Chapter 428 - 214: All Are Millennium Foxes
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed. During this time, someone from the Shangguan family did come down to Gui Xu for investigation, and it was Shangguan He himself. However, after searching around with no findings, he left on his own.
These few days, Qing’er was not uninteresting. At one time, she joined forces with Qingqing to ostracize Ji Mingyu, and at another, she intentionally fell in front of Chu Xuan, shouting, "Oh dear, the baby fell and needs a cuddle to get up~"
Chu Xuan didn’t react much, but Ming Yu was infuriated, wishing to tuck the person who called herself "baby" back into her mother’s womb.
During such moments, she missed her little snow mink at home dearly. If it were here, at least it could help her come up with ideas...
Aside from cultivation, Chu Xuan was getting familiar with the jade array plate in his hand. It could construct the "Jade Sea Sky Formation," with functions of concealment, protection, sealing, and even creating illusions, making it a rare treasure.
Additinionally ,from Blood Robe Old Monster’s storage button, he successfully obtained the original text of the Blood Spirit Scripture.
Yes, a button. This item in Divine Sense probing looked just like ordinary jade stone, quite easily overlooked by ordinary people, showcasing Deng Qiu’en’s deceitfulness.
Although this magic item required the original owner’s Divine Sense imprint to be activated, Qing’er was skilled in handling this kind of stuff, one of her "unprofessional" endeavors.
She took the button, fiddled with it a bit, quickly cracking open the Divine Sense imprint, and when handing it over, she specially pointed to her cheek.
Chu Xuan kissed her cheek as she wished, then took the item to study.
This scene caused the other two women to change their expressions instantly, while Qing’er wore an expression full of pride, almost wagging her tail to the heavens.
Regardless of the scheming among these three women, Chu Xuan originally worried Deng Qiu’en might have hidden the Blood Spirit Scripture elsewhere, but fortunately, this old thing was of a paranoid disposition, always carrying it with him.
This scripture felt extremely light in his hand, inscribed with the three gold ancient seal characters "Blood Spirit Scripture". Neither wooden nor silk, nor hemp nor thread, its material was unknown. It was as thin as light silk, transparent in its entirety, through diligent observation, one could see right through.
The first half was full of talisman seals and incantations, while the second half featured blood-colored silhouettes on each page in varying postures, illustrating cultivation routes, blood-red and exceedingly sinister.
Once Chu Xuan received it, a sense of familiarity washed over him, and in his mind, an image vaguely emerged of a charming beauty dressed in a blood-colored gown.
"Shi Mei..." he whispered quietly, feeling some melancholy.
After calming down a little, Chu Xuan opened the Blood Spirit Scripture; besides cultivation techniques, it also contained various secret techniques and Divine Techniques:
Blood God Palm, Blood Demon Saber, Blood God Incarnation, Bloodlight Fingers, Blood Puppet Technique, Blood Dummy Technique, Blood God Immortal Body, Blood Refining Technique, Bloody Shadow Divine Skill, Dissolution Method, Calling God Technique, Blood Realm...
Unfortunately, most of these secret techniques require cultivating the Blood Spirit Scripture to utilize, as for the few that don’t, like the "Dissolution Method" which sounds nice, but is actually just self-destruction.
Depending on the user’s power level, the explosion’s range and power vary. If the Blood Spirit Scripture is cultivated, not only does the power increase, but one can escape with a blow of bloody shadow, incredibly fast.
This "Calling God Technique" claims to summon a portion of Blood God Power, descending onto oneself.
However, according to Chu Xuan’s knowledge, this secret technique is quite a trap, often failing upon usage, and even if successful, ordinary cultivators cannot withstand the "divine" will and power, either going insane immediately or dying on the spot.
Anyway, he never had much affinity for this type of Evil God, and has never used it.
But after the Ancient Battlefield incident, Chu Xuan gained more understanding of the Blood God, seeming not too evil, infused with dominion and slaughter. Perhaps it was the later followers who set up cult-like doctrines, leading outsiders to mistake Him for an Evil God.
One day if Chu Xuan gets cornered, he might directly become possessed by the god, then let’s see who’s afraid of whom.
Oh right, if Chu Xuan can find the Blood God set, he could harness its power to perform most secret techniques in Blood Spirit Scripture.
Moreover, an unexpected delight appeared in this magical storage item, beyond the treasures Deng Qiu’en had scavenged over the years, it included his previous findings in Gui Xu Grotto Heaven.
Those treasures aside, among them surprisingly was a monkey statue!
This was a small stone sculpture, only palm-sized, depicting a macaque with a hairy face and thunder-god-like mouth, the most unique aspect being its two ears, each having three small ears aligned together.
Six-Eared Macaque! Chu Xuan’s heart skipped a beat.
He immediately retrieved the Divine Command and smacked it onto the statue.
Initially, Chu Xuan thought if it worked, the Divine Command should be able to absorb a drop of essence blood, but unexpectedly, upon contact, the statue transformed into a black light and zoomed into the token.
Then the four ancient tadpole script on the token’s front changed from [Long-armed Ape] to [Six-Eared Macaque].
The ape icon on the back also transformed into a clever macaque with three ears on each side, holding its palms behind its ears, listening intently.
Simultaneously, a revelation dawned in Chu Xuan’s heart:
Six-Eared Macaque: Skilled in listening, capable of discerning reason, knowing past and future, all things are clear.
This still corresponds with four Divine Techniques:
1. Able to hear sounds from thousands of miles away;
2. Discern logic and excel at analysis;
3. To some extent, knowing the past and future;
4. Understanding the essence of all things, seeing everything clearly.
