Chapter 233: The Old Ancestor is unfathomable!

"This is the might of a Nascent Soul!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The Heavenly Sword Sect landed on a large Immortal Boat that was still smoldering on the ground.

Supported by several trusted disciples at his side, the Heavenly Sword Sect Elder looked up at the sky, watching the great battle between Xueshen Laozu and the pale worm with an expression of envy.

Ever since Evil Qi invaded the Cultivation World, Spirit Herbs had become increasingly difficult to cultivate and were likewise prone to being contaminated.

So much so that for the geniuses of major sects, nothing but a Superior Pill would do.

This resulted in the higher the realm of the cultivators in the Cultivation World, the more difficult it became to improve their cultivation!

Both the total number and the quality of experts were declining with each passing generation.

Take this Heavenly Sword Sect Elder, for instance; he possessed a top-grade Spirit Root and a talent for the sword Dao no less than his Spirit Root.

If it were the ancient era, such talent would have made reaching the Nascent Soul stage almost certain.

With good fortune, he might even have had the chance to attempt an ascension to the Spirit Severing stage in his lifetime.

Yet in this current era, he had exhausted his life's potential just to reach the Golden Core Late Stage.

When he contemplated the heavens and earth, a sorrow that time waits for no one would occasionally wash over him.

Boom!

A loud noise erupted from high in the sky once more.

It turned out that after Su Ping's Xueshen crushed the head of the pale worm, the worm's head had actually bulged and regrown from the center.

Then, on this newly emerged worm head, the human face of the True Disciple finally revealed its features.

Before even half a curse could be shouted out.

It was already crushed directly by the giant hand of the Xueshen again!

And with this strike, the pale worm snapped into two sections.

Yet such damage seemed to have no effect on this pale worm.

Both severed halves rapidly grew new heads at the break, turning from one pale worm into two.

At the same time, Su Ping also noticed many Worm Eggs appearing in the surrounding airspace.

These Worm Eggs ranged from the size of a fly to some almost invisible to the naked eye.

And they would consciously fly toward Su Ping.

It was just that Su Ping was wearing a full twelve Fox God Amulets.

Simply put, he had an overwhelming quantity.

With a flash of purple light, the Worm Eggs within a ten-meter radius of Su Ping were cleared away in an instant.

Then, with a shift of his mind.

The giant hand of the Xueshen grabbed the two pale worms and forcibly stuffed them into a giant mouth that was slowly emerging from the sky.

Bang!

After the pale worms were swallowed directly into the body, they were still struggling.

The body tissue melted and decomposed by the Xueshen would recover as good as new in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, Su Ping tossed Fox God Amulets one by one into the body to form an Array, enveloping the pale worm's torso.

This broke the balance of offense and defense.

Although the pale worm could still recover quickly under the Array.

It was clearly getting slower and slower, and its form was visibly shrinking.

"Interesting!"

Su Ping was controlling the main body of the Xueshen to digest the pale worm with all his might.

Suddenly, the voice of the Evil God Avatar, which had been sealed in the earth veins beneath the Immortal Palace, appeared in the surrounding airspace.

This caused the sect Elders and disciples, all of whom were wounded, to change color, fearing that another Evil God Avatar would come to play the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Su Ping glanced over and realized that the earth vein Seal was still very stable.

That Evil God Nier was able to speak because its true body was not here, but in the Underground Mausoleum space of that small island Secret Realm.

It was using a transmission node, which was also the corpse of a hidden evil cultivator in the Immortal Palace who had likewise been sucked dry into a mummy.

"You can actually restrict the recovery power of a Void Creature; the power you wield or are borrowing seems to be a high-level existence just like us!"

Evil God Nier continued to speak:

"What a pity for this Void Demon Worm; although it grew somewhat malnourished due to the low quality of its food, if not for this accident of yours, it should have been able to greatly accelerate the collapse of this world."

"But it doesn't matter; for us, a few decades or hundreds of years later makes no difference."

Having said this, Evil God Bal paused, seemingly wanting to wait for Su Ping to reply.

Only after waiting for a while did it discover that Su Ping simply wouldn't reply, while the pale worm, which it called a Void Demon Worm, was visibly losing another small half of its body.

Evil God Bal had to take the initiative to speak again:

"Wait!"

"How about making a deal?"

"Give that Void Demon Worm to me, and I will grant you one wish, how about that?"

"A wish?"

Su Ping was slightly taken aback, looking at the pale worm that was now only one-tenth of its original size.

From the mouth of the Evil God, Su Ping learned that this fellow seemed to be some kind of Void Creature.

This explained where the energy for this fellow to recover so much of its body out of thin air came from.

The Void was almost everywhere, and it was also a place that must be traversed to connect different worlds.

Records stated that for cultivators above the Spirit Severing stage to advance further, understanding the Void and then mastering a portion of the Void's power was a necessary process.

Unfortunately, the current understanding of this thing in the Cultivation World stops here; perhaps only by obtaining the inheritance of an Immortal Sect can one learn more about this mysterious knowledge.

"If it's a wish, how about letting this world go?"

"……"

"Are you joking? This is a world that has already been devoured by the Mother God... If there is anything left that can leave the Mother God's body, it would only be the world's dregs that are difficult to digest."

"I can promise you, giving you a chance to become a servant of the Mother God."

"Since you have touched this level of power, you should understand the preciousness of this opportunity."

Evil God Bal said this, waiting full of confidence for the other party to agree.

However... as for being a servant, Su Ping did not understand this.

At most, based on the knowledge he had previously understood, he inferred that becoming a servant of an Evil God was likely more reliable than being absorbed by the other party and then being granted a certain degree of subjective initiative.

But even after inferring this truth, Su Ping had no interest in this opportunity.

What is an Evil God's servant compared to the comfort of being a carefree True Immortal?

Furthermore, to be honest, after realizing that this Void Demon Worm was related to the Void and could connect to the Void to seemingly obtain energy out of thin air.

Su Ping became quite interested in it.

Therefore, Su Ping accidentally let the Blood God Avatar stretch its arm, and a large hand descended from the sky, slapping the space above the Immortal Palace.

Immediately, a certain evil cultivator's dried corpse turned into powder.

After Evil God Bal let out a "huh," the voice suddenly vanished.

Inside the Underground Tomb, within the subterranean space.

Evil God Bal roared again, and in its heart, it noted down the guy wrapped in blood light, as well as a certain white-haired guy and a red-haired guy.

It secretly wondered if it was having a run of bad luck, as it had been constantly encountering these guys who, like children of the world, could resist its Mental Pollution and bewitchment.

"The words of an Evil God—you have already fallen for it the moment you believed them."

"Besides, there is no need to worry about the Seal; the Seal is fine. The other party just borrowed an evil cultivator to pull off that little trick just now."

Su Ping swept his gaze over the panicked sect Cultivators below and spoke gently.

Then, he waved out an Array formed by the Fox God Amulet, shrouding these Cultivators.

As purple light enveloped these Cultivators.

These Cultivators were surprised to find that the pustules on their bodies, which they had used various divine abilities and methods to only delay but never eradicate, had all ruptured, revealing Worm Eggs one after another.

As these exposed Worm Eggs ruptured and dissipated.

Although they looked much more disheveled, these Cultivators could all feel that their bodies were much better.

Those injuries looked frightening, but with their cultivation and medicine, they were not a big problem.

Led by the Heavenly Sword Sect Elder, the various sect Cultivators bowed and cupped their hands toward Su Ping:

"Many thanks to the Old Ancestor for saving our lives!"

"We will never forget this grace from the Old Ancestor!"

More than half of the Cultivators present were speaking with sincerity.

After seeing the divine might of the Blood God Old Ancestor and his attitude toward the Evil God's Avatar.

The Heavenly Sword Sect still had a bit of hesitation, but the Elders and disciples of other sects had their eyes light up, feeling as if they saw a shining golden thigh right before them.

As for the evil style of the Blood God Avatar.

That was naturally not an important detail.

The Heavenly Sword Sect Elder also made up his mind that after returning, he would persuade the Sect Master to befriend this Old Ancestor.

This Blood God Old Ancestor is definitely not just an ordinary Nascent Soul Old Ancestor!

Seeing him command the Blood God Avatar as if it were his own limb, and throughout the whole process, there was not the slightest discomfort or backlash.

It could be seen that his foundation was far deeper than previously estimated!

After all, they still vividly remembered how the Sect Leader of the Blood God Sect back then used the power of the Blood God Avatar.

How could the other party be more knowledgeable about how to wield the power of the Blood God Avatar than the Sect Leader of the Blood God Sect!

It must be that his own foundation far exceeds the Blood God Avatar, and only by breaking cleverness with force could he use this Incense Divine Power, which is prone to problems, so wantonly!

Just like what this Heavenly Sword Sect Elder was thinking.

There was also a team of people in black robes further away.

This was the vanguard of the Ten Directions Sect, led personally by the Sect Leader of the Ten Directions Sect, entering this region.

Upon learning that something might have happened to the Artifact Heart Sect, this Sect Leader intended to rush over to take a look first.

But he did not expect to encounter a battle at the Nascent Soul Realm.

And he saw the scene of the Void Demon Worm being devoured and suppressed by the Blood God.

The Ten Directions Sect was also proficient in the Incense Divine Path and had a deep understanding of the control and backlash of Incense Gods.

This Sect Leader looked at the Spirit Disk in his hand and whispered:

"This Old Ancestor is unfathomable!"

"Besides the Blood God, he used a kind of power not recorded in the Ten Directions Array Disk."

"It was also this power that played a role, making it so easy for the other party to trap the Void Demon Worm and force it into a losing position!"

"Could it really be power from outside the world?"

After the Sect Leader of the Ten Directions Sect whispered the last sentence in his heart, he did not go over to pay respects to that Old Ancestor.

Instead, he planned to go back and prepare before going to the other party's territory for a formal visit.

Above the Immortal Palace.

After some time had passed.

Su Ping saw that the Blood God Avatar had finally digested the body of that pale worm.

He beat it back to its original form, turning it into a pale Worm Egg the size of a little finger.

After it turned into a Worm Egg, Su Ping could feel that he wanted to continue digesting this inconspicuous Worm Egg.

That was not something that could be done in a short while.

This thing was like Mysterious Remains and could only be slowly worn away.

Without a clever method like the Vajra Demon-Subduing Array that relied on the collective will of many, it would at least take years to calculate.

As the pale worm turned into a Worm Egg, the Nascent Soul power in the surroundings also vanished along with it.

Su Ping was then able to let his Blood God main body return to the Blood God Secret Realm.

He then flew down into the Immortal Palace, his Divine Sense sweeping over the many ownerless items within the Immortal Palace.

He looked again at those Cultivators who were each respectfully bowing their heads.

Su Ping lowered his eyelids, and after a sigh of emotion, an Array diagram flew out from his body.

He directly rolled up the entire Immortal Palace and packed it away.

The large amount of Dharma Artifact and Spirit Tool materials in this Immortal Palace were fine.

But the large amount of Spirit Herb in that Spirit Garden made Su Ping's eyes burn with desire.

As long as these Spirit Herb were watered with Abundant Spirit Water, they were good things that could significantly accelerate cultivation.

Su Ping never felt he had enough of these good things that could improve cultivation.

After taking the Immortal Palace, Su Ping coughed, promoted his own Secret Realm to these people who could be considered saved by him, mentioning the generous benefits, and then vanished into the horizon as a streak of blood light.

Watching the Old Ancestor leave, these Cultivators, who had suffered losses in men and equipment, silently packed their things, barely repaired the Immortal Boats that could still move, and dispersed.

Not long after they left.

The Golden Core female Cultivator guarding the Immortal City was suddenly startled in her heart, feeling that a Great Ability had arrived.

She hurriedly moved her body and vanished from the guard residence, appearing outside the Immortal City to look at the blood light that was rapidly appearing before her eyes.

"Xueshen Laozu?"

The female Cultivator was no stranger to this new neighbor.

Zhenshou Xiancheng was not a place with blocked information, and the affairs of Nanhuang were known to the whole world.

In the sky, the light of pale blue stars began to emerge.

Under the protection of the guard Array, the Golden Core female Cultivator felt a little more confident.

Swish!

Sensing the change in the Array, Su Ping stopped ten thousand meters away from the other party.

Then, he first used his signature "Jie-jie-jie" weird laughter to seize the initiative.

He also deliberately released the oppressive feeling unleashed by the Blood God main body after breaking through space.

Just as the entire Zhenshou Xiancheng had quietly gone on alert, having made the worst preparations.

They saw this Xueshen Laozu suddenly throw out a wooden box.

It turned out the other party had taken a fancy to the auction at the Qianqi Wanfa Pavilion in Zhenshou Xiancheng.

He hoped the other party would hold an auction to help him sell his collection in exchange for Spirit Stone.

"Old Ancestor, rest assured, this guard is willing to stake my life that there will definitely be no mistakes!"

Without hesitation, the female guard agreed to the matter, and after passing the word to the person in charge of the Qianqi Wanfa Pavilion.

She expressed her willingness to pay a huge advance payment to Su Ping, this Xueshen Laozu, in advance.

Su Ping naturally would not refuse this proposal; after obtaining the Storage Bag filled with Spirit Stone, he laughed loudly and took his leave.

The Pavilion Master of the Qianqi Wanfa Pavilion soon saw the female guard, who looked like an Immortal descending to the mortal world.

After hurriedly paying his respects, he heard the female guard put forward the requirement that she would personally preside over the auction.

Slightly shaken, while agreeing, the Pavilion Master swore that they absolutely had no treacherous people.

At the same time, the Array protection of the Qianqi Wanfa Pavilion was made by a Grandmaster and was absolutely safe!

"Look at the things in the box first."

Afterward, the Pavilion Master heard the female Cultivator's faint voice.

Realizing that some situations might exceed expectations, the Pavilion Master infiltrated his Divine Sense into the wooden box.

And then his pupils suddenly widened.

Besides some Dharma Artifact, Talisman, and Pill that Foundation Establishment Cultivators could also use in the wooden box.

There were also quite a few Spirit Herb over a hundred years old!

"How could there still be Silver Moon Flower over two hundred years old!"

"And this hundred-and-fifty-year-old Deep Nether Grass; I remember that back then, a High Monk from the Great Golden Light Temple searched the entire Cultivation World and could only find ones that were thirty or forty years old?"

"How did that Old Ancestor's Secret Realm manage to let this grass survive two great tribulations of fifty years and a hundred years?"

The Pavilion Master was full of confusion.

But he also understood the sensation and security risks that would come after so many important Spirit Herb appeared in the world.

He hurriedly indicated that he would notify the headquarters and request support.

At the same time, they unanimously agreed on the major premise that Xueshen Laozu was unfathomable and could not be offended.

They began to organize this auction with all their might.

As Zhenshou Xiancheng utilized the communication Array, the thirty-six Immortal Cities of the Cultivation World all learned the time of this auction.

The Qianqi Wanfa Pavilion even used its own connections to inform those wealthy guests of the Spirit Herb news, hoping they would prepare Spirit Stone to come and participate in this auction.

The events that happened at the Artifact Heart Sect also spread during this period.

Many Cultivators who knew some of the inside story, while sighing that Xueshen Laozu was indeed powerful, also had some guesses about the source of the items at the auction.

The Artifact Heart Sect was, after all, once a large sect; it was normal for such a large sect to have good things in its accumulation.

And from the fact that Xueshen Laozu chose to put these items up for auction.

It seems this Xueshen Laozu truly intends to recruit a large number of people to build that Blood God Secret Realm.

Furthermore, the other party does not appear to be an evil Cultivator at all.

Otherwise, the other party could clearly have used force, coercing all the Cultivators in the Jinzi Domain to work for them for free.

Why would they need to trade for Spirit Stones?

Once one reaches the Nascent Soul realm, it seems that no matter how many Spirit Stones one has, they are of little use, right?

These Cultivators, however, do not know.

As the Spirit Stones in his hands only increase the more he uses them.

Su Ping's operations have also become increasingly extravagant and bold.

On Water Blue Star, Huang Zong and the others built and set up Spirit-Gathering Arrays, using Spirit Stones to create modern farming buildings that generate Spirit Qi.

The quality of the Blood Qi Living Soul from the livestock slaughtered at these farms is undoubtedly higher.

At the same time, the quality of the meat products nourished by this Spirit Qi undoubtedly crushes similar products.

Often, from the moment they begin to be raised, the meat products of these livestock or poultry are already reserved.

The same operations are also being carried out in botanical gardens and experimental fields.

Water Blue Star has no Spirit Qi, and even less of a Spirit Qi revival.

But as long as there are enough Spirit Stones, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

And as these measures are gradually rolled out, and a portion of the finished products is allowed to be given to scientific research institutions for scientific study and exploration of secondary uses.

If nothing else, at least for some chronic diseases that torment patients, the hope of a complete cure has been seen.

It is a pity that Water Blue Star also lacks any sense of humanity.

Otherwise, Su Ping feels that he would at least count as having benefited hundreds of millions of people, with immeasurable merit.

Additionally, besides ordinary people being able to profit more or less from these places.

For Su Ping.

As the scale expands.

There will always be strange variants that appear among them.

And these variants will be found and sent to places with higher Spirit-Gathering levels for special cultivation.

As for whether they will be used for contracts to gain further opportunities later, or be used for breeding or slaughtered directly, it is decided by the value of these variants.

After Su Ping left Zhenshou Xiancheng, he returned directly to the island.

And then he learned that the Ten Directions Sect had actually sent people to visit and presented a heavy gift!

In addition to the rare Spirit Herb seeds he had specifically requested to purchase.

There was also a Faceless Statue that had reached the quality of a High-Grade Spirit Artifact.

This is an auxiliary Spirit Tool suitable for performing Incense Divine Path Secret Techniques.

For Cultivators of the Incense Fire God Sect who specialize in this, its practicality even exceeds that of some Spirit Treasures.

However, what surprised Su Ping the most was the leader who came to visit this time.

It was none other than the Sect Leader of the Ten Directions Sect who had come in person!
