Chapter 762 670: Baili Xi's Calculations, the Second Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill is a Success

From the moment Baili Xi found the Bloodline Sacrifice Array, his primary goal was never to repair it. His true targets were the Supreme Elders.

This was especially true for the Supreme Elders whose lifespans were nearing their end. Within the Taiyu Divine Continent, it was already exceedingly difficult for them to advance their Martial Arts Cultivation. Naturally, they all wanted to leave the continent and had already tried many methods to do so.

They had tried searching for existing Cross-Realm Teleportation Arrays and even attempting to build new ones, but none of their efforts had succeeded.

Naturally, he had his eye on these people.

Although his status in the Merak Sacred Land was high, the very fact that he was the Merak Saint Master's son made it far more difficult for him to become the next Saint Master than for anyone else.

Many in the Merak Sacred Land opposed the idea of a son inheriting the Saint Master's position from his father. Consequently, he had been targeted frequently, and this opposition only grew more blatant as his chances of succeeding the throne increased.

His recent forced seclusion in the Saint Son Pavilion was a direct result of this.

It was the result of a joint effort against him by the Merak Saintess and several Supreme Elders, which was precisely why he wanted to change the situation.

And the Bloodline Sacrifice Array was his way of breaking the deadlock.

As it turned out, his idea was correct. Leveraging what he had gained from the Alien Races, he achieved his goal as expected.

After he approached the Supreme Elders, they all began to pin their hopes on the Bloodline Sacrifice Array. As such, the prospect of repairing the array was actually a good thing for Baili Xi.

He was the only one who supported repairing the Bloodline Sacrifice Array. Because of this, most of the Supreme Elders nearing the end of their lifespans would now lean toward him in the contest for the next Merak Saint Master. In turn, this would alleviate the pressure of being targeted by so many opponents.

Thus, the current situation was actually something Baili Xi was quite pleased to see.

However, Baili Xi didn't let his satisfaction show. He even deflected the conflict onto Quasi-Saint Son Gongye Zhe.

After all, Gongye Zhe was the one who had jumped out at this critical moment. If he wasn't the target, who would be?

He would have preferred it if the Merak Saintess had stepped forward herself. If she had, she would have placed herself in direct opposition to the elders who were desperate to leave the Taiyu Divine Continent. For Baili Xi, that would have been even better news.

Unfortunately, while the Merak Saintess's faction had made some moves, they weren't obvious. Only Gongye Zhe seemed to be acting rashly.

He didn't particularly want to deal with this buffoon, but since he had anger to vent, he needed an outlet. Gongye Zhe was an excellent choice.

He deliberately said all this in front of the Array Masters for a specific reason: each of them was backed by a Supreme Elder.

The Supreme Elders had specifically cultivated these Array Masters back when they were searching for and trying to build Cross-Realm Teleportation Arrays. Therefore, these Array Masters were their men.

By mentioning it to these men now, his words would naturally reach the ears of the Supreme Elders. He wouldn't even have to lift a finger for things to proceed just as he wished.

In this whole affair, he was merely playing the role of a facilitator, not an opponent to the Supreme Elders.

As for those who opposed repairing the array, most of them were already against him anyway. The fact that they disagreed with him on repairing the Bloodline Sacrifice Array was completely inconsequential.

They were already his opponents, and this incident wouldn't change their stance. Thus, his chosen course of action came at no real loss to him. On the contrary, he had gained some allies!

"Rest assured, I won't give up on this. I will do everything in my power to push it forward!"

"The starry sky is the true path for a Martial Artist! Those true Cultivation Worlds are where our future lies!"

"And all of you can use this incomplete Bloodline Sacrifice Array to achieve a breakthrough in your skill with arrays and advance even further!"

The Merak Saint Son, Baili Xi, declared with a look of conviction, his voice firm and resolute.

Even now, he continued to give these people hope.

"Lord Saint Son, we believe in you!"

Array Master Luo Hongguang was the first to speak.

He was one of the Merak Saint Son's men, so his stance was clear and unwavering.

Besides, he wanted to continue studying the incomplete Bloodline Sacrifice Array. He had already gained considerable knowledge of arrays from it, and his abilities had improved.

Given more time, he might even have a chance to repair the incomplete Bloodline Sacrifice Array.

After Luo Hongguang spoke, the other Array Masters also declared their support.

Who knew when they would next find such a perfect array to study? For them, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so they had no intention of giving it up.

Just as a Martial Arts Expert wishes to advance further on the path of Martial Arts, so too did these Array Masters. They all wanted to improve their skills with arrays, glimpse the path of an Array Grandmaster, and one day deploy a legendary Divine Level Array.

Hearing these voices of support, Baili Xi was overjoyed. It meant his plan had taken another step forward.

'Once I unite with the Supreme Elders backing these men,' he thought, 'that will be true success!'

「Yuanqing Courtyard.」

In the Alchemy Room.

Princess Lan Yue watched the Pill Furnace in front of Yang Chan. He was once again attempting to refine a Second Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixir: the Qingli Nourishing Marrow Pill.

She had watched him attempt the refining process before, but every attempt had ended in failure. This was the elixir she had seen him fail to refine the most.

Her master, a Top Level Pharmacist, had once told her that with Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixirs, each successive level created a vast gulf in skill that few could cross. For this reason, the difference in ability even among Advanced Pharmacists could be enormous—an almost insurmountable gap.
