Chapter 1025: Bloodlines & ws


    On this trip, vastly different than before, Liu Suyin was talkative throughout. She and Wei Wuyin engaged in conversation detailing a variety of topics. Initially, Liu Suyin found Wei Wuyin''s persistent ignorance a little tedious to satisfy. He was an incessant machine of pinpointing questions, seeking and seeking boration and exnations relentlessly.


    She was given explicit orders by the Sect Master to assuage Wei Wuyin''s curiosity and to deliberately highlight the marvelous benefits granted by the True Destined Voyager status and living in the World Between the Fold. Initially, these topics were a duty, but then this silver-eyed mortal began to bring up topics of cultivation. The tone of the conversation shifted instantly.


    "Stable space relies not just on form and stability, but density and cohesion of mana, energies, and essence to…"


    "Mana has no will, but if you sense it thoroughly, there''s a subtle instinct that can be interfaced with by…"


    "The Primary Light Source is said to be unchangeable, but I…through this theory of execution…a method to expand…"


    Liu Suyin''s typically indifferent eyes glinted from time to time, regardless of the subject that Wei Wuyin brought up, the fresh viewpoint and takes was unimaginably beneficial to her. There were certain things that she, an Ascended being, was unable to express in words, such as the faint instinct of mana, yet Wei Wuyin perfectly exined it.


    Soon, the tedious conversation between a heated exchange of back-and-forth ideas and beliefs about certain aspects of cultivation. She was thrilled; they discussed for hours on hours. Then, days had passed, and the indifferent light in her eyes had morphed into an invested one.


    "But Chaotic Space is about ensuing chaos, disorderly energies, and destabilization, so how can it be…" She asked questions now, seeking out things that confounded her for decades to centuries. When Wei Wuyin discussed the Law of Space and all it governed, especially Fixed, Stable, and Chaotic Space, it was as if he entered a professor-like state.


    "By deliberately causing chaos, new fields of application can be deployed. For example, causing a copse of two points of space, then interconnecting them through a stable…" Wei Wuyin was a masterss of Spatial Convergence Theory, especially as he spoke about things such as the Ster Transit Light, Void Gates, Void Portals, etc.


    It wasn''t purely one-sided, however. Liu Suyin was an Ascended being, and her knowledge included the Void Voyage Sect''s vast stores of knowledge, so quite a few profound details had slipped from her lips. The human bloodline—for example.


    Wei Wuyin was always curious about human bloodlines, especially after Lin Ziyan''s story reached his ears. She belonged to a lineage that can innately split their Spirits of Cultivation. Were there other human lineages like that? With powerful convention-defying abilities? Were they even human to begin with?


    What he learned was that the human bloodline''s foundation, much like demon-hybrids or beast-hybrids(Beastmen), was to be flexible and epting. Any humanoid race of standard physical attributes, any hybrid for that matter, had a piece of the human race within them.


    Da Shan, for example, was a cross-breed of a violet mountain demon, a distant titan rtion, and a long lineage of humans. The extent of this difference was uncertain until birth, highly based on how they obtained that bloodline and how distant certain lineages were.


    For example, there are beastmen like Zuhei who were a mixture of humans and an ancient, extinct Sirius, a race of beings that existed alongside Phoenixes, Dragons, and Vermillion Birds. However, Zuhei was more human than beast, yet his cultivation path was predominantly beast. This caused innate ws in their progression.


    ''Unlike me, Zuhei''s Spirit of Cultivation isn''t stabilized by a Mark of Myth formed by progenitor-level essence blood. I wonder if this is why there''s no record of Beastmen ascending…'' Wei Wuyin quietly mused. Despite Elves, Demons, and Humans all having reached the Mystic Ascendant Realm by the hands of the King of Everlore, no Beastman had.


    And it wasn''t as if the King of Everlore hadn''t tried. He tried. Eventually, Wu Yu attributed the King of Everlore''s dislike towards beastmen as one of his initial failures and stayed away from them. Wu Yu heard once that the beastmen were taking two cultivation paths at the same time, neither of which werepatible.


    He felt that this was a hurdle that Zuhei would be forced to face, a consequence of taking two paths simultaneously, yet neither waspatible with the other in a natural fashion. Only by using methods like the True Dragon Transmutation Method can you ''properly'' convert yourself into a hybrid in ordance with the human race''s cultivation system.


    Wei Wuyin couldn''t fathom taking Bai Lin''s path, slowly edging through transformations until eventually bing a genuine True Dragon. And considering Zuhei alsocks this ability, he would have to solve this inherent w.


    And this w was extremely well-known throughout the Void Voyage Sect; Liu Suyin and Wei Wuyin had discussed why or how this w came about, purely out of an academically theoretical approach, and she said that—ording to her, Beastmen were enved in the Azure-Prime Gctic Region.


    They were lesser races, including the elven race. A race simrly known to be able to intermingle with ''superior'' races like humans yet remaining ''lesser''.


    This stoked his interest intensely, curious why elves were considered inferior. Unfortunately, Liu Suyin didn''t know. She had never delved into it, a topic that wasn''t remotely important to her. Furthermore, there were two other ''lesser'' races among the outside world as well, all afflicted with the same critical issue: their inability to ascend to the Mystic Ascendant Realm using the Spirit of Cultivation, and this included hybrids.


    But Wei Wuyin was immediately baffled; the Sacred Elven Queen had ascended! And while in thest eight thousand years since elves had been reintroduced into the Grand Cyclic Ster Region, much like dragons, almost forgotten through time if not for their relocation, there hadn''t been a single other Ascended elf.


    What did the King of Everlore do?


    But when he inquired about the Sacred Elven Queen, confusingly, Liu Suyin dismissed the possibility despite telling her of his starfield''s recorded history. She was fiercely adamant that there had never been an Ascended beastman or elf in the entire history of the Sealed Regions—ever. Not even an Everlore Ascension Pill had helped in this regard.


    "..." This sent Wei Wuyin into a spiral of confusion. These discussions had revealed a lot of the world''s secrets to him, but also directly ced heavy questions in hisp to contemte.


    ''I wonder…'' Wei Wuyin thought about the Everlore Ascension Pill, thinking about the transcendent-quality version. Could it…was that how…the possibility infected his thoughts and conjured a curious itch he was dying to scratch. He''ll certainly have to test itter. Unfortunately, the Heavenly War Spirit inly said she didn''t know about the Alchemic Dao with heavy depth, even if she was fully formed with all her memories, and at most, she knew that the saying always held true:


    "The Dao of Alchemy is limitless."


    DOOSH!


    The Skyship they were in soonnded; it took close to six days before they arrived at their designated destination. It was still a little excessive if you asked him. Fortunately, this ride was tremendously informative. The more he learned about the history of the Sealed Regions, the more he felt as if there was an array ofplex webs interwoven in every fabric, some visible and a few hidden.


    Liu Suyin''s face shockingly leaked out a rare wisp of emotion—reluctance. They left the Skyship with her wanting, especially the profound details gleaned from the Grand Convergence Spatial Resonance and Wei Wuyin''s insight into observing certain phenomena, such as Ster Transit Light, using the unique perspective of a True Void Dragon.


    Wei Wuyin trickled the bits here and there, patiently, slowly, and she felt irritated at how deliberate he was expounding on what he knew. However, she kept her temper hidden behind her indifferent expression, maintaining her cool and slowly extracting what she could.


    When they finally left the Skyship, Wei Wuyin was weed by the sight of a building with three towers of varying heights side-by-side, all part of a singr whole, and colored in deep azure. The sheen of its walls was glistening with nobleness, generating feelings of awe and reverence.


    The building wasn''t massive by any means, only about a few miles of space within—spacious yet not excessively so. At its double-doors standing at twelve meters in height, with descending stairs that numbered eighty-one steps, granting it a loftier feeling, two armored figures holding two halberds proudly stood guard. The des on the sides of these halberds were distinct, with one having a crescent moon de and the other having the other portion as a de. Thetter resembled more an axe than a halberd.


    They both emanated unfathomable auras.


    Earthly Saints!


    Beings at this level acting as mere guards for the building''s doors! Liu Yin, what scrumptious bait have youid out?


    Just as Wei Wuyin felt an almost irresistible urge to lick his lips from anticipation, the doors opened, and walking out was a figure loudly crunching on something. A sound of crunchy chewing was interrupted by a soft exmation.


    "Ah! It''s you?!"


    Wei Wuyin eyes briefly contracted after hearing this familiar voice.
