128: Arrival at the Blood Palace
The moment Teng Wuji was teleported out, the two elders in the pavilion both breathed a sigh of relief, especially the Elder of the Teng Family, whose brows were filled with relief.
With a flash of his figure, he appeared beside Teng Wuji.
He placed a palm on Teng Wuji's shoulder, and pure Law power instantly surged in, beginning to sort out his damaged Meridians and internal organs.
Teng Wuji also reluctantly suppressed his unwillingness, sat down cross-legged, and began to Cultivate to heal his injuries.
After all, he had injured his internal organs; if he didn't recuperate properly and promptly, every moment of delay would mean more trouble.
As Teng Wuji came out, the remaining eight Disciples in the tower all failed on the third floor. Five of them even perished on the spot without the chance to crush their jade tablets, while only three managed to crush their jade tablets in time, saving their lives.
Immediately after, the next batch of tower challengers entered the tower again, and Teng Wuji, with the help of the Elder of the Teng Family, stabilized his injuries.
A Blood Palace Disciple walked over and looked at Xue Hai and Teng Wuji: "Junior Brothers, you can wait on the airship in the back. In two hours, you can return to the Blood Palace with the airship."
Xue Hai nodded, but Teng Wuji remained silent, staring blankly at the Blood Fiend Tower, lost in thought.
It wasn't until Xue Hai stood up and walked to the back that he seemed to awaken from a dream.
He exchanged a glance with the Elder of the Teng Family.
The elder patted his shoulder and transmitted his voice: "Wuji, rest assured and go to the Blood Palace. The Family will make arrangements for you!"
Only then did Teng Wuji nod silently. He glanced at Xue Hai, who was already walking towards the back of the Blood Fiend Tower, and asked: "Third Grandfather, did this person pass the third floor before me just now?"
The elder nodded: "This person's strength is not weak, and he probably has some trump cards."
Teng Wuji did not speak, but a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Teng Wuji possessed the Giant Spirit Treasure Body, his innate strength far surpassed that of ordinary people, and the Law power he could store was ten times that of ordinary Cultivators.
Since he began Cultivating, he had never met an opponent among his peers. For a mere Loose Cultivator to pass the tower faster than him inevitably made him unhappy. He had already decided to find an opportunity to cause trouble for this person to vent the frustration of his failure on the fourth floor today.
However, being proud and arrogant, he did not intend to rely on his Family's power. Instead, he planned to enter the Blood Palace and then openly beat Xue Hai to vent his anger.
At this moment, Xue Hai had no idea that he had inexplicably been targeted by Teng Wuji. He had already arrived in front of an airship docked behind the tower.
After reporting his name, the Disciple at the airship's entrance verified it and allowed him to board.
This airship was not small; it contained hundreds of cabins, decorated in a simple and grand style, with the ancient Blood Palace emblem visible everywhere.
The Blood Palace emblem was an ancient divine script character for "Blood" in dark red.
The strokes were extremely complex, and at a glance, it vaguely held a profound rhythm that made Xue Hai's heart stir.
But it had clearly lost its essence; even with the Heaven-Observing Divine Eye, he couldn't discern anything meaningful.
On the airship, any cabins with open doors were unoccupied, and Disciples who passed the Blood Fiend Tower could choose freely.
Xue Hai casually picked a cabin. Upon entering, he found the cabin to be extremely simple, with only a meditation mat, a low table, a transparent crystal window on the wall that couldn't be opened, and a Formation Plate and a Jade Slip on the low table.
The Formation Plate was for controlling the cabin's Restriction, and the Jade Slip contained a brief introduction to the Abyssal Blood Palace's rules and some entry guidelines.
Xue Hai swept his Divine Sense over it and memorized everything.
As Law power was injected into the Formation Plate, the cabin door suddenly closed.
The ten fluorescent stones on the ceiling of the cabin instantly lit up, preventing it from being dim.
Then, Xue Hai directly threw the Taiyi Bright Scripture into the Cultivation Technique deduction system, directly commanding Number One to deduce it to high-grade profound rank. One thousand Attribute Points were deducted from his panel.
He then looked at the other Cultivation Techniques on the panel. The Cultivation Techniques originally created by Blood Ancestor were now completely unable to keep up with his Realm and all needed further deduction.
However, Xue Hai decided to wait until he reached the Blood Palace. After all, the Blood Palace was named after blood, and there must be many Blood Dao Legacies within it. If he could obtain their Cultivation Techniques, deducing his own Cultivation Techniques would surely be twice as effective.
However, Acquired pupil techniques were extremely rare, and Xue Hai did not believe that the Blood Palace would provide pupil techniques for ordinary Disciples to Cultivate. Therefore, the Taiyi Bright Scripture could be prioritized for deduction.
Everything had to wait until he reached the Blood Palace before he could act. Xue Hai began to close his eyes and recall the process of his previous battle with the Sword Cultivator who Cultivated Geng Metal Sword Intent.
And the structure of his Sword Intent.
The Heaven-Observing Divine Eye had already clearly analyzed the Geng Metal Sword Intent. If Xue Hai wanted to Cultivate it, it was only a matter of time. But Xue Hai preferred to reference the Geng Metal Sword Intent to perfect his Destruction Sword Intent.
Further Cultivation of the Geng Metal Sword Intent involved the Law of Metal, pursuing the purest and sharpest Sword Dao.
It emphasized "forging a sword soul with an undefiled heart, severing the Karma of the Mortal World to prove the Great Dao."
The Destruction Sword Intent, on the other hand, involved the Law of Annihilation, pursuing the Chaos power of complete termination.
The stronger and weaker were obvious at a glance. However, both Concept and Domain required his own comprehension. Only at the Law stage could he use the panel for evolution.
Therefore, Xue Hai could only comprehend it himself. However, as long as the Taiyi Bright Scripture was upgraded, comprehending either Concept or Domain would not be difficult for him.
The Heaven-Observing Divine Eye was already very powerful, but in the Middle Thousand Worlds, analyzing higher-level Heavenly Dao profoundness was somewhat slow.
Xue Hai felt that upgrading the Taiyi Bright Scripture would surely provide him with immense help.
However, everything required time.
At this moment, Xue Hai could only mentally cross-reference the successfully analyzed Geng Metal Sword Intent with his own Destruction Sword Intent to comprehend a deeper Destruction Sword Intent.
Two hours passed in a flash.
Afterward, no one else passed the third floor of the Blood Fiend Tower.
When Teng Wuji boarded the airship, he casually picked a cabin, which happened to be directly opposite Xue Hai's.
Then the airship ascended into the sky, flying towards the depths of the Endless Abyss.
The Abyssal Blood Palace had always been slowly flying within the Endless Abyss, and its location could only be known through special Magical Artifacts.
The airship flew for a full day before Xue Hai was awakened by a sound.
He looked out the window.
A massive floating archipelago was already visible in the distance.
Contrary to the imagined scene of dark, bloody, and molten rock.
The true floating archipelago where the Abyssal Blood Palace was located was surrounded by two gigantic treasure pearls, one Yin and one Yang, transforming into sun and moon. They rotated around the outer perimeter of the archipelago, providing light, heat, and moonlight to the entire Blood Palace Holy Land.
Layers of barriers enveloped the archipelago, making it appear extremely beautiful and splendid.
The Middle Thousand Worlds were far vaster than the Minor Thousand Worlds. The width of the Endless Abyss alone was greater than the previous Yuan Realm's diameter.
Although they could already see the archipelago where the Blood Palace was located, the airship flew for another day before reaching the vicinity of the archipelago.
Upon closer inspection, these were not islands at all, but rather a cluster of floating continents.
Although the entry Jade Slip had provided some introduction, seeing it firsthand was still shocking.
The location of the Abyssal Blood Palace was referred to within the palace as the Seven Floating Islands.
Calling them islands, they were actually seven floating continents, each of which was not much smaller than the Yuan Realm.
The seven continents were called the Seven States of the Blood Palace: Blood God Continent, the main branch of the Blood Palace, and the six branch states of Blood Profound, Blood Nether, Blood Firmament, Blood Haze, Blood Dome, and Blood Prison.
Around the Seven States, countless true small islands also floated, but even the smallest was several tens of miles in circumference, generally being the Immortal Caves of some Great Experts above the Dao Integration Realm within the Blood Palace.
The Jade Slip mentioned that unless summoned, one must never trespass, otherwise, they would be responsible for their own life or death.
The airship, carrying the newly admitted Disciples, gradually approached the defensive barrier that enveloped the entire Seven States of the Blood Palace.
A gap suddenly appeared, allowing the airship to pass through easily.
The airship headed towards the Blood God Continent. Along the way, Xue Hai could see mountains, rivers, dense forests, and snowy mountains through the window, truly indistinguishable from a real world.
On some high mountains, spiritual birds soared and spiritual mist ascended, presenting an extremely ethereal scene.
It seemed to completely contradict his imagined scene of a sinister and bloody demonic sect.
Stepping out of the cabin, Xue Hai headed towards the airship's deck.
There were a total of nine Disciples who passed the third floor of the Blood Fiend Tower this time, and six of them were already on the deck, admiring the beautiful scenery of the Blood God Continent.
Even if they were demonic Cultivators, they were still human, and it was human nature to enjoy beautiful scenery.
As the airship flew on, a mountain range stretching for a thousand miles appeared.
According to the Jade Slip, this mountain range was called the World-Ascending Mountain Range.
It was also the location of the Abyssal Blood Palace headquarters...
