2426 The Young Man With Blood-red Eyes

Great Overarching Bodiless Celestials or those who were stronger in the Devata Realms would risk getting affected by secular karma if they entered mundane realms. If they were contaminated with secular karma, it would affect their cultivation base. Worst case scenario, their cultivation base would stop progressing completely. For this reason, regardless of how much these powerhouses care about their descendants in the mundane realms, they would not recklessly return to the mundane realms.

They could only help by leaving behind inheritances, legacies, Celestial Supreme Treasures or Divine Abilities from Devata Realms to help their descendants. Since they could not descend to the mundane realms, they would usually send those whose cultivation base had stagnated due to their innate talent to the mundane realms to leave these treasures there. Since these people's cultivation base had already stagnated, it made no difference to them even if they were infected by secular karma. After all, it was beneficial for them to work for those strong powerhouses in the Devata Realm.

For example, the Legacy Blood Pool was personally created by someone powerful from a strong faction in a Devata Realm. However, due to his inability to descend to the mundane realms, he had sent someone to place it in the mundane realm.

The Legacy Blood Pool was protected by many Formations, even the strongest existence in mundane realms such as Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials would not be able to destroy the Formation. One could only get close to the Legacy Blood Pool if one had fate with it. Little Gold was certainly such a person. She had sensed the call from the Legacy Blood Pool and somehow knew how to side-step the Formations that protected the Legacy Blood Pool. Thanks to her, Little Black and Little White who under normal circumstances would not be able to get near the lake also managed to reap benefits from the lake.

In fact, the Legacy Blood Pool was nothing to the person who created it. He had created many treasures such as the Legacy Blood Pool and could always create more. After creating them, he would send his underling to place them in various mundane realms, waiting for the people who had fate with it.

In the case of the Legacy Blood Pool, Little Gold who was a rodent was, naturally, fated with it.

…

"Let's go! Let's go to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!"

When Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White learned that the Devil Clans had invaded the Upper Province, they became anxious. They could not help but worry about Duan Ling Tian and Han Xue Nai.

While they were traveling, they began to speak about Su Li.

"I wonder if Su Li really ascended to a Devata Realm? If he was in his Qi-deviated state, it's likely that he has ascended!"

"You're right. Unless he managed to stay in control, it's likely that he has ascended!"

"I agree."

Three of them were in agreement that Su Li had ascended to a Devata Realm. They would never expect that not only did Su Li not ascend to a Devata Realm, but he did not even get to immerse himself in the Legacy Blood Pool!

Since the Legacy Blood Pool was left behind a rodent-type Divine Beast, Su Li who was a human was instantly ejected from the lake as soon as he entered it. The Divine Beast had intended this to happen since his faction would only accept Divine Beasts, not humans.

Back then, after Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold had entered the Legacy Blood Pool and went into closed-door cultivation, Su Li had jumped into the lake as well. However, as soon as he jumped in, he was instantly sent out by Formation in the lake that would only send humans out.

At this moment, no one knew Su Li's current whereabouts except for Su Li himself.

…

When Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White finally arrived in the Upper Province, they were still chatting among themselves.

"According to the rules in the mundane realms, cultivators, including Bodiless Celestials, would have to undergo the Heaven Tribulation before they can ascend to a Devata Realm. Not only did we become stronger than Eminent Celestials without undergoing the Celestial Ascension Tribulation, but we can even directly ascend to the Devata Realm if we want to. What's going on exactly?" Little Gold muttered.

Generally, cultivators at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would attract the Heavenly Tribulation at some point before they were able to become Eminent Celestials and ascend to a Devata Realm. On the other hand, Bodiless Celestials who had failed the Celestial Ascension Tribulation would have to undergo ten Bodiless Celestial Tribulations before they would be able to ascend to a Devata Realm. However, Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White seemed to have bypassed all of that and could directly ascend to a Devata Realm now.

"I'm really curious as well," Little White said in confusion.

Although Little Black remained silent, his expression showed that he felt the same way as Little Gold and Little White.

They were, naturally, unaware that the reason three of them did not have to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation was due to the Legacy Blood Pool shielding and hiding them from the Heavenly Laws while they were cultivating.

Most cultivators would have to undergo the Celestial Ascension Tribulation in order to become Eminent Celestials due to the Heavenly Laws. However, forces from Devata Realms were able to help someone hide from the Heavenly Laws to a certain extent. These people were rare and special cases since they were able to secretly ascend to a Devata Realm without going through the Heavenly Tribulation. In fact, Duan Ling Tian's wife, Ke'er, was in a similar situation like Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White.

Ever since Ke'er had used that painful and difficult method to regain her memories from her past life, her strength had improved by leaps and bounds. During that process, her cultivation base had rapidly passed the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, but she did not attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. Since she was hidden from the Heavenly Laws, she, naturally, did not have to undergo the tribulation.

...

After arriving in the Upper Province, Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White decided to head to the northern region. Along the way, they met numerous devils from the Devil Clans but none of the devils had cultivation bases above the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

To Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White, these devils were as easy to slaughter as chickens. In fact, they could kill these devils with just a flick of their fingers.

While Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White made their way to the northern region where the Seven Absolutes Sect's temporary estate, an uninvited guest had made his way to the valley located among the ice mountains.

Whoosh!

Although the uninvited guest was stealthy, he still alerted those who dwelled in the valley of the ice mountains.

Those people who dwelled in the valley were none other than the Old Prophet from the Seven Absolutes Sect, Duan Si Ling, Gan Ru Yan, and Qing Huo.

"Who's there?!" Qing Huo asked.

The uninvited guest was a handsome young man. His robe was drenched in blood. It was quite obvious that the blood was fresh!

Since Qing Huo was the strongest among them, he stepped forward and solemnly said, "Sir, this is private property, please leave!"

Upon hearing that, the young man with blood-red eyes who was shrouded in Devil Qi turned to look at Qing Huo coldly.

Qing Huo felt chills running up his spine when he saw the look in the young man's eyes.

Boom!

A violent and powerful energy surged from the young man's body and shrouded Qing Huo in just an instant.

Qing Huo began to tremble violently as the ice beneath his feet began to crack and spread. It did not take long before he vomited blood.

Gan Ru Yan's face paled when she saw the blood that splattered on the ground. The blood created a stark contrast when it splattered on the snow-white ground. She cried out, "Master!"

The Old Prophet's expression turned grim. He did not expect this young man to be so powerful. Just his energy alone was able to injure Qing Huo who was the strongest among them to this extent.

"S-seeking… death..." The young man said in a stilted manner as he stared at Qing Huo.
