Realm powerhouses, and they were all young or middle-aged men and women; there was not a single one with white hair.

Ling Yuzhen said, "Doesn't that settle it? The shackles are right there, just like with Demon Beasts and Spirit Beasts; bloodline inheritance all has a peak. You surely don't believe that a Demon Beast that can successfully grow to the fifth rank will necessarily enter the sixth rank in the future; perhaps the fifth rank is its bloodline peak."

Xu Chen was about to ask a few more questions when he saw the carriage door gently push open; a surge of clouds and mist churned within, and swirling five-colored rays of light erupted from the door, transforming into a grand path that extended to the steps in front of the main hall. Then, a group of people descended from the carriage, and the moment they stepped onto the path of light, they were suddenly standing before the group of Elders and the two Shenjun.

These two identical white horses with single horns possessed thick auras; even without any movement, their bodies were shrouded and surrounded by a lingering spiritual light. If he was not mistaken, these were two sixth-rank Spirit Beasts.

This old man's Primordial Spirit was already perfectly integrated with the laws of heaven and earth; he was clearly a super powerhouse at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Severing stage.

Xu Chen was stunned and prepared to speak, but Ling Yuzhen said again, "Do not ask or guess. I do not recognize the newcomers either, but perhaps it is also related to this leakage of Underworld Qi."

Leiyunzi and Daokong Shenjun did not dare to be negligent and returned the salute together with a bow.

If a True Immortal were to come forward, perhaps calming this Nether Beast Catastrophe and the Underworld Qi leakage would be much easier.

"This poor Daoist Yufuzi, greets the two Daoist brothers Leiyun and Daokong, and greets all the Elders of the Immortal Alliance and the many Daoist Friends of Shenzhou!"

The leader was a tall, thin old man with white hair and a silver beard, wearing a white robe; his complexion was ruddy, his aura was incomparably ordinary, and his every gesture was as calm and natural as if carved by heaven.

Guiling Shenjun is indeed supernaturally powerful in the Shenzhou Immortal World, but in front of an Immortal, that is completely insufficient; he could not withstand even a single finger.

The large carriage landed directly on the Four Dragon Platform, and the path of light retracted into the carriage and vanished.

Xu Chen finally understood completely, and he shook his head with a bitter smile, saying, "After saying so much, when it comes down to it, bloodline is still a good thing."

"That is natural, at least for cultivators of the Mortal World, it is indeed so!" Ling Yuzhen nodded, but her tone seemed somewhat disapproving.
