Chapter 2270: Blood Qi and Strength
Zhao Hai followed the old elephant for three days. In these three days, both had already covered tens of thousands of kilometers. If other cultivators underwent the same journey, they would already met a Teleportation Stage crazed elephant.
But since Zhao Hai has a divergent ability, the crazed elephants were unable to detect him. This allowed Zhao Hai to follow behind the old elephant.
Naturally, one of the reasons why Zhao Hai wasn’t discovered was that the groups of crazed elephants he met weren’t very large. Moreover, the old elephant seemed to know a path to avoid the other elephant groups. They only met a few groups that the old elephant couldn’t avoid. The speed of the elephant doesn’t look fast, but its real speed wasn’t slow at all. Covering around ten thousand kilometers in three days couldn’t be described as slow.
When the sun of the third day set, Zhao Hai discovered a hill with a cave in front of him. The cave entrance wasn’t very big at around ten meters high and five meters wide. It doesn’t look special.
However, Zhao Hai had some thoughts about the cave. He could feel a powerful aura coming out of the entrance. Although the aura wasn’t deliberately controlled, it was still quite powerful.
The aura coming from the cave had the feeling of qi and blood. The aura of qi and blood shot straight to the sky. It seemed like the heavens were going to change color because of it.
At this moment, the old elephant stopped. Then Zhao Hai felt a spiritual force reaching towards him. The spiritual force wasn’t very strong. It was the same thing when the old white ape reached out to Zhao Hai to communicate.
Zhao Hai stared, he immediately understood the old elephant’s intention. Zhao Hai immediately connected with the spiritual force to communicate with the old elephant.
“Young Man, come out. You’ve been following me all this time, isn’t it because you want to find this place? Now that we’re here, why are you still hiding?” An aged voice sounded in Zhao Hai’s head.
Zhao Hai stared, then he moved and appeared before the old elephant. Then he gave a bow and said, “I have seen the Elder. I only followed you because I’m curious. I heard that when elephants are about to die, they will go to a mysterious place. I’m merely curious and have no intentions of stealing the bones of the Crazed Elephant Clan. Elder, please don’t misunderstand.”
The old elephant looked at Zhao Hai and coldly snorted, “If you are just curious, why would you follow me all this time? Do you really think that I don’t have the strength to deal with you now that I’m dying? How can a Soul Fusion stage human like you understand the strength of my Crazed Elephant Clan?”
Zhao Hai quickly replied, “Elder, if you believe me, I can invite you to a place that can restore your health. Although Elder might leave the True Spirit Realm, I can guarantee that you will not die.”
The old elephant’s cloudy eyes looked at Zhao Hai, he looked at him for a long time before he said, “I forgot to tell you, I am a Condensing Spirit Stage Crazed Elephant. I don’t know how many years I’ve lived. I have seen countless humans. All of them are greedy and want everything in their sights. And they all want to find this place. But I don’t see that greed in you. Maybe you hide it well, but I no longer care. I want to believe one last time.”
“I will go with you. But if you dare lie to me, no matter where you bring me to, I will tear through space and come back here. Then you will face the wrath of the entire Crazed Elephant Clan. Young Man, do you still want me to go with you?”
Hearing the old elephant, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Senior, please.” Then he waved his hand, opening a spatial rift beside him. Zhao Hai wasn’t worried that the spatial rift would be discovered. The aura released by the elephant graveyard was so thick that it hid all signs of a spatial rift being opened.
The old elephant glanced at the spatial rift that Zhao Hai opened and slowly walked towards it. The spatial rift promptly closed when Zhao Hai followed the old elephant in. At this time, Zhao Hai heard a prompt, “Hostile being detected by the Space. Pacifying target. Pacifying success. Elephant-type being detected. Genes have evolved almost perfectly. Extracting genes and fusing it to all elephant-type beings in the Space. Fuse success. Elephant being detected to have very weak life force. Asking the host if he allows the being to die.”
Zhao Hai immediately said, “Don’t agree. Don’t make him die.”
The prompt immediately replied, “Denial confirmed. Elephant being will die when the host decides.” Then there were no longer any sounds. Zhao Hai looked at the crazed elephant and said, “Senior, I didn’t lie.”
The old elephant looked at Zhao Hai and sighed, “Thanks, Young Master. Also, your strength is still very low. You can cultivate in the Sacred Elephant Mountain. If you absorb the mountain’s blood qi, you will gain the power of the Sacred Elephant. Your strength will soar through the sky.”
Hearing the old elephant, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare. He looked at the old elephant and said, “You want me to practice on the mountain? Isn’t that considered as destroying the mountain?”
The old elephant shook his head and said, “It’s not destroying. Sacred Elephant Mountain contains a large amount of blood qi. This blood qi itself is a treasure. It hasn’t been discovered yet. But if it was revealed, numerous races will come over along with their powerful experts to absorb this blood qi. If that happens, the Crazed Elephant Clan will face destruction. Our clan cannot withstand an attack from all the races in the realm.” 𝖗𝘢ＮＯΒĚ𝙨
“On the other hand, with Young Master’s physical condition, you can absorb the blood qi. Once the blood qi is absorbed, nobody will pay attention to Sacred Elephant Mountain, and the Crazed Elephant Clan will be safe. It would take the clan a long time to accumulate such an amount of blood qi once more. If Young Master absorbs the blood qi, you will be helping the Crazed Elephant Clan.”
Zhao Hai stared, he looked at the old elephant and said, “Is that true? But why don’t the Crazed Elephant Clan absorb the blood qi and allow it to accumulate here?”
The old elephant sighed and said, “Few elephants know about this place. We only come here through our bloodline when we are about to die. Other times, we don’t come here. The blood qi can attract other races, but not the Crazed Elephant Clan.”
Although Zhao Hai was confused, he also knew that the old elephant wouldn’t deceive him. Therefore, he nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll return to the mountain to cultivate. But are you really sure that I can absorb the blood qi?”
The old elephant nodded and said, “Absorb as much as you can. If it were other people, their bodies would explode if they absorbed the blood qi. But the Young Master’s body can take it.”
Zhao Hai nodded, then he waved his hand and sent the old elephant to where the other elephant races in the Space reside. Then his body appeared in Sacred Elephant Mountain.
Zhao Hai didn’t enter the mountain immediately. Instead, he stood outside and studied the entrance. There was nothing special to the cave ahead. However, Zhao Hai’s spiritual force cannot scan the cave. This was because the blood qi in the cave was very thick. It completely flooded the space, blocking any spiritual force coming through.
Zhao Hai slowly walked towards the cave. When he entered, he couldn’t help but stare. In the distance was a large number of white bones. These bones were clear as jade and were as beautiful as ivory.
There were white bones everywhere, all completely preserved. Zhao Hai could feel the blood qi emanating from all the bones. Zhao Hai was certain that if he took these bones and refined them, the result would be a high-grade artifact. Moreover, the strength of the artifact wouldn’t be small. In other words, Zhao Hai was standing in a literal treasure trove right now.
However, Zhao Hai has no plans on moving the bones. Although the bones were good material, they weren’t attractive to Zhao Hai. This was because the Space has same-level materials. If he wanted to make a weapon out of bones, he has plenty to use.
Zhao Hai found a place to sit and began to circulate his spiritual qi slowly. Zhao Hai also added his spiritual force to his spiritual qi. He wanted to see what kind of changes his body would have.
Using his spiritual force, Zhao Hai felt a powerful strength enter his body. Zhao Hai felt his body expanding like a balloon. Moreover, it wasn’t being blown slowly, it was expanding rapidly.
Zhao Hai now understood the old elephant’s words. If an average cultivator, even a Diamond Body Stage cultivator, were to absorb the blood qi in the mountain, they would immediately be filled up and more. The final result would be their body exploding.
However, Zhao Hai’s body was different. After gaining multiple divergent abilities, Zhao Hai’s cells have evolved. Each cell could crystallize, not only increasing their defensive abilities, but also increasing their capacity to store energy. This scale wasn’t merely tenfold, it was a hundred or even a thousandfold increase.
Zhao Hai immediately controlled his body to absorb the incoming blood qi. The blood qi rushed violently into Zhao Hai’s body. Despite this, Zhao Hai’s cells were able to absorb them in a stable manner.
Zhao Hai could feel that his cells were becoming full. Each cell was brimming with strength. As more and more energy was being absorbed into the cells, Zhao Hai’s spiritual qi and spiritual force rapidly increased. However, this increase wasn’t dangerous to Zhao Hai. On the contrary, his strength was increasing at a crazy speed!
