Chapter 637: 【Immortal】: I see this 【Heaven-Returning Blood Body】 is fated to be mine!

The patter of raindrops fell, quickly soaking the earth.

The already uneven road, soaked by the rain, turned unbearably muddy, splashing up bursts of mud and water with every footstep.

By now, some time had passed since that great battle not long ago, and during this period the lives of the residents of Sanchuan Town had gradually returned to peace.

But if one had to say what was different from before, it might be that the local ruffians and thugs in town had vanished without a trace after that great battle, and there were whispers that an immortal master up in the mountain outside town was taking in disciples.

The residents of Sanchuan Town didn't believe it at first, until a servant of the Wu family gossiped that their own young master had already been taken on as a disciple by the immortal master.

This made their hearts burn with excitement—after all, having witnessed that great battle, who wouldn't want to become an immortal capable of shattering mountains and splitting peaks?

At this moment, the patriarch of the Wu family listened as a servant reported that people had been coming by from time to time these past few days to inquire about the immortal master's whereabouts, and he let out an almost imperceptible sigh.

Outsiders only heard that his little grandson had been taken on as a disciple by the immortal master, but didn't know the key detail.

Namely, that his little grandson had been taken as a disciple by Penglai Island, while the two immortal masters outside town were of unknown origin.

He only knew that the immortal master from Penglai Island had once warned him to avoid provoking those two as much as possible, but hadn't told him the specific reason.

Naturally, Patriarch Wu followed this advice without hesitation.

'I wonder what those two immortal masters are actually up to? Could they be planning to establish a sect right here in Sanchuan Town?'

As this thought flashed through his mind, Patriarch Wu decided to send someone later to ask whether those two needed any support from the Wu family.

No, he'd go himself.

And the two immortal masters he was thinking of were naturally Bai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yan.

On the day Li Ang succeeded in pulling Zhao Yan up to do his work for him, the two had temporarily taken up residence at the ruins of the Forgotten River Art Academy.

On one hand to improve their strength, and on the other to investigate whether there were any suitable talents within Sanchuan Town who could be brought into the sect.

Unfortunately, after some investigation, the two discovered that only the Wu family's little grandson had the potential to become a seeker of the Dao; the other residents lacked this innate talent.

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Yan might have taken in that little fellow, but who could blame him for being the very one who killed the boy's father?

Back then, in his state of extreme hunger, he had acted to absorb the other's vitality, and only afterward realized that this eldest young master of the Wu family didn't deserve to die.

Even though Zhao Yan could convince himself that the man wasn't exactly a good person either, he also understood that with the passage of time, his own bottom line was gradually slipping.

And this was the corruption that the lord of the Nirvana beings had wrought upon him.

Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about this happening anymore for now—after all, he'd already changed bosses.

【It's about time.】

Watching the characters slowly dissipate into the air before his eyes, Zhao Yan first scratched his cheek, then turned to look at Bai Xiaoxiao: "In that case, let's set off."

Although he had only re-cultivated to the Minor Divine Ability Realm, as long as no Major Divine Ability struck, facing an ordinary Mid Divine Ability, escaping wouldn't be a problem.

Hearing this, the girl nodded: "Yes, Master."

With that said, the two donned bronze masks and headed toward the location in their memories.

To be honest, they weren't clear on what they needed to do once they got there—after all, the existence behind them had only told them the location.

And Li Ang was naturally preparing to send the two to the next location where the original plot would unfold.

After all, after dealing with Black Bamboo, he had found that the manifestation of causality was rather strange, so he was preparing to try and see if he could alter the original plot.

If he could, then he could be a little bolder in his actions going forward.

'Hope everything goes smoothly.'

Thinking this, Li Ang looked at the class panel before him, which was currently displaying his newly acquired class.

【Novice Seeker of the Dao】.

—

【Class: Novice Seeker of the Dao】

【Level: 20/20】

【Attribute Bonus: Body Strength +0.2 per level, Spirit Strength +0.2 per level, Energy +2 per level】

【Class Skills: None】

【Class Proficiencies: Pharmaceutical Mastery, Blood Body Enhancement, I Want to See Rivers of Blood】

【Advancement Path: Minor Divine Ability】

—

【Pharmaceutical Mastery: You can quickly identify most medicinal herbs and are well-versed in their pharmacology.】

【Blood Body Enhancement: The strength of the Heaven-Returning Blood Body receives a slight increase.】

【I Want to See Rivers of Blood: The power of blood-type divine abilities receives a slight increase, and your blood-regeneration ability is greatly enhanced.】

That's right, while Zhao Yan was teaching Bai Xiaoxiao, he had already successfully taken on this class—unfortunately, he failed to awaken his Natal Divine Ability.

And without the augmentation of a Natal Divine Ability, the strength of 【Novice Seeker of the Dao】 was clearly inferior to that of a 【Qi Refiner (Three-One)】 of the same period.

Of course, part of the reason was that 【Reverse Birth: Three Layers】 was simply too shameless—very few skills could, like 【Reverse Birth: Three Layers】, provide such comprehensive physical attribute bonuses and such outrageously exaggerated self-healing at low energy levels.

However, 【Novice Seeker of the Dao】 was not entirely useless—at the end of the day, in the Sun-Moon World, all sect divine abilities were derived from the degradation of the founding patriarchs' Natal Divine Abilities.

After all, those who could establish sects in such a world—none of those founding patriarchs' Natal Divine Abilities were simple.

Take for example the 【Heaven-Returning Blood Body】 of the Forgotten River Art Academy.

'I didn't expect 【Heaven-Returning Blood Body】 to actually fit the 【Immortal】's judgment.'

Looking at this ability that should have originally appeared in the general skills column, yet now showed up in the 【Immortal】 class skills column, Li Ang's expression couldn't help turning strange.

【Heaven-Returning Blood Body: Can transform one's own blood into a humanoid form; this humanoid can freely use the main body's divine abilities. When the main body dies, the Heaven-Returning Blood Body will automatically be consumed to perform resurrection.

Note: The resurrection location is wherever the Heaven-Returning Blood Body is situated.

Note: The Heaven-Returning Blood Body cannot be re-condensed for a short period after resurrection.】

'I wonder if this effect can even compare to the Natal Divine Ability once possessed by the patriarch of the Forgotten River Art Academy.'

Looking at the specific effects of 【Heaven-Returning Blood Body】 on the panel, Li Ang couldn't help muttering to himself.

After being enhanced by 【Immortal】, this ability had undoubtedly received an enormous boost.

You have to know that Zhao Yan and Shangguan Xiao paid with their natal divine abilities as the price for resurrection through 【Blood Body of Returning Heaven】, yet he did not need to pay this cost.

Although he now possessed 【Eternal Recurrence · Remnant】, no one would complain about having too many lives—three lives always gave a stronger sense of security than two.

Thinking of this, Li Ang slit his finger and flung it forward.

The next instant, a blood-red figure appeared before him.
