The Power of Blood (2)

Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces, except Jian Ai.

She knew little about the power of the blood because Bai Zhou had never told her this. However, just from the name, it seemed to be very powerful.

However, everyone’s expressions were written on their faces. Jian Ai could vaguely feel that things were not as simple as she thought.

She couldn’t help but blink and ask tentatively, “You don’t look happy… So what’s with this power of blood?”

Everyone looked at Jian Ai and looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated, making Jian Ai even more suspicious.

In the end, Yu Wuyuan said, “Let Bai Zhou explain. We heard the rumors about the power of blood from Bai Zhou as well.”

Jian Ai raised her eyebrows in understanding. She thought she was the only one who didn’t know what was going on. It turned out that the others had also learned about it from Bai Zhou. It was just that Bai Zhou didn’t mention it to her.

As the encyclopedia of the ancient sect, Bai Zhou’s brain inherited all the information about the ancient sect, including the only forbidden technique in the ancient sect—the power of blood!

Hearing this, Bai Zhou’s pursed thin lips moved before he explained in a low voice, “According to the information I inherited, this power of blood was not the ancient sect’s ability in the beginning.”

“It’s not the ancient sect’s ability?” Jian Ai exclaimed.

Bai Zhou nodded, and Jian Ai was even more stunned. “Then… why did it become a forbidden technique of the ancient sect?”

Bai Zhou explained, “About three thousand and five hundred years ago, there was a huge upheaval in the cultivation world. At that time, on the continent where the ancient sect was located, dark-type cultivation techniques suddenly appeared. Unknowingly, everyone gradually expanded their forces in the dark and developed extremely quickly.”

“This kind of dark-type cultivation technique is extremely demonic. It will bewitch the minds of cultivators and make them go crazy and become demons, harming innocent living beings!”

“When the sects on the continent discovered the existence of dark-type mental cultivation techniques, they had already formed a considerable scale. At that time, the ancient sect was ranked as the leader of the sects. They called for all the righteous men on the continent to gather and annihilate the dark-type cultivators!”

“The war between the righteous and evil sides on the continent officially started. However, no one expected that this dark-type cultivation would establish its own sect and name it the devil’s cave. Its leader was worshiped as the Demon Emperor, and tens of thousands of people worshipped him!”

“The Demon Emperor is powerful. The power of blood he created will cause one’s body to be indestructible. Moreover, the more blood his hands are tainted with, the stronger he will be!”

When Bai Zhou said this, Jian Ai immediately had goosebumps. She didn’t know what to feel.

Could it be that she had not inherited the ancient sect’s mental cultivation techniques but the demonic merits of this Demon Emperor?

Bai Zhou continued, “The war lasted for twelve years. Because of this battle, the continent suffered a devastating blow. People were living in misery everywhere, but because the Demon Emperor’s power of blood caused his body to be indestructible, they could not kill him. This chaotic scene fell into a deadlock for a moment!”

“But as long as the Demon Emperor is not eliminated, this continent will always be in deep trouble. Moreover, as time passes, the Demon Emperor will absorb more blood. He will become stronger, and in the end, be even more impossible to defeat.”

“In the end, the second-generation sect master of the ancient sect, Zhenren Chuiyuan, created the Fantasy Star Arrow. Zhenren Chuiyuan created this against the Demon Emperor’s power of blood. Moreover, with Zhenren Chuiyuan’s cultivation, he needed to use all his cultivation to use the Fantasy Star Arrow.”

“But for the sake of the world, Zhenren Chuanyuan still used this one-time Fantasy Star Arrow on the Demon Emperor!”

“In the end, the Demon Emperor’s soul flew away and was annihilated because of this. However, the power of blood in his body had already reached the Illusory World, and he had mental strength!”

“The power of blood with mental strength was naturally extracted from the Demon Emperor’s body before he disappeared. It attached to Zhenren Chunyuan, whose cultivation had fallen to zero. This made Zhenren Chunyuan, who had spent a thousand years of cultivation to fight for this battle, become the successor of the power of blood!”

“This way, the power of blood inexplicably became the ancient sect’s ability!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhou took a deep breath and said to Jian Ai, “This is the information recorded in my memory. Perhaps I might have missed something, but this should be the core of the matter. This power of blood was a dark-type cultivation technique at the beginning. Moreover, the Demon Emperor founded this evil cultivation technique. It’s abnormally powerful!”

Although the others knew the approximate origin of the power of blood, they had never heard such a detailed story. They could not help but be secretly shocked. With such powerful strength, no wonder it could send Yu Wuyuan and Chi Lian flying so far.

Jian Ai had mixed feelings in her heart. She couldn’t describe what she felt. She felt an inexplicable foul air stuck in her chest!

Why did it become like this? She was the sect master chosen by the ancient sect, but she had inherited the Demon Emperor’s mental cultivation techniques. Wasn’t this… putting the cart before the horse?

Could it be that she was a devil in her bones?

Impossible. Jian Ai rejected this idea herself. She had harmed no one in her previous life. She was so cute, beautiful, kind, and innocent. How could she be a demon?!

“So have the people from the ancient sect cultivated the power of blood since then?” Jian Ai asked, unwilling to give up.

If someone had cultivated it before, she could let it go. However, if not, she would curse in her heart. Why did she have to cultivate this evil technique? If she went berserk, wouldn’t she become a demon?!

The answer was always chilling.

Bai Zhou shook his head. “The power of blood is indeed powerful. It’s so powerful that so many cultivation experts couldn’t defeat it even if they worked together. However, its strength is built on the source of evil!”

“Many people who knew about this wanted to enter the ancient sect to obtain the powerful power of blood. These people have been harboring evil intentions from the beginning. Zhenren Chuiyuan knew that as long as this power of blood existed, it was equivalent to the consciousness of the Demon Emperor surviving in this continent. Even if the Demon Emperor was dead, the power of blood is still imperceptibly bewitching those with evil intentions!”

“Therefore, after that, Zhenren Chuiyuan listed the power of blood as a forbidden technique of the ancient sect. It was also the only forbidden technique of the ancient sect in a thousand years! There was no inheritance or mental cultivation techniques. After Zhenren Chuiyuan passed away, this power of blood was lost!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhou couldn’t help but look at Jian Ai and mutter, “I didn’t expect you to inherit such a powerful and evil power!”

Jian Ai: “…”

“What should we do…” Jian Ai immediately cowered. She was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that this evil power would control her and turn her into a murderous demon!
