Having gone through so many twists and turns for the sake of a martial arts manual, how can we allow ourselves to be manipulated and threatened by others again!
There's no time to lose. Even if the battle destroys that stone tablet, we can always switch to the Blood God Sect's techniques!
Li Jieqing had already realized the situation.
At the same moment he made his move, the half of the transformed demonic energy that had been thrown away exploded above his head, dispersing the venomous snake-like energy that filled it. The sea owl demon, which was opening its mouth to swallow the snake tail, was hit squarely by the venomous energy, and a furious roar rose up again.
Meanwhile, the divine sense that Fairy Shecai had released was also infected by the poisonous aura before it could be withdrawn.
Amidst the dispersing miasma, a smaller, ghostly image of a toad-skinned snake emerged, hissing from its mouth.
A fierce roar and a great demon's howl resounded together.
Success!
Li Jieqing was prepared. He rushed past the Devouring Spirit Fiend in the middle and the Snake Miasma Poison Fiend above his head, and placed his hand on the Blood Heart Sect's Transmission Stone Tablet.
At the same time, he also touched something warm, which was the blood of Fairy Shecai that had been cut by the Invisible Heavenly Sword.
The two were only a few feet apart, surrounded by two kinds of evil energy. Fairy Shecai's consciousness was damaged. She covered her forehead with one hand and stepped back, abandoning the power transfer stele, and passed by Li Jieqing.
But she was laughing!
"We succeeded!"
With a sharp cry, Fairy Shecai leaned back and plunged into the Devouring Spirit Acupoint, dodging another sword strike from Li Jieqing.
At the same time, the long scarf covering the stone platform was unfurled, revealing a domino key that had already been placed on the platform.
The reversed Devouring Spirit Acupoint paused, then stopped absorbing and regenerating its power.
The displaced stone platform instantly returned to its original position!
Li Jieqing snatched the Transmission Stone Tablet and scanned it with his divine sense. Seeing that Fairy Shecai was nowhere to be seen and that the surroundings were changing again, he took the Transmission Stone Tablet and entered the jade bracelet space to leave.
As soon as he turned around, the jade bracelet, a magical artifact that had just been opened, floated up from his arms in the deep sea.
Li Jieqing reached out and grabbed it, only to find that the jade bracelet was shaking constantly, as if it were about to be thrown into the evil acupoint behind him.
Before Li Jieqing could react, the jade bracelet's protective barrier shattered, and the domino key inside flew out on its own.
The domino key landed perfectly on the stone platform.
The attraction on the stone platform was many times greater than when Li Jieqing came last time, and it even shattered the space in the jade bracelet that contained the dominoes!
With the key back in place, Fairy Luxurious Colors leaped out of the Devouring Spirit Cave again, her face flushed—no, it was her crimson hair that made her face even more flushed with excitement.
"How strange! His hair is getting redder every day. I wonder what kind of sorcery he's using..."
Li Jieqing glanced at the excited enchantress, said nothing, and turned to leave.
As expected, Fairy Shecai had a conspiracy in the first place when she invited him over. She actually managed to manipulate the Devouring Spirit Acupoint and forcibly take his key.
The altar is about to be activated, so why aren't we leaving?
Although they didn't manage to subdue the Devouring Spirit and take it away, exchanging a domino for subsequent cultivation techniques and even killing Master Baocheng along the way was worthwhile.
As for unleashing the radiant glow, there's no need to attempt something that even the Seven True Ones combined couldn't do.
Li Jieqing moved upwards, avoiding the rampaging demon Hai Xiao, and then caught the falling Qing Shui Sword and the corpse of Bao Cheng Zhenren, storing them in his jade bracelet space.
Only Master Baocheng's magic sword and a precious pearl could not be stored in the jade bracelet space, indicating that they were both intact spiritual artifacts with the binding seal still in place.
"As expected of a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a superior sect, she carries two spiritual artifacts with her. This trip has definitely been profitable. No matter what tricks She Cai is planning, let the Seven True Ones next door handle it... For now, the Six True Ones will take care of it. I'm off!"
Li Jieqing immediately unleashed the Blood Escape Flying Form Blood Heart Disintegration combo, his figure rising instantly.
Right behind him, a crimson pillar of light rose from the deep-sea altar, dispersing the seawater above and shooting straight into the sky.
……
"Strange, this thing seems more like some kind of guiding light?"
Li Jieqing hurried as fast as he could, and finally managed to avoid being touched by anything that rose from the altar, and his body reappeared on the sea surface.
Gazing at the imposing pillar of light piercing the sky, a hint of doubt flashed in Li Jieqing's eyes.
He had seen the Starry Sky Guiding Light of the Ruyi Sect and had even used it to cultivate Heavenly Star Grass. He had done some research on it, and now he realized that this blood-red pillar of light was very similar to that Starry Sky Guiding Light.
The altar in the sea opened, but instead of what Fairy Shecai was planning, a magnificent beam of blood-red light appeared, as if to send a message, lest the surrounding area not know.
"Strange... what exactly is it about the Blood Heart Sect ruins that Shecai has her eye on?"
Li Jieqing now understood Bao Cheng Zhenren's greed quite well. Just looking at the imposing blood-red pillar of light before him, he couldn't help but want to run back and capture She Cai Xianzi to interrogate her thoroughly.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Jieqing suppressed his greed, took out the Dayan Chessboard, and asked Huang Chong'er to carry it away.
Arriving at the Blood Heart Sect ruins finally yielded some gains. We will proceed westward as planned, carefully crossing the sea to find another spiritual place for cultivation.
The path ahead of that crimson pillar of light on the altar was unclear, and with such a commotion, it was bound to attract the attention of the Du Suo Canghai monster and the Seven True Ones. They could no longer risk getting involved.
Walking with the crimson pillar of light behind him, and taking advantage of the cover of the Great Evolution Chessboard, Li Jieqing hurriedly recovered his mana while also impatiently taking out the power transfer stone tablet, pressing it on Huang Chong'er's head, and probing it with his divine sense.
"The foundation-building method of the 'Blood Heart Freedom Secret Record'... is indeed here."
A look of joy appeared on Li Jieqing's face as he carefully perused the subsequent cultivation techniques.
Cultivating at the Foundation Establishment stage serves two purposes: firstly, it accumulates magical power, filling the dantian and nourishing the divine consciousness; the more magical power and divine consciousness one possesses, the more malevolent energy one can bear.
This is a skill that Li Jieqing has honed over many years and is quite familiar with.
Secondly, it is precisely to absorb the malevolent energy of heaven and earth into oneself and refine it entirely for one's own use.
Only by condensing a stream of malevolent energy can one truly become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
By condensing two streams of malevolent energy, one can break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
By condensing the three streams of malevolent energy, one can break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Only by absorbing the four evil energies can one reach the perfect foundation building stage.
Li Jieqing memorized the Foundation Establishment Cultivation Manual, but it wasn't enough, so he took out a blank jade slip and engraved it on it before looking down at the bottom of the Transmission Stone Tablet.
The Blood Heart Sect was once a major sect in the East Sea, and its practitioners possessed a considerable number of powerful and malevolent abilities compatible with the Blood Heart Freedom Secret Record.
—By combining one element of Corpse Fiend and one element of Form Fiend, one can cultivate a unique technique called "Illuminating the Body to Transform into a Netherworld Corpse," passed down by the late True Lord Illuminating the Body, a highly sought-after skill within the Blood Heart Sect. This method allows the cultivator to transform into a Netherworld Corpse, enabling them to traverse the Netherworld, become immune to physical damage, and withstand the attacks of many enemy sects' flying swords.
Moreover, those who cultivate this method of illuminating the spirit and transforming into a corpse can preserve their soul even when their lifespan is exhausted in a single day. They can then control their life with their nature and transform into a corpse to live another life.
