"But I'm still puzzled; how will your essence forming lead to a rupture?"
"Wouldn't that be a positive outcome? Because then it means you're getting stronger?" He inquired.
"Well, you'd be correct if one crucial element wasn't missing," she replied.
"And what might that be?" he asked.
"That would be your qi veins," she explained.
She went on to describe how cultivation worked and why a bloodline was necessary for genuine strength.
Initially, when you begin to cultivate, you absorb energy from your surroundings—be it from the wind, birds, trees, grass, clouds, or even the earth. Everything in existence contains energy, and through cultivation, you convert this energy into essence, which your body uses to enhance itself. This process allows you to become more powerful, but as you progress, your body struggles to contain this energy. Consequently, the energy becomes unstable and uncontrollable, causing fractures in your body, effectively shattering your bones and rendering you incapable of further cultivation. That's where bloodlines come into play; when awakened, they fortify your veins, providing your body with the means to stabilize itself, resulting in a martial body capable of cultivation and ascension.
"Oh," he exclaimed.
"Well, that certainly makes sense. So, how do I awaken my bloodline?" he eagerly asked.
"From what we know, there are only two methods," she responded. "One involves tempering your body with beast blood and various resources like pills, precious herbs, and rare materials. However, this method is not recommended as it diminishes the quality of your bloodline, limiting your potential."
"What's the second method?" he inquired.
"The second method is more advantageous but typically employed by powerful sects, families, and seasoned cultivators with disciples. It is usually more expensive than the first approach, but it unlocks the full potential of your bloodline."
"There are also rankings when it come to bloodlines, from the lower levels you have the - mortal bloodlines- martial bloodlines- profound bloodlines- imperial bloodlines, and the strongest bloodline in the mortal continent is the kings bloodline."
"How can I awaken my bloodline, then?" he asked.
"You'll have to consult your master for guidance," said Nan Yue.
With that, Li Wei bid the sisters farewell and headed toward Sage Yu's hall.
