What was worse was that Tumu's own situation wasn't as glorious as what he showed on the outside! There was a problem with his divine arts, and it was a problem that he couldn't talk about.
To a body cultivator, divine arts were like a flying sword to a Swordsman! It was the guarantee of their survival, the symbol of their strength, and even the cornerstone of their cultivation.
Tumu's talent was extremely high, and the origin of his bloodline power was ancient. After he built his foundation, he gradually discovered three remarkable divine arts, the Burning Blood Divine Art, the Death Coil Divine Art, and the Shadow Attachment Divine Art … The comprehension of divine arts by body cultivators had a certain degree of randomness. It wasn't that you could comprehend any divine art you wanted, but it was a natural choice based on your body's functions, bloodline inheritance, and other conditions that you couldn't completely control.
Therefore, among the few body cultivators who had divine arts, a large portion of them were useless. They were more inclined towards cultivation, support, and other non-combat aspects. Those who were lucky enough to obtain a combat divine art were experts among the body cultivators. Those who obtained two or three combat divine arts were bound to leave their names on the ranking of the five rings. This was the effect of a powerful combat divine art.
Tumu's three divine arts weren't the most common among the foundation cultivators in the Celestial Movement Sect, but they were the most effective and the most systematic. When they were combined with each other, they could form a powerful combat ability.
For example, the Burning Blood Divine Art allowed him to burn his bloodline at a critical moment in battle to erupt with power without harming his foundation. It was equivalent to having a power amplification device at any time, and there was no need to say more about its use.
The Death Coil Divine Art was a transformation divine art that allowed him to transform into a python and instantly wrap around it. Its strength was so great that it wasn't something a foundation cultivator's body could contend against.
The Shadow Attachment Divine Art, needless to say, was a divine art that could instantly close in and follow like a shadow. It helped body cultivators to unleash their close combat abilities to the maximum.
The three divine arts, the explosive technique, the death technique, and the close combat technique, were a perfect combination. It was no wonder that he could reach his current position at such a young age. He also had a few powerful opponents in the sect, but their divine arts weren't systematic. For example, there were those who had four battle techniques, and there were also those who had several escape techniques. They were abnormally strong in one aspect, but had obvious shortcomings in other aspects. It was very difficult for them to continuously unleash their strength. Once their opponent saw through them and targeted them, their divine arts wouldn't be able to be unleashed!
This was the benefit of having a system of divine arts! There was no need for too many divine abilities, just one for each aspect was enough!
Tumu had relied on his own system of three supernatural powers to shine in the Sky Traversing Sword. At the same time, he had also steadily advanced on the rankings. He was at the peak of his life, but in recent years, he had slowly stopped rising in silence.
As he walked towards the peak of his life, he slowly discovered a terrifying hidden danger — he had the Blood Shriveling Disease!
To mortals, this was a terminal illness, but to cultivators, it was not a big deal. However, this referred to Dharma Cultivators, Swordsman and other non-physical cultivators, not physical cultivators who relied on their blood vessels, tendons, bones, and skin to survive!
For a body cultivator who constantly stimulated the power of his bloodline to cultivate, train, and battle, the Dry Blood Syndrome meant that he would never be able to improve. Not only that, he would not be able to last long in battle!
When he was still weak, he didn't have a deep understanding of it. However, as his cultivation grew higher and higher, the need for his bloodline became greater and greater. He began to realize the dangers involved!
His own honor, the high hopes of the sect, there were too many burdens on his body that he could not get rid of.
The Blood Shriveling Disease was very rare. It was not because of cultivation, but a congenital disease. Simply put, it was a hereditary disease. It was the most common disease among close relatives!
He was the tragedy that appeared in this kind of clan!
He couldn't tell the sect about this kind of thing!
With the development of the cultivation world to this point, some principles and ethics had already been gradually ingrained in people's hearts and became a kind of survival principle. If he opened his mouth and explained the reason, and the news leaked out, there would be countless people laughing at him behind his back: Look, that person is a freak who reproduces by close relatives. His children and grandchildren can't escape the shadow of this bloodline. Even if it doesn't appear in this generation, it will definitely appear in the next generation!
He was such a proud person. This kind of result would be better than killing him! Moreover, it would also bring shame to the sect that had done their best to nurture him!
He decided to solve the problem himself! He could only do it himself!
These past few years, he had begun to not be as crazy and aggressive as before. Instead, he had focused on his own problems. For a body cultivator, this was too quiet. But for someone who had already achieved great things, people would feel that he was more mature, had a higher state of mind, and had a more promising future!
Actually, he was just afraid that if he fought for too long, he would be exposed!
The environment would always force you to make the wrong choice and walk further and further down the wrong path, and you would always think that you were right! Actually, even if he told a few of his closest teachers, what else could they do? Would everyone know about it? Jin Dan's vision would be broader and more insightful. Even if he could not cure it completely, he could at least lessen it to the greatest extent!
But he was unwilling to open his mouth. He thought that it was his own pride, but in reality, it was just that he coveted that little bit of fame. He was unwilling to let his legend collapse in front of everyone!
In the following ten years, he had tried countless methods, whether it was martial arts, pills, or external objects. Unfortunately, he had achieved nothing!
Unless he changed his blood! But, if he changed his blood, would he still be him? Would he still have those divine abilities that he had painstakingly obtained?
He finally understood that all of this still had to fall on the foundation of body cultivation. If he could cultivate a divine ability that could counter the Dry Blood Disease!
In Tian Xingjian's body cultivation divine abilities, there was such a divine ability, the Brimming Blood Divine Ability!
This was a very ordinary divine ability. In fact, the first divine ability that many body cultivators awakened was this Brimming Blood Divine Ability. Its function was very simple and very basic. It was to flourish the power of one's bloodline, and take it as the foundation of endless growth and prosperity!
To ordinary body cultivators who did not have the Dry Blood Disease, this was a useless and useless divine ability! But to Tumu, who had the Dry Blood Disease, it was a heaven-sent medicine. He had never yearned for a divine ability so much. But what made him feel awkward was that the heavens had used all of his luck on combat divine abilities, but had not given him the most basic divine ability!
In the field that he was most proficient in, the field that he had always relied on to run rampant, the gift that the heavens had given him was so enviable, yet also made him feel despair!
He understood that with just his own strength, he would never be able to awaken the most ordinary Brimming Blood Divine Ability. Those powerful divine abilities were easier for him, but this most ordinary one was the most difficult!
Thus, he thought of the Peacock Palace, and thought of the miraculous Peacock Blood. It had a very high probability of determining the direction of a divine ability, allowing him to use the Peacock Blood to obtain the Brimming Blood Divine Ability.
No body cultivator would think of using the most precious Peacock Blood to obtain the most ordinary Brimming Blood Divine Ability. But to Tumu, at his current stage, the Brimming Blood Divine Ability was the most important!
