: The Bloodline of Jhi Chen

When Jhi Chen was placed inside the formation containing the treasure from the Eternal Era, a treasure found in the Celestial Realm, a special treasure for testing bloodlines, Jhi Chen's father was confident he could test his son's bloodline with it. However, the result was still astonishing.

As soon as the treasure came into contact with Jhi Chen, it shone dazzlingly. The glow lasted longer than the previous treasure, but in the end, it shattered into pieces. Not only did the treasure shatter, but the formation also collapsed because it couldn't bear the burden of Jhi Chen's bloodline level.

When everything shattered, the village trembled. The tremors spread to several kingdoms, even to the dynasty. People in the dynasty looked at each other in shock.

"What's happening again? Why are so many strange phenomena appearing today?"

Long San was the dynasty's ancestor. He stared at the sky with a deep and dignified gaze, making no one behind him dare to make a sound. Only the sound of the silent wind and heartbeats could be heard.

"Long Shi, please step forward."

"Lord Ancestor, Long Shi is ready to carry out the order."

Long Shi was the dynasty's general. Everyone knew his strength. He was so strong that he was nicknamed the Battlefield Demon. When he entered the battlefield, blood would be seen all the way. Even when his troops were surrounded, he could hold off ten thousand elite troops alone.

"Long Shi, investigate where the center of the vibration was just now. I suspect it's not an ordinary earthquake."

"Lord Ancestor, was it caused by someone?"

"I'm not sure yet. But I hope it's just a natural phenomenon, not caused by someone. If it was caused by someone, you must find them. If they are not an enemy of the dynasty, bring them to the palace. We will take care of them. But if they are an enemy of the dynasty, you must eliminate them. I don't want it to become a threat to our dynasty. If it is someone from our dynasty, we must befriend them. Don't create an enemy who could potentially destroy the dynasty."

"I can't believe there are phenomena that continue and are different in one day."

"Lord Ancestor, rest assured, Long Shi will carry out this task as best as possible."

Then Long Shi flew into the sky and disappeared.

Back at Jhi Chen's house.

"Husband, what happened?"

"Mu’er, Chen’er is truly extraordinary. Even with the immortal treasure from the Celestial Realm, it still couldn't withstand Chen’er's bloodline."

Jhi Chen's mother trembled with happiness. Her eyes reddened and tears came out, even though she didn't know what limits the immortal treasure could test about her son's bloodline.

"Husband, may I ask?"

"Mu’er, what do you want to ask?"

"Husband, you have been mentioning the Celestial Realm again and again. May I know, is there really a Celestial Realm?"

"I thought what. Of course, my wife. Maybe for some galaxies, mentioning the Celestial Realm sounds strange because not many people know about it. Let alone your galaxy, which has long declined, even the Celestial Sect galaxy, which is considered one of the strongest galaxies, doesn't know about it."

"I will tell you some information about the structure of the world. What most people commonly know: there are only nine galaxies. Each galaxy contains millions of worlds. That's what the majority of people know, not only in your galaxy, but in almost every galaxy."

"But in reality, that's wrong."

Jhi Tian, Jhi Chen's father, shook his head. He looked at the sky and sighed.

"When I was sure I was the strongest in this world, when my cultivation surpassed my ancestors, I traveled around the world. While focusing on increasing my strength, I saw ripples above the sky. I tried to investigate it. It turned out it wasn't an ordinary ripple, but a door to another realm."

"I tried to enter. I thought it was just an ordinary forbidden world. In fact, I was wrong. It wasn't a forbidden world, but another realm, or it could be called another galaxy."

"In that realm, I saw millions of worlds. The most terrifying thing, in every world, the average lowest level of cultivation is Celestial God, and Celestial Gods are just gatekeepers."

"Whereas in our place, True God is already the top existence. When the head of my clan broke through to Immortal God and became the strongest person in the world, people didn't know that my ancestor had already broken through to True Immortal God. I myself have broken through to Peak Celestial God."

"If people knew, maybe every clan head and galaxy leader would bow down to my clan. But in the Celestial Realm, those great Celestial Gods are just gatekeepers. I knew it was the Celestial Realm because at the gate there was a writing: 'Celestial Realm, Ruler of All Universes.'"

"After I got closer, I could enter because my cultivation was higher than the gatekeepers. The gatekeepers didn't make it difficult for me, but I had to serve the ruler of that world. In the Celestial Realm, there are still many different worlds and levels."

"When I entered, I was accepted by the leader of that world, but my status was only a pet keeper. I couldn't refuse, because the leader of that world was very strong. Maybe with just his saliva, he could kill me."

"I couldn't see what level his cultivation was, so I could only obey. When I became a pet keeper, I continued to cultivate. The natural energy there was truly rich, incomparable to the galaxies where we are."

"I gained attention, my status increased because my cultivation advanced rapidly. I broke through to Grand God, continued to break through to Exalted God, and then became an elder in that world. In that world, there is only one ruler, no clans or sects, only one ruler."

"But unintentionally, when adventuring to another world, I broke through a forbidden area and found many treasures. Because I was too excited, I took everything."

"With that, I broke through to the peak of Exalted God. When I was one step away from breaking through to Grand Exalted God, an unexpected incident occurred. It turned out that the treasures I took were the treasury of the world I visited, and that world was the second strongest power in the Celestial Realm."

"I had to give up on my breakthrough. Not because I was a coward, but I was self-aware. My strength was not enough to fight. Just surviving was not enough."

"I heard the deputy head of that world had reached rank eight Grand Exalted God. I don't know how strong the head of that world was. Whereas the head of my world at that time was only rank five Grand Exalted God. The head of my world would not be able to defend me at the cost of the destruction of that world."

"So I sneaked away. While in that world, I learned about our world. It turned out that our world can be monitored in the Celestial Realm. But there is a place that is not monitored, where we are now. This dynasty is not monitored. Not only this dynasty, but even half of your galaxy is not monitored by the Celestial Realm."

"I wondered why it couldn't be monitored. After observing with all my abilities, I got the answer: because of Mount Salke, which is behind our village right now."

"I will tell you. I practice a cultivation technique, not the technique inherited by my clan, but the technique I got unintentionally on the outskirts of this mountain, when I was training in my youth. Until now, I am still practicing this cultivation technique."

"I had wondered why I could get to this height only with the technique I got in this remote place. After we lived in this place, I continued to study the depths of Mount Salke. But the harder I tried, the more mysterious this place became. I haven't gotten the results."

"My wife, so now you know that there is a realm outside all our galaxies. It is the realm of true experts. But you don't need to worry. When I sneaked away, I used one of the highest treasures I got in the treasury of the Celestial Realm world, a treasure that can completely hide my body and aura."

"Until today, people in the Celestial Realm don't know who broke into their treasure treasury, and don't know where I went. Before leaving, I erased my soul mark on the soul lamp in the world where I served at that time. So you don't need to worry," Jhi Tian explained.

"My husband, I'm not worried. I won't regret dying with you. I'm not afraid of death, and I believe you won't let that happen," Mu Xiao'er said with conviction.

Jhi Tian, although considered the strongest person in this world, let his eyes redden. Almost shedding tears because of hearing his wife's words. He caressed his wife's hair while kissing her forehead.

"Mu’er, thank you."

"Haha, my husband. After we lived together, I finally knew your level of cultivation. I really feel ashamed. With my level of cultivation, level three True God realm, I used to feel proud and felt worthy of you. Although I knew you were very strong, I thought you were the peak of True God. But after knowing your cultivation now, I really feel ashamed. It turns out I was just a frog at the bottom of a well who didn't know the vastness of the world. This feeling is really not good."

"My wife, what nonsense are you talking about. I love you sincerely. I never looked at your cultivation."

"Haha, maybe I'm the luckiest woman in this world because I made such a strong god love me so much."

"Stop your jokes. I will tell you about the levels of bloodlines that are inherited."

"My bloodline is called Divine Lightning Bloodline. Divine Lightning bloodlines are also tiered, from ordinary to the strongest. If the Divine Lightning bloodline is ordinary, it can only be a servant in my clan. If it's intermediate level, it can be a guardian of the spirit plant garden or a guardian of the vehicle beast. If it's upper level, it can be a clan elder or a teaching instructor, they are called geniuses."

"If it's the Divine General bloodline level, he can become the clan head. Those who inherit the Divine General bloodline are called geniuses who dare to challenge the heavens, demonic geniuses, because their cultivation talent is very terrible. Besides being strong, they are very fast in understanding and improving cultivation. If it's the Saint King bloodline, it's even more terrible in cultivation. In my clan, there are five people who got the Divine General bloodline. That's why galaxy leaders respect my clan so much. If my clan declares itself as the second strongest power in the galaxy we know, no one dares to admit number one, unless including the Celestial Realm galaxy."

"As for the Saint King level, there is only me in the clan, even that was before my bloodline mutated. It turns out that bloodlines can mutate after getting some special circumstances."

"After Saint King there is Saint Emperor. After Saint Emperor there is Saint Ancestor God. I got that knowledge in the Celestial Realm. There, the Saint King level alone is very rare. Whereas the Saint Emperor level there is only one person, the head of the entire Celestial Realm."

"Maybe now his bloodline has mutated, because my bloodline alone can mutate, let alone him who manipulated the resources of the Celestial Realm."

"Whereas the first treasure that broke can only test up to the Saint King bloodline. The second treasure can test up to the Saint Ancestor God. For Chen’er, let alone knowing the level of his bloodline, even while still in the testing process, the treasure couldn't bear it. So I can't know the level of Chen’er's bloodline."

"I also don't know what level is above Saint Ancestor God. But Chen’er's bloodline is really extraordinary. Not only the Divine Lightning Bloodline, but also the Lunar Celestial Body inherited from you. Not only that, Chen’er has four dantians."

"One dantian for Divine Lightning Bloodline. One dantian for Divine Sun Bloodline. One dantian for Divine Stars Bloodline. One dantian for Lunar Celestial Body. This is really a terrible bloodline. That has never been in historical records," Jhi Tian explained.

"Mu’er, so now you know how terrifying Chen’er's bloodline is?" he asked again.

: The Child Who Defies Heaven

"Husband, why does Chen’er have so many inherited bloodlines?" Mu Xiao'er asked with a trembling voice.

"If it's the Divine Lightning Bloodline and Lunar Celestial Body, that's still reasonable," she continued, looking down, "because it's inherited from your lineage and mine. But this is different, I don't understand."

Mu Xiao'er, Jhi Chen's mother, was truly speechless. Her gaze was blank, her face pale.

"Mu'er, I don't know about that either," Jhi Tian replied in a serious tone. "Maybe Chen'er is destined to fix this world. Try looking at Chen'er's cultivation yourself."

Mu Xiao'er walked closer to Jhi Chen. Her heart was pounding, her steps were cautious. After she stood right in front of her child, her eyes trembled in disbelief. She could have seen Jhi Chen's cultivation from afar with divine sense, that was normal. But because Jhi Chen was her own flesh and blood, she didn't dare to be reckless.

When her divine sense penetrated the baby's body, Mu Xiao'er was immediately stunned. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her hands trembled. She was even more amazed than when she witnessed the bloodline testing earlier. A high bloodline she could still understand, but the level of cultivation she saw now was truly beyond reason.

"I really didn't expect," Mu Xiao'er said falteringly, "even a newborn child has such a high cultivation. He was just born, but already has a level two Martial Ancestor cultivation."

Jhi Tian nodded calmly. "Now you know why I said Chen'er is destined to renovate this world. When I was born, I was only rank one Martial Emperor, and that was already considered an unparalleled genius at that time."

"Husband," Mu Xiao'er interjected quickly, "are you going to guide Chen'er directly?"

Jhi Tian shook his head. "No. Let Chen'er grow on his own. But I will pass on my cultivation technique. Maybe he can understand its depths. Besides that, I will also put a special treasure to hide his cultivation, so as not to cause a commotion in this world."

"That really has to be done," Mu Xiao'er replied softly. "If it's not hidden, and people know, there will be unnecessary commotion. The ruler of this kingdom is only a rank five Martial King. The highest ruler of this dynasty is only a rank nine Martial King. Whereas the ancestor of this dynasty is no more than a rank three Martial Emperor."

Her eyes stared deeply at her husband. "If they know there is a newborn baby who has reached rank two Martial Ancestor, they will feel desperate. They could vomit blood because their entire lives were wasted. Husband, what are your plans now?"

"My wife," Jhi Tian said firmly, "I will try to unravel the mystery of Mount Salke. Whereas Chen'er I will entrust to you. Live life as usual, but in happiness for Chen'er, I also have anxiety. I don't know what Chen'er will be like in the future. Therefore, you must always watch his character."

Mu Xiao'er looked down, then asked softly, "Will he become the savior of this world, or will he become a disaster? I really don't want that to happen."

"Mu'er, you don't need to worry too much," Jhi Tian replied soothingly. "Chen'er must be a good child. Because Chen'er is the child of Jhi Tian and Mu Xiao'er, he must inherit the traits of his parents."

"I hope so," Jhi Tian said again. "My wife, I have hidden Chen'er's cultivation. I will leave now. If there is something you can't handle, destroy this talisman. I will arrive immediately. Remember, don't force something you can't bear."

"Husband, trust me," Mu Xiao'er replied with a steady tone. "I will be fine. Who can scare me in this galaxy? My cultivation is equivalent to the galaxy ruler. Even if we fight, I am still confident I can defeat him completely."

"Alright," Jhi Tian nodded, "I will leave now. Goodbye."

As soon as those farewell words were spoken, Jhi Tian's body immediately disappeared. The aura of his existence didn't leave a trace at all.

Mu Xiao'er could only shake her head while whispering, "After I lived with you for so long, only now I realize how strong you are. Even with my level of cultivation that is considered high, I am just a small character in front of you."

Three Years Later

When Jhi Chen was fetching water in the river, he suddenly saw an injured old man. The man was surrounded by water monsters. His life was truly in danger. If no one helped, he would surely die.

Jhi Chen, who was still small, stared at the scene. His heart burned with anger because the old man was hurt. His gaze turned sharp, his small body tensed. As he stared at the swarming monsters, his sapphire blue eyes flashed. In an instant, the color changed to dazzling gold.

The next second, the many monsters exploded simultaneously. Their flesh and bones were crushed into ashes, their blood evaporated without a trace.

The old man gaped, his mouth wide open. He couldn't believe what had just happened before his eyes. His mind was confused, trying to find an explanation. He turned in all directions, hoping to find a strong expert who might have helped him. But what he saw was just a small child standing upright, looking at him calmly.

The old man's eyes narrowed. He tried to assess Jhi Chen with his special ability, but found nothing strange. Naturally, because Jhi Chen had returned to normal.

Jhi Chen then walked closer to the badly injured old man. With a soft voice he said, "Senior, are you alright? Why did the water monsters attack you?"

The old man was still dazed. Only after hearing Jhi Chen's voice for the third time did he come to his senses. "Kid, did you save me?" he asked hesitantly.

He still couldn't believe that a small child of about three years old could kill so many monsters.

Jhi Chen himself had actually known about his strength since the age of two. But his mother always forbade him from showing it in front of other people. He had to pretend to be weak. So when the old man asked, his brain immediately spun to find a reason.

"Senior, it was indeed me who killed those monsters," Jhi Chen replied. "But I only threw a small ball when I was fetching water for my family. A senior in white robes passed by, he gave me the ball. He said don't visit this river because it's dangerous. If you meet a monster, just throw the ball to protect your life. After that he left."

Jhi Chen looked down for a moment, then added, "I have often come to this river, but I have never seen the monsters mentioned by the senior in white robes. So I used the ball just to play. Just now, when I saw senior surrounded by strange beasts, I remembered the message. I then threw the small ball. It turned out to be true, the ball can drive away monsters."

The old man was still doubtful, but Jhi Chen's reason was quite reasonable. He finally didn't argue anymore because his own body was very weak.

"Senior, don't move too much. I will help you," Jhi Chen said again.

He then easily carried the old man, then walked quickly towards the forest to find medicinal ingredients.

The old man was shocked beyond measure. He couldn't believe a small child could carry his body. Even more surprisingly, Jhi Chen was able to walk nimbly and agilely as if not feeling the burden.

With a special eye technique, the old man observed Jhi Chen's body. His gaze immediately widened. He saw something extraordinary. Although Jhi Chen didn't have any energy at all, and hadn't reached any cultivation level, his twelve meridian points were already perfectly open.

That sight made the old man startled. In the vast world of martial arts, something like this had never been encountered. Usually the twelve meridians can only be opened in adults who have started cultivating, and even then at a very high price and extreme pain.

But this little boy, his twelve meridian points opened on their own. The old man was sure, a child this small couldn't possibly withstand such suffering.

He stared at Jhi Chen closely, his heart trembling greatly. "This child is truly extraordinary," he muttered softly.

: The Bond of Krisik

Jhi Chen ran with terrifying speed for a three-year-old. Each footstep was light yet steady, leaving small indentations in the damp forest floor. Actually, he wanted to fly, because a single flap could take him far beyond the trees. But he restrained himself. If he soared through the air, his strength would be revealed. It would only attract attention, causing unnecessary complications. So he chose to keep running. Although not as fast as flying, his running speed still surpassed the sight of anyone who happened to be around this forest.

When he arrived in the middle of the dense trees, he lowered the old man he had rescued from the riverbank. The old man was still weak, his breath rising and falling irregularly. His skin was pale, dried blood clung to his arms and shoulders, and a wound on his chest looked fresh. Jhi Chen stared for a moment to make sure the man was still conscious. He didn't talk much. Without wasting time, he darted through the forest, looking for spirit plants that could heal internal wounds before it was too late.

He moved from one point to another. Under the protruding roots, between the moss-covered rocks, on the damp soil terraces, he examined one by one the densely leaved plants that held traces of Divine energy. Several times he stopped. There were purple-petaled plants that shimmered, there were sharp-tipped grasses that reflected light, but none of them matched what he needed. Jhi Chen remained patient. Every step was measured, every breath was guarded, his divine sense touched gently on the surrounding area to ensure there were no threats wasting his time.

After a while, his eyes fell on a low cliff with damp walls. In the crevice of the rock grew a plant with dark green leaves, each strand of leaf reflecting a bluish glow like agate illuminated by the sun. A sharp but clean aroma crept into the air. Jhi Chen recognized these characteristics. He bowed slowly, examining the fibers of the stem, then nodded in satisfaction.

"Two thousand year old Krisik Grass," he murmured. His voice was low but firm. "This is what I need."

The joy hadn't had time to settle when the ground around him trembled lightly. From behind the thin mist, emerged a giant ape figure with jet-black fur and glowing red eyes. Its body was as tall as a multi-story building, its arms as big as banyan tree trunks, its nails were long and seemed capable of tearing rocks. The ape stood upright, its chest puffed out, and the sound of its roar exploded like thunder.

"Naughty kid, you better leave," the ape called out, its voice echoing between the trees. "I don't like killing children. Your flesh won't be satisfying. Don't waste your life in this place. Get out of here before I change my mind."

Jhi Chen raised his head and stared at it without flinching. He understood from the tone of the ape's voice that this creature was not a killer without reason. There was a warning there, not hatred. He nodded slightly as a form of appreciation. But the old man behind him needed help immediately, and this Krisik Grass was the key.

"Because you don't intend to kill me, I also don't want to make trouble," Jhi Chen said calmly. "Hand over that Krisik Grass to me. After that, I will leave, and I will not disturb your territory."

The giant ape was silent for a moment, then laughed long. His voice shook the leaves, causing forest birds to fly away. "Little kid, do you realize what you just said? You're warning me? Although I'm not a creature who likes to slaughter, I'm also not a kind-hearted guard. If you don't hear my warning, you can become a snack. Your small body may not make me full, but it's enough to fill my molars."

Jhi Chen took a short breath, his gaze cooling. "In that case, don't blame me. I don't have time for unnecessary debate. The old man I saved is dying. I will take the Krisik Grass now." He took a step, then added in the same calm tone, "Stupid ape, stay where you are. I won't kill you. I'm just taking what I need."

The ape's eyes widened in anger. He raised both arms, preparing to slam the ground. Who was he? A true rank eight wild beast, equivalent to a human rank four Martial King. Many kingdom rulers would choose to avoid if faced with him. But before his anger exploded, his body was suddenly locked. An invisible pressure fell from the sky, crushing like a mountain. An oppressive aura seeped in, suffocating movement and suppressing his breath. The ape was stunned. He couldn't move. Even breathing felt like swallowing iron.

In sudden fear, he glanced at the little boy who stood calmly in front of him. The innocent face showed no intention to kill, but the pressure he released was like invisible shackles. The ape realized. If this boy intended to kill, he would be annihilated without a chance to fight back.

Not wanting to provoke danger, the ape held back, while Jhi Chen approached the cliff, knelt, and picked the mature Krisik Grass. His movements were meticulous and quick. After ensuring the roots were not damaged and the essence was not wasted, he stood up. He turned to leave, but the ape's heavy voice held him back.

"Lord, why deceive me? There's no need to disguise yourself as a child. If I knew your strength from the start, I wouldn't dare to offend you. Forgive my stupidity." The ape lowered his body, then prostrated, his legs trembling greatly.

Jhi Chen stopped. He turned and was briefly surprised to see the mountain-sized figure prostrating before him. A faint smile appeared on his lips. "Old ape, I didn't deceive you. I didn't disguise myself. I am indeed still small. My lifespan is only three years. About strength, that's my business. I won't mention anything to you."

The ape stared unblinkingly. His face was blank and dazed, just like a truly stupid ape. He couldn't believe a boy who was only three years old could have such great strength.

"I like you a little. Although you are not a good beast, your character is not bad either. Do you want to follow me?"

The ape was startled, then looked so excited that his voice came out stammering. "Lord, i-is that true? Are you serious?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Jhi Chen asked, staring straight at him.

"No. This little ape is willing to follow you," the ape replied quickly. He understood, although he was not weak, out there there were many true experts whose existence was shaking. Following a strong person was the most reasonable choice. And if this boy was really only three years old, his prospects would be unlimited.

"You don't need to kneel to me. I'm not looking for a servant. I want a friend. If you want to come, stop the habit of kneeling. Just once you object, I won't take you. Starting today, I call you Krisik Ape, because you grew up with Krisik Grass."

"Krisik Ape will not object to Lord," he replied respectfully. He raised his face, trying to regulate his breath so as not to look too nervous.

"Good, now, can you shrink your body? Your size is too big. If you walk beside me with a body like this, the whole forest could be in an uproar."

Without delay, Krisik Ape shrunk his body. From a height of thirty meters, he shrank to the size of a large cat. His sapphire blue fur looked clean and shiny, his face which was originally fierce now looked adorable. He jumped onto Jhi Chen's shoulder, landing lightly and holding on tight.

"Lord, Krisik Ape is ready," he said, trying to sound calm.

"I will hide your cultivation. Don't attract anyone's attention." He circulated his divine sense, sealing tightly the traces of Krisik Ape's aura.

After that, he lifted his body, darting quickly through the air. The wind whistled. The trees shifted like shadows. If not for the protection of the aura, the gusts of air alone would be enough to throw Krisik Ape off. The little ape hugged Jhi Chen's shoulder even tighter.

"Lord is really strong," he muttered. "If without protection, I could be destroyed by the wind like this."

A few moments later, Jhi Chen slowed down, touched the ground again, then ran quickly. He arrived at the place where the old man was lying. The old man opened his eyes, staring at Jhi Chen who appeared with firm steps.

"Kid, where did you go?" the old man asked weakly.

Jhi Chen didn't answer. He crouched down, examining the still open wound, then nodded. "Senior, your wound is very severe. But don't worry. I have obtained the medicine," he said soothingly.

He took out the Krisik Grass. The thick stems and leaves he rubbed slowly with his palms twenty-one times. A thick green liquid came out, smelling sharp, and when touched to the skin, the plant melted, seeping into the flesh. Thin white smoke rose into the air. The old man screamed loudly, his body tensing from the stinging pain.

"Senior, hold on a moment," Jhi Chen said firmly. "This won't take long."

The scream slowly subsided. Half an incense stick's time felt enough to make the pain subside. The gaping wounds closed seventy percent, the bleeding stopped, and the old man's skin color gradually returned. He took a long breath then looked at the sky between the leaves, laughing heartily.

"I, Yan Saotian, didn't die," he exclaimed with a relieved laugh that thrilled the surrounding air.

But the laughter didn't last long. His face hardened. The look in his eyes suddenly turned cold. A thick killing aura dripped from his body uncontrollably. The surrounding air dropped several degrees. Breath vapor seemed to freeze. "Feng Clan," he hissed, his voice heavy. "You are too brave. You intercepted this old man on the road. You even sent the deputy head of the clan to besiege me. You thought I would die under that pressure. You are wrong. I live. The treasure you wanted you didn't get. You will bear the consequences."
