Ace's elation of getting a new status instantaneously vanished and turned into turmoil the moment he saw his bloodline column, which always had 'no bloodline', was now showing 'Sealed'. 

He promptly asked, "System, what is the meaning of this sealed bloodline? Did I have a bloodline like hunters? But how is it possible, since humans never possess bloodlines?" 

Ace asked a torrent of questions he wanted answers to. This discovery of bloodline completely caught him off guard. His entire understanding of humanity and himself will be shattered if this bloodline was real. 

Furthermore, this will arouse further and more grave and solemn questions like why did he have bloodline and not others, why was it sealed, and who sealed it… why…! 

"[For host's first question; before host bloodline was completely out of the system's reach because of system insufficient level. But after the system upgrade, the host sealed bloodline surface, but it's sealed with a powerful bloodline lock.]

"[As for Host second question: yes, humans can also inherit bloodlines like hunters, but for it to work, a human had to reach an extremely high cultivation level before it can pass on its unique bloodline to its descendants.]" 

Ace suddenly felt like a lightning bolt hit his brain, and his heart turned extremely icy when he heard this answer. And this made him feel like he didn't know himself. 

Because it would've been another case if he didn't have a bloodline, he simply didn't care and just consider it a piece of important information. But he had a bloodline that was sealed, and this made things completely different. 

'Just who sealed this bloodline and why? What is my real background? Did my parents know and hide it from me? But why… why… why…' Ace's mind was a mess right now. He had millions of questions, but no one can answer them. 

'White Crown hunted my parents. Does this mean the sealing of my bloodline is also related to White Crown? But what I have done to deserve this!' 

Ace suddenly emitted a dark aura which gave the feeling of bottomless despair and however it was only momentarily when it vanished the next moment. 

However, Shadow, who was close to Ace, suddenly opened her dark eyes, which were filled with absolute horror. She just felt like she had escaped sudden death. 

But after carefully examining the surrounding area, nothing came to her view and only status like Ace was sitting there with an expressionless face. 

'Did my cultivation just go berserk?' Shadow thought with lingering fear but sigh in relief the next moment since it was just a false alarm. But no matter what, that feeling of death still lingered in her heart and she can't focus on cultivation anymore. 

'Why didn't he wake up yet?' She turned her attention elsewhere, and only Ace was here. 'I should wait for while there is still one hour left before 24 hours.' 

Ace, on the other hand, was feeling something completely different because of the sudden outburst that came from his heart. He again felt the despair deeply hidden within him and the dark despair lightning was flashing in his martial space. 

But this wasn't the end. A dark wind suddenly blew in his mind space and his half soul core suddenly started to mend itself as the cracks on it started to fill. 

After an unknown time, Ace snapped out of his trance in confusion, 'What just happened? I was just thinking about bloodline and then…' 

Ace's mood again became gloomy the moment he remembered someone has sealed his bloodline, and this person was likely the one who was hunting his father and mother! 

====

[5,000 EXP and SP have been added to host status.]

[Status has been updated.]

====

Ace was snapped out of his murderous thought process hearing this unexpected notification and quickly looked at his EXP and SP columns. 

====

[Martial Cultivation: Heavenly Dark Sea {Stage-1}]

[EXP: 5,000/10,000] 

[Soul Cultivation: Orange Wind Soul Core {Stage-1}]

{SP: 5,000/10,000}

====

Ace's eyes quickly constricted when he finally saw the fresh changes in EXP and SP.

"Why did the EXP drop from hundreds of millions to ten thousand and what happened to my soul cultivation and where are my previously accommodated SP?!" He sternly demanded an explanation from the system. 

He wasn't in a good mood after he discovered that major truth about himself, and now the system had taken away his soul points. One had to know soul points were just too rare. 

Even though he was happy about the EXP requirement from millions to thousands, the system has taken away his soul points, which was unacceptable. Furthermore, he also noticed now his soul cultivation was also showing stage-1 for some reason.

"[This is the effect of stepping into Heavenly Sea Realm. Before host, Soul Cultivation was also equivalent to martial cultivation, and it was balanced. However, the Sea Realm is ten times more powerful than the Perfect River Realm, and this will shatter the balance between the host's Soul and Body sooner than later.]

"[That's why the system has unlocked the hidden part of black wind soul as well, and now host soul and marital cultivation again reached an equilibrium. Now, the soul cultivation realm will have the same stages as the host's martial cultivation and the same EXP and SP. With total stages of each realm being Nine.]

"[But this also comes with a benefit. Now, as long as the host has a sufficient amount of EXP and SP, the host can breakthrough in the next realm immediately. However, if even one EXP or SP were insufficient, then the other, the host can't break into the next realm without accommodating the reaming points of either status.]

"[Host previously accommodated SP has been naturally destroyed with half of the soul core shattered.]"     

Ace's eyes lit up when the system's explanation ended. "This means I don't need the enlightenment each time I wanted to enter the next realm and I can breakthrough continuously as long as I have sufficient SP and EXP?" 

"[Yes]" 

"… so, this means I don't need those elemental orbs anymore?" 

"[Host still needed Elemental Orbs at the end of each realm, like before. But because of heavenly black wind soul hidden part has also been unlocked, host now had to form two more soul core after black wind core.]"

Ace's mood turned gloomy again when he heard he still required those elemental orbs, and he even had to form two more soul cores. He had always wondered why the soul cores were six if he counted the colorless soul core as well, while the martial realms were eight and his soul cultivation also doesn't have realms like normal soul cultivation path. 

But after unlocking the hidden part of the heavenly crystal body, he always knew there had been a hidden part of the heavenly black wind soul as well, and he was right. 

"What are the last two new soul cores?" Ace had to ask. 

====

[Heavenly Black Wind Soul Technique: 8 Soul Cores] {Complete!}

{Colorless Form, Yellow Form, Orange Soul Form, Red Form, Golden Form, Black Form, White Form, Black White From} 

====

'White and Black White forms, huh? Well, it's not like I needed to search for something like elemental orbs for them as well. As long as I have EXP and SP and Elemental Orbs, I can become powerful with no restraint!' Ace mused and deemed. 

"Now that this is out of the way, tell me system, can you unseal the bloodline within me or there is another way?" Ace's voice was filled with intense killing intent and hatred for whoever did this to him and caused his parents' suffering.

Before he didn't know why his parents were hunted by those people, but now that he knows about his sealed bloodline he had some idea, and he'll pay back everything by million-fold after he found out whoever did this to his family. 

But first, he had to unseal this bloodline of himself, and his only shot was the system! 

"[Yes, host just needed to endure the heavenly punishment all the way to the eighth realm's heavenly punishment, and the seal will be destroyed on its own! It's already weakened to some extent after two heavenly punishments!]"

"Heavenly Punishments?!" Ace's heart sank hearing this but the next moment his heartbeat with unbreakable resolved and decided, 'So be it, I'll deal with that person with the same bloodline he sealed so viciously!' 

After that, Ace calm his mind and he also noticed his half soul core was no longer on the verge of shattering and all the cracks on it have been mended. This gave him more confidence in healing it with soul points. 

"System, open the pending rewards!" ordered Ace. He has been waiting for these rewards for ages!
