Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats
Chapter 376 - 376: Realm on Lockdown

[Infernal Dragon Blood Heart]

[A Special Rank 6 Golden Blood Drop has been created]

While letting his two Heavenly Pets rest on his body, Ethan quietly condensed the Golden Blood Drop and reduced his cultivation to the Level 9 Golden Core Realm.

'It's time to test how fast my cultivation speed is.'

With a thought, Ethan took out the [Cultivation Time Pearl], which increases the cultivation speed of a cultivator by five times and soon after, he circulated his [Heavenly Spirit Essence Refining Technique].

In the next second, the Azure Essence in the Azure Serpent Realm began flowing through his meridians and it was refined into Spirit Essence that entered into Ethan's dantian.

'Swiish'

Inside his dantian, the Golden Core rapidly spun, turning the Spirit Essence into the Golden Essence before slowly absorbing it.

'So fast...'

Ethan's eyes widened as he watched Golden Essence swirl in his dantian like a vortex, compressing into dense streams and rapidly nourishing his weakened core.

Previously, refining Spirit Essence required deep focus and long sessions. But now, the process had become natural—almost instinctive.

His breathing synchronised with the rhythm of the world, and every inhale drew in Spirit Essence like a sponge soaking up water.

'If before I needed half a day to progress a small step, now I am doing that in just a few minutes.'

Even Ethan was inwardly shocked at his cultivation efficiency and estimated, 'According to this speed, I can return to Peak Level 9 Golden Core Realm within three days.'

Before, it used to take easily 10 days, but now, it has been reduced to only three days.

So, of course, he would be shocked.

'It was all thanks to my new Special Talent.'

His Special Talent [Comprehension Grandmaster] had upgraded the technique's mastery from Small Success Stage to Great Completion. So, he gave it full credit.

'By the time the Azure Serpent Leaders find the remaining Azure Fiend Gardens, I should condense another two Golden Blood Drops.'

With that thought, Ethan closed his eyes and fully engrossed himself in cultivation.

...…

'Hiss~'

'Swoosh'

'Whiss~'

As Ethan was engrossed in cultivation, completely detached from the outside world, the atmosphere across the Azure Serpent Realm had changed drastically.

The 21 Azure Serpent Leaders, each accompanied by their powerful Rank 3 and 4 Azure Serpents, were searching for the 35 undiscovered Azure Fiend Gardens, as they scanned every inch of land with their sharp spiritual senses.

'What's happening to all these Azure Snakes?'

'Wait a second…t-that is a Rank 5 Azure Vine Serpent…the Azure Serpent Leader.'

Since it was nighttime, there were hardly any cultivators wandering around, and those few who were present saw the situation in the Azure Serpent Realm as something they could not handle.

Especially, after they sensed the overwhelming presence of the Azure Serpent Leader, they fled in fear—without hesitation.

'Rumble'

'Hiss~'

'Thud'

The ground trembled faintly with the constant slithering and slamming of serpent tails, and an eerie tension filled the air, especially under the azure glow of the Azure Moon that loomed high above the realm.

.....

Morning, at the entrance of the Azure Serpent Realm,

'Isn't that the Azure Flame Python?'

'I heard it is always accompanied by the Azure Ice Python.'

'T-there…I see the Azure Ice Python over there.'

'But, what are they doing here?'

By the time morning arrived, the scene at the entrance of the Azure Serpent Realm left every Foundation Establishment cultivator dumbfounded, and some of them were excited to see two Azure Serpent Leaders.

Standing tall and menacing, a colossal Azure Flame Python, one of the Azure Serpent Leaders, had coiled itself around the main gateway, releasing a scorching heat that distorted the air.

Some distance away from it, there was another colossal Azure Serpent Leader, Azure Ice Python.

One serpent's fiery scales shimmered with a faint blue flame, whereas the other one emitted a chilling cold, stopping anyone from getting closer to them.

In short, with two Azure Serpent Leaders lying at the entrance of the Azure Serpent Realm, no one could enter the realm.

Soon, even the Greenfire Sect made a move.

A middle-aged man in a long green robe with leaf-etched patterns arrived swiftly, his presence causing the air to ripple faintly.

It was Elder Wren, the person in charge of overseeing the Azure Serpent Realm and its entry management.

Hovering mid-air, Elder Wren's sharp gaze landed on the Azure Flame Python as he calmly spoke, "Why is the entrance blocked? What is happening inside the realm?"

The Azure Flame Python raised its head, towering even above Elder Wren as flames danced across its serpentine body and replied in a mighty voice, "The Azure Serpent Realm will not be accessible for the next 10 days."

"And the reason?"

Elder Wren's eyes narrowed slightly.

However, the Azure Flame Python didn't answer.

It simply turned its gaze away and closed its eyes, clearly unwilling to say anything more.

'Something had happened. Something serious enough for two Serpent Leaders to move together.'

Elder Wren knew something was happening inside the Azure Serpent Realm, and clearly, it was not a good thing for the Greenfire Sect.

'According to the information, yesterday, many explorers heard a powerful dragon roar in the realm. Don't tell me one of the Azure Serpent Leaders has broken through to Rank 7?'

'And now, they were locking down the entire realm to outsiders.'

Elder Wren continued to think about it for some time, and eventually, he shook his head, 'No, there is no way these snakes could break through to Rank 7.'

'According to Supreme Elder Ranulf, the Azure Serpent Beasts in the realm could break through to Rank 7 only after a couple of thousand years.'

'When that happens, it would actually be a good thing for the Greenfire Sect as we could send the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators to become the true owners of the Azure Serpent Realm.'

As the person in charge of the Azure Serpent Realm, Elder Wren got to learn many things about the Azure Serpent Realm and the Greenfire Sect's true plan.

"Due to personal reasons of the Azure Serpent Leaders, the Azure Serpent Realm will be closed for the next 10 days."

Elder Wren turned around and informed all the loose cultivators and the sect disciples standing in front of the Azure Serpent Realm's entrance.

Although there was a deal between the Azure Serpent Leaders and the Greenfire Sect, the Azure Serpent Leaders could temporarily stop the cultivators from entering it every now and then.

So, Elder Wren could only follow the wishes of the Azure Serpent Leaders because it had been many years since they last stopped the cultivators from entering the realm.

"Sigh…I wanted to collect some Azure Profound Grass to replenish my wealth."

"Same here. Now, we have to enter those more dangerous Secret Realms to make money."

"Forget it…I will wait for 10 days and enter the Azure Serpent Realm, as it is the least dangerous one among all the Secret Realms."

.

.

.

Hearing Elder Wren's words, everyone was disappointed; however, there was nothing they could do about it.

Soon, some left to enter other Secret Realms, some returned to their homes to rest until the Azure Serpent Realm opened again, whereas some cultivators stayed behind to find out what was happening with the Azure Serpent Realm.

"Old Flame, there is one of my disciples named Kai, stuck inside the Azure Serpent Realm. Can you please send him out without hurting him?"

After informing the cultivators, Elder Wren no longer bothered them before asking the Azure Flame Python to send Ethan out of the Azure Serpent Realm in one piece.

"As we both agreed, we, the Azure Serpent Leaders, won't act against Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators; however, at the same time, we can't assure the life and death of those cultivators who enter our realm."

It was Azure Ice Queen who replied to Elder Wren.

"T-this…."

Elder Wren rubbed his forehead in frustration, and he could not retort to her words.

"He is a genius cultivator, and if he comes out unscathed, I will owe you a favour…."

Elder Wren didn't want to give up on Ethan because he believed Ethan's chances of becoming a Nascent Soul Realm were much higher than his.

And once Ethan achieves that, Elder Wren, the recruiter, would also receive a generous reward, which might help him break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, the two Azure Serpent Leaders didn't bother to reply as they peacefully relaxed in their positions.

'Kai….I hope you can survive the next ten days.'

In the end, Elder Wren knew it was impossible; however, he still hoped for a miracle.
