"Bam … Bam … Bam …"
He Yiming could hear his heart beating fast and powerfully after Hao Xue uttered those words.
'Vaporized Divine Soldier …'
If a Tripod Foot cultivator wanted to become a real Venerable One with the 3 flowers at One's Prominence, one must completely merge essential Qi with the Divine Soldier and absorb it into one's body.
To do that, vaporizing the Divine Soldier would be the only option.
In a way, only after successfully vaporizing the Divine Soldier could one absorb it into one's body and become a mighty Venerable One.
Similarly, as long as one could vaporize the Divine Soldier, one would be halfway to becoming a Venerable One. As long as one absorbed the Divine Soldier into one's body and cultivated in isolation for a period, one could use the Divine Soldier to communicate with Heaven and Earth's power to grasp various unique abilities that belonged to a Venerable One.
According to Hao Xue, as long as one could collect 3 Blood Condensation Pearls, the forceful barrier between a Tripod Foot cultivator and a Venerable One would disappear. All one needed to do was to cultivate for a certain period of time to successfully break through the limit.
At this moment, He Yiming was certain that if this matter were to spread out, all the experts in the world would go crazy over it.
He took a deep breath. Slowly, his violently beating heart calmed down.
Hao Xue and the other 2 men waited quietly without showing any impatience. After all, they had experienced this moment before, so they knew how turbulent He Yiming's heart was at the moment. If He Yiming showed an indifferent appearance, it would instead arouse doubts in their hearts.
He Yiming finally spoke after a long time, "I see. No wonder you walked together after entering the Crying Ghost Ridge and didn't cultivate."
Hao Xue's face froze. "Your Excellency, you're also a Tripod Foot powerhouse, so what do you think after hearing this?" He paused for a while before he continued, "Please tell me the truth — if you're presented with such an opportunity, what would you choose? Would you choose to continue cultivating and strive for the one-in-a-hundred chance to become a Venerable One, or would you use an unusual method to ensure that you'll succeed? "
He Yiming quickly calculated, but he made a sad discovery after a brief moment. In fact, he could not grasp it anymore.
The Divine Soldier, which could vaporize 100%, was too tempting.
It was like a person who had been starving for 3 days and was about to starve to death suddenly saw a table of delicious food. Even if the person knew that the food was poisonous arsenic, he would choose to die with a full stomach.
It was an irresistible temptation for a martial arts powerhouse; even He Yiming could not resist it.
"Your Excellency, you're already aware of the Blood Condensation Pearls' function. Besides, I can tell you the truth — other than me, no other cultivator below Venerable One grasps the marvelous secret technique, the Blood Condensation Art. " Hao Xue's voice was full of temptation. "We'll only be in the Crying Ghost Ridge for a month at most. If you join us, perhaps we'll be able to collect enough Blood Condensation Pearls in the remaining 10 days. If you act alone, you'll surely end up empty-handed."
He Yiming rolled his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "How many Blood Condensation Pearls have you collected?"
Hao Xue hesitated for a while because he knew it was a crucial moment. If he intentionally kept it a secret, it would be detrimental to the cooperation.
This was because if each of them collected 3 Blood Condensation Pearls, the 4 of them would have to collect 12 Blood Condensation Pearls to satisfy everyone. With each additional person that they plotted against, the risk of being exposed would increase exponentially. Therefore, they could not hide the actual number, or it would be difficult to clean up the mess.
He lifted his head and said sincerely, "The 3 of us have been in the Crying Ghost Ridge for 20 days, and we've plotted against 9 people so far. Apart from the person next to you, we've also failed twice, so we've collected 6 Blood Condensation Pearls."
He Yiming responded softly as if he was talking to himself, "6 Blood Condensation Pearls, 7 Blood Condensation Pearls in total. If each of us wants 3 Blood Condensation Pearls, we'll need 5 Blood Condensation Pearls."
Hao Xue's voice was deep with a hint of ruthlessness. "If we can get the help of the Netherworld Sect's Camouflage and Concealment Art, we should be able to collect 5 Blood Condensation Pearls in 5 days."
He Yiming's eyes were filled with killing intent. 5 Blood Condensation Pearls meant 5 lives, and they were the lives of 5 Three Flower Boundary experts.
However, those lives were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the 3 of them. They were just raw materials for the Blood Condensation Pearls.
Their mentality was infinitely close to that of a devil.
At that moment, He Yiming thought about the great battle between the East and the West, as well as the Crying Ghost Ridge.
Deep down in his heart, something seemed to have stabbed it hard, causing him to feel a faint pain.
The further one walked on the path of martial arts, the colder and more ruthless one would become. Perhaps one day, he would also become like these centenarians, doing everything for the sake of their own interests and throwing all worldly wisdom to the back of his mind.
That said, that was definitely not the time for that.
He Yiming tightened his grip on his sword, and his essential Qi boiled, but his tone was the complete opposite of his mood.
He responded with a gratified tone, "Alright, I accept your invitation."
Hao Xue and the other two were overjoyed. They had discussed for so long, and even revealed everything without holding back, just so that they could gain Ou Yangming's forgiveness.
As long as Ou Yangming agreed to join forces, everything would be fine.
Whether they were really joining forces or waiting for an opportunity to kill Ou Yangming, the current crisis would be resolved.
That said, Zhu Guanhao's face suddenly froze, and he exclaimed, "That's not right."
Everyone tensed up at the same time, and He Yiming's heart almost stopped beating.
He Yiming was extremely depressed in his heart. In order to conceal his killing intent, he even half-closed and half-opened his eyes. If he was still detected by the other party like this, then He Yiming even had the thought of committing suicide.
Fang Cheng quickly asked, "Brother Zhu, what did you notice?"
He Yiming and Hao Xue's ears perked up. They were waiting for Zhu Guanhao to say something unfavorable to them. Then, they would immediately make a move. Even if the success rate wasn't high, they would still try their best to try it.
That said, Zhu Guanhao did not seem to notice the hostile atmosphere at all. His voice was hurried and filled with fear.
"Did you notice that the black fog here has become much thicker?"
Everyone was stunned at the same time, then their faces changed.
A thought immediately flashed through He Yiming's mind. Before entering the Crying Ghost Ridge, Jin Zhanzhong had instructed that there was a forbidden area in the ridge, which was the highest peak of the ridge. There was a very obvious feature there, which was that the fog was much thicker than below. Even with their strength, they could only see the scenery within three steps of them.
When they parted, Jin Zhanzhong had repeatedly warned them that if they really walked into such an area, they must leave immediately no matter what.
Although they did not know what dangers there were in the thick fog, since it could make Jin Zhanzhong so nervous, it was definitely not a good thing.
However, He Yiming did not panic at this moment because among everyone, only he knew that the reason why the fog suddenly became so thick was not because they had reached the top of the mountain, but because he was constantly channeling the power of clouds and mist.
Under the influence of this magical power of clouds and mist, the surrounding black fog was constantly attracted. This was like a process of gathering energy. With this place as the center, like a vortex, the surrounding black fog was continuously sucked in.
In the beginning, there were already some signs, but it was not very obvious, so everyone did not care.
During the conversation, He Yiming was still channeling the power of clouds and mist in order to hide his tracks as much as possible and not let anyone see through his flaws.
In this way, the black fog became thicker and thicker until it reached the density of the mountain top. With their vision as strong powerhouses, they could only see three meters away.
For a time, there was a dead silence. Other than the whistling of the mountain wind, there was no other sound.
Just as He Yiming was considering whether to take this opportunity to make a move, his ears moved slightly.
Subsequently, everyone heard a soft rustling sound.
Although the sound was extremely soft, everyone here was at least a Tripod Foot powerhouse. When they listened carefully, the soft rustling sound was as obvious as a thunderbolt.
He Yiming was only curious as he guessed the origin of the sound.
On the other hand, the faces of Hao Xue and the other two changed drastically at the same time. Fang Cheng exclaimed, "A millennium catastrophe …"
Hao Xue yelled, "Everyone, split up and get out."
Before his voice died away, the three of them had already turned around and ran out of the mountain at lightning speed.
This time, they did not gather together. Instead, they followed different paths and split up completely in the blink of an eye.
He Yiming was tongue-tied as he looked at their performance. He really couldn't understand what these people were up to.
From the looks of it, they seemed to be extremely frightened. Moreover, the fear came from the depths of their hearts, causing them to abandon their plans to obtain the Blood Coagulation Pearls.
For a martial arts powerhouse that had reached the Tripod Boundary, it was definitely not a trivial matter for them to willingly give up their opportunity to become a Venerable One to escape.
If He Yiming wasn't certain that the black fog wasn't the black fog at the top of the mountain, but was instead summoned by his Cloud Power, he would have immediately followed Hao Xue and the other two to flee far away from this place.
The rustling sound gradually grew louder. He Yiming felt his hair stand on end. With a flash of his body, he had already arrived at the source of the sound.
When he saw all of this clearly, his face was suddenly filled with black lines … (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, support the author, support the original reading!)
