Su Ming longed to reach the Transcendence Realm. His understanding of the Transcendence Realm came not only from the beast skin scroll, but also from the elder's words over the past decade.
Su Ming knew that Transcendence was when the Blood Solidification Veins within a person's body reached a certain level and would undergo a drastic change. That change was akin to a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon. The Berserker would scatter the Blood Solidification Veins within their bodies and turn them into Berserker Blood. Then, they would use their own Berserker Blood to draw a Mark on their own body.
Everyone's Mark was different. There was no Berserker Mark in the world that was exactly the same. Even if they looked similar, there would still be differences. As for what kind of Berserker Mark they would draw, that would depend on the person. They would have to search for that faint feeling.
Yet similarly, if he could not find that feeling, then he would need to intentionally draw his Berserker Mark. Yet once he did so, his power would be much weaker.
That was why there were some who had already reached the Transcendence Realm but still chose not to draw their Berserker Mark. They did not want to have any regrets, that was why they forced themselves to stay at that stage and searched for that indescribable feeling.
Once a Berserker Mark was drawn, it could never be changed. The more complicated the Mark was, the more difficult it would be for the Berserker to practice it. It could not compare to those who drew simple Berserker Marks. Yet even though it was difficult, if a Berserker could master it, then those with complicated Berserker Marks would surpass those of the same level and become incredibly powerful!
The degree of success in reaching the Transcendence Realm was related to the number of Blood Solidifying Veins. The more Blood Solidifying Veins a Berserker had, the more likely he would be to succeed, and the more veins he had, the stronger he would be when he reached the initial stage of the Transcendence Realm.
In fact, if he could manifest more than 950 blood veins, then once he entered the Transcendence Realm, even those in the initial stage of the Transcendence Realm would not be able to fight against him. His abilities might not be as good as those in the middle stage of the Transcendence Realm, but he would still be considered powerful among those in the initial stage of the Transcendence Realm.
However, the number of blood veins was only around seven hundred and eighty-one. Even if it was increased again, it would be difficult for it to reach nine hundred. As a result, unless one had great determination, great perseverance, great luck, extreme confidence in oneself, or the protection of a tribe, no one would be able to persist in increasing blood veins for a long period of time without dying.
Moreover, once the blood veins reached a certain level, it was not something that could be increased over time. Often, it would take more than ten years to increase one more blood vein.
It was difficult to Transcend, but if you were satisfied with it, then you could say that it was easy. Even if you did not need to search for more than 900 blood veins, it was not as if there were no Transcended Berserkers with around 800 blood veins. Everything depended on the person's will.
Once a Berserker Transcended, no matter what method he used to draw his Berserker Mark, he would need to use the initial power of the Berserker Mark to refine an item in his body. That item would become the first Origin Berserker Vessel of the Transcendence Realm!
This Berserker Vessel was incredibly important to all those who had reached the Transcendence Realm.
That was why those who were at the peak of the Blood Solidification Realm and had the chance to enter the Transcendence Realm at any time would prepare these items beforehand, in case they did not have any good items to refine once they Transcended, which would bring them inconvenience and regret.
Unless they were prodigies from powerful tribes, they did not need to prepare anything. Their elders would prepare everything they needed beforehand. After all, Transcendence was a major event for any middle-sized tribe.
Su Ming had once heard the elder mention something about this item. To ensure that the item would not reject the user when he refined it, he would need to gather a drop of his blood and drip it on the item. Once in a while, he would need to do this. Only by doing so would he feel as if his Qi was connected to the item and prevent any accidents from happening when he Transcended in the future.
At that moment, there was a white diamond-shaped leaf in the white stone box in Su Ming's hands. The shape of the leaf may have been strange, but the veins on it were clear. It was indeed a leaf.
There was a drop of blood on the leaf. There was not much blood left and it had become sticky. A third of the veins on the leaf had already turned red.
'This is the item He Feng prepared to refine for Transcendence!' Su Ming looked at the white leaf in the box and his eyes sparkled. The value of this item far surpassed those stone coins. It could even be said that its value was immeasurable.
To those who had prepared for Transcendence, this item might not be of much use, but to those who did not prepare well, the value of this item was enough to make them spend all their money.
Since He Feng placed this item in such an expensive stone box, it was clear that it was not an ordinary item. After all, he was a member of Han Mountain Tribe in the past. Even if Han Mountain Tribe was destroyed, if he could leave behind an item like the purple bag and an important treasure, then he could definitely leave behind a good item to refine for Transcendence.
Su Ming stared at the leaf in the stone box and lifted his right hand. He flicked the leaf lightly and the power of his Qi surged into it. As it trembled, the sticky blood on the leaf was immediately bounced off and turned into a ball of fire in midair, burning away without leaving a trace.
He Feng's blood may no longer be on the leaf, but there was still some blood that had fused into the veins on the leaf. He could not force it out within a short period of time, but Su Ming was patient.
'If I can't find something better, then I'll use this item to refine if I Transcend one day.' Su Ming closed the stone box carefully and his gaze fell on the last item.
It was a black mask that seemed to be able to absorb gazes.
Su Ming picked up the mask and looked at it for a long time, but he still could not find anything off about it. In silence, he lowered his head and looked at the unconscious He Feng. He got up and walked to He Feng's side, then slowly placed the mask on He Feng's face.
His face was alert. When the mask was placed on He Feng's face, he paid attention to the changes in his body. Even when the mask was placed on He Feng's face, there was still no change.
The mask was black. Once it covered He Feng's face, it made him look like he had turned into a different person. The mask did not have all his facial features. There were only two holes for his eyes, causing his entire face to exude a ghastly air. Su Ming frowned. He was just about to take off the mask when his expression suddenly changed.
In his eyes, He Feng's body gradually became faintly discernible, as if he had turned into a blur. The only thing that could be seen clearly was the mask.
Su Ming let out a soft gasp of surprise and took off the mask from He Feng's face. He also used his Qi to observe He Feng's body. Once he was certain that there were no changes to He Feng's body, he relaxed and took a few steps back. He was just about to try putting the mask on his face when Su Ming hesitated for a moment.
He did not put it on. Instead, he cast a few glances at it before putting it into the purple bag.
'He Feng is too cunning. I have to be careful!' Su Ming fell silent. Among all the items, the mask was the most suspicious, but he could not be certain. Once he put everything away, he looked at He Feng's unconscious body and brought out the herbs needed to create Spirit Plunder. He went up and poked a bloody hole in He Feng's body, then planted the herbs on his body one by one according to the refinement method in his head.
Su Ming could not tell what was so special about those herbs, but once they were planted on He Feng's body, they rapidly withered away before his eyes, and very soon, they disappeared into the bloody holes on his body.
When Su Ming saw this, he was not surprised. Instead, a brilliant glint appeared in his eyes. There was a description of what happened before his eyes in the steps to create Spirit Plunder in his head. This meant that He Feng's body fulfilled the requirements for creating Spirit Plunder, and he should have a good body for planting herbs.
The herbs may have withered, but in truth, they had left behind seeds in He Feng's body. With his body as a cauldron, they would slowly grow. Once they reached a certain stage, they could be created.
Once Su Ming planted all the herbs in He Feng's body, he sat down cross-legged and brought out the black bone he bought from Han Mountain City. He also brought out the white bone from He Feng's bag. After comparing them, he brought out two herbs from the bag and planted them on the bone.
Since he could not find any clues within a short period of time, Su Ming placed the two bones together with He Feng.
'If I can use the white bone, then I only need three herbs and one beast bone to create Spirit Plunder. 'I wonder how many of those three herbs Fang Mu will be able to find.' Su Ming thought about it and decided not to think about it anymore. Instead, he brought out the beast skin and the wooden slip from He Feng's bag and started reading them in the quiet cave.
'I'm not in a hurry to go to the place where He Feng hid the treasure. It won't be too late once everything is safe. I just don't know what sort of treasure it is …' Su Ming thought about it as he read the wooden slip.
Time passed by slowly, and soon, two days went by. During these two days, Su Ming would sometimes observe his' medicinal cauldron ', sometimes he would look at the two herbs planted on the bone, and he would also pay attention to the changes in the world around him. Other than that, he spent the rest of his time learning the Branding Art on the wooden slip.
It was just as He Feng said. The Art was amazing, and it was not difficult to learn. However, the Branding Art did not use the power of Qi in his body. Even if Su Ming had already mastered the Art, he did not know the gist of it and could not cast it.
He lifted his right hand and made a jerky gesture, as if he was pinching his fingers together. He pushed forward a few times, but he did not feel anything.
'What Art is this?' Su Ming scratched his head and looked at the unconscious He Feng. He gave up on the idea of waking him up. While he was unconscious, his body was trembling slightly, as if he was in great pain. If he was woken up, there might be more problems, especially since Xuan Lun might have already returned.
Su Ming put away the wooden slip and calmed himself down. He picked up the beast skin from He Feng's bag. There were two Berserker Arts recorded on it. Su Ming had briefly scanned through them a few days ago. Now, he focused his attention on them, but soon, uncertainty appeared on his face.
'I can practice these Berserker Arts with 20 blood veins, and once I manifest 99 blood veins, I can bring out the full potential of these two Berserker Arts … This beast skin is completely useless, unless it's something from He Feng Tribe and he kept it as a remembrance.' Su Ming looked at the beast skin carefully and placed it by his side. He frowned and looked at the unconscious He Feng.
'This person is quite intelligent. It's understandable if he left behind an item that carries his memories … but … I still feel that something's not right.' Su Ming grabbed the beast skin beside him and looked at it once again, but he still could not find anything.
'Could it be that my guess was wrong..?' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He brought the beast skin to his nose and sniffed it. His eyes instantly lit up.
Yet at that moment, a muffled roar suddenly came from outside. The roars of wild beasts were mixed in with the roar. It seemed that something had happened in the rainforest outside.
Su Ming immediately put away the beast skin with a cautious look on his face. His heart pounded against his chest as he went to the entrance of the cave and looked outside cautiously.
