Cultivation Begins with Skill Points - Chapter 533 - 534: Be My Dog

Chapter 533: Chapter 534: Be My Dog

Sealing God Capturing Thought Devouring Element Array.

A formation that is both strong and fragile. If destroyed from the inside, it will only serve as nourishment for the array, but from the outside, perhaps just a Xuandan realm martial artist could easily shatter it.

“So all these years you’ve been tirelessly projecting the ’Blood Demon Technique’ outside just to cultivate a Xuandan realm martial artist to aid you in breaking the array?”

Gao Ran, whose scheme was exposed, could no longer maintain his so-called righteous image and became mad, sinister, and hysterical.

“You are very weak now, your own Qi-blood and spiritual origin have reached their limit, and you are like a candle in the wind, at most you have ten years left before you completely perish.”

Thud!

The once arrogant Gao Ran fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowing incessantly to Zhong Lin as if toppling golden mountains and jade pillars.

“Save me, save me, I can be your dog, your most loyal hound, serve you as a master, as long as you can save me, I am willing to offer my all.” Gao Ran pleaded loudly, full of fawning.

“Alright!”

Zhong Lin nodded and flicked his finger at the chains.

Crack!

With a clear sound, the chains shattered like broken porcelain, fragmenting into pieces and falling to the ground.

Kneeling Gao Ran was momentarily stunned, initially pondering what price he would have to pay, what humble plea he needed to make, even contemplating sacrificing his freedom, yet he didn’t expect that with just a word, he would be set free.

“Come, call me master.”

Zhong Lin looked down at Gao Ran with a smiling expression on his face.

“Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha.”

Gao Ran laughed wildly, and with his laughter, the entire Blood Cave trembled continuously, the flesh placenta swirling outside turned into streams of blood flowing back into his body, and as the blood returned, his aura constantly surged.

Xuandan.

Yin Yang.

Life and Death First Level.

Life and Death Second Level.

Life and Death Fifth Layer.

Life and Death Seventh Layer.

…

Finally, his aura stayed at the eighth layer of the Life and Death realm, a terrifying blood Qi shot straight into the sky, like dark clouds sweeping around, covering the entire sky above the Xuan Gui Continent.

On the Xuan Gui Continent, be it the sects or mundane cities, they all saw the image of blood clouds covering the sky at this moment. Although they didn’t know exactly what this was, the bloody, horrifying aura emanating from the blood clouds instilled in them a fear of death.

“What a terrible laugh.”

Having waited for Gao Ran to regain his strength, Zhong Lin suddenly reached out and gripped his head.

“Ah! This is impossible.”

Gao Ran’s laughter abruptly stopped. Feeling the terrifying power contained in the hand, he instinctively roared, his blood origin burned brightly, transforming into waves of light attempting to break free of your grasp.

“Pathetic resistance.”

Zhong Lin’s eyes slightly fluctuated, and applying a bit of pressure to his palm, Gao Ran’s hardest skull instantly cracked with several fractures.

“Master, please don’t.”

Gao Ran screamed, begging loudly.

“Now behave!”

Zhong Lin released his grip satisfactorily, leaving Gao Ran to slump to the ground, suppressing the excruciating pain from the fractures in his skull, kowtowing at his feet, face full of sycophancy, not daring any form of defiance.

“Tell me, who sealed you here?”

“Do not dare to deceive you, master. It was the sect hierarch who sealed me here.”

Zhong Lin frowned: “Demon Emperor You Boxi?”

“Yes.”

“You’re lucky to still be alive!”

Demon Emperor You Boxi, sect hierarch of the Nine Nether Sacred Land, an imperial realm powerhouse. Simply being thought of by such a powerhouse, it’s a wonder he was only tormented, otherwise even a single finger could grind Gao Ran to death.

At the same time, a vigilant fear arose within. Since he was sealed here by Demon Emperor You Boxi, it means the Xuan Gui Continent is not in fact secretive, and he himself is exposed under the eyes of a supreme powerhouse.

At this moment, Zhong Lin even suspects a pair of eyes in the void are watching him.

The feeling of having life and death in the hands of others left him quite uncomfortable.

“Can you still return to the Nine Nether Demon Sect now?” Zhong Lin asked again.

“Sect hierarch said as long as I could break the seal, I could wash away my sins and return to the Holy Land.” Gao Ran said.

“Alright, open your mind.”

Although Gao Ran knew the procedure to be unavoidable, the thought of losing his hard-earned freedom still left him a bit unwilling.

Coldness flashed in Zhong Lin’s eyes.

Swoosh!

A light sound, then a sword Qi went straight through his heart.

Intense pain swept through his body.

Though this injury was minor for someone at the Eighth Layer Heaven of the Life and Death realm, the powerlessness terrified him immensely.

“Master, no.”

Gao Ran quickly opened his mind, and the next moment, a strand of Sword Intent entered his primordial pill, spiraling at the core.

Gao Ran could feel the purity and terror of this Sword Intent, a slight movement would obliterate his Xuandan.

The Xuandan is fundamental to a martial artist, destruction leads to a fate of dissipation.

With the Sword Intent embedded, Zhong Lin finally smiled.

The Xuandan being a martial artist’s core is never exposed to others, even to the closest ones, and for Gao Ran, as a demon cultivator, trust in others is naturally minimal, so the likelihood of this Sword Intent being discovered is low. Gao Ran himself lacks the capability to extinguish this Sword Intent; he simply doesn’t have that power.

In this way, Gao Ran falls completely under control, a thought can scatter his soul.

“Junior Brother, come in.”

Zhong Lin transmitted his voice through the void, and after a moment, Shi Yunyi cautiously flew in from outside the cave.

“Senior Brother, an anomaly has occurred outside, blood clouds cover the sky, evil spirits abound, could it be…”

Upon seeing Gao Ran kneeling at Zhong Lin’s feet, he immediately fell silent.

“Senior Brother, what is going on here?”

“Well! This is the source of the Blood Cave, Gao Ran, an elder of the Nine Nether Demon Sect.” Zhong Lin shrugged.

Shi Yunyi: “…”

“But now he has my Sword Intent, no worries.”

“Well… Senior Brother, isn’t it bad for us to associate with people from the Demon Sect? Didn’t you say the Demon Sect has no good people and are a scourge in the Qingyuan World?” Shi Yunyi softly said.

“Indeed, no good people, but it would be wasteful to kill him outright; we can use this to our advantage, like sending you into the Nine Nether Demon Sect.”

“Wha… what?”

Shi Yunyi seemed not to have heard clearly, bewildered written all over his face.

“To gain enough power in a hundred years, simply relying on cultivation isn’t enough, and awakening your Royal Blood is your greatest aid, is it not?” Zhong Lin said.

Shi Yunyi is not foolish, instantly discerning Zhong Lin’s intention.

As a descendant of Sin Blood, he couldn’t expose himself, and only the Nine Nether Demon Sect would accept him, so seeking to awaken the Royal Blood within him, the Nine Nether Demon Sect becomes the sole option.
