Tsing Hui summoned the Saint Winged Dragonhawk and brought Xie Ren into the Saint Winged Dragonhawk. At the same time, he took out the blood-red statue.
With a flash of sword light, blood splattered onto the blood-red statue. The statue, which was already bright red, suddenly glowed red. A thin layer of blood mist quickly appeared on the surface of the statue. The blood mist covered Xie Ren's body. Xie Ren screamed in pain as it quickly enveloped him.
Tsing Hui stared at the blood-red statue in front of him. He was completely focused, not wanting to miss a single detail.
After a short while, the blood mist had completely corroded Xie Ren's body, turning him into a part of the blood mist. This thicker blood mist quickly returned to the blood-red statue, making the blood-red color of the statue seem even redder.
Tsing Hui's gaze lingered on the blood-red statue for a while. When the redness gradually dissipated, his gaze finally landed on the statue's open right palm.
In the center of its palm, there was a broken blood-red crystal.
However, compared to the broken crystal that Tsing Hui had taken away earlier, this one was sixty times smaller. It was only about one percent the size of a complete blood-red crystal.
In other words, if Qing Xu wanted the blood-red statue to produce a complete crystal that could be exchanged for ten Rhymes of Ways, he would need to kill at least a hundred cultivators with the bloodlines of divine beasts. As a matter of fact, it was even possible that cultivators with higher realms and purer bloodlines would be able to offer even more crystals.
A hundred cultivators with Divine Beast bloodlines sounded like a lot. After all, in the entire Eastern Wilderness, there were only ten to twenty cultivators with Divine Beast bloodlines. In the entire continent, there were less than three hundred cultivators with Divine Beast bloodlines. At most, it was equivalent to thirty Tao Rhymes. It was not worthy of its status as a Divine Beast. However, one should not forget that compared to Tianhuang, the Eastern Wilderness was heavily monopolized by Divine Codices. The cultivation level of the Eastern Wilderness was much lower. Furthermore, the number of cultivators was far less than Tianhuang. If this ratio was applied to Tianhuang …
The number of cultivators with Divine Beast bloodlines would increase by at least a hundred times!
A hundred times!
Only more, no less.
That would be three thousand Tao Rhymes!
Coupled with the cultivators with Divine Beast bloodlines from other continents, this number would double …
Finally …
Ten thousand!
Thinking of this, Tsing Hui's pupils suddenly shrank.
10,000 Daoist Rhymes, what kind of concept was that!?
Back then, countless mighty figures had fought and even shattered the Divine Wilderness. The item that carried the Dao contained only a few thousand Dao charms and had yet to break through ten thousand. Once the value of the blood-colored statue in front of him was excavated to its limit, it could bring him more than ten thousand Dao charms …
One could imagine that once this news spread out, countless peerless experts who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests would come out of seclusion and fight over this supreme divine object. The entire continent would be swept up in a storm of blood because of this blood-colored statue.
"Hu!"
Tsing Hui panted heavily.
Not long ago, he felt that this blood-colored statue was a bit useless. It didn't have the hundreds of dao runes that Xia Chen had mentioned, but now, after his experiment …
The value of ten thousand Daoist Rhymes had truly frightened Qing Xu.
But soon …
He gradually calmed down.
Ten thousand Daoist Rhymes was just an imaginary number after all.
In order to obtain these 10,000 Daoist Rhymes, he would have to destroy the entire world!
That's right!
It was the entire world!
The upper limit of a ferocious beast's growth was the immortal-level. According to the ranking of the ferocious beasts, some of the weaker ones could only grow to the third or fourth level of the immortal-level. The upper limit of a spirit beast's growth was the Saint-level. It was the same principle.
However, in order to grow to the Saint-level with a spirit beast's bloodline, one had to awaken an outstanding bloodline among the spirit beasts, one had to have an extraordinary background with a large amount of resources, or one could only rely on one's own talent and comprehension. Those who did not meet these three criteria, even if they were lucky enough to break through to the Saint-level, would need to spend an extremely long time, and might even become old.
Spirit beasts were already like this, and above that was the Saint-level corresponding to the Saint-level beasts.
In theory, only Saint-level Saint-level beasts could cultivate to the peak of the Saint-level.
But in theory, it was like the lifespan of a mortal.
In theory, a mortal's lifespan could reach 150 years, but how many people could actually live to that stage?
Therefore, those who truly stood at the peak of the world were usually those who awakened the bloodline of the divine beasts.
Those who could cultivate the bloodline of the divine beasts were usually those who stood at the peak.
If Tsing Hui really wanted to go for these 10,000 Daoist Rhymes, he would definitely become the enemy of the entire world.
Such a consequence …
It was definitely not something he could bear now.
Instead of pinning his hopes on the blood-colored statue, he might as well think of unifying the world and continuously excavating the treasures that carried the Daoist Rhymes in the world. In the end, the benefits would not necessarily be any worse than destroying the world.
"This divine object is really extremely evil … It actually wants people to destroy the world …"
Tsing Hui collected his thoughts and put the blood-colored statue into his personal space. He then activated the Saint-winged Dragonhawk and went to the sea region where Nalan Fei was waiting.
"How is it?"
Seeing that Tsing Hui had put away the Saint-winged Dragonhawk, Nalan Fei flew over on her sword.
"We have already tested the use of the blood-colored statue. This blood-colored statue … is very evil … Sacrificing a living being with a powerful bloodline can indeed make it bestow a treasure, and this treasure is the blood-colored crystal that contains the Daoist Rhymes. However, the price to pay to obtain a complete blood-colored crystal is too high. Even if we kill all the living beings with the bloodline of the divine beasts in the entire Eastern Wilderness, we can only obtain three or four blood-colored crystals in the end, which is 30 to 40 Daoist Rhymes."
Nalan Fei nodded when she heard Qing Xu's words. "According to what you have said, this item is indeed evil. Other than those great evildoers of the demonic path who are astonishingly powerful and would easily sacrifice a city, a country or an entire continent, no one else is able to use it to its full potential. Moreover, even if those great evildoers of the demonic path use this item to continuously sacrifice and obtain a great amount of benefits, they will definitely offend one or many almighty beings and end up being killed by the other party … after all, those who can awaken the bloodline of a divine beast more or less have powerful connections. They might even be disciples that some mysterious expert has secretly taken in …"
"That's right. This statue shouldn't be called a divine item, but a demonic item. Although possessing it seems to be equivalent to possessing the ticket to the peak … the hidden dangers behind it are enough to cause people to lose their lives. This can be seen from Bei Xiao's end."
"When I look at this item, I feel a kind of tremble from my soul. It can be seen that I can't resist the mysterious power in it at all. In the end, I can't resist using this blood-colored statue and fall into the demonic path. For safety's sake, this blood-colored statue should be kept by you, Tsing Hui. Your spiritual will is stronger than mine, so it's safer to leave it with you."
Nalan Fei added, "If you also feel that it's difficult to resist, I'll tell my master and give it to Purple Xiao Taoist Priest."
"Leave it with me for the time being. I'll leave it in a corner of my personal space. It won't affect anything."
"Alright, then you be careful."
Tsing Hui nodded. At the same time, he said regretfully, "It's a pity that Xie Ren's corpse was destroyed after he sacrificed himself to the blood-colored statue. I'm afraid you won't be able to take his head to receive the reward."
"Are there any symbolic things he left behind?"
"Does his flying sword and divine weapon count?"
As Qing Xu said that, he took out all his flying swords and divine weapons.
"A grade 5 flying sword. Good stuff. I won't give this flying sword to the Hunyuan Heaven Sect. The sect's reward is only a grade 6 divine weapon, and its value may not be higher than this flying sword. But this divine weapon … is enough to prove that I killed Xie Ren. This is a great contribution, and it will be of great benefit to my status in the Hunyuan Heaven Sect."
"Up to you."
Tsing Hui chuckled. "Since the matter here has been resolved, I'll return to the sea first. The Life Moon Alliance has just been established, and there are still many things to deal with. In particular, the Blood Dragon King is eyeing us covetously. It's not good to leave for too long, lest the Blood Dragon King has an opportunity to take advantage of."
"Alright, go ahead. The Life Moon Alliance is currently one of the top factions in the sea. As this faction officially enters the Hunyuan Heaven Sect's sights, I'm afraid it won't be long before a deputy sect master level figure comes to recruit you. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances from occurring, I will do my best to break through to the Spirit Qi Unity stage. At that time, I will become a peak master and bring you into the Hunyuan Heaven Sect's territory. At that time, those deputy sect master level figures won't have any excuse to mobilize the Hunyuan Heaven Sect's forces to deal with you."
Tsing Hui nodded.
The vice-sect master of the Hunyuan Heaven Sect was different from the vice-sect master of the Green Lotus Sword Sect.
The Hunyuan Heaven Sect was a second-tier top sect. In the entire Eastern Wilderness, only the Creation Mystical Sect and the Limitless Sword Sect dared to say that they were superior to it. As for the Green Lotus Sword Sect, it was one level lower than the Hunyuan Heaven Sect, which had a Saint stage expert.
The number of supreme elders in such a sect was several times that of the Green Lotus Sword Sect. Naturally, they were not as noble as the supreme elders of the Green Lotus Sword Sect. If a vice-sect master was willing to pay some benefits, it would not be difficult to ask a supreme elder to help.
Nalan Fei had a faint smile on her face. "Speaking of which, I never thought that you, who was not very talented in the Cloud Desolate City back then, would reach such a level. Not only have you cultivated to the level where you can fight against a Green Netherworld stage expert, but you have also created such a large force in the sea. It's a little unbelievable just thinking about it."
"It's just a coincidence. In fact, it's not just you. I also never thought that I would be able to reach such a level.
"Even if you rely on a deputy sect master, you'll still be able to obtain an extremely high status. But now, you'll have to submit to a peak master like me. Speaking of which, I'm taking advantage of you. When my peak is truly established and I obtain your support, it will become the number one peak in the Hunyuan Heaven Sect. Its reputation will be strong enough to compete with a deputy sect master.
"Then I will wait for the day you establish your peak."
Qing Xu smiled. Just when he was about to add something, he received a frantic message from Ling Yue in the personal space of the Chaos Divine Hall, "Young master, there's been a change in the ocean. Please return immediately!"
