Chapter 844 - 285: Bloodline Power?
Among the Sea Race, there are many different tribes, some with unique abilities that can conceal themselves from the Celestial Observation Array.
This Sea Race is one such tribe.
Even the Celestial Observation Array can only vaguely detect this member of the Sea Race, necessitating a mission to be issued for strong individuals to track and eliminate them.
"Using six days, faster than I imagined."
Lin Zheyu walked out of the tavern with satisfaction.
After leaving the Martial Realm, he came directly to Pinghao City. With the help of the Tracking Compass, he spent six days finding the target’s location.
No, to be precise, five days.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Lin Zheyu particularly remained at this tavern, waiting for the target to show up.
"There’s also a Barbarian Race member and the traitor Shi Weiping; these two have hidden so deeply."
Lin Zheyu thought to himself.
According to the latest information, the Martial Alliance traitor Shi Weiping is hiding near the East Sea, suspected of having allied with the Sea Race.
Thus, both missions Lin Zheyu took are located in Pinghao City near the East Sea.
"Come out!"
Suddenly, Lin Zheyu paused his steps slightly and softly said.
"Your perception is truly strong, no wonder you could find the Sea Race traitor so quickly."
Amidst distorted light, a young man in lavish attire walked out, smiling.
This person is the cultivator responsible for guarding Pinghao City.
Under the detection of the Celestial Observation Array, any power surpassing the Innate level will be detected and reported.
"You’re too kind, it was just good luck."
Lin Zheyu said indifferently.
He was here to perform the task and had no intention of making acquaintances; completing the task quickly to earn points and return was his priority.
The man smiled slightly, changing the subject: "I’m Xiao Jinming, the cultivator in charge of Pinghao City, and may I know your name..."
"So, it’s Mr. Xiao."
"I have important matters to attend to and can’t delay any longer, so I’ll take my leave first."
Before Xiao Jinming could finish, Lin Zheyu calmly cupped his hands in farewell.
His right foot stepped forward, causing the surrounding space to fluctuate as if the hundred-meter distance had shrunk.
The whole person vanished from the spot and reappeared three hundred meters away in an instant.
"Shrinking the ground to an inch!"
"Is it a Divine Technique or a Cultivation Technique?"
Xiao Jinming’s expression froze, looking displeased as he watched Lin Zheyu’s departing direction.
He didn’t expect Lin Zheyu to be so dismissive.
A trace of malice flashed in Xiao Jinming’s eyes, witnessing Lin Zheyu’s display of skill before disappearing from sight.
The so-called shrinking the ground to an inch is not something anyone can perform.
Back when Lin Zheyu encountered the Barbarian warrior who could use similar lightweight skills, it was due to the special totem power on him.
Having been in the Immortal Realm for so long, Lin Zheyu had never seen any cultivator who possessed such similar abilities.
If one were to rely on cultivating a technique to master similar abilities, it would require an extraordinary understanding of spatial rules.
Below the Golden Core realm, only very few geniuses are qualified for such cultivation.
"Who exactly is this person?"
"Which force’s genius mastered such powerful spatial rules, seems unfamiliar, could it be a newly-risen talent?"
Xiao Jinming murmured softly before disappearing from the spot.
What a pity.
Originally, he thought he might seize the opportunity to establish a relationship with the other party.
To his surprise, Lin Zheyu behaved so blandly, not giving any face before leaving.
’Truly deserving of a genius, damn proud.’ Xiao Jinming grumbled to himself.
...
After declining Xiao Jinming’s invitation, Lin Zheyu shifted his figure to the nearby Anning Street.
This street was bustling, with vendors and pedestrians coming and going.
Not far away was a sugar sculptor surrounded by chattering, extremely excited children.
Lin Zheyu walked nonchalantly past the middle-aged man sculpting sugar figures, fully activating his perception field, scanning everyone present.
"Changed location?"
Lin Zheyu took out the Compass, repositioned the target’s location, and found that the Barbarian who infiltrated the city was no longer nearby.
His figure flickered, disappearing from the lively street.
Remarkably, no one in the street noticed a living person vanish without a trace.
Inside the teahouse.
A storyteller passionately recounted tales of generals and wars, exciting the listeners inside the teahouse.
Lin Zheyu sat in a corner, spreading out his perception field, searching for any possible Barbarian presence.
This task was not easy, and Lin Zheyu was not in a hurry.
While searching for Barbarian aura, he controlled wisps of golden energy to enter his consciousness sea.
Now, his entire consciousness sea was radiant gold, nearly filled with the vast golden energy.
"What exactly is this golden energy?"
"The bloodline power lurking deep in my genes?"
Lin Zheyu pondered.
Ever since witnessing Wu Yixuan’s bloodline power, Lin Zheyu developed this thought.
The golden energy within him bore a striking resemblance to Wu Yixuan’s bloodline power in certain aspects.
Lin Zheyu suspected it might have been triggered from a profound ancestor’s bloodline power hidden deep within his genes after surpassing the Nine Transformations of Qi and Blood during the Qi Blood Realm and continuing to refine and improve himself.
"The effects of bloodline power vary."
"If this golden energy within me constitutes bloodline power, what would its most potent effect be?"
Lin Zheyu wondered.
Recently, he conducted much research but found no starting point for the golden energy’s role.
This energy didn’t seem to enhance strength directly but could indirectly enhance it through golden runes within his body.
Entering the golden energy into the consciousness sea was a discovery Lin Zheyu made accidentally.
Once in the consciousness sea, the golden energy offered strong protection, defending the consciousness and soul from Soul Secret Skill attacks.
Apart from this.
Lin Zheyu also found that as more golden energy entered the consciousness sea, the consciousness sea seemed to be brewing some mysterious change.
This is why he constantly, whenever possible, directed wisps of golden energy into the consciousness sea.
Lin Zheyu wanted to see what changes would occur when the consciousness sea was finally filled with golden energy.
