The Gate of the Mysterious Realm

Summary

The chapter begins with a man in a hat discovering that Shi Mu possesses the bloodline of a stone monkey, which is deemed useless. After expressing his disappointment and leaving, Shi Mu learns from Li Cang Hai and Min Jiao Tou that while he did activate his bloodline, it is of no value for martial arts cultivation. This revelation devastates Shi Mu, who had high hopes for his martial arts future. Li Cang Hai advises him against participating in the Origin Martial Academy entrance exam, stating that those with a waste pulse have no chance of being accepted. Shi Mu, feeling despondent, reflects on his sudden fall from being the top martial apprentice to being labeled a waste. Days later, news spreads in Feng City about the bloodline frenzy, and Shi Mu's stone monkey bloodline is mentioned, causing mixed reactions among various factions. In the Jin family's residence, Aunt Zhen confronts the family head about a Qi Spirit Pill meant for Shi Mu, but learns it has been given to someone else due to Shi Mu's useless bloodline. Despite her protests, she realizes she cannot change the decision made by the family patriarch. Meanwhile, others in the city, including Feng Li and Gao Yuan, express their schadenfreude over Shi Mu's situation, while the Wu family plots revenge against him, eager to take advantage of his newfound status as a waste.
