After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

"Hehe, incarnation!"

Chen Futu had a sudden thought and used a teleportation technique to instantly switch places with the avatar who was guarding the imperial city.

The avatar, adorned in a crown, arrived in the hall and, without a word, scanned all the inscriptions with his gaze, finally fixing his intense eyes on the golden Heart Sutra at the very center.

Upon returning to the imperial city, Chen Futu quietly gained some new insights. This was a sutra that his avatar comprehended in real time and in sync with the divine, called "The Human Emperor's Way Chapter," but unfortunately, it was only a fragment.

[A bug has been detected in the host system; the system does not recognize this type of comprehension effect!]

"Damn it, you didn't get angry when I comprehended the Three Calamities of Karmic Fire and the Northern Darkness Divine Art last time. My comprehension is not good, but my avatar is much stronger than me. He is just a tool."

[System Rejection!]

"Stop eyeing those ridiculously expensive cultivation techniques in your shop. I'll buy them when I have enough points, okay?"

[System Rejection!]

"I'll name a number, ten thousand points, and that'll be the end of it."

[One million points can be reserved to enhance the ability to comprehend]

"One hundred thousand, that's the most I can ask for."

Chen Futu negotiated with the system and finally kept the ability to comprehend the avatar for 200,000 taels of silver.

The system is just jealous of the host getting a good deal. It's shameless in its pursuit of selling cultivation techniques, since the techniques it sells can be directly instilled without the need for comprehension. Unfortunately, the price is too high, which shows a bit of the ugly face of a capitalist.

Moreover, Chen Futu discovered that the system was becoming more and more intelligent. When it first came out and was only at level one, it would not bargain with the host, let alone curse. Could it be that the system is hiding some secret?

For a good half hour, the incarnation was engraved with the fragments of the Human Emperor's Dao Chapter, and then Chen Futu and he switched back.

After returning to the imperial city, Chen Futu deeply comprehended the Dao of the Human Emperor, while Chen Futu simply drank tea, lay back, and waited for the results—he was having a blast.

This is the advantage of having a "tool" (someone who provides tools); you can benefit from it all.

Chen Futu sipped his tea, looking around at the White Night Clan members. Most of them were strange creatures lying on the ground, while a few young people who came to greet him were standing.

Taking advantage of the time, Chen Futu asked a young man from the Baiye tribe why someone was lying on the ground.

The young man smiled wryly and remained silent, as if afraid of breaking a taboo.

It's estimated that this involves top secrets, and given his lowly status, he dares not speak carelessly. He can only wait for that old guy to return before discussing it further.

The old man has been gone for a long time and hasn't returned. Instead, several waves of battle energy have been transmitted back, indicating that he is fighting with several major forces. It's just unknown whether he will personally participate. If he does, with his Great Sage cultivation, even if his blood energy is extremely depleted, he is not someone that can be fooled by those at the Cloud-Supporting Realm. It is estimated that all the major forces will die here.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and the old man finally returned.

He was not surprised to see the generals comprehending the martial arts techniques on the stone wall, but instead summoned Chen Futu to a secret room for a private talk.

Chen Futu asked, "How did the old gentleman treat other invaders?"

"No killing, just a small punishment as a warning."

"Are you wary of the powerful backing they have?"

"Yes, Mount Sumeru is guarded by an ancient Buddha, which is powerful and has a very deep foundation. The other members are also quite strong. If our clan cannot see the light of day again, we will make enemies with the outside world."

The old man's voice seemed to suggest that he wanted the White Night Clan to be born, but he also had some unspeakable secrets.

Chen Futu saw through it but didn't say it, waiting for him to say it himself.

The old man's name was Bai Wuyai, and he was the most senior member of the entire Baiye clan.

"The Holy Emperor has come here, surely to obtain a fortune?" Bai Wuyai asked, getting straight to the point.

Chen Futu did not hide anything, "I am somewhat interested in the lineage of the Baiye clan."

"The inheritance of the Baiye clan is related to bloodline. The bloodline of the Holy Emperor is extremely noble and has the might of a dragon. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for our clan's secret techniques. The Human Emperor's Dao Chapter is more suitable for Your Majesty. I believe you have already seen it."

"The Human Emperor's Dao Chapter is only a fragment. Where are the rest? And where did you collect so many Saint-level cultivation techniques from?"

Chen Futu asked the question that had been bothering him.

Bai Wuyai said bitterly, "The Holy Emperor should know something about our clan's past. Back then, the Primordial Ancestor was famous throughout the continent for his skill in finding earth veins. Many powerful figures sought his help. Some of these powerful figures followed the Primordial Ancestor in his search for earth veins and encountered danger. After their deaths, their cultivation techniques were obtained by the Primordial Ancestor. These are all collected by the Primordial Ancestor."

"Good guy..."

Chen Futu never expected that these sacred cultivation techniques were obtained by looting his teammates' loot, and even then, he had to loot them with tears in his eyes.

"Later, my clan was cursed and went into hiding to avoid disaster. We lived underground for many years and eventually became this inhuman and ghostly appearance."

"Tell me in detail what the curse is; perhaps I have a way to resolve it."

"The elders say it's a curse of the earth veins, because our clan has always been searching for earth veins to find treasures born of nature, which angered the heavens. So our descendants can only sleep underground for eternity, and will never see the light of day until their bloodline is exhausted."

Bai Wuyai shook his head and sighed repeatedly as he spoke.

Chen Futu understood. It was like a tomb raider whose ancestors had gone underground to steal tombs. As punishment, their clan was condemned to live underground for generations, and whenever they went out, they would be scorched by the sun and cursed to never see the light of day.

This curse looks more like a disease.

I remember there's a disease called photophobia, which is a condition caused by fear of sunlight, but that's an eye disease. The White Night Clan seems to have a hereditary mental illness, otherwise they wouldn't have become an oddity.

Ding!

The system has provided a selection option.

[Detected that Bai Wuyai, the ancestor of the Baiye clan, is seeking help from the host. Please make a choice.]

"Reward bias, random."

[1. Choosing to help the Baiye Clan emerge from the underground will reward you with a modified version of the Baiye Clan's inherited secret technique, "Dragon Emperor Reincarnation Technique," of Emperor rank.]

"I am now a Martial Saint, and I have a basic grasp of the operation of the laws. I can now exert some of the power of Emperor-level techniques."

[2. If you choose to ignore it, you will be rewarded with 50,000 high-explosive grenades.]

[3. Choose to ignore it and plunder the White Night Clan, rewarding you with the title "I'm Not Human Anymore"]

Wearing this title will trigger a massive hatred effect, attracting numerous factions to fight and kill, making it suitable for proving one's path through killing.

"Thank you so much! I, the mighty Great Sage Emperor, would never do something so shameless."

The Baiye clan had already suffered enough; it was shameless to plunder them before leaving. Besides, Chen Futu wanted to win over the Baiye clan to serve the Great Xia. Wouldn't it be better to get a Martial Saint for free?

“System, I choose option one, but how do I help them get out of the underground? According to Bai Wuyai, they will be scorched by the sun if they go out, and they won’t be able to get out.”

The Dragon Emperor's bloodline is a divine bloodline. The Dragon Emperor's essence blood can ward off all evil spirits. As long as the host contributes his essence blood, this curse can be broken.

"How much do you need?"

Three catties

"Are you sure you're not kidding me? You're going to extract blood by the pound? And you're going to extract three pounds of it?!"

The largest blood donation was 400cc. The martial arts saint's blood energy was extremely abundant. A single drop could produce an extremely exaggerated visual effect. But who could withstand being drawn by the pound? In fact, the martial arts saint was just stronger in cultivation, and his blood content was just higher than that of an ordinary person.

This choice needs to be carefully considered; a wrong move could damage the foundation, and that's no joke.
