Chapter 714
During the night assault in Greenwood Pass, Wu Qi had killed 795 immortals and itinerant cultivators while capturing 35 immortals and 452 itinerant cultivators . Except for Lu Buwei, who fled with his Heavenly Ghost Grand Magic, none of the attackers survived .
Apart from being able to provide some fresh flesh to quench Ao Buzun and the two dragon pythons' thirst for blood, Wu Qi's greatest gain was the thread of item spirit Lei Meng had stripped off the blood flag with his great power . What came with it was the complete Blood Sea Grand Magic, a vicious, cruel cultivation technique of the Fiend League .
After spending one whole night studying the Blood Sea Grand Magic, Wu Qi learned the reason why Patriarch Yuan Hua was colluding with Lu Buwei—the strongest technique in this grand magic was the eighteen Blood-draining Celestial Fiends, and the best materials that could be used to refine them were the variety of powerful heavenly ghosts from the Ghost Domain . And, as he carefully went through the various malicious and cruel mystic arts and divine abilities recorded in it, he was pleased to find out that he could merge them with the Dragon Kill, allowing his overall strength to be increased further .
He even thought of cultivating the Blood Sea Grand Magic himself .
Of course, if he were to do it, he would not follow Patriarch Yuan Hua's footsteps and slaughter countless living beings . He had his own way to obtain countless blood essence and souls required to cultivate this grand magic . In the Scroll of Stealing was a mystic art which he could use to open up a passage into the Yellow Springs and to the Dark Nether Blood Sea, where he could obtain an endless amount of blood . And, as the immortals of Fiend League were known for crafting all kinds of malicious fiend artifacts with the human souls, he could always kill them and seize those fiend artifacts, bringing himself all the souls he needed .
As for the source materials for the eighteen Blood-draining Celestial Fiends, what could be better than his eighteen celestial fiend puppets? Over the years, these puppets had consumed countless rare and precious materials and minerals, and the strength of their bodies had grown to a shocking level . By fusing a great amount of blood essence and souls with them using the Blood Sea Grand Magic, then refining them with his true flame, Wu Qi could make them at least a hundred times stronger than Lu Buwei's heavenly ghosts .
Currently, these puppets were still corporeal . With their mighty strength, they could destroy almost anything in a head-on battle, but they were weak when it came to some dirty works that needed to be carried out in the dark . However, once Wu Qi had them refined into Blood-draining Celestial Fiends, transforming them from corporeal entities to Celestial Fiends with incorporeal bodies who could freely and silently shift between forms, they would naturally be many times stronger than now .
These were the fruits Wu Qi had harvested from a single night's assault . But, he was facing new trouble now—King Yang Qiu, who regarded him as his future chief warrior, ordered him not to leave the field headquarters, and the reason he gave was simple: Wu Qi was assaulted by a group of immortals and itinerant cultivators, and although they were weak and had been defeated, it did not mean he was safe . He might be assaulted again, and the next batch of attackers might be Gold Immortals from the alliance who had escaped, or some stronger existences .
Before Wu Qi had the overall strength to protect himself, he was forbidden from leaving the field headquarters . The defenses had been increased ten times, and Yu Gu, who babbled all day that he wanted to wed one of his daughters, granddaughters, or great-granddaughters to Wu Qi, was following him everywhere, providing him close protection . The Supreme Oracle knew very well what bright future Wu Qi had, and so he spent most of his time beside the latter, ready to even sleep right next to him if Wu Qi had not rejected that generous offer .
It was under such high security and after thirty-six days in Greenwood Plain that King Yang Qiu ordered the army to decamp, board the flying ships, and head for Liangzhu at the fastest possible speed .
Nearly a thousand flying ships hovered in a huge circle in mid-air . Four Supreme Towers, including Yu Gu's, flanked this massive circle from four sides . Then, the four colossal towers shattered the void and brought the flying ships that carried King Yang Qiu's great army as they sped into the void, heading toward Liangzhu at top speed . With the help of Yu Gu and the three Supreme Oracles sent over by the Directorate of Celestials in Liangzhu, it took them only three days to arrive at You Xiong Plain from Greenwood Plain .
You Xiong Plain was the birthplace of You Xiong clan, the place where the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, the Central Great Emperor of Pangu Continent, grew up and thrived . In ancient times, after the human race was born, they settled in tribes across Pangu Continent . Later, it was the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan who brought his clan members and spent thousands of years to pull all the tribes into a tribal alliance . This brought together the strength of all the tribes and gave the human race the power to fight against those ancient gods, demons, and fiends .
Because of such achievement, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan was bestowed with boundless virtues and honored by the human race as the 'Holy Emperor' . Relying on the boundless virtues, he survived from the ancient times to the present . Today, together with the Yan Emperor Shennong, he ranked among the five Great Emperors of the Pangu Continent, and became the supreme protector of the human race .
Because of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan's virtues, You Xiong Plain had become the most fertile and natural energy-rich land on Pangu Continent .
Measuring a hundred billion miles in circumference, You Xiong Plain did not have any energy vein . But under it was a colossal spirit cave which Wu Qi had never heard, seen, or even thought of before! Some said that this spirit cave was evolved from the Great Saint Pangu's heart, the largest spirit cave on Pangu Continent . The hundreds of millions of huge energy veins stretching out of it were the sources of the countless smaller energy veins spreading across the entire Pangu Continent .
