Bloodlines and intelligence are sometimes discussed together, but if you really talk about them, they are actually two different things.

Bloodlines indicate a person's high potential and rapid evolution speed.

Intelligence, however, is different.

The most obvious manifestation is being highly sensitive to things like the Breathing Technique and Visualization Technique, able to comprehend them thoroughly in a short period and unleash their power.

It's equivalent to having a great mind, seeming temporarily not strong, but as long as given time, the achievements will not be small.

Of course, most of the time, bloodlines and intelligence coexist.

The ones who choose to go to Ancient Shu Mountain,

usually have great confidence in their intelligence.

Qin Lan and others also listed a few candidates, discussing who was more outstanding, capable of comprehending a better inheritance.

Among them, one person caught Lu Yuan's attention.

The Junior Daoist Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Pure Yang.

This person may not be among the Five Great Venerables, but is widely recognized for having extremely strong intelligence, having comprehended many inheritances from Dragon Tiger Mountain, all with high achievements.

"It seems this journey to Ancient Shu Mountain won't be too lonely."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips.

He was not in seclusion.

He naturally heard the discussion of the people around him clearly.

Especially the evaluation of the North Emperor that surprised Lu Yuan.

Apparently, this person's physical body is indeed quite good.

He still wore the Innate Qi Clothing, yet was still somewhat discerned by the other party.

But it's nothing.

See it if you see it.

Without thinking more, Lu Yuan continued sensing and nurturing the shackles deep within his genes.

In this way.

Time passed continuously.

A few days later.

Boom!

A rumbling sound made Lu Yuan open his eyes.

It turned out a fierce bird was provoked, flying high in the sky, only to be shot down with a missile.

Such incidents happened from time to time in the past few days, with a risk of pursuit if not careful.

Now, only military aircraft dare to fly at high altitudes.

Ordinary passenger planes have long been grounded.

Not minding these things.

Lu Yuan saw the time seemed to approach, immediately looked through the window downward.

Vast mountain ranges connected, reaching the clouds above, some peaks were even parallel with the airplane, indicating how high they were.

And those mountains, lush and verdant, with various towering trees, the roars of ancient beasts could be heard from time to time.

Nowadays, except for some cities, most of the outside world is like this.

Like an uncivilized Primitive Zone.

Full of a strong wild aura.

"Mr. Lu, we're about to descend in altitude soon, approximately half an hour left."

Zhu Qingyu's voice came as a reminder for preparations.

"Alright."

Lu Yuan replied, standing up to stretch his body.

It's finally here.

Meanwhile.

At the newly cleared open space at the foot of Ancient Shu Mountain.

Surrounding, armed troops held the safety lines with guns loaded.

Tanks and armored vehicles were lined up in a row.

If one stepped beyond the line, they would surely face immense firepower.

Moreover, hidden from sight, perhaps even more powerful thermal weapons had already targeted this location.

Inside the safety lines, crowds were surging.

These were the Awakened, very numerous, with an initial estimate of at least over twenty thousand.

Clearly, over time, more people acquired Extraordinary Power and embarked on the path of evolution.

At this moment, the Awakened on the open ground, each with excited expressions, were gazing forward.

The inheritance of Ancient Shu Mountain, who wouldn't want to obtain it?

Regarding the journey to the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, due to the three barriers, it blocked many people, and many also perished, but here, just sitting and comprehending would be enough, very relaxed, with no great danger, which also makes it quite attractive.

Right now, everyone was looking forward.

There,

was a gigantic towering peak, the summit like the tip of a sword, piercing the sky with immense power.

From its top extended a series of steps stretching down to the foot of the mountain.

Every certain distance, a three-zhang tall stele stood.

The steles were jet black, without any visible peculiarity.

But on them were engraved sword-shaped patterns, so lifelike, as if they were real Divine Swords.

Counting carefully, there were ninety-nine Sword Steles, arranged successively upward.

The highest one was at the mountain's top.

Everyone knew that among those steles, the strongest and best inheritance was hidden.

Of course, many thought there was no need to reach there, as just comprehending those at the foot was enough.

"Old Zheng, how many Sword Stele inheritances do you think we'll receive this time, opening up Ancient Shu Mountain?" At the foot of the mountain, an elder spoke, looking at Dean Zheng beside him.

The elder was the principal of Zhen Dan Academy in Shuntian City, by the surname Chen, and among the highest-ranking in all the branches.

Apart from him, there were three others, two men, and a woman, also principals of the other three major super cities.

"I don't know, getting around a dozen would be good enough."

Dean Zheng shook his head: "And I estimate the rankings wouldn't be too good, at most around thirty-third place."

For this Sword Stele comprehension plan,

Zhen Dan Academy had prepared extensively.

A total of ninety-nine levels, the ranks were a representation, the larger the number, the higher the rank, and of course, the difficulty increased too.

At thirty levels, it's about one-third up.

"Indeed, compared to level one, the thirty-level stele, to comprehend, requires intelligence of what degree." Another person answered, who was the principal of Hu City Academy, a woman in her forties.

Slightly sighing as she spoke, because she had also tried before, indeed comprehending one,

but the ranking wasn't high, only at the fifteenth level.

In fact,

before this, Zhen Dan Academy had gathered all their elites, and even invited some old Daoists.
