Cultivators Are So Weak in This World

Chapter 573 - 539 Renewed Scheme 1

"Amazing...!?" Zhang Rongfang saw the information displayed on the attribute panel, and even though he had anticipated it, he was still somewhat stunned.

The series of abilities of the Blood Race’s progenitor were incredibly formidable, just looking at them.

The key point was that when his focus shifted to these abilities, corresponding information would immediately be fed back to him.

The feedback indicated that these abilities were augmentative, rather than having a fixed upper or lower limit.

In other words, they continue to enhance on the existing foundation.

This was what made them truly terrifying.

Zhang Rongfang carefully committed all the abilities and information of the Blood Race’s progenitor to memory.

Only then did he slowly close the attribute panel and take a deep breath.

According to the time it takes to acquire one ability in over three months, he would need at least thirty months to fully acquire them.

In other words, nearly three years...

After doing some estimation in his mind, Zhang Rongfang understood the time he needed to wait.

In just three months and ten days, he could gain a hundred points. Specifically, there are ten abilities left that need to be completed, requiring a thousand life attribute points.

’The time isn’t long. If life continues as stable and leisurely as it is now, I should be able to reach the complete form soon.’

Looking at the series of abilities of the Blood Race’s progenitor, Zhang Rongfang wondered just how powerful he would become if he could acquire them all.

He was filled with anticipation and couldn’t wait to leap two years into the future immediately.

’Don’t rush... Right now, Yue Shi dominates the world, sweeping all opposition, and there is nothing to worry about. Even the gods have temporarily stopped interfering with my affairs because of him. Any troubles might come decades later. For now, I should handle the situation with Xue Tong first.’

The change in special talent calmed Zhang Rongfang’s speculation about the future.

Initially, he was worried about what to do if the talents that appeared were always useless.

But now it seemed that with the direction set by the bloodline, the subsequent abilities would become more and more synergized, augmenting himself.

Immediately, he composed himself and began to carefully study the changes happening within his body.

The enhancement of the life attribute increased his internal accumulation as usual.

This manifested in the expansion of the Blood Lotus and the use of the final form, enabling them to grow even larger.

And after combining the abilities into a bloodline, he gained a subtle sense of wholeness over his entire body.

Just like now, with the next ability being destructive sound waves, he could already feel changes occurring in his throat, clearly preparing for the arrival of the next ability.

Within the underground Celestial Treasure Palace.

After the Grand Sect Alliance meeting ended, representatives from various sects dispersed and left.

Zhenyi Sect, Black Ten Sect, Western Sect, Celestial Lock Teaching, and others had leaders stationed here, ready to mobilize at any moment.

Once all representatives had fully left, Yue Dewen sat alone before the Celestial Venerable’s statue, silent and still.

To ordinary people, he seemed to be merely meditating in silence.

But in the eyes of anyone well-versed in the Cultivation of Literature and Refining God, he was surrounded by countless colorful vapors, steaming from him like mist.

These vapors rose, converging a meter above his head into a black sphere adorned with countless colorful patterns.

’It’s happening again....’

Yue Dewen’s heart sank.

Since integrating the grand momentum into his spiritual field, his power had been rapidly increasing at every moment.

This was unrelated to the Spiritual Line, but purely a matter of suppressing enemies through spiritual power, rendering them unable to exert their normal strength.

Those suppressed would find their strength diminished at best, or paralyzed and unable to resist at worst.

After consolidating the grand momentum, combined with his own momentum and the backing of the gods, he could now even completely suppress a Divine General, causing them to perform abnormally.

"What a pity...."

Yue Dewen sighed lightly, reaching up to touch his nose.

A drop of bright red blood fell unnoticed.

He was having a nosebleed...

This was not the first time.

How could a Martial Arts Grandmaster, long ascended to a Spirit General through god-worship, inexplicably have nosebleeds?

It’s the kind of thing that, if spoken of, no one might believe.

But such was the reality.

The gathering of the grand momentum, he originally thought he could endure without damage. After all, compared to Damir back then, he was a Spirit General.

But reality hit him hard. Once he truly began to bear it, he realized that this grand momentum was unrelated to physical strength, but purely about the strength of spiritual will.

And in comparison to Damir’s strength of will... his own wasn’t much different.... and was even slightly weaker.

But at this point, he could no longer turn back.

Turning back meant death, meant failure, meant that all the planning and manipulation over the years would be for naught.

Therefore, he could not retreat; he had to press forward!

Composing himself, Yue Dewen stood up, the blood on his hand mysteriously wiped away at some point.

Turning around, he walked out of the temple and into the center of the vast circular array outside.

Sitting cross-legged, he gently placed a hand on the ground.

Buzz!!

The entire large array began to emit a soft white glow. This glow existed only within the spiritual field and was invisible to ordinary people.

All around the array, like mycelium, numerous strands of white vapor were continuously attracted from some unknown place.

Countless wisps of white vapor followed the array’s patterns, converging toward Yue Dewen.

At the same time, the black sphere with colored patterns above his head began frantically absorbing the converging white vapor, growing larger.

"He grows stronger and stronger...." At the periphery of the array, Daoist Qingyi and Sheng Tianyi stood side by side, observing Yue Dewen in the center.

"Extracting the endless grand momentum of the world naturally enables him to grow stronger and stronger, just like Damir back then," Sheng Tianyi said calmly.

"Perhaps it won’t be long before even the first and second Divine Generals combined won’t be his match."

"Then it will be the time for us in the Grand Sect Alliance to seize power head-on," Daoist Qingyi said gravely.

"It’s just a bit strange, up to now the Snow Rainbow Pavilion hasn’t shown any major actions..." Sheng Tianyi wondered. "Spirit Flying Heaven can’t be so dull and unresponsive."

"They thought they could remain as before, but unfortunately, Sect Leader Yue and Damir are different... Damir gave us a bright path, but as a mortal, merely mortal flesh, he could not withstand the pressure of the great trend, thus he was besieged and killed.

But Sect Leader Yue is different... He is a Spirit General, and his martial arts cultivation is on par with Damir. As a Spirit General, he can withstand much more than Damir. So..... he is now much stronger than Damir was back then!" Daoist Qingyi’s expression was calm as he spoke.

"Indeed.... there’s no one more suitable than him...." Sheng Tianyi nodded in agreement.

"We are destined to overthrow this era! End Spirit Flying Heaven’s final rule!" Daoist Qingyi whispered.

"I think so too. By the way, what’s Spirit Flying Heaven’s full name?" Sheng Tianyi suddenly asked.

"...." This question made Daoist Qingyi slightly stunned, showing a confused look.

Indeed? Spirit Flying Heaven is just a nickname given by everyone, but the true divine name is not called that.

But.... if the divine name isn’t Spirit Flying Heaven, then what is the full real name...?

Early April.

Yue Dewen fought simultaneously with the first and second Divine Generals, gaining the upper hand in a one versus two battle.

The Great Capital was in uproar, marking the beginning of the true reform of the four branches of the Great Spirit imperial family.

The Divine Generals were suppressed, and the four branches of the imperial family had no choice but to bow, along with more than a dozen Spirit People nobles in the Great Capital, they no longer resisted stubbornly.

Thus, the Grand Dao Alliance established by the Great Dao Teaching truly suppressed all situations.

A supreme power institution centered around the Grand Dao Alliance was established.

The Snow Rainbow Pavilion stepped back as the second place, declaring acceptance of the Grand Dao Alliance’s authority.

That same month, a tragedy of blood mist appeared on the frontier.

A patrol team of spirit military stationed at the border, over a hundred people, were found entirely turned into dry corpses, dead in a desolate wild gorge.

Rumors claimed it was the work of the Blood Immortal Daoist who practiced the Human Immortal Dao.

Upon receiving the news, the border army quickly formed an investigation team with experts sent by the Snow Rainbow Pavilion and the Grand Dao Alliance, tracing the clues and discovering a hidden stronghold called the Immortal Temple.

Inside the stronghold, there were more than thirty wild Daoists, all practicing the Blood Immortal Dao, and they kept commoners to draw blood from them alternately. They were all killed and executed.

The case of the Blood Immortal Dao also aroused concern from many forces towards the Human Immortal Temple.

In the wilderness of desolate mountains.

Several tall men wearing long robes, with jade ornaments at their waists, stood in front of a somewhat dilapidated Daoist temple gate. Leisurely, they fanned themselves with paper fans with calligraphy and paintings.

The few watched the numerous subordinates busily working inside the temple, a trace of an inexplicable smile on their faces.

"Is everything arranged?" the leader asked softly.

"Just about, next is to throw in those captured Bloodlines, leave some traces, and that’s it." Another laughed.

"Wang Xuedai’s plan is excellent, this time I want to see how the Human Immortal Temple can cope?" the third person laughed. "Isn’t the Grand Dao Alliance supposed to stabilize the situation and eliminate anything detrimental to the big picture? Now that the situation is escalating, they can’t just turn a blind eye, can they?"

"What if they still endure, just turning a blind eye?" the leader asked again. "After all, some people really may not care about reputation."

"Then spread it wider, make it even bigger. How can the global trend be so easily gathered? If not handled well, the trend will also weaken. Nowadays, on the battlefield, no one can match the Grand Dao Alliance head-on, so naturally, one has to turn to other sides." The third person explained.

The three academic palaces indeed dare not confront the Grand Dao Alliance directly, even Divine General’s joint efforts fall into disadvantage, a head-on clash means certain death.

But compared to frontal confrontation, they are more skilled on the other side.

"Additionally, the various local schools, and branches of the academic palaces, have all been arranged, time to promote and spread. All this Human Immortal Dao sect, are indeed nothing more than Blood Immortal wicked immortals."

In Wushan Prefecture, something happened, Chang Xueyi’s headmaster disappeared and got trapped there, now the Grand Dao Alliance is starting to cut from the roots, completely targeting their foundation.

The royal families, great Spirit People nobles, and academic palaces, are actually intertwined, deeply rooted, a trinity existence with intertwined roots.

Now the Grand Dao Alliance is continuously shaking their foundation, no one wishes to be suppressed, weakened, or removed in vain.

So... since direct confrontation doesn’t work, we shall take a different approach.

Before long, all traces inside the temple were arranged properly.

Several Spirit Guards escorted wild Daoists dressed in blood-colored robes inside.

These wild Daoists were all bound tightly, unable to escape at all. At this moment their mouths and noses were blocked, each writhing on the ground like maggots.

"These blood-sucking lice! Look at their eyes, all disgustingly red! They’re no longer human! Keeping them is a disaster!"

The leading Spirit Guard looked disgusted, accepting a torch handed by a subordinate.

"Soak them all in kerosene!"

"Understood!"

Squads quickly grabbed kerosene and drenched each person from head to toe.

"Captain, why don’t we just chop them to death?" a squad member asked in confusion.

"Very hard to chop to death. These lice have extremely strong vitality." The captain drew a sharp blade from his waist and slashed at one of them.

A Daoist’s arm was severed, but quickly, flesh tendrils and blood vessels grew from the severed end, reconnecting and healing in a few breaths.

As if it had never been cut at all.

Hiss...

The group inhaled sharply.

Such recovery speed is already comparable to a divine blessing.

The most crucial part is that divine blessings have many restrictions and require approval from various sects. Not just anyone can receive it.

But these Bloodlines....

"As long as they drain their own blood, they can give ordinary people this ability. Most importantly, they can restrain the immortality ability of divinely blessed by absorbing blood!" the captain explained.

"So, what we need to do now is to amplify and spread this ability as much as possible! Didn’t the Grand Dao Alliance want to suppress information? Didn’t Wushan Prefecture cause Headmaster Chang’s disappearance and death?

This time, let’s see how their Grand Dao Alliance deals with it!" the captain chuckled coldly.

With a smack, he threw the torch onto the wild Daoists who were writhing and rolling in front of him.

The fire suddenly spread, burning fiercely.
