Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 762 Bloodlines [2]

Chapter 762  Bloodlines [2]

"The bloodlines are divided into two categories. Mortal and Spirit."

"Most people think that only supreme mages can create a bloodline, but that isn't right. Peak Monarchs, with the correct method, could create one too, though they would be reduced to an ordinary person afterwards. So, the monarchs who have reached the end of their lifespans and have no possibility of ascending to the supreme mage realm chose to sacrifice their cultivation to create a bloodline that they pass on to the descendants."

"Most of the bloodlines that you may have come across until now are the creation of these monarchs. Though based on their purity and strength, people divide them into noble, royal, and other categories; that's all wrong because they are all Mortal Bloodlines."

As he said this, Alton sighed, a rueful smile on his face. "See, a monarch is the strongest person if the supreme mages aren't taken into consideration, and all their lives, they rule and command an immense amount of respect from people. At will, they can create one of the strongest forces to ever exist and can establish dynasties that will rule for thousands upon thousands of years, but the bloodline they create by essentially sacrificing their lives is considered mortal. How sad is that!"

Max nodded, understanding why he was feeling melancholic about it. This case was similar to those of those people who chase wealth and fame all their lives and end up becoming rich and famous, but when they get old, or are about to die, they realize the wealth and fame they had were all useless. They had wasted their lives.

Alton shook his head and continued, "The reason the bloodlines created by the monarchs fall under the Mortal category isn't because they aren't strong; they are. But it's because after some generations, these bloodlines lose all their life or potency, whatever you like to call it, and no matter how hard someone tries, he can't awaken them. There are many people whose ancestors had bloodlines, but they don't have them."

After a pause, he continued, "On the other hand, the bloodlines created by the supreme mages that come under the Spirit category, no matter how many generations come and go and no matter how thin the bloodlines become, they can still awaken. Of course, their strength would be a lot lower due to them now being thin and impure."

A curious look appeared on Max's face when he heard this. Alton noticed it and smiled, "You want to ask why this is the case? What's special about the supreme mage realm?"

Max nodded, eager to listen. But to his surprise, Alton shook his head, "I don't know what exactly it is. But from the ancestral records of my family and the teaching of a few monarchs, I guess it's something related to the soul. But it's just a guess because most of the information about the supreme mage realm had been lost in that apocalyptic war back then."

"Sir Alton… Is it true there are no supreme mages alive right now?" Max asked, remembering hearing that no one had broken through to the supreme mage realm for a long time.

"No supreme mage has been seen for the past thousands of years. The last known supreme mage was around 30 thousand years ago. However, this doesn't mean there aren't any supreme mages. There are, I'm sure of it. They just don't show themselves." Alton said, his eyes flickering. 'If I'm not wrong, we may get to see them at the end of this war.' He thought.

"Alright. Let's continue. Both the mortal and spirit bloodlines are divided into nine grades based on their purity, thickness, utility, and strength…"

Alton continued to divulge his knowledge about the bloodlines for the next hour. And then he vanished from the room, leaving Max to digest everything he heard.

After a while, he sighed, "It seems I have to hire him a few times more."

Alton had told him the reason some bloodlines influence the people was due to the will of their progenitor that wanted them to walk the correct path. In most cases, going along with the flow was for the best, but because people didn't like to be controlled, they had created ways to reduce the influence because completely getting rid of it wasn't possible as long as the bloodline was a part of their being.

The most effective and less complicated way was to slowly taint the will inside the bloodline with their aura. To do that, however, one needed an expert level of mastery and control over their aura, which Max was lacking. He could try it after mixing his bloodline energy into his aura, but that wouldn't be as effective, as his bloodline energy would dilute his aura, his signature. Therefore, he had to start his aura training, for which he would need guidance, and hence, he would need to hire Alton again. Of course, even if not for this, he would have had to hire him again because he wanted to reach a superior mana control stage as soon as possible and start comprehending the laws.

Now, however, he had no war merits left. This meant he would need to participate in more fights, which would be more dangerous with forces hostile to him on both sides.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. "Let's cultivate first."

He walked over to the cultivation platform and sat down on it cross-legged. He still had 24 days left in this training room, which he was going to use to temper his foundation and increase his cultivation.

'Wyomin should be done guiding Emily, Lily, and Sera by the time I finish.'

…

While he began cultivating, in another training room, Emily, Lily, and Sera were being guided and trained by Wyomin and… Rose, who, after sensing Lily's aura on Wyomin, had asked her about her disciple and then realizing Max had asked her to help them, decided to join.

With two emperors guiding them, the trio, especially Emily and Sera, were learning a lot. When Max would meet them again, he would see three transformed ladies.
