You can just call me ‘Stressed by a Mountain of Books’!
You can just call me ‘Stressed by a Mountain of Books’!
On the other hand, that blood mist inside the Lan Yuan Valley was getting ticker and ticker.
After around two breaths, Song Shuhang suddenly felt his Heart Aperture getting warm, as it if was on fire.
He was familiar with this feeling. This was the same feeling he would get when sending his qi and blood into his Heart Aperture after practicing the ❮Basic Buddhist Fist Technique❯ and the ❮True Self Meditation Scripture❯!
However, whenever he was practicing, his Heart Aperture would just warm up a bit. But now, it was getting hotter and hotter, and there were no signs of stopping.
In other words, the quantity of qi and blood in his Heart Aperture was rising at a very fast pace! The more this quantity was increasing, the less time he would need in the future to complete his Hundred Days Foundation Establishment.
And if it kept increasing without stopping, he might even open his Heart Aperture today, completing his Hundred Days Foundation Establishment!
This was one of the 'benefits' Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman had talked about.

"Boom!"
Seven's saber attack clashed against the dense blood mist that was covering Lan Yuan Valley, sinking inside it.
"Boom… boom…" the frightening sound of saber blades exploding could be heard everywhere.
Just how great was the power of the 'Heavenly Saber Burying the Starry Sea'?
Even Seven himself couldn't completely control the power of this saber technique. The saber qi contained in this attack just now could bring destruction to an area of several hundred meters without losing even a single bit of its power!
"Ding ding ding~"
A strange sound echoed in the middle of the blood mist. The mist also got thicker as a consequence.
After five breaths.
Seven's saber had returned to its sheath. However, he had the feeling that something was not right!
Was Young Master Hai still alive…?
The blood mist covering Lan Yuan Valley slowly started to disappear.
The first thing that appeared before Seven's eyes was a completely trashed Young Master Hai. His hair was disheveled, his entire body littered with bloody wounds. But he was still alive, and on his face was hanging an annoying smile.
In his hand, he was holding a steaming dark-red blood saber. This was his life-bound God Blood Saber. Thanks to it, Young Master Hai was confident in breaking through the Fifth Stage and condensing his own Golden Core!
Beside him, Demon Monarch Anzhi opened his mouth and inhaled all the demonic qi in the Lan Yuan Valley.
This 'Blood God's Evil Saber Formation' had been revised and completed by the two of them.
After sacrificing the whole Moon Saber Sect...
Young Master Hai had obtained a life-bound God Blood Saber.
Meanwhile, Demon Monarch Anzhi obtained the "Qi of the Three Demons".
These were some of the benefits they had obtained from this cooperation.
And near these two was a man with long and disorderly hair. He had a very fierce look on his face and blood was dripping from his body. There were many large and small wounds on his body, and he was painfully gritting his teeth.
He was the one that had taken Seven's 'Heavenly Saber Burying the Starry Sea' head on!
When Seven saw this fierce-looking man, fire started to burn in his eyes. He slowly put his right hand on the handle of the saber and exclaimed, "Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant!"
This was the Limitless Demon Sect's… Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant!
A cultivator of the Fifth Stage that had a Golden Core. His strength was really incredible.
Every single disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect had a very extreme and unpredictable nature. Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant was the sole exception in the Limitless Demon Sect, and he was relatively harmless to humans and animals alike… as long as no one provoked him!
But it just so happened that Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant had an inborn passive ability that made others provoke him. While casually walking on the streets, people would suddenly find him not pleasing to the eye. Then, they would get the urge to slap him or spit on his face.
Afterwards… well, there was no 'afterwards' for them.
Therefore, when he had made his appearance a few days ago, the ❮Daily Cultivator❯ had specially written an article about him. It was to let all the cultivators that were out of the loop know about this inborn ability of his. With that, they would pay more attention and avoid bringing a disaster upon themselves by provoking him.
"To be able to take my 'Heavenly Saber Burying the Starry Sea' head on... you certainly live up to your name, Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant," Seven's grasped the handle of his saber, brimming with fighting intent. "Since you came here to save Young Master Hai, let's fight!"
At long last… let me have a good fight!
Seven was brimming with fighting intent!
"I owed a favor to junior brother Young Master Hai. This time, I just came here to protect him," Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant gritted his teeth. To ward off that 'Heavenly Saber Burying the Starry Sea' just now he had risked his poor life!
"Enough talking, let's fight," Su Clan's Seven said.
...Junior brother Young Master Hai? So, Young Master Hai was a disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect all along?
"Today, we don't have time to fight. The two of us have something to worry about. You have to protect those two kids behind you while I have to protect my junior brother and that other youngster," Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant said. "In a while, we can make an appointment and have a fight."
Seven furrowed his brows.
***
While these two great experts at the Golden Core Realm were speaking, Young Master Hai smiled and stretched his hand.
The life-bound Blood God Saber was only one of the benefits he would obtain from the great formation… now, it was time for the second one!
Four blood-red crystals appeared out of thin air and slowly fell toward Young Master Hai.
The blood mist covering Lan Yuan Valley hadn't actually dispersed… it had changed into four shining blood-red crystals instead.
They had finally condensed.
If not for these four precious 'Blood God Crystals', Young Master Hai would have already run away with Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant. Otherwise, why would he remain here and talk nonsense with Su Clan's Seven?
Those four Blood God Crystals slowly descended and Young Master Hai stretched his hand to grab them.
But at this time, one of those Blood God Crystals suddenly stopped midair. Afterwards, it changed direction, as if attracted by a magnet, and flew toward another part of the Lan Yuan Valley.
There, a young man was uncouthly squatting on the ground. Young Master Hai still had a doubtful look when that Blood God Crystal fell in the palm of the young man.
Young Master Hai's smile immediately froze as he opened his eyes wide, carefully looking at that young man. He couldn't understand why that piece of Blood God Crystal had flown toward the young man on its own initiative.
After a short while, a ray of light flickered through his eyes.
After some calculations based on the position where the young man was standing, he had discovered that it was exactly the place where his 'Blood God's Evil Saber Formation' had a flaw!
After receiving the solution of a complex mathematical problem, you can proceed and solve it with more ease compared to before.
So, this is how it was. From the very beginning, the opposite party had been standing in the place where his formation had a flaw. With that, he had been able to easily snatch away a big part of his harvest.
Absolutely… absolutely brilliant!
"There is always a mountain beyond the mountain. Young Master Hai has been sincerely convinced!" He had been able to see through the flaws of his formation even if it was his first time seeing it. Afterwards, he had just squatted there waiting to reap the benefits. Young Master Hai had to admit that his skills were lacking compared to this man.
Therefore, he had been sincerely convinced.
"Haha," Song Shuhang laughed, somewhat embarrassed. This brilliant idea wasn't even his to begin with. It came from the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group!
In the middle of the sky, Seven's mood had improved quite a bit after seeing this scene. Even if he didn't know the exact details, he knew that Song Shuhang had snatched away Young Master Hai's treasure.
"Hahahaha!" Seven laughed. His imposing manner grew even stronger as he was secretly protecting Song Shuhang.
Young Master Hai collected the three remaining Blood God Crystals. Afterwards, he elegantly advanced toward Song Shuhang and cupped his hands as he said, "May I know the dao name of this fellow daoist?"
With Seven here, it was impossible to get that Blood God Crystal back.
"You can just call me 'Stressed by a Mountain of Books'!" Song Shuhang showed a row of white teeth.
"Stressed by a Mountain of Books? Someone from the scholarly faction? No wonder you had such an eyesight," Young Master Hai said with a faint smile. "For now, I'll entrust this piece of Blood God Crystal to fellow daoist Mountain of Books. At the appointed time, I'll pay a visit and make an offer for it."
At the same time, Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant stretched his hand and grabbed Young Master Hai and Demon Monarch Anzhi, just like a hawk grabbing a little chick. Afterwards, he tried to run away as fast as he could.
"You want to leave like this?" Su Clan's Seven slightly unsheathed his saber as he coldly looked toward Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant. Afterwards, he said, "Others might fear your Limitless Demon Sect. But Su Clan's Seven doesn't fear anything! Today, if you take Young Master Hai and leave without giving me a proper explanation… I'll make sure to chop into pieces tens of worshipping sites of your Limitless Demon Sect!"
Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant shrugged his shoulders.
Young Master Hai gently said, "You might as well do it. Brother Seven, I can understand why you're angry at me. Therefore, you can use those trivial dozens of worshipping sites to soothe your anger. We will meet another time."
"We will meet another time," Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant grabbed them and flew far away.
Seven also sheathed his saber. He had no intention of following them.
Given Demon Monarch Mad Tyrant's attitude toward Young Master Hai, it seemed things weren't as simple as 'owing a favor'. What was Young Master Hai's real status inside the Limitless Demon Sect?
Anyway, this kind of debt won't be forgotten just like that!
***
After a while, Seven descended from the sky as if walking on a ladder, dropping beside Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang had a blackened long saber hanging around his waist, and in his right hand was a piece of 'Blood God Crystal'. But at this moment, he wasn't paying attention to these two treasures. Instead, he was concentrating on his Heart Aperture.
His Heart Aperture was already full. It seemed that after adding another ten or so streams of qi and blood, he could open his Heart Aperture!
His Hundred Days Foundation Establishment would be soon complete!
Seven patted Song Shuhang's shoulder. "Little Friend Song Shuhang, you did well. As a cultivator, the only thing you don't have to be short of is courage."
Song Shuhang returned to his senses and gritted his teeth. That pat from Seven had been very painful.
"Sixteen, everything is over now. At this point, you should return with me to the Su Clan!" Seven said while looking at Sixteen.
However, Sixteen shook her head and started to move toward Lan Yuan Valley.
Lan Yuan Valley, within some ruins.
The Moon Saber Sect's disciples had been sucked dry of their life force and soul power. Even their bodies had changed into dried corpses that now lay on the ground.
Inside the valley, weapons, elixirs, and other products useful to cultivators had all changed into fuel for that strange formation. And as if they had gone through the erosion of many years, if lightly touched, they would turn into scrap iron and garbage.
Sixteen arrived in front of a house inside the Lan Yuan Valley. She raised her leg and kicked the door.
Since it had been affected by the power of the 'Blood God's Evil Saber Formation', the door had already been thoroughly eroded. Therefore, it was immediately sent flying by her kick.
Inside the room, that uncle 'Zheng De' from the Immortal Farming Sect had a lifeless expression on his face. It seemed that he had aged quite a bit. His hair had turned gray under the influence of the 'Blood God's Evil Saber Formation'.
Fortunately, that evil formation hadn't lasted for too long… otherwise, he would have also turned into a dried corpse like those Moon Saber Sect's disciples on the outside.
After seeing Sixteen, he smiled bitterly.
"Now, are you able to see how wrong you were?" Sixteen said with disdain.
Uncle Zheng De started to cry bitterly.
The noise outside was so loud that he had heard everything even while being inside the valley.
He knew that all of this was part of Young Master Hai's scheme.
He knew that the Moon Saber Sect had already become history.
He knew that the Immortal Farming Sect had also sustained severe damage… he could still hear the voices of his brothers when they were being killed.
Seven followed behind Sixteen.
He heaved a deep sigh. "Let's take him with us and leave."
He was also responsible for what had happened to the Immortal Farming Sect… now that everything was over, he couldn't just forget about the Immortal Farming Sect.
