Chapter 1014: Anyone Is More Qualified Than You
"Yukong Bloodline?" Xiao Yi frowned upon hearing the deacons' words.
"Bloodline Power?" Xiao Yi muttered to himself.
About bloodline power, it was only the last time he accidentally saw it while looking through materials in the Scrolls Room of the Demon Hunting Hall.
The word bloodline requires no more explanation.
And the reason for its existence comes from ancestors.
Some Martial Arts Great Powers possess immense strength, controlling an impressive number of complete martial arts paths.
It's necessary to understand that this world exists because of the Heaven and Earth Rules.
Everything in the world possesses its martial arts, also because of this Heaven and Earth Martial Arts, thus they exist.
In simpler terms, the countless martial arts possessed by all things in the world together form the Heaven and Earth Rules.
Some Martial Arts Great Powers, due to their control over enough complete martial arts, possess certain unfathomable abilities.
In one aspect, the means these great powers possess are equivalent to the Heaven and Earth Rules.
Heaven and Earth Martial Arts are firmly controlled in the Small World.
Even if these great powers die, these myriad complete martial arts will take an exceedingly long time to dissipate.
This exceedingly long time can easily last ten thousand years or even longer.
Bloodline exists because of the complete martial arts they once controlled and thus remains.
The descendants of these great powers also possess these bloodlines and unfathomable powers as a result.
Or simply put, a great Martial Arts power with immense strength grants protection to their descendants.
For example, Sikong Yu must have had a Martial Arts Great Power specializing in Formation in his ancestors.
Moreover, due to the different martial arts controlled by ancestral great powers, there are many kinds of bloodlines.
Bloodline power doesn't have to be identical to the martial arts or means of the ancestor, but it must be related.
The Yukong Bloodline is one such type.
This bloodline is not only suited for formation arts, but more accurately, for Space Dao or Wind Dao.
Furthermore, bloodline power contains extremely astonishing power.
That is what the ancestral great powers left behind.
Once activated, its power is unfathomable.
Another thing is that bloodline power needs awakening.
It's the bloodline left by ancestors, with only a trace existing in the blood of descendants, thus requiring awakening.
Perhaps among the ancestors of a martial artist, there was once a Martial Arts Great Power.
But if the martial artist cannot awaken, they cannot possess it.
This makes bloodline power extremely rare, far rarer than the Taoist Body.
Moreover, those who possess bloodlines and awaken them must be supreme geniuses among thousands.
Even though the ancestral bloodline left is strong, and ancestors left protection, without ability, one cannot possess it.
Only those with supreme talent can awaken their bloodline.
That is to say, Sikong Yu not only had a Martial Arts Great Power in formation arts among his ancestors.
He himself is also a martial artist with supreme talent.
Xiao Yi suddenly understood, no wonder the last part of the sixth exam tested which force the martial artist came from.
Generally, strong forces in the Central Region must have had Martial Arts Great Powers in their history.
The Heavenly Hidden Academy's action was to see if the martial artists participating in the assessment had the possibility of possessing bloodlines.
Regarding bloodline power, Xiao Yi only had a general understanding and didn't know much more in-depth information.
Furthermore, as far as he knew, the great powers capable of leaving a bloodline had extremely terrifying cultivation.
At least those at the peak of the Saint King Realm couldn't leave a bloodline.
So, where did Sikong Yu come from?
Xiao Yi hadn't heard of any major force with the surname Sikong in the Central Region.
At this moment, Fang Shushu nearby smirked and said, "No wonder Sikong Yu is so arrogant, he has awakened his bloodline power."
Xiao Yi glanced at Fang Shushu, "Do you know about bloodline power?"
"Of course." Fang Shushu said proudly, "I told you, I'm Fang Shushu, well-read and knowledgeable..."
"Enough." Xiao Yi shook his head, "Forget it, I won't ask, let's finish the evaluation first."
"That's fine too." Fang Shushu nodded.
"Alright, in this battle, Sikong Yu wins." Deacon Youu announced loudly.
"Next, who will challenge?"
"Wait." At this moment, a deacon beside Deacon Youu stood up.
This deacon was the one who had been looking at Sikong Yu with admiration earlier.
If there's no mistake, he's the Sky-reaching Peak Steward.
"What?" Deacon Youu looked at the Sky-reaching Peak Steward with confusion.
The Sky-reaching Peak Steward smiled and said, "Before the next challenge, I have some small matters to address."
As he spoke, the Sky-reaching Peak Steward looked at Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi, is it?" The Sky-reaching Peak Steward said with a smile.
"Yes, may I ask what senior wants?" Xiao Yi asked, puzzled.
"Hehe." The Sky-reaching Peak Steward laughed, "Are you willing to join my Sky-reaching Peak?"
"This..." Xiao Yi hesitated and said, "I haven't passed the assessment yet, so I haven't considered..."
The Sky-reaching Peak Steward interrupted, "No need to pass the assessment. Before I came, the Sky-reaching Peak elder ordered that if you are willing to join, you can join directly without assessment."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi looked puzzled.
Xiao Yi was confused, but the next second, the Sky-reaching Peak Steward's next words made him understand.
"Of course, there's a condition." The Sky-reaching Peak Steward smiled, "You need to hand over the Sky-reaching Jade."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned, "Why?"
His intuition told him this Sky-reaching Peak Steward was up to no good.
"It's simple." The Sky-reaching Peak Steward held a scroll in his hand, "Xiao Yi, comprehensive evaluation High Grade Third Class, the lowest among the High Grade evaluations."
"First test, Low Grade First Class; third test, Mid-grade First Rank; fifth test, directly 0 points, no evaluation."
The fifth test was the Taoist Body test.
Since Xiao Yi didn't have a Taoist Body, naturally it was 0 points, no evaluation.
"So what?" Xiao Yi frowned tightly.
"So what?" The Sky-reaching Peak Steward said with a playful smile, "Look at these 12 heavenly talents here, no, including those hundreds of heavenly talents who previously challenged the Outer Disciples and won."
"Which one of them has a Mid-grade evaluation or even a Low-grade evaluation?"
"Which one's comprehensive evaluation is not at least High Grade First Class?"
The few hundred heavenly talents who previously challenged and won against the Outer Disciples were all High Grade First Class by comprehensive evaluation.
While Sikong Yu and the other 11 were all top-grade above comprehensive evaluation.
"Do you think you have the qualifications to possess my Sky-reaching Peak's supreme treasure, the Sky-reaching Jade?" The Sky-reaching Peak Steward stared at Xiao Yi and asked coldly.
Xiao Yi heard this and his expression turned cold, "May I ask the steward, what qualifies as having the qualifications?"
The Sky-reaching Peak Steward snorted coldly, "What constitutes having the qualifications, I dare not say."
"But, anyone from my Sky-reaching Peak has more qualifications than you."
"Also, don't think I'm targeting you."
"Do you think with your High Grade Third Class comprehensive evaluation, you have the ability to pass the third stage of the assessment?"
...
Second update.
