Chapter 266: : The Xiahou Clan’s Secret

After listening to Xiahou Zhengde’s oral history, Lin Tianyi’s mood could not calm down for a long time.

Seeing the reaction of the Heart Questioning Stone and the expressions of the ten elders, it was known that Xiahou Zhengde was not lying.

At least in their eyes, this history is true.

Unexpectedly, the one who truly saved the Human Race from fire and water was actually the Body Cultivator who cultivated the power of Qi and Blood.

And the Martial Artists who were touted as saviors were actually a group of traitors who stole the fruits of victory.

“Why did the Qi Cultivators betray?” Although he vaguely guessed something in his heart, Lin Tianyi couldn’t help but speak.

“Power, resources! The cultivation threshold of True Force allowed them to become a privileged class, but the reality that everyone can cultivate the power of Qi and Blood made this threshold a mere formality.”

“In the early stage, the entire clan supported them, and they enjoyed massive resources, but this support was not indefinite. If they wanted to continue to occupy, or even obtain more resources, they had to prohibit the cultivation of the power of Qi and Blood and monopolize the resources in their hands.”

“But putting aside everything else, just based on the huge number of Body Cultivators, the Qi Cultivator lineage would never be a match. In this way, they could only rely on external forces, and the Exotic Beasts, which also had a large number and powerful strength, were naturally the most ideal partners.”

“But without the Body Cultivators, wouldn’t they have to face the Exotic Beasts alone?”

“When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. How could they leave the hidden danger of Exotic Beasts? The reason why they dragged on until the Exotic Beasts couldn’t hold on any longer was to consume both sides. When all the Body Cultivators have fallen, it will be the day when the Exotic Beasts disappear.”

“It’s just that the appearance of the Savior broke their plan, and the Savior’s tyrannical strength also made them afraid to act rashly.”

“You see, the Human Race is so powerful now, why are there still Exotic Beasts on every continent, and even Exotic Beast Kings rooted in the Human Race’s territory?”

“The beautiful name is to reduce sacrifices and sign a peace contract, but in fact, they are afraid that the Savior will suddenly come to their door one day!”

“With the Exotic Beast King in check, they can resist the Savior. If they don’t have their help to contain him, these Qi Cultivators are not enough for the Savior to kill alone.” After speaking, Xiahou Zhengde curled his lips with disdain.

“Why is Senior so sure?” Lin Tianyi was a little puzzled.

“Because the weapon used by the Savior is the weapon in front of you, which is specially designed to restrain the True Force of Qi Cultivators!” Xiahou Zhengde’s answer was like a thunderbolt in Lin Tianyi’s ears.

“Why does Senior know so clearly?”

“Of the Body Cultivators that the Savior took away from the battlefield, only three survived in the end, and my ancestor of the Xiahou Clan was one of them.”

Lin Tianyi’s heart trembled.

He didn’t expect that Xiahou Zhengde’s family had such a direct connection with this buried history.

So that means this history is true.

Lin Tianyi naturally thought of the Bone Forging Cultivation Method independently developed by Elder Fang and popularized throughout the Ironclad Army, and couldn’t help but be shocked, but then he relaxed.

Although there is no threshold for cultivating that set of Cultivation Method, the side effect of consuming lifespan makes it unable to pose any threat to Qi Cultivators.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianyi’s heart moved.

“Then Senior, what do you cultivate…”

“Yes, the Xiahou Clan cultivates the Body Tempering Method.” Xiahou Zhengde nodded.

“Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?” Lin Tianyi was a little confused.

Since the Body Tempering Method has become a taboo, why do the Xiahou clansmen dare to venture out and walk around in a high-profile manner, and even make a great name for themselves.

Xiahou Zhengde shook his head when he heard this: “They can’t find out!”

“Mental Strength cannot detect the realm of Qi and Blood Power, they will only mistakenly think that you are wearing a Spirit Tool that shields Mental Strength; and those Spirit Tools that can detect the realm cannot show the source of power, Qi and Blood Power and True Force are the same quality power.”

“In terms of the biggest difference in combat performance, the True Energy Armor and Spirit Tool usage that are most commonly used by Low-Level, in the current environment, no one will suspect you if you don’t use them during combat.”

“At the Seventh Rank, the way of flying in the air, which was originally the easiest to expose, has now been improved to achieve flight by resonating with the power of Qi and Blood, and it is no problem to make a fake wing through a blindfold.”

“As for the Eighth and Ninth Ranks, although they can’t use the Attribute Domain, most people at this level will be more restrained and won’t use it easily, so the chance of being discovered is very low.”

“As for anyone who suspects, just kill them quietly.” Xiahou Zhengde dusted his clothes, and the words he said casually were full of blood.

“Why did Senior tell me this?” Lin Tianyi smiled wryly.

“With your intelligence, you should have thought that the Body Tempering Art sealed in your mind is actually a Body Tempering Cultivation Method. In today’s environment, Body Cultivators are declining, so it is no exaggeration to say that all Body Cultivators in the world are one family.”

“What’s more…” Xiahou Zhengde pointed to the Long Saber in front of Lin Tianyi: “You can directly use this weapon, so I need to explain this history to you even more.”

“Junior doesn’t understand.”

“The Long Saber in Quansheng’s Greatsword is the weapon used by the Savior back then! When the ancestors recovered from their injuries, before they parted, the Savior gave each of them one of these weapons as a life-saving treasure.”

“The ancestors took the weapons and hid their names in the remote areas of the Human Race. After many years, they finally researched a method to activate the weapons, and then used them as clan-suppressing treasures to be passed down from generation to generation.”

Lin Tianyi could no longer remain calm and stood up with a whoosh.

“Don’t be impatient.” Before Lin Tianyi could speak, Xiahou Zhengde raised his hand to interrupt.

“First of all, the Savior is a Human Race. We have never encountered this Four-Armed Race. It is only recorded in a certain relic, called Extraterrestrial Visitors, and its nature is evil and bloodthirsty.”

“And your set of Cultivation Method may be related to the Savior, or it may be from the other two families.”

“Although we have activated this weapon by relying on various methods, its power is less than 50% of the original, so we have been trying to activate it directly. Maybe the other two families have improved a suitable Cultivation Method, which is unknown.”

“Where are the other two families?”

“Qing Clan of Yuanwu Continent, Yuchi Family of Xiangsha Islands.”

“So far away!” Lin Tianyi was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He thought that these three families would live nearby to facilitate contact, but he didn’t expect them to be so scattered.

“You don’t need to go there. I will contact the other two families later and ask them.”

“Later?” Lin Tianyi was stunned.

“We are not old stubborn people who stick to the old ways. True Force has great convenience in many aspects, so we must know how to make good use of it. Some talented children in the clan will be arranged to cultivate True Force.” Xiahou Zhengde said a little unhappily.

“Junior is narrow-minded.” Lin Tianyi smiled sheepishly after being seen through his thoughts by Xiahou Zhengde.

“That’s it for today, let’s talk another day. Quansheng will take you to your residence, and I will notify you when I have news.” Xiahou Zhengde waved his hand, signaling Lin Tianyi to leave.

After the Council Hall door was closed again. An elder looked around: “Do you think that what that kid used is the Savior’s inheritance?”

“I don’t know, let’s talk about it after asking the other two families.” Xiahou Zhengde shook his head.

“If it is really the Savior’s inheritance…” Another elder hesitated.

“Then give him some help appropriately.” Xiahou Zhengde directly interrupted.

“Clan Leader, the ancestors had instructions.” This elder reminded.

“So what, this kid is amazingly talented. His realm is among the best among his peers under the dual cultivation of Body and Qi, but he has not yet grown to that point after all. Moreover, we don’t know anything about his temperament and methods, so I can’t entrust the fate of my clan to him, at least that’s the decision now.” Xiahou Zhengde said decisively.

“Then how do we explain to the ancestors?” This elder was still a little worried.

“Why bother the ancestors with such a trivial matter? It’s not too late to wake them up when we really decide to serve that kid as our master.”

“Listen to the Clan Leader’s arrangements.” The elders exchanged glances for a while and responded in unison.
