Chapter 380: The Blood God Continuation Technique

The Blood God Sect's Blood God Continuation Technique was a star art that combined four special star patterns, the most critical main star pattern being the Continuation Star Pattern, which was of the Sixth Tier, high grade.

This Continuation Technique was actually a star art that contained two secret technique states.

The first was called "Continuation," which was also the easiest to use and easiest to learn.

After a hand or foot or even the head was severed, as long as the severed limb was still there and there was still fresh blood, one could activate the Continuation Technique to directly continue it.

The second was called "Continuation of Severed Limbs," which was regrowing severed limbs.

This was more troublesome; it not only required this Continuation Star Art but also at least a Sixth-Tier, preferably a Seventh-Tier, wood-type spirit medicine containing massive vitality.

Then, with the assistance of the medicinal power, one could activate the Continuation secret technique to regrow severed limbs.

Therefore, this Blood God Continuation Technique alone was still not enough to regrow severed limbs; it also required the cooperation of a Sixth-Tier or even Seventh-Tier wood-type spirit medicine.

Usually, Sixth-Tier spirit medicines only appeared in Sixth-Tier star domains and were basically unseen in Fifth-Tier star domains; even in Sixth-Tier star domains, they were extremely rare and hard to come by.

But in Seventh-Tier star domains, compared to the hard-to-come-by Seventh-Tier spirit medicines, Sixth-Tier spirit medicines were not so rare.

Moreover, it had to be a wood-type spirit medicine.

After studying it, Xu Jin had completely understood the Blood God Continuation Technique.

Except for the immediate continuation of severed limbs, the Blood God Sect's Continuation Technique was equivalent to lowering the difficulty of regrowing severed limbs by one level.

Originally, it required a Seventh-Tier or even Eighth-Tier top-grade spirit medicine to possibly regrow severed limbs.

With the Continuation Technique, a Seventh-Tier or even Sixth-Tier wood-type spirit medicine would suffice.

Eighth-Tier spirit medicines were very far away from Xu Jin.

But the Sixth Tier was not far off.

When Xu Jin's cultivation broke through to the Fifth Tier, he would find an opportunity to break into a Sixth-Tier star domain; perhaps he would be able to find a Sixth-Tier spirit medicine.

And then solve the problems of Ning Yuchan, Ying Ge, and even his teacher Qi Shanye.

Because of Long Yu as an intermediary, and the Blood God Child Fu Ying being completely under Xu Jin's control, the entire cultivation system of the Blood God Sect that he knew was handed over to Xu Jin through Long Yu, except for the Blood-Drop Divine Pattern that could allow blood-drop rebirth.

This he couldn't teach.

The Blood-Drop Divine Pattern was passed directly to him by the Blood God Sect's Great Elder through a sect-protecting treasure; anyway, he just knew how to do it.

But what it was specifically like, he didn't understand, so he couldn't write it down either.

According to Xu Jin's understanding, it was like an execution program; the Blood God Child Fu Ying only obtained an integrated startup program, and as long as he started it, he could get the desired result.

To put it more directly, it was that the Blood God Sect's sect-protecting treasure had built a mechanism inside his body and then gave him a mechanism button; press it once, and it would work.

He only knew this much.

So he couldn't pass it to anyone.

This made Xu Jin exclaim at how magical it was.

The Blood God Sect, which he had once despised, had methods far more profound than he had imagined.

By comparison, the inheritance method of the most important Clear Soul Star Pattern in the Spirit Era Star Palace was too crude.

In casual conversation, Xu Jin also obtained another piece of information that couldn't quite be called intelligence from the Blood God Child Fu Ying.

According to the Blood God Sect's internal claims, the inheritance of the Blood God Sect had spanned over ten thousand years!

And it was the kind that had records.

Then how many years had the inheritance of the four major star palaces related to the current world's Star-Plucking Tower been?

The Star-Plucking Tower was only founded by the Extreme Dao Emperor three thousand years ago.

The Blood God Sect perhaps had a big secret.

With this thought, the Blood God Child Fu Ying's value to Xu Jin increased further.

If this nail was handled well, perhaps there would be a big harvest in the future.

As for the cultivation star patterns in the entire cultivation system of the Blood God Sect, there was basically no significance in learning them.

For example, the Blood Source Star Pattern and the Blood Refining Star Pattern.

After these two star patterns were inscribed, Blood God Sect disciples absorbing the Myriad Spirit Blood Pill, including daily absorbing and refining the blood energy of cultivators to increase cultivation, would not have the risk of mental confusion.

This also explained why Blood God Sect disciples could absorb large amounts of cultivators' essence blood and Myriad Spirit Blood Pills to increase cultivation without affecting their sanity.

Especially that Blood Refining Star Pattern, which faintly had a purifying effect.

Although Xu Jin already had the special star art Spirit Platform brought by the Clear Soul Star Pattern, which could have a purifying effect.

But it was very clear that the purification speed of this Blood Refining Star Pattern was faster.

Anyway, Xu Jin had many star cores, so extracting one to inscribe the relevant star patterns of the Blood God Sect might have a chance to be useful.

Of course, Xu Jin only inscribed those he felt were useful, such as Blood Escape and Blood Concealment.

Especially that Blood Concealment Star Pattern, which was quite interesting.

This was also the key to the Blood God Sect hiding in the secular world.

As long as they didn't activate their Blood God power and then activated this Blood Concealment Star Pattern, they could blend into the masses just like ordinary people, and ordinary methods wouldn't be able to discover them.

What Xu Jin was most interested in, however, was the Blood God Sect's secret art, Blood Puppet.

A Sixth-Tier star art with the Blood Puppet Star Pattern as the core, used for saving one's life.

In one's spare time, one could use one's own essence blood to refine a Blood Puppet.

When encountering a life-and-death crisis, the Blood Puppet could instantly wrap around oneself, and after resisting a certain amount of attack, it would create an illusion of being blasted to pieces, while at the same time, extremely secretly activating Blood Escape within the illusion, depending on the cultivation level at the time of refining, escaping the main body from a few hundred meters to a few thousand meters, while simultaneously restraining all the main body's aura to achieve a semi-concealed state.

This star art was designed extremely cleverly; besides the main star pattern Blood Puppet, there were also Blood Escape, Blood Concealment, Blood Restraint, Illusion, etc. —it was definitely a life-saving star art.

"Which of you two has refined a Blood Puppet?" Xu Jin suddenly became interested.

"My lord, I haven't learned it before," Long Yu answered first.

"I have refined one," the Blood God Child Fu Ying replied gloomily, having a bad premonition.

"Show me how you use it; I want to see the effect," Xu Jin said.

What could the Blood God Child Fu Ying say?

He could only be forced to perform.

Seeing that Xu Jin was going to cooperate with the attack, the Blood God Child Fu Ying hurriedly stopped him, "Let Long Yu do it; you attack, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to use the Blood Puppet."

Xu Jin was surprised but could only nod.

A few breaths later, as Long Yu's blood-colored blade light slashed into the Blood God Child Fu Ying, he saw the Blood God Child Fu Ying slashed into two halves instantly under the blade light.

He died on the spot, with blood and internal organs flowing all over the ground.

Relying only on the naked eye and divine soul power, Xu Jin actually didn't discover anything abnormal.

Only after fully activating the thirty-six Bright Era Star Patterns to sense it did he discover the Blood God Child Fu Ying hiding behind a giant rock a thousand meters away, his aura extremely weak, in a semi-concealed state.

Under the sensing of the thirty-six Bright Era Star Patterns, the blood flowing all over the ground in front of him was actually real and still flowing; only the corpse and the flowing internal organs were fake—they were illusions.

He stepped on it, and it even left bloody footprints; it couldn't be more real.

Xu Jin was greatly amazed.

Looking at the Blood God Child Fu Ying who walked over, he asked, "With such a life-saving divine skill, why didn't you use it when I killed you last time? If you had used it then, perhaps you could have escaped a disaster?"

Hearing this, the Blood God Child Fu Ying said gloomily, "I used it. But your star art's power was too great, and it was fire-type; the moment it exploded, it destroyed both the Blood Puppet I had just activated and my true body.

The Blood Puppet didn't even have a chance to take effect."

"Uh..."

"So, for this Blood Puppet to take effect, its own defense must also be strong to a certain extent; thin-skinned people don't even have the chance for it to take effect," Xu Jin said.

"Right, I'm actually not thin-skinned; it depends on who I'm facing..." the Blood God Child Fu Ying said helplessly.

This was indeed a good way to save one's life.

If it were anyone else, learning it would be very troublesome.

With so many star patterns, one wouldn't be able to learn it in a month or two.

But Xu Jin was different.

Besides the Arena Star Lamp, he now also had the Arena Lamp Domain projection to increase deduction efficiency.

He learned it.

Better safe than sorry.

And as for his own efficiency in learning new star patterns, Xu Jin hadn't paid attention before, but now he found it was much faster than at the beginning.

At the beginning, even with the assistance of the Star Lamp, learning a new star pattern required half a day or even most of the day of hard work.

But now, also within the Star Lamp, depending on the rank and complexity of the star pattern, he could learn a star pattern in an hour or two.

This should be related to Xu Jin's accumulation.

After learning and deducing a large number of star patterns, the accumulation had gone up, so learning new star patterns was naturally faster.

In just one day, Xu Jin had learned all the Blood Puppet and several related star patterns of the Blood God Sect.

Especially the Blood Concealment Technique and Blood Escape Technique, which he used even more brilliantly than the Blood God Child Fu Ying.

After finishing these, Xu Jin asked the Blood God Child Fu Ying about business again. "Within a month, can you really prepare the Sixth-Tier Myriad Spirit Blood Pill that Emperor Qian'an needs?" Xu Jin asked.

"How could I? At most, I'll give him a Fifth-and-a-half-Tier one. I still need to use a portion of the harvest to break through to the Fifth Tier. However, a Fifth-and-a-half-Tier one should also be able to increase his probability of breaking through to the Seventh Tier by twenty percent."

The Blood God Child Fu Ying was also a smart person and had already seen something, so he hurriedly said, "Of course, if you, my lord, don't want me to get it for him, then I won't get it for him.

Or I can use an even inferior one to fool him!

It will also be convenient for me to get those treasures I want to trade from his hands," the Blood God Child Fu Ying was a bit glib.

"Still, get a Fifth-and-a-half-Tier one, but when it's done, let Long Yu bring it out to find me first, and then decide whether to give it to him or how to give it to him."

Xu Jin's consideration was relatively comprehensive; he needed to discuss this matter with the Grand Master before deciding specifically what to do, and he couldn't say for sure right now.

"No problem.

My lord, then those pills of yours..." Fu Ying leaned forward, his face full of flattery.

"Handle things well, and there will be no shortage for you."

"You can rest assured about that."

There was a reason for Fu Ying's flattering appearance; in just a day and a half, he had taken three pills, and his divine soul cultivation had already recovered to the Third Tier, Eighth Layer, and he had taken all the remaining two pills in his hand, so the peak of the Third Tier, Ninth Layer was almost there.

With one more pill, his divine soul cultivation would be able to break through to the Fourth Tier, which would bring him enough sense of security.

"By the way, can you add ingredients to this Myriad Spirit Blood Pill of yours?" Xu Jin asked.

"It's very difficult! However, adding a bit of resentment and death aura is no problem. Of course, you can't add too much; if you add too much, it's easy to be seen through," Fu Ying said.

"Then add a little bit."

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Xu Jin rolled his eyes at Fu Ying; if you ignored this Blood God Sect technique and identity, this guy could be considered half a living treasure.

Since this Yunluo Star Domain still had to be refined by the Blood God Child Fu Ying for the Myriad Spirit Blood Pill, Xu Jin's sweeping plan had to change slightly.

He couldn't sweep through as roughly as before, killing those who were unwilling to surrender directly.

He had to find a way to capture and control them all.

But this was not a difficult task for Xu Jin; it just required spending a little more time.

Things that originally took half a day to solve now required a day.

Stealthily approaching, capturing alive, and for those willing to surrender and release their divine soul, he would control them along the way.

For those who were unwilling, he would use the Dream Technique.

Spend some effort to destroy their will in a dream, then promise various benefits, and then capture them.

There were truly tough guys who weren't afraid of death, and quite a few of them.

But there were very few tough guys who were in high positions but not afraid of death.

Unfortunately, the three kings of the Yunluo Star Domain were none of them.

Otherwise, Xu Jin would have had to fulfill the wish of this tough guy.

In the end, Xu Jin obtained six Heaven and Earth Star Will powers and then separated the authority.

He gave thirty percent of the Heaven and Earth authority to the Blood God Child Fu Ying to facilitate his work.

Before leaving, he gave Long Yu and Fu Ying a few Fifth-Tier mid-grade emblems for saving their lives, all of which were made by Xu Jin himself, but they had been nourished.

If they encountered the Sixth Tier, they could also save their lives.

These two nails driven into the Blood God Sect, especially the Blood God Child Fu Ying, were already close to the true core high-level of the Blood God Sect, so he had to invest some capital.

On March 31st, Xu Jin left the Fourth-Tier Yunluo Star Domain, which could be considered the complete end of his sweeping tour of the Fourth-Tier star domains.

Next, the matter of breaking through to the Fifth Tier had to be put on the agenda.

However, before breaking through to the Fifth Tier, he had to urgently contact the Grand Master.

The matter concerning Emperor Qian'an was very urgent.

Inside the Chen Guo Academy, it took a full month for the Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao to comprehend the Eighth-Tier high-grade Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern to the Eighth-Tier low-grade.

The Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern was extremely difficult to comprehend; even if it was ready-made, it required time.

Cheng Yuexiao estimated that the subsequent comprehension would be even more difficult.

To successfully comprehend and inscribe the Eighth-Tier mid-grade Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern, it would probably take at least half a month.

Therefore, the Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao temporarily stopped comprehending the Eighth-Tier high-grade Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern and first inscribed the Eighth-Tier low-grade Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern, forming combat power.

At the same time, he began to comprehend the Eighth-Tier low-grade Earth Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern.

It was estimated that it would only take four or five days to comprehend the Sixth-Tier high-grade Earth Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern, and while significantly increasing combat power, he would continue to comprehend it; it was estimated that in twenty days, he would be able to comprehend the Eighth-Tier low-grade Earth Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern.

"Palace Master, this Earth Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern is too difficult to comprehend; I have been comprehending the Eighth-Tier low-grade Earth Elephant for a month, and I have only comprehended the Seventh-Tier mid-grade Earth Elephant now.

It is estimated that it will take another month to comprehend the Eighth-Tier low-grade Earth Elephant."

On the side, watching the Grand Master finish his comprehension and rest, Peng Lao smiled excitedly and exhaustedly, "But if it's just the Seventh-Tier mid-grade Earth Elephant, it also makes my combat power nearly double.

Moreover, I have a premonition!"

"What premonition!"

"Grand Master, when I comprehend the Earth Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern to the Eighth-Tier low-grade, I am afraid it will be the opportunity for me to break through to the Eighth Tier!" Peng Lao laughed.

Once these words were spoken, the Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao was overjoyed, "That's great! Peng Lao, then how much longer will it take?"

"Two months, at least two months!"

"Two months?"

The Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao thought for a moment and said, "The time for the Star Dome Secret Realm this month has been used up. Next month, I will take you in to comprehend for a few hours, which should shorten the time a bit."

"Comprehending for one hour in the Star Dome Secret Realm is worth five or six days of comprehension outside. If I'm lucky, a month should be about enough," Peng Lao laughed.

Just as the two were talking, the Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's Star-Plucking Token flickered. After taking a look, the Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao laughed, "Look, that kid's starlight transmission has come.

Looking at the time, it should be that the Fourth-Tier Star Power Secret Realm has been swept clean.

He is asking me to go over for a face-to-face talk."

"Swept clean? That's fast enough!"

While speaking, Peng Lao sighed, "Unfortunately, the Fourth-Tier elites of our Chen Guo are still not enough. Otherwise, the star domains that Xu Jin has swept through could definitely be completely conquered or effectively controlled.

Now, only one-third can be conquered or effectively controlled."

"One-third is a lot; these are Fourth-Tier star domains!

The output of one star domain in a year is equivalent to the output of one province of our Chen Guo in a year.

Our Chen Guo only has seven provinces in total.

This time, the star domains conquered and controlled are as many as nine!

In the future, perhaps we can control one or two more.

This is already enough to double the annual revenue of my Chen Guo; it's enough!

Any more, and there won't be enough manpower to control them," the Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao said.

"That's true.

Then in these few years, we must increase investment in star-dotting and cultivate more disciples," Peng Lao said.

"I have already submitted a petition. In the next few years, our National Academy will give five Awakening Spirit Pills to every disciple participating in star-dotting for free, and at the same time, reduce the star-dotting fee from the current fifty taels to twenty taels. The Majesty has not yet approved it," Cheng Yuexiao said.

"Palace Master, why not make it free directly?"

"Things obtained for free, no one will cherish, and there will be fewer strivers!

Reducing the star-dotting fee by more than half is enough for many young people of the right age to participate in star-dotting.

Besides this, the welfare and treatment of disciples who successfully dot stars, regardless of talent, as long as they succeed, from local provinces and counties to the National Academy, will all be doubled.

All disciples in the academy will also be doubled!"

Speaking of this, the Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's heroic spirit arose, "In the past, our Chen Guo was poor and didn't have that family foundation, but now, because of the first place in the Lou Gong battle and because of Xu Jin, we control nearly twenty more star domains, and the annual revenue has doubled.

This is still this year!

Next year, I will reduce the star-dotting fee to ten taels!

And I will also increase the welfare and treatment of all disciples who successfully dot stars by three times!

At the same time, the burden on the people will also be halved, and it will be even more prosperous.

As long as it takes three to five years, our Chen Guo will definitely be full of talents!"

"Indeed, it only takes three to five years!" Peng Lao also revealed a look of yearning, "By then, our Chen Guo will be completely different."

"Yes, and not just these.

The massive amount of heavenly treasures transported from the conquered and controlled Third-Tier and Fourth-Tier star domains is accelerating the cultivation of more alchemists, weapon smiths, and emblem masters.

In the next two years, complete sets of Third-Tier star weapons will be the standard equipment for disciples of our Chen Guo National Academy.

Elite disciples, each with a Fourth-Tier star weapon, will also be the standard!

The mortality rate of soldiers on the front line of the Star River Battlefield should be able to drop in a straight line," Cheng Yuexiao laughed.

"I'm looking forward to this prosperous age that the Palace Master mentioned," Peng Lao laughed.

"It will be realized."

With a faint smile, the Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao sat down again and put his mind into the Star-Plucking Token, "I'll go see that kid first; that kid is probably waiting anxiously."
