Chapter 1272: The Power of the Blood Pool
After eating the longevity fruit, Shen Luzong was no longer half-dead like before. Now he was full of energy and wanted to go out and kill several powerful beasts immediately.
Shen Xiang followed him out of the valley. Originally, he wanted to ask Shen Tianhu to go with him, but the village needed a strong man to take charge and deal with some huge flying birds and beasts.
Finding the blood pool is a very important thing for Shen Luzong, because it can quickly cultivate a large number of strong people. He suspects that is what the grave keeper should get here.
"Uncle, do you think those blood pools will be occupied by giant beasts?" Shen Xiang asked.
"Of course it's possible, but don't worry, those giant beasts will end up in our stomachs sooner or later!" Shen Luzong said, thinking of something, and continued: "We ate those giant beasts before, and our strength increased very quickly, probably because those giant beasts ate the blood in the blood pool."
Shen Xiang and Shen Luzong were flying in the air, very close to the ground.
Most of the ground was covered with forests formed by extremely tall trees. Whenever Shen Luzong saw a giant beast, he would strike out in the air and kill the giant beast on the ground. Although those giant beasts were powerful, they were nothing but scum in front of him, the Immortal King.
It was rare for Shen Luzong to regain the vitality of his youth, so Shen Xiang didn't have to do anything, it was Shen Luzong who took action to kill the giant beast.
On the way, Shen Xiang discovered that Shen Luzong also had some good martial arts. After asking, he found out that they had obtained them.
"It's engraved on those giant mountains. There are some exercises diagrams and formulas, but they are not suitable for you to practice... Because if you practice, you can't get out. As long as you learn those exercises, you have to stay here to guard the tomb! Only I know this, don't tell Tianhu, otherwise they will not learn it in order to get out, but now there is no turning back."
Shen Xiang was very surprised by Shen Luzong's words. Just by learning those martial arts, he was restricted. He originally wanted to go and take a look, but now he has given up the idea.
While chatting along the way, Shen Xiang discovered something very surprising. Long Xueyi helped him estimate that five years had passed here, while only one year had passed outside. Now he understood why Shen Luzong had the strength of an Immortal King so quickly.
However, he also learned from Shen Luzong that after the secular world disappeared, the space and time there were even more terrifying compared to the outside world.
"When I discovered the blood pool, I had only reached the eighth calamity of Nirvana. At that time, I was chased by a giant beast for several days. Finally, I had no choice but to jump into the blood pool. After I took a nap in the blood pool, I found that my body was in great pain. When I woke up, the Nirvana calamity had already struck, and the blood in the blood pool had dried up. Then I went through that not-so-severe Nirvana calamity in a daze." Shen Luzong said.
After finding the blood pool, Shen Xiang also wanted to try and see if there was any room for transformation of his body. If he could improve his strength through the blood pool, he would not need to spend a long time refining a large number of pills, and he would be able to ascend quickly.
More than ten days passed, and Shen Xiang and Shen Luzong had not found the blood pool outside. Along the way, Shen Xiang also feasted on delicious meat of ancient beasts and gave a lot to Long Xueyi.
With Shen Luzong by his side, Shen Xiang didn't need to do anything, so he could secretly condense some creative divine liquid. He wanted to get more longevity fruits for Shen Luzong, as well as other elixirs.
Shen Luzong and Shen Xiang did not fly in the sky, but walked in the forest. Although this was slow, the search could be more comprehensive. Shen Luzong could also tell whether there was a blood pool nearby by the breath.
The blood pool was not found, but some spiritual medicines were found. Most of them were of spiritual grade, which was also very good. It showed that there were quite a few spiritual medicines here, and maybe there were some of earth grade or heaven grade.
"Uncle, if that blood pool is used on me, will I be improved?" Shen Xiang asked.
"Of course there is. Although it is called the Blood Pool, what is inside is not blood, but a red liquid. I don't know what it is, but it can make people suddenly gain very powerful strength." Shen Luzong put a giant tiger into the storage magic weapon and continued to run forward quickly.
Originally, storage magic weapons were very scarce here, but after Shen Xiang came, he brought a lot of them, so whenever Shen Luzong saw one, he would kill him immediately.
A few days passed, and Shen Xiang still hadn't found the blood pool, which made him a little disappointed. However, at this moment, a roar of a giant beast was heard, and Long Xueyi shouted: "I sensed it!"
"There is a pool of blood nearby!" Shen Luzong said excitedly. It must be occupied by a giant beast. I will go over and kill that guy right away.
Shen Luzong turned into a gust of wind and disappeared. Then there was a whole tremor coming from one direction. Some tree fragments came with a gust of wind and beasts roared continuously, but it did not last long and stopped.
"Boy, come here quickly!" Shen Luzong shouted.
Shen Xiang rushed over in a hurry, and then saw a huge red pool of water. Although the surrounding area was in ruins, it was intact like the blood pool, because the blood pool was protected by a very powerful formation.
"This blood pool has not been damaged and is the same size as the one I used before." Shen Luzong said.
The circular blood pool was about ten feet wide, and contained blood-like water that emitted bursts of violent energy. It looked very dangerous. If Shen Xiang hadn't known that this blood pool could improve a person's strength, he would not have thought of jumping in.
"Do you want to go down and try? I'll be waiting for you over here. Just as I guessed, there should be quite a few blood pools like this here. Many behemoths rely on these blood pools to become powerful. The guy just now was very powerful, so it took me a little longer." Shen Luzong said with a laugh.
Shen Xiang nodded: "I'll go down right away!"
After saying that, he jumped into the blood pool. Originally, he planned to feel the process of ascension and the strangeness of the blood pool, but after he jumped in, his eyes went dark and he passed out.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the dazzling sunlight and felt severe pain in his body.
"What happened? Where is my uncle?" Shen Xiang shouted in shock and jumped out of the dried blood pool.
"You have passed the eight calamities of Nirvana!" Long Xueyi said in surprise, "But no calamity of Nirvana has descended!"
At this moment, Shen Xiang did have a unique aura that looked down upon the world. This was an obvious characteristic of having passed the eight tribulations of Nirvana. He looked inward at his Dantian, and through the gray-black mist that enveloped his Dantian, he saw that there were eight Heavenly Pills in each of the five beast statues, and the embryo of the ninth Heavenly Pill was already in a semi-finished state.
"This improvement is too terrifying!" Shen Xiang exclaimed: "How long have I slept?"
"Three months!" Long Xueyi said, "It's really ridiculously fast. This should be a gift from the tomb owner to the gravekeeper. I have observed this blood pool and found that it is connected to a certain force. Although it is dry now, the red liquid will surely appear again in the future. As long as you soak in it, you can still improve quickly!"
