Chapter 193: Follow Your Instincts, There’s Definitely a Fortuitous Opportunity!
As time passed by minutes and seconds, Shen Tian’s face turned even redder while his body emitted extremely dense Qi Aura.
Finally, Shen Tian felt that it was time.
He gently gathered his sword aura and sliced his right wrist. Blood instantly splurged out and emitted the rich, pleasant scent of grass.
If there were demons in the surroundings, they might even mistake him for the flesh of Tripi?aka[1].
Since the Spirit Qi’s quality in Shen Tian’s blood was just too high-grade, even Supremacies and Perfected Ones would covet him.
Drops of fresh blood merged with the small red man.
Shen Tian activated the Blood God Sutra’s mystic technique, and his blood rapidly fused with the small red man.
Shortly after, the small red man turned larger so swiftly that it was hardly visible to the naked eye. The aura it emitted rapidly grew stronger as well.
The color of its body also started to resemble that of a normal person.
The originally palm-sized red became as large as a normal person, but he was naked.
The aura he emitted was extremely similar to Shen Tian, just that his strength was much weaker and there was no soul within.
“Amazing!”
Shen Tian stopped forcing out blood, and the injury on his right hand started healing at speed visible to the naked eye.
He looked quite pale and grimaced in pain.
In that short moment, he had probably lost a large basin of blood. Even if he had Nirvana Holy Liquid to replenish his blood, Shen Tian still felt dizzy, as if he was anemic. Thus, he gulped down another mouthful of Nirvana Holy Liquid and started circulating his cultivation technique to absorb it.
“Sigh... I really should not anyhow let out blood. Even if I have the Nirvana Holy Liquid, it cannot instantly replenish the lost blood!”
The Nirvana Holy Liquid did indeed have the miraculous effect of reviving the dead and growing meat from bone, but time was still needed for it to be absorbed and come into effect.
If Shen Tian had only let out a bit of blood to merge with the clone, then the Nirvana Holy Liquid could have swiftly replenished it. The problem was, it was Shen Tian’s first time. Thus, as inexperienced as he was, he carelessly let out too much.
According to Shen Tian’s estimation, he had to spend at least a few days absorbing the Nirvana Holy Liquid to replenish the lost blood.
That was to say—he still had to endure the feeling of being anemic for a few days.
Sigh... I really don’t want to!
The Blood God Sutra’s cultivation difficulty was the harshest amongst all the cultivation techniques.
He spent a few days in order to form a clone.
From Shen Tian’s point of view, this body possessed at most 50% of his true ability.
Suppose it had a portion of the extraordinary items’ powers, as well as equipment such as the Black Tortoise Shield, Black Tortoise Armor, or Purple Golden Hammer. In that case, it could barely kill a normal Golden Core Perfected One.
Of course, if Shen Tian wanted to make it stronger, he had to feed this body even more blood. Nonetheless, its limit was around 70% of the main body’s strength.
Naturally, the premise was that Shen Tian had to control it himself.
...
After pondering over it, Shen Tian started to cultivate the second mystic technique—Soul Technique.
Frankly speaking, Shen Tian was quite curious since it was a mystic art that enabled him to split a portion of his soul into the clone. Why was it named Great Soul Separation Technique and not Great Soul-Splitting Technique? Why was its abbreviation Soul Technique and not Separation Technique?
However, since the Blood God Sutra’s author had named it so, he would just call it like that!
Anyway, Soul Technique was indeed better sounding than Separation Technique.
Shen Tian originally thought that after splitting a portion of his soul, he would definitely have a splitting headache worse than death.
In the end, after he prepared his heart and gnashed his teeth to start trying this mystic art, he discovered that this mystic art was not painful at all.
It’s just... that his originally weak body from losing too much blood became even weaker from splitting a part of his soul.
Shen Tian forcibly endured the feeble feeling as his soul separated and that portion of the soul surged into the clone’s body.
The clone’s body started moving lightly as if it was endowed with life. It was an extremely miraculous feeling, like playing an online game.
Shen Tian could control that portion of the soul at will and thus control the clone.
According to the Dharmic formulation recorded in the Blood God Sutra, the clone shared its five senses with the main body.
That was to say, as long as the connection between the clone and main body was not cut off, then Shen Tian could see the clone’s line of sight anytime.
Meanwhile, once the connection was cut, the portion of soul within the clone would disperse, and the clone would become a body that could no longer move.
Such an experience was just too miraculous!
Although Shen Tian was extremely tired, he could not help but want to try out and play with the clone.
Of course, he had to put clothes on this clone.
Otherwise, if he saw a body that was exactly the same as his but naked, he would feel that it was extremely weird.
It’s not like it was a blow-up doll.
Shen Tian sized up the Blood God’s Son after taking White Dragon clothes made of brocade out of his Archeon Sea Ring and let it put on.
He could not help but exclaim, “Tsk, tsk! No.1, you’re really a handsome man.”
The Blood God’s Son in front of him curved up his lips and revealed a smile that could enchant Saintesses and Fairies. “You’re flattering me. It’s all because the main body’s genes are good. My handsomeness stems from you.”
Shen Tian shook his head and laughed bitterly. “Indeed, the clone would not lie.”
On top of the Hariti Rosary Beads, which were at the side, a female ghost in red clothes watched Shen Tian conversing with his clone from a distance.
She wanted to remind him, “There’s still someone—well, a ghost—looking!”
However... Master’s clone is really good-looking, especially with no clothes. Besides me, I don’t think other girls have seen Master’s body, right!?
Sssss~!
I’m getting excited just from thinking about it!
In an instant, the Hariti Rosary Beads trembled slightly.
...
Meanwhile, Shen Tian did not know what Jiu’er was thinking.
He did a simple test on controlling the Blood God’s Son and felt that it was quite interesting. Nevertheless, though it was quite fun, Shen Tian was simply too tired now. He had to have a good sleep.
Shen Tian activated a mystic art, and the portion of soul in the Blood God’s Son returned to him. After that, he stored the body in the Archeon Sea Ring.
The Archeon Sea Ring could not store living things, but after removing his soul, the clone’s body could be kept into the Archeon Sea Ring.
One had to say, the Blood God’s Son was really a great invention as it was equal to having a second body.
In the future, if Shen Tian reached the Nascent Soul stage, he would not even need to steal another’s body—he had a spare body himself.
Also, he would not have only one. He could have a few more spare bodies that could be used once he reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Wait! Why am I thinking of the possibility that my body might be destroyed?
What if they wipe out my Nascent Soul too? Wouldn’t it be completely over for me then?
Sssss, this idea is very dangerous!
Never mind. Forget it, that cannot happen. It’s better to keep a low profile and stay safe!
In the future, if there are dangerous places, I only need to let the Blood God’s Son go and take the risk.
Shen Tian secretly decided before taking a huge soft bed out of his Archeon Sea Ring.
While lying on the bed, he summoned back the Hariti Rosary Beads. As he fondled with the rosary bead, he counted sheep and quickly entered a deep sleep.
There was no choice—he had lost so much blood at once that his condition was extremely weak. Even with the Nirvana Holy Liquid to replenish it, he had to spend time to absorb the Nirvana Holy Liquid!
In the depths of the underground, Shen Tian entered deep sleep.
The rosary bead, which was placed on his chest, was originally black, but now it seemed to be slightly red.
...
It was unknown how long had passed when Shen Tian slowly awakened. He stretched out and felt that he was in peak condition. The blood he had lost was also replenished, and after the deep sleep, he was completely refreshed.
The Hariti Rosary Beads in his hands were slightly hot.
Shen Tian put away the rosary beads and asked, “Jiu’er, how long did I sleep?”
A soft whisper echoed from the Hariti Rosary Beads. “Master slept with Jiu— slept for three days and three nights.”
Sssss~!
Is it that exaggerated? I slept for three days and nights!? Shen Tian’s mouth twitched. Then that means I nearly missed the Primordial Battlefield joint training?
Frankly speaking, before obtaining the Blood God Sutra, he had been looking forward to not going.
However, now, no matter how dangerous the Primordial Battlefield was, it’s not as if he was going in himself.
With the chance to control the Blood God’s Son like controlling a game character to follow those blessed by providence to a dungeon, there was no reason not to follow and freeload their opportunities!
That’s right!
It’s just unknown if the Blood God’s Son was able to see the providence halo and fortuitous opportunity of those blessed by providence.
Hmm, let’s try it if I have the chance.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Tian put away the items in the cave and used his Divine Devouring Vine to activate the Ground Burrowing Skill to return above the ground.
He took the Lotus Shooting Gun out of his Archeon Sea Ring, and after a simple calculation of direction, Shen Tian used his divine consciousness to activate Gun Kinesis Flight.
In an instant, he dashed forward by 900 miles straight, then...
He lost his way.
Who knew how other cultivators guaranteed that their direction was accurate without mistake when using Sword Kinesis Flight!?
Shen Tian had already tried his best to follow the direction marked on the map, but he still felt that mountains were all around him, while trees and stones were everywhere. They looked exactly the same without any reference object, so how was it possible for him to differentiate the direction!
At that moment, Shen Tian’s Saint Token started vibrating gently.
Shen Tian went wild with joy and hurriedly activated the Saint Token’s array formation to communicate with the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
A figure that was enshrouded by lightning and heavenly aura appeared before Shen Tian. It was the Sacred Leader.
He looked at Shen Tian, his heavenly aura swaying.
“Tian’er, you make me proud.”
“I heard that you saved a city of mortals in the territory under the Big Dipper Sacred Ground, and you even made the Big Dipper Saint lose face.
“Very good. This has already entered Yunfeng’s ears, so I sent him to spread it to other sects.
“You’ve done well. We, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, should have the heart to care for all beings!
“You don’t need to care about pressure from the Big Dipper Sacred Ground. I’ll shoulder it for you.
“Remember, the sacred ground will always be on your side!”
Shen Tian could not help but be stunned.
OMG!
In just a few days, the things that happened in Black Mountain City had already been spread to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?
Is it possible that Chen Zhongtian has died from being enraged?
So, the reason for his death, the calamity Black Mountain City faced, was then instantly spread everywhere?
No, it shouldn’t be. Or else, Master would not have said I had made Chen Zhongtian lose face.
Instead, he would have said—Master is proud of you for enraging the Big Dipper Saint to his death.
I think it’s purely because Li Yunfeng this, bast— his speed for gossip is just superhuman!
One had to say that Li Yunfeng was indeed talented—he was able to pay attention to gossip of a far-off land!
No wonder he dared to say that he was Divine Firmament’s Know-It-All and that he knew half of the things happening in Eastern Wilderness.
However, the most important thing was to return, so Shen Tian had no other choice but to say, “Master, I seem to have lost my way. Has the Primordial Battlefield joint training between our sacred ground and Jade Lake Sacred Ground begun?
Lost his way?
The Sacred Leader was slightly stunned, then his lightning and heavenly aura started fluctuating.
His firm voice echoed from his heavenly aura.
“It’s okay!
“Tian’er, you’re the Son of Providence, and you’re naturally blessed with great providence. There’s no need to hurry if you’re lost!
“Don’t trust in something like a map, just follow your instincts.
“I believe that you can definitely find the correct way or even encounter a fortuitous opportunity!
“There’s no hurry for the Primordial Battlefield joint training. I’ll make them wait for you!
“If you really encounter any fortuitous opportunity, then directly contact me using your Saint Token.
“I’ll immediately open the spatial door for you to return, anytime!”
After finishing, the Sacred Leader’s figure gradually disappeared, leaving Shen Tian stare at his Saint Token. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
Follow my instincts? There’s definitely a fortuitous opportunity waiting for me?
Master, are you serious?
I’m...
Really not the Son of Providence!
