Chapter 1274 - 1234: The Method of Cultivating Divinity, Building the Divine Army

Chapter 1274: Chapter 1234: The Method of Cultivating Divinity, Building the Divine Army

The grandeur of spiritual beings captivated the hearts of all warriors, immersing them in desire. Even the most eminent emperors could not escape the withering march of time, but only the spiritual beings of legend were undying and immortal!

No race lacked longing for the grand spiritual beings, and humans were naturally no exception. Occupying the vast expanses of the Human Realm, with countless Divine Sites that remained, the methods of god-making were uniquely advantageous.

In response to Xiao Chen’s words, Luo Qing and Feng Li did not conceal anything, and quickly spoke up.

"Upon the Earth of our Human Realm, the hidden Cultivation God Clans are not few, but cultivating divinity is not simple. The likelihood of a complete inheritance surviving is one in ten, due primarily to the substantial flaws in the Divine Blood Cultivation techniques. The backlash force is beyond imagination. Even for my Fire Phoenix Clan, the mortality rate among newborns bearing our bloodline is dozens or even hundreds of times higher than that of the ordinary Great Wasteland tribal people!"

Feng Li’s voice carried a tinge of sorrow. The Fire Phoenix Clan, with its illustrious reputation in the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms, faced a cruelty beyond outsiders’ imaginations.

"Even for the children who survive, avoiding the erosion of Divine Blood is not easy. Moreover, as cultivation progresses, the Divine Blood erupts violently from time to time. Of course, if one survives, strength will naturally see a significant boost. Therefore, even without much cultivation, members of my Fire Phoenix Clan can reach the Towering Realm by middle age!"

Hisss!

Xiao Chen felt a surge of excitement in his heart. No wonder the Hundred Clans of Heaven pursued the methods of Cultivating Divinity so eagerly—its might was something any power would dream of obtaining. A martial artist of the Towering Realm was nothing much to a sovereign like him!

But ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, or even ten million martial artists of the Towering Realm—even if they were all ordinary Towering Realm martial artists—what kind of terrifying force would that be!

Of course, such a cultivation method is somewhat cruel, nearly akin to the survival of the fittest with every step.

It was like walking on a narrow bridge where countless people fell, but those who crossed would reach the Towering Realm, and if they could withstand the increasingly fierce backlash of Divine Blood, their strength would surge again!

It was undoubtedly a way to rapidly expand one’s power!

"As for the Divine Cultivation Clans on the Earth of our Human Realm, apart from our four major Bloodline Families established in the four corners of the Human Realm, the most prolific area is the central lands of the Human World, where the most flourishing Divine Bloodline Family is the Heavenly Dragon Family. Their veins pulse with the blood of the ancient Heavenly Dragon, a being that stood as the equal of the Dragon Gods!"

Following closely, Luo Qing said, "The bloodline of the Heavenly Dragon is even more noble than that of my Luo Family’s Azure Dragon Bloodline. If the Heavenly Dragon is the main lineage, then my Luo Family’s Azure Dragon is merely a branch. Since the birth of the Heavenly Dragon Family, it is rumored that there has been no decline to date. However, similarly, the martial artists of the Heavenly Dragon Family suffer even more potent bloodline backlash!"

"Have you ever seen a warrior of the Heavenly Dragon Family?" Xiao Chen asked quietly.

"No, it is rumored that the descendants of the Heavenly Dragon Family are very few, barely over a dozen. However, each and every one is an unseen and formidable power, rarely leaving the central Human Realm’s Earth!"

Luo Qing spoke with a hint of fighting will. As inheritors of the Dragon God’s bloodline, there was naturally a mutual sense of rivalry!

"Apart from the illustrious Heavenly Dragon Family, there are over a dozen Divine Cultivation Clans on par with my Fire Phoenix Clan. The Divine Blood that these clans inherit emanates from some powerful divine beasts, such as the Kui Ox, and even from bloodlines of ancient evils, such as Qiong Qi and Taotie."

Feng Li’s voice followed immediately, signaling that, compared to other Divine Cultivation Clans, her Fire Phoenix Clan was so unfortunate.

"Furthermore, there are even more ordinary Divine Cultivation Clans. The Divine Blood that they initially blended into their bodies was not strong, so naturally, the bloodline backlash they endure is not severe. However, this also means that these Divine Cultivation Clans’ bloodlines wither rapidly and soon become no different than ordinary tribes and families in the Great Wasteland!"

Xiao Chen pondered and did not speak again. Suddenly, he reacted and promptly asked, "Based on what you said, the current situation of these Divine Cultivation Clans is not very good, right?"

"You could say that. Divine Cultivation Clans seem prosperous and infinite, but their rise and fall are tied to their bloodlines, born with inherent constraints. Even after their bloodlines have withered, these constraints remain. Once our God-blood Clans start to witness bloodline depletion, it’s akin to destruction, making it impossible to cultivate other forms of martial arts!"

Hum!

At that moment, Xiao Chen did not speak but instead extended a finger, sending a nine-colored divine light towards Luo Qing and Feng Li.

"This is a part of the Divine Cultivation Technique I derived from the method of god-making. Try running it and see if there are any anomalies!"

Upon receiving the Divine Cultivation Technique from Xiao Chen, the two fell into silence, beginning to comprehend what Xiao Chen transmitted!

Xiao Chen’s Divine Cultivation Technique was acquired from the Desolate God, born at a time not long after the God-Extinguishing era, emerging from the dark blood era of human lineage as a Supreme power.

Upon the Desolate Land in that era, the residual bloodlines of the spiritual beings spread everywhere; the glory of the gods still echoed across the Earth. The Desolate God created this Divine Cultivation Technique with immense fortitude, rapidly approaching the strength of the bygone spiritual beings.

This Divine Cultivation Technique was essentially a derivation of Divine Method—different in essence from the deification crafted by the Human Realm upon the Desolate Earth. One sought divinity in oneself, while the other derived power from absorbing Divine Blood.

Moreover, this age is too far removed from the time of God-Extinguishing; even with Divine Blood, the mixture is incredibly mottled. To access pure Divine Blood would require discovering some unrevealed Ancient Divine Traces.

Xiao Chen simply waited for Luo Qing and Feng Li to engage with the Cultivating Divinity Technique. In fact, the inheritance he received from the Desolate God was far more magnificent than just the Divine Cultivation Technique!

It encompassed various trials which the Desolate God faced on his path to pursue divinity, including the method of integrating Divine Blood. The Desolate God indeed attempted it, but ultimately discarded the method of cultivating through absorbing Divine Blood.

Because he was himself a divine being, why fuse with the blood of other deities? He disdained such actions!

Plainly speaking, the Desolate God’s Divine Cultivation Technique was about mastering Divine Method himself, while integrating Divine Blood meant controlling Divine Method through the bloodline contained within one’s body. The stronger the bloodline, the stronger the grasp over Divine Method—which had its significant limitations!

Once the bloodline was depleted, the control over divine power became nothing but empty words!

This was fundamentally different from the Divine Cultivation Technique that Xiao Chen had obtained.

To Xiao Chen, this legacy was like a massive treasure trove. One could only imagine the majesty of the Desolate God. Even emperors perished at his feet, let alone fathom his legacy!

The Human Race had exhausted their clan’s strength and spent endless years researching Bloodline Divine Techniques, but Xiao Chen could be said to also possess such a legacy. Perhaps it took infinite clan strength to constantly renew the Divine Blood cultivation methods, which were even more detailed and complicated than those in Xiao Chen’s mind.

But for Xiao Chen, this was still an immense opportunity, signifying that he could also create gods, forging a Divine Army composed entirely of Cultivating Divinity warriors!

In this regard, he had an innate advantage. He possessed the inheritance from the Desolate God. Previously, he had not considered this, but his journey to the Southern Desolate Land had enlightened him!

He wanted to create a Divine Army!

To become the guard corps under the Saint Child of Eastern Wasteland!

With the help of the marvelous mystery of Cultivating Divinity, rapidly expand his power!

Hum!

Vast divine power began to surge around Luo Qing and Feng Li, even accompanied by the sounds of dragons and phoenixes.

The phantoms of the Azure Dragon and the Fire Phoenix manifested repeatedly. In his perception, there were faint increases in the aura on both of them, indicating that this part of the Divine Cultivation Technique had an effect on them!

Huff!

Finally, the vast divine power in front of them dissipated. Luo Qing and Feng Li opened their eyes, capturing the shock in each other’s gaze.

How was this possible!

The God-blood Clans’ methods of cultivating divinity were uniquely created based on the bloodlines inherited within their bodies; they were fundamentally incompatible between clans. Yet, the Divine Cultivation scripture Xiao Chen had given them was universally applicable.

This was not to say that it had replaced the Divine Techniques of their respective clans. Instead, it was a method that could stabilize and even continuously stimulate their bloodlines.

Such methods existed within their own clans, but they were uniquely tailored to the divine power of their bloodlines, only suitable for cultivating the same kind of divine power.

"How does this technique fare?"

Xiao Chen asked lightly as he saw the two awaken.

"It is ingeniously exquisite, and it can even purify the divine blood within our bodies!"

"Not only that, but it can also stabilize the divine blood and rejuvenate the waning divine blood. For those Cultivating Divinity whose bloodlines have dried up, it is a supreme miraculous method!"

Luo Qing and Feng Li promptly responded.

"If this Divine Method is used by me, can those of the Cultivation God Clan, whose bloodlines have dried up or are about to dry up, come under my command?"

Xiao Chen’s voice rose once more!

Luo Qing and Feng Li exchanged another glance, and then Luo Qing spoke, "They won’t be able to resist the temptation of such a mysterious method!"

Only those of Cultivating Divinity would understand: bloodline backlash was frightening, but once a bloodline dried up, their fate was worse than death!

Bloodline depletion meant the inability to wield divine power, but it did not release them from the shackles of the bloodline. Instead, it became their imprisonment, preventing them from wielding Divine Methods or cultivating Martial Arts!

In the Desolate Wilds, being unable to cultivate Divine Techniques or Martial Arts made one a cripple!

And for a cripple in the Desolate Wilds, one could only imagine the inevitable outcome!

A miraculous method like Xiao Chen’s, capable of stimulating depleted bloodlines to revitalize, would definitely make them want it at all costs!

For a warrior, being unable to cultivate was worse than death, and to cultivate, they were willing to pay any price!

"Good!" Xiao Chen agreed, and then promptly added, "Since you two are now under my command, this task will be entrusted to you after we return to the Southern Desolate Land!"

"Yes!" Luo Qing and Feng Li accepted the command.
