Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1015

Chapter 1015 - Mammoth Bloodline

After disembarking from the ship, Yuan followed Huang Xiao Li and her family onto the land.

'Giant's Continent… It's not in Tian Chengyu's memories. Did this place exist before his birth or after his death?' He wondered as he followed them.

Sometime later, he asked out of curiosity, "Where are we going now?"

"We're going to the Southern Stronghold. It's where most travelers like us go to exchange treasures with giants, so it's quite popular." Huang Xiao Li said.

"I don't know much about giants. Can you tell me about them?"

"Sure!" She nodded with enthusiasm, and she continued, "Giants are humans with the Mammoth Bloodline. Their ancestors were ordinary humans that have trained a unique technique called the Great Mammoth Body Refinement that gave them immense strength and a near indestructible body, but it also increased their body size temporarily."

"Their ancestors not only reached the peak with this technique, they had even altered it so that the technique would continuously affect their bodies and never deactivate, making them giants permanently. However, because such a feat required them to alter their genes and blood, their descendants would also be born with such blood and genes in their body, making them giants at birth."

Yuan was speechless after hearing this information.The speed was too fast, and with a swoosh, Wang Xuan was pulled into the whirlpool, like a little crucian carp that had been hooked and was violedntly pulled out of the water.

Giants used to be humans before they altered their blood and genes with a technique? He didn't know techniques were even capable of such a feat, which was akin to creating their own bloodline and race!

Huang Xiao Li continued to speak, "The giants created their own family, and after cultivating that family for thousands of years, they moved to an uninhabited land that would soon to be known as the Giant's Continent."

"Giants nowadays are mostly isolated within the Giant's Continent, so you won't see them outside. In fact, most people live their entire life without meeting one. They're practically phoenixes and dragons."

"However, since they rarely leave the continent, they mostly rely on travelers like us to provide them with resources and treasures from the outside. It benefits us as well because there are resources and treasures that can only be found within the Giant's Continent."

"That's pretty neat, I guess." Yuan mumbled.

"Indeed. If you have any treasures you don't need, you can try to exchange or sell them to the giants."

A bittersweet smile appeared on his face after hearing her words. Even if he had plenty of treasures that he could and wanted to trade, he wouldn't actually acquire anything because he was inside the Stairway to Heaven and nothing there was real.If your dare to fish against him like this, no matter if it's a strange thing on a mobile phone or that ferocious giant fish, you'll have to pay the price.

'Although I can learn techniques in the Stairway to Heaven, that is only possible because they only need to be memorized. However, treasures don't work that way. It's impossible for me to acquire real treasures during trials. How unfortunate.' He sighed inwardly, thinking how nice it would be if he could actually acquire something from the trial.

Suddenly, the head of the bodyguards, Dong Zhou, shouted, "We have company!"

Yuan panicked a little when he heard Dong Zhou's voice because he didn't sense anything with his divine sense that he's kept active this whole time.

However, sure enough, something appeared before them a few seconds later, and it was a massive bird that was so big that it could easily lift an entire building with one of its claws.

Seeing this massive bird that came out of thin air, Yuan prepared to attack it, but then he realized its cultivation base was in the Spirit Emperor realm.

'Spirit Emperor magical beast! This is my first time fighting an opponent of this level!' He cried inwardly.

"Yuan! It's coming!" Huang Xiao Li shouted.A fisih is mocking him!

Yuan immediately snapped out of his daze and confronted this massive bird in the sky right as it tried to dive down.

"Ha!"

He enveloped the Empyrean Overlord with Sword Qi before sending it in the magical beast's way.

"Kaaaw!" The bird released a painful scream when it lost one of its claws to Yuan, who was surprised because he'd expected to kill the bird with that strike.

ᴘᴀɴ ᴅᴀ ɴ ᴏᴠᴇʟ However, before he could get another strike on the bird, it turned around and flew away, leaving him speechless.

"It ran away…?" He muttered in a dumbfounded voice.

"Are you okay, Yuan?!" Huang Xiao Li approached him afterward.Then, it was noisys and motionless, instead of reviving here, it chose to disguise it.

"Yes, I am fine. But that magical beast was stronger than I anticipated."

After all, under normal circumstances, his attack just now would've killed even a Spirit Emperor with ease.

"I forgot to mention this, but giants are not the only entity on this continent with the Mammoth Bloodline. The magical beasts on this continent also have it," she said to him.

"What? How is that even possible? I thought the giants' ancestors only managed to achieve such a feat through a technique! There's no way ordinary magical beasts could possibly comprehend techniques, much less master them!"

"You're right, but the magical beasts did not acquire the Mammoth Bloodline through techniques. They acquired it through consuming the giants. I mentioned that the technique is never-ending, right? This is still true even when the giants die, so when a magical beast consumes their flesh and blood, they also acquire the power of giants."

"Heavens…" Yuan was speechless by this information.
