Although the change of the Lord of this generation had attracted the attention of some nearby Blood Condensation Realm demonic beasts, Lu Dagui's identity as a Blood Condensation Realm demonic beast, in addition to the three Green Sea Snakes and Lu Dabao's assistance, allowed Lu Dagui to successfully declare his sovereignty as the Lord of the nearby seas.
Due to Lu Dagui's cowering tactics, the other early Blood Condensation Realm demonic beasts could not do anything to him. In the end, the challenges were left unsettled.
Lu Ping had been escaping and fighting for more than a month. He had challenged those who were stronger than him several times, causing his injuries to be quite severe. He could not be bothered with the actions of Lu Dagui and the other spiritual pets in the sea. He only ordered them to guard the Lord's Territory and protect him.
Fortunately, Lu Ping always had a high quality healing pill on him just in case. With the help of a Vitality Replenishing Pill worth nearly a thousand spirit stones, Lu Ping spent seven days to stabilize his injuries.
With the help of several ordinary Vitality Replenishing Pills, Lu Ping's injuries gradually recovered. Just like that, three months passed in the crab's nest. Lu Ping finally recovered from his injuries.
After recovering, Lu Ping was not in a hurry to leave the Demon Territory and return to Huang Li Island. This time, Lu Ping was being hunted. Obviously, someone had deliberately leaked his whereabouts. Although he would be safe if he returned now, it would also allow the person who was plotting against him to hide even more deeply.
These people obviously would not let him go just because their scheme failed once. If they failed this time, their next scheme would only be more secretive, more ruthless, and relentless. Lu Ping had a chance to escape the first time, but he might not be able to escape the second time.
Now, Lu Ping could only hide in the dark and let people think that he had fallen in the Demon Territory. This way, the person who was plotting against him would be careless and let their guard down.
More importantly, after this period of continuous battles on the sea, Lu Ping felt that he had gained a lot. His cultivation was about to take another leap forward. At the same time, he had fought with Mid and Late Blood Condensation cultivators. Although the results were enough to make Lu Ping proud among the Early Blood Condensation cultivators, the cruel reality made Lu Ping deeply feel that he was still weak in terms of cultivation. Lu Ping felt an increasing urgency to improve his cultivation.
This was an opportunity. Currently, the Demon Territory that Lu Ping was in didn't have a high cultivation base. With Lu Dagui as his cover, Lu Ping could focus on cultivating in the Demon Territory for a period of time. Fortunately, he had collected a lot of cultivation pills for Early Blood Condensation cultivators. Although the lack of a spirit vein would affect his cultivation, leaving Huang Li Island would also allow him to avoid the troubles of the sect and save him a lot of cultivation time.
With the support of sufficient cultivation pills, Lu Ping spent another year accumulating his spiritual energy to the peak of the Third Level of the Blood Condensation Realm.
Inside the lair, Lu Ping took out a jade box made of spirit jade from his storage ring. This jade box was specially used to store some valuable cultivation items. It could greatly preserve the spiritual energy of the items inside the box.
Lu Ping opened the jade box. Inside were four scarlet Condensed Blood Beads the size of peanuts. There was also a slightly smaller Condensed Blood Bead. The surface of the bead also had a faint glow.
These five Condensed Blood Beads were left behind by the two Green Sea Snakes that died in Lu Ping's hands. One of the Fourth Level Blood Condensation Realm spirit snakes left behind four larger beads. The other one was left behind by a Third Level Blood Condensation Realm spirit snake. The other two beads were destroyed by the spirit snakes' self-destruction.
Advancing from the Third Level of the Blood Condensation Realm to the Fourth Level of the Blood Condensation Realm was a watershed for a cultivator to advance from the Early Blood Condensation Realm to the Mid Blood Condensation Realm. The most important thing about this watershed was that the cultivator no longer had to use their foundation bloodline to fuse with the spiritual energy of other bloodlines in their body and then expel the wasted bloodlines. Instead, they had to use an external bloodline that had the same origin as the foundation bloodline to make up for the deficiency in the foundation bloodline.
This in itself was a kind of purification and strengthening of the foundation bloodline. After all, as the cultivator's cultivation increased, the spiritual energy contained in the auxiliary bloodlines that had yet to be fused with would also increase. The higher the cultivator's cultivation, the more difficult it would be to fuse with the auxiliary bloodline. This required the absolute strengthening of the foundation bloodline to be able to balance the other auxiliary bloodlines.
The so-called Blood Condensation Realm actually had two meanings. The first was to fuse with the spiritual energy of other bloodlines and expel the wasted bloodlines that had lost their spiritual energy. The second was to fuse with an external bloodline that had the same origin as the foundation bloodline to strengthen the foundation bloodline and make up for the deficiency in the foundation bloodline.
The best choice to use an external bloodline to make up for the foundation bloodline was naturally the Condensed Blood Bead. However, regardless of whether it was a cultivator or a demon, the Condensed Blood Bead was a treasure that concerned their lives. After a cultivator died, very few Condensed Blood Beads would be left behind. Lu Ping had obtained several Condensed Blood Beads after killing Qiao Xipeng. It couldn't be denied that his luck was heaven-defying.
However, when Lu Ping went on a killing spree in the seas around Xuan Qi Island, Fei Ling Island, and the buffer zone, he didn't even obtain a single Condensed Blood Bead. This showed how difficult it was to obtain a Condensed Blood Bead.
Lu Ping's foundation bloodline was the water-attributed Jiao Bloodline. Lu Ping also focused on cultivating pure water techniques. Even if he slowed down his cultivation speed, he still had to ensure that the spiritual energy he cultivated was pure and thick. Therefore, Lu Ping was extremely cautious when it came to fusing with external bloodlines.
The reason why the Green Sea Snakes were able to become nobles among the demon race was naturally due to their relatively pure Jiao Bloodline. These two Green Sea Snakes happened to have the water-attributed Jiao Bloodline, so they were the perfect items for Lu Ping to fuse with to replenish his foundation bloodline.
There was another reason why Lu Ping chose the Green Sea Snake bloodline.
Because of the Seventh Patriarch, every living creature in this world had seven types of bloodlines in their blood. As one of the seven types of bloodlines, the Jiao Bloodline allowed the Jiao Bloodline to enjoy a supreme status in this world.
However, in Lu Ping's innate knowledge, the Jiao Bloodline was just a type of Jiao Bloodline. Above it, there was another type of Jiao Bloodline, and that was the Dragon!
Lu Ping didn't know if dragons existed in this world. At the very least, there were no legends about dragons among the cultivators of this world.
According to the legends of the world that Lu Ping came from, if dragons really existed, then the Jiao Bloodline was just a branch of the Dragon's bloodline.
After Lu Ping entered the Blood Condensation Realm, he carefully researched the legends of the Jiao Bloodline in this world. He collected all kinds of pictures of the Jiao Bloodline and studied them carefully.
However, the results disappointed Lu Ping greatly. These pictures of the Jiao Bloodline were strange and had all kinds of images of Jiao Bloodlines. This puzzled Lu Ping. After asking Master Immortal Liu and Perfected Jiang Xuanlin, Lu Ping found out that these images of the Jiao Bloodline came from the Jiao Bloodline's Dharma Form, Laozu.
After a cultivator finished forging his Golden Core, his Golden Core would merge with his Divine Will and transform into a Dharma Form. The cultivator would then advance to the Dharma Form Realm.
The image of the Dharma Idol was the image of different Dharma Adepts in the Blood Condensation Realm. They had different understandings of different bloodlines and true spirits. The source of these understandings was the fusion of foreign bloodlines during the Blood Condensation Realm.
When a cultivator fused with the same type of Jiao Bloodline, his magic power and divine will would undergo some hidden changes. These changes would only appear after the cultivator reached the Dharma Form Realm and achieved Dharma Form.
Since Lu Ping had another identity, his deep-rooted view from the other world caused him to have another thought. This thought made him look down on the so-called Jiao Bloodline. Instead, he set his sights on a creature that didn't even exist in this world.
He was actually gambling! Gambling on this unknown but real creature!
He ordered Lu Dagui and the other spiritual pets to guard the lair that Lu Ping used for seclusion.
Lu Ping swallowed one of the fourth-level Condensed Blood Beads using the special refining method of the "North Sea Wave Listening Mantra". He slowly stripped the magic power and bloodline essence from the Condensed Blood Bead and refined them into Lu Ping's foundation bloodline.
Refining the Condensed Blood Bead was a slow process. It required the cultivator's foundation bloodline to completely fuse with the Condensed Blood Bead's bloodline essence and arcane energy. This process would inevitably cause some pain during the fusion process, which often made the cultivator wish they were dead. This was recorded in detail in the Blood Condensation Realm's cultivation process, and Lu Ping was prepared to face this challenge.
However, the fusion process made Lu Ping speechless again. Lu Ping's foundation bloodline once again displayed its unparalleled dominance. It directly devoured everything that was stripped from the Condensed Blood Bead, causing the originally slow fusion process to accelerate greatly. At the same time, the discomfort that accompanied the fusion process didn't appear at all.
This process once again allowed Lu Ping to witness the strength of his foundation bloodline after it mutated. However, this Condensed Blood Bead only brought Lu Ping one step closer to the mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm. It was far from allowing Lu Ping to break through to the fourth-level. Lu Ping was already prepared for this. He directly placed the second Condensed Blood Bead in his mouth.
The best way for a Blood Condensation cultivator to advance to the next level was naturally to refine a Condensed Blood Bead. However, there were different ways to refine a Condensed Blood Bead. Most cultivators could only refine a Condensed Blood Bead that matched their cultivation level. For example, a third-level Blood Condensation cultivator could refine a Condensed Blood Bead that matched their cultivation level.
Of course, it was better to refine a Condensed Blood Bead that matched a Condensed Blood Bead. However, refining a Condensed Blood Bead was different. Most cultivators could only refine a Condensed Blood Bead that matched their cultivation level. For example, a third-level Blood Condensation cultivator could only refine one or two Condensed Blood Beads to break through to the mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm.
After Lu Ping combined the [Sea Wave Listening Scripture] and [Sea Flying Spirits Treading the Sea] into the [North Sea Wave Listening Scripture], his arcane energy, which was already incomparably dense compared to other cultivators in the same realm, became even more abundant. Even a pure Fourth Layer Condensed Blood Bead couldn't help Lu Ping break through to the Mid Blood Condensation Realm.
Only after refining the third Condensed Blood Bead did Lu Ping feel that he had truly touched the barrier of the mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm. Lu Ping felt as though he could step into this realm at any time. However, this barrier in front of Lu Ping just couldn't be broken through.
Without any hesitation, Lu Ping placed the fourth Condensed Blood Bead into his mouth. His tyrannical foundation bloodline stripped away everything inside the Condensed Blood Bead and devoured it completely. Surging magic energy filled his blood. Accompanied by the powerful throbbing of his heart, the magic energy flowed through his entire body like a flood.
The three Condensed Blood Beads in his heart core finally grew to their maximum size. There was a ripple in space, and the fourth Condensed Blood Bead condensed out of thin air. Endless magic energy and bloodline essences gathered around the fourth Condensed Blood Bead, causing it to grow to half the size of the other three Condensed Blood Beads.
Just as Lu Ping condensed the fourth Condensed Blood Bead and successfully stepped into the mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm, the spiritual energy and essence in his blood finally permeated every part of his body. Finally, it strengthened Lu Ping's body. Surging essence energy surged out of his body and gathered above Lu Ping's head, forming a straight pillar of essence energy smoke!
