Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 368: Chapter 310: Uses of the Dragon Blood Stone

You Li was currently lying on his small bed, surrounded by various magical artifacts and runes, enveloped by a suppressive force that sealed off the entire room. Especially outside the small bed, a golden barrier trapped it completely.

Even so, the Nanli Sword Studio was still not at ease, adding female disciples to keep a constant watch.

When a group of people rushed in, they happened to see black tentacles emerging from You Li’s body, probing towards the bottom of the bed.

Trying to escape?

Xia Wuyou waved away the barrier, and an icy sword intent filled the entire room instantly. Just as he was about to strike, the tentacles snatched a blood-red stone and quickly retreated.

As the tentacles retracted onto the bed, they suddenly coiled up, and a tiny mouth began to expand, then swallowed the stone in one gulp to everyone’s astonishment.

It was too late to stop it now; the monster swallowed the stone and transformed back into a fluid, returning into You Li’s body.

Han Yu was extremely shocked; wasn’t that stone the Dragon Blood Stone? So the monster was interested in this thing?

When You Li was first brought back, the people of Nanli Sword Studio had tried everything to make the thing come out, without success.

Just as he had concluded earlier, this monster wasn’t just not stupid but rather clever, knowing it was safest to hide inside You Li’s body.

The fact that it risked coming out indicated that the Dragon Blood Stone was extremely important to it.

Recalling the previous scene, the monster was willing to abandon half of its flesh just to enter You Li’s body. Could it be for the energy from the Dragon Blood Stone within her?

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, especially since Old Ghost Ling had also suggested the Dragon Blood Stone might be artificially created. All of this seemed to be the handiwork of the Corpse Refining Lineage.

When he shared these thoughts with everyone, Xia Wuyou, upon hearing it was the work of the Corpse Refining Lineage, couldn’t help but show a hint of murderous intent, ”So is the Corpse Refining Lineage targeting our Nanli Sword Studio?”

That’s unlikely; it should be related to the matters in Nanling City.

But it appears You Li, in his blundering manner, inadvertently got himself into trouble.

”Since the Dragon Blood Stone causes such effects on cultivators, could it be that it isn’t meant for cultivators at all?”

Han Yu raised such questions, but since it was created, it must have a purpose and couldn’t be entirely useless.

Could it be meant for those divine monsters?

Han Yu was startled by his own thought. If the Dragon Blood Stone was for divine monsters, then wouldn’t they essentially be breeding divine monsters?

That sure would be a huge problem.

Because he had an even more outrageous speculation that might frighten the unseen figure from the Inspectorate.

From the time the Earth Spirit Corpse brought by Bai Bufen appeared with Ghost Path divine techniques, then to the divine techniques infused into Dead Ghost Mazhou’s body, and finally to the Ghost Path divine techniques of Qi Bai, all seemed to originate from the same source.

Moreover, Qi Bai’s confession before dying also mentioned that his divine techniques were implanted.

If divine techniques could be implanted, could they also be cultivated?

If so, not only could divine techniques be cultivated and grown, but they could also be implanted into cultivators.

Such a method isn’t just shocking, it’s almost overturning cultivators’ understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

It’s known that original divine techniques were bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, hence the term Innate Divine Techniques.

Even after bypassing the Heavenly Dao, acquired divine techniques require constant meditation and cultivation to gradually develop.

However, the methods of the Corpse Refining Lineage are terrifying, allowing divine techniques to grow powerful and then implanting them into cultivators in one fell swoop.

”Now, if there’s no way to deal with the monster, merely trapping it, even if the flesh can endure, the two souls and seven spirits can’t withstand long-term separation.”

The Great Elder knitted his brows tightly and sighed deeply.

You Li wasn’t just facing a monster possession; her own soul and spirit separation was equally fatal.

There simply wasn’t time to slowly devise a countermeasure. If the monster couldn’t be resolved quickly, the two souls and seven spirits couldn’t return.

And if they don’t return, within three days, due to the lack of nourishment from the body, they would dissipate and disappear.

Xia Wuyou was rather helpless; such a large Nanli Sword Studio was instead being manipulated by such a monster.

To kill this monster wouldn’t be difficult for them, but the next-in-line successor of the Sect is possessing,

”Perhaps using their own method might work.”

Han Yu suddenly had an idea, and the image of the Earth Palace appeared in his mind.

...

”You really think highly of me with such a sudden idea.”

When the group from the Self-Improvement Sect, including Bai Xiangdong, were courteously invited back to the Nanli Sword Studio, they finally learned the reason behind everything.

Even though his cousin cared about You Li’s safety, he couldn’t help but give Han Yu a big side-eye.

Nothing else, but finding them—specifically him—and opening the discussion with requesting him to replicate those pillars within the Earth Palace and the entire sacrificial altar.

Not to mention these aren’t within his expertise, just the number of runes on those pillars makes one’s scalp tingle just thinking about it!

Han Yu’s two words amounted to requiring a complete reproduction by him.

”Isn’t it because Ye Hei said you’re quite skilled at private works?”

With outsiders present, Han Yu didn’t say too much, but his cousin instantly understood.

Ye Hei, that bastard, had the nerve to spread rumors everywhere; his cousin cursed inwardly.

”If you can’t manage, You Li can only await death.”

Han Yu sighed helplessly; this was the only solution he could think of, replicating the Earth Palace’s method to suppress the monster, hoping maybe You Li could have a chance.

Xia Wuyou glanced at his cousin at this moment and said, ”Are you Mo Yushu’s son, Mo Xiuwen? I was an old acquaintance with your father.”

Great, this one thought he was unwilling to help.

In the Celestial Essence Nine Sects, apart from the Mo Family not getting along with the Unparalleled Tower, it’s as if everyone else isn’t an old acquaintance.

Just nine Pilots, seeing each other all the time.

His cousin hesitated for a moment and then spoke helplessly, ”To replicate those things from the Earth Palace can be done, but I can’t remember all those runes.”

The inside of that Earth Palace was filled with them; it could be said the array was made up of these runes.

Just making those things without runes to activate the array would be useless.

”Well... I think I remember the runes.”

Yi Xian spoke up softly.

The people of the Self-Improvement Sect immediately looked at him in surprise, and Yi Xian continued, somewhat embarrassed.

”Actually, the runes convey the same meaning, and the sequence is the same; remembering just one is enough.”

The old Taoist who adopted him was from the Divination Path, and having been exposed to related books, it was normal to recognize the runes.

For those who couldn’t understand, maybe the runes seemed obscure and unfathomable, like the celestial script, but to those who could recognize them, they were just sequences of ”Suppress” runes.

”Can you draw them?”

His cousin was somewhat skeptical.

As it turned out, Yi Xian thought for a moment and indeed squatted down to draw.

”It really looks like the real thing.”

His cousin peeked at it for a while and nodded.

”Will there be enough time?”

The Great Elder interjected, although he didn’t know about the Earth Palace’s layout, just listening to his cousin implied the array was quite large.

You Li only had three days, which were not just to suppress the monster but also to expel the monster and let the soul return.

So there wasn’t much time to set up the array.

”One day should be enough.”

His cousin thought it over and spoke solemnly.

”But how to lure the monster out—just the array won’t do.”

Thus, he looked towards Han Yu, wanting to know his plan.

”Then we’ll have to seek out Ou Mingdong and Ye Hei.”

Han Yu reviewed his speculations and said thusly.
