Chapter 675 - 206: Skylark’s Transaction
But, pay attention!
Because Zhang the Third, the golden-haired one, is a canine, the Heavenly Dao’s favor brought by Zhang is limited to ’Canine’.
For instance, a Husky, an Alaskan, a German Shepherd, or a Grey Wolf and the like, all these Demon Cultivators, while absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the Heavenly Dao would give them some leniency.
If you are a fat orange cat, the Heavenly Dao won’t even glance at you—because you’re a feline.
The halo fought for by the canine Demon Ancestors won’t shine on you!
"I only remember, even within the Demon Race, not every species among them has Demon Ancestors.
Because the Saint Position is limited, not all species have produced Venerables.
Any species that produced a Venerable has the qualification to be favored by the Heavenly Dao, and among all Demon Races, it seems only a few species have produced Venerables, not all Demon Races can benefit from this.
And any species that has produced a Venerable is then categorized as ’Upper Race’ within the Demon Race, others are called Lower Race.
Those Upper Races, during cultivation, find it somewhat easier than normal demons, extracting fate, absorbing Primordial Qi, and advancing through Realm Breakthroughs, with some minor advantages.
This is the meaning of ’Demon Ancestors’."
"The minor advantages you mentioned... what are they?" Chen Yan asked.
The little girl tightened her expression and said solemnly, "There is a limited number of Saint Positions! You know this, right."
Chen Yan nodded.
In the Domain Realm, there are only forty-two Saint Positions.
Unless a Venerable above passes away, no matter how many Primordial Spirit Realm Great Perfection Half-Step Venerables like the little girl there are below, they can’t ascend, not for lack of ability, nor for lack of talent, but because the positions are filled.
"However, when a vacancy appears in the Saint Positions, those Demon Cultivators with Demon Ancestor bloodline advance preferentially, chosen first by the Heavenly Dao as new Saint Tier Venerables.
In other words, when a Saint Position becomes available.
Just when two Primordial Spirit Realm Great Perfection Half-Step Venerables try to breakthrough to the Venerable Realm.
One is a Pipixia, the other is a canine—a canine like the respected Zhang the Third, right?
Then, the Pipixia guy will definitely fail in breaking through! Because under the same conditions, the Heavenly Dao will prioritize the Upper Race!"
This benefit is not small!
After all, producing one Venerable can benefit the entire species.
Having heard this, Chen Yan asked, "You’ve explained what a Demon Ancestor is, but what does the Demon Ancestor bloodline mean..."
"Just the descendants linked to that Zhang the Third, the golden-haired Venerable." The little girl pouted, "If you encounter a Demon Race with an ancestral bloodline, it means an ancestor in its lineage was once a Venerable or higher big shot."
"Then, how can an ancestral bloodline be identified?"
"Humans can’t tell." The little girl shook her head, "Even ordinary Demons, just those of the Lower Race, can’t perceive it.
Only Demons with Upper Race bloodlines, with decent cultivation talents, seem to sense when in contact with a Demon possessing ancestral bloodline."
"Even if they are not of the same species, is that possible?" Chen Yan asked, "For example, can a Pipixia demon sense an ancestral bloodline in a Pleasant Goat Demon?"
"It can, as long as there had been a Venerable Saint Tier in Pipixia, and if the Pipixia demon’s own cultivation talent is decent, it can sense it."
The little girl spoke, her face showing a sly smile as she looked at Chen Yan: "After explaining so much, you’ve encountered a Demon Race with ancestral bloodline, right?"
"Hmm..." Chen Yan frowned.
"Alright, no need to keep secrets, I’ve shared a lot of useful information with you, and I’ve helped you quite a bit usually, so you should help me with one thing."
"What?"
"With the Demon Race with ancestral bloodline you found—assist me by extracting some blood for me."
With that, the little girl waved her hand, and a porcelain bottle appeared in her palm.
The porcelain bottle isn’t large, Chen Yan looked at it and estimated it could be filled with just one syringe.
It’s only about a few dozen milliliters.
"What do you want the Demon Ancestor bloodline blood for?"
The little girl sighed, "Want to break through."
She spoke softly, "I’m a Skylark, and... well, let’s just say I’m a bird. But we birds are not an Upper Race, never having produced a Venerable, so I can study Demon Ancestor bloodlines, hoping to find a way to glimpse the Heavenly Dao’s Life Chart fusion method..."
Saying this, the little girl looked at Chen Yan, and her tone and expression turned serious as she said, "Chen Yan, this matter is quite important to me!"
"...Alright." Chen Yan slowly nodded in agreement.
Yeah, extracting a syringe of blood from Big White, just a few dozen milliliters, should... not be a major issue.
Back when they hunted beasts at Evil Land Mountain together, Big White got injured, a beast’s fang pierced through its belly, and later in fights got bitten and whatnot.
At the time, the blood flowed, several hundred milliliters flowed...
Now extracting a few dozen milliliters, it should agree, right?
If not, maybe prepare a stew with two hundred pounds of pig liver to replenish it?
"You’ve agreed?" The little girl suddenly jumped down from the flower bed, staring into Chen Yan’s eyes, taking a deep breath: "Are you sure you can do this for me?"
Chen Yan slowly said, "I’ve agreed, this matter shouldn’t be a problem."
"Okay, Chen Yan!" The little girl’s eyes sparkled with a glimmer, she said softly, "I know you have your secrets too, I won’t probe your secrets, nor will I ask where you found the Demon Ancestor bloodline!
But, as long as you do this for me, I will owe you a big favor!"
