Chapter 1250: Chapter 0720: Blood Covenant Hundred Forging Skills_2 Chapter 1250: Chapter 0720: Blood Covenant Hundred Forging Skills_2 Qi Tian cursed under his breath “Wretched Bones” as he conscientiously memorized the methods the ghost face had revealed. He then gestured for it to step back and pointed at another, ordering it to divulge everything it knew without any concealment.

Thus, none could escape Qi Tian’s extraction of knowledge, and even if the methods known to the ghost faces were closely guarded secrets of certain factions, at this moment they had no choice but to obediently reveal them to Qi Tian without holding anything back.

Despite there being only nine ghost faces, in total, they disclosed over fifty methods to Qi Tian. After discounting the overlapping ones and those that were unclear, there were still twenty-three methods Qi Tian could employ and experiment with.

Qi Tian was exceedingly satisfied with the outcome, realizing that these nine ghost faces were indeed a treasure trove. Apart from providing assistance in battle, the comprehensive knowledge of the Cultivation World they possessed was also immensely valuable. When he had time, he resolved to thoroughly exploit them, making them relinquish all their knowledge which would then become his personal collection, serving to enhance his insight and experience, and ultimately his strength.

Qi Tian spent some time meticulously comparing the twenty-three methods and finally decided on three to attempt. The twenty discarded methods were not suitable for the current circumstances and would have proved unproductive.

Given Qi Tian’s abilities, he was unable to determine which of the three selected methods was superior. He arbitrarily chose one and began experimenting, hoping for a favorable outcome.

The method he chose was the Blood Covenant Hundred Forging Skills. According to the ghost face that had unveiled this method, it was widely applicable within the Cultivation World. No matter how the original Blood Pact had been signed, it could be strengthened using this method, one effect being the enhancement of the bond between the members of the Blood Pact. This method did not have any remarkable features or particular advantages; its main draw was its low difficulty and wide applicability, which correspondingly meant its efficiency and results were somewhat lackluster.

Qi Tian opted for it because he valued its low difficulty—an attractive feature since this was his first time attempting such a procedure. It seemed sensible to start with a less challenging method to get a feel for the process.

As the ghost face narrated, Qi Tian had recorded the entire Blood Covenant Hundred Forging Skills onto a blank jade slip. He now held it and reread the contents attentively once again.

This time, he read with exceptional care and seriousness, continuously running simulations in his mind. He hoped to envision the entire process from start to finish, to minimize potential complications during the actual operation and to avoid any unnecessary mistakes.

After repeatedly deliberating in his mind and making sure he knew the procedure thoroughly enough to avoid mistakes, Qi Tian began making the necessary preparations to initiate the Blood Covenant Hundred Forging Skills.

The process required quite a few materials, but the most critical one was Qi Tian’s blood—an additional drawback of this method. But at that moment, Qi Tian did not consider the alternatives; he was going to exhaust only his regular blood, not his Essence Blood. Otherwise, he would never have contemplated this method.

Shortly, Qi Tian fetched the various materials and treated them preliminarily as required. Then he positioned them properly before taking out a jade bowl and placing it in the designated spot.

Once the preparations were complete, Qi Tian started the Blood Covenant Hundred Forging Skills. He sliced open his wrist, allowing his fresh blood to gush from the wound and drip into the jade bowl.

The bowl seemed ordinary, but as soon as the blood fell into it, the blood began boiling almost instantaneously. When there was half a bowl full of blood, it astonishingly started to churn in the bowl, visibly folding into itself continuously as if being hammered by an invisible mallet.

The process lasted for about a hundred seconds; the blood in the jade bowl slowly ceased its churning and returned to calm. At that moment, a blood-colored thread arose from the bowl, shooting straight up toward the sky, rising higher and higher.

After the blood thread had risen about a person’s height, it suddenly disappeared from sight. It wasn’t that the entire thing vanished, but at a certain height, it was as if there was a black hole that devoured the continuously ascending blood thread, relocating it to some unknown place.

Thus, the blood within the bowl kept vanishing until, at last, there was none left. The materials Qi Tian had prepared lost their spiritual essence after the blood disappeared; they were no longer of much value.

Such an outcome left Qi Tian not angry but overjoyed, as all signs indicated that he had achieved unprecedented success with the Blood Covenant Hundred Forging Skills. In other words, the connection between him and the now invisible Liuli Sand had been significantly strengthened.

Qi Tian couldn’t wait to try and pinpoint the location of the Liuli Sand.

Before utilizing the Blood Covenant Hundred Forging Skills, Qi Tian couldn’t sense the Liuli Sand at all, but now, though he wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, he felt he had a vague sense of the Liuli Sand. He could discern that it wasn’t too far from him, yet he couldn’t detect its exact location.

Feeling even a vague connection was a tremendous improvement. Without any hesitation, Qi Tian quickly consumed a pill that stimulated blood production and once again took out identical materials to perform the Blood Covenant Hundred Forging Skills for the second time.

This time, the spell succeeded again, and by the time it was complete, Qi Tian could clearly sense where the Liuli Sand was. He now had a rough idea of its precise direction and the distance between them.

After gaining this sensing capability, Qi Tian was a bit dumbfounded; if his perception was accurate, the current location of the Liuli Sand seemed rather troublesome to deal with.

Just as Qi Tian had initially speculated, the Liuli Sand was still inside the Inner Underground Palace, hidden behind a wall. Qi Tian had dealt with this wall not long ago, but due to the immense danger inside, he had opted to bypass it.

Qi Tian’s gaze fixed on the wall, at the sealed hole he had encountered before. That hole was now blocked by him, and he pondered whether to open it and release all the Millennium Corpse Water contained behind.

At this very moment, the Liuli Sand was behind the wall holding back the Millennium Corpse Water. Although the Blood Covenant Hundred Forging Skills had been performed twice to enhance his connection, Qi Tian still couldn’t precisely locate the Liuli Sand, but he was now sure of its general position—it had to be here.

Now the difficulty lay in the Millennium Corpse Water, which completely separated him from the Liuli Sand. If Qi Tian wished to bring the Liuli Sand back to his side, he would need to deal with the Millennium Corpse Water, which was no easy feat.

Qi Tian was all too aware of the malevolence of the Millennium Corpse Water. Despite his strength having significantly increased—multiple times over—since entering the Saint’s Tomb, he was nothing but a junior in the face of the Millennium Corpse Water. To deal with him, it wouldn’t require much; just one drop would be enough to doom Qi Tian to an irreparable place.
