Chapter 155: Progeny of The Three Sovereigns
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Humans were a kind of societal-based creatures. Those with the same or similar characteristics would tend to live together and have mutual exchanges to fight for the greatest benefits in the entire group.
It had been like that since the beginning of time up until now.
Hence, a clan was formed from an ancient form of society.
And for some major powers that had endured through the ravages of time, these powers were known as prestigious clans and aristocrat clans.
As to what a prestigious clan meant, it meant that their inheritances would be pa.s.sed down through the generations, and they enjoyed great authority and power which caused countless people to look up and aspire them.
Now, such a chance was placed before Feng Lin’s eyes.
If Feng Lin were an ordinary person, he would have already gone wild with joy and accepted Feng Shaoyou’s proposal instantly. However, Feng Lin didn’t even bother to consider things and directly rejected it, not giving Feng Shaoyou any leeway to negotiate at all.
Because he had enough confidence that he himself would establish a prestigious clan!
After he matured completely, why couldn’t he depend on his own efforts and strength to establish an interstellar prestigious clan himself?
The interstellar s.p.a.ce was boundlessly vast. Everything was possible.
“You will establish a prestigious clan?” Feng Shaoyou was extremely astonished after he had heard Feng Lin’s reply. Only after a long time did he recover, and a cold smile soon appeared on his face.
“Seems like you have stayed in the solar system for too long. Do you know how vast the interstellar s.p.a.ce is? It’s limitless and boundless. Yet, how many prestigious clans and sects are there? They are countable on the fingers of both hands! All of these aristocrat clans and prestigious sects, they were formed after the acc.u.mulation of efforts from generations after generations of descendants. These powers can also be considered a supreme existence even among Interstellar Empires.
“In the solar system, the elite cultivator realm is the limit, how ridiculous is this? One must know that an elite cultivator is merely at the entry level in the true interstellar cultivation world. It’s merely the beginning of the path leading to transcendence. After the elite cultivator realm, there is still the grand cultivator realm, the adept realm, the grand adept realm, the monarch realm…all sorts of wondrous cultivation realms that exceeds your imagination. The disparity of a single step can be equivalent to the distance between the heavens and earth. The strength level of each higher cultivation realm isn’t something you can dream about.
“Also, the foundations of these prestigious and aristocrat clans are shockingly deep. Because huge trees would attract wind, they have to face countless threats. They have to have a legendary demiG.o.d existence to act as the overseer. Right now, you are just an interstellar cultivator and not even an elite cultivator. How dare you speak so arrogantly!” His words were as sharp as swords with a mocking tilt to them.
Feng Lin didn’t care. There were no ripples in his heart, only calmness.
And from the words spoken by Feng Shaoyou, he actually gained valuable cultivation knowledge which he wouldn’t be able to gain in ordinary times. It had broadened his horizons.
So it turned out that there were still so many cultivation realms after the elite cultivator realm.
The true dao of cultivation was unfathomably profound and had no end to it.
For demiG.o.ds who could already be considered supreme existences, how magnificent would they be?
This was the first time Feng Lin heard of these powerful characters that were extremely close to G.o.ds and devils.
As expected, the interstellar s.p.a.ce was the home ground of cultivation. There were endless possibilities.
Feng Lin was now more certain of his future path.
Despite the vastness of interstellar s.p.a.ce, he didn’t hesitate. With his knowledge of ancient earth’s mythological stories and legends, Feng Lin didn’t need to depend on anyone. He would surely be able to grow stronger and stronger.
Just from one’s foundation and potential, he had already surpa.s.sed his peers completely.
If he still couldn’t mature and grow into an expert, who else could?
He would depend on himself to establish a prestigious clan in the future! This wasn’t just a senseless fantasy.
In places where there were humans, there would always be conflict. For these interstellar ancestral clans and powerful sects, their internal situation would definitely be extremely complex where one had to struggle every day just for survival.
As an outsider, what benefits would there be for him if he entered there?
At most, he would only be a subordinate. He might even be targeted by Feng Shaoyou’s enemies. It would be a waste of time.
Hence, Feng Lin was very clear about what he ought to do. It was to walk down his chosen path step by step, gaining more time for himself to obtain real opportunities and not be greedy just for a chance to join a prestigious clan. In the end, his freedom would be severely restricted and he would waste his cultivation time, resulting in him not being able to progress quickly.
He had a vast knowledge of mythological paths. Moreover, as long as his genetic potential was enough, he would be able to gain the genetic equation of any of his chosen paths.
Although the f.u.xi mythological path of the Feng Ancestral Clan was very extraordinary, Feng Lin believed that he would be able to depend on his strength and effort to reach great heights too.
Hence, why was there a need for him to enter this interstellar ancestral clan?
Since he had already broken free of the restrictions imposed on him by this Feng branch clan, why be in a hurry to go inside another prison?
Seeing that Feng Shaoyou was going to speak again, Feng Lin initially wanted to leave but his heart suddenly stirred and he stopped as a smile appeared on his face.
Since this Feng Shaoyou wanted him to become his protector so badly, he might be able to learn more truths about the interstellar cultivation world from him.
“If the ancestral clan is really as powerful as you said, why don’t you stay there? What are you doing here in this backwater solar system?” Feng Lin pretended to be enraged like he was angered by Feng Shaoyou viewing his clan with contempt.
Feng Shaoyou didn’t suspect anything. He coldly laughed. “If the Feng Ancestral Clan wants to strengthen itself, it naturally has to have new blood joining them every now and then. The Feng Ancestral Clan purposely split into many branch clans. They wanted these branch clan members to grow up in different environments and grow stronger and stronger through the constant internal fights before summoning back the true geniuses to increase the ancestral clan’s strength. If it wasn’t for the clan giving me a mission, do you think I would be willing to come to this backwater star region in the solar system?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Lin’s eyes narrowed. “In that case, the segregation of clansmen into different grades were all done at the behest of the ancestral clan?”
“Naturally! The law of the jungle in the universe is dark and cruel, humans might not be able to protect themselves and would always be in danger of dying anytime. For those powerful clans, their number of population is immaterial. What’s important is for these clans to give birth to a truly supreme expert that can dominate the starry skies. Only then, will humanity have some protectors.
” This is why there is always a need for conflict between humans, no matter how cruel things might be. Only those who could slaughter a path out and climb to the peak would be considered real geniuses. For example, it’s like rearing a Gu king bug. One has to place many poisonous insects in an enclosed s.p.a.ce for them to devour each other until the last one remains. The stronger one is, the more resources they would be able to obtain. And Feng Lin, right now, you are the Gu king bug of the solar system. Going back to the ancestral clan is your destiny!” Feng Shaoyou spoke in a lofty att.i.tude as though he was p.r.o.nouncing Feng Lin’s fate.
“A Gu king bug!” Feng Lin’s eyes flared with anger. This person actually said that he was just a bug?
The laws of interstellar clans were extremely cruel.
Each and every branch clan was nothing but a rearing grounds for the Gu king bugs before the ancestral clan absorbed these geniuses back to strengthen themselves. Yet, all the branch clans still felt that this was what they were supposed to exist for.
“Isn’t the ancestral clan afraid that people might rebel if they do this?” Feng Lin’s voice turned incomparably heavy.
“Rebel?” Feng Shaoyou laughed. “How?”
“Leaving aside human civilization, the laws of the universe are incomparably cruel where the weak are food for the strong. For losers in the clan, the clan can at the very least ensure that they have food to eat and clothes to wear. For the victors, their future would be boundlessly bright. This is a method that the ancestral clans are commonly using.
“Also, the complete f.u.xi mythological dao path can be divided into the Suirens.h.i.+ Gene and Eight Trigrams Gene. This branch clan of yours only inherited the lowest possible grade of the Eight Trigrams Gene and Suirens.h.i.+ Gene which could at most allow you to become an elite cultivator. How can you all rebel? Only those who can truly walk on the f.u.xi mythological dao path can be considered a true progeny of the Three Sovereigns.
“Feng Lin, if you want to return to the ancestral clan, becoming my protector is your only choice. Without a direct descendant from the ancestral clan giving the recommendation, it’s impossible for you to return!” Feng Shaoyou spoke casually about this cruel matter.
Feng Lin didn’t bother too much about this. He started to ponder this information deeply in his mind.
The inherited genes of the Feng Clan was the f.u.xi mythological dao path.
Moreover, it turned out that the f.u.xi Gene was synthesized from the Suirens.h.i.+ Gene and Eight Trigrams Gene.
This could be considered a piece of precious information! After knowing this point, Feng Lin could use great amounts of genetic potential to infer the f.u.xi dao path. Why was there a need for him to beg others and be restricted?
Returning to the ancestral clan? Sorry, he never had this thought before.
After gaining valuable knowledge, Feng Lin was already very satisfied. He didn’t want to waste time with Feng Shaoyou any longer.
“There’s no need. If I want it, I will fight for it myself, and I won’t beg from others,” Feng Lin tossed out a sentence and turned around, preparing to leave.
“Where do you think you are going?” Feng Shaoyou was angered to the extreme. He spent such a long time and said so many things to a branch clan member, yet this insignificant guy was going to ignore him? In the future, how could he still compete with his opponents back in the ancestral clan? Wouldn’t he be mocked and ridiculed?
A fearsome gale rose up all of a sudden.
Instinctively, Feng Lin rapidly dodged aside and he only saw a gigantic python tail slapping at the location where he had been standing at earlier.
At this moment, a mythological creature that was half-snake and half-human appeared before his eyes.
