Summon of the Bloodline

The old monk lowered his head and said,

"Spiritual Will is something ordinary people cannot sense. The fact that you can see it means you are not ordinary."

"When I noticed you were chosen, I was truly surprised. Chosen ones haven't appeared in the Cultivation World for a long time."

Zhen Chen excitedly asked,

"The Cultivation World… is it real?"

The old monk smiled and nodded.

"You are now connected to the Cultivation World. But how far you can go depends on your fate."

Zhen Chen tried to hide his excitement and asked,

"Master, what does 'Chosen One' mean?"

Somehow, he had a bad feeling. Being chosen couldn't be a simple matter. He could only hope it was something good.

The old monk sighed and explained carefully.

"The matter of Chosen Ones is complicated."

"There are different kinds of Chosen Ones. Powerful clans select humans and call them 'Chosen Ones.' Since humans are weaker than these clans, they cannot refuse. This rule was established after the advanced human bloodlines were defeated over 200,000 years ago."

Zhen Chen listened with his mouth slightly open. His hands trembled as he held a cup of hot tea. The tea rippled inside the cup, but he didn't even notice.

"This is clear now… I'm in serious danger."

With a trembling voice, Zhen Chen asked,

"So, does that mean Chosen Ones are captured by these clans?"

The old monk noticed Zhen Chen's fear and spoke gently.

"Calm down. Not every Chosen One is taken away. That's why the ones chosen change over time. Humans have become weaker, so they are no longer very useful."

"Some Chosen Ones have unique bodies that make them valuable. Some are born with pure souls untouched by external forces. Some female cultivators are born with innocent hearts and exceptional beauty, making them targets for powerful clans."

"But in your case, there's nothing special about your body or soul. You are also not a beautiful girl, so I doubt any clan would be interested in you. Just focus on improving your cultivation."

Hearing this, Zhen Chen let out a deep sigh and thought,

"That's right… I'm just an ordinary person. Even in my family, I'm treated as useless. There's no way any powerful clan would want someone like me."

Spectrum Dragon Galaxy

Restricted High-Level Clan Territory

The Ice-White World…

Amidst the spiritual mist stood a grand palace made of white ice jade.

On a throne of shimmering white ice sat a woman of unmatched beauty. Her presence was noble and powerful, and her voice carried an enchanting melody that could melt one's soul.

"I heard the Dark Mystic Clan wants to propose a marriage… That sounds suspicious."

A woman in red armor, standing among several high-ranking officials, spoke with anger.

"Your Majesty, the Dark Mystic Clan is trying to disrupt the relationship between our Ice-White Dragon Clan and the Greenwood Fae Clan. They want to create a conflict between us. We should unite with the Greenwood Fae Clan and suppress the Dark Mystic Clan!"

An old man with a long white beard added,

"It's not just the Dark Mystic Clan. The Greenwood Fae Clan has also been eyeing our sacred Ice-White Divine Flame. If the princess marries their prince, they will gain access to our sacred land. Once they do, we will lose control over the situation."

The Ice-White Dragon Queen nodded.

"The Grand Elder is right. I have heard rumors about a secret Greenwood Fae ritual. If they mix their life essence with the Ice-White Divine Flame, they can create an indestructible Golden Greenwood Fae Body."

"Although it's just a rumor, we cannot fully trust the Greenwood Fae Prince. I also noticed that Chuchu seems to be fond of him. This could be a problem in the future."

"If the Dark Mystic Clan proposes marriage, the Greenwood Fae Clan will surely do the same. No matter who we choose, it won't be good for us."

She turned to the Grand Elder and asked,

"Do you have a solution?"

The old man stroked his white beard and sighed.

"If Princess Chuchu truly likes the Greenwood Fae Prince, it will be difficult to stop her."

The room fell silent. The tension in the air was heavy.

"This means… a war is inevitable."

"Then let's fight!"

"No… We should not reveal our strength yet."

"The Gathering of Restricted Clans is still far away. Until then, it's best to stay hidden."
