7: Chapter 7 Ancient Sacred Body, Blood-Red Sea of ​​Bitterness

" This youth has vigorous Qi and blood, as if he possesses the strength of a Dragon and Elephant within his body. What could possibly be the problem? "

The Elder of the Jinxia Grotto-Heaven said sourly.

Elder Ma Yun frowned, divine radiance scattering as he probed Ye Fan's condition, then sighed: " I did not expect it to truly be that legendary peerless Ancient Sacred Body. "

" What? Ancient Sacred Body! "

The Elders of the various Grotto-Heavens had eyes gleaming with intensity as they surrounded Ye Fan, protecting him.

" It is a pity that it is an Ancient Sacred Body from before the Archaic era. In this current age, it is difficult for the Ancient Sacred Body to Cultivate. This child's Bitter Sea is as hard as iron; trying to break through the Bitter Sea to embark on the path of Cultivation is difficult, difficult, difficult. " Elder Ma Yun shook his head, filled with regret.

Seeing that Ye Fan was indeed that legendary Ancient Sacred Body, the passionate expressions of the Elders instantly cooled, and they laughed one after another: " Congratulations to everyone at Lingxu Grotto-Heaven for receiving a peerless Ancient Sacred Body as a Disciple. The day of your rise is surely now. "

The Elder from Lingxu Grotto-Heaven who had come with Wei Wei did not look too pleased. If he had known this earlier, he would have chosen that Pang Bo instead; now, an opportunity had been wasted in vain.

Wei Wei parted her red lips slightly and said softly: " Ye Fan, with your Physique, it is difficult to Cultivate. However, if you are single-mindedly devoted to the Dao, our Lingxu Grotto-Heaven will never break our promise and will do our best to help you embark on the path of Cultivation. If you do not wish to join our Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, you may leave of your own accord. "

These people only knew that Ye Fan was an Ancient Sacred Body, but they did not know that he had consumed nine kinds of nine wonders undying medicine. This powerful medicinal force was accumulated within his body, so breaking open the Bitter Sea to Cultivate was not a difficult task. Even if reaching the Four Poles Secret Realm was extremely difficult, reaching the Dao Palace Realm and nurturing the inner god was not too hard.

Chu Qingqiu spoke up at this moment: " Ye Fan, everyone is a stranger here, and I fear you will find it difficult to survive alone. Come with me to Lingxu Grotto-Heaven; I will look after you. "

Chu Qingqiu had only obtained those nine wonders undying medicine and divine spring water thanks to Ye Fan, so naturally, he had to repay this Karma.

" Ye Fan, if you don't want to go to Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, you can come with me to Jinxia Grotto-Heaven. We are good brothers; I won't abandon you! " Pang Bo, who was on the side, knew his good brother had difficulty Cultivating and also spoke up to persuade him.

" I would like to go to Lingxu Grotto-Heaven, but not as a Disciple, rather as a guest. I wonder if this Fairy would welcome that? "

Ye Fan was unwilling to be cut off from the path of immortality. He would not give up on himself just because these people from the Grotto-Heavens said he couldn't do it. He was Ye Fan, the wise and courageous Ye Fan!

Wei Wei's eyes flickered with rainbow light as she smiled: " Of course you can. Lingxu Grotto-Heaven welcomes all well-intentioned guests. "

After the various Grotto-Heavens had selected their Disciples, Chu Qingqiu's classmates bid farewell one by one, but he did not join in the commotion.

The people from Lingxu Grotto-Heaven brought Chu Qingqiu and Ye Fan and raised a rainbow light, flying towards Lingxu Grotto-Heaven. The speed was extremely fast, yet there was no biting cold wind; it was as warm as walking on the ground. They could not feel the strong wind, and the air was warm and humid.

I do not know how much time had passed when the rainbow light finally stopped. The rolling immortal mountains were shrouded in a hazy mist. Clouds and mists scattered colors, the sun and moon shook with light, towering pines and cypresses stood tall, and ancient bamboo with distinct joints grew densely. Mysterious apes and white deer appeared and disappeared, and the cries of immortal cranes could be heard everywhere. It was truly a scene of an immortal dwelling.

However, this was only the entrance to Lingxu Grotto-Heaven. Wei Wei led Chu Qingqiu and the other one through a bluestone path, and the interior was even more profound. Spirit Beasts roamed, immortal birds swam in the water, and the slender bamboo, nourished by Spiritual Qi, was dripping with emerald green, like stalks of jade.

Wei Wei brought Chu Qingqiu and the other one to a few thatched huts, instructed them to stay there temporarily, and said that someone would come to teach them, before leaving.

Chu Qingqiu chose a thatched hut, sat cross-legged, and began to Cultivate.

The path of Cultivation is divided into five major Secret Realms, starting with the initial Lunhai Secret Realm, opening the Bitter Sea, Cultivating the Life Spring, building the Divine Bridge, and finally reaching the Other Shore. This stage mainly focuses on Cultivating the Wheel of Life below the navel, nourishing and strengthening the Physical Body, and increasing basic strength.

Chu Qingqiu possessed the Innate Dao Embryo, which is an excellent Physique for Cultivation. The ancient Western Emperor possessed this very Physique. According to the method of Cultivation in the Dao Scripture: Lunhai Volume, he quickly sensed the Wheel of Life located below his navel. By using life essence to impact the Wheel of Life, one could open the Bitter Sea and become a Bitter Sea Realm Cultivator.

Chu Qingqiu, having consumed nine kinds of nine wonders undying medicine, had vigorous essence within his body. However, in order to make his Bitter Sea open up more perfectly, Chu Qingqiu took out a beast pellet formed from the Fusion of the essence blood of thousands of Divine Crocodiles and swallowed it. In an instant, powerful life essence surged into Chu Qingqiu's body.

These life essences were not guided, flowing along the limbs and bones into the skeleton and internal organs, continuously strengthening Chu Qingqiu's Physical Body.

With a " boom ", Chu Qingqiu's Bitter Sea was opened. The newly opened Bitter Sea was as large as three football fields, and unlike the usual pitch-black or dark green Bitter Seas, his Bitter Sea was blood-colored, which could be called a Blood Sea. This Blood Sea churned, clearly having communicated with the Wheel of Life, and above the Blood Sea, crimson lightning flashed, which was quite extraordinary.

The entire thatched hut was shrouded in a blood-colored glow. Fortunately, there was no one else here except for Ye Fan who was sleeping next door, so no one discovered this strange phenomenon.

" The Bitter Sea of the ancient Innate Dao Embryo is black, only wreathed in purple mist. My Bitter Sea has become blood-colored; could it be because of that beast pellet? "

Chu Qingqiu was also very surprised by the mutation of his own Bitter Sea, but he could feel the endless power coming from the Bitter Sea. One day, this special Bitter Sea would surely manifest visions for him.

Outside the house, the night was deep, and the pale golden moonlight sprinkled onto the thatched hut, as if draping it in a layer of golden gauze. Occasionally, the howls of beasts and the cries of birds could be heard. Chu Qingqiu, having opened the Bitter Sea, walked outside, intending to help Ye Fan.

Ye Fan had slept for a while when he was brought back during the day, so he couldn't sleep now. Thinking that he might have no chance at the path of immortality, he felt a wave of irritation in his heart.

" Qingqiu, you have come out. "

Ye Fan saw Chu Qingqiu walking out of the room and greeted him.

Chu Qingqiu smiled slightly, his Bitter Sea Cultivation base revealed!

" You have opened your Bitter Sea? "

Ye Fan was very surprised; one must know that Lingxu Grotto-Heaven hadn't even started teaching them how to Cultivate yet.

" Ye Fan, you should have heard a passage of mysterious text in that copper coffin, right? That is a method of Cultivation. I tried to Cultivate according to the method above, and I opened the Bitter Sea. " Chu Qingqiu made up a random excuse to gloss over the matter. The scriptures Ye Fan heard in the copper coffin were actually not a method of Cultivation, but the current Ye Fan couldn't figure these things out, so it didn't matter.

" Then your talent is truly good. " Ye Fan knew that Chu Qingqiu was just a Mortal before; to have opened the Bitter Sea in just a few hours was definitely worthy of being called a Genius.

" Ye Fan will only obtain the Dao Scripture in the Qing Emperor's Tomb. If I give him the Dao Scripture: Lunhai Volume in advance now and help him open the Bitter Sea, it can be considered repaying the Karma of that undying medicine. "

Chu Qingqiu had already made up his mind and spoke: " Ye Fan, do you want to open your Bitter Sea as soon as possible? "
