Wang Ba subconsciously averted his eyes, rushing to remove the Bloodline Identification Skill.
At the same time, he swiftly soothed the pain in his eyes with the Mother Qi of Dharmas.
Soon, he opened his eyes, staring at the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard licking his feet, oblivious of its surroundings.
Wang Ba’s pupils flickered slightly red, and his face displayed no emotions, though his heart was far from calm.
In his mind, he couldn’t help but recall the scene he had just witnessed.
Above the head of the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard, he saw thousands of glories intertwining like fireworks.
They were extremely unstable, as if they could explode at any moment.
However, the intriguing thing was that these glories were, rather, mashed together by the Creator.
There were five stages vaguely differentiated in them.
The most obvious ones were several glories that soared high like roofs.
Among these several glories, one was exceptionally dazzling, like a great sun.
It was sharp to the eyes and seemed to touch on some immeasurable existence.
This was the highest grade in the countless bloodlines of the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard.
Beneath these most visible glories...
At the second stage, there were dozens of large glories like winnowing baskets.
Further, at the third stage, there were hundreds and thousands, as thick as bowls.
As for the fourth and fifth stages, it was hard to count at once.
Even the lowest stage was like the ones seen on the horses.
What puzzled Wang Ba was that, in his glance just now, he didn’t see the scales and claws like he did with those horses.
Besides these meaningless bloodline glories, he gained nothing.
He could only judge from his previous experience that the complexity and depth of the bloodlines flowing in the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard far exceeded his imagination.
At this moment, Wang Ba finally understood:
"No wonder all successive peak masters of Shou Peak wanted to dig out the secrets of the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard... If those bloodlines could be cultivated separately, the Spirit Beasts that could be cultivated would be unimaginable."
Thinking of this, he quickly packed up the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard and called out the Double-Headed Stone Lizard, two Hundred Colored Stone Lizards, and the Giant Stone Lizard, Thousand-eyed Dark Lizard...
Then he carefully stimulated the Bloodline Identification Skill.
But he did not dare to look immediately, but glanced at it from the corner of his eyes.
The first thing he saw was the earliest Hundred Colored Stone Lizard.
Now, the Hundred Colored Stone Lizard, matured and fed unlimitedly with Emerald Wasps, was already over a foot long and seemed to have difficulty growing any longer.
Above its head, similar to the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard, the glories representing the types of bloodlines were still very numerous.
The only difference was that, compared to its mother, the major bloodlines of the first stage had shrunk considerably and dimmed a lot, and were even less than the second stage ones.
And the original second stage bloodline glories had shrunk dramatically, with only a few dozen remaining that retained their original state.
Below this, the majority of the bloodlines had obviously shrunk a lot compared to the mother’s bloodlines.
"Is it because the offspring’s bloodlines automatically discarded some in order to ensure bloodline stability?" Wang Ba pondered.
The bloodlines of the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard were undoubtedly extremely unstable. Previously, when the bloodline was sealed, the offspring were identical to the mother. Now that the bloodline seal is open, it is unlikely for an offspring to fully inherit the mother’s bloodline, they can only randomly obtain some bloodlines that can be stably inherited.
If these chosen bloodlines are stable, they can be passed on.
If unstable, they would naturally die like the previous Twin-winged Stone Lizards and Tumor-Headed Stone Lizards.
It could also be considered a form of survival of the fittest.
Of course, these were Wang Ba’s guesses. Whether they were accurate needs further testing when the opportunity arises. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
His gaze shifted slightly and soon saw another Hundred Colored Stone Lizard.
This Stone Lizard was different from the previous one, with the addition of earthy yellow, shiny yellow, and light blue colors on its head.
And Wang Ba quickly spotted something strange.
The bloodline glory on this Stone Lizard was almost identical to the previous Hundred-colored Stone Lizard, except that three glories were more prominent than the previous one.
These three were earth yellow, gold, and blue!
"There are minor discrepancies in color, but they largely match, and there are exactly three. Could it be..."
Immersed in beast taming knowledge for a long time, Wang Ba almost immediately noticed the subtle connection within it.
However, he quickly furrowed his brows.
If his thoughts were accurate, the Hundred Colored Stone Lizard, which was a level II upper-class beast, should have shown some characteristics.
But to date, apart from the physical strength being classifiable as a Tier II upper-class Spirit Beast, this Hundred Colored Stone Lizard had nothing special about it, identical to the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard.
"Is the bloodline still unstable?"
Wang Ba pondered for a while and could only come to this conclusion for the time being.
His gaze then rested on the Giant Stone Lizard.
What surprised him was that the bloodline of the giant Stone Lizard was significantly simpler than the Hundred Colored Stone Lizard.
Almost all of the bloodlines had shrunk considerably compared to its mother.
Only a second-stage bloodline was a standout, in a color Wang Ba could not express.
Wang Ba looked back and forth, but could not figure out what bloodline the Giant Stone Lizard had inherited.
