71: Chapter 71 Sacrifice of Life, Innate Divine Blood

Although Hun Tiandi had decided to go into seclusion to cultivate, he still needed to make some preparations.

Having just arrived in this mysterious environment, he prepared to thoroughly explore his surroundings to avoid any mishaps during his seclusion.

He wandered around, exploring cautiously, gazing at the mountains that appeared before him.

Releasing his soul perception to avoid the ferocious beasts emitting powerful auras, Hun Tiandi did not engage them in combat.

Before him was a canyon, as if it had been split in two by a terrifying weapon; within the canyon, a group of ferocious beasts could be seen lying prone, deep in slumber.

The ferocious beasts before him were covered in scales, and one look was enough to know their defensive capabilities were astonishing.

A hint of gravity appeared in Hun Tiandi's eyes. He could sense that hidden within this ancient mountain range were strands of terrifying auras, auras that made even Hun Tiandi feel a life-threatening danger.

"These ferocious beasts are isolated from the outside world, having lived from ancient times until now; their strength is naturally powerful and terrifying!"

Hun Tiandi murmured. Because their baleful auras clouded their minds, their intelligence grew slowly, leading to extremely irritable temperaments.

But one must never underestimate the power of these ferocious beasts; as the saying goes, where wisdom is lacking, strength makes up for it.

Over three days of exploration, Hun Tiandi had only traversed a small area. This land of the Nether Sea was vast, and it was absolutely impossible to figure it out completely.

The ferocious beasts here were countless and their strength was incomparably formidable.

If he were to wander around recklessly, he would likely face more misfortune than good.

However, Hun Tiandi made an astonishing discovery: the quantity and quality of the medicinal herbs were naturally higher than those in the outside world, due to the rich energy and the fact that no one had harvested them.

He harvested some medicinal herbs and placed them into his storage ring.

"Awoo..."

Suddenly, Hun Tiandi encountered a tiger-shaped ferocious beast with scarlet beast eyes, a massive physique, and jet-black skin.

It let out a long, violent beast roar that echoed incessantly across the sky.

Hun Tiandi flipped his palm to grip a black banner, which emitted faint black qi. He circulated the Dou Qi within his body, formed hand seals, and released the first main soul.

Azure Sea Profound Dragon Beast!

"Roar!"

"Presumptuous!"

It roared towards the sky at Hun Tiandi, its beast eyes containing a look of resentment. With a thought, he activated the Blood Spirit Seal to burn its beast soul, causing it to scream and wail in pain.

Hun Tiandi did not extinguish its beast soul; his goal was to make it obey his commands.

The main reason was that the time spent refining the ten thousand soul banner was too short. Once the Blood Spirit Seal was fused more deeply, there would be no backlash.

Driven by the ten thousand soul banner, it roared at the tiger-shaped ferocious beast, exuding a powerful aura.

It was shaped like a Qilin, with a dragon's mouth, lion's head, fish scales, ox tail, tiger claws, and deer antlers. Its body was crimson red, and it could ride the clouds and mist, moving across the surface of the water.

The beast soul of the Azure Sea Profound Dragon Beast struck fiercely, its massive claws swiping down, and the violent tiger-shaped ferocious beast before it was instantly torn to shreds.

Blood splattered everywhere, and suddenly, a tiger-shaped beast soul emerged from its shattered body.

The surface of the banner swayed, erupting with a devouring force that dragged the beast soul into the ten thousand soul banner.

A ferocious tiger face immediately appeared on the surface of the banner.

Previously, in order to escape, he had been forced to release the low-level beast souls from the ten thousand soul banner to intercept the experts from the Starfall Pavilion, but the effect was minimal.

With a single palm strike, the low-level beast souls were destroyed. Hun Tiandi had not released the beast soul of the Azure Sea Profound Dragon Beast at that time.

In the future, he would absolutely not let off any faction that hunted him down.

Hun Tiandi immediately put away the ten thousand soul banner, looked at the dim sky, and prepared to leave.

"First, I must find a safe place to go into seclusion and cultivate!" Hun Tiandi said in a low voice.

He headed towards a distant mountain peak. From time to time, earth-shaking wolf howls and bear roars rang out; these roaring ferocious beasts seemed to be declaring their territory to everyone.

This region already had an owner.

Silver light flashed beneath his feet as he skimmed past towering trees and dense forests, speeding towards the mountaintop.

Out of caution, Hun Tiandi used his perception to scan the surroundings several times. Determining that there were no ferocious beasts on this mountain peak, he quickly found a satisfactory location.

This natural cave was located in the middle of the mountain; the steep rock wall was vertical, with no footholds for climbing.

However, for Hun Tiandi, who possessed the ten thousand soul banner, this was simply not a problem.

Led by the beast soul of the Azure Sea Profound Dragon Beast, he easily reached the cave entrance.

He released his soul perception to ensure no flying ferocious beasts had occupied it. After discovering no beasts living there,

Hun Tiandi walked in with peace of mind.

The area was vast, enough for Hun Tiandi to use for his seclusion. In the dim cave, he took out several moonstones and shot them onto the stone wall, causing them to emit a glowing light.

The dim cave instantly became bright.

He released his soul perception, probing inch by inch, not letting any place go unchecked.

"Eh, what a strong energy fluctuation!"

Suddenly, Hun Tiandi looked up sharply, sensing the energy fluctuations emitted by a heavenly treasure, and walked in the direction of his perception.

As he moved forward, there were strange-shaped stalactites on the rock walls that kept seeping water, and they were even covered in unknown vegetation.

The deeper he went, the more the temperature suddenly dropped, with cold air invading his internal organs.

With a thought, the Yellow Spirit Fire surged from his Qi vortex, flowing throughout his body to dispel the chill, and the energy fluctuations grew stronger.

He did not know how long had passed.

"Drip..."

Before his eyes, drops of stone milk kept dripping down from the stone pillars hanging upside down on the cave ceiling. Looking at the inverted stone pillars, Hun Tiandi did not lower his guard.

Who knew if there was any danger?

These were just ordinary stone milk, which had little effect on cultivation.

If it were thousand-year or ten-thousand-year, that would be a different story.

The formation of ten-thousand-year stone milk required the passage of time; the stone milk found was too little, and even if it was found, it was less than a thousand years old.

"ten-thousand-year stone milk..."

"It smells so good!" Suddenly, Hun Tiandi showed a trace of excitement, having caught a rich fragrance that made him feel refreshed and invigorated upon smelling it.

"ten-thousand-year stone milk!" Hun Tiandi felt joy in his heart; in this cave on the mountainside, there was actually a heavenly treasure, ten-thousand-year stone milk!

Consuming ten-thousand-year stone milk could enhance one's cultivation.

"Drip..."

Drops of stone milk kept dripping from the inverted stones, and the falling stone milk all gathered in a small pool, creating ripples.

An even stronger, rich fragrance drifted into Hun Tiandi's nose.

After approaching the small pool, faint yellow rays of light kept flowing...

"Hahaha!"

He laughed in his heart. So much ten-thousand-year stone milk would at least allow him to advance to a high-level Dou Master, and there was even hope of breaking through the Dou Master realm to promote to a Great Dou Master...

This was the gap of a major realm; his strength could double, or even increase tenfold.

Taking a deep breath, the Dou Qi within his body circulated a bit faster. It was indeed a rare heavenly treasure.

Suddenly, Hun Tiandi's eyes narrowed slightly, and monstrous waves stirred in his heart.

Above the small pool, on the rock, there was a bowl-sized depression that had actually gathered a small bowl of stone milk. Judging by the color and fragrance,

it was stone milk over one hundred thousand years old!

Although ten-thousand-year stone milk was ranked among heavenly treasures, it was ranked very low; one drop could increase several years of cultivation.

However, stone milk over one hundred thousand years old was a top-grade heavenly treasure; one drop could increase at least several decades of cultivation.

It even had the effect of shedding one's mortal body and exchanging one's bones, and cleansing the meridians and marrow.

Cleansing meridians referred to the meridians, and marrow referred to the bone marrow. Cleansing meridians and marrow meant refining the meridians, expelling impurities, widening the meridian channels, making one's constitution stronger, and making the whole body extremely compatible.

Once one underwent the cleansing of meridians and marrow, the speed of cultivation would increase significantly.

Talent could also break through original bottlenecks; such benefits were what practitioners dreamed of achieving.

"Hahaha, this trip was not a loss. By chance, I entered this mysterious place and actually obtained such good fortune. This adventure was worth it."

Hun Tiandi said arrogantly.
