Right now, the experts of Heaven Reaching Sacred Island were very busy, busy dealing with the legendary turmoil.
Aside from the unexpected appearance of the Demon Sealing Pagoda, Xiao Lingyu really couldn't see how Heavenly Saint Island would be in turmoil. However, looking at the worried looks on the faces of the top powerhouses, he guessed that there was an eighty percent chance that the turmoil would come.
The experts couldn't even take care of themselves, so naturally, no one would run around, and no one would disturb the cultivation of Xiao Lingyu and the other cultivators.
Even the previous owner of the Investiture of the Gods, Jiang Shang, probably wouldn't have thought that the Investiture of the Gods could be used again so soon.
Xiao Lingyu and the other cultivators stayed in the valley for a full fifty years before the Investiture of the Gods stopped helping them.
The powerful effect of the Investiture of the Gods was not a boast. In these fifty years, Xiao Lingyu's soul realm and cultivation had advanced to the middle stage of the Ninth Transformation Stage.
The cultivation effect of the Nine Revolution Chaos Formula far exceeded that of ordinary cultivation methods. Although the Ninth Transformation Stage corresponded to the Heaven Reaching Realm of ordinary cultivators, Xiao Lingyu, who was in the middle stage of the Ninth Transformation Stage, should be able to easily deal with experts in the late stage of the Heaven Reaching Realm, unless those experts were the top existences of Heaven Reaching Sacred Island and had powerful divine abilities or magic treasures.
Naturally, Xiao Lingyu wasn't the only one who had improved. Foodie and Miao Ying had also reached the middle stage of the Heaven Reaching Realm. The other cultivators had already reached the Heaven Reaching Realm. As long as they increased their cultivation, they could also become Heaven Reaching Realm experts.
In this way, Xiao Lingyu had a few more Heaven Reaching Realm experts by his side, and his overall combat strength had greatly increased.
Perhaps it was because they had received the kindness of Jiang Lanyue and her sister, but Miao Ying, Qing Xuan, Ling 'er, and even Yueru's expressions towards the two sisters were much gentler, as if they were no longer against them joining.
As for Foodie, Devourer Of Heaven, and Xiao Bing, they were all a bunch of mischievous fellows. They didn't care about the trivial matters between women. As long as they could eat and sleep well, they wouldn't care even if the sky collapsed.
At that moment, Xiao Lingyu began to help his relatives and friends who had yet to reach the Heavenly Ascension Realm to improve their cultivation. He had a large number of Psychic Divine Stones and many kinds of high-grade materials, so this help was almost a piece of cake for him.
After sending everyone back to the Chaotic Spectrum to speed up their cultivation, Xiao Lingyu began to plan to go to the Jade Pool of the Sacred Mountain to wash her body.
It was worth mentioning that the Yin-Yang Mirror, which had helped Xiao Lingyu in countless battles in the past, was basically useless to Xiao Lingyu now.
Although Xiao Lingyu had reached Heaven's Ingress, the illusory monster he summoned from the Yin Yang Mirror was only at the peak of late Saint God.
After all, the Yin-Yang Mirror was only a Divine Artifact and not a Divine Spiritual Treasure. Naturally, its power would run out eventually.
Naturally, it would be very difficult for the shadowy monsters, who were born from magical treasures, to unleash the power of nature. As a result, their strength could no longer improve.
As he was thinking of a way to wash himself in the Jade Pool of the Sacred Mountain, Xiao Lingyu took out the dark golden box he had obtained from the Demon Sealing Tower and studied it.
Xiao Lingyu had used all of his methods to open the box, but he still failed to do so. It was obvious that the box was of extremely high quality.
The material of the box should not be inferior to a Divine Spiritual Treasure. As such, Xiao Lingyu naturally had reason to believe that the treasure it contained was definitely extraordinary.
The surface of the box was covered in fine, mysterious veins, which were very similar to the veins on the stone door that Zhang Fang and He Tai had discovered.
"Could it be that the method to open the box is the same as opening the stone door?"
Xiao Lingyu felt that his guess should be close to the mark. As a result, he did not forget to collect some materials for drawing veins when he collected various jade slips.
The area of the box was much smaller than the two stone doors, so there were naturally fewer veins on it. As a result, it required fewer materials.
However, due to the lack of a greater teleportation treasure like the tubular saint artifact, it took Xiao Lingyu a full century to collect all the materials.
As for drawing the veins, it took more than ten years.
When all the veins were clearly drawn, the dark golden box suddenly shone with bursts of strange light. Then, it suddenly exploded into a cloud of dark golden mist.
The mist surged for a while before gradually converging. Finally, it was absorbed by a dark golden dagger that was the size of a dagger.
The dagger was less than a foot long and was dark golden in color. Its luster was restrained, but it was as thin as a cicada's wing and looked very sharp.
On both sides of the dagger, mysterious blood-red veins were engraved. The hilt of the dagger had two rows of dark red gem-like beads, which made the dagger look a little demonic.
If one looked closely, they would see the words "Life Severing" on the blade.
"Life Severing, Life Severing?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled in satisfaction and then tried to drip blood on the dagger to claim ownership.
As soon as his Blood Soul fell on the dagger, it sank into it and disappeared. However, the dagger did not react at all.
Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly and dripped a few more drops of Blood Essence that were wrapped in his soul. The dagger still only absorbed it and did not react.
"Could it be that the method is wrong? But if it's wrong, it shouldn't absorb my Blood Soul."
"It's probably because the amount of Blood Soul is not enough. Let's try again."
Thinking of this, Xiao Lingyu spat out a few mouthfuls of Blood Essence and a part of his Blood Soul. Then, he attacked the dagger.
When Xiao Lingyu had used nearly a third of his Blood Essence and his face was pale, the dagger suddenly trembled violently. Then, the veins on the dagger became clear at the same time.
What surprised him was that a wave of pressure that made him feel suffocated instantly enveloped the surrounding hundreds of feet of space. He immediately felt that his shoulders had become much heavier, and the speed at which he circulated his power had also slowed down by several times.
In the next moment, the Life Severing Dagger stabbed at him. It was so fast that he only had time to reach out and block it.
Even though Xiao Lingyu's palm was comparable to a Divine Spirit Treasure, it was still directly pierced by the Life Severing Dagger.
The wound was horrifying, but no blood flowed out. Xiao Lingyu felt all the blood in his body rushing to his palm, but it was all absorbed by the Life Severing Dagger.
Xiao Lingyu was extremely shocked. He immediately reached out with his other hand, grabbed the hilt of the Life Severing Dagger, and pulled it out of his palm.
In the time it took to take a breath, Xiao Lingyu had lost another 30% of his Blood Essence.
However, the Life Severing Dagger released a ring of demonic red light. Then, Xiao Lingyu realized that the pressure in the surrounding space had become stronger. A special invisible force seemed to have solidified the space, and it even caused the fluctuations in time to be distorted.
The flow of time in the space enveloped by the demonic red light was obviously much faster. In other places, it was very slow. It was as if the Life Severing Dagger was already in the space-time of the future when it was activated.
With such a characteristic, once the Life Severing Dagger attacked, its opponent's defenses would probably be torn apart as soon as they saw it. They might even die in the next moment.
At that moment, Xiao Lingyu felt as if he was connected to the Life Severing Dagger by flesh and blood. It was as if it was his palm, and he could wave it as he wished.
Xiao Lingyu waved the Life Severing Dagger and swept it across a large tree a hundred feet in front of him. A streak of chaotic saber light suddenly shot out.
The strange thing was that as soon as the saber light appeared, the tree was already cut in half at the waist. The saber light then swept along the place where the tree was cut in half.
The saber light's attack had not yet arrived, but it had already caused damage in advance.
This kind of attack would cause any enemy to have a headache.
After launching an attack, the Life Severing Dagger still appeared to be very powerful. Under Xiao Lingyu's will, it very obediently sank into his body and into his dantian, where it began to undergo further refinement by the Chaotic Divine Infant.
"The quality of this Life Severing Dagger is probably already at the peak of Divine Spirit Treasure. It just so happens that I'm lacking a powerful offensive artifact right now. It'll be very useful!"
Compared to obtaining the Life Severing Dagger, the wound on Xiao Lingyu's palm seemed insignificant. After he calmed himself down, he continued to wander around the markets, collecting the things he needed.
All the jade slips that recorded the sacred mountain's Jasper Pool said that the Jasper Pool was one of the most important forbidden grounds of the Sacred Army. It was also one of the reasons why the Sacred Army was so powerful.
The reason why the Sacred Army always had a large number of Divine Spirit Masters, and these Divine Spirit Masters were usually not ordinary people, was because of the Jasper Pool. The cultivators with good aptitudes in the Sacred Army had a much easier time obtaining the opportunity to enter the Jasper Pool to wash themselves.
As cultivators cultivated for many years, it was inevitable that there would be some impurities in their bodies that could not be expelled. Their cultivation and bloodline might not be pure enough, but as long as they entered the Jasper Pool to wash themselves, this problem would be resolved. Moreover, the water of the Jasper Pool could nourish the flesh and bones, making the soul infant more stable and plump. It was quite useful to any cultivator.
The Sacred Army would naturally guard such an important Jasper Pool. Even the experts of the Sacred Army would find it difficult to enter, let alone cultivators who were not part of the Sacred Army.
It was said that the second strongest expert of the Sacred Army, the peak expert whose strength was second only to the Sovereign of All Saints in the Sacred Army, was stationed at the edge of the Jasper Pool all year round. Even the other peak experts of the Heavenly Saint Island would find it extremely difficult to barge into the Jasper Pool. Not to mention, other than the second strongest expert of the Sacred Army, there were also very powerful restrictions and formations around the Jasper Pool. Furthermore, the Jasper Pool was already surrounded by the experts of the Sacred Army, so it was basically impossible to sneak in without being noticed.
Xiao Lingyu was naturally very disappointed when he received this information.
"It seems that unconventional methods won't work. Forceful attacks or tricks are basically hopeless. Do I really have to fight in the arena?"
"With my current strength, as long as I completely refine the Suicide Dagger, as long as those peak experts don't participate in the arena, it shouldn't be difficult for me to enter the top ten."
"But I don't have a good relationship with the Sacred Army. Once I'm exposed in front of them, I'm afraid they won't treat me well."
"If only there was an equally powerful force backing me up so that they wouldn't dare to act rashly."
"The Peacock Bright Monarch and the other Earth experts might be able to back me up … but then, it seems like I'll owe them a favor."
"If I owe them a favor, then so be it. It's better than being forced to hide in the Chaos Spectrum and be sealed for a long time."
