Chapter 1075: Chapter 376: Innate Comprehension, Observing All Mysteries (Double-Length Chapter)

The Blood River lineage claims to inherit Witch Blood, and their Seventh Heavenly Layer realm is named after the Witch Blood.

By the Eighth Heavenly Layer Spiritual Fetal realm, seemingly guided by destiny, Blood River cultivators, like the Taoist alchemical cultivators who challenge them most, begin to take a path of embracing and integrating diverse practices.

This realm is named after "Spiritual," first integrating the Way of the Witchcraft Spirit to achieve one’s heart of the fetal soul, thereby enhancing regeneration under the condensation of the heart’s blood.

Then, they integrate the Way of the Witchcraft Worm to forge the bones of the fetal soul, further enhancing physical body defense and support.

Integrating the Way of the Witchcraft Soul, they cultivate to the three levels of the Eighth Heavenly Layer, gaining fetal thought, which boosts the intimidation of one’s killing intent, causing greater mental deterrence and damage to the enemy.

Finally, integrating the Way of the Witchcraft Aura to gain fetal aura, they can refine the Nether Qi of Life and Death—only achievable at the Ninth Heavenly Layer in other paths—for further enhancing the deadly power of one’s supernatural powers and mana at the Perfection state of the Eighth Heavenly Layer.

And Xing Feng’s command of the Power of Life and Death’s Nether surpasses other Eighth Heavenly Layer Perfection state Blood River cultivators.

Furthermore, his spiritual soul’s resilience far exceeds that of others at his level within the Blood River cultivators.

He is naturally talented, also involved with some unusual fateful encounters.

Though not as bloodthirsty as previous seniors of the Blood River Sect, Xing Feng has also advanced rapidly along his cultivation path.

He is not shy about taking action when necessary.

"This Earth Sea battle is a rare experience for him,"

Lei Jun commented, "Although slower than Li Tianqing, after this event, Xing Feng should also progress quickly."

Sun Li nodded gently, agreeing with Lei Jun’s assessment.

"The waves of the Grand River propel the new, surpassing the old," he smiled, "From my perspective, I am grateful for this fellow of the Blood River Sect, Xing."

The other party essentially helped them avoid a disaster.

While Sun Li is unafraid of Yuan Shanji, he is not warlike; less trouble is always better than more.

Lei Jun’s Ritual Instrument is stable; the environment within the Earth Sea is calm.

Over time, the Morning Sun Precious Wood Sun Li was refining finally reached perfection.

He beckoned upwards with his hand.

The Morning Sun Precious Wood, now shrunken to the size of a mere wooden stick, automatically rose from the soil and landed in Sun Li’s hand.

The stick was dark as ink, but its surface was covered with fine silver patterns.

After staring at this Precious Wood for a while, Sun Li exhaled a long breath and then stowed it away.

Lei Jun, standing aside, said, "Congratulations, Senior."

Sun Li waved his hand repeatedly, "Celestial Master, no need for such words; I should thank you instead..."

Halfway through his words, his actions paused slightly, and his gaze turned to the distance.

Someone was approaching from afar.

Not someone from Jiuli.

Instead, it was Feng Gui, the current Holy Master of the Witchcraft Sect’s Cursed Prayer lineage from the Tang Dynasty Human Realm’s Southern Wilderness Sacred Land, Samsara Abyss.

Sun Li’s expression remained calm as he smiled to greet the approaching party, "Holy Master."

After Feng Gui approached, he first saluted Lei Jun, "In the presence of the Celestial Master, Feng Gui extends respectful greetings. In the past, when the Celestial Master ascended to manage Dragon Tiger Mountain, Feng was unable to attend the ceremony, for which I apologize and ask for your understanding."

Lei Jun returned the gesture, "Feng Layman is too kind, I have long admired the layman’s demeanor."

After their mutual greetings, Feng Gui turned to Sun Li, "Junior Brother Sun, you are indeed considerate. Even someone as comfortable as you has ventured into the Earth Sea for the Human Realm today, increasing our cultivators’ chances of victory."

Sun Li laughed, "I am not good with words, but Master Brother’s teachings, I have thoroughly absorbed."

Feng Gui: "Your great advancement in cultivation is the best outcome."

Lei Jun observed quietly, without interjecting.

When he first arrived in the Southern Wilderness, during the uprising caused by Wei Ancheng, it was clear that as an elder of Samsara Abyss, Sun Li often acted on his own accord.

Now that he’s advanced greatly in cultivation and strength, how much of this has Feng Gui heard?

At least currently, Feng Gui seems to harbor some wariness and caution towards Sun Li.

But what are Sun Li’s thoughts on this?

"Celestial Master, when you perform your ritual, do you require protectors?" Feng Gui turned to question Lei Jun at this point.

Lei Jun shook his head, "The Ritual Instrument is nearly complete; we don’t need to stay here any longer. Feng Layman leads Samsara Abyss, which is an important responsibility, so there’s no need to stay because of my humble self."

Feng Gui heard this, glanced at Sun Li beside him, then withdrew his gaze to bid farewell to Lei Jun:

"Celestial Master is quite right, the current situation is not yet settled. I shall proceed ahead, and after the unrest in the Earth Sea is quelled, I will visit the Celestial Master again."

Lei Jun, "To calm the chaos, Layman Feng, thank you for your diligence."

Sun Li did not depart, smiling, "Master Brother, take your time."

Feng Gui looked at him one last time, nodded slightly, and left to rejoin the others from Samsara Abyss.

After his figure disappeared from view, Sun Li sighed softly, "He overthinks things."

Lei Jun did not comment on this, only saying, "Senior, Master Xu and Sister Tang are both in the Earth Sea right now, and Senior Xu is also not in the Human Realm. Though our sect’s mountain gate is overseen by my Master, the current situation in the Tang Dynasty Human Realm is intricate and could change at any moment. For precautions, might I ask you to return to the Human Realm to look after things? Please excuse the interruption to your cultivation."

Sun Li, rarely interested in others’ affairs, had a different attitude when asked by Lei Jun, especially when it involved Yuan Mobai:

"It’s not a problem at all. I have no pressing matters anyhow. Although I have benefited from the Celestial Master’s grace, offering me opportunities and increased confidence to reach the Ninth Heavenly Layer, it’s not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires careful preparation and is not in a hurry."

Lei Jun, "That’s excellent, thank you, Senior."

Sun Li pondered slightly before finally speaking again, unable to hold back, "Celestial Master, your previous injury..."

Lei Jun, "As long as I’m not fighting, it’s nothing serious."

Sun Li nodded lightly, observing the manner in which Celestial Master Lei orchestrated and conducted the ritual, he could already discern this.

Lei Jun quietly regarded the other, "The Earth Sea environment is unique, and my humble self is inspired by Seniors, searching for unique opportunities here as well."

No wonder he insisted on entering the Earth Sea and not leaving.

Is it a method for rapid healing, or something else?

Though speculation arose in Sun Li’s heart, he refrained from probing further, "Though the Earth Sea comes with many inconveniences, it does indeed harbor ample opportunities and Spiritual Objects. With the Celestial Master’s good fortune and considerable luck, you’re bound to reap some rewards."

Lei Jun, "Thank you for your auspicious words, Senior."

Sun Li responded, "In that case, I shall take my leave."

After bidding farewell to Lei Jun, he quietly departed from the Earth Sea, returning to the Human Realm.

Having traveled with Lei Jun, his connections to the Celestial Master Mansion are no longer a secret.

However, Sun Li did not choose to openly visit Yuan Mobai on Dragon Tiger Mountain on this trip.

Upon reaching Dragon Tiger Mountain, after informing Yuan Mobai, he quietly found a secluded cave mansion outside the main peak to reside alone.

In the Earth Sea, Lei Jun simultaneously traveled toward the location Tang Xiaotang mentioned discovering the Great Void Bindi Lotus while also communicating with someone:

"Big Senior Brother, where are you now?"

Wang Guiyuan’s voice entered his ear, "I’ve reached Canglang Rock. I can see the black lotus you left."

.........

The Tang Dynasty Human Realm.

Near the Zhongzhou borderlands.

A typically unvisited valley was bustling with people at this moment.

The valley was concealed by an invisible force.

A vast ink lake, formed from incomprehensible dark ink, occupied the valley.

The dense ink solidified completely, transforming into solid form.

A gigantic, unparalleled black chess piece seemed to have emerged within the valley.

Ye Yao of the Qingzhou Ye Clan was at the forefront, holding a scroll, followed by a group of Ye Clan disciples.

As Ye Yao raised the scroll in sacrifice, the scroll hovered in mid-air.

Ye Yao led everyone to bow to the scroll from afar.

The scroll’s accumulated cultural and refined energy transformed into flowing light, merging into the gigantic black chess piece occupying the entire valley.

The entire chess piece vibrated once.

Intense tremors permeated deeply underground, extending in all directions along with the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi.

As it extended, it combined with other tremor sources to form an overlay.
