Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 759 - 421: Entering the Demon Sect Ruins Again! Blood Crystal Struggle! (Part 2)

Even if those old monsters live a second life, how could they truly compare to him?

"Whoosh!"

The wind whistled as Jiang Shu both comprehended some Great Dao Embryos he had understood and searched for Blood Crystals. Although old monsters and geniuses from the Demon Sect had already entered this Blood Mist Deserted Mountain, some Blood Crystals were inevitably left behind.

Within just a few days, Jiang Shu collected several Blood Crystals, not rushing to merge them, while his figure moved towards the deepest area.

"What a pity, this Blood Mist Deserted Mountain has been scoured extensively, with many Blood Crystals already taken away by others. These old monsters from the Demon Sect indeed have some methods, as they managed to erase all traces before leaving. However, the traces they erased are on various sand and stones; there will still be residual traces in the void."

Jiang Shu's spiritual power spread. No matter how long the old monsters from the Demon Sect cultivate or how many Divine Skills they possess, they remain in the Nirvana Realm.

How many among them have expertise in space manipulation? The fact that they managed to erase traces from external objects has proven their carefulness.

This caution is not aimed at geniuses within the Eight Great Sects but at other old monsters and geniuses within the Demon Sect.

After all, the Demon Sect in the Endless Sea appears united, but in reality, it remains scattered. Each Demon Sect has its own cultivation philosophy; how could they truly merge together?

Merging is also for future unification.

The Ancient Demon Sect Relics is a great opportunity; whoever gains the most inheritance will have a broader future for their Demon Sect, and thus can lead.

Unfortunately for them, this time they encountered Jiang Shu, who acquired the "Great Void Heart Scripture".

His expertise in space manipulation rivals that of some ordinary Vientiane Realm Daoist Venerables.

Jiang Shu extended a hand as if grasping something directly in the void. Under his spiritual power, he sensed a few strands of residual faint traces, quickly discerning the direction in which these old monsters of the Demon Sect advanced.

"Southeast direction, should be only tens of thousands of miles from here; quite close."

With traces in hand, Jiang Shu took a step forward. Before him, spaces folded one after another, forming various space turbulence. While traversing through the turbulence, he not only concealed his own tracks but also managed to pursue the old monster geniuses of the Demon Sect at an incredible speed.

However, it's unclear how many Blood Crystals they have looted from the Blood Mist Deserted Mountain.

Hopefully, they won't let him down.

Within the void, Jiang Shu's speed grew ever faster; the trace in his hand was completely crushed. When the distance gets too close, holding the trace can easily alert the old monsters.

Although he doesn't mind alarming them, it would be more efficient to finish swiftly, no need to waste time.

After dealing with this group of old monster geniuses, he plans to explore other treasure lands.

The Blood Mist Deserted Mountain hosts Blood Crystals that can enhance the comprehension of the Blood Essence Dao.

Other treasure lands might have similar Blood Crystal-like treasures.

They might potentially enhance a genius's understanding of other Daos.

Not to mention, the most important thing in the Ancient Demon Sect Relics must be the inheritance from mixed cave realm Demon Sect Daoist Venerables and even returning to void realm Demon Sect Daoist Masters. These inheritances definitely involve the Space Dao and even the Time Dao.

To him now, they are incredibly beneficial.

Those old monsters entered here for such inheritance.

...

"Elder Xue, what are you thinking?"

Tens of thousands of miles away, four figures were rushing quickly.

Though there are old monsters who live a second life in the Demon Sect, such old monsters are not many. Cultivating a second life is rarely smooth sailing, as some old monsters encounter various issues at different times, with some not even reaching the realm of their previous life.

After all, many cultivators arrive at this realm by chance, with added great opportunities and fortune. In the second life, with insufficient opportunities and fortune, despite deep foundations and cultivation memories, they can at most ensure reaching the Nirvana Realm.

These four figures are from the Blood Soul Sect within the Demon Sect.

Only the leading young man is an old monster reincarnated; the others are geniuses specially nurtured within the Blood Soul Sect. Each possesses Nirvana Realm Middle Stage cultivation; their talent and realm, though lesser than some other Demon Sect geniuses, have greatly improved since entering the Ancient Demon Sect Relics, with one being almost at the threshold of Nirvana Realm Late Stage.

It's just that breakthroughs in the Ancient Demon Sect Relics are difficult, otherwise he would like to go into seclusion now, face the Nirvana Thunder Tribulation, and formally attempt advancing to Nirvana Realm Late Stage.

"I just feel a bit uneasy, like something has been overlooked."

The youth called Elder Xue frowned slightly; he had mixed well in the Endless Sea in his previous life, mastering the Blood Soul Sect's most famous two Great Dao Embryos, the Blood Essence Dao and Soul Capturing Dao.

The Blood Essence Dao specially cultivates the body, and once comprehended, provides strong bodily offense and defense, different from the blood rebirth of the Nirvana Realm.

The blood rebirth of a Nirvana Realm True Monarch is essentially spirit survival, able to re-derive oneself through a drop of Essence Blood.

In truth, as long as the spirit persists, they can revive through various means even without Essence Blood, though such revival won't be of their original body.

The comprehension of the Blood Essence Dao, however, ensures every part of the body has its own consciousness, allowing a second life even if the spirit is obliterated or captured through a drop of Essence Blood.

This is genuinely blood rebirth.

In his previous life, Elder Xue was far from achieving this step, but in this life, he sees hope.

Blood Crystals!

In the Blood Mist Deserted Mountain, merely merging with around forty Blood Crystals elevated his Blood Essence Dao Embryo to the same stage as in his previous life, with a clearly improved body.

Now, he can claim not to fear even the strongest from the Nirvana Golden List.

But why, even though his strength has grown, does he feel a thread of unease?

Clearly, it wasn't there days ago.

"Maybe it's something within this relic affecting you, Elder Xue."

One genius from the Demon Sect remarked, with a few flattery tones in his words.

Within the sect, he naturally knows how powerful Elder Xue is. The battles in the Endless Sea have been ongoing for years; Elder Xue has not undertaken any tasks because he wants to maximize his strength, seeking greater benefits from the relic!

In reality, their Blood Soul Sect's arrangement this time was indeed very successful.

Quickly reaching the Blood Mist Deserted Mountain through long-standing records within the sect, they successfully gathered over four hundred Blood Crystals in just over a year — enough to nurture a large group of geniuses, comprehending the Blood Essence Dao Embryo, and possibly cultivating someone who could comprehend the whole Blood Essence Dao from the Blood Crystals, ultimately advancing to the Vientiane Realm.

Though the chances are slim, they are not nonexistent.

Like Elder Xue, it's highly likely he can fully comprehend the Blood Essence Dao through the Blood Crystals after leaving the relic!

"That might be true, and I am familiar with those old monsters; with their methods, they may defeat me, but to kill me is impossible. The Eight Great Sects likely wouldn't arrange for old monsters to live a second life since they aren't like our Demon Sect, having records of the Ancient Demon Sect Relics."

Elder Xue shook his head, as his mind filtered through other old monsters from the sects within the Demon Sect.

He indeed didn't think of the geniuses from the Eight Great Sects.

During the start of the great battle, he was always secluded within the sect; in his view, the Eight Great Sects, while some have True Disciples with extraordinary talent, talent after all is talent, as strength requires time to grow.

In five hundred years of cultivation, how many can reach and surpass the Nirvana Thunder Tribulation, arriving at Nirvana Realm Late Stage?

Not to mention, his strength now is no weaker than some strong figures from the Nirvana Golden List.

Ordinary Nirvana Realm Late Stage geniuses, even if they come, would be completely slain and refined into cultivation nutrients by him!
