14 Devouring Immortal Evil God's Blood
Yun Che, as advised by Elder Sikong, left New Moon City. He once again started grinding levels and kept on toying with all the profound beasts. Wherever he set his foot in its land, profound beasts started trembling with fear.
All the while, Jasmine in the Sky Poison Pearl was silently watching him butcher all the Profound Beasts. Yun Che was busy all day and at last, he rested for some time and continued on his journey.
It was already night as the light rays dimmed and Jasmine suddenly spoke up.
"Are you interested in seeking more power?" asked Jasmine stoically seemingly in thoughts.
Jasmine had Evil God's Blood in her possession. Many were envious and wanted to grab hold of it so they hunted her down. She even had to sacrifice her body to barely escape.
When she wanted to increase her power, she realized that she can't because if she wished to have Evil God's Profound Veins, she would have to start her cultivation all over again.
Her only purpose was to get power so that she can fulfill taking her revenge on that blonde-haired b1tch. She had to face many hardships to get her hands on the Evil God's Blood. But, now all her hard work turned futile. She was deeply in thoughts of what to do next.
Jasmine had been monitoring Yun Che all this time and she felt Yun Che was the only one she can put her trust on. The only one she can believe aside from her deceased brother in the state she was in.
And also, for her, Yun Che's cultivation is not much higher and with her imparting him some of her arts, she was sure she can speed up his cultivation level even if he had to start from scratch.
"Hmm... It depends on how it is. If I can have someone or something to protect, then I would surely want it. Otherwise, there's no reason for me to have it." Yun Che pondered for a moment and answered.
Hearing Yun Che, her face unconsciously revealed a beautiful smile. She felt right choosing him.
"This princess wants to grant you with powerful veins but it needs someone with high mental endurance," said Jasmine as she took out Evil God's Blood and showed it to Yun Che.
It looked like a tiny drop of water glowing crimson. Aside from the glow it exhibited, it looked nothing more than a drop of blood of a profound beast.
Jasmine then slowly told him all the details of the blood she was holding in her hands. She was looking at Yun Che's eye's searching for any lust for power and not finding it she let out a sigh of relief.
This person is the ideal choice for her. She always believed her intuition and this time put all her hopes on it. And on the other side, she probably trusted Yun Che deep down in her heart.
[Ding!]
[The Immortal Evil God's Blood can help Host attain affinities of all the elements]
[It's not comparable to Host's Heavenly True God Veins but can slightly increase Host's affinity and thereby increase Host's potential]
[Suggesting Host to take upon the offer as Host's current veins can easily devour it]
System notification panel was displayed to Yun Che and he gave a nod to Jasmine.
Looking at Yun Che who was ready to take it, Jasmine directed the blood in her hands to his body. Crimson lines started forming on his body which slowly disappeared. There was a tickling sensation all over his body and Yun Che closed his eyes waiting for the pain to come.
[Intiating merging of Host's Profound Veins with Immortal Evil's Blood]
[Completing 1%....2%...50%....99%....100%]
[Merging Complete!]
Yun Che felt his veins throbbing and enlarging as if to devour the Evil God's Blood. The latter didn't even put up any resistance as if succumbing to fate. The profound energy around Yun Che was seeming observed deep into his veins. His cultivation realm rose rapidly.
[Congrats Host for leveling up to the 8th stage of True Profound Realm!]
[Congrats Host for leveling up to the 9th stage of True Profound Realm!]
[Congrats Host for leveling up to the 10th stage of True Profound Realm!]
After a brief time, Yun Che finally made his breakthrough to the Spirit Profound Realm. He skipped a whole realm under him within a few seconds!
[Congrats Host for leveling up to the 1st stage of Spirit Profound Realm!]
System's notifications kept on ringing in his head and finally, it subsided.
When Yun Che thought the system's notifications finally ended. He was once again flooded with notifications. It was because the stone he collected from the Scarlet Dragon Den was not just an ordinary stone but it was Evil God's Fire Seed!
[Discovered Evil God's Fire Seed in Host's Inventory]
[Fusing Evil God's Fire Seed with Host's Veins....]
[Immunity to Fire Acquired!]
[Host will be immune to any fire attack as if the Host is its parent]
[Element Fire is obedient to Host]
[Congrats Host for leveling up to the 2nd stage of Spirit Profound Realm!]
[Congrats Host for leveling up to the 3rd stage of Spirit Profound Realm!]
....
....
....
[Congrats Host for leveling up to the 1st stage of Earth Profound Realm!]
It didn't even take Yun Che 10 minutes since his veins started devouring the Evil Blood and absorbing Evil Fire Seed and Yun Che already skipped two whole realms made his Breakthrough to Earth Profound Realm!
Yun Che was expecting pain so he gritted his teeth but even after everything was completed, he didn't feel any.
'System, why is it not hurtful as Jasmine said?' asked Yun Che as he was muddled.
[Host has already undergone extreme pain when trying to comprehend the Cultivation Manual]
[The tickling pain which Host felt was the pain inflicted by the Merging]
[The Evil God's Blood isn't even worthy to put Host in pain]
'Oh!..so my pain resistance was already maxed out, ha' thought Yun Che.
Earlier, Jasmine on the side closed her eyes shut and was feeling guilty that Yun Che would have to go through much pain which she can't bear to imagine.
Her heart was clenching hard as if she was the one going through the fusion process. She was under the impression that it would pain like hell and not wanting to hear Yun Che's scream, her feeling of remorse multiplied by each passing second.
But even after some time passed, there were no sounds, doubting the possibility that the fusion process had failed, she gradually opened her eyes.
To her surprise, Yun Che stood in the same position deeply rooted to the ground, not even moving an inch from his earlier position and his cultivation started spiking like crazy. She blinked twice to verify the scene in front of her is real and she's not dreaming.
At last, Yun Che's cultivation base stabilized at the 1st stage of Earth Profound Realm! and he slowly opened his eyes. The world around seemed much more clearer now.
'Evil God's residual spirit told me that one has to restart their cultivation from scratch. Was it just testing me?' doubted Jasmine.
Jasmine waved it off as Yun Che was fine. Her heart felt happy that Yun Che didn't have to go through that mental torture. She approached Yun Che and hurriedly checked whether his body had taken any fatal injuries. Not finding such, she let out a sigh.
Looking at Jasmine losing her composure checking him, Yun Che felt warm in his heart. In this cultivation world, the law of the jungle is followed. He still remembered reading wuxia novels, but in them, there were many who lusted only for power or thought only with their lower halves.
What he didn't expect was even though Jasmine looked like an aloof and cold person, she's always kind inside and he knows it. Yun Che doesn't know where their friendship will end up, but for now, he is happy as long as he got to spend his time with her and cherishes every moment of it.
