The Demonic Pool
Needless to say, Ye Fei's luck was pretty good this time. He really found a few hidden cultivation rooms at the edge of the blood pool.
These were probably the places where the Blood Ancestors usually cultivated. They cultivated in the Blood Demon Tower and used the power of the blood pool to increase their strength.
In these training rooms, Ye Fei found a total of 50 books. Some of them were several hundred pages thick and some were only a few sheets of paper. But, these books were more important than any other treasure. This was because they were the records of generations of Blood Demons researching the demon blood within their bodies.
"It will take at least half a month to finish reading all these books. Luckily, I have the Undying Sword Soul, which can increase my comprehension without limit!"
Ye Fei didn't crave for in-depth reading, but he could read extensively. He specifically searched for information about the black lotus and the blood pool. This search allowed him to find a lot of crucial information.
Half a day later, Ye Fei completely raised his head. His eyes flashed with shock and joy. "My guess was right. These Blood Ancestors are indeed looking for a way to break the demonic nature. Strictly speaking, the black lotus in my body isn't the demonic nature, but the source of the plague!"
The ancient demon god, the Blood Demon, was even more sinister and cunning than Ye Fei had imagined. According to the records in the books, when the Blood Demon bestowed the Blood Ancestors with the demonic blood to help them form a special bloodline, he actually left a trick up his sleeve. He deliberately used an evil technique called the Plague Source on the Blood Demons.
From Ye Fei's point of view, this sorcery was similar to the Child and Mother Gu of the Sorcery Path. Among them, the Blood Ancestor was the source of the plague. They used the Blood Demon Curse to plant the source of the plague on the disciples of the Blood Demon Church in order to control them.
Similarly, the Blood Demon could control the Blood Ancestor through the source of the plague. In order to remove the Blood Demon's curse, the Blood Ancestor had to do his best to rescue the Blood Demon. This was equivalent to becoming a tool for the Blood Demon to save himself.
The first few Blood Ancestors had indeed worked hard for this. However, back then, the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Monastery still had living flesh Buddhas. Every Blood Ancestor that entered died. Later on, as the Blood Demon Sect grew in strength, the Blood Ancestors' ambitions began to grow. They were no longer willing to rescue the Blood Demons.
After all, if they rescued the Blood Demon, they would become the Blood Demon's tools. Who would be willing to become a servant, or even a tool that was inferior to a servant?
Thus, the Blood Ancestors began to research how to solve the source of the plague. However, due to the influence of the Blood Demon Curse, the lifespan of the Blood Ancestors was very short, only a mere three hundred years.
For 300 years, they had to cultivate and enjoy themselves. Then, after 300 years, the Blood Ancestors who were unable to save the Blood Devil would be corroded by the source of the plague. Their demonic nature would erupt, and they would go crazy and die.
Therefore, many Blood Ancestors would leave a large portion of their essence blood for their descendants to continue researching during the last year of the curse's eruption. They would enter the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Monastery with the determination to die. They would pretend to rescue the Blood Demon, but in fact, they wanted to beg the Blood Demon to break the curse.
"However, the Blood Demon wasn't someone to be trifled with. When he realized that the Blood Ancestors weren't sincere in saving him, or that they didn't have the ability to save him, he killed all the Blood Ancestors that entered and refined them into Bone Demons."
After reading to this point, Ye Fei didn't know why, but he had a faint suspicion that the Blood Demon wasn't counting on the Blood Ancestors to save him. Instead, he simply wanted to refine a large number of Bone Demons. This might be the Blood Demon's trump card to save himself.
However, regardless of the reason, there was no news of the Blood Ancestors that had entered the ancient temple. The descendants of the Blood Ancestors outside were still dying one by one. Gradually, the Blood Ancestors outside lost all confidence in the Blood Demon. They no longer placed their hopes on the Blood Demon's magnanimity. Instead, they gathered all their manpower and resources to study how to break the demonic nature in their bodies.
The incantation to suppress the demonic nature that Ye Fei had obtained from the Blood Massacre Sect was the result of a genius from the Xie Clan, the Blood Ancestor, who used many demonic secret techniques. However, this incantation could only temporarily suppress the demonic nature. It couldn't break the curse of the Origin of Plagues.
Later on, this genius from the Xie Clan got inspiration from somewhere and created the Demonic Pool in front of him.
"According to the research of that genius from the Xie Clan, Demonic Beasts are mutated Vicious Beasts that have been infected with Demonic Qi. This is similar to the Blood Demon's Origin of Plagues. Therefore, he suggested using a large amount of Demonic Beasts' blood to dilute the Origin of Plagues. As long as the blood is diluted to a certain extent, the Origin of Plagues might disappear on its own." Ye Fei stroked his chin. He fell into deep thought.
He felt that the genius from the Xie Clan had a certain degree of feasibility. After all, the Origin of Plagues was passed down through the bloodline from generation to generation. However, no matter how strong the bloodline was, it would only become weaker and weaker as it passed down through generations.
There were even rumors that in ancient times, every human race had the bloodline of a Demonic God. However, as the human race's population grew, the bloodline continued to disperse. As a result, there were only a few humans with special bloodlines. Most of the human race had become ordinary people.
From this point, Ye Fei felt that the genius from the Xie Clan's idea was feasible. The only thing that worried him was that although the Demonic Pool had been built, not a single Blood Ancestor had been able to successfully dissolve the demonic nature.
Later on, the Blood Ancestors continued to research and found that in order to use the Demonic Pool, the Demonic Blood in their body had to reach the limit. In other words, they had to condense a Black Lotus. Perhaps this way, they could completely dilute the Origin of Plagues.
However, this was only the speculation of the Blood Ancestors. No Blood Ancestor had ever tried it. The strongest Blood Ancestor had only condensed an illusory Black Lotus in his blood. Then, before he died, he placed the Black Lotus in the Demonic Pool.
This was so that future generations could continue to research it.
Ye Fei was speechless about this. "Using the Demonic Pool to dissolve the Origin of Plagues is only the speculation of the Blood Ancestors. No one has ever tried it before. I can't believe I've become the first guinea pig.
"However, if I use the Demonic Pool to try it, I still have a chance to dissolve the Black Lotus in my body. If I don't try it, I won't even have this chance!"
He laughed bitterly. He was extremely unwilling to be a guinea pig and become a guinea pig for the Blood Ancestors. However, other than this method, he had no other ideas.
"Forget it. So be it. I have the Eight Division Heavenly Dragon. Even if I fail in the end, I can suppress it in time."
Ye Fei gritted his teeth. In the end, he decided to give it a try. He had a tough personality. Otherwise, when his dantian was destroyed in Blackrock City, he wouldn't have sat under the waterfall for three years just to try to awaken the Undying Sword Soul.
Now, the demonic nature in his body had reached the point where he could turn into a demon at any time. It was a huge hidden danger to his cultivation. Even if there was a slim chance, he wouldn't give it up.
However, he had already made up his mind. To be safe, Ye Fei asked Xiao Cao and the Dragon Turtle to retreat to the side. He also told the Dragon Turtle that if the situation went wrong and it discovered that he couldn't control the demonic nature, the Dragon Turtle had to take Xiao Cao and run as far away as possible.
This caused Xiaocao and the Dragon Turtle to become worried and nervous.
"Haha, Xiao Cao, don't worry. I'm just saying what if. Isn't there still a ten thousand chance that I can successfully dissolve the demonic nature?" Ye Fei joked.
