It was the problem of the bloodline shackles again!
Grim supported his chin with his hand, sizing up Bliss as he sighed.
As a Bloodline Sorcerer, in the first half of a Sorcerer's life, be it in the battles between Sorcerers or the acquisition of sorcery knowledge, they had a lot of advantages. Among Sorcerers of the same rank, Bloodline Sorcerers had the advantages of Anatomy Refinery Sorcerers and Elemental Sorcerers, but they did not have their shortcomings.
However, once they reached the bloodline shackles, it would be an almost unsolvable problem!
The essence of Bloodline Sorcerers was to continuously purify their bloodlines and reproduce the terrifying combat power of some powerful creatures from ancient times. However, there were thousands of bloodline sources that they chose, and not all of them could be improved infinitely.
Most Bloodline Sorcerers could only try their best to approach the terrifying power of ancient monsters, but they were limited by the contamination and mixing of their bloodlines, and it was difficult to reach the same level as them.
If a Bloodline Sorcerer's source of origin was a rank 6 creature in ancient times, then after countless years of changes, Sorcerers of today could reproduce most of its power. Reaching rank 4 or 5 was already considered a pure bloodline.
There were only two ways to completely reproduce the power of an ancient monster and reach rank 6 at its peak. One was to traverse thousands of mountains and rivers, searching for the pure-blooded descendants of that monster in every plane or sea of stars. The other was to hide in a sorcery lab for years, thinking of ways to purify their own bloodlines day after day.
Apart from this, there was no other way to continue improving!
Changing bloodlines halfway? Sure, there was always a higher mountain to look for. If you wanted to use a high-grade bloodline to replace an original low-grade bloodline, then the backlash and mixing of the two bloodlines would be a big problem that you had to solve as soon as possible.
According to the records of the Sorcerer World, changing bloodlines once did not have a huge impact on the Sorcerer's origin. However, from the second time onwards, the difficulty of changing bloodlines would increase exponentially, to the point where the origin of the soul would be damaged.
Moreover, until now, Sorcerers had not found a way to 'perfect' bloodline replacement. Every time a bloodline was replaced, the remnants of the old bloodline would cause serious' contamination 'to the new bloodline, which would affect the depth of fusion between the new bloodline and the host's body and soul.
The more the bloodline was replaced, the more 'contamination' was left behind.
Once the accumulation of unstable factors exceeded the limits of the physical body, the final outcome would be the collapse of the body.
Due to the difficulty of bloodline replacement, many wizards chose to adopt the 'bloodline modification' method. They would no longer replace the entire bloodline. Instead, they would tinker and extract some powerful abilities from a certain bloodline and infuse it into their original bloodline, thus forming a 'hybrid' situation.
This kind of bloodline modification did indeed reduce the difficulty by a lot, but it also caused more serious bloodline contamination!
Those who were determined to continue to improve their strength would never use such a method, because it was more difficult to advance with a contaminated bloodline. Once the contamination exceeded a certain level, the lightest consequence would be the loss of the hope of advancing to the next rank. In the worst case, one would become neither human nor ghost, and it would be difficult for them to communicate with other wizards.
Within the Crimson Family, the number of bloodline Magi increased day by day.
They had yet to advance to the next rank, and there was still a long way to go before they could touch the bloodline shackles. This problem was not that urgent. However, high-ranked bloodline Magi such as Bug Lich Bliss and Blood Queen Mary would more or less face similar problems.
If the family couldn't come up with an effective solution, for the sake of their own future, these high-grade Sorcerers might leave their families en masse to join the three major Sorcerer Organizations.
After all, if a single Magus family could not solve a problem, the three major Magus organisations might be able to find a solution.
Thus, when Bliss appeared in front of him, Grim realized that the Crimson Family lacked materials and knowledge in bloodline research. If this situation continued, when the Magi nurtured by the family advanced to the next rank, the bloodline shackles would restrict the family's strength even more.
It was time to set up a bloodline research lab … Some projects related to bloodlines also needed to be researched immediately … The family's bloodline materials storage also needed to be expanded …
After comforting Bliss, Leylin collected large amounts of bug blood, bug carapace, and flesh from his body. In the end, when Grim used the excuse of finding a way to solve the bloodline shackles problem, Bliss even gritted his teeth and offered up a drop of origin blood from the Bug Queen.
If not for the fact that he could not solve the bloodline shackles problem himself, he would not have been able to obtain such materials and data even if he killed Bliss. After all, he was now a powerful mid-ranked Magus. Exposing all his secrets and data to another Magus … This could be said to be an extremely daring and risky move.
If Grimm really had any ill intentions towards him, the flesh and blood that he had taken from him would be more than enough to control his life and death.
After sending Bliss away, Grim muttered to himself for a moment before giving the A.I. Chip a new mission.
"A.I. Chip, prepare to build a family bloodline database based on the information and data we have."
[Beep. Mission accepted … Database is being constructed and perfected …]
After a long and messy search, a preliminary bloodline database was projected in Grim's mind.
[Beep. Bloodline database established … Currently, the database contains the following special bloodline branches: Dragon bloodline (7%), Vampire bloodline (52%), Astral beast bloodline (3%), Mechanical Magus bloodline (23%), Insect bloodline (13%), Giant Serpent bloodline (48%), Elf bloodline (83%), Beast race bloodline (26%), Holy Light bloodline (92%), Spore bloodline (17%) …]
Grim slowly scanned through the database, and could not help but feel apprehensive.
Every time he went to a region or a plane, he would think of ways to collect and sort out the magic knowledge, magical creatures, and resources of the natives. Unknowingly, he had come into contact with and investigated so many special bloodlines in the past 200 years.
The A.I. Chip even marked the completeness of the information it had collected and organized behind each unique bloodline.
Once the information on a bloodline reached 100%, it meant that the bloodline was no longer a secret to Grim. As long as he had enough bloodline materials and test subjects, Grim could easily modify or modify the bloodline.
In extreme cases, Grimm could even create some 'Pseudo Bloodlines'!
Although it was a 'fake bloodline', with the A.I. Chip's meticulous and terrifying control, the person with the fake bloodline would not be any weaker than a real bloodline. However, the spells used might be too intense or berserk, causing the person with the bloodline to have a 'small' loss in potential or lifespan.
However, for most low-ranked Magi, as long as they could obtain more powerful innate abilities and battle prowess, a small loss in vitality was nothing!
Grim looked at the list of bloodlines, and could not help but mutter to himself.
Of all the special bloodlines, only the Holy Light bloodline and the Elven bloodline had the most complete information.
According to Grim's estimations, this was related to the Holy Light bloodline and the Elven bloodline that he had killed and collected.
For example, the Holy Light bloodline had killed more than a dozen Grade 3 Golden Knights in one go, and he had even plundered a Holy Light cemetery that had the skeleton of a Grade 4 Holy Knight. This meant that he had already collected all the basic information on Holy Knights from Grade 1 to Grade 4.
If he had the chance, he could study the skeleton of the Grade 4 Holy Knight in his storage ring and complete the information on the Holy Light bloodline to 100% without a problem.
As for the Elven bloodline, it was purely related to his crazy massacre in the Lance Plane!
In order to help Alice obtain the Prophecy Scepter, Grim and his party had killed tens of thousands of elves, and they had killed almost all the combat and life professions of the elven race. If not for the lack of information on Grade 4 elves, the information on the Elven bloodline would have been shockingly complete.
Apart from that, the Giant Serpent and Vampire bloodlines in the database were also close to 50% complete.
Grim had already killed two Giant Serpent Sorcerers and obtained the rare Giant Serpent Bloodline Regeneration Potion and Pureblood Potion. It was all thanks to their help that the Giant Serpent Bloodline's completion rate was so high.
As for the Vampire bloodline, it was all thanks to Mary.
With Mary's company, Yang Ling had researched quite a number of Grade 1 to Grade 3 Vampire Sorcerers, but he had only managed to complete half of the Vampire bloodline.
Now that Mary had become a Pureblood Vampire, it should not be difficult for her to reach Grade 4. However, Shi Feng was at a loss as to how he should proceed after Tier 4. If Grim did not help her, with Mary's talent as a Sorcerer and Vampire, it would be almost impossible for her to find her own path!
Moreover, Grim had become a Bloodline Sorcerer, and he had the rare Astral Beast bloodline.
The advantage of this bloodline was its strange Chaotic Constitution, which allowed him to absorb a portion of the chaotic energy. Moreover, according to the records of the Sorcerer World, Astral Beasts were powerful creatures of Chaos up to Grade 8.
Even if Grim's Astral Beast bloodline was slightly inferior, it would not be a problem for him to avoid bloodline shackles before he reached Grade 7.
Hence, Grim now had both the Bloodline Sorcerer and Elemental Sorcerer paths.
A Bloodline Sorcerer would grant him a strong physique and powerful bloodline abilities, while an Elemental Sorcerer would grant him unparalleled elemental might.
Either one of these two paths was worth a lifetime of polishing and nurturing by Magi. Now, Grim wanted to have both, which meant that he would need to spend at least twice as much precious resources and knowledge as other Sorcerers of the same grade.
