Chaotic World Book-Chapter 494 - 481: The Guidance of the Ancestor God

"This object is indeed a Holy Object.

The mere fact that Zhao Changhe couldn’t lift its weight made its significance very clear, not to mention the vastness of its energy, which, if not equal to the heavens, was like mountains and seas.

Moreover, this energy was mainly blood and Qi, not to be absorbed, just as there’s little use for absorbing so much blood into one’s body... It was meant for enhancement and transformation. Therefore, the notion of a powerful individual monopolizing this object and draining all its energy doesn’t exist; it is indeed something that could provide a whole clan with blood and Qi, refining and optimizing their very essence.

Of course, not everyone’s cultivation practices are particularly suited to this kind of "optimization." Yue Hongling or Han Wubing might not be suitable.

But for someone from the Spirit Clan like Sisi, she would be very suitable, and Zhao Changhe even more so.

The Spirit Clan’s cultivation of Martial Arts was quite ordinary. Besides the combat heritage being nearly completely severed by Lie’s single slash, their physical cultivation also met a bottleneck, and this was where the root cause lay.

For Sisi, this was like rain after a long drought, and the effects might even be more significant than those on Zhao Changhe. She was just standing by, feeling the invasion of the Blood Jade’s aura, and her physique began to undergo earth-shattering changes. Not only did her physical body improve and her blood and Qi become more vigorous, but even her True Qi was growing. The Gu Insects in her Spirit Bag were leaping for joy, seemingly fattening up all around.

The foundation of the Spirit Clan’s cultivation was not the same as the Magic Skills of Central Earth. Her clan’s Secret Treasure door may not necessarily require the same hesitant searching and understanding as Zhao Changhe’s... After all, the "body’s Secret Treasury" with Witch Gu, blood, and Qi reaches a critical point and naturally finds the Secret Treasure.

And Sisi was already at the threshold...

Yue Hongling’s eyes widened as she watched Sisi make a breakthrough right before her, unlocking the First Layer of her Secret Treasure. free𝑤ebnovel.com

This might very well be the only member of the Spirit Clan in this epoch to break through the door of the Secret Treasure...

Yue Hongling gaped, as did Sisi. Their mouths remained agape for a long while in disbelief. Is this really possible?

This Blood Jade’s sacredness to the Spirit Clan was such that it should be guarded with the lives of all clan members! If the ancestors of the Spirit Clan knew that this object had been directly given away, they would probably be furious enough to rise from their graves.

And indeed, they were furious enough to have risen from their graves...

But what was Zhao Changhe’s affinity with the Blood Jade, and what was his connection to the Ancestor God of the Spirit Clan?

Sisi’s expression began to change.

The Corpse Demon watched coldly as Zhao Changhe silently transformed his blood and Qi, not making any comment, and then coldly said, "The many things related to Lie’s rise from the start are also related to the Spirit Clan. Since you have inherited from him, the objects of the Spirit Clan are indeed very beneficial to your cultivation, and it may even allow you to step onto the ascension ladder. In some sense, you could be considered half of the Spirit Clan... What comes next is what Lie acquired himself through dominating the world. It’s up to you if you have his capabilities."

Zhao Changhe was at that moment silently experiencing the changes in his body—his results were actually better than Sisi’s because this not only fortified his physical body and blood Qi but also gifted him a strong surge of Evil Qi.

Poor old Zhao hadn’t killed many people; in this respect, the cultivation practice of nourishing Evil Qi through killing had always been lacking, relying on the treasures of Evil Qi for replenishment. The Blood God Array Plate was incomplete, its Evil Qi barely alive and hardly sufficient, and he felt embarrassed to absorb too much lest there’d be none left for the disciples of the Blood God Sect, uncertain where to find a massive amount of Evil Qi. And then, someone just gave it to him for free.

However, since their foundational cultivation was different, Sisi reacted obviously, while he was not as evident, yet his results were probably no less impressive.

Hearing what the Corpse Demon said, he finally responded, "I have my own path... What Lie has passed on is merely a reference."

"Heh," the Corpse Demon said coldly, "Now I just want to know how you define this so-called ’win-win’? I don’t believe you don’t want to monopolize this object."

Zhao Changhe casually stuffed the Blood Jade into Sisi’s hands.

Sisi: "?"

Corpse Demon: "..."

Zhao Changhe said, "She is your true clansman, and the Holy Daughter at that."

The Corpse Demon actually wanted to say, what’s the difference between giving it to her and keeping it... but the words didn’t make it out.

After all, there was a difference.

Sisi, carrying the Blood Jade as if in a trance, stammered, "You... you really wanted it, didn’t you?"

"I’ve already obtained the value of the Blood Jade I needed, why should I monopolize it?" Zhao Changhe ruffled her hair, "This is a holy object of your clan, you keep it... Don’t expose us, let the Elders think it was taken by a ’Saint Envoy,’ it’s good. After the dust settles, you can bring it out, and it will be your capital."

Sisi’s eyes were almost melting into water.

Yue Hongling crossed her arms.

You two are starting in front of me, huh?

In a low voice, Sisi said, "You... why do you have our Spirit Clan’s affinity for the Blood Jade?"

"Uh... your ancestors taught it," Zhao Changhe struggled under her gaze, shifting the subject, "Let’s go, let’s go, there’s nothing else here."

"Is this the guidance of the Ancestor God?" Sisi murmured in a low voice, with a complex expression.

The Corpse Demon started struggling in the bag, "Zhao Changhe, you motherf..."

The Spirit Bag was sneakily closed, and the Corpse Demon could see nothing anymore.

"Boom..." The Stone Gate opened once more, and within just a quarter of an hour of the three entering, the outside Elders and guards stared dumbfounded at the empty Stone Chamber, utterly shocked, "This... the Jun Heaven Blood Jade was really taken away?"

Zhao Changhe spoke indifferently, "What? Did you originally think that this envoy couldn’t handle it?"

"Not at all, not at all," the elders lowered their heads, their hearts filled with immense reverence as they respectfully said, "Does the Saint Envoy require anything else?"

Zhao Changhe responded, "Since we have the Jun Heaven Blood Jade, there’s no need for the boys and girls this time."

The elders were incredulous and blurted out, "Really not needed? We have already prepared..."

Anger flashed in Sisi’s eyes, and the surrounding guards clenched their fists.

Zhao Changhe coolly said, "Have those who were selecting the children return. You could actually be helping this envoy with another task, given your vigor."

The chief elder quickly said, "Please give your command, Saint Envoy."

"That white-clothed swordsman, our traitor... Do you have any news of him?"

"Yes," another elder hurriedly replied, "He is at Thousand Snake Village in the west. The Village Chief She Shan is giving him a hospitality that’s merely skin-deep."

At that time, Wuding was utterly clueless about the matters of the Forbidden Land and couldn’t even understand why the Spirit Clan people respected him so much... In fact, he had no idea they were from the Spirit Clan. Overall, he appeared completely baffled, not only solidifying his identity as a non-envoy but also confirming he was an outsider to the Forbidden Land, ignorant of important affairs.

If the Spirit Clan people still harbored doubts, not knowing which side was the true envoy, this brief interaction made it abundantly clear, too apparent indeed.

So they eagerly sharpened their blades, having been waiting for the Saint Envoy’s order to execute the traitor together.

Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling exchanged a glance, both detecting the amusement in each other’s eyes, "Then let’s make arrangements. After we kill this villain, we can return to report our success."

...

Wuding equally enjoyed an emperor-level treatment in Thousand Snake Village, with fine wine, exquisite dishes, and beautiful maids and attendants serving him with utmost attention and dedication.

Fortunately, Wuding’s resolve in his sword heart was strong, he desired none of those distractions, especially women, and he avoided moral degradation. He was merely focused on healing his wounds and also asked the people of Thousand Snake Village to "search for two men and a woman."

To the people of Thousand Snake Village, this behavior was very much like that of someone from the Forbidden Land, quite unenvoy-like, however.

An envoy comes to demand things, but you want nothing... and know nothing. And yet you hope to use our strength against the True Saint Envoy? You wish.

The people of Thousand Snake Village didn’t even wait for instructions from the Holy Mountain elders to start dealing with Wuding secretly.

He didn’t want women, but he still had to eat. They added undetectable substances to his food—substances that wouldn’t be noticed through normal means. Despite Wuding’s profound cultivation, his knowledge of the Alien Clan’s techniques was limited, and he did not detect anything wrong.

In the meantime, the saliva he left on his eating utensils and the hair he shed unconsciously were quietly collected by Thousand Snake Village, ready for action as soon as they received the elders’ signal.

After recuperating for a couple of days, Wuding felt he had mostly recovered from the injuries inflicted by the despicable men and women, and so he emerged and asked, "Have you found any news of the men and women I asked you to search for?"

The Village Chief She Shan said with a forced smile, "We have news. They were seen not too far from here in Sipan Village."

"Oh?" A sharp light flickered in Wuding’s eyes, "Where is this village? Lead me to it."

Lead on, your head. The proper term was "envoy."

She Shan continued with a forced smile, "Please follow me, Saint Envoy."

A group of elite Spirit Clan warriors escorted Wuding out of the village, heading straight for another desolate mountain.

Not long after entering the mountain, Wuding suddenly sensed something was amiss.

She Shan, who was leading the way, scurried chaotically and then vanished from sight. Wuding turned to look at the elite Spirit Clan warriors following him and noticed they too had disappeared...

From all around, the hissing sounds of countless venomous snakes filled the air as they swarmed over him, forming a veritable sea of snakes that made one’s scalp tingle.

Simultaneously, the sky was filled with the whistling of countless arrows flying towards him, blocking out the sun.

With a stern expression, Wuding drew his longsword, intending to perform a sword technique that could split into thousands of strikes, but suddenly his arm went numb, completely drained of strength.

A curse?

Wuding was shocked and looked inward. All of a sudden, intense pain wracked his lower abdomen, realizing too late that countless Gu insects had penetrated him, ready to burst forth from his body.

The arrows were already at his face.

Enduring various curses and Gu techniques, Wuding moved swiftly, seeking refuge in the nearby dense forest.

A knife’s glow suddenly appeared, followed by a burst of sword light. Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling, with their knife and sword combined, came chopping down upon him with full force.

To this moment, Wuding felt as if he had fallen into a dream.

We all just arrived in this Secret Realm, so why does it seem as if I’ve stumbled into your den by mistake? Looking at the frenzied behavior of these Spirit Clan people, do I have some vendetta with them?
