Chapter 1158: Life Origination
There was quite a stir at Golden Isle due to Li Qiye’s sudden arrival and successful crossing of the one hundred and eight bloodline jade test.
Though the isle had long been prepared for this groom selection, this new bloodline coming out of nowhere caught them off guard. Thus, while the disciple arranged the living quarters for Li Qiye, several ancestors gathered to discuss this matter. Even the isle lord showed up.
After all, the main protagonist this time was his daughter, so he was more attentive about this than anyone else.
The ancestors glanced at each other while one of them spoke: “I don’t think there has ever been a bloodline that passed through all the refined jade surfaces.”
“Outside of our treefathers, the Silver Treefather’s imperial prince had done so. I think he also passed all of the tests.” A different ancestor corrected him.
Even though the apex experts of the treants couldn’t become Immortal Emperors, in the eyes of many people, they were equal to Immortal Emperors. In this way, their direct children were also imperial children.
“Perhaps something was wrong with the platform?” Another ancestor questioned the validity of the test.
The Golden Isle Lord gently shook his head: “Ancestor, there was definitely no problem. I have already rechecked the platform and it is fine.”
“It can’t have a problem because it was created by the treefathers. It isn’t something so easily broken.” One of the ancestors was very confident with his sect’s platform.
Another added: “A bloodline of the imperial prince level… This has not appeared in the Heaven Spirit World for a long time.”
The third ancestor elaborated: “At the very least, not for the human race.”
The isle lord mused for a second before stating: “I’m afraid it is not an imperial bloodline of the contemporary generation. It has to be an even older one if our platform cannot analyze his lineage and origin. This means that his original ancestors are even older than our treefathers.”
An ancestor responded: “Such an ancient bloodline is all the more precious due to its greater purity.”
From a certain perspective, the isle lord was correct. Li Qiye’s bloodline had been polished several times. After numerous refinements, it had become very powerful. More importantly, he also refined the true blood of the Blood Progenitor and three Immortal Emperors from the Blood-devil Tribe, resulting in his bloodline becoming even more powerful and ancient.
The second ancestor clapped his hands and said: “Such a bloodline is a perfect match for our princess.”
“Senior Brother, you can’t put it that way.” The third ancestor slightly shook his head: “I’m afraid that when an imperial prince bloodline and an even older one combine, it will lead to conflicts between the bloodlines. This level of bloodline might lead to a descendant with a human bloodline whereas we want a powerful descendant with our bloodline this time.”
This opinion made the elders and isle lord stare at each other.
The main reason why these lineages liked powerful human bloodlines was because of reproduction. As long as their race’s bloodline was strong enough, the offspring would surely inherit their side.
However, if the groom’s lineage was of an ancient imperial line, then it became a different story. Perhaps the human bloodline would overcome the treefather’s bloodline and the child would be more human instead.
The isle lord asked the ancestor standing in front of him: “What should we do now? Shall we cancel the marriage and give him some compensation then let him leave?”
The first ancestor pondered for a bit before replying: “Nothing is impossible. In principle, we treants don’t need to preserve our blood’s purity. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be marrying humans. This might actually be a good thing. We don’t have to decide to breed our bloodline in this generation.”
With that, he surveyed the rest of the group and continued: “So what if the offspring will have an imperial prince bloodline? This also means that we can multiply this particular bloodline! At the same time, it leaves us with a better bloodline. And it’s not like we can’t have human descendants in our line.”
The other ancestors wondered for a bit before agreeing: “This is indeed understandable. We can postpone passing down our bloodline for now. Even if the future offspring carries an imperial prince lineage, it would only make our sect stronger and richer with legacies. If we could produce an Immortal Emperor, it could even change the current temperament of our isle.”
“An Immortal Emperor from a treant lineage… this will be an amazing experiment.” Even the Golden Isle Lord felt his heart beating faster with excitement.
For both treants and sea demons, their ultimate fate was to be stuck at the Heaven Spirit World. Due to their own powerful bloodlines, it was difficult for them to have offspring with a different bloodline winning out. Thus, they didn’t have Immortal Emperors like the humans and other races.
