Chapter 946 942: The Cruel Truth
As Ye Chen was refining the Clear Spirit Pill, rumors about him had already spread throughout the Southern Heaven Domain, causing a major upheaval.
After all, within the entire Southern Heaven Domain, there were very few prodigies capable of killing quasi-divine progeny's offspring.
Aside from some exceptionally talented individuals from Ziwei Sacred Land and the nine Divine Spirit Families, almost no one could accomplish such a feat.
Therefore, Ye Chen quickly rose to fame, becoming a new dark horse among the younger generation.
"I've heard that this Ye Chen is a renegade of the Divine Spirit Family's Ye Clan, unable to awaken his bloodline. Yet due to some stroke of fortune, he suddenly became so powerful!"
"What? Unable to awaken his bloodline, he could still slay the quasi-divine progeny of the Dragon Race? That's simply a miracle." Discussions among experts arose throughout the Southern Heaven Domain.
Many people even suspected the news was fake.
After all, in most cultivators' perception, only those who awakened a heaven-defying bloodline possessed the ability to rival the quasi-divine progeny.
For those unable to awaken their bloodline, their lives were seemingly worthless, certainly unable to achieve anything significant.
Yet now, Ye Chen's achievements completely shattered the norm, making it hard for many to accept.
"You're really too uninformed. Bloodlines actually do not represent everything. In the Human King Hall, there are some exceptionally talented individuals who have completely transformed into pure-blood humans, unable to use bloodline power anymore.
Yet they still possess terrifying strength, even stronger than the disciples of the Five Great Sacred Lands." An experienced elder couldn't help but express.
These elders are knowledgeable individuals, unlike ordinary cultivators who are ignorant and uninformed.
They even know that pure-blood humans are actually the strongest human race in All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
As for themselves, the mixed-blood humans, no matter how heaven-defying their internal bloodline is, they will never gain the acknowledgment of pure-blood humans.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have had to hide in the Yellow Cloud World's Abandoned Land all this time.
"What? I've never heard of such a thing before. I thought awakened bloodline humans are the strongest?"
"Damn it! Could it be that we've lived in deception from childhood to now?" Many hearing this perspective for the first time showed extreme displeasure on their faces, even starting to question their lives.
"Alas! We acted this way to prevent you from being hurt, but now, the extrinsic races have begun invading the Yellow Cloud World. These things will be exposed sooner or later. There's no harm in letting you know now." Those elders informed of the truth sighed collectively.
Presently, the extrinsic races have begun a large-scale invasion of the Yellow Cloud World, and many secrets simply cannot be hidden.
Sooner or later, Yellow Cloud World's cultivators will all come to realize that they are the mixed-blood humans abandoned by the pure-blood humans.
Although this truth is indeed cruel, eventually they would have to face it.
Rather than waiting, it's better to tell them now.
"We always believed that bloodlines were the strongest, yet all of this turned out to be a lie. That's truly a huge irony!" Many young cultivators showed a bitter smile on their faces.
Especially those who once ridiculed Ye Chen as a worthless person, feeling particularly embarrassed now.
As it turns out, the real jesters were them.
"However, you don't need to undervalue yourselves. Not all pure-blood humans are that powerful. Normally, we mixed-blood humans still have the advantage.
As for Ye Chen, his strength likely comes from a special physique, which even among pure-blood humans is a rare occurrence, not to mention us mixed-blood humans." An elder couldn't help but comfort everyone.
In fact, awakened bloodline mixed-blood humans indeed are much stronger than ordinary pure-blood humans.
Ordinary pure-blood humans are almost powerless.
While mixed-blood humans can use their internal bloodline to unleash combat power far beyond that of pure-blood humans.
Unfortunately, everything has advantages and disadvantages.
Mixed-blood humans, influenced by another internal bloodline, have their potential greatly surpassed by pure-blood humans.
Moreover, many cultivation techniques and traditions created by pure-blood humans cannot be cultivated by mixed-blood humans.
Consequently, with continuous cultivation improvement, mixed-blood humans are typically surpassed by those naturally gifted pure-blood humans.
The advantage of bloodlines, instead, becomes their shackle.
That's why mixed-blood humans with strong bloodlines desperately try to increase their internal bloodline concentration.
Only by increasing their internal bloodline concentration to the ten-star level, and completely transforming into another race, can they break this shackle.
Otherwise, it is exceedingly difficult for them to become Divine Spirits within this lifetime.
Of course, some mixed-blood humans realized this very early on.
Therefore, they decisively chose a completely different path, figuring out a way to transform themselves into pure-blood humans.
The Human King Hall has this method.
This is also the reason they can attract some human race geniuses.
Because these human race geniuses all want to become pure-blood humans.
"Hmph! I still believe bloodlines are the strongest. I don't believe Ye Chen can rival those prodigies with celestial-grade first-grade bloodlines." Someone said defiantly.
Awakened celestial-grade first-grade bloodlines are exceedingly rare in the Yellow Cloud World, as rare as phoenix feathers, yet there are still a few.
For example, within the Divine Spirit Family's Ye Clan, there was once a prodigy born with the Phoenix Bloodline.
The Phoenix Bloodline is a celestial-grade first-grade bloodline, far more terrifying than ordinary Phoenix Race bloodlines.
No matter how strong Ye Chen is, he absolutely cannot be their match.
"That's true, the legend says the founder of the Ye Clan awakened the Phoenix Bloodline and cultivated it to a ten-star concentration, completely transforming into the Phoenix Race, becoming a Divine Spirit. However, how many children of destiny can there be!" An elder sighed.
They never denied that mixed-blood humans also have some incredibly heaven-defying individuals, but compared to pure-blood humans, their number is just too low.
They will never become mainstream; otherwise, there would be no need to transform into another race.
"Ye Chen killed the elders of the Ye Clan and Ji Race, they definitely won't let this go.
Perhaps one day, we'll witness Ye Chen battling against the prodigies of these two Divine Spirit Families.
By then, we'll know who is truly stronger." Someone's eyes showed deep anticipation.
As a mixed-blood human, they still hope their kind can crush everything.
Otherwise, their long-held beliefs may collapse.
