Chapter 233: Chapter 220: Blood Path Diagram Plate_2
Moreover, Ning Zhuo’s cultivation had surged, with all three cultivation techniques reaching the ninth level’s peak. This was far beyond his previous achievements!
All of this allowed him to easily open and close the doors in the later stages of the Magma Fairy Palace trials, moving freely.
Ning Zhuo returned to the preparation room, collecting a substantial amount of blood qi rewards from the leaderboard.
Currently, the renovation teams of the Four Directions Powers in the Volcanic Immortal City were diligently practicing the Five Elements Qi Regulation Art from the fourth to the sixth layer, with almost no one venturing into the Immortal Palace.
However, there were still many wooden puppets active in the trial stages of the Immortal Palace.
By now, many ordinary cultivators had refined the Five Elements Qi Regulation Art to the peak of the third layer, qualifying them to enter the Immortal Palace with their souls.
If these people discovered that Ning Zhuo was freely exiting the trials, it would definitely be inappropriate.
Thus, before exiting any trial, Ning Zhuo always sent the Golden Blood Battle Ape – Dasheng ahead.
The Golden Blood Battle Ape – Dasheng struck down any mechanical puppet he encountered along the way, clearing the path for Ning Zhuo and ensuring he was not discovered by others.
Why did this mechanical monkey cause such havoc?
This did not match the previous findings and patterns summarized by the Four Directions Powers’ renovation teams during their arduous explorations.
But Ning Zhuo could not afford to worry about this now; he had to leave these people to their own speculations.
The situation was extremely tense, leaving no room for him to attend to such minor details.
After receiving a large amount of blood qi rewards from the leaderboard again, Ning Zhuo remained in the preparation room for a while, using the Blood Path Diagram Plate to make some slight modifications to his body and to that of the Golden Blood Battle Ape – Dasheng.
Soon, he led the Golden Blood Battle Ape – Dasheng back to the special trials of the Demon Sect.
Just as Ning Zhuo was about to use the newly acquired abundant blood qi to create the Blood Path Diagram Plate, he had a sudden inspiration.
“Dasheng, your turn,” he called out.
“At your command,” Yuan Dasheng responded, stepping forward.
Having received the abundant blood qi, he operated the demonic technique on Ning Zhuo’s behalf, applying it to the blank Blood Path Diagram Plate.
In an instant, almost all of Yuan Dasheng’s blood qi was channeled into the plate.
This was vastly different from when Ning Zhuo infused blood qi.
“So, controlling the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique to a certain stage allows one to channel all their cultivation at once!” Ning Zhuo’s eyes shone as he watched and learned.
Clearly, Yuan Dasheng’s mastery of this cultivation technique was far deeper than his own.
As a result, the speed at which the Blood Path Diagram Plate was being created was more than ten times faster than Ning Zhuo’s pace.
First layer, second layer, third layer…
The blood path diagrams of these techniques quickly emerged, layer by layer, covering the Blood Path Diagram Plate.
Within just twenty breaths, the plate’s creation reached the sixth layer of the demonic technique.
Starting from the seventh layer, the creation speed noticeably slowed down.
The Demon-infused Bloodline Technique from the seventh to the ninth layer focused on accumulating vast amounts of blood qi.
Nevertheless, Yuan Dasheng’s speed in crafting the Blood Path Diagram Plate was still far faster than Ning Zhuo’s when he crafted the first six layers.
Seventh layer, eighth layer, ninth layer!
Even after Yuan Dasheng completed the ninth layer, there was still a large surplus of blood qi on the Blood Path Diagram Plate.
Yuan Dasheng showed no intention of stopping and continued crafting.
Soon, the Blood Path Diagram Plate began to inscribe blood path diagrams corresponding to the Foundation Establishment Stage techniques.
Early Foundation Establishment, Mid Foundation Establishment, all the way to Late Foundation Establishment!
At this point, the blood qi finally ran out, and Yuan Dasheng had to stop activating the technique.
Ning Zhuo was overjoyed, immediately taking the Blood Path Diagram Plate into his hands for close examination.
He had only acquired the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique up to the Qi Refinement Realm. He knew nothing about the details of the techniques for the Foundation Establishment Stage.
But now, Yuan Dasheng had created this.
From this, it also confirmed what the Dragon Turtle Fire Spirit had previously said.
The true scripture of the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique had already merged with Yuan Dasheng, becoming a part of his instinct!
“Yuan Dasheng, can you write out all the content of the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique?” Ning Zhuo asked.
Yuan Dasheng hesitated for a moment, then half-knelt and said, “My lord, I am unable to fulfill your command.”
Upon careful inquiry, Ning Zhuo discovered that Yuan Dasheng could only use the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique but did not truly understand it.
He had been refined by the Magma Fairy Palace, leaving no memories behind, only purifying his spiritual nature.
The entire content of the true scripture of the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique had become more of an instinct for him. Asking him to delve into it and express this instinct fully in words was beyond him.
“Even so, I might still be able to use this special trial to let Yuan Dasheng complete the full recording of the Demon-infused Bloodline Technique!”
Ning Zhuo immediately thought of an alternate strategy using the Blood Path Diagram Plate.
“However, this would require a vast amount of blood qi.”
Ning Zhuo calculated the total amount of blood qi he could collect throughout the trial.
He then summed up the blood qi consumed during his first and second attempts at crafting the Blood Path Diagram Plate and compared both results.
He regrettably found that the total blood qi he could acquire was far short of what was needed for a Golden Core Level technique.
“Forget it.”
“Once I conquer the Magma Fairy Palace, won’t I be able to see all the content of the Three Superior Sect Techniques?”
“For now, let’s focus on clearing the path of the Demon Sect!”
This was incredibly important to him.
According to his plan, it was crucial to overcoming the current crisis.
“First, let’s install the Blood Path Diagram Plate.”
Ning Zhuo, now a wooden puppet, sat down, opened a small door on his chest, and revealed the internal mechanisms of his body.
To install the Blood Path Diagram Plate, he had already made modifications to himself in the preparation room.
Holding the Blood Path Diagram Plate with one hand, he inserted it into the middle section of his spine.
There, he had specially created a slot for it.
With a click, the Blood Path Diagram Plate was successfully installed into the slot.
The ends of the slot’s base lifted and securely locked the plate in place.
Without any blood qi, Ning Zhuo could not activate the Blood Path Diagram Plate to verify if it was properly installed.
Ning Zhuo speculated: “The next trial must reward blood qi! Otherwise, the Blood Path Diagram Plate would be useless.”
“The Three Ancestral Masters set up this special trial with a purpose; they would not do something pointless.”
Ning Zhuo gently tugged at the Blood Path Diagram Plate, ensuring it was firmly joined with the slot and would not come loose during intense movements.
He then closed the small door on his chest, patting it to make sure it was tightly shut.
Next, he followed the same procedure, opening the chest of the Golden Blood Battle Ape – Dasheng and inserting another Blood Path Diagram Plate.
The mechanical structure of the Golden Blood Battle Ape was very compact.
The temporary slot Ning Zhuo added could not be placed at chest level. He had to make a compromise, positioning it in the abdomen where there was some space.
Due to limited space, the slot mechanism he made for Yuan Dasheng was much simpler than his own.
Installing the Blood Path Diagram Plate for Yuan Dasheng required more caution.
Ning Zhuo gently held the sides of the Blood Path Diagram Plate, aligning it with the slot, and carefully pushed it in with simultaneous force from both hands.
The locking method for Yuan Dasheng’s slot was different from Ning Zhuo’s. Ning Zhuo had to manually secure the locks on both sides.
Once this step was completed, he followed the pipe from the slot’s end, inspecting it all the way up to Yuan Dasheng’s chest components.
After ensuring the lines and connections were intact, Ning Zhuo finally closed Yuan Dasheng’s chest.
