Chapter 159: 【Bored, I want to see rivers of blood】

Within the Within Yaochi Sacred Ground, various heaven-favored geniuses and outstanding individuals were discussing the Dao and using martial arts to make friends, yet only the Purple Mansion Saint Son was unhappy, his expression incomparably gloomy.

This was because the Purple Mansion Saintess, Fairy Fairy Zixia, had not come to join forces with him, but instead was practicing the Battle Saint Art together with the Holy Body Ye Fan, working in tandem to face enemies and explore the Dao together.

Even more grating were the whispers of others: "The Saint Art and the Nine Secrets—if it were me... I would also choose the Nine Secrets."

The Nine Secrets were invincible Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun arts created by the nine great Heavenly Venerables of the mythological era, comparable to the forbidden chapters of today's Great Emperors; even within the Desolate Ancient families and Extreme Dao Sacred Grounds, they were considered bottom-of-the-box treasures.

Furthermore, their versatility far surpassed that of Emperor Arts; Great Emperor divine arts required descendants and disciples to unleash their maximum potential, whereas the Nine Secrets could be learned by anyone.

This single secret art alone was enough to establish a Sacred Ground of its own.

The Ye Tianxuan Sacred Ground, however, used it to woo a Saintess; one can only say that Saint Son Lin is generous.

During this time, Ye Fan could only be described as happy yet suffering, because the younger sister of the Ji family's Divine King Body had arrived at Within Yaochi, and under the machinations of a large black dog, a Shura field erupted, nearly turning the place into rivers of blood.

Moreover, a demoness named Qin Yao was on her way; they were almost enough to make up a table of mahjong.

"Only after experiencing eighty-one tribulations can one achieve the true fruit."

Lin Xian chuckled, hiding in the shadows, enjoying the gossip and the show to his heart's content. Every day, he would either stroll through Within Yaochi, making friends with heroes from across the world and studying their Dao arts, or sit cross-legged under the Flat Peach tree to study the strange stones.

The strange stone related to the Silver Blood Twin Emperors was borrowed by Lin Xian to stimulate the bloodlines of the Wang and Lei families, building the foundation for the Ye Tianxuan Sacred Ground.

Currently, the two most important stones within the Within Yaochi Sacred Ground were the Heavenly Emperor Son and that female Saint Spirit.

The Heavenly Emperor egg was five-colored and dazzling, possessing powerful life fluctuations; if one used the Source Heaven Master's divine ability to observe it closely, one would discover a snow-white and crystalline phoenix egg.

"Recently, the Heavenly Emperor Son has become increasingly active, nearly crossing the void to leave several times. If not for the Immortal Tear Pagoda suppressing Within Yaochi, it would have already vanished."

The Within Yaochi Saint said with a solemn expression: "I suspect something is summoning the Heavenly Emperor egg. Is it an Emperor Weapon left behind by the Heavenly Emperor?"

"In ancient times, there were people who raised phoenixes, known as chicken farmers; today, why don't we try being bird farmers?"

Lin Xian said calmly: "The Heavenly Emperor cannot free himself; he is entangled with the Wu Shi Great Emperor at the entrance to the Immortal Road. The Undying Heavenly Blade is guarding the Heavenly Emperor's second son and cannot descend. If the Heavenly Blade dares to come, we shall invite out the Wu Shi Bell, the Chaos Green Lotus, the Swallowing Heaven Demon Jar, the Void Mirror... and several Emperor Weapons will join forces to crush it."

"Merging the Heavenly Emperor's weapons and seizing the Immortal Gold can make our side's Emperor Weapons approach the level of Immortal Artifacts."

"Swallowing Emperor Weapons can create Immortal Artifacts?" The Within Yaochi Saint looked up, glancing at the Western Emperor Pagoda that had protected Within Yaochi for countless tens of thousands of years. A trace of fear surfaced in her heart, and she smiled bitterly: "If this news were to spread, I fear the world would know no peace."

The universe is a vast dark forest; even Emperor Weapons have their hunters. A Sacred Ground having an Emperor Weapon for protection is not absolutely safe.

"Forging Immortal Artifacts in ancient times was easier than becoming an immortal." Lin Xian shook his head: "The Emperor Venerable of the mythological era did not ascend to immortality, but his Emperor Weapon, the Green Tripod, became an immortal first. This is a path to immortality, and also a method of longevity."

"Heavenly Emperor weapons at the level of the Heavenly Emperor are already very close to Immortal Artifacts; they can be called semi-immortal weapons or quasi-immortal artifacts."

"The one who should be fearful and restless is the Heavenly Blade. In terms of semi-immortal level Emperor Weapons, we have more on our side: the Wu Shi Bell, the Chaos Green Lotus, the Swallowing Heaven Demon Jar, and the Void Mirror."

Lin Xian thought earnestly and calculated: "In the future, if we can gather enough experts, we can take the initiative to hunt the Undying Heavenly Blade. Destroying the Undying Heavenly Emperor's weapon first is equivalent to cutting off one of his arms, winning greater odds for the Wu Shi Great Emperor."

Dark Supremacies can hunt the spirits of Emperor weapons to replenish their life force, and Emperor weapons can likewise hunt the Undying Heavenly Blade, dividing up its spirit to sublimate toward a higher level.

The only fear is that the Undying Heavenly Blade will refuse to enter the trap; in its eyes, the Heavenly Emperor's son is a discarded pawn, far less important than the Heavenly Emperor's second son.

"The Void Mirror is a semi-Immortal weapon." The Within Yaochi Saint was stunned and asked tentatively, "The Emperor Hengyu Furnace, could it also be a semi-Immortal weapon?"

"That's not the case. The Void Mirror evolved toward an Immortal weapon invisibly because the Void Emperor killed too many Supremacies and was stained with too much Imperial blood; it wasn't influenced by the Emperor's Dao fruit."

Lin Xian explained, causing the Within Yaochi Saint to heave a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, thank goodness, there is finally a contestant of the same tier.

"However, the Emperor Hengyu Emperor left behind several weapons." Lin Xian pondered for a moment and mused, "If they could be fused, they should be able to surpass an ordinary Emperor weapon."

An ordinary Emperor weapon? The Within Yaochi Saint looked at the West Emperor Pagoda above the firmament, and his face immediately turned dark. So, in the entire Immortal Alliance, among the several Extreme Dao forces, only our Within Yaochi has an Emperor weapon, while the others are all semi-Immortal weapons or quasi-Immortal weapons.

"Of course, the Wu Shi Bell also counts as a Within Yaochi Emperor weapon." Lin Xian laughed and prevaricated, "Our great Within Yaochi is still the best in the world!"

The Wu Shi Bell and the West Emperor Pagoda are slaughtering everything; the Wu Shi Bell is responsible for the slaughter, and the West Emperor Pagoda is responsible for the 'ga-ga'—it's a win either way.

The Within Yaochi Saint was silent for a moment, then looked back at the other nine-aperture strange stone and said slowly, "If the Emperor weapon is not Within Yaochi's reliance, Within Yaochi's hope might be her."

Under the Flat Peach Ancient Tree, there was a strange stone, crystal clear and dripping with essence, born with nine apertures and eight holes, exquisite and transparent, constantly breathing in the essence of the sun and moon every moment.

That is a divine fetus; once born, it can rival a Great Accomplishment Holy Body, and without the shackles of the Holy Body, it only needs to cultivate in seclusion for a few hundred years to potentially prove the Dao as a Holy Spirit Emperor!

"A female Holy Spirit—can Within Yaochi handle it?!" Lin Xian said with a solemn expression, "Throughout history, Holy Spirits have often become disasters. Even with the Qing Emperor's background and his closeness to Holy Spirits, he still killed two perfected Holy Spirits and left behind many contingencies."

"It won't happen. It is a benevolent spirit, practicing human cultivation techniques, and it still has five thousand years before it can be born." The Within Yaochi Saint said with great confidence, "By that time, the world will have Emperors and Great Accomplishment Holy Bodies; it won't become a disaster, it will only continue Within Yaochi's glory."

"This scale is truly well-judged." Lin Xian's face revealed a strange expression; it seems he was overthinking it, as Within Yaochi's generations of Sages had long since calculated the time.

He walked forward and communicated his spiritual sense with the nine-aperture, eight-hole stone, attempting to transmit some information about the nine apertures of the human body.

"Thank you..." The stone fetus vibrated slightly and provided feedback; its sea of consciousness was as vast as heaven and earth, yet incredibly pure, without too many distracting thoughts.

Lin Xian's mind stirred, and he had a slight suspicion. He looked back at the Within Yaochi Saint and said in a deep voice, "It's not just Within Yaochi's past Sages who have purified her."

The Within Yaochi Saint remained silent, which was equivalent to an admission.

Back then, the Wu Shi Emperor suppressed a rebellious Holy Spirit cultivated by a Holy Land; Within Yaochi must have detailed records. If they didn't have absolute certainty, how could they go to such lengths to cultivate a female Holy Spirit and repeat the same mistake?

"Is there a way to let her be born early?"

Lin Xian's eyes were burning; a female Holy Spirit being born is equivalent to a Great Accomplishment Holy Body. How could he not covet such supreme combat power?

"It requires a large amount of different bloodlines and divine springs." The Within Yaochi Saint shook his head and said, "But no matter how powerful the blood is, it's impossible for her to be born within two hundred years..."

"What if there were a Chaos Body and an Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus?" Lin Xian asked thoughtfully, "That should be enough weight, right?"

"A Chaos Body! The physique from legends that can counter-slay a Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun?!"

The Within Yaochi Saint was shocked; he never expected that Lin Xian still had an ace up his sleeve.
