377: Chapter 376 Blood Rain Body Refinement

"Benefactor, perhaps saving me was not your original intention, and you needn't worry about it, but I cannot help but take this matter to heart. And for you to be so open with me about it is enough to prove your character and magnanimity."

Xiao Luowei looked at Chu Xuan with even more brilliance shining in her eyes.

"As for the Art of Karma, these are remnant secret arts discovered in ancient ruins. They are only accessible to the Three Sects and Four Clans, with the Tayun Sect being the most skilled in this path."

At this point, Xiao Luowei sighed softly.

"The resources of this world have long been monopolized by the Three Sects and Four Clans. Commoners are merely consumables for Cultivation. Even with the slight path for advancement left behind, no matter how hard we try, at most we can only become vassals of the Three Sects and Four Clans."

"Tayun Sect..." Chu Xuan nodded slightly, then asked, "Which powers make up the Three Sects and Four Clans? Also, which world is this world of yours?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Luowei's expression froze, and a look of surprise crossed her face.

But soon, the surprise vanished, and she said thoughtfully,

"There is no definitive conclusion as to which world this place is. The records accessible to commoners only vaguely mention that this is a Land Favored by the Divine Decree and subtly hint at the existence of other worlds, but there are no clear records.

Perhaps only ancient powers like the Three Sects and Four Clans, which have inherited a vast amount of ancient Legacies, possess deeper records."

Xiao Luowei continued, "The three major Sects are the Tayun Sect, the Zhenyang Sect, and the Ziling Sect. The four clans are the Chen, Wang, Shen, and Xie."

"Is that so..." Chu Xuan shook his head gently.

Originally, he wanted to obtain information from Xiao Luowei to find the Art of Karma and track down the [Revelation].

But now it seemed that this lead had to be temporarily put aside.

However, Chu Xuan was not too disappointed. Coming here had already yielded gains, so it wasn't a loss by any means. Moreover, he could continue trying to increase his strength attribute through Xiao Luowei.

With a thought, Chu Xuan said, "Your injuries should be mostly healed, right? Can you start using the Bloody Rain and Windy Storm?"

"Okay." Xiao Luowei nodded and stood on the turtle's back, flicking her crimson robes.

In an instant, an illusory scene like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared behind her again. At the same time, a bloody cloud mass gathered in the sky.

Accompanied by a fierce gale, drops of bloody rain began to fall.

Chu Xuan once again felt the slight stinging sensation from the bloody rain, and the howling cold winds felt as if they were trying to bore into his skin.

After ten or so seconds, the System sent another prompt.

[Your health points -10]

[Your health points -10]

[...]

Unlike before, this time it took a full 60 health points to increase his strength attribute by 1 point.

Chu Xuan immediately realized that the Bloody Rain and Windy Storm's effect on him was likely similar to high-grade life essence, where the initial boost was the greatest.

But as it was used more, the effect would gradually diminish.

Another three minutes passed as the bloody rain poured down.

Xiao Luowei's injuries had clearly not fully recovered. She was only controlling a small area of bloody rain, but her face was becoming paler and paler.

The falling drops of bloody rain vanished instantly upon hitting the surrounding seawater.

The giant turtle beneath them occasionally rose with the waves, moving toward the distance, seemingly unaffected by the Bloody Rain and Windy Storm.

Only Chu Xuan, because of his injuries, saw his health points decrease faster and faster, while the increase in his strength attribute was inversely proportional, growing smaller and smaller.

It wasn't until he lost 280 health points that his strength attribute increased by 3 points.

"Benefactor, you can actually resist my Natal Divine Ability purely with your Physical Body without using any True Essence?" A look of intense shock appeared on Xiao Luowei's pale face, filled with disbelief.

Then she suddenly thought of something and cried out in surprise, "Are you... could you be using my Natal Divine Ability for Body Refining?"

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Natal Divine Ability?"

"I forgot, Benefactor, you are likely not from this world." Xiao Luowei took a deep breath and explained:

"In our world, everyone can Cultivate martial arts, which is to enter the Dao through martial arts! Martial arts are divided into three realms: Human, Earth, and Heaven. Any expert who steps into the Heaven Realm can open the body's hidden treasures, condense their own Phenomenon, and use their Natal Divine Ability."

Isn't this somewhat similar to the effect of a Domain?

Chu Xuan thought to himself.

Xiao Luowei continued, "Although I have only recently entered the Heaven Realm, with The Dragon Turtle's help, I quickly condensed a slaughter Phenomenon that is extremely powerful even among those in the same realm.

However, perhaps because The Dragon Turtle is a Spirit Treasure, this Natal Divine Ability of mine also contains The Dragon Turtle's unique characteristics, which can be considered a hidden flaw of mine.

That is, as long as one can resist it with a pure Physical Body and not be seriously injured, it's possible to gain some Body Refining benefits from it."

This wasn't a flaw; it was practically a divine effect!

Chu Xuan stared at the giant turtle carrying them beneath his feet, a strange light flashing in his eyes. "This Spirit Treasure is truly incredible."

"Benefactor, my injuries have flared up. I need to wait a while before I can continue." Xiao Luowei bit her red lip. She looked like she wanted to force herself to continue but was unable to sustain it.

Chu Xuan immediately waved his hand and said, "No rush. Recover from your injuries first before we continue."

While they were talking, a faint golden light flashed across the giant turtle's body, quite different from when it was only palm-sized.

Under this faint golden light, Chu Xuan discovered that he seemed to be receiving some kind of nourishment, and his health points were slowly recovering.
