Chapter 12: What is a Frightening Cultivation Speed

  He glanced at the two corpses on the ground, then tore off a piece of cloth from his body and covered his mouth and nose to prevent the strong stench from entering his nostrils. He then dragged the two corpses to find a secluded place.

  Before long, he finally found a relatively hidden cave. After making sure there was no danger inside, he dragged the two corpses in.

  "Cultivation requires a divine root, without a divine root then seize one..."

  Looking at the two corpses still warm, the Blood Oath suddenly appeared in his mind.

  It must be said that the Blood God Emperor is indeed a rare talent, a freak. He actually thought of taking over others' Xian roots to make up for his own congenital deficiencies. As stated in the opening of the Blood God Scripture, cultivation requires Xian roots, and those without Xian roots cannot cultivate at all. But the Blood God Emperor took a shortcut, having no Xian root himself, he simply seized others' Xian roots to strengthen his own body!

  As for the method of taking away others' Xian Gen to strengthen oneself, someone had thought of it long ago. However, up until now, only one person, the Blood God Emperor, has succeeded and stepped onto the path of a Great Emperor.

  It is well known that the energy between heaven and earth is divided into five elements, yin and yang, seven kinds. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth contains these seven attributes. Cultivators absorb different attributes of heavenly spiritual energy according to their own immortal roots, thereby strengthening themselves and achieving longevity.

  Xian gen, in short, is a person's bloodline and attributes. Some people cultivate to a high level, and their bloodline will contain a powerful force, and their descendants will also possess this power, which is the power of the bloodline!

  And as for attributes, they actually refer to a person's body being naturally inclined towards one of the five elements. Some people have metal attributes, some have wood attributes, some have water attributes, some have fire attributes, and some have earth attributes... There are also some people with extraordinary bloodlines who possess two or even three attributes, and in extreme cases, all five elements!

  Generally speaking, people with extraordinary bloodlines have more than one attribute in their bodies. Therefore, when they cultivate, the amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth that they absorb far exceeds that of ordinary people, and their cultivation speed naturally surpasses that of ordinary people. Due to the excess power in their bodies, even their combat strength is far beyond what ordinary people can compare with!

  The Blood Emperor was originally an ordinary person, without even a hint of spiritual root in his body. However, he had taken a different path, using the Supreme Mystical Method to seize someone else's spiritual root and continuously improving his own bloodline, allowing him to sweep across his generation and ascend to the throne of the Great Emperor!

  No doubt, Blood Meridian is a very terrifying technique, with the magical function of taking others' blood as its own!

  "Bloodline... Bloodline..."

  Huo Ran murmured, recalling the Blood God Scripture in his mind and running along the described route of operation. At the same time, he pointed to Liu Feng's heart with one finger, only to see that his second finger suddenly burst out a foot-long beam of light, making it seem as if his two fingers had inserted into Liu Feng's heart like nothing was there.

  For the first time, Huo Ran was a little nervous about cultivating the Blood Meridian. The Blood Meridian was too overbearing, and when his fingers had just touched Liu Feng's heart that had long stopped beating, he only felt a hot flow from his fingertips along his arm, spreading bit by bit to his own heart.

  When the warmth reached his heart, he felt as if there were tiny electric currents flowing through his body, making him feel numb and extremely comfortable, unable to help but let out a moan. No wonder he was like this, because that feeling was truly too wonderful, just like in the middle of winter, suddenly jumping into warm water, with his whole body wrapped in a warm current, coldness completely driven away by warmth!

  It turns out that Liu Feng's bloodline is quite good, with both gold and wood attributes, which would make Ho Ran feel this way. If it were someone else with a mediocre bloodline, the feeling would be greatly discounted.

  "Ah..."

  When Liu Feng's last bit of blood essence was sucked dry, Huo suddenly let out a long sigh and moaned, his desire still unfulfilled. When he turned to look at Liu Feng's corpse again, he was startled, only to see that the originally somewhat handsome and youthful Liu Feng had transformed into a sixty-year-old old man!

  "This..."

  Huo Ran stared at his own hands, shocked to the core. He had never expected that the Blood God's power would be so overbearing, not only absorbing Liu Feng's blood essence but also a significant amount of his flesh and blood essence! Thinking about this, Huo Ran hastily examined his own cultivation and was both astonished and delighted. The delight came from his Qi Sea expanding directly by a factor of two! And the astonishment came from the fact that his originally gray Qi Sea had completely transformed into a bloody color, identical to the Blood Corpse's blood sea!

  "Whatever, as long as I can cultivate, who cares if I end up absorbing other people's blood essence or my own dantian turns into a sea of blood!"

  Thought of being able to cultivate freely from now on, no longer worrying about absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body and causing harm, he gritted his teeth again, pointed at Li Yan's heart once more, and continued to absorb Li Yan's blood power...

  This time, Huo Ran quickly absorbed Li Yan's Bloodline Power and became familiar with it. Meanwhile, Li Yan also turned into a sixty-year-old man like Liu Feng, his flesh and blood withering away.

  Feeling that he possessed three attributes within his body, namely gold, wood and fire, Huo Ran let out a loud roar, and a line of clear tears slid down his face.

  "Boom!"

  He knelt down facing east, letting tears fall freely, and choked with sobs: "Father, Mother, your son can finally cultivate, your son can finally cultivate!"

  Realizing that he was no longer a born loser, after having the capital for cultivation, the first thing he thought of was to work hard at cultivating, and when his cultivation was sufficient, return to Earth as quickly as possible, back to his parents' side, tell them that he missed them, really missed!

  Heavily knocked three loud heads, suddenly sat down on the ground with his knees crossed, and began to cultivate by rotating his blood vessels and meridians.

  "Hmm..."

  Suddenly, a turn of the exercise method, the entire cave appeared spiritual storm, heaven and earth spiritual energy madly surged into his body, while Huo Ran's heart shouted: Come on, come on, no matter how many you come, I'm not afraid!

  Before, when he was cultivating, he almost didn't dare to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, every time only absorbing a thread, afraid that if he absorbed too much, his body wouldn't be able to withstand it and would explode. Now that he has absorbed the bloodline power of Liu Feng and Li Yan, two people who are still considered not bad, in terms of bloodline alone, he has already surpassed either of them, completely no need to worry about his body being unable to withstand the impact of spiritual energy!

  He frantically absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, forming a cycle in the sea of qi, and then built a heavenly ladder connecting the dantian with his own magical power from the sea of qi.

  The human body is divided into three Dan Tian, which are the lower Dan Tian Qi Hai, middle Dan Tian Tan Zhong, and upper Dan Tian Shi Hai. These three Dan Tian are called the Xuan Pin Men by cultivators. Only when one has thoroughly opened up the Xuan Pin Men can they be said to have truly set foot on the path of cultivation!

  Huo Ran wanted to improve his cultivation to a higher level, so he had to build a heavenly ladder to connect the lower dantian and middle dantian. Then, he would cultivate the four extremities, five zang organs, and six fu organs of the human body, and set up a divine bridge connecting the middle dantian and upper dantian, finally cultivating the upper dantian...

  Huo Ran is now building the heavenly ladder, he operates the magical power in his dantian, constantly opening up the meridians leading to the middle dantian. Because he absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at a speed that is too fast, completely covering the consumption speed, so that the speed at which he opens up the meridians is simply shocking, just blinking for a moment and he has already opened up one of them...

  Pfft...

  Pfft...

  Pfft...

  One by one, the meridians were opened up. After a quarter of an hour had passed, Huo Ran suddenly completed the Heavenly Ladder and arrived at the middle dantian. Feeling the thrill of cultivation, Huo Ran took a deep breath and began to cultivate the four extremities of the human body, that is, the four limbs.

  A practitioner of the Four Extremes Realm must cultivate not only their four limbs, but also their skin, flesh, and bones. The sudden movement skill starts from the dan Tian, with the power of the law flowing continuously to open up the meridians on the four limbs, strengthening the body...

  Unconsciously, a day's time had passed in cultivation. With a sudden movement, Huo Ran opened his eyes with a 'whoosh' sound, and a ray of light flashed by. He stood up, and his whole body crackled and popped continuously, which was the sound of his muscles and bones colliding and making noise.

  "Ah...... so comfortable!"

  For the first time, Huo Ran felt comfortable after finishing his cultivation. In the past, every time he finished cultivating, his whole body would ache and be unbearable, and sometimes he would even get injured! But this time, not only did he not feel any discomfort, but he also felt refreshed, like he had just soaked in a warm spring. This feeling made him drunk with joy, and at the same time, he understood why so many people liked to cultivate.

  "Four Extremes Realm's peak... Ah, right! I still haven't finished what I promised Li Yan!"

  Huoran, who had not yet gloated over his rapid progress from Qihai Realm to Six Extremes Realm in just one day, suddenly remembered Li Yan's dying entrustment and hastily rushed out of the cave, sprinting forward.

  At that time, Li Yan was so anxious, thinking that the 'Yingying' in his mouth must be on the verge of danger. Thinking of this, he suddenly sprinted with all his might, vowing to reach 'Yingying's side at the shortest speed!
