Chapter 717 Distributing Treasures, Blood Transformation(ENEMY) Attacks
Hearing this, Dorian (Person Name) shook his head with a wry smile. Spatial spirit treasures were already exceptionally rare, let alone a sixth-tier Pure Yang spirit treasure.
The Zijie human race possessed only 3 spatial Pure Yang spiritual treasures: the Great Cosmos Vessel, the Ganges Quiet Spirit Realm, and the Zihuan Void-Sojourning Mirror.
Among the 3 Pure Yang Spirit Treasures, the Violet Cosmos Void-Traversing Mirror had been lost for many years, the Great Universe Vase was still needed to suppress the Demonic Abyss Heaven Scar, while the Ganges Quiet Spirit Realm served as the foundational treasure of the Quiet Spirit Ancient Temple—the dominant power in the Western Extremity Desert.
Although Dorian also wished to slay the Blood God Ancestor, it was unfortunate that the Ji Clan maintained only a cordial relationship with the Serene Spirit Ancient Temple. Most likely, they would be unable to borrow this treasure.
At this thought, a faint smile graced the lips of Saint Lord Dorian. "Though we failed to slay the Blood God Ancestor this time, reclaiming our ancestral spirit island has fulfilled a wish I've held for many years."
"Hmm, from now on we too have a cultivation dojo of our own."
Caelum the Wavestrider (Person Name) also nodded, a faint smile inadvertently gracing his lips.
他就看了一眼战场上的众人,然后又说道:“先把这些魔修清理干净吧,我们还得清理岛上的Demonic Fiend Qi (Spiritual Root)和血煞,这还得花费不少的功夫。”
As the Blood Demon Ancestor retreated in defeat, countless demonic cultivators on the scene began to flee in frenzy. Yet, faced with 2 Eldrin Dao Lords (Cultivation Realm) who now had their hands free, how could they possibly have any chance of escaping with their lives?
In the end, among the several 100 Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators, only a handful who had foreseen the danger and acted swiftly managed to escape. The vast majority of cultivators were slain upon the Blood God Island.
Yet, this Blood God Island spanned a full 8,000,000 li. Rather than an island, it resembled a vast continent, inhabited by countless low-level demon cultivators.
Countless low-level demonic cultivators were hidden throughout the continent. Even if the Ji Clan managed to occupy these lands, it would likely take them hundreds of years to thoroughly purge them all.
After swiftly clearing out the low-level demonic cultivators, the Ji Clan took full possession of the entire Blood God Island.
After securing the spirit island, Dorian specifically summoned Eldrin, Lyra, Qing Ji, and Kael to meet within a temporary great hall.
When Dorian saw Eldrin, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on his face. "Had it not been for you slaying 2 Blood Demon Avatars in succession during this battle, this old man might not have seized the opportunity. The conflict could very well have descended into a stalemate."
"Whatever you desire, even a Grade 5, Superior-grade spirit island, I can grant it to you."
Eldrin pondered briefly, exchanged glances with the others, and said, "Our Chen Clan's foundation lies in the Eastern Wastelands. If we were to claim a spirit island in the Eastern Sea cultivation realm, we could only establish a new branch family there."
"Our clan's strength has not yet reached the point where the 3 Veins Ancient Domain can no longer accommodate us, necessitating the establishment of a branch. Thus, we have already deliberated in advance and wish to request items such as the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root)."
Dorian nodded upon hearing this and said, "Originally, I could have given you the spiritual mountain dojo in Jizhou. However, we have yet to establish a firm foothold and must retain the dojo as a precaution against unforeseen circumstances."
"As for the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root), I can only spare 1 strand for you."
At this point, Dorian revealed a bitter smile.
The Ji Clan had only just replenished their foundational spiritual reserves, yet they had consecutively advanced the Second Spirit and the Dorian (Immortal Sword), while also facilitating the Canglang Sword Immortal's ascension to a mid-tier Pure Yang Immortal Sword. In truth, the treasures remaining in their possession were now quite limited.
In this battle alone, the number of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who fell in combat had reached as many as 5. Just the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) required for compensation would amount to 5 strands—enough to cripple the Ji Clan’s foundation.
Although the Ji Clan had seized the Blood God Island and would soon benefit from the Water Elemental Ancestral Vein—ensuring no shortage of high-grade water-attribute treasures to rapidly bolster their foundation—it was akin to quenching thirst with distant water. Thus, they could only spare a single Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root).
Beside them, Daoist Canglang’s brow twitched slightly. This time, Eldrin and the other 3 had joined forces and actually managed to defeat a Half-Step Primordial Spirit expert—a result that truly exceeded his expectations.
By comparison, even he himself at that very realm might not have been able to best any 1 of them. This clearly showed that all 4 members of the Chen family possessed the potential to cultivate a Divine Soul.
At this thought, he seized the opportunity to say, "After my breakthrough into the Nascent Soul realm, I was blessed by the heavens. At the edge of the Primal World Membrane, I obtained 6 strands of Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root), and 3 still remain."
"I shall take out 1, and add 2 more Water Source Divine Jades, bestowing them all upon you as rewards."
"Many thanks."
The 4 of them hurriedly expressed their gratitude upon hearing this. By this calculation, they would receive a total of 2 Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) and 2 Water Source Divine Jades.
The 4 of them had achieved no small merit in this battle. Yet, to reward each of them with a treasure most precious to the Nascent Soul Realm without a single casualty was truly a generous boon.
It was only because Daoist Canglang had no attachments and no large clan to nurture, unlike Dorian (Person Name), who bore the responsibility of cultivating dozens of family members at the Nascent Soul stage, that he could afford such lavish rewards.
To return to our story, after obtaining 2 strands of Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) and 2 pieces of Water Source Divine Jade, the group bid farewell to the 2 Dao Lords and began their journey back to the sect in the Eastern Wastelands (Location).
Meanwhile, deep within the Ji Province mountain ranges, 2 figures stood side by side.
The figure at the forefront wore flowing black robes, his stature exceptionally towering and majestic—this was none other than Fang Xuan, Patriarch of the Fang Clan. The other was clad in crimson robes, surprisingly none other than Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name).
At this moment, Fang Xuan gazed calmly at the vast 100-1000-mile wilderness before him, his pupils shimmering with profound cold light as he spoke.
Ahead lay the 100 1000 Li Great Wilderness. Through the Chen Family's continuous development over nearly a 1000 years, this land had been transformed into fertile soil rarely seen in the mortal realm, now hosting over 3,000 cities of varying sizes and villages almost too numerous to count.
"As long as you blood sacrifice all the mortals within, not only will you fully recover from your injuries, but you may even have another chance to assault the Nascent Soul realm."
"Cackle, cackle, cackle!"
Within this vast wilderness spanning 1 100 1000 miles, the life force surges like an ocean. There must be at least 10 billion humans dwelling here—no wonder the Chen Family has successively produced so many Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) let out an eerie chuckle, then suddenly turned his penetrating gaze toward Fang Xuan (Person Name). "The Chen family murdered your son, yet you refrain from taking action yourself. How utterly peculiar."
"We human cultivators are different from you demonic practitioners. I can slaughter every last Chen Clan cultivator, but if I were to personally carry out the extermination of their mortal kin, or join you in such an act, it would be no different from severing my own ties with humanity."
"By using your hand, I have succeeded in decimating the Chen Family's millennium-accumulated mortal foundations. That alone is sufficient for me."
"Heh." Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) let out an eerie chuckle upon hearing this. "You human cultivators scheme and plot all day long, yet none dare make a move yourselves. This old man profits from your cowardice for nothing."
Fang Xuan was shrouded in a black robe, his features and expression obscured, yet his gaze pierced through with chilling intensity as he stated, "I've confirmed it. There are still 2 Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) here. Once this is done, they will all be yours."
"I have urgent matters to attend to. I leave this place in your hands."
