"The realms have never been officially fixed, but there's a standardized way of classifying the strength of an Ancient Sage through their difference in strength and special characteristics. I think you should be able to use it as a reference," Zhang Hongtian said.
"After achieving a breakthrough to Ancient Sage, a cultivator will be able to pass down the unique traits of their bloodline to their descendants, similar to our Zhang Clan. The reason that our clan members wield the power of the Time Quintessence is because we had an ancestor who had once reached such a realm. As such, the term used for the first realm is 'Bloodline Continuance'. This serves as an indicative sign as to whether one has achieved a breakthrough to Ancient Sage yet or not."
"Bloodline Continuance…" Zhang Xuan repeated the term as he nodded in response.
That did make sense.
