Chapter 1295: The Undying Blood Sea Yama Emperor Seal

Translator: CinderTL

"I brought back a useless piece of trash."

Song Wen stared at the Remnant Corpse Divine Soul, his eyes blazing with cold fury.

Suddenly, a terrifying suction force erupted from the black hole above, dragging the Remnant Corpse Divine Soul upward.

On the verge of being swallowed by the black hole, the Remnant Soul showed no fear, only boundless rage.

"Never mind, I’ll keep it for now." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

As Song Wen’s voice echoed faintly, the terrifying suction force vanished. He himself disappeared from his Sea of Consciousness.

Outside, Song Wen held a wooden box in his hand—the same one he had found in the side chamber of the Immortal’s Tomb.

Upon opening the box, he found only a single jade slip inside, crimson as blood.

He retrieved the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense, his expression immediately shifting to one of astonishment and uncertainty.

The jade slip contained the method for forging a mystic treasure: the Undying Blood Sea Yama Emperor Seal.

"This is clearly an enhanced version of the Blood Sea Seal...or rather, the Blood Sea Seal is merely a flawed imitation of this treasure."

According to the jade slip, the key difference between the Undying Blood Sea Yama Emperor Seal and the Blood Sea Seal lay in their ability to ’fuse.’

The former could fuse with nearly all Yin-attributed spiritual objects to enhance its power, even Fierce Ghosts and vengeful spirits.

The latter’s power could only be enhanced by fusing with a very limited number of spiritual objects, making its improvement conditions extremely harsh.

The "Undying" in the Undying Blood Sea Yama Emperor Seal’s name refers to the blood sea it conjures. This sea is as viscous as mercury and as tough as iron, making it extremely difficult to break through. As long as the treasure’s master has sufficient spiritual power, they can endlessly summon Blood Sea Clones to wear down their opponent. Moreover, the Blood Sea Clones are stronger than those conjured by the Blood Sea Seal, reaching up to 50% of the master’s strength. If the power difference isn’t too great, the master can even exhaust their opponent through attrition.

Song Wen’s interest was immediately piqued, and he began to carefully study the jade slip.

Seven days later.

Song Wen set down the jade slip.

The process of refining the Undying Blood Sea Yama Emperor Seal was remarkably similar to that of the Blood Sea Seal. Both required melting the blood of countless living beings to form a blood sea embryo, followed by a special refining ritual to fuse various rare spiritual materials into it, solidifying it into a seal.

The only two differences were the required spiritual materials and the refining ritual itself.

For Song Wen to transform his Blood Sea Seal into the Yama Emperor Seal, the process was straightforward. He simply needed to fuse a spiritual material called Netherworld Sand into the Blood Sea Seal and then refine it again using the Yama Emperor Seal’s refining ritual.

Netherworld Sand isn’t particularly rare, but the amount required is directly proportional to the quantity of blood essence contained within the Blood Sea Seal.

And Song Wen’s Blood Sea Seal held an immeasurable amount of blood essence.

He had originally forged the seal from a blood brick brimming with endless blood essence. Afterward, he had absorbed nearly all the blood essence of cultivators and demon beasts he had slain.

Consequently, Song Wen needed a vast quantity of Netherworld Sand, estimated to be over 100,000 catties.

During his time on Qicang Island, Song Wen had seen Netherworld Sand. While not precious, it was typically sold by the grain, each grain costing around one high-grade spirit stone.

Each grain of Netherworld Sand was only about the size of a pinky finger, weighing less than two ounces.

In other words, to gather 100,000 catties of Netherworld Sand, he would need at least 500,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, the demonic path was weak in the Southern Nether Continent, making Netherworld Sand—a yin-attribute spiritual material—extremely rare. For Song Wen to purchase such a massive quantity would be like chasing a pipe dream.

Putting away the jade slip, Song Wen stood up and paced back and forth, pondering a solution.

After much thought, he couldn’t come up with a viable plan. He decided to first visit Great Tan City.

"Senior Bai Wei, did you manage to find the Heavenly Soul Mushroom during your trip to the Turbid Spirit Realm?" Song Wen asked through the Communication Jade Slip in a secret chamber of an inn in Great Tan City.

After waiting for less than fifteen minutes, Bai Wei replied.

"It went rather smoothly. I’ve already obtained the Heavenly Soul Mushroom. Now, all that’s missing is the Nirvana God Grass, and I can begin refining the Heavenly Astral Body Integration Pill."

"Do you have any leads on the Nirvana God Grass, senior?" Song Wen asked.

"Don’t worry about it. I’ve already gathered information about the Nirvana God Grass. If things go smoothly, I should be able to find it within a year." After saying this, Bai Wei changed the subject. "Gou Jun, I heard you had a misunderstanding with Elder Fan Kang?"

"That’s true," Song Wen replied. "Has Fan Kang taken his anger out on you because of it?"

He had been brought into the Turbid Spirit Realm by Bai Wei and was also a demonic cultivator. If the Spirit Jade Palace were to investigate the matter, Bai Wei would inevitably bear some responsibility.

"Not at all," Bai Wei said. "Although Fan Kang’s cultivation is higher than mine, I am a seventh-rank alchemist and hold some status within the Spirit Jade Palace. He wouldn’t dare move against me so easily. However, you shouldn’t have provoked him in the first place. If you had waited for me to leave the Turbid Spirit Realm together, Fan Kang wouldn’t have dared to touch you."

"Senior, you may not know this, but while in the Turbid Spirit Realm, I offended Jian Xiao of the Myriad Swords Pavilion. If I hadn’t left the realm before him, even with your help, I doubt I could have escaped unscathed," Song Wen said.

"Wang Qiuyue has already told me everything about your feud with Jian Xiao and the others. You saved her life, and she’s always been one to repay kindness with kindness and resentment with resentment. If Jian Xiao were to make things difficult for you, she wouldn’t stand idly by. His motive for wanting to kill you is simply to seize the treasures you took from the tomb. With me and Wang Qiuyue intervening, he’ll have to think twice. Furthermore..."

Bai Wei paused slightly before continuing, "Gu Huang isn’t dead! And the Myriad Swords Pavilion has no legitimate reason to kill you. But to think you managed to push a Mid-Stage Body Integration Cultivator to the brink of death... I’ve underestimated you. Now, among the three great sects, your name is renowned. Almost every high-tier cultivator knows of your existence as a rogue cultivator."

Song Wen frowned slightly as he read the message.

Gu Huang isn’t dead?!

Having witnessed Song Wen’s many techniques, Gu Huang would undoubtedly attract numerous covetous gazes if he were to reveal them.

The tallest tree catches the most wind!

A resounding reputation wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

Moreover, Song Wen should use the identity of "Gou Jun" sparingly in the future. He should also be cautious about using easily recognizable techniques like the shadow void, life-substitution art, and the Undying True Corpse Transformation.

[I’m rather curious: what methods did you use to reduce Gu Huang to such a pitiful state? His bones were mostly shattered, his flesh completely gone—he was nothing more than a puddle of mud.] Bai Wei messaged again.

[Did Gu Huang mention the details of our battle?] Song Wen asked.

[No!] Seeming to find this answer insufficient, Bai Wei added, [At least, he hasn’t mentioned it to any outsiders. Whether he told the Myriad Swords Pavilion is beyond my knowledge. A Body Integration Stage cultivator nearly losing his life to a Void Refinement Stage cultivator—he wouldn’t want to broadcast that humiliation.]

Song Wen relaxed slightly.

This was good news for him.

If Gu Huang hadn’t revealed his techniques, he wouldn’t have to be overly cautious about exposing his identity in the future.
