Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation

Chapter 336

The newly regenerated limbs were still unable to adapt to the overwhelming power of the divine marrow. They had to be continuously scoured with yin nether qi and blood before they could bear the fierce divine might of the marrow.

Thus.

In the time that followed, Wang Yu focused primarily on cultivating the Yin Nether Demonic Dragon Art. While restoring his strength, he devoted the remaining part of his attention to refining the second supreme-grade Guanghan Pill.

Once this pill was fully refined, reaching the peak of the sixth layer of Core Formation would be almost guaranteed. At that point, he would face a new bottleneck known as the Fortifying Core Tribulation.

All of his divine abilities and secret arts.

The Demonic Dragon Fist and the Yellow Springs Great Hand Seal had both reached the major accomplishment stage. The next step was to push them toward the perfection stage. Under frequent high intensity battles, the Aurora Escape Technique had also made considerable progress recently.

It was only a tiny step away from minor accomplishment.

Wang Yu felt that if he continued fighting at such intensity, once he left the Blood Abyss Sacred Land, he would undergo a complete rebirth and transformation.

Within the Sea Heart Ring, there was still a large quantity of high tier spiritual items of yin and ice attributes.

They were either refined into the Glazed Iceheart Pagoda, or converted into extreme cold power to cultivate the divine ability known as the Twelve Phases of Guanghan. After verification by Long Xingyun, its might surpassed the Lesser Asura Killing Fist by several tiers.This was something that absolutely could not be ignored.

As for the other aspects, he could only take things one step at a time.

Two months later.

In Blood Beast Valley, the Yellow Springs Demonic Sword returned to Wang Yu’s hand. The ground was littered with blood wolf beasts whose heads had been pierced through. As his divine sense swept out, over a thousand blood beast crystal cores gathered toward him.

The task issued by Cold Blood Peak to obtain thirty third rank blood beast crystal cores had already been swiftly completed during these two months of recovery.

He had even exceeded the requirement by quite a margin.

He still harbored a fair amount of anticipation toward the Blood Pool Baptism that the sect would bestow. Therefore, the more high quality blood beast crystal cores, the better.

Sooner or later, they would become nourishment for his growth. They could be considered a scarce resource. As for the lower grade blood beast crystal cores, he treated them as materials.

All of them were fused into the Evil Demonic Dragon Armor, allowing this damaged bloodline true artifact to fully recover.

At this moment, Wang Yu had completely returned to his peak condition.

“Blood Beast Valley is close to the Blood Demon Sea. The number of cultivators active here should be quite large. Perhaps I should find some of them and have a chat.”

He had not forgotten that the pill needed to break through the late Core Formation bottleneck was still unresolved. Lacking materials, he could only obtain them from these people.

Preparing in advance would prevent delays when the time truly came.

“And then there is the Myriad Spirit Blood Essence. Once I break through to late Core Formation, the speed of cultivation will slow to an extreme. If I want to improve rapidly, I can only rely on the local specialty of this place.”

As for the Blood Demon Sea, the number of blood slave demonic thralls and high level blood beasts there was publicly acknowledged to be enormous. Any fellow disciple with even a bit of ability would rush there at the first opportunity.

Hunting beasts and hunting people could be carried out simultaneously. Wang Yu thought quickly. Before heading to the Blood Demon Sea, he planned to sweep through Blood Beast Valley one more time.

At the same time, he would also inquire about the situation in other regions.

Especially the whereabouts of Zhuo Shouyun.

…

…

“Strange. Is this not Blood Beast Valley? Why are there so few blood beasts? They have not even formed proper groups.”

The one speaking was a young cultivator carrying a black coffin on his back. His strength was only at the third layer of Core Formation.

A companion beside him, of similar strength, also frowned deeply. “Something is not right. This place may have already been swept through by someone. Let us head deeper and take a look.”

Upon hearing that someone had already been here, the black coffin cultivator hesitated.

With the cultivation of the two of them, they were at the very bottom in the Blood Abyss Sacred Land. Unlike the personal disciples of the Nine Peaks, they did not possess the ability to challenge enemies across realms.

They could only be cautious at every step.

“This is not appropriate.

“If someone is capable of sweeping through Blood Beast Valley, they must be an existence at the peak of Core Formation. If we rashly go deeper and encounter that person, would the two of us not be dead for certain.”

Who would have thought that his companion would respond like this.

“Deep within Blood Beast Valley, there is a beast king of terrifying strength that has defeated many of the Exalted Sect’s prodigies. Look at these bloodstains. The blood is still fresh, which proves that the person has not been gone long.

“Perhaps they are currently engaged in battle with the beast king. Such a golden opportunity cannot be missed.”

Clearly, compared to the black coffin cultivator who favored steady caution.

His companion was a cultivator who firmly believed that wealth and fortune were to be sought amid danger.

“I still think this is inappropriate…”

Just as the black coffin cultivator was about to persuade him further, a thunderous rumble suddenly came from the distance. From deep within Blood Beast Valley, thunderclouds abruptly gathered in the sky.

A figure flickering with lightning, exuding overwhelming corpse qi, controlled bolts of lightning that struck the ground in succession, attacking some kind of living being.

“This is… a thunder corpse?!!”

“When has this generation of disciples from Heavenly Corpse Peak ever had someone with a thunder corpse? Wen Da, this is your great opportunity!”

After a round of forceful argument and persuasion, the two of them ultimately flew toward the depths. Before long, within the explosive flashes of lightning.

A thunder corpse and a fiend corpse were battling a gigantic creature with four legs and blood wings, its beastly head resembling that of a dragon. Behind them, there was also a cultivator who from time to time used a flute shaped magic treasure to assist the two corpses in their attack.

This person was none other than Wang Yu.

After sensing someone approaching from behind, a smile appeared in Wang Yu’s eyes. The blood beast king was indeed extremely useful.

At this time, it had already been two years since he had hidden himself in Blood Beast Valley to recover from his injuries.

This was not his first time battling the blood beast king. This blood beast was indeed formidable, but due to the erosion of blood intent, it lacked spiritual intelligence and could only react by instinct.

If he truly wanted to kill it, it would be nothing special.

It was better to use a state of “fierce ongoing battle” as bait, luring the opportunistic mentality of these fellow disciples, sending them in waves for him to kill. Because of this, he had already gathered most of the alchemy materials he needed.

Only one main ingredient remained to complete the requirements for the Returning True Spirit Pill needed to break through the late Core Formation bottleneck.

“Once again, fellow disciples from Heavenly Corpse Peak. It seems their desire for variant zombies far outweighs their fear of danger…”

As for the two little fish that had just arrived.

His gaze was filled with burning fervor.

“This is an opportunity, truly a great opportunity.”

“Indeed. The forty two corpse brothers before you said the same thing.”

The black coffin cultivator was stunned. He had not spoken just now.

His companion, however, was trembling, eyes wide open as he stared behind him. Wang Yu had appeared there at some unknown moment.

The man suddenly looked toward the battlefield where the Blood Beast King was fighting, only to see an identical figure wave at him before turning into a streak of auroral light and dispersing.

This was the minor accomplishment stage of the Aurora Escape Technique. It could create an auroral phantom body that seemed completely real. Those lacking sufficient divine sense would find it difficult to see through it.

“Gulp. Run, now.”

He swallowed with difficulty and shouted.

Without looking back, he fled straight into the sky. In his view, only by entering the blood clouds and forcing a clash with extreme danger would there be a slim chance of survival.

“Quite a clever one.”

Wang Yu waved his hand casually. The Yellow Springs Demonic Sword slashed upward in reverse, carving a straight line through the air. With almost no resistance or delay, the figure fleeing toward the blood clouds fell from the sky.

He had no more ability to resist than a pig.

Seeing this, the black coffin cultivator’s knees went weak and he knelt to the ground, kowtowing as his forehead struck the earth.

“Elder Wang Yu, I have something to say. It will definitely be useful to you. I beg you to spare my life.”

“You know me?”

Wang Yu raised his hand and retrieved the corpse. The Lunar Yin Nurturing Corpse Coffin was packed full, and many of the bodies already showed signs of turning into zombies.

With a bit of refinement using Yin Fiend Corpse Refinement Techniques, they would likely be worth even more.

However, he preferred to use them to nurture the Two Corpses. With so many third rank corpses, it would be enough for the two of them to advance further and reach the late third rank.

In the distance, the Two Corpses were still entangled in battle with the Blood Beast King. The black coffin cultivator was drenched in cold sweat and hurriedly explained.

“Over the past two years, Zhuo Shouyun has been spreading information about you everywhere, and he has promised great rewards to temporarily gather a group of elite fellow disciples. They are currently active on the western side of the Blood Demon Sea.

“This Blood Infant Fruit is also said to be born in that region.”

So that was it.

Wang Yu had originally planned to use the Soul Gouging Evil Boat Curse to directly search his soul, but this secret art was not yet perfected. If he were to miss some important information, it would be a pity.

Better to ask first.

After pondering for a moment, he asked.

“Among the people Zhuo Shouyun has gathered, are there forces from family factions?”

“Yes, and many of them.”

The black coffin cultivator replied quickly.

“The Lu clan of Five Yin Peak, the Chen clan of Gu Poison Peak, the Feng clan of Secluded Valley. I only know these, but I have heard other fellow disciples say that the group already exceeds one hundred people.”

Wang Yu felt something was wrong. He could not understand how Zhuo Shouyun was able to drive so many people to work for him. No matter how powerful the Zhuo clan was, the resources Zhuo Shouyun could command were still limited.

How could he satisfy the demands of so many people.

Could it be a snowball effect?

The more people there were, the less threatening Wang Yu seemed. With numbers came courage. Who would still fear him. With the mentality of not taking advantage for nothing, temporarily joining in was entirely possible.

If the details of the battle at Drunken Immortal Lake were also concealed, then the chance of success would indeed be high.

After a brief pause, Wang Yu continued to ask.

“Is there any news of fourth rank heavenly materials and earthly treasures?”

The black coffin cultivator was taken aback.

“Other than the widely known Blood Infant Fruit, the Corrosion Yin Hall within the Blood Demon Sea should also have such opportunities. It is said to have been built by a Spirit Transformation cultivator who fell in this place.

“Every two hundred years, during the thirty years when the Blood Abyss opens, it will randomly appear in the Blood Demon Sea. Countless opportunities and secret treasures are within. There should be items that meet your needs.”

Corrosion Yin Hall.

Wang Yu shook his head. A beam of deathly light suddenly shot out from his brow. Before the black coffin cultivator could recover his senses, the Core Extracting Hand easily dug out a golden core.

Only then did he use a soul searching technique to inspect his memories.

The fragmented memory pieces confirmed the truth of the information. Regarding the Corrosion Yin Hall, the appearance of one particular term made Wang Yu realize that it was time to leave Blood Beast Valley.

“Someone has actually discovered the Luo Sheng Blood Fruit.”

This item.

According to the intelligence jade slips of the Zhuo and Zuoqiu clans, it was a fourth rank divine sense type rare treasure. Even Nascent Soul cultivators could greatly increase their divine sense by consuming it.

However, to obtain it, one had to pass the trial of the Blood Slaughter Stone Stele. This strange object was located within the Corrosion Yin Hall and did not appear every time the Blood Abyss opened.

So far, no concrete pattern of its appearance had been found. It was only known that the last time it appeared was six hundred years ago.

For this reason, it had not been included in Wang Yu’s original plans. Unexpectedly, it had appeared this time.

“Corrosion Yin Hall, Blood Slaughter Stone Stele, Luo Sheng Blood Fruit.”

Wang Yu had already guessed that Zhuo Shouyun would be waiting to ambush him there.

If he could win this time, the contest within the Blood Abyss would end with his victory. As long as the situation outside went smoothly, the struggle between the two Zhuo factions would be considered won.

After two years of cultivation and refinement, two thirds of the Guanghan Pill had been digested. His strength had increased rapidly, just reaching the peak of the sixth layer of Core Formation.

His maximum mana had increased to five thousand six hundred. With only four hundred more mana needed, he could touch the peak of the middle stage. Wang Yu quickly made his decision.

“First gather all the materials to refine the Returning True Spirit Pill. After breaking through to the seventh layer, I will take a trip to the Corrosion Yin Hall.”

He then shifted his gaze toward the Blood Beast King.

It was time for the old companion to make its exit.
