Chapter 402: Chapter 227: Blood Poison, An Unfulfilled Calamity

A month after Purple Stone Daoist was taken back to the Mahayana Xuanzhen Realm, Gu Shanhai finally arrived at the Immortal Pavilion near the Heavenly Ghost Tomb.

He had also received all of Purple Stone Daoist’s inheritance, memories, and so on.

It was clear that Purple Stone Daoist had not cooperated, or after the cooperation, the intelligence he provided did not satisfy the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect, so he was directly turned into a humanoid extractor, and now it was very likely that he was dead.

For the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect, the death of a Loose Cultivator was no big deal; Gu Shanhai thought, it was fine to extract a bit more from him.

As for Gu Shanhai’s promise? The sect didn’t care about that; after all, it was Gu Shanhai who was in charge, not the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect. They had left room for themselves. Besides, even if the promise was broken, so what? Who would dare stand up for Purple Stone Daoist anyway?

Gu Shanhai was indifferent about this as well. The words he spoke to Purple Stone Daoist were just perfunctory. Having entered the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect, how could he possibly come out completely? It was just unexpected to him that Purple Stone Daoist would be made into a human-shaped memory extractor.

"Blood poison?" Gu Shanhai looked at the inheritance and quickly found out why this Prophetic Divination was worth a lifespan of a million years.

It was a completely new type of calamity, not targeting Cultivators, but mortals.

Purple Stone Daoist’s cultivated inheritance was named "Ten Thousand Bloods, Thousand Paths, Hundred Lives, and Spirit Collection." All the Divine Skills he condensed were related to his own blood, capable of creating vast bloody waves with just a drop of blood, and he could also simulate many spells and Divine Skills with blood, forming a unique effect of ’using the enemy’s method against them.’

It wasn’t some Evil Demon’s heresy; it didn’t require blood sacrifices or blood meals but relied on one’s own blood.

The problem lay in his life-extension Secret Technique, which had issues and developed a special inclination with his "Ten Thousand Bloods, Thousand Paths, Hundred Lives, and Spirit Collection," thus forming blood poison.

If Purple Stone Daoist didn’t die and managed to break through the Peeping Dao Stage, there would be no issues. But if he failed to break through and died, his blood would mutate into extremely terrifying blood poison.

This blood poison would continuously spread along the Earth Vein, absorbed by the roots of plants, then ingested into the human body. It was useless against Cultivators as Mana could purify it and even serve as nourishment.

But if it accumulated in mortals, not only would it grow and spread, but it would also be passed on to future generations.

Of course, if these mortals just remained as mortals, it wouldn’t be a big issue, but if their descendants became Cultivators, then there would be a serious problem.

For Cultivators, the blood poison would take effect as they condensed their own Qi Seed, leading to backlash. The Heaven and Earth Qi they had ingested for refinement would turn into blood filth. In minor cases, it caused severe injury and paralysis, and in severe ones, instant death.

And this was just Gu Shanhai’s most conservative estimate. If the blood poison entered the entire Xuanzhen Realm through the water cycle, then no mortal would be able to escape.

As a result, the number of existing Cultivators would never increase, only decrease gradually until they were extinct.

Gu Shanhai named this calamity the Descendant Calamity, as it wouldn’t affect the present but would impact the future.

It’s just that this incubator was resolved by Gu Shanhai ahead of time, making the calamity potentially disappear like a killing calamity.

The reason for "possibly" was that Gu Shanhai wasn’t sure there were no other factors in the Xuanzhen Realm that could trigger it.

These were all related data he had experimented with, and the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect was also investigating whether there were relevant relics left behind.

"However, the combination of ’Ten Thousand Bloods, Thousand Paths, Hundred Lives, and Spirit Collection’ and ’All Directions Earth Profound Spell’ is quite good; no wonder Purple Stone Daoist thought to use it to extend his life and break through Peeping Dao Stage," Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but remark.

The reason Purple Stone Daoist was deceived without discovering the issue with his inheritance and this spell was simple; he possessed a calamity of perception. Without the "Great Heavenly Immortal Technique," it was difficult to resist its influence on oneself during the Peeping Dao Stage, let alone for him at the Magic Awakening Stage. Being half-step into the Peeping Realm was just a nice way to phrase it; in reality, he was still at the Magic Awakening Stage.

"Combining with ’Heart Intent Dragon Elephant Demon Suppression Skill’ and various other miscellaneous Cultivation Techniques, it seems possible to extend the ’Heavenly Gang Child Skill,’" Gu Shanhai squinted his eyes.

"If I could get my hands on a genuine Body Refining Technique, that would be even better."

Although Body Refining was painful and inefficient in quality and quantity compared to Qi Refinement, and thus was phased out, truth be told, it could be more compatible with Martial Arts; it’s just that the Body Refining path had been neglected for far too long. Even within the three major sects, there were only some sporadic techniques left, and they weren’t of high grade. For Gu Shanhai, they served as a reference, but not much more.

Since they were phased out, there was naturally no need to keep such misleading teachings in the Book Collection Pavilion of the three sects. Why keep them when you have better things? However, there might still be residues in certain relics, but that’s about it. Even Loose Cultivators were unwilling to practice these Body Refining Techniques.

"Elder, here is the recent intelligence on the Heavenly Ghost Tomb," a disciple of the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect who was stationed at the Immortal Pavilion presented the information respectfully.

"You’ve collected all this so quickly?" Gu Shanhai was somewhat surprised as he took it and began to read.

Although the Immortal Pavilion was indeed built by Loose Cultivators, if they wanted to open one, they had to first get approval from the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect and obtain the corresponding qualifications. Only then could they construct it, and once it reached a medium scale, they had to allow disciples from the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect to reside and hold a stake.

In addition to that, all marketplaces had to pay taxes to the Mahayana Xuanzhen Sect: one-tenth for small-scale, two-tenths for medium-scale, and naturally, three-tenths for large-scale.
