Su Xing's brows furrowed tighter as he saw the simulated text.
"No need for Spiritual Energy, no cultivation of the Spiritual Root... to cultivate just by relying on blood vitality?"
"This... this is surely a defiance of the natural order!"
After a pause, Su Xing voiced his confusion:
"However, who exactly is the Blood Immortal... to truly create such a heaven-defying Cultivation Technique, could he really be an Immortal?"
"Could it be... the Blood Immortal, is none other than that Damned Dragon?"
Su Xing's heart tightened, but he quickly shook his head in denial.
"Impossible, with the Damned Dragon's Cultivation Level at the Return to Void Realm, he could not have created such a heaven-defying Cultivation Technique!"
"For one to create such a Technique, undoubtedly their Dao Comprehension is profound, at least at the level of an Immortal, or even higher!"
Although Su Xing did not know the Cultivation Level needed to fully comprehend the Great Dao, he imagined it must be something beyond the reach of an Immortal.
Even ordinary Immortals might not possess such deep comprehension of the Great Dao.
"The Blood Immortal probably is not that Damned Dragon... but there must be a significant connection between them..."
"Could it be, the Blood Immortal is the leader of the Descending Sect, the Damned Dragon's superior?"
At this thought, Su Xing inhaled sharply.
"How could it be... the leader of the Descending Sect, an Immortal!?"
Su Xing slightly shook his head, not daring to make such a hasty judgment with the information at hand.
However, there must be some connection between the Blood Immortal and the Descending Sect...
"Well, I might as well continue reading..."
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[You collected the bodies of these Golden Core cultivators and carefully inspected their storage rings.]
[Inside the storage rings, you found several bottles of unusual elixirs.]
[These elixirs were round and red, each one as large as a fist.]
[You took out an elixir and observed it carefully, only to find that it was filled with Karma and violent power, as if it had been refined using blood...]
[You brought it close to your nose and sniffed, your complexion suddenly changing. The rich scent of blood on the elixir did not come from animal blood, but from human blood!]
[The energy within the elixir was very similar to Spiritual Energy, but it carried a heavy malevolence. Long-term consumption might enhance one's Cultivation Level, but it would likely harm one's lifespan...]
[You quickly understood that this elixir was likely what the cultivators of this realm needed for their practice...]
[After storing the elixirs away, you swiftly sought to leave the place.]
[But just as you had fled a few dozen miles, you were pursued by cultivators from the Blood Demon Sect.]
[Several Nascent Soul cultivators, along with a Divinity Transformation cultivator wielding a nefarious magic artifact, launched an attack towards you.]
[You stood in place, frowning slightly, and with a wave of your hand, you cut down all the cultivators.]
[The sole Divinity Transformation cultivator appeared to want to flee.]
[But you effortlessly captured this Divinity Transformation cultivator and began an interrogation.]
[Under intense questioning, you soon learned of the exact location and strength of the Blood Demon Sect.]
[According to this Divinity Transformation cultivator, there were practitioners of the Return to Void Realm stationed within the Blood Demon Sect, and there were rumors of the Blood Dragon Ancestor, who threatened you to release him, otherwise you would surely meet a certain death.]
[You merely scoffed at this, regretting that you had not cultivated the Soul Searching Technique. Otherwise, you could have effortlessly extracted more information from this Divinity Transformation cultivator's soul.]
[But at that moment, all you could do was suppress his Divine Soul and extract more information from him.]
[As you suppressed his Divine Sense, you noticed the aura of this Divinity Transformation cultivator was ethereal. Although he was in the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation, his strength was likely only equivalent to the initial stage of the same realm.]
[Moreover, the cultivator's breath was deep, his lifespan fading...]
[Yet, from the cultivator's face you could see the indelible mark of death; it seemed most of his lifespan had been consumed, and his days were numbered.]
[You asked how long he had been practising Cultivation. Pressured by you, he dared not hide the truth, honestly answering that he was one hundred and seventy years old, having cultivated for over a hundred and sixty years...]
[Hearing this, you frowned slightly. The aura of this Divinity Transformation cultivator was decaying, and he had at most twenty or thirty years remaining... Normally, for a Divinity Transformation cultivator, a lifespan of a thousand years wasn't an issue, and with life-extending substances, living to one thousand five hundred years was not difficult.]
[It became clear to you, the methods of this sinister Cultivation severely drained one's lifespan! His life expectancy was less than a fifth of that of cultivators at the same realm!]
[At the same time, you were astounded; a person without a Spiritual Root had managed to reach the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation in just over a hundred and sixty years, a Cultivation talent that came close to a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator!]
[You wished to continue questioning this Divinity Transformation cultivator, yet he still offered you a minor threat. In the end, it seemed as if he saw something terrifying, showing a painful expression, and within minutes, he fell to the ground lifeless.]
[After the death of this Divinity Transformation cultivator, his face aged rapidly, and he became thin as a rake... It seemed his vitality, spirit, and Essence had been sucked dry.]
[In just a few breaths, he changed from a middle-aged man to an old wreck, eventually turning into a dried corpse.]
[Grudges and Karma entwined above the dried corpse, and even his Divine Soul was wiped clean.]
[You were surprised and immediately used your Divine Sense to inspect the body.]
[However, beneath the corpse, you discovered a bug the size of a thumb!]
[It was a Gu Insect!]
[Entirely red, wrapped in grudges and blood scent, it gave off an extremely malicious vibe.]
[If you were not mistaken, the rapid withering of this Divinity Transformation cultivator's body was due to the Gu Insect devouring all his blood vitality, Cultivation, and even his Divine Soul.]
[You channeled your Spiritual Power and captured the Gu Insect.]
[Once you caught it, the Gu Insect stared at you with resentment and malice, its sesame seed-sized eyes blood red, seemingly highly intelligent.]
