Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 357 - Chapter 357 Chapter 214 A New Level of Respect

Chapter 357: Chapter 214 A New Level of Respect Chapter 357: Chapter 214 A New Level of Respect After inheriting the legacy of the Blood God Sect’s Sect Hierarch,

Su Ping immediately used the knowledge from the inheritance to unseal the Blood God Pearl.

Thus, he located the remnants of what might be his rival, the residual forces of the Blood God Sect.

He excluded those who had presumably become captives and were now residing in the Immortal Palace of the Artifact Heart Sect.

The rest of the remnants, who could be sensed by the Blood God Pearl due to the Blood God Mark,

were met with Su Ping’s precision strike.

Cultivators of the Blood God Sect hiding in caves, underground spaces, or even using the power of Evil Spirits to hide within the ruins of ancient relics,

had not yet recovered from the panic of losing their Sect Hierarch,

when they turned to ash under the assault of fire and ice.

This caused confusion among the Cultivators of the Artifact Heart Sect, who employed various methods,

but achieved nothing in the following period, as if the remnants of the Blood God Sect had nearly been wiped out.

The Golden Core Elders of the Artifact Heart Sect received these reports and couldn’t help but think of the cultivator with fiery red hair.

So they replied to the reporting Deacons with a simple: “Understood!”

and dealt with it passingly.

Soon after, the high-ranking members of the Artifact Heart Sect stopped fixating on how many remnants of the Blood God Sect remained,

and instead coveted the Blood God himself.

The Blood God might have been sealed, but the seal was temporary, and it would not be long before the Blood God would break free.

At that time, who could inherit the Blood God Sect’s legacy and become the new Sect Hierarch?

Whoever that would be would gain control over the Blood God!

Even though the high-ranking members of the Artifact Heart Sect were well-aware that controlling such an Incense Fire God, even if achieved, would certainly lead to many accidents,

and there was always the risk of being devoured,

for the current Artifact Heart Sect, which lacked peak battle strength, possessing such a powerful base of combat ability was too significant!

They couldn’t possibly let it go!

For this reason, the captive with the highest Cultivation was taken deep into the Immortal Palace.

The Sect Master personally took action, with three Golden Core Elders cooperating.

First, they erased the captive’s personality and will without harming his foundation.

Then, they employed all sorts of Panaceas and Special Secret Techniques.

They began refining the captive much like they would a Magic Artifact.

Accompanied by the captive’s head thrown back, mouth opened in a silent scream,

his aura began to expand, soar, and undergo qualitative transformation.

However, deep within this aura, an unstoppable deathly aura was forming.

A Golden Core Elder saw this and frowned slightly.

He knew that this act of Artifact Refining wasn’t going well; the captive at most could last three months before his Divine Soul perished.

But that should be enough, right? In three months’ time, that Blood God should break free from the seal.

“Forcibly refining him into a vessel is easy… but what to do when Blood God unseals and we need to hold a ceremony to undergo the Blood God’s test?”

The Sect Master ceased his casting when he saw the captive break through to the Golden Core realm.

Afterwards, he looked toward the surrounding elders.

“Sect Master!”

“You know me!”

The oldest Golden Core Elder with snowy white hair boldly declared as he stroked his long beard:

“If I enter the vessel, I’m certain I can pass the Blood God’s test, and then turn the Blood God into the guardian god of our sect!”

“Sect Master!”

A sallow and lean elder stepped forward:

“If you let me enter the vessel, with the Divine Skills I’ve cultivated, maybe I can turn the Blood God into a watchdog for our sect!”

“Sect Master… Master!”

Another, the youngest Golden Core Elder, was not to be outdone and said:

“You know me, my Divine Soul is the most vigorous, I have the highest chance of success!”

“And my Divine Skills, which aid in fortifying willpower, are best at resisting the erosion of the Incense Fire Divine Path on one’s spirit!”

“I am the most suitable candidate!”

Seeing that the three Golden Core Elders were all eagerly vying for this opportunity,

The Sect Master of the Artifact Heart Sect frowned slightly, somewhat disappointed with the attitude of his subordinates.

“Enough, we shall discuss this matter later.

“For now, we better make other preparations. Without the heirlooms of the Blood God Sect’s Sect Hierarch, the Blood God ceremony requires many rare items to be prepared!”

“Yes!”

The three Golden Core Elders all nodded and assented, no longer daring to contend for the opportunity.

…

“The ceremony for the Blood God includes such troublesome steps for Sect Hierarch confirmation?”

“But most of these steps seem to be aimed at controlling and weakening the Blood God’s innate erosion of intelligent individuals.

“For safety’s sake, these steps clearly cannot be omitted.

“As for the side effects, I have Purification Potions, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

“If one bottle isn’t enough, just drink a few more!”

“Hmm? This ceremony secret technique is quite interesting.

“The minimum requirement is the heart’s blood from ten thousand people.

“The maximum limit… there is none?

“It states that the blood extraction must take place within the Formation and be preserved immediately to be effective; otherwise, I could just visit the blood banks across Blue Star and that would suffice!”

Su Ping considered how to make the people of Water Blue Star cooperate, after checking the requirements for the ceremony.

One drop of heart’s blood per person was enough, and for non-cultivating mortals, it was far less harmful than a blood test.

But simply paying them would be somewhat undignified.

So it would be better to have others plead with him, willingly offering their blood.

After taking it, they should even thank him!

With this in mind, Su Ping decided to use up his Fishing Points before making preparations.

He successfully caught two Green Spirit Fish at the Frost Moon Lake Fishing Point,

which brought the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Pot Cave Heaven to:

[Current Pot Cave Heaven Level: 3 (330/500)]

Later, on his way to fish on Mysterious Turtle Island,

Su Ping noticed the surrounding sea area near Mysterious Turtle Island was already noticeably filled with Evil Qi between heaven and earth.
