Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 746 - 415: Fusing Blood Crystals! The Advancement of the Blood Essence Dao!

"Within this Blood Crystal, there's actually a trace of the Blood Essence Dao's aura. By fusing the Blood Crystal into oneself, one can naturally grasp the Blood Essence Dao Prototype!"

Jiang Shu grasped a Blood Crystal, his eyes gleaming with delight!

He hadn't expected such a great surprise right after entering these Ancient Demon Sect Relics.

For someone at the Nirvana Realm like him, various elixirs and treasures were just external objects. Now, in the True Martial Sect, he already held a very high status; even though he was just at the Nirvana Realm, his ability to mobilize resources even surpassed some ordinary Vientiane Realm elders.

Entering the Ancient Demon Sect Relics was precisely to gain more Dao Inheritances while he was still in the Nirvana Realm. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

After all, with his current foundations, he could certainly advance to the Vientiane Realm, but once promoted, he would have to fall into a long period of Dao comprehension, which was evidently a last resort choice.

"The fusion of Blood Crystals probably depends on one's grasp of the Blood Essence Dao Prototype. The more one grasps, the more one can fuse."

Mumbling as he proceeded, Jiang Shu unknowingly kept advancing, collecting the Blood Crystals he saw until he could find no more in the area, then he began the fusion process.

A few breaths later.

The first Blood Crystal was directly fused by Jiang Shu, and he could feel the changes in his physique. It seemed that his physical body increased to a certain extent in an instant. Although this increase was merely quantitative, it was still extremely terrifying.

Because this was an experience completely unimaginable in the Eight Great Sects.

This was definitely not orthodox cultivation!

This cultivation speed would make any Nirvana Realm True Monarch envious!

"No wonder at the time, the Ancient Demon Sect could stand against all the major sects. I just happened to arrive randomly and got such a mysterious Blood Crystal. If the sect disciples of that time cultivated using such Blood Crystals, they would probably grasp the Blood Essence Dao quickly. Even if the fusion of Blood Crystals was limited by physique, they only fused a few, but those derived divine skills from cultivating the Blood Essence Dao allowed them to enter quickly."

"It seems that the old monsters mentioned by Master who wish to enter here may not all aim for the Demon Sect. It might also be for themselves. After all, even the disciples and elders of the Eight Great Sects are essentially selfish, let alone the Demon Sect."

"Reincarnation is not an easy matter. If one fails to awaken past life memories, they might truly perish on the path of reincarnation. There are methods to prolong life even for those who reach the Nirvana Realm. Even if transformed into a Soul Body, they can live a little longer. Why reincarnate, start all over again, and expose oneself to various crises?"

"Such a choice is naturally for seeking greater benefits. In their past lives, with all their talents and fortunes, they only reached the Nirvana Realm and couldn't advance to the Vientiane Realm. In this life, they naturally want to obtain treasures like the Blood Crystal in the Ancient Demon Sect Relics. Although the Blood Essence Dao contained in one Blood Crystal is insufficient, accumulating enough of them certainly leads to qualitative change if ten or more are fused!"

With thoughts swirling in his mind, Jiang Shu began to let the second Blood Crystal merge with his blood. He could feel a sting significantly sharper than when fusing the first Blood Crystal, but as he persisted, the sting gradually weakened until it vanished.

This signified the perfect fusion of the Blood Crystal.

"It seems that the more Blood Crystals one fuses, the greater the repulsion. More mastery of the Blood Essence Dao Prototype is needed to fuse more."

Jiang Shu speculated.

Since the Blood Crystal had proven useful, he naturally wasn't in a hurry to leave this desolate mountain. Rather than contending with the old monsters for various Demon Sect Inheritances, he might as well guard the Blood Crystal.

After all, compared to those old monsters, his knowledge of the Ancient Demon Sect Relics is nearly nonexistent. His only advantage is likely his strength, which should surpass those old monsters.

But what of it? Just from the blood mist of this desolate mountain, it's evident that the Ancient Demon Sect Relics are fraught with peril.

He doesn't have too much time to waste fighting with those old monsters.

"Only three Blood Crystals left, no rush to search, fuse up to ten first."

Until he fused the ninth Blood Crystal, Jiang Shu's closed eyes finally opened. Upon fusing the ninth Blood Crystal, he could sense within himself the Blood Essence Dao Prototype, reaching further potential, as if fusing one more would allow further progress.

"Fusing one more might bring further advancement, but new changes might occur. Here, it's becoming somewhat inappropriate."

With a thought, a panel appeared in Jiang Shu's mind, confirming there was no sense of being spied on around him. He concealed his form in a spot and instantly vanished, the Two Realms Shuttle.

From the start, his plan was to return to Xuanxing within the Ancient Demon Sect Relics.

In this way, he could search for resources and inheritance while traveling from Xuanxing to the Star Ruins Realm, managing both simultaneously.

...

In the Pacific Ocean, a Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile lay in the center of an island.

After being subdued by Jiang Shu, it had loyally stationed itself in the Pacific Ocean. Even upon reaching the Transformation Realm, it hadn't entered retreat for cultivation, but continuously nurtured mutant beasts, transforming their bloodlines into demon beasts.

Recently, a new Inner Core Realm demon beast emerged under its arrangement, stationed on the west side of the Pacific Ocean.
