167: Way of Cultivation

Way of Cultivation

"Thank goodness, so Grace can now finally cultivate without any problems? But what cultivation method is she going to use?" Dan asked in curiosity and Natalie stared at George with the same light in her eyes.1

One could only undergo the Inheritance Bestowal once in their lifetime and since Grace failed her Inheritance Trial, she didn't possess the bloodline to cultivate in the same Divine Art as Dan and Natalie.

"You need not worry about that young master, everything is solved..." George lifted a vicious smile before continuing, "However, she cannot cultivate using the conventional means..."

Dan and Natalie frowned at the same time, hearing that her cultivation wouldn't follow the norm made it seem like Grace's path was far more dangerous and stranger than them.

"If the young mistress wanted to increase her cultivation and break through realms, she not only needs to absorb triple the necessary Spiritual Qi, but she also needs a spark that would ignite the potential tucked within her soul..." George stood stoic, yet his expression that was full of anticipation and excitement contrasted his figure.

Dan and Natalie stared at each other for a moment. Both of them had a premonition in their hearts. Sweeping their gaze over to George, they asked together, "A spark that would ignite her potential? What spark is that?"

"It's really simple, young master, she just needs to kill anyone whose body possessed enough negative energies to fuel the demonic cultivation method of our Clan insider her body..." George casually said these words but when the two heard it, their figures froze and they became speechless for a while.

Dan frowned and scanned Grace's body using the system.

[Results: Longinus Clan Noble Bloodline; Purity: 55%]

[Vermillion Clan Noble Bloodline; Purity: 41%]

[Least Common Ancestor; Purity: 3%]

[Pure Elves; Purity: 1%]

[The Target has a high amount of concentrated negative energies inside her body, increasing the strength of her physique, mind, and soul to a considerable degree. However, these effects will only become visible once the target, cultivated.]

"George, can I ask you a question? Why is her bloodline of the Longinus Clan purer than her maiden bloodline?" Dan asked with confusion evident on her face, unlike Natalie that didn't possess any Noble Bloodline before she accepted the Longinus Clan's Inheritance. Grace had her own Noble Bloodline and it should be purer than the transplanted one.

"Well, since she's your wife, it is right for me to say everything about her condition. Actually, I changed Grace's physique so that she could forcefully cultivate the Lightning God's cultivation method. However, even though I succeeded, in doing that, the result was she cannot make a breakthrough without consuming enough negative energies from her surroundings." George clearly explained and Dan locked his eyebrows in deep thought.

"George, I don't seem to remember anything about having to consume negative energies before breaking through within the Blessing of the Lightning God's scriptures, why is it that she needs to do such a sinister thing, don't tell me that you're just saying this for the sake of converting her to the dark side?"

Dan's words made Natalie apprehensive as she stared warily at George. This old man acted so mysterious and possessed an unfathomable power that she could never hope to defeat. Fortunately, the three of them were families if not, Natalie was willing to bet that George would've annihilated them already.

"Of course I am not lying to you, young master! All that I've been doing are for the sake of the Longinus Clan's prosperity. I had to do this to your wife so that I could secure her loyalty towards you..."

"Loyalty, towards me? What do you mean? Are you saying that if you didn't do this to her, you cannot guarantee her loyalty towards me? Can you elaborate that for me?" Crimson lights flashed within Dan's eyes and Natalie held the sleeve of his robe.

Her countenance revealed anxiousness and worry but Dan patted her head and reassured her that everything was fine. He just wanted to clarify everything. After all, his wife was involved.

"Grace is a Bloodline Inheritor of one of the Longinus Clan's greatest nemesis of all time, the Vermillion Clan. So I made it that once she knew her relations with those bastards and tried changing sides. The Curse of the Lightning God will swallow her entire soul, preventing her from reincarnating."

"The Curse of the Lightning God? What is that?" Natalie blurted out and the two stared at George, seeking enlightenment about this matter.

George revealed a small smile and patiently explained, "Gods provide not only blessings but also curse. Grace acquired the curse version, but there's not much difference between the two. The only disparity that they had was those who had the curse version of the cultivation method would forever become loyal to the Longinus Clan..."

Dan's expression went dim, he didn't like the idea of someone coercing others into doing something that they didn't desire and George's actions struck that nerve inside his mind. Calming his rage, he could only think that everything was for Grace's own good and accept the reality before him.

Nevertheless, he still has his questions such as.

"If Grace possessed such a pure bloodline. Then, that Vermillion something clan should've definitely taken care of her better than their apparent heir. Why is it that Grace was abandoned in such a distant continent and experienced hardships that even I cannot imagine?"

Dan didn't understand why they would send such a good seedling towards this distant continent, for a clan to thrive, they needed strong successors and with Grace's bloodline, she could definitely become an expert at the Divine Emperor Realm or even beyond.

The Vermillion Clan's actions were counter-intuitive. But unfortunately, George cannot give him the answer since he was also wondering about it by himself.

By the time that everything was done and over, Dan resolved his mind and prepared to tell Grace about everything that happened as he and Natalie stood together and gently cared for the sleeping Grace.
