CHAPTER 970: CHAPTER 490: LEVEL UP 2

Lady Bai Guang mentioned.

Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but take a deep breath and sighed, "The Blood Heavenly Sect is ambitious, wanting to create another Tao Ancestor Blood River, while the Blood Origin Sect has aspirations as high as the heavens, intending to cleanse the river completely of filth..."

Lady Bai Guang interrupted, "Even so, the Blood Origin Sect, after countless years of effort, has never made any progress. Gradually losing patience, they turned to depravity, beginning to study Polluted Blood, which is despicable."

Fang Zhixing humbly sought advice, "Big sister-in-law, I’m currently cultivating the Blood Heavenly Demon Technique. Do you think this path has potential?"

Lady Bai Guang smiled faintly, "Although my cultivation is higher than yours, your physical body, talent, and wisdom are unique. Rather than listening to my absurd theories, it would be better to find your own path."

As she spoke, she crouched down, took out a small knife, and cut her wrist.

Blood flowed rapidly, falling into the Tao Ancestor Blood River.

Gurgling~

The Blood River slightly boiled, as if stimulated, suddenly raising a blood-red light screen.

Complex runes, incomprehensible texts, mysterious totems...

Suddenly, a vast stream of information appeared on the blood-colored screen.

Lady Bai Guang exhaled a murky breath and said slowly, "What you see here all comes from the memory inheritance of my Blood Mark Clan. Unfortunately, my Bloodline is thin, and I can only trigger a small portion of it. Remember as much as you can."

Without needing a reminder, Fang Zhixing was already fully focused on absorbing the blood-colored light screen, merging it into his mind.

"Blood Seal Secret Manual," "Holy Blood Technique," "Blood Phoenix Nirvana Technique," "Blood Sea Lament Technique"...

As time passed, Fang Zhixing sorted out one divine skill and secret technique after another, gaining tremendously, far beyond expectations.

He had not yet closely examined these divine skills and secret techniques, but their rank was definitely not low, perhaps even rivaling the Blood Heavenly Demon Technique.

"Big sister-in-law, I accept this generous gift."

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath, feeling immensely joyful.

Then, he returned to his own retreat, starting a secluded session to comprehend the many divine skills and secret techniques.

Before he knew it, five days had passed.

Fang Zhixing finally read through all the divine skills and secret techniques, a smile appearing on his face.

Luckily, he found a solution to the problem of the Tao Ancestor Blood River’s filth and decay preventing proper cultivation.

"Blood Lotus Song"

The Blood Mark Clan once produced an unparalleled genius who believed that the filth and decay of the Tao Ancestor Blood River were inevitable, and no matter what you did, you couldn’t change this trend.

In other words, the state of the Tao Ancestor Blood River would only get worse and was beyond saving.

And this unparalleled genius, who usually loved planting and cultivating flowers, had a burst of inspiration, a fantastic idea.

He wanted to plant a kind of plant in the Tao Ancestor Blood River to absorb nutrients from corruption.

And through this plant, he could indirectly absorb the nutrients from the Tao Ancestor Blood River, thereby strengthening himself.

This plant was equivalent to a filter, filtering out all filthy auras and eliminating all decay.

Thus, he created the "Blood Lotus Song," planting a lotus in the Tao Ancestor Blood River.

The lotus, pure though it arises from the mud, is unstained, and cleansed by clear waves, it is not demonic!

It’s the most suitable plant to grow!

This idea was undoubtedly good.

Unfortunately, he failed!

Because the filth and decay emitted by the Tao Ancestor Blood River were too overwhelming.

Causing the planted Blood Lotus to be unable to filter out all the filth and decay, always having trace amounts of evil intruding within.

Over time, the pollution worsened, and he still couldn’t defy fate, dying in the Heavenly Tribulation.

However!

Before he died, he summarized and perfected the "Blood Lotus Song."

He proposed that only a blazing fire could burn away the filth and decay absorbed by the Blood Lotus.

"Just missing a fire, I happen to have a fire..."

Countless insights surged in Fang Zhixing’s heart.

[You comprehended the essence of the Blood Lotus Song, you activated the Samadhi True Fire!]

[Blood Lotus Song and Samadhi True Fire fused successfully, you obtained a new divine skill "Pure Fire Blood Lotus!"]

Fang Zhixing’s mind roared with realization and enlightenment.

In a trance, he came again to the Tao Ancestor Blood River, flew over the river surface, cut his palm, and sprinkled a drop of blood.

The blood drop fell into the Blood River, quickly transforming into a blood-red lotus.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

The Blood Lotus began to absorb the nutrients in the Blood River, including the life’s force of the Blood River itself, and the filth and decay.

All this became nourishment for the growth of the Blood Lotus!

Fang Zhixing sat cross-legged, calamity swirling around him, black smoke billowing.

The Immortal Palace vibrated with a buzzing sound, as if an earthquake was happening.

"Mother, what’s happening?"

Firefly Fairy was taken aback, and as she looked up, she saw a plume of black smoke shooting straight to the heavens.

That black smoke clearly consisted entirely of calamity, its aura dreadfully terrifying, making people shrink back in fear!

Lady Bai Guang furrowed her brows, her expression full of surprise, and exclaimed, "Fang Zhixing is dissipating the calamity upon him."

Firefly Fairy was dazed, disbelief evident in her voice, "The calamity cultivated with such effort, and he disperses it just like that? For what purpose?"

Lady Bai Guang, breathless, replied, "Fang Zhixing has accomplished something, obtaining monumental merit, thus transforming from a Tribulation Immortal to a Merit Immortal!"

Indeed!

Fang Zhixing planted a blood lotus in the Dao Ancestor Blood River, and during the blood lotus’s absorption of nutrients, it eradicated countless impurities and corruption, equivalent to purifying the water quality and rectifying the Dao Ancestor Blood River.

This is boundless merit!

Just like that, Fang Zhixing continuously garnered merit, transforming into a Merit Immortal.

[Realm: Ninth Grade Golden Immortal·Early Stage]

[Physical Body: Pure Fire Blood Lotus Merit Golden Body (Seven Stars)]

[Talent Divine Skill: Pure Fire Blood Lotus Seat (Merit Protection, Immune to Heavenly Tribulation)]

[Free Blood Wings Divine Ability: Blood Escape (With a single flap, maximum Instantaneous Movement distance of 128,000 miles)]

[Admiration Golden Eyes Divine Ability: Immobilization (Growth Type)]

[Admiration Golden Eyes Divine Ability: Life Blood Bar (Growth Type)]

[Pure Fire Blood Lotus·Merit Burst Skill: One Needle Sees Blood, Blood Tree Blossoms]

"It succeeded!"

Fang Zhixing awoke from his meditation, slowly opening his eyes, a flash of brilliance shooting across them.

At this moment, he had advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm, ranked at the early stage of Ninth Grade.

His physical body had also advanced from six stars to seven stars.

The Blood Heavenly Tyrant Demon Body had transformed into the Pure Fire Blood Lotus Merit Golden Body!

Additionally, the Free Blood Wings had gained tremendous enhancement, with Blood Escape distance expanding from 54,000 miles, directly to 128,000 miles, surpassing the Somersault Cloud.

And that’s not all!

With the support of merit power, the Admiration Golden Eyes had gained a new pupil skill, "Life Blood Bar."

As the name suggests, he could now clearly see the life blood bars of others or immortal beasts.

Subsequently, Fang Zhixing opened his third eye and gazed outside the secret chamber.

At this moment, his first maid, Lemon, was standing guard outside, acting as his protector.

A red bar floated above Lemon’s head, which was her life blood bar, pathetically short.

Not far away, the Purple Water Chestnut Moth perched on a tree basking in the sun, with its injuries more than half healed.

Her life blood bar was somewhat longer, being a tenth-level immortal beast.

Under the tree was a doghouse, built by Xigou himself.

Xigou’s life blood bar was even longer!

With Fang Zhixing’s ascension to Ninth Grade Golden Immortal, Xigou had also ascended.

[Species: Immortal Dog]

[Talent: Dog’s Bond]

[Bloodline: Mane Sky Wolf (Ninth Grade)]

[Bloodline Divine Ability: Marry A Dog, Follow A Dog (Ninth Grade)]

[Bloodline Divine Ability: Claw of Destiny (Ninth Grade)]

[Bloodline Divine Ability: Dog Nonsense (Ninth Grade)]

...

[Life Remaining Times: 3]

Fang Zhixing retracted his gaze and looked again at his system panel.

"Oh, the Pure Fire Blood Lotus awakened two burst skills!"

Fang Zhixing knew well that the higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to awaken burst skills, and one could only arduously practice spells to compensate.

But this time, he had a great harvest.

[One Needle Sees Blood: Your merit power condenses into a needle, and once it strikes the enemy, it surely draws blood.]

[Blood Tree Blossoms: Your merit power condenses into a blood tree, bursting forth a thousand blooms, each a blazing spark to purify the enemy with powerful merit flames.]

"Awesome!"

Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

"One Needle Sees Blood," hitting just once can breach defenses, unstoppable.

"Blood Tree Blossoms" is a combined skill of blood and fire...
