Chapter 225 Blood God Whale's Heart, The Path of Life and Death
Yu Qingtan stepped forward and pulled out the tattered Nascent Soul of the blue-robed elder, the size of a palm and slightly humanoid with a penetrating wound from top to bottom.
As a result, the broken Nascent Soul also turned into a burst of red light and shot into Yu Qingtan's body.
The blue-robed elder was also a Blood Marionette.
Yu Qingtan immediately tossed a Spirit Spring Green Lotus Seed to Fang Ling, took a look at the huge heart nearby, and seeing that there was no movement, Yu Qingtan closed her eyes and began to comprehend.
...
After half a day, Yu Qingtan opened her eyes.
The understanding of her Path of Blood realm had also reached the pinnacle of the Third Level, and it began to merge with the Five Elements Dao Domain.
Not only had she mastered all the Third Stage Blood Dao spells perfectly, but she had also learned a Dao Technique.
A Fourth Stage Dao Technique, Bleeding Thousand Miles.
As the name suggests, by using ten drops of essence blood, one could escape a thousand miles away in a single breath, similar to the effect of a Third Stage Escape Talisman.
The escape speed of an ordinary Late Stage of the Golden Core cultivator was around two thousand five hundred miles per quarter hour.
Yu Qingtan, when employing Five Elements Qiankun Escape, approached the speed of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, which was around ten thousand miles per quarter hour.
"Qingtan, how are you?" Fang Ling's voice rang out, still somewhat weak.
Yu Qingtan looked over and saw Fang Ling floating in the air not far away, with Zhen Dexiu, who had passed out, beside him.
"I'm fine!"
Yu Qingtan said and emitted two beams of green light, shining on Fang Ling and Zhen Dexiu respectively.
"You're saving this person too?" Yu Qingtan asked curiously, if it hadn't been for Fang Ling saving Zhen Dexiu, Yu Qingtan wouldn't have bothered to heal him with the rejuvenating technique.
"He might still be of some use, depending on whether he wants to live or not."
About fifteen minutes later, Zhen Dexiu slowly woke up.
"Good brother, good sister, Xiu is grateful for your life-saving grace."
Zhen Dexiu struggled to stand up and bow.
"Speak properly!" Fang Ling couldn't help but hold his forehead and said.
"I've always talked like this, eh!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Hmph, I didn't save you for nothing. Release your Sea of Consciousness so I can plant a Soul Constraint in you, serve me for a hundred years, or else, just stay here!" Fang Ling said coldly.
"Brother, you're so cruel. Without the Soul Constraint, sister will belong to you!" Zhen Dexiu said tearfully, clearly reluctant in her heart, but now that her cultivation was sealed, she was like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Fang Ling didn't speak, pressing the blood-colored mace against Zhen Dexiu's forehead.
"Sister agrees, alright!" Zhen Dexiu helplessly complied and let Fang Ling plant the Soul Constraint in her and then recounted her previous experiences before being temporarily taken into the Dao space within the ancient Taoist long staff.
Yu Qingtan watched the whole process without saying anything.
Afterward, the two divided the spoils of war obtained from the Nascent Soul blue-robed elder.
The Dao Fishing Rod went to Yu Qingtan, and the Copy Net and the Storage Ring went to Fang Ling, though there was almost nothing in the Storage Ring.
Dao Instruments could not be placed in a Storage Ring or System Space, but they could be made extremely small and kept in the Dantian for nurturing.
Perhaps because the blue-robed elder was a Blood Marionette, the Soul Marking Seals on the two instruments were weak and were easily purified by Yu Qingtan using a Purification Spell, and then the two claimed them for their own use.
Yu Qingtan and Fang Ling looked at the huge, seemingly harmless heart.
When Fang Ling cut the blood vessel that was drawing blood from Zhen Dexiu earlier, nothing unexpected happened, the severed blood vessel quickly dissipated, and the heart showed no reaction.
According to Zhen Dexiu, after arriving here, she encountered attacks from the fishing line and, despite using a Nascent Soul Charm Treasure during the battle, she was defeated and eventually pierced in the throat by the Bloodied Straight Hook.
He found not only could he not channel his spiritual power, but he also seemed to have lost all his strength, like a fish caught on a line, jerked toward the massive heart, where the blood vessels that grew from the heart slowly sapped his blood.
While Yu Qingtan and his companion were contemplating their next move, another figure descended from above.
The two of them immediately became alert.
However, this time, no attack came.
The newcomer, dressed in black robes, bore no aura, but the seawater parted around him.
"Congratulations to the two of you. Your last competitor has fallen on the way here, and you have made it to this place.
I am The Guide, and the Blood God Order lies in the heart of the Blood God Whale, right at the center. There are two paths that lead to the heart's core, one safe and unobstructed, the other deadly and treacherous. Each of you has only one chance to choose, of course, you also have the right to give up.
Do not attempt to attack the heart of the Blood God Whale, for it possesses the might of the Fifth Stage. I wish you good luck!"
The man in the black robe was an ordinary-looking middle-aged uncle. As he spoke, two cracks appeared on the surface of the heart of the Blood God Whale and slowly opened, forming two entrances, evidently the two paths the man in black had mentioned.
After speaking, without giving Yu Qingtan and the others a chance to ask questions, the man in black returned the way he came, heading toward the surface of the sea.
"As expected, Rule Seven 'Your destination is on Blood God Island' was also false," said Yu Qingtan.
The man in black didn't attack them, and naturally, they wouldn't go out of their way to provoke him, suspecting he might be another Nascent Soul cultivator.
"It's also possible that Rule Two 'The one in the black robe is the guide for this selection, you can ask him questions' is false, and the man in the black robe is deceiving us," Fang Ling said.
"But right now, we can only believe what this black-robed guide has told us is true. Besides, I can go and scout ahead while you wait here!" Yu Qingtan laughed. A dead-end for others might not necessarily be so for her.
With that, she took out her Dao Fishing Rod, handed it to Fang Ling, and then activated the Five Elements Qiankun Escape, charging directly into one of the openings. Find adventures at empire
She had left a Soul Marking Seal inside the Dao Space of the fishing rod, with both True Person Shuangsu and True Person Xiuyu placed inside.
Considering how Yu Qingtan had "died" and then revived after being attacked by the Nascent Soul Charm Treasure Golden Needle Blood Technique, Fang Ling guessed she had some method of cheating death and did not stop her.
After Yu Qingtan entered the opening, she found herself in what seemed like a vast blood vessel-formed cave, with the walls emitting a chilling aura of the Fifth Stage.
With both her Divine Sense and spiritual power suppressed, Yu Qingtan had no choice but to walk forward.
She walked for about a quarter of an hour, with little change in the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, a fluctuation came from ahead, and Yu Qingtan felt the ground shake under her feet, followed by her body starting to disintegrate.
Fang Ling's vision blurred for a moment, and Yu Qingtan reappeared in front of him, putting his mind at ease.
"Damn it, I have no idea how I disappeared; everything happened so fast, so suddenly!"
Thinking this over, Yu Qingtan said to Fang Ling, "This path leads to death; I'll try the other one!"
After speaking, she used the Five Elements Qiankun Escape to get to the other opening but failed to step through, as if an invisible wall blocked her way.
"It seems it remembers you went in before. Indeed, each person only gets one chance to choose. I'll go!"
Fang Ling came to the opening and said to Yu Qingtan.
"But what if the man in the black robe was lying to us!"
Yu Qingtan frowned, expressing her concern.
"In the Cultivation World, there's always a time for taking risks. Now, there's likely a great opportunity ahead; how can I back down! And even if I fall, Qingtan, you will remember me, won't you?"
Fang Ling said calmly, handing the Dao Fishing Rod and the Copy Net to Yu Qingtan before striding into the other opening.
Jia Siwen and Zhen Dexiu, he had placed in the Dao Space of the Copy Net.
Yu Qingtan felt helpless; Fang Ling was right—on the path of cultivation, there are no easy journeys.
Not everyone had her strong life-saving capabilities, but if she shrank back now, how could she travel far on the Dao?
All she could do now was to pray for him.
