Clan Cultivation System: Each Breakthrough in My Clan Earns Me Rewards-Chapter 44: Plasma Qi? (Unlock - with Coins!)

Shen Liqian didn’t hide anything from them.

"I’m almost sure our clan’s cultivation methods are meant to help us understand beasts, tame them, and fight alongside them."

Their techniques were named after beasts and carried bestial traits.

As Shen Liqian comprehended more, he began to see a pattern in the cultivation manuals and the purpose behind them.

There was also a missing piece.

It meant those manuals, and the techniques derived from them, were designed to help the Shen Clan develop its own Beast Intent.

The issue was that, after so long under oppression, the Shen Clan couldn’t see themselves as beasts.

They hated beasts.

"Once we understand beasts and they understand us, we will form mutual understanding and support.

"Beasts will see benefits in us, and we will see benefits in them.

"We will make them a part of our lineage and hierarchy.

"We will develop our identity alongside them.

"This will give us more opportunities to see the world, even while we are confined between the eight mountains."

A quiet resolve settled over the hunters.

After all, it wasn’t simply beasts versus humans.

Beasts fought one another.

Shen Liqian had heard from his father and other hunters that the strongest beasts lived in caves and ignored the seasons.

There was so much to explore that he looked forward to seeing the fruits of his comprehension and whether he was right.

Liqian.

Zhiyin’s voice resounded in Shen Liqian’s mind.

Relief loosened his shoulders at the familiar presence.

It was good timing, since he was sure his people needed time to absorb his words and intent.

He looked up.

Zhiyin took that as a cue to continue speaking.

Various bloodlines will emerge from the Clan Cultivation System.

That said, I was known as the Crimson Star Empress in my past life.

Crimson Star, in simple terms, meant Blood Star.

I know many ways to create bloodlines.

The title Crimson Star Empress sent a cool ripple down his spine.

Shen Liqian didn’t expect to hear about her origins right now.

While those impressed him, he wondered how different "creating bloodlines" was from alchemy itself.

Zhiyin had said that alchemy wasn’t for her, yet she could create bloodlines?

Unaware of Shen Liqian’s thoughts, Zhiyin continued.

Bloodlines require Body Cultivation first and foremost.

Otherwise, cultivators will turn into beasts and lose their sanity to wild instincts.

Your vassals are fine... but if you want to cultivate your clan into beast tamers who are themselves beastlike and fight alongside their beasts, you’ll need to comprehend much more and create your own body cultivation method.

Remember, I am here to help you at any step.

Responsibility pressed behind his ribs, heavy but welcome.

Shen Liqian nodded.

His heart warmed at having so much support from her.

Zhiyin knew of ancient lineages such as the Golden Crow and the Nether Dragon, but for his clan to control the mountains and develop its own identity, they needed to comprehend their origins themselves and grow with his guidance.

Shen Liqian said, "Do not feel pressured to develop your Beast Intent on this journey.

"Comprehend this dao at your pace."

Everyone nodded.

Because the team had hunted a lot and it was getting late, Shen Taofeng said that was all for today.

The team set up a simple camp and watch rotation.

"Dark Snow Moths are particularly dangerous at night," Shen Taofeng said.

The name alone raised the hairs at the back of his neck.

As usual, Shen Liqian enjoyed learning more about the world and nodded attentively.

The two of them discussed the night’s dangers while the others worked on the camp.

———

Shen Liqian, Shen Jixian, and Shen Yiren had a small meeting.

The others cultivated wrapped in thick, warm furs.

No one needed much sleep on these hunts because cultivation replaced it.

Cultivating was better than actually sleeping, since it refreshed the mind and restored Qi far more.

Of course, there were benefits to sleep for mortals like Shen Taofeng and the others.

But on the hunt, that wasn’t allowed.

"It was inspirational.

"I think we need to develop our own Beast Intent.

"The Golden Crow’s cultivation path seems to be related to suns.

"So I need to think about what that beast needs suns for?

"Uh, Sun is like a ball of flames, right?"

Shen Jixian asked as he pondered aloud.

Shen Liqian chuckled.

"The Sun is a star of plasma..."

He trailed off, awkwardly.

Heat crept into his ears.

Shen Jixian stared at him, dumbfounded.

Star?

Plasma?

Confusion rose in Shen Jixian’s heart.

"And here I thought the Golden Crow turned suns into its nests or something like that..." he muttered, then repeated in a whisper, "But plasma?"

Shen Liqian applauded his friend.

"That’s actually a solid idea, you know?

"Becoming a Golden Crow and turning suns into your nests might be your unique cultivation path.

"It’s not like you have to follow the exact path of other Golden Crows.

"You can make your nest into a palace or anything like that.

"And Plasma Qi or Plasma Intent can be your final path!"

Shen Jixian nodded.

"Okay, but what in the world is plasma?"

Shen Liqian did his best to explain it.

"Look at it this way: flames produce heat and light, and those condense into plasma, which is like a bright beam of heat.

"When you shoot your arrows, they leave a blazing trail.

"Think of plasma like a sun ray, okay?"

He did his best, really.

Shen Jixian folded his arms and pondered aloud.

"Plasma Arrows... sound freaking cool and powerful."

Shen Liqian then felt a nudge on his side.

Shen Yiren stared at him with a hopeful expression.

He usually had his hawk-like stare that made him seem like a beast himself, but now he eagerly wanted to hear what Shen Liqian thought of his cultivation path.

In fact, it was Shen Liqian who had explained gravity to him.

Now that he had expanded on Shen Jixian’s Golden Crow Nine Suns Cultivation Path, Shen Yiren needed inspiration for his Endless Nether Dragon Cultivation Path.

Shen Liqian once again did his best.

"Black Holes exist in the universe, or rather, in the space that holds our worlds and realms.

"It’s a dangerous phenomenon in space with its own rules and domain.

"It controls gravity, then commands inertia, and maybe bends space?

"All of those concepts combined create the ultimate enemy in space—a Black Hole."

Shen Yiren stood dumbfounded, even though his shocked expression was... expressionless.

Even his hawk-still gaze flickered.

Inertia?

Space?

What?

Shen Liqian swallowed hard.

Education is needed.
