Chapter 1288: Chaotic Veins

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The Immortal Vampires started killing so much to take the blood. Their cultivations could only improve quickly by drinking enough blood.
Amongst all blood, human blood was the most attractive. It didn’t need to be refined. They could absorb it directly and transform it into cultivation and strength. Drinking the blood of savage beasts was also beneficial, but they had to spend a lot of time to refine it. It was relatively more troublesome.
If they could drink human Saint blood every day, an Immortal Vampire’s cultivation speed would make a human pride feel despair.
Every time the Immortal Vampires conquered land in the north, they would gather all the human corpses. They’d extract the blood and form a blood pool.
Only the Immortal Vampires that had killed the most enemies in battle qualified to cultivate by the blood pool and improve themselves.
The blood pool at the bottom of the ravine wasn’t large or small. It was medium sized. The Immortal Vampires gathered there were practically all Half-Saints. There were 67 people.
“They killed so many humans. They must die.” Looking at the withered human corpses in the ravine, Huang Yanchen’s eyes shone with cold light. She took out her saintly sword, wanting to rush over and kill the Immortal Half-Saints by the blood pool.
“Don’t be so brash.” Zhang Ruochen stopped Huang Yanchen and said, “We’ve just arrived in the north and aren’t clear about the situation yet. We can’t act impulsively. If we kill them, we’ll attract the Immortal Vampires’ attention. It’s not beneficial to us.”
“Are we going to just let them go?” Huang Yanchen said, voice low.
“We can find out our specific location and the battle situation of the north first. Then we can kill them.”
Zhang Ruochen had no positive feelings toward the Immortal Vampires either. The fury in his heart was even more violent. However, he was calmer than Huang Yanchen. He knew what he should and shouldn’t do.
“Princess,” Qing Mo whispered. “We came to the north to search for the Pill Saint in Xianji Ravine and heal Lord Zhang. That’s the most important thing.”
Hearing this, Huang Yanchen finally calmed down.
There were dozens of Immortal Half-Saints in this ravine. It looked dangerous, but it was actually safer. No one would guess that there were humans hiding here.
Huang Yanchen left the ravine alone to search for information. Qing Mo remained to protect Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo created a cave inside all the mummified corpses for a temporary hiding spot. Qing Mo guarded the entrance while Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged. He took out the two saintly medicines that Ao Yi had gifted him—the Intermittent Gold Lotus and Silverthread Saint Ivy.
“These are all treasures for healing the meridians and Saintly Meridians. I’ll give it a try.”
Zhang Ruochen naturally wasn’t willing to be a disabled man. He wanted to reconnect his meridians and go back onto the path of cultivation. Thus, he took a leaf from the Intermittent Gold Lotus. Putting it in his mouth, he started absorbing the medicinal power in it.
As the medicine seeped into his body, his body produced some vitality, but nothing about his meridians changed. If he couldn’t connect the meridians, it was useless no matter how much vitality his physical body produced. It would be lost.
He sighed. Not wanting to waste the saintly medicine, he stopped taking it. He put the Intermittent Gold Lotus and Silverthread Saint Ivy back.
Right now, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t cultivate his physical body and Martial Way anymore, but he could still cultivate Spiritual Power. As long as he could make himself strong, it was an option.
Just as Zhang Ruochen prepared to cultivate Spiritual Power, he happened to realize that his body was different from before.
The formless blood vessels he created with Spiritual Power actually had a layer of five-colored light. It was filled with indescribable spirituality.
“It’s…Chaotic Qi…”
Five-colored Chaotic Qi kept leaking out of the crack in the Universe Spiritual Map. It flooded into Zhang Ruochen’s ratty body, seeping into his flesh and bones.
Chaotic Qi was only formed at the creation of a world. It was filled with endless vitality and could create everything in the world. Many ancient creatures were born in this turbidity.
Now, Zhang Ruochen’s meridians were all broken. The meridians in his body had all disappeared and it was a bit similar to a new world. There were no rules or networks. Everything was chaos.
This kind of environment seemed dead, but it was actually filled with endless vitality and variables.
“Chaotic Qi can actually form vessels. This is incredible.”
It was like Zhang Ruochen saw a lantern in the darkness. He was ecstatic.
The vessels formed by Chaotic Qi followed the guidance of Zhang Ruochen’s Spiritual Power. They weren’t stable; they were only threads of Qi. It wouldn’t be easy to turn them into real blood vessels.
Perhaps only a Pill Saint was able to turn a Qi network into true blood vessels.
Zhang Ruochen wanted to find the Crazy Alcoholic’s Pill Saint even more now. If he could reconstruct the meridians with the help of the Chaotic Qi, he could get something good out of this disaster. Going from an artificial creature to a natural creature, his potential and body would both improve.
Of course, this was only an optimistic idea.
After all, even a Pill Saint might not be able to reconstruct a disabled man’s meridians.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current Spiritual Power, he could only construct ten or 20% of a blood vessel network. If he wanted to construct the entire network, he needed stronger Spiritual Power.”
With my current condition, I can only cultivate Spiritual Power before reforming my meridians.
He could only strengthen his Spiritual Power by observing and comprehending. Of course, this was only the most traditional method. Improvement was relatively slow.
Zhang Ruochen had a large amount of resources to quickly improve his Spiritual Power. He didn’t need to use traditional methods.
For example, the Blue Dragon Divine Dew on the Seven Star Sacred Tuber was a great treasure for improving Spiritual Power.
He could also absorb other Saints’ memories and knowledge from the saintly sources he had. This could also increase his speed of improvement.
In the end, he chose the more conservative method. He strengthened his Spiritual Power by absorbing the Blue Dragon Divine Dew.
While he was cultivating Spiritual Power, some important things were also happening outside.
…
The battle at Yin Yang Sea quickly spread throughout Kunlun’s Field. Both the large human forces and creatures of other races were shocked.
The Dragon Sun Moon Mix, one of the top ten divine weapons, had actually appeared. The aura that it radiated made all the saintly weapons with weapon spirits tremble.
A divine weapon was like a god in the weapon world.
Everyone in the world discussed the Dragon Sun Moon Mix that day.
“A divine dragon awoke in the Yin Yang Sea. Holding the Dragon Sun Moon Mix, he suppressed the Winged Dragon King and injured the Thunder Heavenly King and Kill All King. He was horribly strong.”
“Since he’s so powerful, why doesn’t he walk out of Yin Yang Sea and rule the world?”
“That strong figure in the Yin Yang Sea probably isn’t a divine dragon. If a divine dragon awoke, how could the Thunder Heavenly King and Kill All King escape?”
Some people were doubtful. They felt that the strong cultivator in the Yin Yang Sea wasn’t that strong. At least, he hadn’t reached the peak yet.
He was probably afraid of the figures at the true peak of Kunlun’s Field, such as Emperor Bi of Ancient Dragon Mountain, Qitian Blood Emperor of the Immortal Vampires, Nine Life Heavenly Emperor of Nine Li Palace and more…
Since a divine weapon had appeared, the emperors and kings standing at the top of Kunlun’s Field would definitely be tempted.
That strong cultivator in the Yin Yang Sea wasn’t strong enough to fight Emperor Bi, Qitian Blood Emperor, and Nine Life Heavenly Emperor. He was worried he couldn’t keep the Dragon Sun Moon Mix, so he didn’t leave the Yin Yang Sea.
Of course, some cultivators also believed that the figure in the Yin Yang Sea was a divine dragon. However, he’d been sealed in ice for too long and hadn’t recovered his cultivation yet. This was why he chose to hide.
When his cultivation recovered fully, probably no one in Kunlun’s Field could counter him.
The next day, news came from the Savage Barren Territory that another battle had erupted in the Yin Yang Sea. It seemed that an emperor-like figure had broken in to take the Dragon Sun Moon Mix.
The battle lasted for half a day. The water of the Yin Yang Sea surged violently, flooding thousands of miles of glaciers along the coast.
In the end, the seemingly emperor-like figure retreated with injuries. He escaped from the Yin Yang Sea. His large body disappeared in the savage barrenness.
No creature could stay calm with the appearance of a divine weapon.
Five days passed. Eight creatures with extremely strong auras broke into the Yin Yang Sea, but all returned with injuries.
“He has the geographical advantage and also has the Dragon Sun Moon Mix. No one in the Yin Yang Sea could be his match.” This saying spread throughout the Immortal Vampires. Apparently, Qitian Blood Emperor had said this personally.
Not long ago, Qitian Blood Emperor and the Blood Emperor of another tribe had entered the Yin Yang Sea together. They’d fought with the newly-awoken strong figure for an entire day. In the end, the two Blood Emperors escaped with heavy injuries.
Another Saint of the Immortal Vampires also revealed that, even with Qitian Blood Emperor’s cultivation, he still couldn’t see the cultivator’s identity. He wasn’t sure if it was a Divine Dragon.
The appearance of the divine weapon touched the nerves of the top figures of Kunlun’s Field. At the same time, news of Zhang Ruochen being disabled by King Zhongying also created a huge uproar among the younger humans.
“Didn’t Zhang Ruochen die while going through the Pre-Saint Trial? How did he get disabled by King Zhongying in the Yin Yang Sea?” Many cultivators were confused.
“What kind of figure is Zhang Ruochen? How could he die in a Pre-Saint Trial? That was just a method for escaping. In reality, he’d gone into the Yin Yang Sea and killed a large group of Immortal Vampire Saints. In the end, he angered King Zhongying, thus coming to this kind of disaster.”
“Shameless. King Zhongying is a domineering figure who’d lived for more than 1,000 years. How could he attack a junior?”
Zhang Ruochen was very famous among the young humans. Many cultivators treated him like an idol. They wanted to quickly grow up and shed blood everywhere like him, making the young savage beasts and Immortal Vampires tremble when hearing their names.
Learning that Zhang Ruochen had been disabled, many people felt pity and regret. Many girls who looked up to him wiped at their tears. The number one figure of the young human Saints had still fallen in the end. There would never be another emperor who could protect the human race.
