Chapter 2184: Blood Apertures

"Makes sense!"

Zheng Hong Lu beside them said, "If it's really as Sister Qian Zhu says, then seawater backflow is indeed not pretty!"

"I understand. We first need to set up a formation here that isolates seawater, then chisel open the Witch Emperor's corpse inside the formation and enter it."

"Wouldn't that work?"

After speaking, Zheng Hong Lu's eyes were still bright, wearing an expression waiting for everyone to praise her.

"Tch..." Gu Bai Ping gave her a sidelong glance.

Qian Zhu said, "Brainless... your Bear Big is brainless too..."

Zheng Hong Lu: "What do you two mean? What's wrong with what I said?"

Gu Bai Ping said: "Leaving aside who among us can set up formations, do we even have sixth-grade formation materials?"

"Even if you, Zheng Hong Lu, can set up a sixth-grade divine formation, do you think seawater won't corrode it?"

Zheng Hong Lu suddenly fell silent.

Yeah!

The seawater here is too corrosive; even sixth-grade divine artifacts can dissolve, let alone a sixth-grade divine formation?

"Then what do we do?" Zheng Hong Lu was at a loss for a moment.

He Pingsheng said: "Don't look at me, I have no way either!"

Qian Zhu smiled and said: "I have a way!"

All three looked at Qian Zhu.

Qian Zhu said: "Young Master, we only need to find the Witch Emperor's blood apertures!"

"Divine power within the blood apertures can block the outside seawater, yet we can enter the Witch Emperor's body through the Emperor's corpse's blood apertures!"

Blood apertures?

He Pingsheng was somewhat surprised: "What are blood apertures?"

He only knew everyone has divine apertures; how could there still be blood apertures?

Qian Zhu said: "It's like this. You Xuan Sect cultivators focus on divine apertures; after reaching the God Monarch realm, divine apertures open!"

"We of the Witch Clan don't need to comprehend the Dao laws between heaven and earth; we only need to absorb and refine essence blood, so we are born without divine apertures on our bodies!"

"Even upon reaching the God Monarch realm, we won't open divine apertures!"

"But correspondingly, we have blood apertures!"

"Once blood apertures open, the speed of absorbing blood greatly increases, and the efficiency of refining blood also improves!"

"Same principle as your divine apertures!"

"By the number of blood apertures, one can judge a disciple's talent level!"

"These blood apertures number thirty-six at most, but ordinary lesser witches generally can only open twelve!"

I see!

After hearing Qian Zhu's explanation, He Pingsheng nodded slightly.

"Then..." he asked Qian Zhu: "How many divine apertures have you opened?"

Qian Zhu said: "This servant has twenty-seven blood apertures on her body; theoretically she can enter the Witch Emperor realm!"

He Pingsheng asked: "Can't it go higher?"

"No!" Qian Zhu shook her head: "The Witch Clan's ancestors did something unknown, and were cursed by the Sovereign God, so among Witch Clan disciples, almost none have blood aperture counts reaching thirty!"

"Even the most outstanding disciples, twenty-nine is already the limit!"

"So!" He Pingsheng said: "Theoretically speaking, the Witch Clan can no longer produce a Witch Emperor!"

"Right!" Qian Zhu said: "If speaking theoretically, that is indeed the case!"

"But in reality, because our Witch Clan has the Witch Emperor Godhead, even with fewer than thirty divine apertures, after entering the God Emperor Realm peak, one can still fuse the Godhead!"

"Godhead fuses into the self, forcibly opening the remaining closed blood apertures on the body, thereby achieving the Witch Emperor realm in a single leap!"

"All Witch Clan Witch Emperors, the divine apertures on their bodies are half heaven-bestowed, half self-generated!"

Gu Bai Ping said: "Then why not hurry up and find the blood apertures?"

Qian Zhu gave her a sidelong glance, then looked at He Pingsheng and asked: "Young Master, can you promise this servant a request?"

He Pingsheng said: "Speak first and let me hear!"

Qian Zhu took a deep breath: "If not for Young Master back then, this servant could not have entered the Witch King realm; if not for Young Master, this servant might never have come to this Unpredictable Sea in her lifetime, and even if she someday reached the Unpredictable Sea, she might not find the Ancestor's corpse!"

"Young Master's kindness to this servant is greater than heaven!"

"But this servant is ultimately a Witch Clan disciple, and this Witch Emperor corpse is ultimately our ancestor's divine body!"

"This servant still thinks that in the future, relying on the blood left by the Ancestor to assault the God Emperor Realm peak, thereby fusing the Godhead and achieving Witch Emperor!"

"If possible, please ask Young Master and everyone to leave the divine blood to me!"

He Pingsheng laughed and said: "Hehe... Qian Zhu, rest assured. I don't cultivate Witch Clan divine abilities; these essence blood are of no use to me!"

"Be it your Witch Clan's divine blood or Godhead, I won't covet them!"

"I only hope to use the lightning power on the Witch Emperor Godhead to suppress the curse power inside my body!"

Qian Zhu's face was full of gratitude: "Many thanks, Young Master!"

"Young Master, then let us first search for the blood apertures!"

As she spoke, she took out a leather scroll!

Opening the leather scroll, a witch figure was drawn on it, with thirty-six spots on the witch figure marked by red dots.

"Young Master, look. These are the Witch Clan witch figure's blood apertures... everyone's blood aperture positions are fixed!"

"As long as we carefully walk around here a few more times, figure out this divine corpse's shape and orientation, we can locate the blood apertures on its body!"

He Pingsheng stared at this leather scroll, his brows furrowing slightly, his eyes also narrowing.

Familiar!

A familiar feeling came over him.

After looking for about a breath, two beams of light shot out from his eyes, and then he slapped his thigh hard.

"Young Master!" the three beside him jumped in fright: "What's wrong?"

He Pingsheng said: "Nothing, nothing..."

Saying nothing with his mouth, his facial expression was feigned to be extremely bland, but in He Pingsheng's heart arose a raging torrent: blood apertures?

Damn... I have them too!

When I broke through to the God Sovereign realm back then, my divine apertures opened, a total of seventy-two.

Among them, thirty-six bright apertures, thirty-six dark apertures.

He Pingsheng had never understood why his divine apertures were divided into bright and dark kinds.

Moreover, when comprehending the Dao, it seemed only the bright apertures could be used.

Up to now, he still hadn't figured out what the dark apertures were for.

Now, I understand...

Goddamn bright apertures dark apertures?

This damn thing is divine apertures and blood apertures.

I am thirty-six divine apertures, thirty-six blood apertures!

That is to say, I am not only a peerless genius in Dao cultivation, but if I cultivate the witch clan's divine powers, I can later achieve the supreme Witch Emperor relying solely on myself.

Zizi zi...

"Good!" He Pingsheng nodded: "Now the problem is to quickly figure out the orientation, size, and posture of this corpse, and then we can locate his blood apertures!"

Afterwards, the four people continued exploring underwater.

However, this time the exploration targeted this very mountain!

The mountain stretches for ten thousand li, winding and undulating.

From the outside, or from a certain angle, you simply cannot see what relation this mountain has to a person.

The four people went around the big mountain six times in one breath, carefully and precisely drawing the mountain's size, shape, orientation, etc., onto the paper without missing a single detail.

After the mountain's shape was laid down on the paper, everyone finally saw clearly that this towering, immense mountain was actually the shape of a person.

The Witch Clan's Witch Emperor!

The Witch Emperor was not lying in the sea, but presented a side-lying posture.

"Alright!" Gu Bai ping held the paper and said: "Now the Witch Emperor's body has been drawn out; next, we must find his blood apertures!"

"According to the Witch Clan blood aperture locations provided by Qian Zhu, Young Master, you see, these positions could possibly have blood apertures!"

The paper was placed in front of He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng looked at it, then nodded: "Qian Zhu also said before that after the Witch Emperor fused with divinity, the remaining sealed blood apertures on his body would be flushed open, all thirty-six apertures opening!"

"So we only need to find one of those blood apertures!"

"Which blood aperture is the closest?"

Qian Zhu said: "It should be the Fengquan aperture!"

"Good!" He Pingsheng said: "Let's first find the position of the Fengquan aperture, then break in and enter it!"

Give me three shots!
