What are bloodlines?

This question isn't easy to answer for any cultivator, but it could be answered. Bloodlines could be regarded as a lineage inheritance, determined by the mixture of body and soul to produce your most primal energy during birth, and although bloodlines may be similar to each other, they are never the same. That's because no two souls born through natural means are the same.

Unlike a Dao, bloodlines aren't determined by experiences or enlightenment. Unlike conceptual laws, they do not need insights for progression. Unlike arts, bloodlines do not have a level of mastery.

Your bloodline is fully mastered, fully controlled, and fully known of its traits at discovery. The only thing your bloodline requires is strengthening by materials beneath and above the heavens that are compatible with it.

Yan Zaizen entered the swirling black hole manifested in his Meteor Ring. As he did, he felt an odd sensation in his heart. It was like hearing the voice of a scared child. The soundless resonance made his heart quiver with a protective instinct. As a male, this was an experience he'll have trouble feeling in his entire life.

Maternal instincts.

Inside the manifested black hole, Yan Zaizen saw nothing.

That wasn't true. He saw only blackness. It was reminiscent to the collapsed sub-dimensional space without light. It had an eerie feeling of endless nothingness, as if it had no beginning or end throughout.

With furrowed brows, Yan Zaizen pondered with each step he took. ”It seems my theory is correct.” As the possessor of the swirling black hole in his glabella, it wasn't like he never investigated it before. This was the exact feeling he felt when he did. Endless nothingness and perpetual devouring of all things.

However, unlike the swirling black hole, there was no suction or gravitating pull. This black hole even had an end and a beginning which he could reach with his senses, despite his instincts telling him otherwise. Essentially, this black hole was a fake.

”You're...a copy,” was his deduction. A copy meant to hide itself from what it feared by converting into that very thing. All things considered, it was an interesting tactic.

”I have an idea what you are. What my bloodline is.” His eyes flickered with an intelligent light, but there was no excitement. If his guess was correct, this bloodline will be troublesome to excavate if it truly decided to hide in defiance.

Pinaka observed Yan Zaizen entering the black hole, her thoughts were rapidly moving. After a while, her eyes lit up, ”Use your Dao!” She shouted towards the black hole. In truth, the Dao and Bloodline had an intrinsic connection with one another. They both were linked with the body and soul.

Hearing this, Yan Zaizen softly nodded. In truth, he was already planning to do so to subdue this primal energy. His experience in handling situations had become increasingly cunning as he met situations like this. A soft dark-amber orb the size of a fist exited from his chest. A soft radiance emitted from the orb.

”What?!” Yan Zaizen was startled. The black hole started to suddenly quiver like it was going to collapse. This quiver didn't feel like it was filled with fear but happiness and relief. What Yan Zaizen didn't notice was that when his dark-amber dao orb exited his soul form, the swirling black hole at his glabella slowed in its rotation. It was so slight that even if Yan Zaizen was paying attention, he wouldn't have noticed.

However, it seemed the fake black hole did.

Immediately, it collapsed so quickly that Yan Zaizen found himself in the Meteor Ring's space with his Aurora illuminating his figure in its brilliance. As for the black hole, it disappeared completely.

Looking around, Yan Zaizen's eyes narrowed to a needlepoint. In front of him were two orbs of dark-amber that hovered silently next to one another. The size, aura, and radiance were exactly the same. If Yan Zaizen didn't have an intricate connection with his dao, he wouldn't be able to discern which was which.

”As I thought…” In the Yan Clan, during its thousands of years in existence, not a single person could discover their bloodline. This meant, since its founding, the Yan Clan has never had an Origin Core expert!
