Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6346: Blood Crystal Passageway



Jian Wushuang's soul was intertwined within it.

It took him an entire hour just to pass through the blood mist region.

During that hour, his soul power was greatly depleted.

It was equivalent to the soul power of ten peak-stage Universe Masters.

If it had been an ordinary peak-stage Universe Master, their soul would have long been destroyed.

Fortunately, Jian Wushuang could continuously replenish his soul power and maintain his peak condition. Additionally, the burning Thought power acted as a barrier, allowing him to keep his consciousness clear.

He was also able to continually observe the interior of the blood-colored altar.

Passing through the blood mist region had consumed ten times the soul power of a peak- stage Universe Master.

Beyond that, there was a blood crystal passageway.

Originally, he thought that the devouring force here would be even stronger, but upon entering, he discovered that there was no suction force at all. Instead, the passageway had the miraculous effect of nurturing the soul.

However, this benefit wasn't of much use to him. He was merely curious-wasn't this altar supposed to seal the bloodline of a god and demon?

As for the former peak-stage Universe Master, they were likely not sealed but rather refined by this altar.

Over a thousand years ago, it was a Prince Consort of the Great Tang who sealed the Qianzu Saintess.

That same person was also the founder of Baoguang Temple.

If it wasn't a seal but a refinement, then everything made sense.

At that time, the situation must have been that the altar refined the peak-stage Universe Master, and the so-called seal was a lie.

But now, the altar had ended up in the hands of Immortal Jiu Chen.

Before Jian Wushuang entered the altar, Jiu Chen had mentioned that he had experienced nine different worlds.

Yet, Jiu Chen's realm and strength weren't particularly exceptional.

He was merely an ordinary peak-stage Universe Master.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"What exactly was hidden back then?" Jian Wushuang pondered, realizing that this small world concealed far too many secrets.

Perhaps those secrets had little to do with him, but he couldn't help but marvel at how such a small world could have been so intricately planned out, with such a complex web of relationships.

"Maybe the relationship between that Great Tang ancestor and Jiu Chen was similar to the current relationship with Li Miao!"

He didn't know that the Great Tang ancestor had already fallen, which made him curious why Jiu Chen chose Li Miao.

But these matters had little relevance to him.

What he needed to do now was to figure out the function of this altar.

Judging from the earlier blood mist, this might not be an altar at all; it resembled more of a small cave world.

Typically, such a cave world would be used by cultivators to tame beasts or cultivate herbs. After all, carrying around a portable world was rare, and turning it into an altar seemed somewhat wasteful.

Altars like this could easily be made into one-time-use items.

He wasn't particularly experienced in these matters, but he had seen others use them before. Thus, he was convinced that the purpose of this place wasn't as simple as an altar, and its true function would require further exploration.

Jian Wushuang ignited his Thought power and began to explore the depths of the passage.

Nothing unusual happened along the way. He even touched the walls of the passage formed by the blood-colored crystals with his hand.

"This was actually infused with the essence blood of gods and demons. What a grand gesture!" He was somewhat surprised, as the essence blood of gods and demons was a

hundred times more powerful than ordinary divine blood.

Moreover, it appeared that the essence blood used came from the mental aspect of gods and demons.

In this way, just entering this place could nourish the soul.

The blood mist outside the passage seemed to be transformed by the power emanating from this place. Inside, it nourished the soul, while outside, it devoured souls.

This setup was quite ingenious.

Jian Wushuang couldn't help but nod in approval.

But back to the main point, what surprised him even more was the level of this god or demon.

Comparing it to the so-called Ancient Demon from the outside world, the owner of this essence blood had a life gene at least five thousand times stronger than that of ordinary gods and demons.

Based on this, his strength could be estimated to reach the level of transcendence, possibly even the level of a Zhen Xian.

If that was the case, then the owner of this altar had a strength that was at least at the level of a Great Zhen Xian.

Moreover, looking at the appearance of the altar, it did not seem to be a supreme treasure but rather a supplementary artifact.

In terms of value, it certainly couldn't compare to a supreme treasure. Considering that Immortal Jiu Chen even possessed supreme treasures, having this kind of supplementary artifact seemed normal.

From this perspective, at his peak, the other party was probably quite formidable.

Even if these treasures were all picked up, he would still need the strength to refine some of

them.

"Jiu Chen!"

Jian Wushuang caressed the blood crystal, muttering to himself, "His life level is quite ordinary, and his soul level is also ordinary. He's far inferior to Zhen Xian or that Sword Immortal. Coming from the upper realms, he was naturally not weak at his peak, but compared to transcendents, he still falls short. Not to mention Zhen Xian. Even so, in the mortal world, his power could far surpass that of ordinary gods. How could Jiu Chen be so

weak?"

This was his greatest doubt.

With this doubt in mind, his steps quickened.

His Thought power continued to cover a distance of ten miles ahead.

Therefore, he wasn't worried about danger.

After walking for a short while, he reached the end of the passage.

At this moment, he also sensed a faint consciousness at the end of the passage.

That consciousness was quite peculiar, devoid of any signs of life and lacking the deathly aura

that usually accompanied soul bodies.

However, it exuded a certain spiritual charm.

Jian Wushuang's eyes lit up, and his pace quickened.

This aura felt familiar, reminding him of the true spirit of Qishen Temple.

The two auras were quite similar.

The difference in strength, however, was like comparing billions of times.

Regardless of the disparity in strength, it was at least a conscious spiritual entity!

This was incredibly useful to Jian Wushuang, as it might help him unravel the mysteries of

this place.

Following the aura, he burned his divine power, probing while getting closer.

At the end of the passage stood a temple radiating blood-colored power.

"I've arrived!"

Jian Wushuang exited the passage and stood in front of the temple.

From a distance, the temple was right in front of him, but when he closed his eyes, it seemed

to be deep within a nebula.

All around him were blood-colored light dots.

"Interesting!"

He slightly curled his lips into a smile. There was little he could do about such a small trick

right now.

But the spiritual entity was right in front of him, and he could only start with it.

With a thought, he pointed his finger, sending out a strand of green energy.

It was the life force he had obtained from the empress.

What he needed wasn't the life force itself but the various principles contained within it.

While in the passage, he had comprehended several principles from it, then transmitted them to his main body within the Nine Prison Pagoda, allowing him to grasp the embryonic form of

all things.

In this way, the soul of his main body within the Nine Prison Pagoda could extract the internal power of the pagoda to reshape a physical body of all things.

The more power of all things he absorbed, the stronger the physical body would become.

Once the body reached the level of ten thousand times, it would be at the level of Zhen Xian.

At that time, his soul would enter the body of all things, allowing him to leave the Nine Prison

Pagoda.

This saved him a lot of time, directly returning to the level of an undying Zhen Xian.

That is, Zhen Xian!

The road ahead would then become much easier.
