Chapter 599: Four Eight Two, Underworld River Ancestor_3

Being with the Ancestor of the Underworld River, Jiang Chen always felt a sense of unease. Thus, as soon as the deal was concluded, he was getting ready to leave.

However, the Ancestor of the Underworld River was unwilling to let him leave just yet: "Hold on, young friend. As I said, I want to invest in you. I naturally have to offer you some benefits before letting you go."

Benefits?

If the Ancestor of the Underworld River claimed to provide benefits, Jiang Chen was hesitant to believe it. The Ancestor of the Underworld River was in such a condition that he couldn’t even open his eyes. How would he provide benefits?

Would he present the Twelve Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus, as well as the Innate Killing Swords of Yuan Tu and Abi?

Stop kidding! Even if the Ancestor of the Underworld River dared to present these three treasures, Jiang Chen would not be audacious enough to accept. Not to mention, the Ancestor of the Underworld River, who was sealed by the two saints of the West, might not have the ability to give away the treasures he possessed.

As Jiang Chen pondered, the Ancestor of the Underworld River spoke, "Given my current state, even if I have treasures at hand, I cannot give them to you."

"At present, the only thing I can offer is this Innate Taoist Scripture that I created myself. Listen to this, young friend:"

"The Tao of the Blood God, with blood as the foundation, gives birth to everything..."

During his discourse, the Ancestor of the Underworld River passed on an Innate Taoist Scripture called the ’Blood God Sutra’ to Jiang Chen.

This Innate Taoist Scripture speaks of the Tao of Blood, with the primary content focusing on cultivating the Blood God Child within the body. The so-called Blood God Child represents a separate life and identity, formed from the essence of one’s blood.

If a cultivator encounters a fatal crisis, the damage can be transferred to the Blood God Child, letting it die in their place.

The Blood God Sutra could be considered a top-tier survival technique in the Prehistoric World. At the same time, it was also a rare method specifically focusing on the cultivation of incarnations.

Should the Blood God Sutra be cultivated to perfection, it was possible to create as many as 840 million Blood God Children within the body.

million Blood God Children equaled 840 million lives, 840 million incarnations. This was significantly more than the number of incarnations Jiang Chen could cultivate using Emperor Pan’s Heavenly Divine Great Dao Scripture.

However, unlike Emperor Pan’s Heavenly Divine Great Dao Scripture, it was almost impossible to bring the Blood God Sutra to perfection.

One’s energy is limited. Creating one Blood God Child required the consumption of one’s entire blood essence. Therefore, to create 840 million Blood God Children, one would have to deplete their blood essence 840 million times.

Who could possibly achieve this?

Even the Ancestor of the Underworld River, who created this Innate Taoist Scripture, couldn’t accomplish such a feat. Although he managed to cultivate the Blood God Sutra to perfection and form 840 million Blood God Children, he did so by relying on external forces, not his own cultivation.

To refine the entire Sea of Blood was a unique method and wouldn’t be easily replicated since there was only one Underworld Sea.

After meticulously reviewing the Blood God Sutra, Jiang Chen concluded that he could not cultivate this Innate Taoist Scripture. However, that didn’t mean it was useless to him.

The state Jiang Chen was aiming to achieve, embodying the Flesh and Blood Creatures, required him to imbue every drop of his blood with spirituality, enabling them to transform into incarnations.

This was very similar to the Blood God Children described in the Blood God Sutra. If Jiang Chen could comprehend the Blood God Sutra, it would be extremely beneficial to his cultivation. Not only would it help him rapidly achieve the state of Flesh and Blood Creatures, but it would also enable the creation of more variations within this state.

After committing the Blood God Sutra to memory and ensuring nothing was left out, Jiang Chen thanked the Ancestor of the Underworld River: "Thank you for bestowing this scripture, Old Ancestor. The Blood God Sutra is very useful to me and saves me a great deal of trouble."

As the saying goes, there are strings attached to benefits received. Having received the benefit from the Ancestor of the Underworld River, Jiang Chen’s tone became more respectful.

The Ancestor of the Underworld River laughed heartily, "As long as it’s useful. Once you have cultivated the Blood God Sutra to the beginner level, you can try meditating on the Karma Fire Red Lotus. Then, you will find the opportunity I left behind in the Prehistoric World years ago."

At this point, the tone of the Ancestor of the Underworld River turned sorrowful, "Alas, years ago, a lotus seed was formed by the Karma Fire Red Lotus. I planted it in a very secret place, planning to wait for it to mature, then send the Asuras to find it as a trial for them."

"I did not expect that I was suppressed by the two saints of the West shortly after planting the lotus seed. I did not have time to inform the Asuras about this."

Didn’t get time to tell the Asuras?

This was good news. If you had told the Asuras, the Red Lotus Seed would have nothing to do with me.

Jiang Chen immediately became excited when he heard the Ancestor of the Underworld River mention the opportunity was the Karma Fire Red Lotus’s seed. He had not forgotten that the condition for the Ninth-grade Creation Green Lotus to advance was to continuously swallow items related to the Chaos Green Lotus.

The Red Lotus Seed was one such item.

If the Ninth-grade Creation Green Lotus swallowed it, it would definitely upgrade to a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Even if it was the lowest grade, it would still be a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, which was far better.

Wait a moment...

Thinking of items related to the Chaos Green Lotus, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something. Three lotus petals of the Buddhistic door’s Twelve-grade Merit Gold Lotus were swallowed by the Mosquito Daoist in one go.

The Mosquito Daoist was the second being born of the Sea of Blood.

The Twelve-grade Merit Gold Lotus was a high-grade Innate Merit Spiritual Treasure. Although the Mosquito Daoist could absorb its petals and possibly refine them, he could not destroy them.

This meant that as long as Jiang Chen could catch the Mosquito Daoist, he would be able to get those three gold lotus petals he absorbed from him.

Should the Ninth-grade Creation Green Lotus swallow this, the benefits it could get would be much greater compared to swallowing the Red Lotus Seed.

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Chen decided that he must kill the Mosquito Daoist. This individual deserved death, not because he swallowed the Twelve-grade Merit Gold Lotus, but because he killed one of the four main disciples of the Jiejiao Sect, the Turtle Spirit Saint Mother.

This was Jiang Chen’s own senior sister, and he naturally had the duty to avenge her.

However, there were many in the Three Realms who wished to kill the Mosquito Daoist, yet none succeeded. Not because the Mosquito Daoist was incredibly powerful, but because he was too good at hiding. To this day, no one had been able to locate him.

Had he not been so adept at escaping, how else could the Mosquito Daoist have escaped from the saints?
