the blood cell

After walking out of the cave they found that a small group of wild beasts had already gathered around the cave and more were on their way. They knew they couldn't stay here any longer, so they urged the Enforcers team to move fast and cleared the path ahead. After slaughtering a  path through the wild beasts they were close to the safe zone, where the Enforcement team had parked their hover vehicle. 

Two of the Enforcers had remained back to guard the vehicle.

The Old doctor asked Sam in private before leaving.

" Tell me what you wanted to know ...."

Sam's curiosity was triggered and he asked "  I am new to the world of cultivation... so I don't know much about it. But according to my knowledge the Church of Blood God is considered an evil organization and is banned in almost all of the planets of the galaxy. Why didn't you just let me kill that woman and you could have asked the help of the Alliance government. You could also explain to them about the presence of the bloody church on the planet.... wouldn't they inform the intergalactic peace keeping force and the problem will be completely dealt with...."

The doctor had a weird look on her face then she responded.

" It is the Alliance government themselves that has let the bloody church run amok on the planet. I understand the fact that you are too young and not much knowledgeable... So I will give you advice, don't  believe in the outer appearances .... I don't have the time to explain the details to you, the night has not ended yet and it is not safe here. If you want to know the truth, use this and search for yourself...."

Then she threw something towards Sam. After catching the object he saw that it was a Sky watch and a rolled up piece of paper. The sky watch was completely different from what he had got , It was bigger and had an entirely different design.

Sam " There is one more thing, what is the difference between... someone who has entered the True martial realm naturally and some one who entered it through other aids. "

The doctor sighed " go to the node called Kings land and search for the darkwitch. I will answer your questions there. We should get going now, this place is really not safe. "

Sam chatted with the doctor for some more before saying goodbye, he had  already received a new channel to gain information so he didn't bother with asking more questions. But before they could depart a Level 2 spirit beast arrived, Sam was more than happy to lend a hand and distracted the beast. The hover vehicle departed without any delay and Sam who was distracting the beast also escaped without dealing with the beast, after some time.

Before he went back, he was in a dilemma,  After the red haired woman was teleported away the Altar lost its aura and became an ordinary non living thing. The old doctor has mentioned to leave it be, as she said she had a way to deal with the Blood gods church.

But Sam had another thing with him that belonged to the bloody church. It was the blood cell which was sealed by the shackles of Maya. He knew this thing might be a hot potato, so he wanted to deal with it. The funny thing was that after the blood cell was sealed it just floated there without trying to fight.

But when Sam took a look, he began to have this irresistible urge to eat it. 

It was as if his body wanted to instinctively consume it. He had the feeling that if he consumed that blood cell he will become immortal, as if he could live forever.

But the Evil sword acted in time by vibrating and producing a sword hymn which freed him from that state. He had this vague feeling that if he did consume the blood cell he might really gain an immortal body but he might not remain himself but become a slave for the blood cell.

Sam didn't know how many in the world would love to become such a slave. Even having a longer life was the dream for many, much less immortality.

He didn't have to indulge on the dilema more, as a mouth appeared out of nowhere like a blackhole and absorbed the blood cell into it. It took Sam some time to come out of the shock, but he didn't know what to say anymore after realizing what had happened.

Of course the culprit was the black statue, which has been keeping quiet for all this while. Since he knew he couldn't even communicate with the black statue properly, he didn't care. Not that the statue would listen to him even if he was to communicate with it .

But before he could think of anything else he could feel the new energy that was rushing into his body. It started getting absorbed into his  blood fast and he felt like his blood was completely transforming. The transformation didn't last for a long time, it ended quickly, he could feel that his bodily strength increased by at least 50% and all his sensory capabilities had also increased drastically. The more dramatic change was in his healing and regenerative power.

All the injuries that he had received from the previous fight were completely healed within  seconds, His healing power had improved to about a 100%. That was also not all he could feel the Ether energy more distinctively now, which could greatly aid in his cultivation .
