Chapter 312: Chapter 312: The Crimson River (Congratulations for the Sun and Moon in the Pot, and the Universe in the Sleeve!)

In the dormitory.

Returning from the bar, Zhong Shenxiu rolled up his sleeves and gazed at the black vertical eye tattoo.

It was the proof that the bloodline of the Three-eyed Feathered Serpent had stabilized, the black lined tattoo was simple and harsh, possessing an inexplicable aura.

After staring for a while, Zhong Shenxiu even felt as if the eye had come alive, the indifferent vertical pupil seemed to contain endless secrets.

"Bloodline power, huh? Truly mysterious!"

He shook his head, his thoughts delving into the Heavenly Show System:

Name: Li Wei Mojito (Zhong Shenxiu)

Rank: Exceptional

Bloodline: Three-eyed Feathered Serpent (Initial Form)

Bartending: Master

Ancient Sumerian: Proficient

Heavenly Show Points: 195 (33%)

Myriad Gates: Unlockable

...

When his mind focused on the Three-eyed Feathered Serpent category, a prompt appeared:

[Would you like to spend 2 Heavenly Show Points to enhance the Three-eyed Feathered Serpent Bloodline?]

...

"Heavenly Show Points may not necessarily help me find the Crimson River, but bloodline power can... Let’s give it a try, it doesn’t need too much anyway..."

"The power system of this world is quite strong, it would be considered a decent legacy in the Yan Han World too, after all, reaching Primordial Spirit exceeds the likes of Cloud Mirror Sect by who knows how much... But... there’s no Spirit Realm in Yan Han at all, so this power system is destined to be exclusive to specific worlds."

Zhong Shenxiu shook his head, his mind selecting confirm.

In an instant, he only felt a surge of warmth arising within his body, flowing into his arm, entering the black vertical eye tattoo.

The black vertical eye suddenly expanded outward, gaining several rune-like eyelashes.

Zhong Shenxiu felt an itch on his skin, and upon casual touch, felt a layer of scales shaped like an eye.

’The defensive power is good, should be much stronger than Davis, at least no fear of some small firearms now.’

With a thought, the layer of scales became illusory, hidden beneath the skin.

’After all, converted, it’s just the advancement of the Innate level... Having this much is already good.’

At this time, the markings in the Heavenly Show System also changed:

Bloodline: Three-eyed Feathered Serpent (Developed Form)

Derived Ability: Illusory Scales

"This is equivalent to having a constant layer of Nameless Art protection, without consuming much spirit energy..."

"Of course, the most crucial thing is that I can rely on this bloodline to sense the Pure White Wilderness and even, with this scale defense, ward off much of the Pure White Sun’s scorching heat... It greatly aids in the promotion to ’Exceptional’... This bloodline technique is indeed extraordinary."

Zhong Shenxiu nodded, once again choosing to upgrade.

This time, it required 5 Heavenly Show Points.

’The second evolution needs 5 Heavenly Show Points, and the evolved bloodline is equivalent to Gangsha, right?’

He watched as the Heavenly Show Points disappeared, more warmth flowing into the tattoo on his arm.

In an instant, the black vertical eye tattoo seemed to come alive, twisting continuously, transforming into the shape of a small black snake wrapped into a circle.

Boom!

Zhong Shenxiu felt a pull of attraction, and while he could resist, he chose not to oppose it. Instead, he dove into meditation, guided by the power of the bloodline, entering the Spirit Realm.

...

In a mysterious wilderness.

The sky was filled with upside-down towering concrete buildings, and the ground beneath was dotted with clouds.

Here, heaven and earth seemed to have switched places, and water flowed upwards.

Occasionally, in midair, tables and chairs with wings sprouted from them would fly by.

This was a place Zhong Shenxiu had explored before.

At this moment, his figure gradually solidified within the clouds as he looked toward his own arm.

There, unbeknownst to him, was wrapped a small black snake, resembling a bangle.

"Sssss!"

The little snake had crimson eyes and kept flicking its tongue, appearing very affectionate.

But when Zhong Shenxiu gazed at it and his spirit expanded, he seemed to see in the vast universe and starry sky, an immensely huge black snake, akin to a star, suddenly opening its eyes!

Hiss!

Hiss!

The pupil of the creature opened, its crimson color like the flames of Hell.

No! That was the real Hell; a mere glance from one of its eyes could transform it into a world of Hell!

All sorts of inexplicable cruelties, ferocities, and bestial influences began to invade his spiritual body.

"Is this the primordial memory lingering in my bloodline? As the bloodline continuously evolves, its own madness and bestiality also influence the extraordinary, carrying inevitable pollution within the bloodline!"

If it were an ordinary ’excellent one’, they would experience a long duration to let the bloodline develop, while also slowly enduring this pollution, allowing them ample time for self-regulation.

However, Zhong Shenxiu, relying on Heavenly Show Points, had his bloodline’s secondary evolution completed in one fell swoop, resulting in the pollution bursting forth alarmingly!

"But... how could my will possibly lose to a mere spirit influence equivalent to Gangsha (fierce spirits)?"

Inside him, the essence belonging to the Pastor released a chilling spirituality, suddenly spreading over the small black snake.

Hiss!

The once restless little snake instantly calmed down and became incredibly docile.

"Let’s go, lead me to the Crimson River!"

Zhong Shenxiu threw the small black snake ahead to show the way.

The little black snake slithered along, quickly leaving behind this topsy-turvy realm and entering a dark corridor.

Even at the beginning of the Spirit Realm, there were distortions of space.

Zhong Shenxiu only took a few steps before he saw a crimson river!

It surged from the end of the Spirit Realm, its borders completely out of sight, tumultuous and roaring, headed towards an unknown destination.

The surging crimson waters of the river were akin to blood in their viscosity, emanating a terrifying aura.

’The vast and mighty Crimson River, where does it flow to in the end? Be cautious! Souls swept away by it can only remain forever in the depths of Hell...’ — "Wandering Notes of a Dreamwalker"!

"To cross the Crimson River, if one should fail, will the soul be washed away into the depths of Hell? Could it be in the eye of that giant snake I saw?"

Zhong Shenxiu snorted with laughter, approached the riverbank, and prepared to swim across.

With the essence of the Pastor within him, the challenges of the Spirit Realm posed little problem before becoming a ’perfect one’.

Besides, with the secondary evolution and the growth-assisting Three-eyed Feathered Serpent Bloodline, this was already a significant aid.

Combining the two, he saw no issue at all.

After all, those so-called ’ascenders’ were merely fierce spirits; he had no idea how many he had killed.

Just as Zhong Shenxiu was nonchalantly preparing to swim across, the little black snake suddenly hissed, looking in a particular direction.

Following its gaze a few steps, Zhong Shenxiu suddenly spotted a figure by the edge of the Crimson River.

"Someone there?"

At first, he was surprised, then somewhat relieved: "That’s right, I’m not the only one exploring the Spirit Realm. There are always mysterious people exploring it every moment. It’s just that the Spirit Realm is so vast, many times bigger than the real world, and there are so few of these explorers that it’s often a long while before you see an outsider. But that doesn’t mean you never bump into one... Wandering by the edge of the Crimson River, it seems that this is also an ’excellent one’ preparing to ascend?"
