Chapter 1394: Arrangement

Lu Ye nodded. "It used to be very difficult, but it should become easy soon. Kyushu already knows about the Blood Realm's various situations and the plight of the humans here. So, cultivators from the Kyushu cultivation world are preparing an expedition to this realm. Calculating the time, it should be about right. Many Kyushu cultivators will arrive here to exterminate the Bloodkind and rescue the humans living under their enslavement. My role in coming here first is to act as a guide."

Lan Qiyue's face flushed with excitement—though her Bloodkind complexion was already reddish. She pursed her crimson lips and cautiously asked, "Since I am Bloodkind now, is it really alright for me to join the Azurewood Sect?"

Lu Ye smiled. "The Kyushu cultivation world doesn't have such severe racial barriers as this place. Many sects have demon cultivators as disciples, and their treatment and status are the same as humans. So, you can absolutely join our sect. Furthermore, your situation is special. I will explain everything to the Sect Master at that time, and I believe he will accept you."

Lan Qiyue's eyes reddened. "Thank you, Senior Brother."

"The acceptance of disciples involves a heavenly mechanism witnessing process, which you will understand then. Once the war between the two realms concludes, you can return to Kyushu with me to complete the sect initiation procedures."

"Yes, I'll follow Senior Brother's arrangements."

Lan Qiyue felt incredibly lucky. She had met Lu Ye here, been rescued by him, and gained a new life. Now, she even had the chance to go to Kyushu and join the Azurewood Sect.

Among the billions of humans in the Blood Realm, she was undoubtedly the most special!

Lu Ye then said, "There's something I need you to do now."

Lan Qiyue sat upright, her posture rigid. "Please instruct me, Senior Brother." Knowing about Kyushu, learning about the Azurewood Sect, and then being verbally accepted into its ranks by Lu Ye had completely transformed her spirit.

Lu Ye took out an item. "I placed something called a 'Heavenly Mechanism Pillar' over in the Wrestling Grotto-heaven. Lu Chang knows its location. Go to the Wrestling Grotto-heaven now and guard that spot. When the time is right, that Heavenly Mechanism Pillar will emerge from the ground, allowing Kyushu cultivators to teleport over using it. I don't know who will arrive, but if you hold this item to show your identity, they won't trouble you. At that point, your only task is to help them slay the Bloodkind."

The item he produced was none other than his identity token as an Azurewood Sect disciple. It was personally given to him by Shui Yuan when he returned to the sect from the Spirit Stream Battlefield. Every Azurewood Sect disciple possesses such an identity token, which records the cultivator's basic information. Because it involves heavenly mechanisms, identity tokens, like provincial guard passes, cannot be counterfeited.

Lan Qiyue took the identity token and nodded solemnly. "I understand. Is there anything else you need to instruct me on, Senior Brother?"

Lu Ye pondered for a moment. "Unless Kyushu cultivators face a life-threatening danger, you don't need to help them kill enemies."

For Kyushu cultivators, every living Bloodkind is a walking battle merit. Therefore, helping others slay enemies is not a good thing; it's snatching their merits, which is something Kyushu cultivators greatly avoid.

Lan Qiyue will only need to activate her sanctity and assist from the side.

"Furthermore, instruct the Bloodkind to send all the collected spirit rice to the Wrestling Grotto-heaven. Also, no matter which group of Kyushu cultivators arrives, you must immediately declare your identity as an Azurewood Sect disciple and then inform them of the territorial boundaries you've marked out." Lan Qiyue nodded continuously, indicating she had remembered everything.

A short while later, she quickly departed, with Lu Chang accompanying her.

A moment later, Lu Ye also left Bright Moon Grotto and flew directly towards the nearest Blood Pool entrance.

After several days of recuperation, his injuries from the battle with Sacred Venerable Mohai had fully healed. This was the benefit of having a powerful physique; even when wounded, recovery was much easier than for ordinary cultivators, a convenience typically exclusive to body cultivators.

However, given the current strength of Lu Ye's physique, no one would dispute him if he claimed to be a body cultivator.

The Blood Pool was not far from Bright Moon Grotto, and at Lu Ye's current speed, he arrived in no time.

This was the very place where both Zhang Julai and Lan Qiyue had entered, though their fates were starkly different: Zhang Julai died here, while Lan Qiyue gained a new life.

Lu Ye had no other particular purpose in coming here.

Primarily, he likely didn't have enough time to return to the Divine阙 Sea. Since that was the case, there was no need to rush. Once Xiao Jiu fully established communication with the Blood Realm, he could likely use the Heavenly Mechanism Pillar to teleport anywhere, reaching the Divine阙 Sea in an instant.

It was also unsuitable for cultivation in the Blood Realm. Although the spiritual energy was abundant, it paled in comparison to the cultivation methods in Kyushu. For someone like Lu Ye, accustomed to gourmet food, suddenly having to eat coarse grains and pickles was rather unappetizing.

Therefore, he wanted to delve into the underground Blood River to investigate.

The underground Blood River traversed the entire Blood Realm, with Sacred Blood hidden within it. The Bloodkind also gestated and grew there. He was very curious to know what magical properties it held.

Of course, it would also be excellent if he could find a few drops of Sacred Blood to refine while he was there.

Just as he arrived at the Blood Pool entrance, a slender figure emerged from the pool, glowing crimson and with a youthful face.

It appeared to be a recently matured Bloodkind youth.

Blood embryos born to the Bloodkind are placed in the Blood Pool for gestation, subsequently hatching into Bloodkind. The young Bloodkind continue to grow in the Blood River, absorbing its nutrients, and only leave when they are fully grown.

The entire process takes only a few years, so in terms of growth time, the Bloodkind mature much faster than humans. Moreover, every Bloodkind emerges from the Blood River as a natural-born cultivator, generally at the Spirit Stream Realm, with some exceptionally gifted ones even reaching the Cloud River Realm.

This was an advantage humans simply couldn't match.

Lu Ye's arrival here was coincidental; the Bloodkind youth before him was one who had just matured.

The moment their eyes met, the Bloodkind youth revealed a sinister grin and uttered a hoarse sound, "Human!"

The hoarseness was likely because it was his first time speaking, and he hadn't adapted yet.

As he spoke, he lunged at Lu Ye, his fangs gleaming coldly at the corners of his mouth.

Lu Ye merely watched him coldly, then a flash of blade light appeared.

The Bloodkind youth's sinister grin immediately froze on his face. Lu Ye swayed his body, brushed past him, and plunged directly into the Blood Pool.

Only after Lu Ye's figure vanished did the Bloodkind youth's head roll straight down. His headless body thumped to the ground, eyes wide and unclosing. Perhaps he could never have understood how a human dared to strike him down...

The Blood River seemed to flow endlessly with incredibly viscous blood. Lu Ye hadn't given it much thought before, but upon entering the Blood River this time, he inexplicably recalled the peculiar scene he had witnessed while overlooking the entire Blood Realm.

The Blood Realm's overall shape resembled a gourd, or perhaps the body of a female creature whose head and limbs had been severed.

If that were true, then wouldn't the underground Blood River, traversing and crisscrossing the entire Blood Realm, be the blood vessels within that female creature's body?

And the blood in the river, her very own blood!

So, the so-called Sacred Blood was her essence blood?

His thoughts grew increasingly unsettling. Lu Ye quickly reined in his mind, feeling he was overthinking. After all, the Blood Realm was so vast; how could there be such an enormous creature in this world?

If there were, such a being could effortlessly destroy stars and realms. How could such an existence have met with such a tragic fate?

Suppressing these thoughts, Lu Ye's body sank downwards.

Previously, when he hadn't refined Sacred Blood, he needed to activate the power of his Talent Tree to protect himself when entering the Blood River, as it posed a significant risk to a human body.

But now, possessing powerful sanctity, he no longer required the Talent Tree's protection. He could freely roam the Blood River like any Sacred Seed.

However, if he wished to refine the power within the Blood River for his own use, it would still consume his Talent Tree's fuel reserves.

The Blood Pool entrance was not large, but it was extremely deep. Lu Ye felt as though he had descended thousands, even tens of thousands of feet before finally reaching the bottom. Along the way, he occasionally encountered immature Bloodkind. The closer they were to the exit, the larger their forms, while the further down he went, the smaller they appeared.

He killed every Bloodkind he encountered.

He wouldn't show mercy just because these Bloodkind hadn't fully matured, nor would he be soft-hearted because they hadn't yet shed human blood. Disregard for humanity was ingrained in the Bloodkind, as evidenced by the youth he met at the entrance; despite having just matured, he immediately moved to attack upon seeing Lu Ye.

The Kyushu cultivation world's expedition this time had a strategy of extermination for the Bloodkind, so regardless of gender, age, or youth, any Bloodkind was a target for elimination.

Upon reaching the deepest part of the Blood Pool, Lu Ye's spiritual sense swept through, immediately detecting the numerous blood embryos placed there.

This was clearly no coincidence; it was simply because this location was directly below the Blood Pool entrance, where nearby Bloodkind would place blood embryos from the pool, sinking them to this very spot.

Nearly every Blood Pool entrance had this exact scene directly beneath it.

Without hesitation, he destroyed the blood embryos one by one.

Only then did Lu Ye begin to swim and search within the Blood River.

Sacred Seeds likely frequented the underground Blood River, not necessarily for cultivation. The cultivation of a Sacred Seed was simple; within a few years of birth, their cultivation would reach a profound level. Their frequent visits to the underground Blood River were merely in pursuit of more Sacred Blood and stronger sanctity.

The sanctity of every Sacred Seed generally developed this way. The practice of hunting other Sacred Seeds and seizing their Sacred Blood was not encouraged in the Blood Realm.

Within the Blood River, for several consecutive days, Lu Ye found nothing.

Let alone discovering any magical properties of the underground Blood River, he didn't even find a single drop of Sacred Blood. However, it wasn't surprising upon reflection; if Sacred Blood were truly that easy to find, the number of Sacred Seeds in the Blood Realm wouldn't be so rare.

He took deep breaths of fresh air, his chest heaving.

Confusion, bewilderment, and various emotions surged within him.

Where was this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously surveyed his surroundings, growing even more disoriented.

A single dormitory room?

Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital room now.

And his body... how could there be no injuries at all?

Filled with doubt, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept around the room, finally settling on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance: around seventeen or eighteen years old, and quite handsome.

But the problem was, this wasn't him! Download the Star Reading App for ad-free reading.

He used to be a handsome young man in his twenties with an extraordinary demeanor, who had been working for some time.

Yet now, this appearance looked no older than a high school student's age...

This change left Shi Yu in a daze for a long time.

Don't tell him the surgery was a success...

His body and appearance had both changed; this was no longer a matter of surgery but rather divine art.

He had actually transformed completely into someone else!

Could it be... he had transmigrated?

Besides the mirror at the head of the bed, clearly placed in a spot with bad feng shui, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked them up, and the titles instantly silenced him.

"Essential Beast-Rearing Manual for Novice Breeders"

"Post-Natal Care for Companion Beasts"

"Appraisal Guide for Heterogeneous Beast-Eared Girls"

Shi Yu: ???

The first two book titles seemed normal, but what was up with the last one?

"Cough."

Shi Yu's gaze sharpened, and he reached out, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, a sharp pain shot through his brain, and a flood of memories surged forth.
