The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 1548 - 1544: Abnormal Bloodline

Shen Luo pondered for a moment, and activated the Liangyi Micro-dust Array surrounding the Cave Mansion. The scenery blurred, transforming into a boundless plain.

He flicked his sleeve again, and ten Pure Yang Swords flew out from his body, suspended around him. They emitted dazzling sword light, connected to each other, and quickly formed the Pure Yang Golden Light Sword Array.

With the two Arrays engaged, Shen Luo finally relaxed. He utilized the Ghost Eye of the Netherworld and carefully observed the Purple Polar Ice Pearl before him. A moment later, he raised his hand and flicked his finger.

A slender sword light descended from the sky and swept across the Purple Polar Ice Pearl, leaving a shallow crack on the crystal-clear pearl.

The Purple Extreme Ice Flame inside the pearl immediately became chaotic. A stream of purple ice flame burst out from the crack, unleashing a sky-high cold air which instantly engulfed the entire Sword Array.

Shen Luo did not panic. He manipulated the Golden Sword Array, causing countless golden light swords to swoop down, cleaving between the ice flame and the pearl, instantly separating them.

He also activated the Indigo Ocean Divine Technique. A group of blue light containing extreme cold force shot out from his hand, enveloping the Purple Polar Ice Pearl and sealing the crack.

The surface of the pearl flickered with purple light, rapidly absorbing the cold air within the blue light.

The crack on the pearl quickly healed, a few breaths later it completely vanished, re-imprisoning the Purple Extreme Ice Flame inside.

Seeing this, Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the expelled Purple Extreme Ice Flame.

This cluster of ice flame suspended in mid-air was firmly confined by the Pure Yang Golden Light Sword Array.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He operated the Indigo Ocean Divine Technique again, releasing a blue light that enveloped the cluster of purple ice flame.

The intense purple cold air seeped out from the ice flame, transferring to his body along the blue light of the Indigo Ocean, causing strings of purple ice crystal to form around him.

The power of this clump of Purple Extreme Ice Flame was limited, only freezing half of his body.

Having previously been frozen by the Purple Extreme Ice, Shen Luo was not worried. While resisting further invasion of the cold air with the internal Pure Yang Sword, he also refined the Purple Extreme Ice Flame using the Indigo Ocean Divine Technique.

Several two-hour periods later, the purple ice on his body completely disappeared, and the Indigo Ocean blue light became significantly brighter.

With a slight upturn of his lips, Shen Luo again stimulated the Golden Sword Array to crack open the Purple Polar Ice Pearl.

The refining of the Purple Extreme Cold just now had consumed a considerable amount of his mana.

Shen Luo took out a gourd containing Fire Lotus Pills, poured out a pill, and swallowed it.

His plan was to enhance his cultivation with the Fire Lotus Pill while refining the Purple Polar Ice Pearl, making progress on both fronts.

Bright golden light rose, soon covering Shen Luo’s body.

Time flew by; in the blink of an eye, three years passed.

The sapling in front of the Cave Mansion had now grown quite tall, and a thick layer of dust had settled on the floor inside the cave.

In the Secret Chamber, Shen Luo had already emerged from the Illusion Domain of the Liangyi Micro-dust Array, with a blue jade belt around his waist, shimmering in blue light, each side embedded with a blue crystal, which looked extraordinary.

His whole body surged with water-like pure gold light, each surge causing the surrounding void to tremble incessantly.

As time gradually passed, the golden light around Shen Luo grew denser, forming a golden light group several meters wide, violently flickering, seemingly charging toward some bottleneck.

Every flicker of the golden light group made the entire Secret Chamber shake, although there were prohibitions in place, it still gave a feeling of an imminent collapse.

A moment later, the golden light group stabilized and gradually dissipated, revealing the figure of Shen Luo, his face bearing a hint of helplessness.

"It seems that even with the help of the Spirit-Guiding Jade Belt, it’s still not enough." The voice of Fire Spirit Child rang out.

"The Late Stage of a True Immortal is extraordinary; naturally, it is more difficult to make a breakthrough." Shen Luo touched the jade belt at his waist, yet he appeared very calm.

This jade belt was refined from that piece of Attached Spirit Jade, and Fire Spirit Child had made it into a personal Magical Treasure that still retained the effect of storing mana.

With the help of the Fire Lotus Pill, Undying Wood Straw Cushion, Spirit-Guiding Jade Belt, and the experience of Dream Cultivation, Shen Luo only took one year to smoothly break through to the Mid-Term of True Immortals.

The effect of the Fire Lotus Pill was even beyond his expectations, and with plenty left, he did not leave his retreat, continuing his closed-door cultivation.

With the strong medicinal power of the Fire Lotus Pill, Shen Luo’s cultivation level continued to soar rapidly, reaching the peak of the Mid-Term True Immortal in two years, just half a step away from the Late True Immortal Stage.

He attempted several times to break through the bottleneck of the later stage, but unfortunately, all ended in failure.

"According to my experience, continuing to forcefully attempt a breakthrough in your situation is not advisable. It’s better to leave the retreat and travel around; perhaps a certain opportunity will enable your cultivation to successfully break through," Fire Spirit Child suggested.

"I have the same thought. With my current strength, I still cannot contend against Che Qingtian. It’s better to continue exploring this Secret Realm. If this place really is the Immortal Tomb Ground, perhaps there are unexpected gains to be found," Shen Luo said.

Fire Spirit Child, who is restless by nature, had already grown impatient staying here and immediately showed joy upon hearing the words, repeatedly expressing his agreement.

"How is Cai Zhu now?" Shen Luo shifted the topic and asked.

"She is still in seclusion, trying to use the power of the Spirit Refining Array to attempt a breakthrough in the Witch Vein, but there’s not much Witchcraft Power inside the Spirit Refining Array; the hope is slim," Fire Spirit Child explained.

Three years ago, Fire Spirit Child applied the probing array he mentioned to examine Nie Caizhu’s body and finally discovered the real reason her cultivation had stagnated.

As Fire Spirit Child had previously speculated, Nie Caizhu’s body contained the power of a foreign race, which turned out to be the Witch Tribe Bloodline from Ancient Times.

Shen Luo was genuinely surprised when he learned about this; Nie Caizhu’s parents were both ordinary people of the Human Race, but according to Fire Spirit Child, the power of the Witch Tribe Bloodline is special. Unlike the power of the Demon Race passed down generation after generation, it could skip several generations, or even dozens of generations before reappearing.

The Witch Tribe Bloodline is peculiar and quite confrontational with the mana of the Human Race. Previously, when Nie Caizhu’s cultivation was still low, the Witch Tribe Bloodline did not reveal itself. Now that she had passed the Thunder Tribulation, the Witch Tribe’s power began to emerge, causing her realm to remain stagnant.

Fire Spirit Child was also helpless about this and decided the best course of action was to first fully stimulate her body’s Witch Tribe Bloodline and then find a solution.

However, Fire Spirit Child did not know the details of how to stimulate the Witch Tribe Bloodline and could only use the Stele Formation Device to set up the Spirit Refining Array, guiding Nie Caizhu’s Witch Tribe Bloodline with the power of Witch Clan contained within the array tools.

"Being gentle on the outside and resolute on the inside, let her try her best first; otherwise, she won’t be satisfied. After we leave here, I’ll search for some Ancient Witch Clan Magical Treasures to help her activate the Witch Tribe Bloodline," Shen Luo said with a light sigh.

"Do you, Friend Shen, know where to find such Witch Weapons?" Fire Spirit Child asked with a tone of surprise.

"I have some clues about one or two Witch Weapons, all in the hands of powerful individuals," Shen Luo said, referring to Li Jing’s Liuchen Whip and Yang Jian’s Three-pointed Two-edged Knife, his eyes flashing slightly.

Li Jing’s Liuchen Whip is one of the Twelve Ancestral Witch Weapons known as the War God Whip, and it even contains the immensely mysterious Soul Devouring Array. It seems Li Jing is not aware of this yet.

I must find an opportunity to acquire that Liuchen Whip in the future.

Fire Spirit Child responded somewhat disappointedly and then fell silent.
