Lan Chen took out a Communication Jade Slip and sent a message.
Then, she slowly raised her eyelids, her eyes curving into crescent moons as she gazed at Song Wen with passionate affection.
"Ji Yin, I never had much hope of advancing to Divine Transformation. I never imagined you would bring me news of the Blood of Fallen Immortal. How can I ever repay you?"
As she spoke, her thin gauze dress fluttered, her delicate figure half-concealed.
Feeling the fiery passion and amorousness in Lan Chen's gaze, Song Wen touched his lower back and hastily said, "Immortal Maiden Lan Chen, we should set off for the Profound Heaven Sword Sect as soon as possible to find Mo Yexue."
Lan Chen chuckled softly, her smile as radiant as a blooming flower.
"No need. I've already sent a message to inform her. She'll be here soon. Spring nights are short. Let's not waste any time."
"Immortal Maiden, wait! We... hiss..."
Outside Bliss City.
A pavilion atop a small mountain peak.
Mo Yexue drifted down gracefully, glancing at Song Wen and Lan Chen within the pavilion.
"Huh! Ji Yin, you're here too," Mo Yexue said, her voice tinged with surprise.
Then she continued, "Lan Chen, why did you summon me in such a hurry? What's the matter?"
Lan Chen feigned a mysterious smile. "I called you here because I have great news."
Mo Yexue strolled into the pavilion, found an empty seat, and sat down, her eyes gleaming with curiosity. "I'm intrigued. What great news could it be?"
"Blood of Fallen Immortal!" Lan Chen lowered her voice, speaking softly.
Mo Yexue, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up. She waved her hand, conjuring a Spiritual Power barrier that enveloped the entire pavilion.
"Lan Chen, you've found news about the Blood of Fallen Immortal?"
Lan Chen said, "Yexue, don't get so excited. Sit down first."
After Mo Yexue had settled back into her seat, Lan Chen spoke again.
"Ji Yin has already located the Blood of Fallen Immortal. He should explain the details."
Mo Yexue turned to Song Wen, her eyes sparkling with excitement and eagerness.
Song Wen didn't keep them in suspense like Lan Chen had. He calmly explained the matter of Blood Sui.
"Hahaha..."
Mo Yexue burst into laughter after hearing this.
"Yang Yu, Gui Ni, Xue Mei, Gou Jun, and others, all schemed and used every trick in the book for the Blood of Fallen Immortal. In the end, it turned out that the Blood of Fallen Immortal was none other than Blood Sui, a figure everyone knew! Especially Yang Yu—Blood Sui was right under his nose, yet he remained completely oblivious. Truly laughable! Hahaha..."
Her laughter abruptly ceased, and Mo Yexue solemnly bowed to Song Wen.
"Ji Yin, I'll remember this favor. If you ever need my help, Mo Yexue, don't hesitate to ask."
Song Wen quickly replied, "Fellow Daoist Mo, there's no need for that. We're simply helping each other out."
"Ji Yin, is one Blood Sui enough for the three of us to reach Divine Transformation?" After calming down, Mo Yexue asked with some concern.
Song Wen replied, "According to Xu Geng, the Mystic Qi contained within Blood Sui is sufficient for three to four people to achieve Divine Transformation."
"That's good." Mo Yexue relaxed. Then, with a hint of curiosity, she asked, "Is Xu Geng's soul in your possession?"
Song Wen nodded and then asked, "Have you heard of a set of Mystic Treasures called the Frost Ice Nails?"
Mo Yexue and Lan Chen exchanged glances before shaking their heads simultaneously.
"Ji Yin, why are you asking about this treasure?" Lan Chen inquired.
Song Wen replied, "According to Xu Geng, the only way to defeat Blood Sui is to use a sharp weapon to forcefully sever it. There's no other method. However, Blood Sui's outer layer is extremely tough, making it difficult for ordinary Mystic Treasures to penetrate. The Frost Ice Nails, originating from the Divine Blood Gate, might have an unexpected effect against Blood Sui."
Mo Yexue asked, "Ji Yin, in your opinion, could my natal flying sword break through Blood Sui's defenses?"
Song Wen replied, "It should be able to pierce through, but it would be difficult to truly cripple Blood Sui."
Lan Chen frowned slightly. "Besides the Spirit Treasure short blade in your possession, Ji Yin, I believe Mo Yexue's natal flying sword is already the sharpest weapon in this world. If even that can only barely pierce Blood Sui's defenses, I can't imagine any other treasure that could pose a threat to it."
"Blood Sui isn't invincible," Song Wen said, rising to his feet slowly. "Xu Geng told us that Blood Sui draws Spiritual Qi from the earth veins. If we sever all the earth veins around the Beastmaster Sect, Blood Sui will be unable to replenish its Spiritual Qi. Then, we can surround and attack it, slowly draining its remaining energy. Once its Spiritual Qi is exhausted, it will be like a lamb awaiting slaughter, at our mercy."
Lan Chen said, "Severing the earth veins will enrage Blood Sui. Based on your experience, Ji Yin, we'll find it difficult to withstand its attacks. Slowly draining its Spiritual Qi won't be easy."
Song Wen replied, "Your He Huan Sect and the Profound Heaven Sword Sect have both endured for ten thousand years. Surely you possess numerous defensive Formations. We can use these Formations to defend ourselves, wait for the opportune moment, and gradually deplete Blood Sui's Spiritual Qi."
Lan Chen shook her head. "I doubt any Formation can withstand Blood Sui's attacks."
Song Wen countered, "If one Formation isn't enough, we'll use ten, or even a hundred."
Mo Yexue suddenly interjected, "I agree with Ji Yin's plan."
Lan Chen said, "There's another problem with this plan. Cutting off all the earth veins around the Beastmaster Sect will cause the Spiritual Qi within it to gradually dissipate. Mi He probably won't agree to this."
"Mi He?" Mo Yexue stood tall and straight as a sword, a chilling sword intent radiating from her. "If Mi He dares to say 'no,' I'll kill her and slaughter the entire Beastmaster Sect. Anyone who dares obstruct my path to Divine Transformation will become my sworn enemy!"
The three of them finalized their plan and parted ways.
Lan Chen and Mo Yexue returned to their respective sects to gather powerful defensive Formations.
As for Song Wen's Asura Sect, it had no remarkable Formations to offer, only some materials for setting them up.
Song Wen didn't return to the Asura Sect. Instead, he gave a jade slip to Lan Chen, telling her that she could send someone to the Asura Sect to collect any materials she needed.
The jade slip was for Zhou Siyi, instructing her to cooperate fully with the He Huan Sect and the Profound Heaven Sword Sect in all their actions.
As the current vice sect leader of the Asura Sect, Zhou Siyi could mobilize all of the sect's resources.
After bidding farewell to the two women, Song Wen headed for the Endless Desert.
He planned to venture into the Chaotic Sea to see if he could find the Frost Ice Nails. While there, he would also raid the Wu Ji Sect for array-formation materials.
Chaotic Sea.
Wu Ji Sect.
Three Corpses Peak.
As Song Wen opened the restriction on his cultivation cave, Shu Niang noticed his return and flew over on her sword.
"Demon Lord, you've returned to the sect!" Shu Niang bowed deeply, her face plastered with a fawning smile.
As Song Wen's personal maid, she was constantly showered with flattery and resources by others, allowing her cultivation to soar. She was now in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Song Wen said, "Go fetch Le Liang to see me."
The original sect leader of the Wu Ji Sect, Fang Xian, had little time left. After receiving the Primordial Nascent Soul Pill from Song Wen and preparing for several years, he had entered seclusion to attempt Core Formation.
This left the sect leader position vacant, which Le Liang had taken over.
"Yes!"
Shu Niang left to carry out the order.
Soon, Le Liang appeared at the cave entrance.
"Demon Lord, your subordinate Le Liang requests an audience."
"Enter," Song Wen's voice echoed from within.
Le Liang entered the cave.
After a brief inquiry about the Wu Ji Sect's recent affairs, Song Wen asked, "Sect Leader Le, have you ever heard of a Mystic Treasure called the Frost Ice Nails?"
