Chapter 1051 - 350: Human Race Secret Vault

"Thank you, Alliance Leader, for clarifying."

"Speaking of the Divine Treasure, I once received guidance from Senior Xia Ping and indeed found some hidden secrets within it."

"Unfortunately, my capabilities are lacking, and I couldn’t unlock the vast potential concealed in the Divine Treasure."

"However, I’m convinced that there are enormous secrets hidden within the Divine Treasure."

"Yet, the once-prosperous Witch Race, who also practiced the Body Cultivation Path, did they never unlock the Divine Treasure?"

"Did they not study the mysteries contained within the Divine Treasure?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

He had received Qiong Yun’s Witch Race legacy and perused many Witch Tao cultivation texts left behind by Qiong Yun.

However, he found no trace or record related to the Divine Treasure, which made him quite curious.

Both practiced the body cultivation path.

Yet, the Divine Treasure seemed to be possessed only by martial arts cultivators.

"No."

"Do you know what cultivation techniques the ancient Witch Race practiced?"

"And why the Witch Race, who led the Human Race to rise and reached the peak of the Ten Thousand Races, eventually disappeared in the long river of history?"

Qin Hu smiled faintly, without directly answering.

He felt slightly relieved, finally being asked an easier question.

"Please enlighten me, Alliance Leader."

Lin Zheyu coaxed.

After receiving the Qiong Yun legacy, he already had a faint suspicion in his heart.

"It’s because the Witch Tao is the path of Chaos Divine Demons."

"When this world first started, the rules were not yet complete, and the order was still quite loose, with a vast amount of Chaos Energy remaining between heaven and earth."

"At this time, the world was very similar to the chaotic environment, allowing witchcraft to be practiced, and the Witch Race to rise."

"As time passed, this world became more refined, with rules and order becoming more complete, and the remaining Chaos Energy gradually depleted."

"Now, the world’s environment is vastly different from Chaos."

"The disappearance of the Witch Race and the replacement of the Witch Tao by the Immortal Dao was the fate of witchcraft from its inception."

Qin Hu spoke slowly, feeling somewhat lamented.

The once Witch Race that led the Human Race to the peak of the Ten Thousand Races, vanished in the historical river, prompting inevitable sighs of regret.

If the peak Witch Race experts were still around, the Demon Realm’s invasion of this world wouldn’t have resulted in a great calamity.

Lin Zheyu watched the somewhat distracted Qin Hu, silently sipping his tea, waiting quietly.

Soon, Qin Hu regained his focus.

"Haha, I was just lost in thought."

"Understanding the nature of the Witch Tao will unravel your question."

Qin Hu laughed and said, "In witch cultivation, there is no concept of the Divine Treasure, nor do they need to unlock it within themselves."

"Even if they wanted to, they couldn’t unlock it."

"The Witch Tao is essentially a path to transform oneself into a Chaos Divine Demon; its essence is Chaos Divine Demon."

"Witch cultivators cannot be considered pure Human Race anymore."

"Whereas the Martial Dao is inherently human; it is a path created by the Human Race, unique to the Human Race."

"The Divine Treasure is a physical treasure that only the Human Race can unlock."

"The Human Race who has cultivated witchcraft can no longer be considered pure Human Race, thus unable to unlock the Divine Treasure, hence no related records."

Qin Hu explained.

Only Human Race cultivates the Martial Dao and can unlock the physical Divine Treasure.

Others, whether Ancient Demons, Barbarian Race, or Sea Race, even if they embark on the martial arts path, cannot unlock the Divine Treasure.

This is what makes the Human Race so unique.

It’s a treasure unique to the Human Race.

At that time, Xia Ping chose the Divine Treasure as the breakthrough point and embarked on an unprecedented path of Martial Dao because of this.

This is also why Xia Ping despised the Ancient Martial Families, abandoned the Human Race bloodline, and sought to transform himself into a wild beast.

In his view, the Human Race is the most unique, possessing an unparalleled treasure within.

The Martial Dao is the key to unlocking this treasure.

"Is the Divine Treasure really unique to the Human Race?"

Lin Zheyu said with some surprise.

He had almost browsed through the Martial Alliance’s library but hadn’t seen any related records.

"Haha, this is just a hypothesis shared by myself and friends like Xia Ping, not yet fully verified, so it’s not recorded in the library."

Qin Hu laughed as he saw Lin Zheyu’s surprised expression.

The library contains verified martial arts knowledge, currently deemed accurate.

Some yet-unproven hypotheses and latest insights are not recorded.

"I see."

Lin Zheyu realized.

But soon, a wisp of concern emerged in his heart.

He had already accepted the Martial Dao legacy, received blessings from the Ancestral Witch, and condensed his Lifebound Witch Pattern.

Could his physical body have been altered, no longer belonging to a pure Human Race?

If so.

Then wouldn’t it mean the enormous secret hidden in the Divine Treasure was unrelated to him?

"That can’t be right?"

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but mutter.

If that’s the case, he can’t help but doubt whether receiving the Witch Race legacy was a wrong choice.

The mysterious treasure hidden in the Divine Treasure or the untrainable witchcraft; which is stronger remains unknown.

"Since you suspect the Divine Treasure is unique to the Human Race, only they can unlock it."

"Then, how do you verify if one’s bloodline is pure Human Race?"

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but ask.

Seeing Qin Hu looking at him with some confusion, Lin Zheyu quickly added:

"Uh, Alliance Leader, don’t look at me with such dubious eyes; I am definitely Human Race, and I solidly unlocked three Divine Treasures."

"But recently, I entered a Witch Clan Secret Realm and obtained some incomplete legacy."
