Chapter 0877: Blood Spirit Body (Happy New Year)
"Alright, from today on, you shall be this Young Ancestor's retainer."
Chen Yu decided to take on this retainer. With his status as the Young Ancestor, could he possibly fear this woman?
"Yes, Young Ancestor."
Zheng Xiujing showed a genuine look of joy, giving Chen Yu a very real feeling unlike a pretense.
Chen Yu even saw a hint of bashful anticipation on her face, which greatly surprised him, making him doubt whether he was seeing things.
"This Young Ancestor wants to peruse some Blood Race ancient texts to search for certain information."
Chen Yu said coldly.
After saying that, he flew forward.
"Young Ancestor, you can stay on Holy Blood Island for a day each month. If the information you need to check is extremely important and rare, you can directly go to Holy Blood Island."
Zheng Xiujing suggested.
"That's right, as I am now the Young Ancestor, I can enter Holy Blood Island for a day each month."
Chen Yu acted as if he suddenly realized, though in truth, he was feigning knowledge.
Upon becoming the Young Ancestor, he began gathering materials to concoct Heavenly Moon Blood Marrow.
Otherwise, after such a long time, Chen Yu would have been able to understand these basic details.
Holy Blood Island.
Chen Yu had long been curious about this place, wanting to know what secrets this core and mysterious place held.
From Zheng Xiujing's words, could it be just a place housing books?
"No, even as the Young Ancestor, I can only enter once a month and only for one day. Blood Saint Island must be anything but simple."
Chen Yu secretly speculated in his heart.
Ultimately, he and Zheng Xiujing went to Blood Saint Island together.
Blood Saint Island is located behind Chen Yu's cultivation cave, belonging to the first ring core area.
When Chen Yu arrived at the core area, he discovered it was a sea of blood, with numerous islands of varying sizes floating on it.
Blood Saint Island lay at the edge of this sea, with a relatively large area.
Here, the sky was almost devoid of human shadows, thus anyone entering this range would be noticed by the stationed guards.
When the two arrived at Blood Saint Island.
The four guards at the entrance slightly bowed: "Greetings, Young Ancestor."
"Young Master Yu can stay on Blood Saint Island for a day each month, while others must spend fifty Battle Merit Points for one two hours."
The leader explained the rules according to his duties.
It's known that relocating from the third ring area to the second ring requires two thousand Battle Merit Points.
Whereas entering Blood Saint Island costs fifty Battle Merit Points per two hours.
Ordinary people are probably not qualified to enter, and indeed, only those residing in the first ring area of the Blood Race have the right to enter.
"Young Ancestor, I also happen to need to consult some ancient texts. I'll accompany you inside."
Zheng Xiujing said with a smile, paying the Battle Merit Points.
As a master-level Blood Brewing Master, she was not lacking in Battle Merit Points.
Blood Saint Island is vast, and its scenery unique, like a paradise, except the blood smell was too strong, with red all around, which Chen Yu did not like much.
"Compared to the Blood Storage Hall, Holy Blood Island's collection consists of some extremely rare ancient texts, including original versions of some famous books, and even quite a few incomplete copies."
Zheng Xiujing simply explained some things along the way, seemingly trying to chat with Chen Yu.
Soon, the two reached an immense palace.
Inside were all books, but compared to the enormity of the palace, the amount of books seemed a bit too sparse.
Chen Yu glanced around and found many book titles quite peculiar.
Apart from that, there were also beast skins, jade slips, and stone tablets with inscriptions, all exuding an ancient aura.
Soon, Chen Yu found an ancient text documenting Spiritual Bodies.
It recorded many strange Spiritual Bodies that appeared across different realms, many of which seemed incredible and their authenticity questionable.
"Among the Blood Race, the more frequently appearing unique Spiritual Bodies are the Water Spirit Body and Blood Spirit Body; their specific effects may be similar, one can try them out by oneself!"
When Chen Yu saw content related to the Blood Race, he couldn't help but pay more attention.
"Should I try it?"
Chen Yu tried them following the methods described therein.
At a certain moment.
Boom!
Blood light burst forth from Chen Yu's body, and his body turned blood-red translucent, like crystal.
Simultaneously, the primordial qi from Heaven and Earth swiftly poured towards and into Chen Yu.
"The absorption rate of Heaven and Earth's primordial qi seems even faster than before!"
A sharp light flashed in Chen Yu's eyes.
Previously, he'd already tested his Spiritual Body qualification, reaching the standard of a Supreme Spiritual Body.
The leap in Spiritual Body qualification made Chen Yu feel his cultivation speed greatly improved.
And now, he felt his Spiritual Body qualification seemed to have undergone another change.
Chen Yu again took out the crystal ball.
Buzz!
Blood-colored halos rippled over it, and the twelve protruding points all glowed red, brilliant and dazzling.
"They all lit up!"
Chen Yu remembered that during the previous test, the twelfth circular protrusion's light was somewhat dim.
But the test this time had changed.
This indicated his Spiritual Body qualification had changed.
Moreover, the lighting of all twelve circular protrusions proved Chen Yu's Spiritual Body qualification met the standard of a Supreme Spiritual Body.
But there is another situation, which is beyond the top-grade Spiritual Body.
"It seems my abnormal Spiritual Body is a 'Blood Spirit Body'. By burning the blood and Qi within, it can enhance the Spiritual Body's aptitude, speed up cultivation, and be used to break through bottlenecks with half the effort."
Chen Yu came to a conclusion.
"Young Master Yu, you... actually possess a Blood Spirit Body?"
Not far away, Zheng Xiujing looked over with a face full of surprise.
Within the Blood Race, the Blood Spirit Body is the best Spiritual Body, and even in the vast Blood Race population, the probability of appearing with a Blood Spirit Body is extremely low.
Just at this moment.
Another voice rang out.
"Isn't that Young Master Yu?"
"I didn't expect Young Master Yu to actually possess a Blood Spirit Body, no wonder you were able to defeat Long Sha Zu and win the Bloodthirsty Trial."
Outside the main hall, a fair and handsome man, with a faint smile, flew in.
"Young Master Wei!"
Chen Yu's gaze slightly narrowed.
The smile on Young Master Wei's face, with a faint coldness, let Chen Yu know that the relationship between them had already changed.
"Young Master Wei, you are wrong, the Blood Spirit Body is the fortune I gained from the Bloodthirsty Trial. All in all, I still have to thank Young Master Wei for letting me participate in the Bloodthirsty Trial back then."
Chen Yu slightly shook his head and laughed.
The Blood Race places great importance on the Blood Spirit Body. If "Jin Yudong" had a Blood Spirit Body earlier, he would not have been unknown.
So Chen Yu attributed all this to the Bloodthirsty Trial.
Young Master Wei's eyes slightly squinted, a trace of coldness flashed through.
Chen Yu was once his follower, but in the Bloodthirsty Trial, he won the final victory.
Now both are Young Ancestors, but in comparison, Young Master Wei was inexplicably surpassed.
"You were once just my follower, what are you so proud of!"
Young Master Wei gritted his teeth in his heart.
Now he feels that Chen Yu has taken away his fruit of victory and stepped over him to reach greater heights!
"It seems that Young Master Yu gained a lot of benefits in the Bloodthirsty Trial. I, as a Young Ancestor, am very curious, what level has Young Master Wei's strength reached now? Surely it must be stronger than during the Bloodthirsty Trial."
"I, as a Young Ancestor, am very fond of fighting, how about picking a day, and Young Master Yu gives me some guidance?"
Young Master Wei's lips curved up, revealing a provocative expression.
In the Bloodthirsty Trial, Chen Yu, this follower, leaped through the dragon gate and became a Young Ancestor, his fame even surpassing Young Master Wei.
This made Young Master Wei both jealous and resentful of Chen Yu.
Now upon learning that Chen Yu possessed a Blood Spirit Body, the jealousy in his heart rose again.
To prove himself, Young Master Wei had long planned this, and had been in closed-door cultivation for some time.
Only by defeating Chen Yu!
Could he resolve the knot in his heart, he wanted to let everyone know that even if Chen Yu became a Young Ancestor, he was far beneath him.
"Young Master Wei, is there really a need for us to confront each other with weapons?"
Chen Yu said in a deep voice.
If it were a public duel, Chen Yu really might not be able to defeat Young Master Wei.
After all, the opponent is a Blood Race at the Half-step Condensing Star Realm, on par with Long Sha Zu's strength. Chen Yu was able to kill Long Sha Zu by using all his means.
But in a fair duel, Chen Yu couldn't reveal his identity, many methods couldn't be used, how to fight?
Seeing that Chen Yu was afraid, Young Master Wei felt even more disdain, thinking that Chen Yu had won by taking shortcuts.
"It's just a spar, maybe it can even deepen our friendship."
Young Master Wei's expression was arrogant.
"Young Master Wei, if you suppress your cultivation level to the late Sky Sea Realm, only then will this spar be fair for my family head."
Zheng Xiujing walked over.
Young Master Wei glanced at Zheng Xiujing, not taking her words to heart.
He had witnessed Chen Yu's strength. If he suppressed his cultivation to the late Sky Sea Realm, he really didn't have much chance of winning.
"Young Master Yu shouldn't be too humble, you are someone who defeated Long Sha Zu, do you really disdain sparring with me?"
Young Master Wei pressed aggressively.
Chen Yu's face slightly darkened. If in the Great Yu Realm, he wouldn't hesitate, and he would definitely make Young Master Wei regret it.
"Hehe, three months later, at the martial stage of Wind and Cloud, I'll be waiting for Young Master Yu."
Young Master Wei chuckled lightly, throwing out a sentence, and then no longer paid attention to Chen Yu.
Seeing Chen Yu refuse several times, Young Master Wei's confidence surged, making him so assertive.
In the Blood Race, patience or weakness would only make the enemy more arrogant.
At this moment, Chen Yu truly realized this.
However, he didn't agree to Young Master Wei's challenge, so even if he doesn't go when the time comes, it's no big deal.
Chen Yu continued to flip through the ancient texts here.
He found there were some records related to the main world, which was exactly what Chen Yu needed.
He knew too little about the main world.
A while later, after Chen Yu finished reading all the content, he appeared a bit dazed, because he felt the descriptions of the main world above were somewhat exaggerated.
It said the main world is so vast that even a Condensed Star King, using a lifetime, couldn't traverse the entire main world.
It said the main world has numerous races, heavy conflicts, and a random outbreak of a war could render several interfaces barren!
It said the Human Race in the main world occupies only a very small region, surviving under many strong races.
It said the main world has dragons tens of thousands of feet long, legendary devils, many mythological races from ancient times, and some God Demon Descendants who at adulthood possess the cultivation level of the Condensed Star Realm...
"Too exaggerated!"
It even said during Ancient Times, the main world once gave birth to a "Chaos Demon", his appearance made the myriad races of the main world fear and the gods tremble...
