Master of Strange Dao

The Cloud Whale said, unlocking the shackles sealed within the bloodline and awakening the heritage of the Ancient Demon within, it would definitely be different from the current demons.

Not the kind of beasts consuming raw meat and blood with mere strength, but a form of intelligent living beings, or rather, a large collection of different races.

The heritage of demons and that of humans follow entirely different paths, the initial concepts are distinct.

The heritage of demons is hidden within the bloodline, no matter how diluted, even if it is impossible to awaken the power, and many with such a bloodline are just ordinary beasts without spiritual wisdom.

But as long as the right conditions are met, the information, wisdom hidden in the bloodline will awaken, and the accompanying power will also emerge.

However, the human race does not use bloodline inheritance, it is carried through various means with words for inheritance.

Because the human leaders of the past hoped to see the clash of different ideas and inspirations to gain new knowledge.

Moreover, they didn't want future generations to acquire power effortlessly as it would be meaningless to the human race.

At that time, they foresaw what direct transmission of power might result in.

It would only be that the earlier, the stronger, the older, the stronger, and future generations would only weaken, never surpassing their ancestors.

Having inheritance without power allows the forward-looking youths to have hope in charting their path, a stronger path on the foundation of predecessors.

In different eras, facing different challenges, it forces the youths to carve out the most suitable path.

For ancestors could not pre-solve every difficulty.

It was precisely this divergence in the core issue of inheritance between the human and demon clans thousands of years ago that led to entirely different outcomes.

The Ancient Demon's bloodline heritage is too singular and too easily targeted.

To this day, most of the current demons have become no different from the mobile material bank known as Devils.

The true Demon Clan has long been on the brink of extinction.

Even ordinary demons could hardly form a trend anymore.

If not, why would the terrifying upright apes need to painstakingly target Devils for materials?

Demon materials require a series of processing, it's painfully troublesome.

Why not use demons or demon beasts directly, saving trouble and nearby?

Is it because they don't want to?

But the heritage method of Ancient Demons also certainly has advantages.

Just like the human heritage, much has been lost, with most of the oldest things gone.

Many Dharma Methods circulating today are in fact new creations born from innovation.

Although maybe more adapted to the present era, they might not be as effective against ancient aspects.

For instance, the massive loss of ritual and sacrificial techniques makes it hard to perfectly respond to corresponding things.

But as long as demons have not been completely wiped out, and the bloodline has not been completely severed, once awakened, a large amount of heritage can be rediscovered, even fully ancient heritage is likely.

Over the vast pristine timelines, generation after generation of demons continued to add, engraving things into the bloodline.

Anyway, each has its strengths and weaknesses, it can only be said that what suits oneself best is the most optimal.

Before meeting Yu Ziqing, just hearing of Yu Ziqing from the Black Ship Saint or those dreadful Wise Men on the Big Island, the Cloud Whale had already presumed Yu Ziqing was the most important person.

Upon meeting Yu Ziqing, discovering a connection to the Moon God, with an aura far more complex and unfamiliar than imagined, the Cloud Whale was ever more convinced Yu Ziqing was definitely trustworthy.

The Cloud Whale fell back into the sea, and as the Black Ship again floated on the surface, the Black Ship High Priest gave a signal to the Black Ship Saint.

The Black Ship swiftly veered off from the back of the Cloud Whale.

Honestly, hovering mid-air gave the Black Ship Saints a palpable sense of insecurity, especially with the often misdirected Cloud Whale making them apprehensive.

The Black Ship High Priest took on a task and promptly set off, preparing to cross the deep sea, heading to another land to search for the demon who awakened the Ancient Demon heritage and bloodline.

The Cloud Whale himself didn't know what kind of demon it was, only contributed a baby tooth as a token for the Black Ship Saint, in case they met the other Inheritor of the Ancient Demon, there'd be no issue in preliminary communication.

The Black Ship Saint sped off swiftly, disappearing into the sea.

The Cloud Whale still hoped to converse more with the Black Ship Saint, but couldn't, watching them leave with a long face.

The Cloud Whale wanted to go but feared unknown influences upon returning to the deep sea.

Fleeing from the brink of death years ago had already provoked an unknown presence.

"You should remain in the Southern Sea, going with me to the mainland isn't quite suitable, your size might invite unnecessary trouble."

Before the Cloud Whale spoke, Yu Ziqing had already suggested he stay in the Southern Sea, given its vastness.

The task of finding the two demons who awakened Ancient Demon heritage fell onto his shoulders.

"Oh, alright, I'll just stay in the Southern Sea." the Cloud Whale begrudgingly agreed.

Finished conversing with the Cloud Whale, hearing Yu Ziqing would be on the Big Island for a while, the Cloud Whale submerged to rest at the seabed.
