As Song Wen learned more about the Blood of Fallen Immortal from Xu Geng, his brow furrowed deeper.
"Didn't the Divine Blood Gate have any countermeasures against the Blood of Fallen Immortal?"
Xu Geng didn't answer immediately. He fell into deep thought.
After several breaths, he spoke.
"Back then, one of the people who descended to the Lower Realm with me brought down a set of Mystic Treasures called the 'Frost Ice Nails.' This treasure consists of one hundred and eight long nails, each crafted from 'Frost Crystal.' They might have a miraculous effect against the Blood of Fallen Immortal."
"I recall that when this person ascended, he bestowed the Frost Ice Nails upon a core disciple of the Divine Blood Gate. As for what happened to the nails afterward, whether they were lost or brought back to the Upper Realm, I have no idea."
Song Wen quickly searched his memories for anything related to the Frost Ice Nails, but found nothing.
He temporarily set the matter aside and began calculating the gap between himself and Blood Sui.
After a moment, Song Wen reluctantly realized that even if his cultivation reached Peak Nascent Soul, he probably still couldn't defeat Blood Sui head-on.
Just then, Xu Geng's voice suddenly rang out.
"Ji Yin, there's no need for you to face Blood Sui alone. You could easily find some helpers. In my opinion, the Mystic Qi contained within this Blood of Fallen Immortal could help at least three or four people advance to Divine Transformation."
"Really? Are you absolutely certain?" Song Wen questioned.
"Eight or nine times out of ten. Besides, Blood Sui is incredibly difficult to kill. If you can obtain even a portion of its flesh and cultivate it with blood food and Spirit Stones, the Mystic Qi within its body will be sufficient for you to advance to Divine Transformation in just a few centuries. Moreover, the Corpse King's Rebirth Art already aids in the fusion of the Three Souls. Therefore, compared to others, you require far less Mystic Qi." Xu Geng explained.
Song Wen fell silent for a moment, his gaze suddenly sharpening.
Xu Geng's words held undeniable logic.
Blood Sui's strength had already reached the limit of what this world could contain. If he were to suddenly break through and inexplicably ascend one day, Song Wen's efforts would all be in vain.
He needed to keep Blood Sui completely under his control to feel secure.
And if he were to seek allies, the stronger they were, the better.
Song Wen's first thought was Mo Yexue.
Her Natal Magic Treasure's offensive power was no less than that of the Twelve Capitals Corpse Formation. Moreover, a flying sword was more nimble and easier to control.
Of course, Lan Chen had to be included as well. Her Spirit Sense Manipulation Technique was useless against Blood Sui, but it could still alleviate considerable pressure on Song Wen and Mo Yexue. Besides, Blood Sui's Mystic Qi was enough for three or four people to use, so one more wouldn't make much difference.
Actually, besides Lan Chen and Mo Yexue, there was another potential candidate: Xuan Chengzi of the Liangyi Sect. However, Song Wen didn't trust Xuan Chengzi and decided to set him aside for now.
Having made up his mind, Song Wen summoned his escape light and set off for Bliss City.
Bliss City.
A private chamber in the He Huan Heavenly Spring Courtyard.
Lan Chen, her face flushed like a peach blossom, gracefully pushed open the door and entered.
Upon seeing Song Wen seated on a wooden chair in the room, she said with a hint of resentment in her voice, "Ji Yin, you've finally remembered me."
With that, she waved her hand to close the door and activated the room's formation restriction.
Then, her figure drifted down, landing in Song Wen's embrace, where she began to playfully touch and caress him.
Seizing her slender, jade-like hand that was groping at his chest, Song Wen said sternly, "Lan Chen, I came to see you today for serious business."
Lan Chen gave a charming smile, her shoulders trembling slightly as her robes slipped off her shoulders, revealing her full breasts, half-covered and half-hidden, sparking the imagination.
"Our strength is already at the peak of this world, and the path to Divine Transformation has been severed. What serious business could we possibly have? Seizing the moment and enjoying life is the true way."
With that, she exhaled softly, her breath fragrant as orchids, and her red lips slowly moved toward Song Wen's.
"I really do..."
Song Wen had intended to explain, but after a moment's thought, he gave up.
Soon, the room filled with soft, seductive sounds.
Five days later.
Lan Chen lay naked in Song Wen's arms, her face still flushed with passion.
"Ji Yin, shall we continue?"
Song Wen shook his head, gently pushing Lan Chen away. He rose from the bed, walked to the wooden table, and drank a large gulp of tea.
I don't know what this tea is steeped in, but just one sip made the emptiness in Song Wen's lower back feel a little better.
"I came to see you about the Fallen Immortal Blood," Song Wen said.
"Fallen Immortal Blood?" Lan Chen's face lit up with interest. She draped a gossamer veil over her shoulders and joined him at the wooden table. "Have you found any clues about it?"
Song Wen replied, "Not clues. I've found the Fallen Immortal Blood itself."
Lan Chen, who had been raising her teacup to her lips, froze mid-motion. Her eyes widened, and her expression became a complex mix of shock, excitement, and wild joy.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course!" Song Wen affirmed.
"Where is it?" Lan Chen asked urgently.
"The Beastmaster Sect's Guardian Divine Beast, Blood Sui, is the Fallen Immortal Blood," Song Wen replied.
"Blood Sui is the Fallen Immortal Blood?" Lan Chen asked, disbelief evident in her voice.
Song Wen nodded.
Still struggling to believe it, Lan Chen pressed further. "How did you find this out?"
"Xu Geng told me himself before he died," Song Wen said.
"Xu Geng! He's dead? How did he die?" Lan Chen asked.
"I met him near Corpse Demon Peak a year ago," Song Wen explained. "He was already on his last breath. According to him, he had suffered a cultivation mishap."
"You're not lying to me, are you?" Lan Chen asked, her gaze filled with suspicion as she looked at Song Wen.
It wasn't surprising she didn't trust him. The story Song Wen had spun was simply too unbelievable.
Xu Geng, the Vice Sect Leader of the Divine Blood Gate, had already advanced his soul to the Divine Transformation realm. How could he have died from a cultivation mishap?
Furthermore, the Fallen Immortal Blood was linked to Divine Transformation, and Divine Transformation meant ascending to the Upper Realm, where one could continue their pursuit of immortality and eternal life.
Such an opportunity was enough to make even the closest bonds—master and disciple, blood relatives, Dao companions—betray each other.
Though Lan Chen and Song Wen shared a deep connection, it shouldn't have been enough for him to reveal such crucial information.
At least, if she were in his position, she could never have done the same.
Song Wen flipped his hand, and a Magic Staff floated above his palm.
The staff was about ten feet long, adorned with nine circular rings—Mi Hai's Natal Magic Treasure.
Lan Chen recognized the staff at a glance, her voice tinged with disbelief. "Xu Geng really died before your eyes? And the Fallen Immortal Blood is truly Blood Sui's?"
Song Wen replied firmly, "With the bond between us, how could I deceive you?"
Lan Chen's face lit up with ecstatic joy as she paced back and forth in the room.
"Ji Yin, since we know the Fallen Immortal Blood's whereabouts, why don't we go to the Beastmaster Sect right now and seize it?"
Afterward, Song Wen briefly recounted his journey to the Beastmaster Sect.
Lan Chen's expression turned astonished upon hearing this. "Even you couldn't harm Blood Sui?"
Song Wen nodded slightly. "Even if you and I joined forces, we'd likely struggle to defeat him. I intend to invite Mo Yexue to join us. What do you think?"
Lan Chen replied, "You discovered the Fallen Immortal Blood first. It's your decision."
