I Can Strengthen Infinitely

The waters of the East Sea, in a fleeting moment, became stained a crimson red, blood light piercing the sky.

Fish leapt out from beneath the sea surface, greedily and ravenously devouring the Immortal Blood mingled in the waters.

For these creatures, the blood of immortals was the greatest fortune; a single drop could transform a fish into a flood dragon, awakening its spirit and intelligence.

Splashes!

The scent of blood attracted fish from all directions, gathering more and more. In just a square meter of sea, there were at least a hundred fish, with larger fish swallowing up smaller ones that had already consumed the blood-stained water, directly seizing the opportunity.

Plunge!

Shen You’s head fell into the sea, causing all the fish to become even more frenzied, swarming to peck and attempting to feast on the Immortal flesh.

But an immortal’s body was not so easily destroyed; without the prowess of someone like Qin Yuesheng, one couldn’t even bite open the skin of an immortal, much less sever a single hair.

Just then, a giant shark surfaced from the sea, swallowing the head whole and hiding it within itself.

Seeing this, the other fish went mad, attacking the shark’s flesh suicidally, without fear. Thanks to the cooperation of the numerous fish, the shark had no chance to escape, and within a few breaths, was gnawed down to its skeleton.

Everything here resembled an inferno indeed.

Shi Lin and Yalan watched the scarlet surface, commenting, "Immortal Blood falls into the mortal realm; it seems the mortal world is about to undergo great change."

Qin Yuesheng asked worriedly, "What kind of change will happen?"

"Let me put it this way. A thousand years ago, the mortal realm had no Spiritual Power, and all mortals were weak. Until later, when the Celestial Demon broke through the realm and descended, the immortals sensed this and descended to eliminate demons. That battle was extremely fierce; though I didn’t partake, I know countless Celestial Demons fell and immortals perished. Celestial Demon Blood fell into the mortal realm, giving birth to wraiths, while the Immortal Blood brought forth Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, allowing mortals to cultivate. Those with great fortune could eventually ascend as immortals."

Yalan added, "Although Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was thus born, later, for unknown reasons, the mortal realm was sealed, and neither Celestial Demons nor immortals could enter it anymore. For this reason, it’s been over a thousand years. So many years have passed, and it seems the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the mortal realm has weakened to its limit and is no longer as impactful as it initially was."

Qin Yuesheng realized, "No wonder, as I know, powerful sects flourished hundreds of years ago, and Inner Power Realm experts were as numerous as carp crossing the river. However, in recent years, Inner Strength masters are considered top-notch in the martial world, and Grandmaster numbers are scarce, with those above being few and far between."

"This is due to the continuous consumption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi as mortals began cultivating." Shi Lin pointed at the sea below: "Today, Shen You is buried here, his Immortal Blood fully falling into the sea. It won’t be long before this place becomes a major disastrous area in the mortal realm, birthing numerous evil beasts, a situation we cannot control."

Once, Wu’an Monarch’s Immortal Blood was scattered in the northern Great Desert, and the impact wasn’t too significant. But the East Sea, as they say, rivers flow into the sea, and the sea can also flow back to rivers. Once Immortal Blood spreads with the seawater, the affected won’t be limited to just the sea creatures.

The future of the mortal realm is unimaginable at this moment.

"Shen You is dead; we should return to the celestial realm. This wretch wreaked havoc in the celestial realm for years, and now, dying in the mortal world, he’s met his due punishment." Shi Lin retrieved Shen You’s corpse and then handed Qin Yuesheng the storage bag from Shen You’s body: "You killed him yourself, so these items rightfully belong to you. Take them; they might greatly aid your future ascension."

"Thank you." Qin Yuesheng nodded and accepted Shen You’s storage bag.

The contents of an immortal’s storage bag are indescribably precious, naturally.

"The mortal realm’s Dragon Soul was forcibly seized by Shen You and refined into the Heaven-Covering Banner treasure. With the Dragon Soul gone, the mortal realm’s Dragon Veins will soon completely lose their Spiritual Qi. Without the Dragon Veins, the mortal realm will turn into a wasteland. The Dragon Soul inside the Heaven-Covering Banner can be used to suppress the Dragon Veins." Shi Lin took the Heaven-Covering Banner from Shen You’s hand and threw it toward the giant island that had split in two.

The Heaven-Covering Banner transformed into a beam of light, firmly embedding itself onto a rock on the island.

Shi Lin chanted spells, raising stone veils from beneath the giant island, forcibly bringing the split island back together, forming it whole again.

The Heaven-Covering Banner fluttered in the wind, glowing over the entire island.

"All done." Shi Lin nodded in satisfaction.

"If there’s a chance to meet in the celestial realm in the future, we’ll invite you for a drink." Yalan was confident that Qin Yuesheng, this mortal, could ascend to the celestial realm. She immediately took a petal-shaped Jade Pendant from her waist and handed it to Qin Yuesheng: "This is the token of Ten Thousand Flowers Mountain; once in the celestial realm, you can find me there."

"Both immortals, aren’t you staying a few more days in the mortal realm? Must you return to the celestial realm so hastily?" Qin Yuesheng accepted the token and asked.

"We’ve stayed long enough in the mortal realm; there’s no need to linger," Shi Lin chuckled, "We’ll meet again if fate allows. Besides, young brother, you’re extraordinary. I’m sure in a few years, there will be a seat for you in the celestial realm."
