Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 897: Chapter 470: Black Tortoise Demon Blood (7k1)_4

Then.

Chen Mu cast his gaze towards the interior of the White Jade Treasury.

Unlike the Royal Treasury, in the depths of this treasury, there were three large green jade doors, each inscribed with various formation patterns, flowing with the power of the Earth’s Veins, restraining the aura behind the doors from leaking out, isolating the inside from the outside.

Chen Mu looked at these three large green jade doors, a peculiar glint flashed in his eyes, and then he stepped forward, walking to the front of the first green jade door, placing his hand on it and gently pushing forward.

Buzz!!!

The light shimmered on the green jade door, permeating through all the formation patterns, linking into a whole, and slowly opening.

As soon as this door was almost opened, a terrifying and immense, overwhelming demon aura rushed towards Chen Mu, as if a supreme Heavenly Demon was hidden behind this door!

The grandmaster imperial supervisor following behind Chen Mu instinctively tensed, preparing a defensive stance, and subconsciously tried to retreat, his eyes showing a touch of astonishment.

As a royal imperial supervisor, he wasn’t qualified to enter the Ji Family Treasury and had never been there, so he naturally didn’t know the scenes inside the Ji Family Treasury; at this moment, he was slightly shocked in his heart, could it be that the ancestral treasury of the Ji Family held a Heavenly Demon captive?!

However.

When the green jade door was fully opened, revealing the space behind it, the grandmaster imperial supervisor’s tense body slightly relaxed, a sigh of relief escaped his heart, and a glow of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Meanwhile, standing in front, directly facing the door was Chen Mu, who completely ignored the overwhelming demon aura rushing towards him, squinting his eyes and showing a curious look at the scene inside the green jade door.

Behold!

Inside the green jade door was an inner treasury even larger than the outside treasury, devoid of any spirit weapons or Heaven and Earth Spiritual Items, but containing only an exceedingly vast pool!

This pool was about twenty to thirty zhang wide, an intense red filled its interior, one glance was enough to know it was a blood pool, yet this immense pool of demon blood had no bloody smell, instead giving off an eerie sense of sanctity.

Heavenly Demon Blood Pool!

Chen Mu discerned it with just one look, even able to ascertain that this was not a blood pool accumulated from the demon blood of a Ninth Rank Heavenly Demon, but from an extraordinary Tenth Rank Heavenly Demon!

Moreover, this demon blood in the pool gave him both a strange feeling and a subtle sense of familiarity, allowing him to quickly confirm after a brief observation which type of Tenth Rank Heavenly Demon this blood belonged to.

Black Tortoise!

Indeed, this pool of demon blood was precisely the blood of the Black Tortoise!

Chen Mu had once teamed up with Qin Mengjun to hunt a Mystic Tortoise, making him incredibly familiar with the blood of the Mystic Tortoise. When the Mystic Tortoise evolved once more, crossing into the Tenth Rank, it could wholly revert to its ancestral origins, transforming into the legendary unparalleled Heavenly Demon, the Black Tortoise.

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise were the oldest Tenth Rank legendary Heavenly Demons that traversed the world in ancient times, with the most extensive bloodlines and could almost be called the progenitors of all demons. To some extent, all demons in the world have these four bloodlines flowing within them.

Da Xuan established the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise armies, naming them after these four oldest unparalleled Heavenly Demons.

“It’s not surprising that Da Xuan once slew a Black Tortoise, hence forming the Black Tortoise Army and acquiring this pool of Black Tortoise blood; however, the fact that this blood has yet to be exhausted after all these years speaks to its immense quantity.”

Chen Mu gazed at this pool of Black Tortoise blood, murmuring softly.

Just as Da Xuan once slew the Azure Dragon, crafting Azure Dragon Heavy Armor from its scales to arm a million strong Azure Dragon Army, so too did they forge Black Tortoise Heavy Armor from Black Tortoise scale armor to outfit a million strong Black Tortoise Army at its peak.

In today’s world.

The Tenth Rank unparalleled Heavenly Demons are extremely rare, almost nonexistent within Da Xuan’s borders, with only the possibility of existing somewhere in the vast Outer Sea, making Tenth Rank Heavenly Demon blood nearly extinct in the world!

Even a small bottleful of it is immensely precious, enough for grandmasters to risk their lives fighting over it, drawing the attention of Blood Exchange Realm experts.

Yet here.

Exists such a massive quantity, such a gigantic pool of Black Tortoise demon blood!

“Very good, very good…”

Chen Mu took a deep breath, his eyes finally revealing a glimmer of light.

Currently, he needed to refine his Martial Blood, and the Tenth Rank Black Tortoise demon blood was undeniably a resource that could aid him significantly!

In reality.

For ordinary people, the Tenth Rank Black Tortoise demon blood may barely suffice to refine one’s Martial Blood to the level of ‘Great Success of Blood Refinement’, considered the limit for martial artists in this era, with further advancement almost impossible.

Only with a substantial amount of more precious ‘Black Tortoise Heart Blood’ could the martial body possibly rise further, yet even then, achieving ‘Blood Refinement Perfection’ would be elusive, as the current martial arts haven’t reached the zenith in the Blood Exchange step and lack sufficiently efficient cultivation methods.

But that is not an issue for Chen Mu!

The Red Dragon’s blood could aid his blood refinement cultivation, and the Black Tortoise demon blood undoubtedly could do the same. As long as the Black Tortoise demon blood could be converted into experience points on the system panel, nothing else mattered!

With the system panel, he didn’t require resources of exceedingly high quality; instead, the need was for ‘quantity’. As long as the quality barely reached the effective point, the more, the better in terms of quantity!

Previously in the East Treasury, Chen Mu had already reaped a substantial amount of Heaven and Earth spiritual items and resources, yet he was unsure whether it would suffice for him to advance his Qiankun Martial Body further to achieve Blood Refinement Perfection.

But now.

With such an extensive pool of Black Tortoise demon blood, he probably wouldn’t lack the resources needed to further his physique cultivation!

Furthermore, in the Ji Family inner treasury, there were still two other doors; perhaps behind those doors, there existed similar demon blood, from the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, etc., all useful to him!

This wouldn’t just make reaching Blood Refinement Perfection easily attainable; even striving for the utmost limit of blood refinement seemed within reach.

Taking a deep breath,

Chen Mu quickly calmed his scattered thoughts.

Commencing seclusion here to absorb demon blood for cultivation was clearly inappropriate, as there were other matters to attend to, and he didn’t plan to linger long in the Central Prefecture before returning to Cold North.

Swish.

Chen Mu once again took out the Qiankun Bottle.

The internal space of the Qiankun Bottle was roughly less than thirty zhang in area, not much different from this blood pool’s size, seemingly insufficient to contain all the Black Tortoise demon blood in the pool, yet in reality, it was ample.

Because the space inside the Qiankun Bottle is a cubic shape, with a height close to thirty zhang, and the volume of this Black Tortoise demon blood pool was far less than thirty zhang in depth, Chen Mu made a rough estimate, concluding it was less than ten zhang deep.

Perhaps in the past, this blood pool had been completely filled, but now only this amount remained.

Hiss! Hiss!!!

Chen Mu’s fingers moved slightly, swiftly segregating a section within the internal space of the Qiankun Bottle, using stone slabs hewn from the pool’s walls as dividers, subsequently allowing the massive pool of Black Tortoise demon blood to pour steadily into the Qiankun Bottle.
