Using the skeleton of the Winged Tiger and the paper man as flesh and divine soul, Lu Yuan revived a brand new beast of antiquity.
This was a plan that Lu Yuan had thought of a long time ago.
He had thought about it before. The paper men could imitate a Beast of Antiquity using cultivation techniques.
If there were skeletons of Beast of Antiquity, the degree of imitation would be even higher.
And the actual result made Lu Yuan very happy.
The special Winged Tiger created from the combination of the Paper Man and the Winged Tiger’s skeleton had basically replicated 90% of the charm of the Beast of Antiquity, winged tiger.
Lu Yuan visualized his own Four Emblems Sword Array, white tiger Sword, based on this winged tiger, and the efficiency was extraordinarily high.
In the visualization, Lu Yuan’s golden core began to change.
Half of the original golden core had already turned into a blur.
Now, the blurred part was still accelerating.
As long as a quarter of the golden core is blurred, it meant that Lu Yuan’s white tiger Sword cultivation had been successful.
The white tiger Sword was the main attack weapon of the Four Emblems Sword Array.
When the white tiger Sword was refined, Lu Yuan’s strength would have a considerable increase.
However, even if Lu Yuan had a living winged tiger as a reference, he still needed a long time to refine the white tiger Sword.
This period of time was about ten years.
While Lu Yuan was in secluded cultivation, the Upper Realm also began their actions around the thousand-year battle.
Upper Realm, Demon Clan, Stellar Moon Cave.
“Ruyan’s talent is truly astonishing. 1 originally thought that she would at least have to wait until the beginning of the thousand-year Battle or even at the end of it before she could break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.”
“But from the looks of it, she might be able to form her own primordial spirit and reach the Nascent Soul Stage before the thousand-year battle even begins.”
Xu Ze, the elder of the Stellar Moon Cave commented as he looked at the strange phenomenon coming from where Meng Ruyan was in secluded cultivation.
Beside him, another elder of the Stellar Moon Cave also echoed, “If her half-demon body can have such a terrifying bloodline density, then if her father was also a direct descendant of our clan, then the bloodline density would be unimaginable.”
Xu Ze turned around and objected,” Fellow Daoist Luan, you’re being biased. I think it’s because Meng Ruyan’s father is a human that she has such amazing achievements.”
“The intelligence of the human race and the bloodline advantage of the demon clan are vividly reflected in this child.”
“Bloodline power is not the same as the realm. Under the Apotheosis Stage, our bloodline advantage is not much better than the other races. Meng Ruyan’s achievements today are largely related to her natural talent.”
“I believe that even without the bloodline of the Nine-tailed clan, this child’s achievements will not be much lower.”
Hearing Xu Ze’s admiration for the half-human bloodline in Meng Ruyan, the conservative fraction, Shen Qiuyue frowned and did not reply.
She looked at Xu Ze and said, “Xu Ze, 1 know that you’re one of the few people in the clan who’s a revolutionary. But you don’t have to hint at us over and over again. Do you really think that we don’t know how much benefits it will bring to our clan if we let go of the restrictions on direct marriages?”
“Allowing direct descendants to marry outsiders can indeed increase the authority of our Qingqiu clan in the Fox clan to a certain extent. However, have you ever thought if these outsiders will really stand on our side?”
“Let me give you the simplest example. If there is a conflict between our clan and the Spirit Sword Sect in the future, do you think that Meng Ruyan, whose father is from the Spirit Sword Sect, would be as relentless? And our clan could not trust her enough due to this?”
Hearing this, Xu Ze hesitated.
However, Shen Qiuyue didn’t give him the chance to speak. Instead, she interrupted, “You don’t have to be in a hurry to object. I think you should know the answer to this question.”
“A half-demon is still a half-demon. No matter how much they look like humans, they still can’t gain the same trust as a full demon.”
“You’ve only considered the reason why the Qingqiu clan is declining in numbers, but you haven’t considered the status of these half-demons in the clan.”
“Those who are not of my race will definitely have different hearts.”
“We have never questioned the potential of half-demons. We object based on the worry that they can truly remain loyal to our race after obtaining power.”
“There’s a very good saying about the magic instrument called the mobile phone that Ziyu got from the lower realm. Loyalty is not absolute, but it’s equivalent to absolute disloyalty.”
“Half-demons, especially the half-demons of humans and demons, are destined to be unable to maintain absolute loyalty to our race.”
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Meng Ruyan. Let’s see if she recognizes her identity as a demon or a human more.”
After saying that, Shen Qiuyue left decisively, leaving Xu Ze alone.
Xu Ze looked at Shen Qiuyue’s back and sighed.
How could Xu Ze not know about the problems of the half-demons and the concerns of the conservative faction.
However, Xu Ze believed that there was no such thing as a win-win situation.
It was not scary to have problems, what’s scary was not daring to face the problems.
In Xu Ze’s opinion, the loyalty of the half-demons was indeed a problem. However, this problem compared with the decreasing number of direct bloodlines and the decreasing authority of the Qingqiu Clan in the Stellar Moon Cave, was not that serious..
