He Yiming's increasingly cold voice was heard. "Go ahead."
Hao Xue had a grim look on his face, but he could not do anything to the Netherworld Sect's assassin, who was adept in concealment art and camouflage art.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Since you know about the Blood Condensation Bead, you should know about the Hao family's Blood Condensation Art, right?"
"The Hao family's Tasm-distorting Art and Blood Condensation Art are renowned, so I naturally know about them."
Hao Xue smiled cheerfully. "The Hao family's Blood Condensation Art is a peculiar secret art that's famous for condensing enormous essential Qi in one's blood. Once it's performed, even if one encounters a higher-ranked powerhouse, one can only retreat."
Hao Xue's words were filled with pride, and he had unimaginable confidence in his family's lost art.
He Yiming sneered internally because Hao Xue praised the Blood Condensation Art to a seemingly limitless extent. However, in He Yiming's heart, he did not necessarily think so. Whether it was the Thirty-six Mountain-splitting Forms that he grasped, or the martial arts powers displayed by Jin Zhanjiang and the Qilian Twin Devils, they were not inferior to Hao Xue's.
Therefore, he smiled disdainfully and remarked coldly, "The Blood Condensation Art is indeed a lost art that can allow one to challenge someone of a higher rank, but there are many lost arts with equal powers in this world, so you don't have to praise it."
His tone was hard and carried a strong smell of gunpowder, which made Hao Xue furious. However, he was also a tough and ruthless person. Although he was furious in his heart, on the surface, he was even more calm and composed.
"Your Excellency, the Blood Condensation Art was created by Great Ancestor Netherworld from your sect," Hao Xue said plainly.
He Yiming was dumbfounded, and endless questions welled up in his mind. Jin Zhanjiang clearly said that the Tasm-distorting Art and the Blood Condensation Art were the Hao family's unique lost arts, and they had never been taught to outsiders. How could Hao Xue say that they were created by Great Ancestor Netherworld?
Hao Xue wore a smile on his face. The disciples of the Yellow Spring Sect worshipped Old Ancestor Yellow Spring like a god. Therefore, even if they did not believe it in their hearts, their attitude would be completely different after hearing it.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the Venerables of your sect at any time. They will give you an accurate answer." Hao Xue stopped smiling and noted sternly, "But I can tell that your cultivation base is close to that of a Venerable One. Perhaps you'll be able to become a Venerable One assassin by the time you get out. At that time, Old Ancestor Yellow Spring will meet you in person and reveal some secrets of the sect to you. Then, you will know whether I am telling the truth or not. "
He Yiming's heart thumped vigorously a few times. What this person said was truly inconceivable. It was as if he was more familiar with the sect than the assassins of the Yellow Spring Sect. He even seemed to have met Old Ancestor Yellow Spring before.
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through He Yiming's mind. He knew that the Hao Family of Changzhou and the Yellow Spring Sect, or rather, the Old Ancestor of the Yellow Spring Sect, must have a close relationship that was unknown to others.
Hao Xue and the other two looked at each other again. When they saw that He Yiming's arrogance had been completely suppressed, they felt very refreshed in their hearts. This was especially true for Fang Cheng.
He Yiming hesitated for a while before he asked carefully, "Since you've said so much, you should be able to get to the point now, right?"
Hao Xue nodded in satisfaction. The reason he spent so much time explaining the relationship between the Hao Family and Old Ancestor Yellow Spring was to make Ou Yangming fear them. Once Ou Yangming believed that the Hao Family and the Yellow Spring Sect were related, regardless of the outcome of the discussion later, he would not spread the news unscrupulously.
Seeing as Ou Yangming's tone softened, Hao Xue felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from his heart, and he sighed a long breath of relief.
"The Blood Coagulation Art is the Hao Family's greatest mystical art. Once one cultivates it successfully, one will have endless wonderful effects. The most mysterious thing about it is that it can stimulate one's potential. Under certain circumstances, one's potential can be condensed into one point." Hao Xue's expression was extremely solemn. That was indeed the greatest mystery of the Blood Coagulation Art. However, very few people truly knew about it.
"Under certain circumstances?" He Yiming was slightly startled, but he immediately understood. He said, "You're talking about the Crying Ghost Ridge."
Hao Xue nodded slightly and said, "You're right. Only in a place like the Crying Ghost Ridge, which is filled with the Qi of Heaven and Earth and Evil Yin Qi, can this step be completed."
He Yiming remained silent. It was clear that he was trying to discern the truth in Hao Xue's words.
Hao Xue and his companions did not rush him. They waited quietly.
After a long time, He Yiming asked, "How did you do it?"
Hao Xue replied calmly, "The Qi of Heaven and Earth here is extremely rich, and so is the Evil Yin Qi. Once a Three Flower Realm expert is hit by the Blood Coagulation Art, the blood in his body will temporarily stop flowing, allowing the Qi of Heaven and Earth and Evil Yin Qi to enter his body. When he loses his mind under the attack of the Evil Yin Qi and becomes a lunatic, he'll disregard everything and kill every living thing he sees. During this process, their bodies, their essence, and even their potential would constantly erupt. Once it's exhausted, the enormous Qi of Heaven and Earth here will become an endless source of power for him. Moreover, all of his potential will be forced into his brain to form a unique Blood Coagulation Pearl. "
After pausing for a moment, Hao Xue hesitated for a moment before adding, "This process will take about an hour. During this time, their potential will be fully stimulated, so their strength will greatly increase. This is also the reason why we chose the Three Flower experts."
A sharp glint flashed across He Yiming's eyes. At this moment, he finally understood why the three of them had to go through so much trouble to launch a sneak attack, and the reason why they had to obstruct him for an hour.
It was because they needed time — time for the lunatic's energy and potential to condense into a Blood Coagulation Pearl.
"You went through so much trouble to collect the Blood Coagulation Pearls, so they must be of great use." He Yiming's cold voice was heard. This was the most crucial question. "If I guessed correctly, the Blood Coagulation Pearls should be related to one's advancement into a Venerable One."
Hao Xue gave him a thumbs-up and praised, "Your Excellency, you're amazing indeed. You guessed correctly — the Blood Coagulation Pearls are closely related to one's advancement into a Venerable One indeed."
He Yiming's heart beat faster. He took a deep breath and said, "Go ahead."
Even with his current mental fortitude, when he said these words, he still faintly trembled a little.
Hao Xue grinned. He had not met He Yiming, but he could understand how he felt at the moment. After all, nothing was more important than advancing into a Venerable One for a Tripod Realm expert.
Once they knew there was a way to help them advance into a Venerable One, they would plunder it at all costs. Even if they had to go against everyone in the world, they would not hesitate to do so.
After hearing He Yiming's disguised voice, Hao Xue and the 2 others recalled how excited they were when they first heard about this and how similar they were to him.
"Your Excellency, you should've reached the Tripod Realm already, right?" Hao Xue suddenly asked.
He Yiming was slightly stunned. "What does whether I has reached the Tripod Realm or not have anything to do with you?"
"It has nothing to do with me, but only a Tripod Realm expert can use a Blood Coagulation Pearl," Hao Xue said seriously. "If you haven't advanced into a Tripod Realm, it's best that you don't hear about it. If not, your martial arts heart will be shaken, and I'm afraid that your achievements in this lifetime will come to an end."
He Yiming's heart trembled. He stared at Hao Xue. Hao Xue's face was indifferent. He couldn't tell if he was lying.
After some time, He Yiming said in a deep voice, "I's already advanced into a Tripod Realm, so you can tell me now."
Hao Xue nodded and said, "Please forgive my rudeness, but if you're really a Tripod Realm expert, please perform the Confinement Art on me."
He Yiming scoffed. "You don't believe me?"
"This is a serious matter, so I must be on guard," Hao Xue said leisurely, "If you're really a Tripod Realm expert, it'll be fine. However, if you're not a Tripod Realm expert and know the secret behind this, I'm afraid that you'll harbor resentment and be jealous. By then, I can't guess what you'll do. "
He Yiming thought for a while and asked, "Hehe, aren't you afraid that you'll infuriate me and make me spread the news everywhere?"
Hao Xue smiled confidently and said, "If you're a Tripod Realm expert, you'll surely join hands with us after you find out about this. If you're not a Tripod Realm expert, it doesn't make a difference whether I tell you or not. Therefore, you should find a way to prove your identity. "
He Yiming scoffed and gently raised a hand. Three points of Confinement Power were activated from his hand and firmly trapped Hao Xue in an instant.
Hao Xue's body twitched slightly and stopped. He said, "You can let go now."
He Yiming immediately cut off the essential Qi connection and let go.
Although he had restrained Hao Xue earlier, the effect of restraining an expert of the same level was actually not that great. Moreover, He Yiming also knew that if Hao Xue didn't have a foolproof plan, he wouldn't let him use the Confinement Technique. Therefore, He Yiming didn't have any plans to capture or kill Hao Xue.
Hao Xue's face became serious. He said, "Since you're indeed a Tripod Realm expert, I'll tell you the truth."
He Yiming listened attentively. As his ears twitched slightly, he gathered his spirit to the peak.
"The greatest function of a Blood Condensation Pearl is the life energy it contains. It's a treasure that a Three Flower Realm expert condenses his life's energy and potential. As long as you refine three Blood Condensation Pearls and send them into the three points of the Divine Soldier's Sharp Weapon, you'll be able to activate all of the life energy in them. " Hao Xue's expression was solemn, and his eyes flickered with a bright luster with a hint of madness.
He Yiming carefully digested Hao Xue's words. His heart surged with turbulent emotions, but he forced himself to calm down. He asked, "What are the consequences of activating the life energy?"
Hao Xue's eyes focused as he stared at He Yiming's body in the increasingly dense black fog. He uttered word by word, "Atomized Divine Soldier …"
