Now, Deng Chanyu asked about the secret of Yun Xiao's ability to pass through the grand array without disturbance, which scratched Yun's itchy spot. She spoke softly and explained her experience in detail.
The two often skirted around the blood god's children, who were emotionless and served as patrol teams.
As they walked, they exchanged insights into their crimes. One had a knack for imagination, while the other possessed practical experience. Now, with this exchange, they both felt like they had gained a lot.
Yun Xiao was focused on studying the arrays here, while Deng Chanyu was observing the blood god's children she had encountered along the way.
The god's children of Menghe Ancient God indeed have supreme divine powers, but such control is not precise. With quasi-saintly powers, one can control a thousand, a million, or even a hundred million blood god's children when discovering outsiders as if manipulating their arms and fingers. However, without detecting outsiders, the capabilities of blood god's children are extremely limited.
Minghe controlling the 480 million blood god's children does not rely on the traditional concept of dividing one's attention between two things.
He imitated the ability of the Sage to embody countless forms, which was nothing but a clumsy imitation.
This divine ability is more like an immensely amplified swarm of bees. The Queen of the River of Souls, Minghe, gives instructions to the numerous blood god worker bees, and these instructions are smoothly received. The blood god's children can respond accordingly, though their responses are generally quite simple.
He can divide his mental energy into an average of 480 million parts, and merge it with the blood god's children. In this way, there is no such thing as a true body. However, every blood god's child is still a true body. Unless you kill all the blood gods at once, you cannot truly kill him. This is the powerful nature of this divine ability.
Deng Chanyu and Yun Xiao grew closer to the main hall, and along the way, over thirteen warehouses filled with heavenly treasures were stripped bare by them.
The blood sea is poor, but the Ancestor of the River of Souls is not. This place even possesses some unique spiritual materials that are not found elsewhere.
More than one hundred blood lotus seeds have been found from the twelve-grade Flaming Lotus.
Yehuo usually refers to the flames burning sinners in hell, with heavy negative effects. It is far inferior to the twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus.
But yehuo is also a very pure kind of flame.
After consuming the blood lotus seeds, one will experience the burning of the flames of karma, which lasts for 49 days and nights. It is equivalent to embarking on a journey of purifying the heart. Overall, it is still worth it.
Deng Chanyu estimated that Nuwa wouldn't like it, so she and Yun Xiao each took half. Yun Xiao needed to go back and whip his sister, while she was planning to go back and feed the Phoenix Element.
The remaining spiritual materials can be said to be brimming with the attributes of the afterlife, which is understandable since the Blood Sea and the Underworld are neighbors.
Deng Chanyu took away most of it and turned to give it to Zhao Ji to help her recover her body.
They also gained quite a lot of weapons, armor, altar, and shamanistic scrolls used by ancient tribes.
Among them, the most valuable are undoubtedly the shamanistic scrolls. The tribes of ancient witchcraft relied on them to counterbalance the demons for so many years. Deng Chanyu took one and left the original scrolls with Yun Xiao.
They swept through everything, regardless of its purpose or nature. Whenever they encountered something, they would take it away.
The opportunity for the Blood Sea to open its gates is rare; whether distant or close, everyone is a guest, so do not be shy.
Yun Xiao stood in front of a seemingly ordinary wooden door, deep in thought.
The door was a pale red color, without any decorations or patterns. At this moment, the main gate was firmly closed, and from time to time, a power barrier similar to fish scales appeared on the door.
Yun Xiao sought Deng Chanyu's opinion, asking, "What do you think this place might be?"
By now, they had ventured deep into the bottommost layer of the Blood God Palace. Earlier, they had entered from the topmost level, afraid of disturbing the grand array here and only moving downwards as if climbing stairs, relying entirely on their two feet along the way.
This was not a climb of just six or twelve levels, but thousands of levels. To move through layer after layer like this, it would have been exhausting for Deng Chanyu were it not for the abundant spoils they had gathered.
At this moment, she was sitting aside, hitting her legs. Her body was not tired, but she felt mentally exhausted. Without hitting her legs a few times, she felt as if something was missing.
Hearing Yun Xiao's question, she yawned, rolled up her sleeves, and began to calculate with her fingers.
“Hmm, seems like a rather substantial reward. Can you break this restriction without setting off the grand array?”
Yun Xiao furrowed his brow in thought, then shook his head after a cup of tea, "This door is connected to nearly half of the nodes in the grand array. I don't think it's possible to break the restriction without alerting it."
Deng Chanyu's eyes emitted a purple light, and after carefully examining it for a while, she asked, "It seems like there are some good things inside. What do you think it might be?"
Yun Xiao, with much experience, said, "I guess it's the Agony Sword accompanying the River of Souls. However, it could also be the Elemental Slaying Sword. Isn't it said that many people think the rift between Menghe and his two disciples is a conspiracy? Maybe what's sealed inside is the Elemental Slaying Sword said to be held by Dahua Tian in the outside world."
In fact, both Long Ji and Yun Xiao are interested in collecting famous swords from the Primordial Wilderness. The former collects all kinds of precious swords, pursuing their appearance, efficacy, and fame. The latter's swords are mostly for combat, emphasizing practicality; whether they look good or not is secondary.
In terms of swords, Deng Chanyu doesn't have much expertise. Yun Xiao speaks with certainty, and she follows his lead in this matter.
She pointed to the door and said, "Then let's break this door open. Regardless of what's inside, it must be fated for us. At the same time, let's prepare for battle."
Yun Xiao couldn't help but tilt her head to the side. Having not been tempered and taught by the Saint of Chuandi, she felt too embarrassed to so openly say the words "fated."
Deng Chanyu's calculation speed is getting faster, "It seems like there are still variables. Let's wait for a moment. This is not the best time to break the door."
Knowing that she has a well-organized approach to things, Yun Xiao is not in a hurry either. She sits cross-legged beside her, waiting patiently for the right moment to come.
The Ancestor of the River of Souls used the blood god's children to confront the Yellow Dragon Immortal, and they fought for more than fifty rounds without a decisive victory.
The Yellow Dragon True Immortal had become much stronger than during the beginning of the "Chengshen" era. After fusing half of his malevolent intentions and soul remnants, all aspects had undergone a qualitative improvement.
No longer timid, no longer hesitant.
What about the Ancestor of the River of Souls? They still fight!
On the contrary, Menghe Ancient God was weakened. Despite his mastery of countless grand laws and sophisticated techniques, he was limited by the body of blood god's children, preventing him from fully exerting his power.
The cultivation level of the blood god's children is very low, not comparable to the peak Jinxian cultivation level of the Yellow Dragon True Immortal.
He can fuse the surrounding blood god's children to rapidly improve his cultivation level, but this kind of improvement has a limit, and Jinxian cultivation level is a significant barrier.
The Ancestor of the River of Souls could gather a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand blood god's children to fend off one Jinxian. How many combatants at the Jinxian level would gather together when combining four hundred and eighty million blood god's children? If he were so powerful, he would have unified the Hundred Dreadful Tribes long ago.
The Floating Hill Country did not succumb to the threat and refused to open the interdimensional passage. Relying on the blood carried by those Asura princesses from Bashang, it was still limited. The Ancestor of the River of Souls was not satisfied with the current results of the battle. While confronting the Yellow Dragon, he secretly laid his hands on things, forcibly expanding the interdimensional passage.
The Ancestor of the River of Souls was dissatisfied. The Yellow Dragon True Immortal was even more dissatisfied.
