Chapter 292: Chapter 286: Drink Its Blood

Deep within the crowd.

Mu Ziling, Yun Jinning, Zheng Bu, Hou Li, Wan Jun, Leng Mang, and others all had pale faces, standing there in a daze, silent.

After a long while.

"We should believe in him!" Mu Ziling said softly.

"Exactly, sister-in-law, the boss could never become useless!" Hou Li clenched his fists, "It’s just a rumor!"

"No matter what, we need to be more cautious now!" Yun Jinning lowered her voice.

Suddenly.

The expressions on their faces subtly changed.

Indeed!

Whether they believed Su Chen was now useless was not important!

What mattered was that nearly everyone else at Taixuan Academy believed Su Chen had become useless, which meant that surely, some would cause them trouble.

First, they received treatment as members of the Inner Courtyard, which would undoubtedly make others envious.

Second, the enemies of Su Chen, such as members of the Ao Alliance, Ao Hong’s brother Ao Zhang, and Elder Yu Tianteng’s faction, might all seek revenge against them.

"Secluded cultivation! Let’s go back immediately, and don’t worry about spending academic credits. Everyone go to the Spirit Qi Tower for secluded cultivation for ten days, then come out!" Yun Jinning immediately spoke up.

"Good idea..." Mu Ziling’s eyes lit up, and she nodded.

The group quickly bowed their heads and left.

Shortly after they had left, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Where are Su Chen’s brothers and his women? They are all parasites, trash like dead dogs, yet they receive Inner Courtyard treatment? I don’t accept this! I want to kill them all!"

One person shouted, followed by ten, then a hundred, then a thousand.

The crowd followed suit.

Knowing Su Chen was now useless.

The students of Taixuan Academy, especially many from the Inner Courtyard, each thought of stepping on them.

After all, wasn’t Su Chen just a newcomer who too quickly outshone any other Inner Courtyard student, these supposed geniuses, monsters, compared to Su Chen, they were nothing but ants, and they were already envious...

Now Su Chen had become useless.

How could they not vent their emotions?

However, it was soon discovered by many students that Yun Jinning, Mu Ziling, and others had vanished without a trace, and upon further investigation, it was learned that they had already gone for secluded cultivation at the Spirit Qi Tower.

"Damn it!!! Hiding turtles, damned hiding turtles, just like Su Chen, that useless man! Shit! Just secluded for ten days, huh? You can hide for a day, but can you hide for a lifetime?"

Inside the Stele Suppressing Tower.

Su Chen’s gaze fell on Ji Linger, "Jiuyou, why is Linger still unconscious? It’s been a month or two, hasn’t it?"

"Her own Divine Soul’s consciousness is battling with the awakening consciousness of the Blue Soul Phoenix Spirit!" Jiuyou spoke, "Whenever one side completely suppresses and assimilates the other, Ji Linger will awaken. In fact, normally, this process should be short, within two or three days, the consciousness of the Blue Soul Phoenix Spirit should have dealt with Ji Linger’s Divine Soul’s consciousness, but because of the Seven-Colored Net from the Divine Phoenix Mountain, the Blue Soul Phoenix Spirit has been shackled."

"Is there a possibility for Linger to defeat the other?"

"No, absolutely not!" Jiuyou confirmed, "It is certain Linger will demonize. That Seven-Colored Net from the Divine Phoenix Mountain can’t last much longer, three to five months at most."

Su Chen fell silent.

He furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

"Kid, stop having wild thoughts. If you want to save Ji Linger, you must possess terrifying strength before she fully demonizes, then I can take you to the Void Space!!!" Jiuyou said sternly.

The first step she mentioned for saving Ji Linger was to take her to the Void Space.

In the Void Space, there is no concept of time and space.

Only the Chaos Flow exists.

Just by making Ji Linger feign death and then placing her in the Void Space, she will always maintain a state of living death, like being frozen, and Su Chen will have endless time to take the second step in saving Ji Linger.

This was the only way.

"Why does it have to be me to take Ji Linger to the Void Space? Can’t someone else do it?" Su Chen couldn’t help but ask.

"It must be you!" Jiuyou’s voice grew heavy, "Once in the Void Space, you can administer the Feigned Death Seal on Ji Linger, and the Feigned Death Seal must be done by the same person who applies it. Plainly speaking, whoever seals Ji Linger, in the future, must be the one to unseal her. If you don’t go, will you be at ease? Are you comfortable with someone else administering the Feigned Death Seal on your behalf?"

"Not at ease!" Su Chen directly said. Of course, he wasn’t at ease. If someone else administered the Feigned Death Seal on Ji Linger, then Ji Linger’s fate and life would be controlled by them, and they could decide when to unseal Ji Linger... that was too dangerous.

"Knowing you wouldn’t be at ease, hence, just focus on greatly enhancing your own strength!" Jiuyou huffed.

"How can I make the Stele Suppressing Tower recognize a master?" Su Chen took a deep breath, shifting his gaze away, setting aside his concerns about Ji Linger and looking in all directions.

The interior of the Stele Suppressing Tower was encased in eight metallic walls, gray-white in color, with each wall adorned with ancient murals.

Su Chen naturally didn’t recognize them.

"To get an artifact to recognize a master, there are two methods: first, nourish it with your blood over a long period of time. After a long time, the artifact will connect with your intentions and acknowledge you as its master. The second method is that you drink its blood, and the artifact will similarly connect with your intentions!"

"What?" Su Chen widened his eyes, astonished, "Jiuyou, can you stop kidding? The first method definitely won’t work; I don’t have that much time. Now about the second method, me drinking its blood?!!! Are you sure you aren’t drunk? It’s an artifact, lifeless, entirely made of alien metal, where does the blood come from that I should drink? Damn!"

Su Chen cursed outright.

"Who said it doesn’t have any? That’s only what you think!" Jiuyou huffed, "In the Myriad Realms, there are many strange things; the only reason you can’t accept it is that your knowledge is too limited! A true artifact definitely possesses ’blood,’ and by ’blood,’ I mean the consciousness of an artifact without a master, which is commonly known as the artifact’s ’spirit’."

Su Chen fell silent, seemingly in thought.

"A masterless artifact, its ’blood’ or ’spirit’ is unconscious, chaotic, and at that time, if you drink it, or rather, integrate it, then it becomes a part of your consciousness."

"I sort of understand now, but I still think... it’s too incredible, isn’t it?" Su Chen swallowed hard, "Assuming what you said is all correct, then where is the ’blood’ or ’spirit’ of the Stele Suppressing Tower? Where do I even start looking?"
