After Zen had completely mastered the Blood-controlling Method, he went to meet the Monkey Spirit
King again.
The latter was surprised to see Zen's coral blood sword. It was an unusual thing.
However, as a monkey, he knew no more about the ancestry-level bloodline than Tearrag did.
Even if he knew nothing about it at all, it wouldn't matter. All he cared about was whether Zen could
grant him the blended bloodlines. He was not interested in the ancestry-level bloodline itself; not unless
he could fuse with it.
His past had been rather unfortunate. He was unable to fuse with the ancestry-level bloodline before
his corporeal body got destroyed. He might have had a chance at that time. But now, he had become a
Treacherous Being, which meant it was impossible for him to do so anymore.
"Alas, I was under the impression that Kincaid had left the methods of merging bloodlines somewhere
here," the Monkey Spirit King sighed. There was a look of regret and helplessness on his face.
Zen cupped his hands towards him and said, "Don't worry. I am sure we can still find a way."
"Really? Is there something you can do?" the Monkey Spirit King asked disdainfully.
He admired Kincaid from the bottom of his heart.
In his eyes, only Kincaid could help him in this world. Zen was nothing to him and he was only paying
the man any attention because there was a slight chance Zen could help him.
Besides, Zen, the Primeval Lord of Heaven, and the Snake Goddess were all fake human spirits.
The only reason the Monkey Spirit King hadn't chased them away was that they had saved his life. In
any case, it was preposterous to expect them to come up with a way to merge the bloodlines.
Zen himself knew the Monkey Spirit King was rather arrogant. And to be honest, if he were the Monkey
Spirit King, he would also have looked down upon the humans.
However, he said in a tone that was neither humble nor pushy, "Although we are not human spirits, we
still are sentient, intelligent beings. The Primeval Lord of Heaven managed to merge the source-level
bloodlines even though there were only a few dozen of them. You should have noticed this before."
Looking back, when the Monkey Spirit King had been trapped in the dream, he had felt the auras of the
blended bloodlines, which had brought him a little glimmer of hope.
"Is it true? Did you do that?" the Monkey Spirit King asked, staring at the Primeval Lord of Heaven.
"Yes," the Primeval Lord of Heaven said.
"Good job." The Monkey Spirit King suddenly complimented him with a laugh and then continued in a
serious tone, "If you want me to give you some benefits, you can ask directly. Whatever you do, don't
lie to me about blended bloodlines. Although I'm not good at studying, I'm not a fool! And I can easily
spot a liar!"
The Monkey Spirit King suddenly began burning with anger. Zen, the Primeval Lord of Heaven, and the
Snake Goddess immediately felt a heavy stone-like pressure pressing down on their hearts.
It was true! The Monkey Spirit King was not stupid, and neither were the Monkey Masters. In fact, they
were extremely intelligent creatures, and their intuition was quite strong.
Lying to them was impossible!
Zen had the ancestry-level bloodline in his body. If the Primeval Lord of Heaven really was confident
about merging bloodlines, he would never have bargained in this vague way.
The Monkey Spirit King knew this very well.
"Please calm down, Monkey Spirit King," Zen called out, cupping his hands once again. "You
misunderstood me."
"Oh, really?" the Monkey Spirit King sneered coldly.
He hated a lot of things but what he hated most was when others treated him as a fool. Kincaid was an
exception.
"From what we could learn and decipher from the stone tablets in the coffin, we can merge bloodlines,
and the process is not difficult. However, it will take a long time, and we will need a lot of manpower as
well as material resources," Zen explained.
"I am patient! I can wait," the Monkey Spirit King replied as he waved his hand.
The wind pressure he was exerting on the people in front of him was lifted. A noise like rolling giant
stones could be heard in the hall when that happened.
He had been waiting for countless years. He had all the time in the world.
"You can, but the chaos cannot! And the Snake Masters and the Bird Masters can't either. They will
definitely not be satisfied with this," said Zen.
"They can come if they want to. No one is blocking them!" the Monkey Spirit King replied indifferently.
The Monkey Spirit Sect was like the weapon of the Four Spirits Sect.
And the Monkey Spirit King himself was the strongest weapon in the Four Spirits Sect.
Those birds and snakes meant nothing to him.
Zen, the Primeval Lord of Heaven, and the Snake Goddess fell silent when they saw his expression.
They knew that the Monkey Spirit Sect had once been defeated by the Snake Spirit Sect.
The Monkey Spirit King clearly realized what they were thinking about and said in a low, diffident voice,
"Look! If we were in the main world, those snakes would have been torn to pieces by my hands. Even if
Cornelius himself were to confront me, he would face no good end. But it is hard to say what would
happen in the chaos."
The Monkey Spirit King had been completely invincible in the main world.
"We are familiar with the chaos. As the continuation of human spirits, we will try our best to help you.
But you must understand that it's difficult for us to fight them or stand against them. Please grant us the
Blood-controlling Methods, and let us fuse with a few Treacherous Beings. That way, we will at least
stand a chance against the Snake Spirit Sect. And we will fight alongside your sect."
Zen made a request again.
The Ghost Mountain had once had several strict rules.
Only the Great Ghost Priests were allowed to fuse with hatred-level Treacherous Beings.
Among the human heroes, only four of them had obtained hatred-level Treacherous Beings, while the
others merely had resentment-level ones.
But the most important thing right now was the Blood-controlling Methods.
They could increase the power of one's own bloodline by a factor of three, which was an extremely
strong boost for the human heroes.
Zen was trying his best right now, and saying whatever he needed in order to persuade the Monkey
Spirit King.
The human race didn't only need help from the Monkey Spirit Sect. They also needed the sect to treat
them as allies, just like they had been allies with the Human Spirit Sect before. This was much more
important than any help they could give.
The Monkey Spirit King looked at Zen with his big eyes. He knew clearly what Zen was implying.
But to him, Zen was like a child making an unreasonable request to an adult. It was ridiculous.
However, the Monkey Spirit King had an intuition that he should trust this human.
And that was only because of the ancestry-level bloodline.
Kincaid knew the most about the ancestry-level bloodline. Zen's fusion with the ancestry-level bloodline
was sure to have something to do with Kincaid.
Kincaid's decision was always the right one.
Thinking about that, the Monkey Spirit King felt relieved, and then put on a lazy look. "Tearrag, take
them to fetch the Blood-controlling Methods. They can choose whatever Treacherous Beings they like
in the Ghost Mountain."
If he were to be honest, the Monkey Spirit King had a few measures he could use to control Zen.
However, he had always trusted his instincts, and he was going to do the same today.
Right now, he was treating these humans as members of the Human Spirit Sect, so he would not resort
to those despicable methods.
Very soon, Zen and the others left the Ghost Mountain and went to the grotto in the south of the Night
View Island.
As soon as Zen announced news of fusion with hatred-level Treacherous Beings, the humans in the
grotto got excited.
The Snake Goddess, Fuxi, Yasamin, King Ieuan and the three Eternal Realm Hunters looked at Zen
with expectant eyes. They were wondering whether they could fuse with Treacherous Beings as well.
After all, they had come from outside the Night View Island.
Of course, Zen knew what they wanted. He smiled faintly and then set them at ease. "Everyone can
choose a Treacherous Being and fuse with it. I also have another piece of good news."
"What is it?" the Snake Goddess asked.
"The Monkey Masters will give you the Blood-controlling Methods," Zen replied with a smile.
"What are they?" Fuxi asked in a confused tone.
"They are methods to activate the bloodlines of the Four Spirits Sect. They can improve your bloodline
power," Zen explained.
Chiyou asked curiously, "Really? How much improvement? I mean how much of a difference would it
make?"
"A lot! They can improve your bloodline power by about three times," Zen replied with another big
smile.
