Chapter 1052 - Bloodline Replacement
Chapter 1052 Bloodline Replacement
It was three days later when Greem finally returned to Fire Throne.
Just as Chairman Freed had said, it wasn’t advisable for him to move around while he carried 500 Siths of origin substance on his person.
They were many Third Grade adepts in Zhentarim who had remained stuck at Third Grade for hundreds of years. There were plenty of people who were willing to walk on the razor’s edge if they knew that Greem carried origin substance in his hands– the origin substance that could change their fate.
Greem might be under the care of the Zhentarim Association, but that would not stop these adepts who had nearly gone mad from being unable to advance. Even the Crimson Clan became extremely cautious during this time. The core members of the clan made sure to stay within the clan headquarters as much as possible, never leaving the tower unless there was something urgent.
That was to prevent any crazed adepts from abducting and threatening their clan leader!
Greem was also under pressure to consume these origin substances as soon as possible. He had to advance to Fourth Grade to cut off all the wicked thoughts of those greedy adepts, or the Crimson Clan would never find a day of peace.
Thus, Greem shut himself in his room at the top floor upon returning to Fire Throne, cutting off all connection with the outside world.
A waterfall of information surged into Greem’s mind. He closed his eyes and started to rapidly make sense of this information that had already been organized by the Chip. Finally, he came to several conclusions.
There were three general methods of using origin substances.
The first was to swallow the origin substance and pray that you could decipher some information on the laws that could be of use to yourself.
It was the method that most adepts would choose!
The second was to seal the origin substance within your body with magic. You would then go into deep meditation and slowly assimilate the origin substance with your organs. In doing so, you could strengthen an organ and create a unique one that was completely compatible with your origin attribute.
The third method was similar to the second. However, instead of assimilating the origin substance with your organ, you would absorb it with powerful magical equipment of your choice. This method would not only allow the magical equipment to become compatible with your soul origin, but would also enable the equipment to gain strange principle traits.
Greem suspected that Scarface Gallow’s magical sword had gained its strange characteristics through such a method.
However, in order to do these, Greem had to modify his bloodline talent first. It wasn’t until he had a powerful bloodline that he could maximize the effects of the principle powers bestowed by the origin substances.
Having understood this, Greem put away the five origin substance crystals without any hesitation. Instead, he took out a deep blue crystal and plunged it into his chest.
The blue crystal was about the size of his palm. It was shaped like a rhombus diamond, and a viscous liquid was contained within it. The liquid glowed with an intense energy radiance.
A slight cracking sound could be heard as webs of cracks appeared on the surface of the crystal. Not a trace of blood dripped from Greem’s wound. Instead, the muscles around the injury squirmed and started contracting. New tendrils of flesh began growing around the crystal until they had fully enveloped it.
These tendrils of flesh squirmed like tiny serpents, extending into the cracks in the crystals. Countless small flesh shoots continued to grow inside the crystal, slowly creeping towards that drop of liquid at its heart.
When the flesh came into contact with the fluid, Greem’s body jerked forward. He fell to the ground uncontrollably and started howling in agony.
Apart from Greem’s animalistic howls and screams, only a bone-chilling sucking sound could be heard within the room!
Everyone was born with their bloodline. The bloodline was woven into the body, Spirit, and even the soul. It could be said to be the most fundamental aspect of humans, making it very hard to change or modify.
However, after several hundreds of thousands of times researching and exploring, the insane adepts had finally managed to come up with several techniques and methods of changing and replacing one’s origin bloodline. It became one method by which the adepts could strengthen themselves and expand their future possibilities.
That said, regardless of how much they improved on these techniques, bloodline replacement would always remain as an option reserved for a minority of adepts.
After all, the terrifying backlash and intense pain of bloodline replacement was not something that an ordinary adept could ever endure!
