On a small island less than three hundred kilometers inland in the Hunyuan Heaven Sect.
Tsing Hui and Nalan Fei were riding on a Sacred Winged Dragonhawk.
"I've obtained the divine artifact left behind by senior Bei Xiao, but this divine artifact is a little strange. Aunty, you need to be prepared."
"Strange?"
Nalan Fei nodded slightly when she heard Tsing Hui's words. "I did hear Bei Xiao mention this before he died. Take it out."
Seeing this, Tsing Hui took out the blood-coloured statue that contained the life force pressure of a high-level expert.
As soon as the blood-coloured statue was taken out by Tsing Hui, the bone-chilling feeling from the statue made Tsing Hui's heart palpitate incessantly. He faintly felt that his soul was trembling slightly. As long as he stood there, there was a great fear entrenched in his soul, as if it wanted to use the power of fear to force him to kneel down and worship the blood-coloured statue in front of him to show his submission.
Tsing Hui's Spirit level had already reached the level of a Vision Saint stage expert of the Longevity stage 6, and his sword intent had almost reached the great success stage when his comprehension had reached the fifth order. However, his performance in front of the blood-coloured statue was still so unbearable, let alone Nalan Fei.
The moment she saw the blood-coloured statue, Nalan Fei's face turned deathly pale. Her star-like pupils constantly shrank, and her delicate body trembled slightly. Not long after, she couldn't help but bend her knees, as if she was about to kneel down.
Seeing this, Tsing Hui hurriedly waved his hand and stored the blood-coloured statue in his personal space.
Seeing the blood-colored statue disappear, Nalan Fei was slightly startled. There was a sense of loss on her face, as if the most important thing in her heart had been taken away by someone. However, when she came back to her senses a moment later, she was already drenched in sweat, and her face was filled with lingering fear.
"This statue..."
Nalan Fei looked at where the blood-coloured statue was and gasped for breath. "What is it?"
"You don't know?"
Tsing Hui looked at Nalan Fei in confusion. "Bei Xiao didn't tell you about the effects of this divine item?"
"He … said …"
Nalan Fei carefully recalled the information she had heard when she received Bei Xiao's inheritance. "This divine object has terrifying power. If a creature with a powerful bloodline is sacrificed in front of the statue, they will receive the most precious gift …"
"Sacrifice living beings with powerful bloodlines in front of the statue … to obtain precious blessings …"
Tsing Hui said to Nalan Fei, "Step back."
After saying that, he took out the blood-red statue again.
The blood-red statue was actually a four-meter-tall man shrouded in a black robe.
The man's face was covered by the black robe and couldn't be seen clearly. He was still holding a sword in one hand and his other hand was slightly open in front of him. In his palm, there was a red crystal-like substance. However, this crystal seemed to be a little damaged and looked like it was only six-tenths of its complete form.
What was strange was that the blood-red crystal gem was clearly in the statue's hand, but it didn't fall when Tsing Hui moved the statue. It was as if there was an invisible force enveloping the blood-red crystal and the statue.
After thinking for a moment, Tsing Hui went forward and picked up the blood-red crystal.
When his fingers touched the blood-red crystal, he vaguely saw countless vengeful spirits letting out hateful roars and wails. They charged straight at his spiritual world. He was so shocked that his right hand trembled and the blood-red crystal fell to the ground.
"Tsing Hui?"
Nalan Fei, who was hundreds of meters away, noticed Tsing Hui's abnormality and called out from afar.
Tsing Hui quickly came back to his senses and said, "I'm fine."
At the same time, the Chaos Temple's notification sounded in his mind.
"Discovered Dao Vessel. It contains Six Daoist Rhymes. Do you want to fuse it?"
He immediately looked at the blood-red crystal again.
"Dao Vessel?"
After hesitating for a moment, Tsing Hui prepared himself to be attacked mentally. He reached out and picked up the blood-red crystal.
However, when he picked up the blood-red crystal again, the terrifying roars and wails that he expected didn't come. He calmly held the Dao Vessel that contained Six Daoist Rhymes in his hand.
"What's going on?"
Tsing Hui was puzzled. "According to what Xia Tian said, the value of this divine object is probably no less than a Dao Vessel that contains hundreds of Daoist Rhymes. Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to exchange so many treasures for it. However, even if I put the blood-red statue in front of me, the Chaos Temple didn't give me any notification. Obviously, the statue itself doesn't contain Daoist Rhymes. The only thing that contains Daoist Rhymes is the broken red crystal in the statue's hand … Although there are Daoist Rhymes in it, there are only six of them."
Six Daoist Rhymes …
This number was so low that it made one's hair stand on end.
After hesitating for a moment, Tsing Hui put the blood-red statue back into his personal space.
Seeing this, Nalan Fei quickly stepped forward. "Tsing Hui, have you figured out what's so special about this divine object?"
Tsing Hui shook his head. "It seems like the true use of this divine object lies in the sentence left behind by Bei Xiao …"
"That sentence? Sacrificing creatures with powerful bloodlines? "
"Yes."
"Powerful bloodlines … Those with powerful bloodlines have to be at least at the level of a Holy Beast … But with our current strength, we can't kill a Holy Beast …"
Tsing Hui had a Holy Beast, Xuanwu.
However …
The Holy Beast Black Tortoise had been by his side all these years, and it had been cautious and conscientious. Without making any mistakes, he could not kill the Black Tortoise to test if it met the standard of the blood-colored statue's "powerful bloodline".
"The bloodline of a Holy Beast is powerful, but we humans can also awaken powerful bloodlines. The best of us can even awaken the bloodline of a Divine Beast, let alone the bloodline of a Holy Beast. It's just that the bloodline of a Divine Beast that has just awakened is far from being as pure as a real Divine Beast. If we find a cultivator who has awakened the bloodline of a Divine Beast, kill him, and sacrifice him to this statue, we'll be able to determine if the statue's function is as we've guessed …"
Tsing Hui looked at the blood-red crystal in his hand as he spoke.
A treasure bestowed?
The blood-red crystal was a treasure bestowed by this divine object …
If that was really the case …
This statue couldn't be called a divine object, but a demonic creature!
A demonic creature that relied on sacrificing living beings to survive.
Not long ago, our Hunyuan Heaven Sect issued an arrest warrant for a demonic cultivator who has reached the intermediate stage of Yin-Qi unification. He calls himself Xie Ren, and we don't know where this cultivator obtained our Hunyuan Heaven Sect's Black Hole Sutra and awakened the bloodline of the divine beast Kunpeng. Although he didn't have the corresponding cultivation method and was already weak at the True Qi stage, he still managed to cultivate Saint Tier Gang Qi. In addition, he seems to be a tenth level Son of Chaos and possesses Divine Arts, which makes him a great threat to our Hunyuan Heaven Sect. He has provoked us several times, but because he is well-informed, he won't attack unless he is confident. Once the Hunyuan Heaven Sect's supreme elders personally take action to kill him, he will be able to avoid them. As a result, he has been able to get away scot-free for three months. On the contrary, our Hunyuan Heaven Sect has lost several true disciples and more than a dozen ordinary elders in order to capture and kill him. "
"A tenth-level Son of Chaos who cultivated saint grade Gang Qi? The Hunyuan Heaven Sect didn't recruit him? "
"This person's hatred for the Hunyuan Heaven Sect runs extremely deep, and he specifically goes against the Hunyuan Heaven Sect. The Hunyuan Heaven Sect has tried to recruit him, but he has refused time and time again, and even killed the envoys who tried to recruit him. The Hunyuan Heaven Sect has already lost its patience, and the bounty on his head has already reached the level of a Tier 6 Divine Weapon.
"Okay, I'll cooperate with you to kill this person and build momentum for your ascension to the peak master's throne."
"En, I'll also spread the news. Currently, my cultivation has reached the peak of the Spirit Refining realm and I've cultivated saint grade Gang Qi. Among the true disciples of the Hunyuan Heaven Sect, I can be considered as the number one. As long as I can ensure that I don't have a protective talisman given to me by the sect master or the supreme elder, Xie Ren will definitely come to kill me. Moreover, you and I have nothing to do with each other. Although you're a little famous overseas, it probably hasn't spread to the mainland yet. Many people in the mainland probably only know about you from the time you left the Lorraine Kingdom. I believe that Xie Ren won't suspect anything."
Nalan Fei paused for a moment before continuing, "With your contribution in helping me kill Xie Ren, I'll recruit you to my peak in the future. I'm sure you won't be criticized in the Hunyuan Heaven Sect."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
"En, the only problem now is to find where Xie Ren is."
"That's simple. Didn't you say that Xie Ren is well-informed and that it's very likely that there's a spy in the Hunyuan Heaven Sect? Then we'll beat him at his own game. As long as we make him believe that you don't have a supreme elder behind you, with his saint grade Gang Qi and Divine Arts, he'll definitely attack you."
Tsing Hui said.
His words caused Nalan Fei to be taken aback for a moment. She quickly muttered, "You're right. I don't plan on borrowing the power of the Hunyuan Heaven Sect's grand elder to kill him. Instead, the news from his spy in the Hunyuan Heaven Sect will make him feel more at ease. I'll use the opportunity of reaching the Spirit Qi Unity stage as bait to lure him into attacking me. With his hatred for the Hunyuan Heaven Sect, what could be more satisfying than killing a peak master disciple who's about to break through?"
"Exactly."
Tsing Hui smiled. "In order to show that we're open and aboveboard, I'll stay by your side as your bodyguard."
Nalan Fei nodded with a smile, "Even if Xie Ren's information network is better, he probably won't care about you even if he finds out that you're the Island Master of Dragon Slaying Island. He's not weaker than an expert at the peak of the Spirit and Qi Unison Realm. Plus, he has the Divine Art. As long as it's not one of the top ten experts overseas, he'll probably kill anyone who comes."
"Let's start fishing."
"Okay!"
After learning about Tsing Hui's true battle strength, Nalan Fei didn't mind that his Divine Arts had yet to recover.
He was an advanced Spirit Qi Unity stage cultivator with many treasures. As long as Xie Ren took the bait, he would die regardless of whether he used his Divine Arts or not.
