Chapter 1359 The Power Of Sanctuary

• Jonathan's gaze intensified after he heard Alec's words. Alec is the ruler of Sanctuary. Unlike my Asura Office, Sanctuary is a true national-level organization of cultivators. Especially under the blessing of the Holy Blood, a large number of Sanctuary cultivators can be nurtured in the God Realm. Although Sanctuary implements the principle of batch cultivation and there is no interference with each other, Ksana once mentioned that Sanctuary searches nationwide every three years for children who possess the emperor's bloodline. Even under their deliberate arrangements, many descendants of the emperor's bloodline, who lacked the aptitude for cultivation, would come together in many fortunate coincidences. This was done to increase the concentration of the bloodline in the next generation. Such a method can, within a few short decades, gather a large number of children who possess the cultivation qualifications of the emperor's bloodline. However, there is a drawback. The pairing of the emperor's bloodline can lead to a significant contraction of the bloodline. As an example, currently, there are a hundred thousand people in Remdik who possess the emperor's bloodline. If these people were to have children normally, they could form at least seventy to eighty thousand families, ensuring their descendants carry the emperor's bloodline. However, if paired together, even if all of these one hundred thousand individuals were of marriageable age and of different genders, at most, they could only form fifty thousand families. Although this method can significantly enhance the bloodline concentration of newborns, such an approach is akin to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, effectively severing the future development of Sanctuary prematurely. After all, the Holy Blood extracted from the emperor's heart can only be harnessed by those cultivators who possess the emperor's bloodline. Its incubation effect is exclusive to them. Such an approach would absolutely be impossible unless all the higher-ups in Sanctuary are fools. Yet, they went ahead and did it anyway, which leaves only one possibility. Sanctuary is planning a major operation, one that requires the participation of a large number of God Realm cultivators. According to Ksana, this operation has been unfolding since the moment she entered Sanctuary. Up until now, nearly thirty years have passed. If even Sanctuary needs to plan for thirty years, what exactly are they trying to do?
• Jonathan looked at Alec, his gaze filled with solemnity. “Alec, I know that you people from Sanctuary, under the influence of the Holy Blood, tend to prematurely tap into your body's potential. This will cause your body to stop growing at some point in time completely. I'm curious. How old are you this year, and how long have you been in charge of Sanctuary?”
• Alec chuckled as he looked at Jonathan. “It seems Ksana has told you a lot about Sanctuary, but you really shouldn't know so much. Is that your speculation?”
