The more one traveled towards the peak of Qian Yuan Mountain, the denser the Heaven and Earth Holy Qi became, condensing into a purple haze that was like a sea of clouds that surrounded the void.
The Heaven and Earth Sacred Qi seemed to be erupting from the top of the mountain, and only in the end did it gradually descend to the bottom of the mountain again.
The mountain of Qian Yuan Mountain was exceptionally huge and unattainable, high enough to be compared to the Ancient Divine Mountain of the Two Element Sect, and when placed in the sea, it was a large island that wouldn’t look crowded even if it survived 100,000 people.
The mountain path was rugged, both sides were filled with thousand year old pines, ten thousand year old spirit vines, and everywhere one could see some precious spirit medicines, such as human shaped fruits and bushel sized golden ganoderma.
They were all things that had masters, planted by the Blood God Sect’s seniors, and whoever dared to steal and pick them would risk their lives.
Roughly six thousand meters into the Qian Yuan Mountain, close to the purple haze clouds, a cave mansion with sacred qi churning appeared.
Outside the cave, many cultivators were gathered.
The vast majority of them looked very young, appearing handsome and extraordinary, all of them were dragons and phoenixes among men, and had a very honorable position in the Blood God Sect.
There, it was none other than the Blood God Sect’s Holy Maiden’s Linlang Cave, an extremely high grade cave, alongside the saints’ caves.
A young male wearing a blood robe stood outside the cave mansion, staring in Zhang Ruochen’s direction, saying, “Another person has rushed to the banquet.”
“Who is that person, how come I’ve never seen him before?”
“Lingyun, you’ve been practicing in the Barbarian Desert Mysteries for years, so naturally, you don’t know that a very powerful figure has recently emerged from the sect, killing Ning Guihai and defeating Bai Yu and Yan Kongming. This person, is called Gu Linfeng.”
The gazes of those Divine Son candidates all stared towards Bai Yu.
On Bai Yu’s face, he was somewhat unable to hang on and hummed, “He only managed to win by chance with the power of the Blood God Compass. Moreover, the technique he practiced was only the ghost level upper grade Blood Dragon Sutra.”
“So it was planted with the Blood God Compulsion.”
“Someone who cultivates a ghost grade technique is also qualified to be a divine son candidate?”
The crowd immediately lost interest.
Being divine Son Candidates, every one of them was very arrogant, either possessing a powerful physique or cultivating a supreme miracle technique, none of them were simple characters.
The divine Son Candidates had already secretly resolved to think of a way to expel Gu Linfeng. Not anyone was qualified to attend Her Highness the Holy Maiden’s banquet.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Gu Linfeng didn’t stop at all and marched straight to the top of the mountain.
“What the hell is the meaning of this? Did he not receive an invitation from Her Highness the Holy Maiden?”
Someone couldn’t help but laugh, “Her Highness the Holy Maiden doesn’t send invitations to anyone, Gu Linfeng’s strength is obviously still a bit short.”
Bai Yu, however, frowned because he knew very well that Her Highness the Holy Maiden had sent someone to send an invitation to Gu Linfeng.
“What an arrogant fellow, how dare he not come to the banquet, surely he will be hated by Her Highness the Holy Maiden, in the future, his days in the Blood God Sect will be very difficult.”Bai Yu’s heart sneered coldly.
The Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect naturally also saw Gu Lin Feng’s departing figure, and a puzzled look appeared in her eyes, it was hard to understand that Gu Lin Feng, who had always been very pleasing to her, would not come to the banquet.
Of course, the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect didn’t put too much stock in it, in her eyes, Gu Linfeng’s strength was indeed slightly stronger than Bai Yu and Yan Kongming’s stream.
However, he was simply not comparable to the likes of Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxing, and could not possibly become a Divine Son.
With Gu Linfeng’s heart, it was quite good to utilize him as a pawn and do things for her, which was not bad at all.
Zhang Ruochen kept following behind Ji Shui, walking between the purple holy haze, climbing roughly 20,000 meters before finally reaching the top of the mountain.
The peak of Qian Yuan Mountain towered above the purple sea of clouds.
At the center of the mountaintop, a pillar of purple light erupted out, connecting with the dome of the sky, seemingly rushing out of the realm.
The Blood God Diagram was inscribed on top of a stone wall that was nineteen feet tall.
An old gray-robed discarnate man sat at the edge of the position below the Blood God Diagram, as if he was a clay statue, his aura completely astringent, and no fluctuations in his aura could be felt.
Zhang Ruochen saw that the old man’s body was covered in mud, and on his shoulders and the top of his head, there was even moss growing, and it was unknown how many years it had not moved a bit.
“Since this senior has died, why wasn’t he buried?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
There was not a single fluctuation of life in the old man’s body, so he was clearly dead.
“Don’t talk nonsense, this Supreme Elder sits here to guard the Blood God Diagram, and his seniority in the sect is extremely high, one generation higher than even the sect master.”
Although, Ji Shui said so, her heart was not bottomless.
It was not the first time she had come to participate in the Blood God Diagram, yet, she had never seen this Supreme Elder move a bit, no different from a dead body.
Since it was a figure at the level of a Taishang Elder, be it alive or dead, Zhang Ruochen didn’t dare to take offense easily, and pressed down the urge to use her spiritual power to probe, fixing her gaze towards the Blood God Diagram.
It was said to be The Blood God Diagram, but it was actually just a piece of jagged cliff wall, with no pattern visible, no different from a naturally formed stone wall.
Zhang Ruochen frowned, somewhat skeptical, was the Blood God Diagram really as divine as Ji Shui said?
“Fake, it’s definitely fake, it’s simply a piece of ordinary stone wall, it’s impossible to comprehend any Ghastly Divine Skills.”A voice came from below the stone wall.
Zhang Ruochen followed the voice and saw, a red-haired monkey, sitting on the bottom of the Blood God Diagram, shaking his head non-stop.
That red-haired monkey stood up, obviously not wanting to continue wasting time on comprehending the Blood God Diagram, and marched down the mountain.
It was only then that Zhang Ruochen could see that he was not a monkey, but a person.
Only, on his body, there was scarlet monkey hair growing, and even a tail hanging out.
“Spirit monkey half-human race.”Zhang Ruochen let out a light eep.
The Spirit Monkey Demi-Human Race had the longest lifespan amongst all the Demi-Human Races, enough to be compared to the Savage Beasts.
They lived on an oceanic island in the Eastern Sea and rarely appeared in the Kunlun Realm, and at this moment, a Spirit Monkey Demi-human Race clansman appeared in the Blood God Sect, so naturally, Zhang Ruochen was still a bit surprised.
That Spirit Monkey Demi-Human Clan member looked to be only in his teens, much like the Sea Spirit Seal, very much like a teenager.
However, Zhang Ruochen knew that the Spirit Monkey Demi-Human Race had a long lifespan, and one could not judge his age by looking at an ordinary human.
That teenager from the Spirit Monkey Demi-Human Race walked past Zhang Ruochen and glanced at him, saying, “Don’t waste your time comprehending some bullsh*t Blood God Diagram, it’s basically something that cheats people.”
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “Since I’ve already come here, I always have to give it a try.”
That teenager from the Spirit Monkey Half-Human Race took a closer look at Zhang Ruochen and said, “That’s not right! You should also be a Divine Son candidate, right?”
“That’s right.”
Zhang Ruochen asked again, “What’s wrong?”
“Today, isn’t Her Highness the Holy Maiden hosting a banquet for all the Divine Son Candidates, and you didn’t go to the banquet, so why did you come here to waste time instead?”That Spirit Monkey Half-Human Race teenager said.
“Didn’t you not go as well?”Zhang Ruochen said.
That Spirit Monkey Half-Human Race teenager somewhat poofed his nose and said, “Even if you went, you were just an accompaniment. Only Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxing are the honored guests of Her Highness the Holy Book, and the new Divine Son is bound to be born between these two. For the rest, it would be strange for Her Highness the Holy Book to look at them.”
“I also think so.”?After saying this, Zhang Ruochen walked over towards the bottom of the Blood God Diagram and sat down on his knees, adjusting his state of mind as he watched towards the stone wall above.
“Someone actually dares to not buy Her Highness the Holy Maiden’s account as well, that’s a bit interesting.”
That Spirit Monkey half-human teenager, revealing a curious expression and not leaving, bumped Ji Shui’s back with his tail and asked, “Big sister, who exactly is this person?”
“Stay away from me.”Ji Shui said coldly.
The Spirit Monkey Demi-Human teenager, stared at her with some confusion, so he bumped her with his tail again and asked, “Why?”
Ji Shui stared at the Spirit Monkey Demi-Human Race teenager’s tail, the blood mist on her body rolled over, and two black pillars of light rushed out from underneath her even cap.
The teenager’s figure flickered, dodging the two pillars of light.
With a boom, the two pillars of light struck the ground, melting the rocks on the ground.
“I just casually asked, why do I need to make a move?”
The Spirit Monkey half-human teenager, transformed into a fiery light, moved half a circle sideways and appeared on the other side of Ji Shui.
“When did the Blood God Sect, pop up such a strong person?”In Ji Shui’s heart, he was quite surprised and did not dare to underestimate this person.
Just now, the speed displayed by this person was surprisingly not below her, and was by no means a generalized person.
“This big sister really isn’t easy to get along with at all.”
That teenager from the Spirit Monkey Half-Human Race shook his head, not continuing to question Ji Shui, and walked over towards the Blood God Sect’s Supreme Elder, who was sitting on a plate not far away.
His tail, once again sticking out, bumped the right shoulder of the Supreme Elder and asked, “Old man, the so-called Blood God Diagram, it should be a fake, right?”
That Supreme Elder, like a stone statue, sat on the ground, motionless.
“So it’s a dead man.”
The spirit monkey half-human teenager frowned and sighed, “The disciples of the Blood God Sect, are also too disrespectful to their seniors, since they are already dead, they should be buried in the ground.”
Below the stone wall, the teenager found a corner and dug a large pit roughly two meters deep.
Afterwards, he carried the “corpse” of that Supreme Elder on his shoulder and walked over to the big pit.
Even so, the body of that Supreme Elder was still in a seated position, with all the muscles and bones of his body very stiff, and his eyes tightly closed, not awakened.
He placed that Supreme Elder into the large pit, and then, using mud and stones, began to fill it in.
Ji Shui had been holding his breath as he watched all of this, a little heart-stopping, fearing that that Supreme Elder would suddenly come to life, and in his anger, he would kill everyone present.
Ji Shui saw that the Supreme Elder had not awakened, and only then gradually breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thought in his heart that perhaps his old man had really died a long time ago.
