C3453 The Plight of the Qilins
All the way here, Among the cities in the Qilin World, Qin Yi saw many descendants of pure-blooded Qilins and other races.
They were the descendants of the Human Clan, True Dragons, Heaven Swallowing Sparrow, and other races.
The closer he got to the center of the Qilin World, the more pure-blooded Qilins he saw.
At first, Qin Yi was a little surprised. He thought that there would only be pureblood Qilins in the Qilin World.
However, after thinking about it, Qin Yi suddenly understood.
Although pure-blooded Qilins could become Emperor when they reached adulthood, it was precisely because of this that it was extremely difficult for pure-blooded Qilins to give birth to offspring.
It was very likely that the two pure-blooded Qilins wouldn't be able to give birth to a single descendant even if they died. It was precisely because of this that the Qilin race was almost completely wiped out.
According to Fairy Ling Shang, when the Qilin race almost went extinct, an ancestor of the Qilin race came up with a brilliant method.
Just like the True Dragons, they wanted the Qilin Race to form a marriage alliance with other races to continue the bloodline of the Qilin Race.
Initially, the Kirin Clan didn't agree with this plan. Most pure-blooded Qilins believed that doing so would pollute the bloodline of the Kirin Clan.
To a certain extent, descendants born through marriage with other races were no longer members of the Qilin Race.
Even if some of these descendants could rely on their own efforts to purify their own bloodlines and become true pure-blooded Qilins.
However, this type of Qilin descendant was only a small number in the end.
Even more Qilin descendants couldn't become true pure-blooded Qilins.
Moreover, the Qilin Race was different from the True Dragons.
The members of the True Dragons were mostly lustful and liked to plant seeds everywhere. As a result, the bloodline of the True Dragons was circulating everywhere in the All Heavens and Realms.
Most of the Qilins were devoted to love, and usually, they would choose their spouses one after another.
As a result, after the Qilins started to form a marriage alliance with other races, although the Qilins seemed to have grown stronger, the number of pure-blooded Qilins continued to decrease.
This made many of the Qilin Race's elders feel quite dissatisfied. They ordered the Qilin Race to be restricted from forming a marriage alliance with other races.
However, later on, things turned for the better.
The Qilin Race ancestor who proposed a marriage alliance with other races refined a supreme treasure called the Qilin Blood Pool.
This supreme treasure had the same function as the True Dragons's dragon gate. It could purify the bloodline density of the Qilin Race's descendants, allowing them to continuously purify their bloodlines until they transformed into true pure-blooded Qilins.
Because of the Qilin blood pool's existence, many of the Qilin elders also agreed to the marriage alliance with other races.
Even though every time the Qilin blood pool opened, it would require a large amount of resources, but at the very least, it would expand the number of pure-blooded Qilin, allowing the Qilin Race to continue.
"If it wasn't for the fact that the sixth ancestor refined the Qilin blood pool, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have been able to become a pure-blooded Qilins for the rest of my life."
Fairy Ling Shang sighed.
"Oh?"
Qin Yi looked at Fairy Ling Shang in surprise.
"My father is a pure-blooded Qilin, but my mother is only a member of the Turbid Mountain Flying Serpent Clan. When I was born, she was only a mixed blood Qilin."
Fairy Ling Shang smiled and said, "Because of the Qilin blood pool, I was able to transform into a pure-blooded Qilin and reach this step."
As she spoke, she was filled with gratitude towards the sixth ancestor who refined the Qilin blood pool.2
In other words, most of the mixed blood Qilins were grateful towards the sixth ancestor of the Qilin Race.
It was because the Sixth Ancestor gave them hope that they could transform into pure-blooded Qilins.
Transforming into pure-blooded Qilins would not only increase their status in the Qilin Race, but also allow their own path of cultivation to be smoother.
For example, Fairy Ling Shang. Before entering the Qilin blood pool, she might not be able to break through to the Monarch Stage realm for the rest of her life.
It was precisely because the Qilin Blood Pool had purified her bloodline that allowed her to break through to the Monarch Stage realm. Later on, she relied on the Qilin Blood Pool to become a pure-blooded Qilin.
Up until now, she had become a Third Stage Emperor.
One could imagine how grateful she was to the Sixth Ancestor.
Even Pan Jiuyue looked at Fairy Ling Shang in surprise. She, who had been fighting Fairy Ling Shang all this time, didn't know that she had such a past.
One must know that when Pan Jiuyue first met Fairy Ling Shang, she was already a pure-blooded Qilin.
This was the first time she knew that Fairy Ling Shang was not a pure-blooded Qilin when she was born.
"Qilin Mountain has arrived."
At this moment, Fairy Ling Shang suddenly pointed forward.
A towering mountain that was thousands of feet tall and straight into the blue sky stood in the vast expanse.
Countless Chaotic Essences fell down and enveloped the mountain.
It was precisely the center of the Qilin Great World.
Qilin Mountain.
