Chapter 422: Chapter 317: Hatred! The Origin of Two Bloodlines_2

[If you are neither from the Human Race nor the Demon Race, from a third-party perspective, the actions of the Human Race and Demon Race are the same.]

[But you are ultimately a member of the Human Race…]

“If I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t care.”

“Since I have seen it, I cannot ignore it.”

Xiang Wuji took a half step forward, but then withdrew it.

He couldn’t manage, nor did he have the right to interfere.

Even if Xiang Wuji used his identity to threaten and liberated the Human Circle.

But throughout the Demon Realm, how many Human Circles are there within the two major states?

As long as the Demon Race exists for a day, so too will the Human Circle.

And the means of the Demon Race are all learned from the Human Race. In those Beast Taming sects, if you ignore race, those cultivators are even more ruthless than Demon Cultivators.

Those Spirit Beasts, even the worst have the intelligence of an eight or nine-year-old child, they can’t be considered beasts.

However, Xiang Wuji still ultimately sides with the Human Race.

[You erupted with your aura, destroyed the cages here, and led these cultivators away from the Celestial Fox Race to the border.]

[All the cultivators were deeply grateful to you, but you said nothing.]

[You gifted pills to those less severely injured cultivators, helping them recover their cultivation so they could return to the Human Race with their peers.]

[Those whom you saved inquired about your origins, but you did not respond.]

[You returned to the Celestial Fox Race, compensated them with a large sum of Spirit Stones, and then went into seclusion, sensing something vaguely.]

Jiang Ming watched as subtitles flashed across the golden scroll.

He sighed inwardly.

This is the real world.

The Human Race and Demon Race perhaps have no right or wrong, it’s merely the law of the jungle they abide by.

It’s just that Jiang Ming is of the Human Race, which means he stands from the Human Race’s perspective, naturally seeing the Demon Race as utmost evil.

If it were him, Jiang Ming, in that dungeon, or if it were Sword Master Pei Min in that dungeon.

They would have already slashed the shackles with a sword, fighting for the Human Race.

Because the Human Race is who gave them life and raised them.

Xiang Wuji, however, is different; he has half Demon Blood in his veins and has deep connections with the Demon Race in his upbringing.

He can only do so much.

In Jiang Ming’s past life, there was an ancient saying: A gentleman stays away from the kitchen.

In life, there are often two difficult choices, one cannot cling to just one aspect.

Seeing killing, one may feel compassion; growth requires nourishment, all driven by nature, what’s wrong with that?

This applies to cultivators as well. Perhaps some cannot bear to slaughter demon beasts, yet their cultivation requires pills and artifacts made from demon beasts.

[The prior storm passed by like a trivial matter.]

[Su Jiuzhuo personally came to investigate upon hearing of it, and after finding no major issues, said nothing more.]

[In the 12,032nd year of the Changtian Calendar, the Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool officially opened.]

[Hundreds of tribes from the Demon Realm sent their True Blood to participate in the Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool.]

[Su Jiuzhuo and another Demon God Elder of the Celestial Fox Race brought you to the Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool, where you found a field of white light, beyond even your Divine Sense’s ability to penetrate.]

[You stepped into the Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool.]

The Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool, as the name suggests, is a pool.

Only, inside is not water, but light.

One by one, the True Blood Prides were tossed in like dumplings.

Xiang Wuji was among them.

At the instant of entering the pool, Xiang Wuji’s body was encased in a field of light.

“Bloodline affinity, Bai Ze!”

“Activate remaining Divine Thought, Divine Thought affinity: Great Saint Bai Ze.”

An emotionless mechanical voice rang in Xiang Wuji’s ears.

The Qi Fortune of the Divine Beast is extraordinary.

Even in ancient times.

Each generation could only have one pureblood Divine Beast, akin to a sole lineage.

Each pureblood Divine Beast is honored with the title of Great Saint.

Great Saint Bai Ze, Cyan Dragon Great Saint, Candle Dragon Great Saint, etc.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed.

The color of heaven and earth altered.

The earth became desolate, not with the vitality of primordial wasteland, but the desolation of complete destruction, with faint remnants of various ruins, buildings, human, and other creatures…

The sky broke open with a gigantic hole, nearly mist-like Spiritual Qi pouring frantically from the opening.

In the sky, there was a huge hole, beyond which was pure black.

Xiang Wuji’s pupils contracted.

This scene.

He was familiar with it, it was the scenario he encountered when the Bai Ze Demon Body awakened.

This scene, Xiang Wuji had experienced twice.

The earth began to tremble.

A gigantic beast tore through space, soaring into the skies.

With a white mane and a dragon’s head, its four feet tread on the clouds, surrounded by the phenomenon of colorful flowing light.

Great Saint Bai Ze!

The era of Great Saint Bai Ze, that was when pureblood Divine Beasts still roamed the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, an era when the Human Race was beginning to rise.

In that era, Emperor Yu had yet to separate Jiuzhou, which was still one vast Barbaric Continent.

Most records of that era had long been obliterated in the River of Time, even those Ancient Immortals possibly rarely achieved immortality in that era.

Bai Ze was about to retreat into the darkness of the great celestial mouth.

Yet he noticed Xiang Wuji’s presence.

He transformed into human form before Xiang Wuji.

The appearance of Great Saint Bai Ze in human form bore a slight resemblance to Xiang Wuji’s fully awakened Demon Body.

White brows, white hair, surrounded by an exceptionally ethereal aura.

“Are you my descendant?”

A color indescribable flashed in the eyes of Great Saint Bai Ze, as if the River of Time fragmented before his gaze.

Xiang Wuji merely met his gaze, his mind on the verge of explosion.

“Hmm?”

Great Saint Bai Ze’s whole body trembled, then he looked at Xiang Wuji with some surprise.

He suddenly burst into hearty laughter.

“So, you’re an anomaly.”

“How splendid!”

Great Saint Bai Ze waved his hand.

“Consider this drop of True Blood as my gift to you.”

Xiang Wuji was puzzled. He already had the Bai Ze Demon Body, this drop of True Blood would only increase the concentration of his Demon Body, not a fundamental change.

Yet Great Saint Bai Ze seemed exceptionally earnest.

………………………

In the Simulation Space.

Jiang Ming’s whole body shuddered.

He touched his heart in disbelief.

A familiar yet strange power coursed through his body…

………………………

“You hold other inheritances, and already lack nothing in Divine Techniques.”

“I shall gift you the refining method of the Five Elements Grand Encompassing Smoke, most suited to you, capable of protecting your life in the future.”

Great Saint Bai Ze spoke calmly, without mentioning anything said before.

Xiang Wuji could feel the drop of True Blood integrating into his body.

Simultaneously, the refining method of the Five Elements Grand Encompassing Smoke appeared in his mind, a method completely different from modern artifact refining.

Xiang Wuji was nearly drawn into its mysteries.

Xiang Wuji immediately offered his thanks, but he found it strange; wasn’t it supposed to require trials and tests after reaching the Celestial Pool to receive the bloodline origin’s gift?

Great Saint Bai Ze seemed to see Xiang Wuji’s thoughts.

He just shook his head.

Then flew towards the rent in the sky.

Xiang Wuji stood there stunned for a long time.

Eventually, a point of white light appeared in the sky.

A scroll slowly unfurled.

Behind it were two now incomprehensible mysterious cultivation characters.

“God”

“Demon”

This object, upon unrolling, swallowed the black hole in the sky.

The world calmed once more.

Just as Xiang Wuji had seen before.

Only now, he could see more.

He could see.

Cracks appeared on the God-Demon List…

With a flash before his eyes, Xiang Wuji returned to the Celestial Pool.

Just as he thought he was about to leave.

The mechanical voice sounded again.

“Bloodline affinity, Undefeated Demon Blood!”

“Activate remaining Divine Thought, Divine Thought affinity: Mara.”

Xiang Wuji’s pupils contracted.

Undefeated Demon Blood!?

This Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool even has an effect on the Undefeated Demon Blood.

And that Mara… the first Blood Lord…
