Chapter 515: The Evergreen Fairy, Disciple of the Path's Founder

Meng Chong dusted himself off and strode away, his demeanor as if he had just swatted an insect instead of the son of a Realm Master.

The crowd of God Honored beings swallowed their saliva, cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads. This man was a harbinger of doom; he was not someone to be offended.

If he could strike down the son of a Realm Master without hesitation, he would surely show no mercy to them, who had no powerful backers.

"Meng Chong killed the son of the Wan Tao Realm Master, leaving no corpse behind. It won't be long before a Realm Master arrives. I wonder if he can withstand the wrath of a Realm Master?" said one of the God Honored beings beside Zhou Qing Shuang, his face grave.

"He should be fine, right?" Zhou Qing Shuang replied, a hint of worry in her voice.

If Meng Chong dared to kill someone, he must have the backing to do so, right?

The image of Meng Chong's mysterious master flashed through their minds—the weakest among them was a Realm Master, perhaps even surpassing that realm?

"Let's go, we're leaving," Meng Chong waved his hand casually and strode away.

News of Wan Jie's death at Meng Chong's fist spread throughout the Divine Realm once more, and the name of the Heavenly God, Meng Chong, shook the realm again.

Warriors from the Dao Realm who heard of this incident were stunned.

The killing of a Realm Master's son was probably a first in history!

And to leave no corpse behind, not even for the Wan Tao Realm Master, was a blatant show of disregard for the Realm Masters.

The crowd of Supreme Realm warriors was astounded.

While it was true that the Carefree Realm Master possessed sufficient strength to rival the Wan Tao Realm Master, by allowing his disciple to kill the latter's son and leaving no corpse, he had crossed a line among the Realm Masters.

Did he not fear inciting a war among the Realm Masters?

"This world is about to be thrown into chaos!" muttered a Supreme Realm warrior.

In the Tai Kun Realm, the Supreme beings from the Tai Kun Realm walked upon what used to be desolate land, as if searching for something.

Outside the Tai Cang Heavenly Realm, the standoff continued, and Tian Sha whispered with Mei Wu, plotting something.

In the Great Wilderness...

Blood Devil didn't know how many days he had endured inside the cauldron, nor how much excruciating torture he had suffered.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered.

"A great opportunity lies ahead. What's a little pain compared to that?" Blood Devil grit his teeth, his determination unwavering.

Dong!

The lid of the cauldron opened, and the Herb Gatherer appeared.

"Good, good. Every true powerhouse has a resilient will. Without a firm resolve, how can one establish one's path?"

Seeing the satisfaction in the Herb Gatherer's eyes, Blood Devil felt elated. His perseverance had been the right choice; the Herb Gatherer was testing him and laying a solid foundation.

There was a high possibility that this was to establish the foundation for his path!

"The first stage of treatment is complete. I believe you've felt the harmony between your physical body and your divine soul," the Herb Gatherer said.

"Yes, senior!" Blood Devil nodded.

"Come out. The second stage of treatment is about to begin!"

Blood Devil climbed out of the cauldron and noticed a barrel, about the height of a person, in the courtyard.

"Go in," Tian Zi instructed.

Without hesitation, Blood Devil jumped into the barrel.

"The next stage of treatment will also be extremely painful. If you can endure it, your fortune will be even greater, and establishing your path may not be impossible," Tian Zi continued to encourage Blood Devil, painting a tempting picture.

Blood Devil's eyes lit up as if he had been injected with adrenaline. Establishing his path meant that neither the Tai Cang Heavenly Realm nor that person from the Unchanging Divine Temple would be his match!

"Senior, I will definitely endure it!" Blood Devil said solemnly.

"Good!"

Tian Zi's face was filled with satisfaction. He then took out insects, snakes, and all sorts of creatures that made one's scalp tingle, and threw them into the barrel.

Blood Devil couldn't help but swallow, and even he felt his scalp tingle.

"This is the Ten Thousand Spirits Return to the Dragon Technique. If you can endure it, you will obtain the Ten Thousand Spirits Sacred Body!" Tian Zi explained.

Blood Devil's heart raced at the name, and the insects and snakes no longer seemed disgusting or frightening.

Although he didn't know what the Ten Thousand Spirits Sacred Body was, the name itself suggested its extraordinariness.

Finally, Tian Zi took out a black true dragon, only a foot long, but with an extremely powerful aura.

As Tian Zi threw the black true dragon into the barrel, he said solemnly, "Alright, I'm going to seal the Ten Thousand Spirits Barrel now. You can still back out now, but once it starts, it cannot be stopped. The pain of ten thousand spirits drilling into your body is beyond what a human can bear."

"Junior will never regret this decision!" Blood Devil said firmly.

It was a true dragon! Now that it had been thrown into the barrel, it was clear that enduring this trial would bring an incredible opportunity!

"Good, I didn't misjudge you!" Tian Zi's face was filled with satisfaction. He then covered the barrel and, with a pat, revealed an evil smile.

Once he could control the Heavenly Dao to influence all of creation, his might would be comparable to that of Tai Cang, and he would have the confidence to stand against the Unchanging Divine Temple.

And this was just the beginning.

"The Blood Demon is powerful. If I can use this fragment of his soul to trick or even control him, it would be incredibly beneficial. But trying to deceive a ruler of the heavens would be extremely difficult."

Tian Zi felt that he still needed guidance from a Dao Ancestor.

Meng Chong returned to Qinghua Sect and continued his cultivation, delving deeper into his divine abilities and the Way of the Blade. He did not immediately set out for the Dao Realm.

After all, there was currently a Supreme Realm expert in the Dao Realm who hated him enough to tear him limb from limb. Even if he were to go, he would have to keep a low profile.

Time flew by, and Su Lingxiu broke through to the Heavenly Realm.

"Your disciple, Su Lingxiu, has broken through to the Heavenly Realm. Your Dan Medicine Martial Way has reached the Established level."

Li Xuan was in high spirits, as his Dan Medicine Martial Way had also improved.

After Su Lingxiu's breakthrough, Fang Hao and Jiang Buling also broke through one after the other. With this, all five of the Martial Ways had been enhanced.

"With my current strength, suppressing Tai Cang shouldn't be a problem."

Li Xuan felt a surge of confidence.

Of course, the true extent of the Unchanging Divine Temple's power was still unknown. Only by breaking through to the Creation Realm could he truly become fearless!

"I wonder how far Xu Yan has progressed in his cultivation."

Li Xuan looked towards the Dao Realm, where Xu Yan was perceiving the Heavenly Origin and using it to comprehend the Creation Realm.

"He's not far from reaching the Minor Success stage of the Heavenly Realm!"

By perceiving the Heavenly Origin, Xu Yan was not only comprehending the Creation Realm but also greatly aiding his cultivation of the Heavenly Realm.

This was the reason for his rapid progress.

After consolidating her realm, Su Lingxiu quickly left seclusion. She had an important task to accomplish—capturing the core soul of Blood Extremity.

"Has there been any issue with your core soul?"

Su Lingxiu asked as she looked at Blood Extremity in the jar.

"No issues. It's been hiding safely."

Blood Extremity nodded.

"Alright, I'll bring back the part of your soul that's out there."

Su Lingxiu was excited, and she prepared to set out for the Tai Kun Realm immediately.

"Go find Tian Zi. He has something that might interest you."

However, Li Xuan stopped her.

The fragment of the Blood Demon's soul was unique, and Tian Zi wanted to use it to deceive the Blood Demon's main body. But he didn't know how to do so without alerting the Blood Demon, so he left the task to Su Lingxiu.

As a Dan Medicine cultivator who also studied various soul techniques, Su Lingxiu was the perfect candidate to handle this fragment of the Blood Demon's soul.

"Master, what is it? I still need to go find the other part of Blood Extremity's soul."

Su Lingxiu asked curiously.

"It's a fragment of a blood soul, residing within Blood Lingzi's corpse..."

Li Xuan briefly explained the situation with the Blood Demon.

Su Lingxiu's eyes lit up with excitement, "I'll go find him right away!"

Without delay, she rushed to the Great Wilderness and found Tian Zi.

When the Blood Demon emerged from the barrel, he saw a graceful and ethereal girl. Wherever she passed, the plants seemed to come to life, and flowers that were about to bloom did so instantly.

Even more astonishing was the sight of a withered tree sprouting new buds.

"Why does she have the power to bring vitality to all things?"

The Blood Demon was shocked. This affinity with plants, the vibrant energy that followed in her wake, was something he had never encountered before.

Seeing the Herb Gatherer's attitude towards her, he knew that this girl must be extraordinary.

"You're a lucky one."

The Herb Gatherer looked at him with a hint of envy.

"This is Chang Qing Xianzi. Pay your respects. She's a disciple of a Dao Ancestor!"

The Herb Gatherer introduced her.

The Blood Demon was stunned. The girl before him was a disciple of a Dao Ancestor? Dao Ancestors were beings beyond his imagination, capable of creating entire worlds with a single thought, like the Great Wilderness.

And the Great Wilderness was far more powerful than the seven realms of Tai Cang.

As a disciple of a Dao Ancestor, her status was exalted, and her strength must be incredible. No wonder plants flourished and flowers bloomed in her presence!

At that moment, he also confirmed his suspicions about the Herb Gatherer's true identity.

"Paying respects to Chang Qing Xianzi!"

This was a huge opportunity. If he could somehow become a disciple of a Dao Ancestor...

The Blood Demon was thrilled, and despite the Herb Gatherer's gesture for him to remain kneeling, he didn't hesitate to kneel before a girl. Even though it went against his pride as the Blood Demon, the potential gains far outweighed his concerns.

With a wave of her hand, a jade platform appeared on the ground, adorned with various instruments used for soul exploration.

Once again, the Blood Demon was awe-struck. The jade platform and its instruments were completely foreign to him.

"Lie down," Su Lingxiu instructed, her tone still chilly and detached.

Tian Zi stood by, explaining to the Blood Demon, "Quickly lie down. This is your big chance, having Chang Qing Xianzi personally attend to you. Don't resist in any way, understand?"

His expression turned solemn as he finished speaking.

"Yes, senior!" The Blood Demon replied, his voice quivering with suppressed excitement as he quickly lay down on the jade platform.

Hum! Threads of energy, seemingly made of some sort of law, bound him to the platform.

Then, he watched as Chang Qing Xianzi approached the platform and pulled out thin tubes that he had never seen before. She placed one of the tubes on his glabella.

"Soon, you will feel drowsy and fall into a deep sleep. Don't resist it. When you wake up, everything will be different," Chang Qing Xianzi said.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Blood Demon felt a wave of fatigue wash over him, and he fell into a deep slumber, losing consciousness.

Su Lingxiu's excitement grew as she carefully inserted thin, long needles into the Blood Demon's soul. Tian Zi stood by, eagerly assisting her.

"What do you think? Have you discovered anything?" Tian Zi asked eagerly.

"This blood soul is rather unique. When necessary, it can connect with the consciousness of the original soul, and it can even return directly to the original soul," Su Lingxiu explained.

"So, in order to deceive the Blood Demon, we must manipulate this blood soul and ensure that it returns to the Blood Demon's main soul. But to do so without arousing his suspicions requires careful planning to ensure absolute success." She continued as she probed the blood soul.

"Although it can connect with the consciousness of the original soul, this connection is rather vague and only allows for the sharing of sights, sounds, and thoughts. The original soul cannot use this connection to see through our plans, so we don't have to worry about that," she added.

"Now, the Blood Demon probably believes that his blood soul has entered a new world and that this is a great opportunity for him. From my initial examination, it seems that the blood soul exchanged messages with the original soul just a few days ago, sharing their consciousness states."

Su Lingxiu paused, then continued, "Think of a way to make the Blood Demon send more of his soul power here. I will capture some of it for research purposes..."

She grinned at Tian Zi, plotting how to manipulate the Blood Demon into sending more of his soul power, thereby strengthening the blood soul.

Of course, they had to be careful not to enhance the blood soul too much. As for capturing some of the soul power for research and allowing some loss during the transmission, that was normal and wouldn't arouse the Blood Demon's suspicions.

"This blood soul is rather unique. It's almost like a child soul of the Blood Demon, capable of drawing soul power from him. He must have spent a lot of effort and time cultivating it," Su Lingxiu mused.

"When he sends his soul power to enhance the blood soul, you use the power of the Heavenly Dao to create a sense of distance and difficulty, making him realize that sending his power here is extremely taxing and that the distance is vast, preventing him from pinpointing the location..." she instructed Tian Zi.

Su Lingxiu then restored the blood soul, infusing it with some pills and a touch of her own evergreen vitality.

Next, she made some subtle modifications to the blood soul's 'brain', causing two small horn-like protrusions to appear on its head.

"Now, this is what you will tell him..." She said with a mischievous smile.

"Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that?" Tian Zi exclaimed, nodding vigorously in excitement.

"Alright, I'll take my leave for now. When he wakes up, tell him what we discussed and set a deadline. I'll return then," Su Lingxiu said as she put away the jade platform and left the Blood Demon lying on the ground. She handed Tian Zi a small jar to collect the Blood Demon's soul power.

Tian Zi stood there, a thoughtful look on his face, waiting for the Blood Demon to wake up.

Soon, the Blood Demon stirred, feeling that something was different about his blood soul, but before he could investigate further, he scrambled to his feet.

"Senior, where's Chang Qing Xianzi?" He asked urgently.

"Ai!" The Herb Gatherer sighed, "Your luck is lacking, but there's still a chance."

"Senior, what's wrong?" The Blood Demon asked, his anxiety growing.

"Your soul is not strong enough and failed to meet Chang Qing Xianzi's requirements. However, if you can enhance your soul within a month and meet the requirements, there's still a chance for you," Tian Zi explained, deliberately exaggerating the requirements to encourage the Blood Demon to send more of his soul power.
