Chapter 2304 After a Long Time
Alex sat before the large cauldron full of blood, taking in deep breaths to prepare before he started. He understood how much it was going to hurt him to do what he was going to do. He only wished it wasn't as bad as the last time he had done something like this.
The last time he had cultivated with blood from beasts' entire cultivation realms above him was back in the White Tiger's Palace when Bai Jingshen and his wives gave him blood to absorb. Alex still couldn't believe that part of the blood he absorbed at that time was Divine grade. However, he didn't doubt that Bai Jingshen should have only given him a few drops at best. He had only been in the Saint Foundation realm back then after all.
'This shouldn't be that much more painful then,' he thought. Even if it was, he would have to suck it through.
After finding a spot in the mountain where he could be alone, Alex brought out a small vial and placed some of the blood inside of it. The rest of it, he was going to absorb it all.
Alex felt weird right now, sitting down to absorb this blood and cultivate on it. How long had it been since he had done something like this? Ever since the Blood God's Manual stopped working for some mysterious reason, he had practically forgotten about Blood Cultivation. Not to mention finding beasts that were willing to give him their blood wasn't so easy to come by.
And killing them was obviously no longer a choice considering most of them were very intelligent.
He could have asked for blood claiming it had something to do with Alchemy, but he didn't have the time to do something like that while he was on his own. And for the last 60 years, he had been focused on the tournament alone. So, after more than a century of not absorbing blood, Alex was finally going to do it one more time.
His blood aura began moving in a certain way inside of his body, attracting the blood aura that was in the cauldron before him. He slowly accepted the attractive blood aura into his body, feeling it prickle through his organs, reaching his bloodstream.
His blood cultivation stopped providing his body with anything when he was done absorbing all the aura from the blood before him. Alex slowed down his cultivation to a halt after realizing that he had completely absorbed all of the energy.
'That's a massive surprise,' he thought. He hadn't expected to be done so quickly. Was it because he was an Immortal now, or was his body just that thirsty for blood aura? It had been over a century since he got an external blood aura.
"You absorbed it all?" Rosemist asked, appearing from the side.
"Yes," Alex said, checking his own Blood aura. Because his blood aura had matched his cultivation base, it had reached the strength of Immortal Ascendant 9th realm. It needed to improve on its own to reach the next cultivation base so its cultivation base itself would improve.
However, he was happy to see that it had improved tremendously. Alex was now in the Immortal Origin 6th realm with his Blood Aura. That was a massive improvement over what he had previously.
Now, his Body was the thing that lagged the most behind at Immortal Origin 2nd realm, followed by his Sword Intent which was at Immortal Origin 4th realm.
His Spiritual strength was still stronger than his Blood Aura, but that was all thanks to the Spiritual Conjunction technique. His other attributes would reach higher very soon.
"What now?" Rosemist asked after seeing him say nothing.
"Now?" Alex pulled out the small vial of blood. "Now, we hope for the best."
