Eternal Life Chapter 42

Blood Pellet

Absorbing their spiritual blood? Refining the ten ‘Flying Yasha’ into ‘Shura’? Using this method? If this can occur, then perhaps I would be able to walk horizontally?

Fang Han’s heart began to beat faster.

Faced with the army rus.h.i.+ng towards him, he had originally become peaceful, focusing on the upcoming fight to elevate his spirit to a ‘deliverer of life and death’ realm. However, Yan’s thoughts had shocked him awake.

Within the ‘Picture of the Hidden Yellow Dragon Spring’, there were ten ‘Flying Yasha’, the corpse of the ‘Pink Prince’, a magic outfit made of blood-cotton, a ‘Spirit Wind’ sword, ‘Silver Snake’ sword, ‘Pink Wishes’ sword, and the four flying swords of the other four outer court disciples. In total, there were seven flying swords. These things couldn’t be used right now; not even a little bit of their existence could be leaked out. Otherwise, another calamity wouldn’t be far away.

Of course, Devil School techniques are all based on plundering, devouring others’ souls to enhance one’s own. After devouring the ‘Sky Rooster Yang Rope’, I can currently use some magic techniques. I can currently use the ‘Yellow Spring School’s great blood refinement technique. Borrowing the ‘Yellow River’s holy water ability to purify souls, I can take the souls of the things you kill and refine them into a great nouris.h.i.+ng pure Blood Pellet. Condensing their spirits and feeding it to the ‘Flying Yasha’ will greatly increase the speed at which the ‘Flying Yasha’ will turn into ‘Shura’. One ‘Shura’, although unable to use magic techniques, it has the power of thirteen horses. Tyrannical power, enough to draw ‘Divine Realm’ pract.i.tioners with just their flesh. If you are able to completely kill this Demon and Devil army and refine their souls into blood pellets, then we would be able to birth four to five ‘Shura’.

Yan’s sound clearly seemed to be rather happy.

Stealing their souls, the great refining blood technique, and refining souls into blood pellets. This is the true Devil Path marveled Fang Han.

The hún, the soul which was a person’s spirit.

The pò, the soul which was a person’s blood.

[TL: So what the author has done here is split the characters which form the word soul into two. They both still have the meaning of soul, but the author here has given them separate meanings. The first part, hún, is the spirit, and the second part, pò, is the blood]

Regardless of whatever happens after death, qi and blood dissipate, the spirit scattering with the wind. Because the spirit is yin and qi and blood are yang, the body is yin and yang in balance. If one side is lost, then one will immediately die.

The cultivation means of the Devil Path generally relied on killing creatures to refine nouris.h.i.+ng spirit pellets and then eat them, enhancing their body and spirit.

It was like refining a good sword. If one used live humans, children, tigers, spiritual snakes, or other living creatures as sacrifices like using good wood for the furnace, then the resulting pellet would be like a good sword.

As for the Immortal Path, they used spiritless vegetation and spiritual rocks. They refined these to nourish their flesh, and then relied on the power of their own flesh to break into the ‘Divine Realm’. This was one of the main differences between the two paths.

However, preying on the souls of other creatures to enhance the body and spirit did have some drawbacks, as no matter what creature one killed and refined into a pellet, there would always be a little bit of impure, branded spirit left. If one took too much, these small bits of impure, branded soul would invade their mind, disturbing their spirit, and causing them to become insane devils.

The Immortal Path’s cultivation style was firm and st.u.r.dy. Although they trained slowly, they had no risk of going insane. Meanwhile, the Devil Path’s cultivation style was fast and dangerous. They trained quickly but had chances of going insane. Out of one thousand Devil Path cultivators, pretty much nine hundred and ninety of them would die.

However, Yan said that if one uses holy water to purify during the blood pellet refining process, then it is possible to completely get rid of the residual spirit brands in the blood, resulting in a pure blood pellet.

The ‘Yellow Spring River’s water has cleansing blood properties. This is also why it can unbind flying swords.

There is a folk legend that upon drinking the water of the ‘Yellow Spring River’, one can forget all of the past and start anew.

This temptation was simply too much for Fang Han, luring him towards the Devil Path.

After all, the cultivation was faster and for him, there was no risk.

Okay, you do as you have planned! Anyway, once we have refined blood pellets we are feeding them to the ‘Flying Yasha’ first as a test Fang Han licked his lips as he calmly eyed the gradually approaching army.

There is no reason for testing. In the past, when the Yellow Spring Emperor controlled the holy water of the ‘Yellow Spring River’, I have no clue how many creatures were killed and refined into pure blood pellets by the ‘Yellow Spring School’ and given to disciples to use so that they could push their flesh to the limits. There are absolutely no bad effects! I see you have some psychological barriers and are hesitant to step onto the Devil’s Path, might as well! Wait until I have refined the first pure blood pellet, and then see how your heart moves. Your current strength is only around the strength of five horses. Once you have entered the ‘G.o.dly Transformation’ level, you will have the strength of eight horses, only three levels higher than ordinary ‘G.o.dly Transformation’ level cultivators. You will need to continuously strengthen your flesh, qi, and blood, and continuously refine spiritual blood into spirit and provide it to the mind to nourish it. Only then can you enter the ‘Divine Realm’! At that time, ordinary supplements don’t have any use. Only by using pure blood pellets can you strengthen your flesh enough to reach enlightenment. Do you know how strong your flesh needs to be in order to enter the ‘Divine Realm’? You need to be at least as strong as ten horses!

Yan’s voice was once again heard by Fang Han, tempting him further to enter the Devil Path.

Let’s not care about Immortal Path versus Devil Path, and focus on surviving first.

Fang Han truly had no time to contemplate what Yan had said, as above him, Fang Qing Xue was billowing with purple electricity due to her a.s.sault on the altar. Down below, this killed a group of evil, fierce ‘Yasha’, a full twenty to thirty of them. In but a moment, they had been culled.

“Starry night!”

Below, Fang Han’s foot stomped down, using the movements of the ‘Stepping on Seven Stars’ technique. The magic sword in his hand glowed with light as it pierced through the eyes of two ‘Yasha’.

‘Pu’chi, Pu’chi’! The magic sword burst with strong current, killing the ‘Yasha’ before they could even struggle and take their final breaths.

The magic sword which had been re-refined by Fang Qing Xue was not only sharper than before by several times causing to be more lethal, but had also been imbued with the powers of ‘Purple Yin Lightning’. After cutting into a ‘Yasha’, they would become paralyzed and unable to move, adding further to Fang Han’s power.

‘Wu wu wu, wu wu wu’.

At this point, Fang Han suddenly felt the ‘Picture of the Hidden Yellow Dragon Spring’ on his body move. Inside, a strand of yellow light, like a strand of spider silk, came out and wrapped around the body of the magic sword, plunging into the bodies of the dead ‘Yasha’. Immediately, in the blink of an eye, the two ‘Yasha’s spiritual blood, bone marrow, etc., were sucked into the yellow spring picture.

Fang Han picked out the as entered the yellow spring picture’s holy ‘Yellow Spring River’. He found that as soon as it came out from the river, the river had become the red color of fresh blood. Afterwards, Yan floated on top of the river, singing, as the fresh blood of the ‘Yasha’ suddenly condensed into a pellet about the size of a walnut.

This blood pellet, completely pure and like blood jade stone, was the best food for cultivators.

Cultivators, upon training to the ‘G.o.dly Transformation’ level, could only fill their belly by eating whole grain mixtures and worldly cooked food.  If one ate worldly cooked food for too long, then they would acc.u.mulate impurities in their flesh, causing them to age faster and become unable to inch forward, but backwards.

The food consumed by cultivators were generally refined pellets or the spiritual rice offered by schools of the Immortal Path, such as that offered by the Yu’hua School’s ‘Jade Mess Hall’.

However, the ‘Jade Mess Hall’s food only had no impurities, keeping their bodies clean. It couldn’t enhance and nourish one’s cultivation, bones, muscles, or push the body’s limits.

The true disciples all wouldn’t go to the ‘Jade Mess Hall’ to eat, and would just consume pellets in their own peaks instead, tempering themselves and adding to their qi.

Inner court disciples who had good relations.h.i.+ps would all reside with true disciples in their peaks, begging for pellets. The cultivators within the top ten of the ‘Shan’he Rankings’ would all receive ‘King Grain Spiritual Pellet’s every month.

‘Yasha’ spiritual blood is very thick, and is equivalent to that of ten fierce tigers. Usually, only after killing seventy two tigers will one form a blood pellet. Fang Han, if you swallowed this blood pellet, you would be able to not eat and drink for three days, your body becoming more energetic, your inner muscles and membranes becoming tougher. If you use blood pellets for a long time, your cultivation, within a month, will breakthrough into the ‘Divine Realm’. Unfortunately, I have no flesh body, and can only absorb the energy possessed by pure yang magic treasures to nourish and grow. I cannot use any pellets.

Yan sighed.

Honestly, Fang Han had already become oblivious of everything that Yan had said. His entire spirit had already entered fighting mode as a full fifty ‘Yasha’ surrounded him.

Sweeping once with his magic sword, the ‘Yasha’s steel forks were all broken in half like tofu. The purple electricity, conducted through the steel forks, paralyzed all of the ‘Yasha’ on the spot!

Fang Han slashed right and left, two strikes cutting two ‘Yasha’ in half.

Although ‘Yasha’ scales were very hard, it wasn’t surprising due to the current sharpness of the magic sword.

‘Zi zi, zi zi!’

Copious amounts of spiritual blood flooded into the yellow spring picture, successfully condensing into another blood pellet.

‘Wu wu, wu wu wu!’ A taller ‘Yasha’, like a small head, appeared in front of Fang Han’s eyes. Shaking the steel fork within its hands, it surprisingly used it like a spear, and fiercely threw it. The small ‘Yasha’ waited until Fang Han dodged it and then cracked its teeth together, like issuing an order. It struck out towards Fang Han’s chest with its palms. Surprisingly, they had some military technique.

“Heng! It is but only around the strength of four horses! How can it possibly harm me?”
Fang Han immersed in his spirit, eyes flas.h.i.+ng, and was instantly able to gain insight into the plan and condition of this small ‘Yasha’.

Usual ‘Yasha’ are around the strength of three horses. This ‘Yasha’ seemed to have taken some sort of spiritual pellet, causing its strength to be much higher than other ‘Yasha’. However, the current Fang Han, due to the ‘Golden Nine Aperture Pellet’, had the strength of a normal ‘G.o.dly Transformation’ cultivator!

[TL: Which is five horses. This author likes measuring stuff in horsepower]

‘Pu’chi’!

The latecomer died first, the sword piercing into the ‘Yasha’s palm and causing the ‘Yasha’ to become paralyzed due to the purple electricity. Its spiritual blood was draw into the picture.

Because the absorption of spiritual blood by the picture was very subtle and there was a conflict going on, no one noticed it.

After killing this small ‘Yasha’, Fang Han was able to take time to look at the ‘Demon G.o.d’s Altar’ in the distance. He saw that Fang Qing Xue was already approaching the altar, qi knives crisscrossing, Yin Thunder continuously exploding, purple electricity flowing through the air. ‘Sky Wolf Little Master’, ‘Pure Fox She-Devil’, and the others all became wrapped up by it.

As for the ‘Shura’ general, it shook its two wings and escaped the sphere, flying like an arrow into the sky above the army.

Fang Han only felt the ‘Shura’ general’s face turn towards him, its blood-red eyes looking down at him from above, condescendingly, and become nailed on him, as if it was about to attack at any time. It caused Fang Han to feel as if he was about to be crushed into powder.

c.r.a.p, relying on the purple electricity imbued in the magic sword I am not afraid of being surrounded by ‘Yasha’, but if this ‘Shura’ general comes, then what? Will I actually have to take out my flying sword?
Fang Han thought in his heart.

“You all back off and defend the altar!”
At this time, the ‘Shura’ general in the skype spoke, and the army surrounding Fang Han dispersed like flowing water, leaving behind corpses.

The ‘Shura’ general flew down, landing on the ground, only a few hundred steps away from Fang Han.

“Human! What is your name?” asked the ‘Shura’ general.
