Chapter 671: Exponential Growth Of Allies (1/2)
Lin Mu sat in a private courtyard that had been built for him by the Mu clan. He was going through the tens of reports that had been given to him by the various allies that they had now.
~Sigh~
”Is this how Wu Hei felt, managing an organization?” Lin Mu muttered to himself.
Lin Mu's plan was going forward steadily, and another month had passed just like this. The Fen clan had finally managed to release their bloodline seal and had shot forward in cultivation base.
In less than two weeks, they had six Nascent Soul realm cultivators appearing in their clan, including Miss Fen herself. This was a shocking increase, even for a top cultivation sect, and had made Lin Mu question Xukong about it.
”Seems like this was more of a cursed seal rather than an actual bloodline seal. This inhibited their own talent and prevented them from progressing.” Xukong replied.
”What's the difference between a cursed seal and an actual bloodline seal, senior?” Lin Mu questioned.
”If it were an actual bloodline seal, even if they had released it, their potential would have taken quite a while to recover. It's like a paralyzed patient. Even if they are cured of their paralysis, it still takes them a long time to recover full control of their body.
Whereas in a cursed seal, even if the seal was suppressing them from progressing, their potential was still there. I reckon when the seal was originally placed it would have been successful in suppressing both their talent and potential, but over the years as more and more descendants were born, the grip of the curse weakened.
The potential of the cultivators was still being suppressed, but their talent had already recovered and now, with the seal removed, it was like a dam being broken. Plus, we say before that they had very stable foundations.” Xukong explained.
”I see… I guess having the Fen clan as our allies will be far better than I thought. It still feels unreal how someone this powerful was living here, hidden in plain sight.” Lin Mu said with a sign.
”Hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere in the world. All you need to do is look properly.
Besides, we know that this world has been in a decline for a long time now. With the potential, this world had, it should have easily had a lot more strong cultivators, but the constant wars and invasions in the past have weakened it considerably.
The degeneration of cultivation knowledge is also one of the main causes for this, I must say.” Xukong replied.
Hearing this, Lin Mu was suddenly reminded of something.
”Is this how… the other cultivation worlds are senior?” Lin Mu asked.
”Indeed. Clans with talent similar to the Fen clan are abundant and can even be considered average. The only reason, why the world you live in is not at the lowest rank is because it still has cultivation.
