Chapter 120 The Ancient Emperor's Bloodline Begins to Awaken

Awakening the powerful bloodline of the ancient emperor requires great care, and Zhou Zheng listened to the precautions for a full two hours.

Looking at Liu Zhen's endless chatter, Zhou Zheng was a little bewildered: "How much longer are you going to talk?"

Liu Zhen: "That's all. It's been about a week."

Zhou Zheng: "Fine, find me a good place where no one will bother me, I'll awaken on my own, okay?"

Liu was shocked: "This is the bloodline of an ancient emperor! What are you trying to do if you're not careful? Trying to fly to the heavens?"

Zhou Zheng: "Brother Liu, you know nothing about geniuses."

Liu Zhen complained: "I'm your protector, so I won't complain if you call me Brother Liu. But if I were in office, do you know what you should call me?"

You should call me Thunder God Liu Zhen!

I, a dignified god, am going to explain everything to you one by one, and you still complain about how annoying it is.

Zhou Zheng: "Am I a genius?"

Liu Zhen nodded: "Yes."

Zhou Zheng: "Do you understand my talent?"

Liu Zhen: "I know a little."

Zhou Zheng: "I'm telling you, now I need you to find me a quiet place so I can wake up on my own. Do you understand?"

Liu Zhen leaned back tactically: "Alright, I'll believe you this time, after all, what you said makes sense."

Exceptional geniuses often defy common sense. After all, this little rascal in front of us is a tough guy who dared to look directly at the sacred object of the sun twice, and was even able to extract information from it and report it to the Celestial Venerable.

Those five useless Nascent Soul cultivators didn't produce a single thing.

Of course, I didn't perceive anything myself.

After everyone had gotten up, eaten and drunk their fill, Zhou Zheng announced the matter in public, and then Tang Ying drove to the outskirts of the city.

For a super genius who can cause celestial phenomena with a thunderclap at the peak of Qi Refining, the scene of awakening the ancient emperor's bloodline would definitely be exaggerated, so as not to affect ordinary people.

After driving for an hour, we arrived in the middle of nowhere. Outside the city in the far northwest, there were hardly any plants or animals to be seen, only endless wilderness, sparsely populated.

Liu Zhen set up multiple formations on the ground, opened an altar to pray to the Heavenly Venerable and the Heavenly Dao, begging for blessings upon Zhou Zheng to increase the chances and quality of awakening the ancient emperor's bloodline. Even if the awakening failed, as long as the soul didn't perish, it didn't matter; the body could die as it pleased, since his little brother had plenty of experience with death anyway.

After completing all the preparations, Zhou Zheng was deeply moved and thanked Brother Liu. Then he sat on the prayer mat on the altar and began to try to awaken the bloodline of the ancient emperor.

Ten minutes later.

Seeing the completely still scene, Liu Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Have you found the rhythm yet?"

Zhou Zheng: "Quiet, we're looking for her."

Half an hour later.

Liu Zhen: "Is it that hard to find?"

Zhou Zheng: "Shut up."

One hour later.

Liu Zhen had already taken out a parasol and some fruit, melon seeds, and drinks, and led everyone to watch, spitting the melon rinds on the ground: "How long do you think it will take him to get the hang of it?"

Xuan Yizi: "I don't know, it should be soon, right? Is awakening one's bloodline that difficult?"

Xiaoxue: "It's very difficult. I just checked the information. The more powerful the bloodline awakening, the more difficult it is."

Tang Ying: "Master Zhou is also getting better. A descendant of an ancient empress, that title sounds quite exaggerated."

Liu Zhen: "The cultivation of immortality by someone with noble royal blood is simply invincible. He was already a super genius, and if he were to add the bloodline of an ancient emperor, I can't even imagine how strong he would be."

Everyone chatted idly, activating a soundproofing array to avoid disturbing Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng sat cross-legged, only now realizing how difficult it was to achieve a full awakening. No wonder those cultivators used every means to reach the pinnacle of their lives before breaking through.

Awakening the bloodline of an ancient emperor is like finding a needle in a haystack. One must look inward and search repeatedly for those hidden yet unique bloodstains or peculiar features. Once the first one is found, the rest will be much easier.

Ok?

Zhou Zheng suddenly had a premonition and adjusted his mental state. If repeatedly searching for something was wrong, then he would try a different method: actively attracting the ancient emperor's bloodline to appear. As long as he condensed and purified his magical essence at his heart, he would definitely be able to attract the ancient emperor's bloodline to appear.

Gather the power of the five elements in your heart.

A stream of light, wrapped in mysterious black and gold runes, appeared out of thin air, condensed into a circle before the Five Elements Source Power, and slowly rotated.

[The bloodline of the ancient emperor begins to awaken]

Time stood still.

Space, frozen.

Zhou Zheng sensed the stillness of all things, and the world was incredibly peaceful at that moment. Curious, he opened his eyes and saw a world unlike any other.

This is a world where time has stopped. Liu Zhen remains in the position of eating sunflower seeds, while everyone else sits in chairs in various postures. Xiaoxue's eyes are full of worry and curiosity, but she sits sideways like a statue.

The sound of rushing water came from the sky.

Zhou Zheng looked up curiously and saw a wave of water stretching to the sky, flowing across the horizon. It gradually grew larger, wider, and deeper, transforming into a semi-transparent ocean current that swept through the sky. The sound of the waves became very loud, as if the ocean was flowing in the sky.

A giant ship sailed in from the sea, with a semi-transparent giant, hundreds of meters tall, pushing the oars and gliding it back and forth.

The translucent giant stood by the ship, looking down at the earth. He saw Zhou Zheng, stretched out a giant hand from the sky and laid it flat in front of Zhou Zheng, gesturing for him to come up.

With a light jump, Zhou Zheng landed on the giant hand, using the slightly bent fingers to slide into the palm.

The translucent giant slightly clenched his palm, raised his hand, and a sudden gust of wind rose, carrying Zhou Zheng up to the giant ship in the sky.

The translucent giant placed Zhou Zheng on his shoulder, gripped the oar again, stared ahead, and asked in a booming voice, "Where are you going?"

Zhou Zheng: "Where is this?"

The semi-transparent giant laughed loudly, making people's ears hurt: "The long river of time, condensed by generations of the Zhou family bloodline, was laid by the Martial Emperor, maintained by later generations, and will be guarded by the future Zhou emperor. You are Zhou Zheng, right? Do you want to see the past or the future first?"

Zhou Zheng: "Huh, in the Zhou family's River of Time, is there a place for me?"

The translucent giant turned his head to the side: "Do you want to be spoiled?"

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Never mind, I want to go take a look at the past first."

The semi-transparent giant smiled, using his oars to propel the giant ship forward: "You're still too weak. See as much as you can. The further you stray from the years of your birth, the weaker your power will become. Staying inside the ship is the best way to protect you. If you're interested, you can scoop up some of the waves that rise from the side of the ship. With your current level, you can only do it once, but it will be good for you."

Wait a minute, don't scoop it up yet. Scooping it up randomly has its advantages, but scooping it up at the right time will bring even more benefits.

Zhou Zheng reluctantly withdrew his hand: "Speak faster next time, or you'll almost steal it."

The translucent giant said, "No one else is as impatient as you. You really are a reckless fool."

Zhou Zheng selectively ignored it; after all, he had heard at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand, such comments.

The giant ship was gliding toward the past. Zhou Zheng stood on the giant's shoulders and saw the strange sights on the earth caused by the reversal of time, as well as the spread of war, bloodshed, and resentment.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng also felt his power weakening. When he opened the status bar, he saw that only the golden legendary attribute was active, while the other skills and attributes had turned gray.

The translucent giant stopped. "This is as far as you can go. Any further and you'll have to fight for your life. What do you want to see?"

Zhou Zheng looked at the frozen scene on the earth and asked, "Why can't gods and demons interfere in the human world?"

The translucent giant said, "Because gods and demons are merely extensions of human life, we have agreed not to interfere in the human world. As long as humans live, gods and demons will exist. Once humans die, it is only a matter of time before gods and demons perish as well."

Moreover, the state of gods and demons is different from what you imagine.

Zhou Zheng asked curiously, "Why is it different?"
