Chapter 646: Yin Sha, Yang Gang

Even if the physical body is trained to the extreme of mortals, it is impossible to even get close to the weakest alien beasts. Some people attempt to use the bodies of alien beasts, long since killed by the noble families, clan leaders, elders, and direct bloodline disciples of the human race, for transplantation and drinking their blood. However, they either die from excessive blood loss or go mad from integrating with the alien beast's body.

Even if they gain some extraordinary abilities through implanting alien beast bodies, and can even wield the alien beasts' innate divine abilities, this mental confusion, coupled with the great loss of lifespan due to reckless integration, and the fact that this method of promoting bloodlines only allows them to live for less than ten days after transplantation, makes it completely useless.

While there were some achievements, they can also be considered failures, almost equivalent to no achievements.

Instead, some progress was made in absorbing the malevolent energy from within alien beasts.

Collecting various malevolent energies emanating from different alien beasts, tempering them in a certain proportion, and then going through various processes to purify their energy, eventually forming various pills composed of malevolent energy. By consuming these pills, one could gain some extraordinary abilities. This was the achievement researched by hundreds of commoner humans.

Of course, during the collection, some were trampled to death by alien beasts. The tempering of different malevolent energies was unstable, leading to a large explosion when condensing into pills, and they were blown to death.

Or, after taking the pills, they discovered that the pills had become poisons. The commoners did not gain extraordinary abilities but were directly poisoned to death, or became permanently disabled. These were the sacrifices made by the pioneers who researched new cultivation systems.

Of the hundreds of pioneers who researched the initial results of the immortal path, no more than twenty survived. The rest either became lunatics or crippled individuals unable to walk.

Only twenty people succeeded. They could freeze water with a wave of their hand and make fire burn trees.

Their strength had increased.

However, they discovered that the extraordinary abilities they gained did not truly enhance their bloodline level.

The original intention of the pioneers was to research methods to supplement their own bloodlines and improve their bloodline grades.

But they stumbled upon a method that could increase strength without relying on their own bloodlines.

Within their bodies, there was a power that did not belong to their bloodline.

This power was called "Qi" by them.

Thus, the immortal path was born.

The remaining twenty pioneers deeply felt the difficulty of exploring the immortal path. With only a few dozen of them, it was impossible to explore the immortal path for long.

Let alone exploring the immortal path to its extreme, they couldn't even gain greater power and enter the next stage.

Therefore, the pioneers began to spread the immortal path in various tribes, increasing the number of people who cultivated the immortal path.

The immortal path could increase strength, which was very attractive to commoners with no path to advancement. Thus, it quickly snowballed, and more commoner humans from various tribes, and even some collateral branches with bloodline abilities, joined the immortal path.

Gradually, the number of people practicing the immortal path increased, and more results were explored.

With the壮大 of the immortal path and the increase in numbers, the position of "Dao Preacher" was created, with the intention of allowing more humans to cultivate the immortal path.

The immortal path community knew that only by increasing the number of cultivators would it benefit the cultivator community more and make the overall strength of cultivators stronger.

With only twenty pioneers, it was impossible to develop a complete system or create a complete cultivation system independently.

Under these circumstances, the position of Dao Preacher was also born.

Their responsibility was to travel to the various tribes of the human race and spread the glory of the immortal path.

Mo was such a Dao Preacher.

Upon arriving at the Qingyang Tribe, his original intention was to spread the immortal path. Therefore, when Quan asked him how he obtained his strength, Mo frankly stated that it was the result of cultivating the immortal path.

Mo intended to guide Quan into the immortal path.

And Quan also intended to join the immortal path.

The human race's bloodlines were divided into twenty-one grades.

Taking the Qingyang Tribe as an example.

Those who could reach bloodline concentrations of grade nineteen and twenty were far from being considered nobles, nor could they be called direct bloodlines. They could only be said to be one level higher than commoners.

Many commoners were under the control of these humans with grade nineteen and twenty bloodlines, and generally, they held a dominant position in the tribe.

Those who were stronger, reaching a bloodline concentration of grade sixteen, could already be called nobles.

Many elders of the Qingyang Tribe were such nobles, capable of easily killing powerful alien beasts. However, a bloodline concentration of grade sixteen was undoubtedly the lowest among nobles.

The fifteenth generation clan leader had a bloodline concentration of grade fourteen. This might only be considered a country bumpkin in the northern human strongholds, but in a desolate place like Datingshan, it could already be considered top-tier.

Quan, within the twenty-one grade division of bloodlines, did not even qualify for the twenty-first grade bloodline. He was someone who had truly lost all bloodline abilities.

Although he yearned to escape his fate, his aspirations were not high. His fantasies did not reach the level of the nobles like the elders and clan leaders of the Qingyang Tribe. He merely wanted to be comparable to those with grade nineteen and twenty bloodlines, to become someone who could rule over many commoners, yet not be considered a noble.

Quan told Mo of his thoughts, and Mo was not surprised. Most pioneers also only aspired to become comparable to those with grade nineteen and twenty bloodline abilities. In the beginning, people often did not inject too many fantasies into the cultivation path they opened.

However, as the number of cultivators increased, the cultivator community began to have more pursuit of interests, no longer satisfied with the initial goals of the pioneers.

Mo then told Quan that the earliest cultivation involved merely tempering various malevolent energies, proportioning them, and then refining them into pills with a high success rate and no side effects, ultimately allowing oneself to possess an extraordinary ability.

Later, through the research of many cultivators, the integrated malevolent energies were further graded and classified.

The malevolent energies from different alien beasts, the malevolent energies from different ferocious beasts, and the combination of different malevolent energies, resulted in pills that enhanced strength to varying degrees.

This initial entry-level realm was called the Yin Sha Realm.

In the Yin Sha Realm, one could condense the innate divine abilities of different alien beasts and refine them into divine ability seeds, which could be directly activated to fight when encountering enemies.

This standardized realm was much stronger than the pioneers of the earliest times who could only spew fire and water based on the attributes of malevolent energy.

The pioneers, being simple, had no divine ability seeds to use. This was the perfected cultivation path opened up by numerous cultivators.
