Chapter 399 Smuggling Across the Sea of Blood
Three months later.
The side effects of the Shattered Jade Technique completely disappeared, and Qin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief. He could now consider going to the Styx Sect under the identity of Zhou Ting of the Blood Evil Sect.
During this period,
The Purgatory Mountains are not peaceful.
Under the pretext of capturing Chen Feng, the Inferno Sect blocked off the entire Inferno Mountains, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving, causing panic in the Inferno Mountains.
actually,
Anyone with a little knowledge knows that since Yan Bing failed to capture Chen Feng on the day he died, it would be impossible for him to capture him later. With Chen Feng's level of cultivation, he would have escaped thousands of miles away long ago.
There is no way to stay in the Purgatory Mountains.
The Purgatory Demon Sect did this more like giving itself an explanation so that it could save face.
Of course, such a blockade could not stop Qin Mo.
Even though the Lord of Purgatory was a first-level True Immortal, it was impossible for him to cover the entire Purgatory Mountains with his spiritual sense at all times. That would tire him to death.
On this day, Qin Mo invited another elder of the Blood Demon Sect, Gong Jian, to come for a secret discussion. He said straight to the point, "I am going to go to the Styx Sect. Please cover for me."
Of course it was impossible for everyone to know that the Blood Evil Sect was a pawn of the Styx Sect. Only three people in the entire Blood Evil Sect knew about it, namely Sect Master Lu Fang, Elder Zhou Ting and Gong Jian.
"Go to the Styx Sect?"
Gong Jian was very surprised. "Didn't the sect have an order saying that unless there is an emergency, we cannot contact them without permission?"
"Isn't it urgent now? The sect leader is dead, many people in the sect were killed, and such a thing happened in the Purgatory Mountains again. The Blood Evil Sect is already at the critical juncture of life and death." Qin Mo was by no means exaggerating.
Gong Jian thought about it and said, "Well, go ahead and don't worry. I'll tell everyone that you're in seclusion. But now the Purgatory Mountains are blocked, how are you going to get out?"
"I have my own way." Qin Mo smiled slightly, "I'll leave the sect's affairs to you."
"Don't worry!"
Gong Jian didn't ask any more questions, since they were now in the same boat.
…
After Gong Jian left, Qin Mo immediately contacted Ji Huo with his mind and asked Ji Huo to cast a soul barrier to block the detection of outsiders. He then used the earth escape technique to sneak into the ground.
We got out of the Purgatory Mountains smoothly all the way.
After leaving, Qin Mo did not stay in the jurisdiction of the Tianmo Dao Sect, but headed west all the way until he entered the central Minghe Sect's territory, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
after,
Qin Mo found an unnamed mountain range, opened up a temporary cave, and pulled out the unlucky Zhou Ting. Without any nonsense, he directly used the soul-searching technique to obtain most of Zhou Ting's memories.
Then destroy the body...
After finishing everything, Qin Mo slowly walked out of the cave, came to the vicinity of the Minghe Sect, and took out a talisman obtained from Zhou Ting's storage ring.
After being activated, the talisman spontaneously combusted and quickly turned into ashes.
Qin Mo stood still. This was a secret way of communication between the Blood Evil Sect and the Styx Sect. After the talisman burned, someone from the Styx Sect would know.
About an hour later, a red light flew from a distance and descended in front of Qin Mo.
"Zhou Ting of the Blood Demon Sect, hello to Elder Zhu!"
Qin Mo quickly saluted.
Zhou Ting had learned from his memory that the Elder Zhu in front of him was specifically responsible for contacting the Minghe Sect's hidden chess piece in the east.
"What do you want from me now?" Elder Zhu frowned slightly.
There is a sense of arrogance.
It's no wonder. As an elder of the Minghe Sect, even if his status is not very high, Elder Zhu has the cultivation level of a first-level True Immortal, and he can call the wind and rain wherever he goes.
"Report to the elder, there has been a big change in the Purgatory Demon Sect..."
Qin Mo recounted to Elder Zhu everything that had happened in the Purgatory Mountains in detail, not daring to conceal or falsify anything.
Because Elder Zhu must have other channels to verify this information.
"so……"
Elder Zhu was not very interested in the changes in the Purgatory Demon Sect, because strange stories like this happened almost every day in the Earthly Immortal World and there was nothing new about them.
It was only when he heard that Lu Fang was dead and the Blood Evil Sect was in a bad situation that Elder Zhu frowned slightly.
The Minghe Sect wanted to place a hidden chess piece in the Tianmo Dao Sect's territory, which took thousands of years of effort. It's impossible for them to just give up.
"So what's your idea for coming here?"
Elder Zhu’s eyes seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts.
Qin Mo said, "Elder, can you let me go to the Blood Sea once to improve my cultivation and practice the Blood Evil Banner? Otherwise, I'm afraid that with my limited cultivation, I can't support the Blood Evil Sect."
This is the reason why Qin Mo went to such great lengths to come to the Minghe Sect.
Elder Zhu looked Qin Mo up and down, his eyes full of disappointment: "It's indeed a little bit worse."
Qin Mo: “…”
"It's not impossible to go to the Sea of Blood," said Elder Zhu.
The blood sea of the Minghe Sect is large enough. According to the rules, as long as one is an inner disciple, he is qualified to enter once every hundred years. As for what opportunities one can get, it all depends on personal luck.
Sea of blood,
It is also regarded as the blood-forming source of the Styx Sect.
As an elder of the Blood Demon Sect and the future leader of the Blood Demon Sect, Zhou Ting is barely qualified. In addition, since he took the risk to report the news, the Styx Sect should indeed reward him.
"Thank you, Elder!" Qin Mo was overjoyed.
"Don't be too happy too soon." Elder Zhu raised his eyebrows, "You only have one month."
"Thank you very much , Elder. I am already very satisfied." Qin Mo burst into tears of gratitude, but he didn't know that he already had other plans. Being able to enter the sea of blood would be a success.
I don't care how long I can stay in the sea of blood.
"Then let's go!"
Elder Zhu was very satisfied with Qin Mo's understanding. The gap between their cultivation levels was too big, and there was nothing to talk about. He raised his sword, soared into the air, and headed straight for the Minghe Sect.
Qin Mo followed closely.
…
As one of the three major demon sects in Momeng Danzhou, it is one of the most super sects in the world of earthly immortals. The headquarters of Minghe Sect is naturally magnificent and it is a first-class blessed land between heaven and earth.
The entire Styx is the territory of the Styx Sect.
The surging Styx is more like a vast lake or sea than a river. The widest part of the river is over a thousand kilometers, and the narrowest part is tens of kilometers.
There are also countless large lakes and swamps scattered throughout the River Styx.
The river water is full of spiritual energy and is an excellent place for cultivation, especially suitable for practicing water-based skills.
The billions of aquatic creatures living in the river have formed a special symbiotic relationship with the Styx Sect. To be precise, these aquatic creatures are more like creatures raised by the Styx Sect.
Help the Styx Sect to sort out the river channels, regulate the water system, and balance the fluctuations of spiritual power.
At the same time, the water creatures in the river are the delicious delicacies on the table of the Styx Sect. They are the best objects for the disciples of the Styx Sect to train and serve as servants.
There really is no human rights at all.
The further upstream you go, the more powerful the spiritual power of the Styx becomes, and the richer the resources become. There are outer gates, inner gates, true disciples, and elders, all in a strict and orderly hierarchy.
It is reported that,
Every true disciple of the Minghe Sect has an independent dojo.
Very arrogant!
Qin Mo followed Elder Zhu, holding up a sword, and traced the way to the source. He met many disciples along the way. When they saw him from afar, they all saluted Elder Zhu.
He only glanced at Qin Mo beside Elder Zhu out of curiosity.
Qin Mo's cultivation level of the fourth level of Earth Immortal is top-notch in the prehistoric continent, and just so-so in the Purgatory Mountains, but when it comes to the Styx Sect, it is nothing.
Just like the Shenxiao Sect where Qin Mo was before, overcoming tribulations and becoming an immortal is just a basic requirement.
Feeling the extremely rich spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and looking at the mist on the river surface, it was actually the spiritual energy atomized. It was impossible for Qin Mo not to be envious. This was more than a hundred times stronger than Shenxiao Mountain.
A real fairyland.
If you feel it carefully, the huge Minghe Sect seems to be undefended, but it is full of restrictions.
Even the entire Styx is part of the ban, protecting the Styx Sect for hundreds of thousands of years.
When he reached the upper reaches, what Qin Mo saw were no longer the dojo built by the river, the swamp, or the lake, but floating mountains that competed with each other in beauty.
Those are the spiritual veins that the Minghe Sect had snatched from various places, and they are also the sect's foundation.
Every mountain peak,
There is at least one elder from the Minghe Sect stationed there.
At this point, even Elder Zhu became cautious and told Qin Mo: "Follow me closely, don't look at what you shouldn't look at, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't touch what you shouldn't touch."
"yes!"
Qin Mo has to be brave enough. What if some big boss goes crazy and wants to interrogate him?
It’s better to make a fortune quietly.
"arrive!"
Finally, Elder Zhu led Qin Mo to a large lake. The water was dark, with turbulent waves, and there was no end in sight. Some people would believe that it was an inland sea.
"Is this the sea of blood?" Qin Mo was a little confused.
"How is that possible?"
Elder Zhu shook his head with a smile, "Just wait and see!"
He made a hand gesture and shot the elder token into the void. The space shook, and a portal over a hundred meters high appeared. It was pitch black, with raging devil flames and carved with countless demons.
In front of the portal stood an old man in a black robe. Judging from his cultivation level, he was a second-tribulation True Immortal.
Qin Mo: “…”
Sending a second-tribulation true immortal to guard the gate shows the strength of the Minghe Sect.
"Elder Ku Rong!"
Elder Zhu stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Um."
Elder Ku Rong simply nodded and glanced at Qin Mo, "Who is this person? Why does he look so unfamiliar?"
"He is an elder of the Blood Demon Sect."
"Blood Demon Sect? Is it the pawn of the Purgatory Mountain Range?"
"Exactly."
"Then why did you bring him here?" Elder Ku Rong frowned, looking intimidating without even getting angry.
Elder Zhu explained the whole process.
"Well, then go in!"
Qin Mo didn't expect that this elder Ku Rong seemed old-fashioned, but in fact he was so easy to talk to. Didn't he even question him? Or was he very confident in the rules and regulations of the Minghe Sect?
"Let's go!"
Elder Zhu pulled Qin Mo into the portal.
After a dizzying moment, the two appeared in a strange space filled with a strong smell of blood.
Looking around, it's all red.
The blood was dense and condensed into various kinds of blood clouds in the air, some like castles in the sky, some like soaring dragons, some like flying phoenixes, and some like mountains and rivers.
It's absolutely beautiful.
But above the sea, it was a completely different scene.
There were corpses everywhere, including giant dragons, ancient behemoths, ancient beasts from the starry sky, and ancient ferocious beasts. There were things you’ve seen and haven’t seen before, and it made your scalp tingle.
Qin Mo even saw the corpses of ancient giants and demons.
Although they have all been dead for a long time, the aura emanating from the corpses still makes Qin Mo's heart palpitate. Could this vast sea of blood be a cemetery of gods and demons?
And beneath the sea, Qin Mo could feel a fierce aura even more.
"How about it? Shocking, right?" Elder Zhu had a hint of pride on his face.
Or,
The existence of the Sea of Blood is the greatest confidence and pride of the Styx Sect.
“Very shocking!”
Qin Mo had never expected that this sea of blood could actually be a separate world of its own. "This doesn't look like a dimensional wall?"
"I have some knowledge."
Elder Zhu looked at Qin Mo with a higher opinion for the first time and asked with a smile, "Can you see anything else?"
Qin Mo's mind suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed, "Could it be that this sea of blood and the lake outside just now are two sides of the same coin?"
"That's right!" Elder Zhu was really surprised. "To be precise, the Blood Sea is at the bottom of the Great Lake, and the Great Lake is also at the bottom of the Blood Sea."
Qin Mo suddenly realized.
No wonder everyone in the Earthly Immortal Realm knows that the Styx Sect has a treasure land called the Sea of Blood, but except for the disciples of the Styx Sect, no one has ever actually seen the Sea of Blood.
"then!"
Elder Zhu threw a red waist badge in mid-air, "This waist badge allows you to stay in the blood sea for a full month. After a month, you will be automatically teleported outside. At that time, you can leave on your own."
"Thank you, Elder!"
Qin Mo thanked him again and asked, "But, how should I practice?"
The vast sea of blood,
I have no idea at all.
this,
But Lu Fang and Zhou Ting had no memory of it because they had never been there either.
Elder Zhu smiled and pointed to a faint red mountain range in the distance. "Do you see it? That's called Zhufeng. There are thousands of caves in it. You can choose one by yourself."
Pause,
Elder Zhu added: "Of course, you can also practice in the blood sea without entering the cave. However, I want to remind you that the blood sea is not peaceful, and there are many powerful monsters."
"I'll go to the cave!" Qin Mo decisively admitted his mistake.
Elder Zhu nodded calmly, his expression suddenly becoming serious: "There is a taboo in the Blood Sea, that is, you cannot touch the corpses in the sea, otherwise I can't save you. Do you understand?"
Among the magic techniques, there are many that like to use corpses to refine weapons or puppets. Elder Zhu said this because he was afraid that Qin Mo would be greedy and do something stupid.
"Elder, where did these corpses come from?" Qin Mo asked curiously.
"I don't know either." Elder Zhu shook his head.
Qin Mo: “????”
"A small number of them are from after the establishment of the Minghe Sect, when the sect discarded the corpses of the killed monsters into the sea of blood to replenish the blood energy. Most of the corpses were there when the sea of blood was formed." Elder Zhu explained.
"In other words, these are all ancient things?" Qin Mo's eyes flashed.
"good!"
After saying so much, Elder Zhu was already a little impatient. "Okay, just practice here. Don't waste this opportunity. I don't want the Blood Evil Sect to disappoint us again."
"clear!"
Qin Mo bowed his head.
Elder Zhu said nothing more, took out another badge, activated it, and disappeared into the sea of blood.
After watching Elder Zhu leave and then looking at the endless sea of blood, Qin Mo felt indescribably kind, with an unfathomable smile on his face.
