Chapter 51 Heading to the Sea of Blood
He immediately sat cross-legged in the void where the original immortal island was located, with his five palms facing the sky, and began to circulate the "Kun Yuan True Scripture" to replenish his depleted mana like a whale absorbing water.
Although the abundant innate spiritual energy of the Three Immortal Islands has been absorbed, the pure chaotic energy remaining here due to the long existence of the islands, as well as the water elemental energy permeating the depths of the East Sea, are still very beneficial to the recovery of his cultivation at this level.
His acupoints opened up all over his body, as if transforming into countless vortexes, greedily absorbing the surrounding energy to replenish his nearly dried-up ocean of magical power.
Several hours later, Zhen Yuanzi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly. Although he was not at his peak, his magical power had recovered to more than 70%.
He stood up, feeling the renewed strength within his body and the stable presence of the Three Immortal Islands in the Book of Earth, and his heart was filled with peace.
It's time to deal with those "little guys".
With another thought, he flicked his sleeve and unleashed his signature move—"Universe in the Sleeve".
A flash of light appeared on his sleeve, and the rare creatures he had casually collected in his sleeve during his travels through famous mountains, rivers, and perilous secret realms in the prehistoric world were released, transforming into streams of light of different colors and auras, which floated in front of him.
Among them are the Jade Li, a strange insect whose entire body is like jade and can inhale and exhale poisonous miasma to feed the spiritual fungi; the Snow Soul Wood, whose branches are like ice crystals and can gather the moonlight and yin energy; and the Illusionary Light Butterfly, whose wings are colorful and can weave a mesmerizing illusion.
The "Mountain Moving Ape" is incredibly strong, adept at manipulating soil and rocks, and highly intelligent... There are thousands of different kinds, all of which are rare and exotic species from the primordial era. They are rarely seen in the outside world and have been rescued or attracted by him for various reasons, and are temporarily residing in his sleeve space.
Zhen Yuanzi's consciousness sank into the Earth Book, drawing upon its vast power of the Earth's laws.
As a carrier of the primordial earth's veins, the Earth Book's internal space is not a lifeless void, but can evolve and simulate various primordial environments that are almost realistic, according to the will of its master.
With his thoughts like knives and his magic like a pen, he began to meticulously divide, modify, and shape the area surrounding the illusory Three Immortal Islands.
As for Yu Li, he transformed a swamp teeming with poisonous miasma yet teeming with life and teeming with spiritual fungi from a patch of primordial yellow energy;
As for the Snow Soul Tree, he erected a majestic snow mountain with a chilling atmosphere and year-round snow cover, and invoked the rules of the Earth Book to draw on the power of the Taiyin Star from the outside world, simulating the moonlight falling.
For the Illusionary Light Butterflies, he created a deep and tranquil strange forest where glowing moonlight moss grows, with hazy light, suitable for them to live in and use their magical powers;
As for the group of mountain-moving apes, he arranged a continuous mountain range with jagged rocks, intertwined vines, and various spiritual fruits and trees growing luxuriantly, for them to climb, play, and cultivate their strength...
Based on the primitive habits, survival needs, and even the subtle principles inherent in each living creature, he used the supreme power of the Earth Book, combined with his profound understanding of the growth of all things and the nourishment of the earth, to create the most suitable, or even better, environment for each of them than their original habitat.
Although these environments were created by the power of the Earth Book, due to their reliance on the origin of the Earth Book and Zhen Yuanzi's own authority over the earth, their realism and abundance of spiritual energy surpass even the real world outside, and they are more stable and safer, unaffected by external calamities.
These rare creatures, who might have perished in future calamities or racial conflicts, have found a new home in the world of the Earth Book.
They began to explore with curiosity, and then adapted, reproduced and settled with vitality. Even Zhen Yuanzi's calm and unwavering Dao heart couldn't help but stir, feeling a sense of peace and satisfaction in fulfilling his duty as "guardian of the earth".
This act not only fulfilled the cause and effect of his encounter with these beings, but also preserved a portion of the primordial energy and diversity of the world, making his Earth Book world even more colorful, and the vitality and creation contained within it even more perfect and active.
This world is evolving into a real, miniature, and "idealized" primordial world.
Having dealt with the matter of settling the dead, Zhen Yuanzi returned to his own mind.
He paced through the void, his divine sense introspecting, taking stock of the treasures he possessed: the Earth Book (Classic of Mountains and Seas), unparalleled in defense, controlling the earth's veins, containing the universe within, with endless wonders; the Central Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, impervious to all laws, stabilizing the center, ruling over the Wu Earth, a supreme protective treasure; the Pure World White Lotus, purifying all things, protecting the primordial spirit, and warding off all evil.
And that innate bitter bamboo contains profound and mysterious purification and transformation, which can stabilize one's Dao heart and resist external demons.
Each one is a top-tier innate spiritual treasure in the world, each with its own mysteries, and each emphasizing defense, support, control, and purification.
However, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. His offensive power, in comparison, seemed somewhat lacking.
Although the Earth Book can mobilize the power of the boundless earth veins for suppression and is incomparably heavy, it lacks flexibility and its main function is to "confine" and "defend".
The apricot-yellow flag can also use its immense weight and the divine light of the Earth element to strike and defeat enemies, but it is ultimately not a weapon specifically designed for killing.
While the purifying divine light of the Pure World White Lotus is remarkably effective against evil spirits and can also injure the enemy's primordial spirit, it is somewhat lacking in its ability to break through and overcome opponents of the same level, especially those who possess powerful defensive treasures.
If faced with an opponent of the same level who specializes in killing and wields fierce treasures such as the God-Slaying Spear or the Immortal-Slaying Sword, such as the Demon Ancestor Rahu, one would inevitably fall short in pure offensive methods, lacking the decisive and ruthless means to annihilate a powerful enemy in an instant.
He couldn't help but recall those vague fragments of memory from later generations.
In the primordial world, if we talk about the ferocity of killing and the intensity of evil, the four swords of Zhuxian in the hands of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou are the foremost. Combined with the Zhuxian Formation Diagram, they cannot be broken unless the four saints gather together.
However, this treasure is now certainly in Rahu's hands. Rahu's cultivation is extraordinary, and his ferocity is unparalleled. It is definitely not something he can covet at present.
In addition, there is another famous, innate, supreme treasure of the killing path—the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords!
These two swords were conceived in the most yin and turbid place in the primordial world—the Netherworld Blood Sea. They were born from the innate killing energy and endless resentment and malevolence of heaven and earth since the beginning of time, mixed with the filthy blood energy of the Blood Sea's origin, and were formed over countless years.
They are born untouched by cause and effect, killing without incurring karmic retribution. Incomparably sharp, they specifically target the primordial spirit and Dao foundation, possessing extraordinary ferocity; truly, they are first-rate weapons of destruction. Their destined master is the great power born from the sea of blood—the Styx Ancestor.
"Yuan Tu, A Bi..." Zhen Yuanzi silently recited these two names, which contained endless killing intent, a sharp, sword-like light flashing in his eyes.
"But I wonder if the River Styx has already been reborn? And if the Sea of Blood has become his sacred ground?"
The Netherworld Blood Sea is located in the deepest and darkest part of the primordial continent, beneath the Nine Netherworlds. Legend has it that it was formed from a mass of filthy blood within the body of the great god Pangu after he created the world. It gathers all the filth, malevolence, and resentment of remnant souls in the world, making it a perilous and dangerous place that ordinary immortals and gods would avoid at all costs, as touching it would lead to certain death.
However, the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords that are contained within are indeed the top-tier killing treasures that he can currently think of that are most likely to be obtained (or at least have the opportunity to come into contact with and plan).
Even though the Styx River has emerged and occupied the Blood Sea, establishing its dojo with its companion spirit treasure Yuan Tu A Bi and the eerie supernatural power known as "As long as the Blood Sea does not dry up, the Styx River will not die," Zhen Yuanzi is confident that with his current quasi-saint level cultivation, his profound foundation, and several top-tier spirit treasures such as the Earth Book, the Apricot Yellow Flag, and the Pure World White Lotus, he is more than capable of dealing with it and protecting himself.
If it can be obtained through barter, or by other means of exchange or planning, that would be the best outcome.
If things are beyond our control, it wouldn't hurt to personally witness the infamous perilous places and powerful beings of the primordial world, to verify our own Dao, and to explore the secrets of the Netherworld.
After all, Zhen Yuanzi, who controls the earth's veins, has a subtle sense and curiosity about the Netherworld Blood Sea located beneath the earth.
Having made up his mind, Zhen Yuanzi no longer hesitated.
He finally used his divine sense to scan the peaceful, serene, and vibrant Three Immortal Islands and their myriad creatures in the Book of Earth, confirming that everything was alright.
Then, with a flicker, it concealed all its aura and brilliance, transforming into an extremely inconspicuous earthen-yellow stream of light, and silently left the East Sea region, which was exceptionally desolate due to the disappearance of the immortal island and where only chaotic currents still surged.
He discerned the direction, and the Daoist aura around him subtly merged with the veins of the primordial earth beneath his feet. He unleashed the great divine power of shrinking the earth to an inch, and with one step, mountains and rivers reversed and time and space changed, as he sped toward the depths of the primordial continent's foundation, to the Nine Netherworlds.
His goal was clear and unwavering—the Netherworld Blood Sea!
