Chapter 129 - 129: Speculation and Decision
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Elder Blood River knew that he could compress Zhang Chen’s cultivation time only because he had obtained Hong Longguang’s memories and knew that Zhang Chen could provide a large amount of refined blood.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen’s heart sank.
Once the fact that he could refine a large amount of blood was exposed, Elder Xuehe would probably directly probe his soul.
The reason why he hadn’t made a move on him yet was that Hong Longguang only knew about his blood trading with his senior brothers, and the trading time was not very long.
This blood essence was not much to Elder Blood River, not enough to attract his attention. At the moment, he was more interested in controlling Zhang Chen’s soul after he broke through the Golden Core stage.
“I control most of the blood division in the Beast Garden and don’t lack blood. Continuing to trade was to win over my fellow disciples and establish connections.
“With my current strength, I don’t have to care about the ways of the world anymore. It’s time to stop.”
After making up his mind, Zhang Chen transformed into a blood light and flew towards his cave.
Back in his cave, Zhang Chen couldn’t wait to take out the jade slip he had just obtained.
As long as he mastered the Blood Sacrifice Technique, his strength would increase at least tenfold.
He pasted the jade slip on his forehead, and mysterious and arcane characters entered his mind one by one.
[Detected cultivation technique, Blood Sacrifice Technique. Use a secret technique to establish a connection with the Netherworld Blood Sea and sacrifice the Blood God Son to it.]
[When the Netherworld Blood Sea absorbs the Blood God Son, it will form an energy nourishment that will increase the Blood God Son’s cultivation realm for a short period of time, but it will not be able to break through to the Golden Core realm.]
[Side effects: Every sacrifice will deepen the connection with the Netherworld Blood Sea. When the connection reaches a certain level, it will be sensed by the master of the Netherworld Blood Sea and forcefully absorbed and devoured, becoming a part of the Netherworld Blood Sea.] [Please wait a moment, system modification is in progress…]
[Ding! Modification complete. Side effects canceled.]
“This Blood Sacrifice Technique is actually sacrificing the Blood God Son to the Netherworld Blood Sea?” Zhang Chen showed a surprised expression.
The jade slip only recorded the chanting and process of the technique, but did not explain its source and side effects.
Legend had it that the Blood God Sect’s inheritance came from the Netherworld Blood Sea.
The owner of the Netherworld Blood Sea was Patriarch Nether River.
According to the modifier, each sacrifice would deepen the connection with the Netherworld Blood Sea. At a certain level, Patriarch Nether River would sense it and forcefully absorb and devour it with great magic power.
The function of increasing the cultivation realm of the Blood God Son was actually just an accessory.
Zhang Chen guessed that the Blood Sacrifice Technique was very likely deliberately spread by Patriarch Nether River.
Not only did it acquire sacrifices and strengthen the Blood Sea, but it also had to devour the sacrificer. It could be said to be a model of the demonic path.
However, Zhang Chen did not have to worry about this at all. After being modified by the modifier, he could use it without restraint.
“I wonder if that old thing Blood River knows this? He probably doesn’t. If I’m devoured by the Netherworld Blood Sea, he won’t get anything. It won’t do him any good.”
Zhang Chen answered his own question, then withdrew his thoughts and began to study the Blood Sacrifice Technique.
Seven days later.
“Disciple of the Pill Pavilion requests an audience with Senior Brother Zhang.”
Zhang Chen was not surprised to hear the voice outside the cave abode. He stood up and walked out because today was the day he agreed to trade blood essence with the Alchemy Tower.
When the Pill Pavilion disciple saw Zhang Chen, he hurriedly bowed. “Senior Brother Zhang, I’m here on behalf of the Pill Pavilion to exchange for blood essence.”
Zhang Chen nodded and took out the blood storage bag containing the blood essence and threw it over.
The disciple from the Pill Pavilion also took out the blood bag containing the Foundation Establishment demon blood, but he dared not be as casual as Zhang Chen and instead held it up with both hands.
Zhang Chen took the bag and said, “Go back and tell your Eldest Senior Brother that our deal ends here.”
The disciple from the Pill Pavilion hurriedly asked, “Can Senior Brother Zhang please tell me the reason?”
“You don’t need to know the reason. Just go back and tell them,” Zhang Chen said and turned around to enter the cave, ignoring him.
The Pill Pavilion disciple wanted to say something but hesitated. His expression was ugly. He was likely to be held accountable after he went back and reported what Zhang Chen had said.
Not long after, the Pill Pavilion disciple arrived at Gu Pingshan’s cave abode and truthfully relayed what Zhang Chen had said.
Gu Pingshan’s face darkened. “Didn’t he explain the reason?”
The Pill Pavilion disciple replied carefully, “I asked, but Senior Brother Zhang said we don’t need to know.”
“Qualifying for the Demon Path Grand Competition, and he thinks he’s better than everyone, even me?!”
Gu Pingshan’s face grew darker. Each transaction may not have been for a large amount of essence blood, but it had been stable for more than a decade, and the accumulation was significant.
Relying on this blood essence, his strength increased greatly. He also roped in many people and made the Pill Pavilion his sole say.
Now that the supply of blood essence had suddenly and inexplicably been cut off, he might lose his current position, so he was naturally very angry.
“Before, I didn’t investigate the source of the blood essence because I was afraid of accidents and losing a stable source of blood essence. Now that you can’t provide it anymore, it’s worthless!””
Gu Pingshan’s gaze turned cold as he ordered, “Go and have someone keep an eye on Zhang Chen’s every move.”
“Yes, Eldest Senior Brother.” The Pill Pavilion disciple replied and left.
Although they were extremely reluctant, they had no choice.
Previously, they had traded essence blood to resist Wu Chang, their third senior brother.
Now that Wu Chang was dead, Hong Longguang had left, and Zhang Chen had shown his strength during the selection process, they could do nothing against him.
Zhang Chen also noticed that his senior brothers and sisters had changed their attitude towards him, becoming less enthusiastic and more dismissive. Zhang Chen did not care about this, just like how humans did not care about the ants under their feet.
Half a month later, a blood light fell into the dense forest fifty miles away from the Blood God Sect.
Through his perception of the Blood God Son, Zhang Chen knew that Shen Yijun was coming towards him.
“Last time I said that as long as Shen Yijun could bring ten cultivators at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment for me to control, I would release him.
I wonder if he will bring me a surprise this time.”
Zhang Chen smiled and stood in the forest waiting.
Meanwhile, in the Blood God Sect, the disciple in charge of the Pill Pavilion reported Zhang Chen’s departure from the sect to Gu Pingshan.
After hearing this, Gu Pingshan grinned, “He left the sect at this time? Since we can’t investigate the source of his blood essence, I can only use the Soul Searching Technique.”
Although Zhang Chen had easily defeated a cultivator at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment cultivator, in Gu Pingshan’s eyes, it was nothing special and at most equivalent to a cultivator at the eighth level.
In the Blood God Sect, every cultivator at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment was not a simple character and had profound knowledge, as well as many secret techniques.
Although he had not investigated the source of Zhang Chen’s blood essence before, he was not completely unprepared.
There was a special kind of powder on the blood storage bag he gave to Zhang Chen, which was colorless and odorless and only detectable by the demon beasts fed with this kind of pill since childhood.
From the beginning, he had no intention of letting Zhang Chen go.
If Zhang Chen could not provide the blood essence steadily, he would use this method to investigate the source of the blood essence.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, where exactly is the ancient cultivation cave abode you mentioned? If we continue forward, we’ll reach the Blood God Sect.’
“Fellow Daoist Ma, we’ve known each other for 200 years. Why would I lie to you? It’s just ahead. We’ll be there soon.” 𝘧𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝑛𝑜𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝘮
Shen Yijun reassured the cultivators beside him and increased their flying speed..
