Protect Our Clan Leader

The reason lies in Prince Shaman’s [Heritage Crystal Core].

When that Heritage Crystal Core condensed and formed, everyone was taken aback.

Its level was unexpectedly higher than the Heritage Crystal Core scavenged from the corpse of the Green-skinned Sacred Supreme!

You know, when the Green-skinned Sacred Supreme died, the Heritage Crystal Core formed was a standard Level Fifteen [Heritage Crystal Core], yet Prince Shaman’s was actually a Level Sixteen [Heritage Crystal Core]!

Such a level of Heritage Crystal Core is extremely rare even in the Atana Tribe, where strong people abound.

However, upon careful consideration, it is not entirely incomprehensible.

After all, a Level Sixteen Heritage Crystal Core is equivalent to an advanced Sacred Image for the human race. As a prince, Shaman has hopes of contending for the position of Atana God Emperor in the future, inheriting a Level Sixteen Heritage Crystal Core equivalent to an advanced Sacred Image is quite reasonable.

This Crystal Core will grant Prince Shaman the potential to ascend to Level Sixteen; if he does not become the Divine Emperor, his future potential ceiling would be Level Sixteen.

Still, though surprising, this matter is indeed good news for the Wang family.

With this Level Sixteen Heritage Crystal Core, combined with the Level Fifteen Heritage Crystal Core from the Green-skinned Sacred Supreme, it is as if the Wang family possesses two Sacred Images.

The inheritance method of this [Heritage Crystal Core] is somewhat similar to the True Demon Core of the Demonic Clan. The Crystal Ancient Tribe indeed created it by referencing the Demonic Clan’s inheritance, but they also referenced some inheritance methods of the Immortal Clan such as the Codex Immortal Scripture.

The inheritance ways of Heritage Crystal Core can roughly be divided into four kinds.

Firstly, during the end of lifespan and inheritance period, Atana tribe members separate a large amount of essence blood energy into the Heritage Crystal Core, leaving it for the next generation inheritor. In this case, once the Heritage Crystal Core is fully condensed, the original body’s combat strength will significantly weaken and rapidly enter a senile period.

Secondly, when lifespan is still ample, one can actively strip a standard amount of one’s own essence blood energy into the Heritage Crystal Core and then remove it from the body to pass on the Heritage Crystal Core to others.

Doing so will greatly weaken oneself as well, but the benefit is that as long as one timely receives a Heritage Crystal Core of equal or higher level, the impact on the body will be reduced to a manageable range.

Currently, Prince Shaman and the captured individuals have used this method to gather the Heritage Crystal Core.

Thirdly, upon death, when the divine soul consciousness collapses, the Heritage Crystal Core automatically absorbs essence blood energy.

This is a function way back from the existence of Heritage Crystal Core, designed to recover the Heritage Crystal Core to prevent its loss due to inheritance break when someone dies unexpectedly or in emergencies.

Because of this method of collecting Heritage Crystal Core, Prince Shaman and others are willing to voluntarily gather the Heritage Crystal Core, knowing that even if they refuse, they could be killed to obtain the Heritage Crystal Core.

Fourthly, a high-level expert can spend vast amounts of essence blood and time nurturing a lower-level Heritage Crystal Core.

For example, a Level Fifteen Sacred Supreme, using a lifetime generally nurtures an extra Level Thirteen Heritage Crystal Core. A Level Thirteen expert can nurture an Level Eleven Heritage Crystal Core.

This somewhat resembles the way Immortal Scriptures separate into Codices, and Codices into Divine Skills.

Besides that.

For Atana tribe members possessing Heritage Crystal Cores, once they reach the level limit of the crystal core, they can slowly polish the Heritage Crystal Core over time to make it grow. Particularly talented ones might break through to the next level, like advancing from Level Thirteen to Level Fourteen.

Many Level Twelve, Level Fourteen, Level Sixteen Heritage Crystal Cores initially come about this way.

However, most of the time, the upgrading of Heritage Crystal Cores is completed through accumulation over several generations, or even a dozen generations.

Strictly speaking, despite differences with Codex Immortal Scriptures and similar things, this inheritance method of Heritage Crystal Core is hugely different. It’s tailor-made by the Crystal Ancient Tribe for the Atana Tribe, often entailing numerous hidden problems upon actual cultivation.

But, they can help family members of the Wang family practicing the Mysterious Origin Art lineage find a path leading Mysterious Origin Art to the Great Luo Realm, ultimately becoming capable of combining insights with the Heritage Crystal Core to condense a true Mysterious Primordial Saint Chart.

This method is somewhat akin to how Demonic Cultivators in the Red Moon Demon Dynasty utilize the True Demon Core of the Demonic Clan to comprehend the True Demon Dao.

This is more difficult than direct inheritance of True Demon Sutra yet simpler than creating a Dao out of thin air.

Comparatively, comprehending this Atana Heritage Crystal Core is easier than the True Demon Core. Its attributes are balanced and stable, having the lowest requirements on aptitude and insight, making it relatively more suitable for human race than the eccentric, eerie, and dark True Demon Core.

Hence, a single Heritage Crystal Core basically equivalents to an Immortal Scripture, a Codex, or a Divine Power Inheritance Stone. Unlike True Demon Sutra, where achieving it with a single True Demon Core is highly unlikely, typically needing insight into two True Demon Cores before possibly realizing one.

Of course, special bloodline individuals such as Wang Shouzhe certainly won’t take the ordinary Mysterious Origin Path.

Therefore, all collected Heritage Crystal Cores are sent back to the family, letting members with relatively standard bloodline attributes walk the Mysterious Origin Path, enhancing family expertise while enriching the future Codex, Immortal Scriptures, and even Sacred Images of the Mysterious Origin Path.
