The Great Wild God - Chapter 338
Chapter 338 Blood Crow
The entire sea snake skin was 60 feet wide and more than 20 feet long. It was more than enough to cover two Red Sea Names.
Chen Xun condensed the Azure Lotus Flame into a flame saber and cut the sea snake’s scales in half. It took him half a month to wrap up the entire Scarlet Sea with the help of Old Kui, Chi Hai, and the others.
At this moment, the Scarlet Sea was far from perfect. The Xunfeng Formation that had been refined into the ship’s hull was only a small defensive formation. Chen Xun could only slowly perfect the Scarlet Sea Golden Scaled Ship in the long years that followed. This work was extremely helpful for him to comprehend the third level of the Mysterious Evolution Technique.
Apart from the sea snake scales, in Chen Xun’s eyes, the Red-bearded Pirate’s most valuable treasure was undoubtedly the dozen or so charts.
These charts were obtained by the Red-bearded Pirates from robbing the ship. Together with the charts of the Guihai Pavilion, they roughly outlined the vast sea area between the Ji Yue Islands and the southeast region of Yunzhou.
It was unknown how many generations of effort these Haike sects had expended and how many lives they had filled in. The lessons learned from the bloody tears of the survivors were all embodied in these charts.
Not only were the waters dangerous and stormy, but also the desolate islands and reefs that could be used for temporary stops, freshwater replenishment, and shelter from storms were clearly marked. Even the tyrannical demonic beasts and their range of activities in the deep sea spirit ground were also clearly indicated.
These charts were mainly used in the hands of the Sea Pavilion Sect to avoid danger while sailing, but if they fell into the hands of large sects, it would be difficult to measure how valuable they were.
Chen Xun stayed at Guitou Reef mainly to study the extremely special terrain of the Spirit Lake. He might stay here for three to five years or even longer, and also sort out these charts.
Seafarers who survived by luck described the shape and body of the powerful sea beasts they encountered when they went out to sea, as well as the spells and divine abilities they used to stir up the wind and create waves when they went berserk. Chen Xun and Old Kui could roughly judge the strength of these sea beasts from these descriptions.
The Fallen Star Sea within the Ji Yue Islands and Cloud Continent was hundreds of thousands of kilometers wide, and there were hundreds of demonic beasts above the Heavenly Yao Transformation Realm, far exceeding Chen Xun’s previous imagination.
The reason why the demons that fell into the starry sea were able to become a major threat to Yun Zhou was because several Empyrean True Monarchs from the Profound Heaven Sect and the Dragon Gate Sect didn’t dare to leave the mountain gate so easily. It wasn’t strange to think that this was only the number of Heavenly Demon Sea Beasts in the inner sea.
As for the experts of the Dharma Realm in the various regions of Cloud Continent, they probably only had the appearance of two to three hundred people.
Unfortunately, the Red-bearded Pirates were accustomed to robbing families. They had obtained these charts for the sake of making it easier for them to rob ships. However, in the eyes of the various sects of Cloud Continent, they did not know how valuable these charts would be.
After Chen Xun memorized the sea charts he had sorted out, he burned them all down …
********************
Master Shi Long’s cultivation seemed to be slightly higher than Red Beard’s, but his wealth could only be described as shabby.
Only the Blood Shadow Spirit Robe on his body was a pretty decent Earth-ranked magic robe.
Master Shi Long’s name was Xu Zhengrui. He was originally the guardian elder of the Blue Wolf Mountain in Jin Hai Prefecture. After a hundred years of painstaking cultivation, he advanced to the Heaven Origin Realm. His dao name was Shi Long. A hundred years ago, she was expelled from Blue Wolf Mountain because of a big mistake and became a rogue cultivator. Only female disciple Zhu Yuelian did not abandon her pursuit.
Ten years ago, Master Shi Long attacked and killed a heavily injured Origin Core Realm evil cultivator. He obtained a Blood Shadow Secret Technique and that Blood Shadow Magic Robe from that person.
After Master Shi Long was forced into the Void Origin Pearl by Chen Xun, the giant blood-colored bird above his head that could only spit out flames of bloody light, also known as the Blood Crow, was an evil secret technique used in the Blood Shadow Secret Technique to cultivate the second primordial spirit.
After a Heaven Origin Realm expert cultivates his Primordial Spirit, he can cultivate a second Primordial Spirit. The most difficult thing to cultivate a second Primordial Spirit is that the carrier is rare.
Normally, cultivators who were hopeful of cultivating Origin Core would not waste precious time on these side streets. However, cultivating a second origin soul, an external avatar, and a lifeblood soul tool were the main methods for cultivators who had no chance of advancing to the Origin Core realm.
Puppet Cultivators could use the War Soul Puppet as the carrier of their Primordial Spirit to cultivate their avatars.
The Blood Crow that Master Stone Dragon cultivated was actually a carrier that gathered the blood essence of a human and a beast to form a second primordial spirit and cultivated its avatar.
Although the Blood Crow was an evil secret technique, it was more profound than a puppet avatar.
After Chen Xun had refined and annihilated Master Shi Long’s Primordial Spirit, the Ownerless Blood Crow was a virtual spiritual body formed from the essence of countless human and beast Qi and blood.
After sorting out more than a dozen charts, Chen Xun had time to ponder over this Blood Crow.
Chen Xun took out a small Soul Locking Array from his spatial ring.
The Blood Crow was sealed within the Soul Lock Array. It was alive and kindly like a giant blood-colored crow condensed from endless bloody light. Its body was about two feet tall and had a strange shape of three feet.
Even though Master Shi Long’s Primordial Spirit had long since been destroyed by Chen Xun, the Blood Crow’s eyes still revealed some intelligence. If not for the fact that it was sealed by the Soul Locking Array, it would have flapped its wings and flown away at any moment.
“Master Shi Long didn’t appear on the Ghost Head Reef to take revenge for his disciples.” Old Kui transformed into an old man in green and sat on the green stone opposite Chen Xun. He looked at the Blood Crow and said, “Corpse Fiend was also formed from the blood and qi of human and beast. Since Master Shi Long appeared here, he probably knew the secret of this place from the Blood Shadow Evil Cultivator. He found the Ghost Head Reef and most likely wanted to borrow the endless Corpse Fiends to cultivate the Blood Crow, but he didn’t expect the Ghost Head Reef to be taken over by the Red-bearded Pirates first … ”
“The Blood Crow is an extremely yin attribute Void Spirit Body. It doesn’t fear cold fiends or corpse fiends. Can we let the Blood Crow in and explore the terrain inside the Ghost Head Reef?” Chen Xun asked.
“Perhaps, but you must first refine this Blood Crow into an external avatar. In the future, you won’t spend much effort cultivating this Blood Shadow Magic. It would be a waste to refine this Blood Crow into an external avatar.” Old Kui said.
The soul essence Chen Xun refined at this moment was mainly the primordial spirit of other magical creatures and demonic beasts. It only fused with a little bit of his divine soul fate essence, similar to a second primordial spirit, but it could not be considered a true second primordial spirit.
As a Void Spirit Physique, the Blood Crow naturally rejected the primordial spirit of demonic beasts that were also Void Spirit Physiques. Chen Xun could only use the secret technique contained in the Blood Shadow Secret Technique to slowly infuse his own soul and life essence into the Blood Crow’s body and cultivate a Primordial Spirit that was completely compatible with the Blood Crow.
This method was time-consuming and energy-consuming, and Chen Xun’s own consumption was also enormous.
It would be unnecessary to spend so much effort to refine the Blood Crow into an avatar if it was only for the sake of exploring the inner terrain of the Ghost Head Reef and it would not be of much use in the future.
Chen Xun smiled and said, “My heart is divided between righteousness and evil. There are no righteousness and evil methods. Although I won’t massacre people just to cultivate the Blood Crow, I can’t waste the pure flesh and blood of any blind demonic beast that crashes into my arms.”
Old Kui laughed heartily and said, “My mind is stiff.”
Chi Hai leaned over and said bitterly, “Master forbade Snake Wuxin and I from eating human flesh. In the future, even the flesh and blood of demonic beasts will be used to cultivate the Blood Crow. Aren’t we miserable?”
“Graze for me.” Chen Xun kicked Chi Hai away.
Scarlet Sea and Snake Wuxin could directly absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to cultivate their magic power after the Spiritual Flesh was completely fused together. At this moment, refining the Demon Body through eating to increase the Qi, Blood, and True Yang was only the primary cultivation method before the Spiritual Flesh was completely fused together.
Chen Xun said to Old Kui, “In the Three Thousand Great Worlds, Spiritual Lakes can be seen everywhere. All the major powers have Spiritual Lake Arrays, but how can we have such a good opportunity to study Spiritual Lake Arrays in Cloud Continent? The price is really high, we still have to invest …”
**************************
Over the past few days, Chen Xun had already carefully surveyed the terrain around the Ghost Head Reef. However, the endless amount of Frost Fiend and Corpse Fiend condensed within the Ghost Head Reef, and even Old Kui was unable to extend his divine sense to a hundred feet.
Although Chen Xun’s Yin Yang Yuan divine ability was capable of refining all Spiritual Breath baleful energy, he had to first endure such a pure Spiritual Fiend, and secondly, he needed to have Spiritual Fiends with opposite polarities to fuse together.
Back in the sea of flames, Chen Xun was also hiding in the Void Origin Pearl, absorbing the Profound Nether Qi from the Void Origin Spirit Lands, and slowly refining the Azure Lotus Flame that seeped into the Void Origin Pearl.
If he was directly trapped in the Blue Lotus Flame Sea, with Chen Xun’s current cultivation, he would be able to last for twenty to thirty breaths of time, let alone enter his body to refine it …
At this moment, Chen Xun had the Blue Lotus Flame Armor protecting him. Entering the Ghost Head Reef Spirit Pool could last for more than ten breaths of time, and he could even hide in the Void Origin Pearl to rest if necessary. However, the Ghost Head Reef had a radius of several hundred kilometers, and the caves that twisted and twisted a hundred times were even more complicated than a maze. It was not so easy to break through.
And the water eye inside the Guitou Reef was the most dangerous existence in the Falling Star Sea.
The water eye was similar to a spatial rift. The only difference was that the water eye was not connected to two Heavenly Realms, but to two different locations in Cloud Continent.
Ancient powers had once used special terrain like the Water Eye to construct long-range teleportation channels.
Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, through the teleportation array, they could arrive in an instant.
However, the worst kind of teleportation array was the Soul Suppressing Mountain River Array.
At present, apart from the depths of the Fallen Star Sea, there may still be some abandoned ancient formations. There are no other sects in Cloud Continent that are so extravagant as to be able to use the Heaven and Earth Formation to construct teleportation channels …
Once he was dragged into the water eye by the enormous suction force, Chen Xun would still be able to hide in the Void Origin Pearl. However, whether he was trapped in the water eye forever or teleported hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, it was completely beyond Chen Xun’s control.
The reason why Guitou Reef could become a natural spirit pool depended on the inside, not the outside.
Chen Xun and the others were outside, unable to enter the interior of the Ghost Head Reef. If they wanted to study the terrain of the Spirit Lake, they could only place their hopes on this Blood Crow Void Spirit Body that didn’t fear the Corpse Fiend or the Frost Fiend.
