Chapter 420 - 316: True Blood Pride Ascends to the Demon Realm, Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool!
"I don’t know anything, I only know I possess the Bai Ze Demon Body."
"Linglong is friendly with me, she won’t act recklessly."
Su Jiuzhuo seems to have a grudge against Ao Xuan?
Or for some other reason, Su Jiuzhuo clearly doesn’t want Ao Xuan to know Xiang Wuji’s secrets.
"Linglong?"
Su Jiuzhuo’s naturally enchanting eyes slightly squinted.
"That True Dragon Blood? Interesting..."
"Elder Su, I have come here as agreed upon, could you tell me the purpose of this visit?"
"Naturally."
[Su Jiuzhuo nearly clashed with Ao Xuan.]
[After nearly a thousand years of cultivation, you finally learned the origin and purpose of Su Jiuzhuo.]
[To maintain the Demon Race’s unwavering Qi fortune.]
[Every five thousand years, the Demon Race must find a demon cultivator who possesses true blood to go to the Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool.]
[Only the major clans within the Demon Race have the foundation to use bloodline secret techniques to find the true blood related to their lineage.]
[True blood comes from the bloodlines of the exotic divine beasts that were born sacred in ancient times, akin to innate deities, possessing various great divine techniques, with the strong ones reaching True Immortal status upon maturity.]
[However, as time passed, these pureblood divine beasts have gradually faded into history, rarely appearing.]
[Only occasionally, in their descendants, a true blood that returns to the ancestral type appears. These true bloods aren’t pureblood but contain pure divine beast bloodline, which is akin to true blood condensed without dispersing, unlike ordinary demon cultivators whose bloodlines have been diluted over numerous ages.]
[Only major clans within the Demon Realm have the foundation to discover and foster the True Blood Pride among their descendants.]
[Similarly, maintaining the true blood ensures their status as major clans of the Demon Realm, enjoying tribute and leading the Demon Realm.]
[According to Su Jiuzhuo, Bai Linglong was actually a figure from twelve thousand years ago. In that era, the Dragon Race produced a pair of true blood twins, and Bai Linglong was the elder sister. To maximize her use, the Dragon Race sealed Bai Linglong in a rare Dragon Vein Land, maintaining her vitality while she slumbered, hidden from outsiders.]
[Seven thousand years ago, the Dragon Race produced another True Blood Pride, so Bai Linglong continued to slumber until awakened today.]
[Such methods aren’t uncommon within the Demon Realm; many major clans utilize them.]
[True Blood Pride agrees because the Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool opens every five thousand years, offering significant benefits for the True Blood Pride.]
[Upon Bai Linglong’s revival, the Dragon Race received the news promptly, yet with time’s tide, the original barren land was occupied by the Human Race, making it difficult for the Demon Race to find Bai Linglong’s location, leading to her eventual retrieval.]
[Su Jiuzhuo comes from the Celestial Fox Race, the leaders of the Fox Race within the Demon Realm, a top-tier race producing true blood for generations.]
[However, an incident from thousands of years ago led to the decline of Qi fortune within the Celestial Fox Race, with no emergence of true blood...]
"I am from the previous generation of true blood; yet, this true blood consumed almost all of my clan’s foundation, cultivated in the acquired manner."
"With the five thousand-year mark approaching, if the Celestial Fox Race fails to produce a pride, we will be expelled from top-tier status, reducing our future resources, and with previous foundation depletion, a vicious cycle ensues, predicting the Celestial Fox Race’s eventual decline after my departure..."
Su Jiuzhuo’s tone was somewhat heavy.
"Hence, we found you..."
Su Jiuzhuo looked at Xiang Wuji, eyes shining.
[According to the Demon Race’s code, the True Blood Pride produced by the major races need not originate from their own lineage.]
[However, there cannot be coercion; the pride must willingly fight for them.]
[In his early days, Su Jiuzhuo had a fortuitous encounter, obtaining the supreme treasure left by Great Saint Bai Ze, capable of finding the pride with awakened Bai Ze true blood among the world’s creatures.]
[Throughout the Demon Realm, the Bai Ze Blood has no inherited race.]
[Therefore, Bai Ze Blood may ancestrally manifest in any race, becoming the sole hope for the Celestial Fox Race.]
[However, Bai Ze Blood possesses the ability to observe worldly Qi fortune, often suffering celestial punishment if its fortune is not trivial, with few maturing.]
[Additionally, Bai Ze Blood’s exceedingly low probability of emergence.]
[Upon discovering your possession of Bai Ze Blood, Su Jiuzhuo, as the Clan Leader of the Celestial Fox Race, personally came to oversee you.]
[Hence, Su Jiuzhuo frequently assisted you, even risking conflict with the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance’s Divinity Transformation power, aiming for your voluntary assistance to the Celestial Fox Race.]
[Being one who is clear about gratitude and grievances, you naturally agreed.]
[Su Jiuzhuo was unsurprised by your consent; she witnessed your growth, bringing you back to the Celestial Fox Race’s stronghold in Qingqiu.]
[At this place, you received treatment of the highest caliber.]
[No one within the Fox Race spoke ill of your Human Race origins, as the Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool doesn’t prohibit Human Race participation; possessing true blood suffices.]
[Few would expect two supreme forces to converge on a single individual, transforming the original half-demon into a demon body.]
[Moreover, you understood that genuine Bai Ze Blood might surpass your Bai Ze Demon Body significantly.]
[Your Bai Ze Blood, after all, awakened acquiredly and was converted into the demon body, suppressed by Undefeated Demon Blood, with your Human Race bloodline not perfectly matching Bai Ze Blood.]
[Additionally, the Bai Ze Blood within you isn’t abundant.]
[If you transformed into a half-demon, as cultivation progressed, the Bai Ze Blood within might increase, and upon reaching the pinnacle, you might confront Undefeated Demon Blood directly; however, due to Undefeated Demon Blood, your Bai Ze Blood remains minimal, with the Bai Ze Demon Body being the purest grade.]
[For the Celestial Fox Race, merely possessing true blood suffices; expectations for exceptional performance in the Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool aren’t held.]
[Their aim is to preserve the Celestial Fox Race’s status.]
[As such, every fox descendant respectfully addresses you as Lord Xiang, and even the Demon Emperor courteously calls you Daoist Xiang without any malice.]
[Daily, spirit fruits and spiritual springs flow ceaselessly; you somewhat regret consuming so many pills prior, as the spiritual power within these spirit fruits and springs was wasted, with your physical body and nascent soul at their limit.]
[Moreover, numerous transformed fox demons danced gracefully for you daily, even a Demon Emperor personally danced upon noticing your interest.]
[You felt refreshed, with your divine sense subtly ascending.]
[No wonder mundane lore blames Demon Consorts for dynasty collapses, depicting them as fox demons.]
[A month later, Su Jiuzhuo approached, sharing some information about the Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool; she, having once entered the pool, knew it well.]
[There’s no life threat within the Ten Thousand Demons Celestial Pool, yet each person experiences unique trials, borrowing Qi fortune from the bloodline source post-trial, sustaining the Demon Race’s Qi fortune, protected by ancestors, resisting extermination by the increasingly powerful Human Race.]
[Your Bai Ze Blood’s source is Great Saint Bai Ze; the Celestial Fox Race lacks specifics, offering procedural guidance, requiring your adaptability.]
[Passing the trial benefits you enormously, you agreed.]
[That day, you enjoyed massages from twelve fox maidens.]
[Within your divine sense, a faint cry of distress from a woman was discernible; you sensed it didn’t originate from the Fox Race.]
"What’s that."
Xiang Wuji used divine sense to replicate the sound he sensed for a nearby fox maiden.
The fox maiden hesitated before saying, "That’s from the Alchemy Hall’s captured human..."
