Chapter 378 Success and Failure Both Stemmed from Bloodline
He did not come away empty-handed during those three days.
His understanding of the laws of time was already sufficient. With the aid of the illusory image of the river of time, those obscure and difficult mysteries were as clear as an open book in front of him.
The first six attempts all failed at this point.
He thought it was because he wasn't focused enough, or because he wasn't controlling his mind precisely enough.
But this seventh time, he clearly felt that everything was perfect, and the feeling of things falling into place was almost overflowing.
But at that very last moment...
It was as if there was an invisible rule, or an unseen barrier, that forcefully "bounced" away his Dao traces.
The feeling was like trying to force a round block into a square hole.
It is completely incompatible.
"Something's not right, this is definitely not right."
Lin Hanzhou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.
"My comprehension is blessed by talent, my resources are the River of Time, and my cultivation level is also at the eighth level, tenth stage."
"I have the perfect timing, the right place, the right people, and the right person—why can't I carve a single mark on the path?"
"Could there be some hidden threshold in this Great Path of Time that I'm unaware of?"
If he doesn't figure this out, let alone reach the ninth level, he'll probably be stuck here forever, and might even suffer a qi deviation due to forced cultivation.
"No, we can't work behind closed doors."
Lin Hanzhou made a decisive decision.
When faced with such difficult problems in cultivation, trying to figure it out on your own is the dumbest thing to do.
In this era of interconnected universes, if you have a question, of course you should ask the real big shots.
"The Hall of Reincarnation, Trading Area!"
……
With a thought, Lin Hanzhou's consciousness instantly connected with the Samsara Palace.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in that cyberpunk-filled room—the Reincarnation Exclusive Trading Area.
The trading board is constantly updated with a dazzling array of goods, including mechs from the technology side, scrolls from the magic side, flying swords from the cultivation side... you name it.
But Lin Hanzhou had no interest in any of that at the moment.
He opened the search box in the trading section and quickly typed in keywords.
[Advancement from Eighth to Ninth Rank], [Reasons for Failure to Polish Dao Marks], [The Mysteries of the Great Dao of Time]
"Splash—"
Instantly, tens of thousands of posts and intelligence entries popped up.
Lin Hanzhou blocked out the low-level posts with only a few hundred points and sorted them directly by "price" and "positive review rate" in descending order.
Soon, a premium post priced at 100,000 Reincarnation Points caught his eye.
[Title: The Ultimate Analysis of "Dao Marks" - Why Can't You Condense Dao Marks Even When You Have Enough Understanding? (Including Taboos for Special Races)]
[Author: All-Knowing Scholar of All Realms (Pseudo-Fairyland)]
Positive review rate: 99.8%
[Introduction]: This post provides a detailed analysis of all the pitfalls you might encounter on your journey from the eighth to the ninth rank. Especially for those exceptionally talented individuals with abundant resources who inexplicably get stuck, this post will reveal the cruel truth behind the rules of the Great Dao.
"100,000 points..."
In the past, Lin Hanzhou would have felt the pinch.
But now, with billions in assets, he sees these 100,000 points as nothing more than a penny.
"Bought it!"
Lin Hanzhou clicked to buy without hesitation.
[Ding! Transaction successful! Intelligence content has been unlocked and is being transferred to your consciousness...]
The next second, a massive flow of information flooded into my mind.
Lin Hanzhou quickly skipped over the basic information about "unstable mindset" and "insufficient resources" and went straight to the chapter on "Analysis of Abnormal Failure Cases".
[Common reason for failure 1:]
If your understanding of the Great Dao is insufficient, you will naturally be unable to refine the corresponding Dao traces, and failure is common in the process of refining them.
(Solution: Either use treasures like Enlightenment Tea to enhance comprehension, or directly use items containing the laws of the Great Dao to comprehend them. Using both methods simultaneously is best.)
Lin Hanzhou shook his head at this.
With the added advantage of being a martial arts prodigy, his comprehension isn't too bad.
An item containing the laws of the Great Dao has the illusory image of the River of Time within its body; it is a concrete manifestation of the supreme laws.
In this situation, the possibility that the other party mentioned is completely impossible.
He continued reading.
[Common reason for failure, part two:]
The supreme laws of time and space place extremely high demands on the soul's capacity to bear them.
If the soul does not meet the standard, forcibly recording it will cause the soul to collapse, and the body will instinctively reject the formation of the Dao trace as a self-protection mechanism.
Lin Hanzhou shook his head again.
His spiritual strength far surpasses that of others of the same level, but that's not a problem.
Until he saw the third point, which was also the most important point of this post.
[Special Reason for Failure Three: Rejection Between Racial Bloodline and the Rules of the Great Dao]
"This is a fatal problem that many geniuses tend to overlook."
"Refining the Dao traces is essentially a prayer for the Great Dao of the Heavens to stamp your soul, acknowledging that you are a part of it. This requires your life essence to be pure enough and in harmony with the Great Dao."
"However! Some races are born to be rejected and abhorred by the Great Dao. Or perhaps their life forms themselves represent 'chaos' and 'destruction,' and are incompatible with the Great Dao's laws that represent 'order.'"
Typical examples: Demon race (especially Abyssal Demons and True Demons), Cthulhu-themed evil god's kin, Void Insectoids, etc.
"These races contain violent, chaotic elements in their bloodline. When you try to inscribe the Dao of 'order' on such bloodline and soul, it's like carving words on molten lava—it melts as soon as you try to carve it."
"The reason why the demon race is powerful is that it follows the path of 'evolution of the demon body, devouring all things, and evolution of bloodline,' rather than the human race's 'comprehension of laws and inscription of Dao traces.'"
"If you possess a high concentration of the bloodline of the aforementioned races, yet wish to follow the cultivation path of the human race, then congratulations, you will have no other outcome but to explode and die."
Upon seeing this, it was as if a lightning bolt had flashed through Lin Hanzhou's mind, instantly illuminating all the fog.
"So that's how it is..."
He stared blankly at the words on the screen, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
"How could I have forgotten about that!"
"True Demon Bloodline!"
He obtained the true demon bloodline in his dream and perfectly integrated it into his body through the [Primordial Unity].
Although in normal combat, this bloodline gives him a terrifying physique and recovery ability, and he can even withstand ninth-level attacks.
However, when it comes to delicate tasks like "polishing the Dao traces," this domineering True Demon bloodline becomes the biggest troublemaker!
He was trying to use the body of a demon to cultivate the path of immortality.
No wonder it always collapses at the last moment!
"This is... both its strength and its weakness are due to its bloodline."
Lin Hanzhou was both amused and exasperated.
The post also thoughtfully included a sentence at the end:
"If you unfortunately possess this bloodline and insist on pursuing the path of cultivation, the only way is to eliminate the bloodline."
