On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chapter 314: Baihu(1)

Many of them had extraordinary abilities, like plucking stars from the sky and controlling the movement of the sun across the horizon.

Baihu would sit attentively at her mother's feet, eyes wide and captivated by the tales.

"My Little Tiger, one day you will inherit the power of our bloodline," her mother would say, stroking Baihu's hair lovingly.

"You will be the last of our lineage and carry on the legacy of our people." Her mother often spoke of the great responsibility that would one day fall on Baihu's shoulders.

Even with her last breath, her mother whispered words of caution, reminding Baihu to never let their race become extinct.

"My Little Tiger, I married your father even though he was not of the same race, not out of love but out of duty to preserve our bloodline. You must remember that our people's hopes and dreams rest on your shoulders now. Protect them, my child, for you are the last hope for our kind."

Baihu listened intently, tears streaming down her face as she promised her mother she would fulfill her duty.

That's why, when Baihu reached the age of 200, she decided to get married and have children to continue her mother's legacy.

But she didn't want to marry just anyone. She wanted to find a partner who would not only help her preserve her people's bloodline, but also someone she could truly love and cherish.

She didn't find it hard to find suitors, as many were drawn to her beauty, strength, and bloodline.

Marrying into another race wouldn't diminish her bloodline, since there was a way to ensure that her children would carry on her bloodline purity.

Given the power of her bloodline, it was effortless for her to absorb the weaker bloodline of the other race.

After years of searching, Baihu never found someone she could truly connect with on a deep level. Despite the abundance of suitors, none of them were able to capture her heart like she had hoped.

All of them were weak, lazy, and lacked the fierce determination that Baihu wanted. Perhaps because in this life, there was no point in pursuing strength, no ambition, nothing, which made Baihu unable to see anything in them.

She longed for a partner who shared her ambition. She had always wanted to return to the times her mother had spoken of in her stories.

Not to mention, she wanted her children to have a pure bloodline. Her mother once said that a human bloodline was the best option for a race like theirs, since humans possessed a unique trait of adaptability.

Unfortunately, such an option was out of reach for Baihu, considering that humans had a much shorter lifespan of only 100 years. The restricted lifespan of humans posed a challenge for her to consider settling down with a human partner.

She didn't want a partner who would die before her, leaving her alone and heartbroken. Not to mention, humans were weak and couldn't cultivate their spiritual energy like other races on this earth.

For some reason, only beasts could cultivate since, with their bloodlines and innate abilities, they were able to harness the spiritual Qi of this world in a way that humans simply could not anymore.

Of course, by cultivating, it takes too long for a beast to reach a certain level. Even with Baihu's pure bloodline, it took her 12,000 years to reach the 4th stage of the nascent soul.

It would take her another 1,000 years to advance to the 5th stage. The more her level increased, the harder it was for her to advance.

Furthermore, some normal beasts with average bloodlines remain in the Foundation Establishment stage even after 500 years, and a few of them face lifespan depletion despite their long lives.

Her only option to even consider a human was to find a human cultivator…

But how could she find one? They had been extinct from the earth even when her mother was still alive.

Her mother, when she died, was already over 30,000 years old. Regarding the timeline of the stories her mother shared, she remained unaware of when they actually took place, as no one in this world had an answer to that question.

Baihu gazed at Chen Tian with a hopeful look in her eyes. Her body trembled with excitement at the thought of finally finding someone who could become her lifelong partner.

This excitement was even more intense than when she became a nascent soul. The atmosphere in the area suddenly changed, as her aura began to glow with vibrant energy.

The man behind Baihu was also taken aback by this unexpected turn of events. He had heard the tales of cultivators and their power, but witnessing one firsthand was something entirely different.

"H-How can a human cultivate!! Impossible, the seals are still there!!" The man behind Baihu was mesmerized as he witnessed Chen Tian.

They had attempted countless times to help humans cultivate again, but all had failed. It seemed that this world didn't want to accept the presence of a cultivator. Humans couldn't absorb the Qi in the air to cultivate.

After several attempts and experiments, they had finally found the reason behind the failure.

The seals were placed on humans and this world by the gods themselves.

These seals were created in the ancient era, long before they existed.

Initially, they contemplated breaking these seals with the expectation of restoring the earth to its legendary era, but instead, they gained an understanding that it was just impossible.

These seals were placed and protected in locations where no other race could enter, even in this weak world where a nascent soul was a godlike existence. They couldn't enter these places, so their only option was the humans, which worked.

Sadly, these places weren't friendly to humans either. The moment someone entered these places, no modern weapon would work, so humans couldn't use their advanced technology, and they would have to rely on their bodies and minds to survive.

After countless failures, they realized that there was no way to break these seals.

With how many human lives had been lost in the attempt, it became clear that these seals were not meant to be broken.

The only option left was to just live the lifespan they had left and accept that some things are beyond their control.

However, today, the man who had dedicated years to studying these seals witnessed someone who should no longer exist in this world.

A damn cultivator!
