208: Chapter 208 A Woman Born Out of Nothing?!
However, Su Mo would not absorb it now.
Instead, he prepared to let it continue to Cultivate, waiting until the cultivation reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage...
Didn't the Great Nirvana Buddha say one could enter the Path to Immortality directly? Perhaps it would be better to wait until this Incarnation had successfully Cultivated into a True Immortal before absorbing it.
Moreover, the Blood Scripture given by the Blood Sea Demon Venerable had not yet been Cultivated; this should also be a key that could open the Path to Immortality.
If he were to let the Incarnation Cultivate the Blood Scripture...
By then, with the Great Nirvana Buddha in his left hand and the Blood Sea Demon in his right.
With both powers gathered in one body, perhaps that was the Dao that he, Su Mo, would tread.
Turning around, looking at Phoenix Nine Heavens beside him, whose eyes were already more than half eroded, Su Mo did not hesitate in the slightest, bringing his fingers together like a sword to strike her down.
"You..."
A trace of astonishment and relief flashed through Phoenix Nine Heavens' eyes as her body went limp on the ground.
Su Mo was expressionless.
"Family Property Reclamation!"
The spiritual light filling the sky gathered again, and the figure of Phoenix Nine Heavens appeared once more, completely unharmed, her eyes having recovered their clarity and former coldness.
Only, in the gaze she directed at Su Mo, there was an added, indescribable complexity.
"Let's go."
Su Mo did not offer much explanation and walked directly out of the Zen courtyard.
Although that monk had been converted into Su Mo's Incarnation, all the living beings in this city had not escaped the control of the Great Nirvana Buddha, living just like ordinary people.
If Su Mo were to convert them into Incarnations, they would merely become mindless husks.
Perhaps doing nothing was the best course of action.
...
The group headed toward the far west of the Eastern Region again.
According to Crimson Radiance, there should also be an ancient teleportation array there, so they wouldn't need to spend time crossing the Boundless Sea.
During the flight, Su Mo had one of his Incarnations begin to Cultivate the Blood Scripture.
This Blood Scripture was quite strange and overbearing; it was not traditional Qi Refining.
Instead, it used the self as a furnace, devouring external essence blood and vitality to condense a blood sea that belonged solely to oneself within the body.
At the beginning of cultivation, one needed to devour a large amount of essence blood to condense the first drop of blood sea origin essence, and subsequently, using the blood sea origin essence as the core, condense a blood lake.
When the blood lake expanded to a certain degree, quantitative change triggered a qualitative change; the surface of the lake began to boil and rotate, constantly compressing until it turned into a blood river.
Finally, the blood rivers converged to form a blood sea.
Once reaching this step, when fighting others, as long as the blood sea did not dry up, one's vitality would not be extinguished.
Su Mo suddenly understood.
The blood sea he had seen in the Secret Realm space beneath the volcano back then must have been a technique of the Blood Sea Demon Venerable.
But to condense a blood sea of that magnitude, the essence blood required was no small amount; it would likely require the slaughter of billions of living beings to condense.
"No wonder he only gave a Cultivation Technique; it turns out he couldn't provide the essence blood... Heh..."
The next moment, a flash of light appeared in Su Mo's eyes.
"However, I may lack many things, but I certainly do not lack essence blood!"
His gaze turned toward the uncountable number of Zerg; each one could provide essence blood and vitality.
Coupled with the terrifying production speed of the Zerg Queen, this amount was not even a drop in the bucket.
Thinking it, he did it!
Su Mo moved his mind.
In an instant, a phalanx composed of tens of thousands of Zerg voluntarily poured their own essence blood and vitality into the body of the Incarnation Cultivating the Blood Scripture.
Boom—!
A blood-colored sun suddenly rose around the Incarnation!
A blood lake instantly condensed within its body, and it began to solidify and expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Incarnation's cultivation also began to climb steadily, directly breaking through the Bottleneck to reach the Soul Transformation Stage.
Su Mo nodded with satisfaction.
"The efficiency is not bad."
He estimated that if there were such an amount of essence blood to absorb at all times, perhaps it wouldn't take long for this Incarnation to condense the true prototype of a blood sea.
"The Blood Sea Demon Venerable probably never imagined that the Blood Scripture could be Cultivated in this way..."
While in this efficient state of cultivation, the outline of the Boundless Sea appeared before his eyes, and a city appeared below, emitting waves of spatial fluctuations.
The ancient teleportation array had arrived!
However, this city was extremely desolate, with only a few black-robed Cultivators passing through.
Generally speaking, such a coastal city, which was also the location of an ancient cross-domain teleportation array, should have been an extremely prosperous place.
Su Mo looked down, his eyes narrowing.
"Ever-Silent City?"
Such a familiar name...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.
The name of the evil cult Crimson Radiance mentioned before was called the Ever-Silent Cult; perhaps there was some connection between the two.
Thinking of this, Su Mo did not hesitate to urge the Two-Headed Phoenix to fly down.
Landing on the ground, he walked into the city with indifference.
Unexpectedly, no one blocked them, and there were no guards.
The city gates were completely undefended, the streets inside the city were empty, and the doors and windows of the shops were tightly shut, but one could sense the presence of living people inside.
There were men, women, the old, and the young; they all had their eyes tightly closed, their expressions peaceful, their breathing long and weak, with no sign of wanting to wake up.
Passing through the empty streets, the group arrived directly at the ancient teleportation array in the very center of the city.
Many Cultivators were sitting cross-legged here, from every level.
They were clad in black robes, surrounding the entire teleportation array tightly.
When Su Mo and the others arrived, they had no intention of paying them any heed.
Su Mo raised an eyebrow, a bit confused, and was just about to wake one up to check the situation when...
Hum!!
Suddenly, a white beam of light reaching the sky erupted from the teleportation array.
Vast spatial fluctuations swept through the surroundings, and the black-robed Cultivators sitting around the teleportation array opened their eyes in unison at this moment.
In their eyes, there was no distinction between whites and pupils, only pure gray-white.
The beam of light subsided, and a graceful figure appeared before Su Mo's eyes.
Looking at this person, Su Mo's brows immediately furrowed tightly.
"Ye Qingshuang?!"
This person was the very woman Su Mo had saved in the Qian Kingdom palace; she had said she wanted to repay him, leaving a deep impression on Su Mo.
Although more than ten years had passed, Su Mo still recognized her.
But... how could she be here? Shouldn't she be in the Western Region?
The distance between the Eastern and Western Regions was so vast; how did she get here, and she seemed to have inextricable links with these black-robed Cultivators.
The Ye Qingshuang before him was dressed in a water-blue dress, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding black-robed Cultivators.
Her face was a bit more mature than before, but the eyes that should have been lively were now like ten-thousand-year-old ice, devoid of any emotion.
What surprised Su Mo even more was the aura on Ye Qingshuang's body.
A Late Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator!
"Welcome, Left Protector!"
Ye Qingshuang ignored the kneeling cultists around her; her cold gaze passed through the crowd and finally locked onto Su Mo.
A look of painful struggle appeared on her face, a trace of clarity appeared in her eyes, and she squeezed out two words from her mouth:
"Ba... Ba..."
But a shuttle-shaped pattern between her brows flickered, and the clarity in her eyes instantly vanished.
Hearing this, the people beside Su Mo looked at him in confusion.
"Big brother, when did you have a daughter?!"
