Chapter 732 Blood Sea Bodhi
After a long time, the sky was like a piece of azure silk, clear and peaceful.
Under this vast sky.
A white jade boat streaked across the sky like a meteor, rushing towards the unknown front.
Under the white jade treasure ship was an endless blood-red ocean world.
The blood-red ocean, at this moment, was like a huge blood-red crystal stone, and like gray silk, gently undulating in the breeze.
Above the blood sea, there was a layer of thick fog, which now covered the blood-red ocean.
Like a mysterious veil, it enveloped this area of water.
Ye Yang, Zhi Tianji and Queen Yama stood quietly at the bow, their eyes penetrating the thick fog and looking at the vast sea.
A trace of anxiety and uncertainty flashed in Queen Yama's eyes.
There was a hint of urgency in her tone.
"Where is the Jiumodan?"
As the main target of this trip, Jiumodan was of great importance and could not afford any mistakes.
Several people rushed all the way, overcoming numerous difficulties and obstacles.
All they did was to track down the trace of Jiumodan.
Bai Yubao was traveling in the ocean world on a boat. Not only Ye Yang and Queen Yanluo were confused for a while.
Even Zhi Tianji narrowed his eyes slightly.
Those deep eyes were like two bottomless springs, as if sensing something.
After a moment, he slowly stretched out his hand, and his slightly rough fingers gently passed through the air.
As if plucking some invisible strings.
Then, he grabbed the air, like catching a smart butterfly from the air.
He grabbed a drop of blood lightly.
This drop of blood was crystal clear, as big as an egg, and shining with golden light.
Like a ruby stained with blood, after being caught in his hand, it rolled back and forth on the white feather fan.
After a while.
The blood bead shone brightly.
The light was as dazzling as a small sun, dispelling the surrounding fog a little.
"Where is it!"
As he waved the feather fan in his hand.
The blood bead suddenly burst into dazzling light, hovering in the air, guiding the way forward.
After receiving the information confirmed by Zhi Tianji, the anxiety in the hearts of Ye Yang and Queen Yanluo was slightly relieved.
"The direction pointed by the blood bead is exactly where Jiumodan is. Please follow me, fellow Taoists."
His voice was steady and powerful, like a huge bell.
It spread clearly in this silent and mysterious atmosphere.
The next moment.
The blood bead seemed to have gained new life and power, like a burning meteor, rushing forward.
As it rushed forward, it dragged a gorgeous blood light.
The bow broke through the thick fog on the sea like a veil, like a sharp blade cutting through soft silk.
It sailed towards a mysterious place.
As the distance to the destination gradually shortened.
The surrounding environment gradually became unusual.
The fog that was originally as thick as substance began to become thinner.
Instead, the sunshine was bright and clear.
It was not huge, just like the glimmer in the morning light, soft and obscure.
But as we moved forward, the sun's light became brighter and brighter, gradually dyeing the whole world into a light golden color, giving people a sense of openness.
Not long after, under the guidance of the blood beads, everyone came to a secluded and secluded place like a paradise.
This place is completely different from the outside world.
Beyond the endless blood sea waves, there is a huge reef, which is red all over, winding outward and reaching the sky.
It is huge and does not look like a reef, but more like a piece of land.
In addition to this magnificent and huge reef.
The whole space is filled with a fresh fragrance.
The fragrance is fresh and pleasant, as if it is there and not there.
Like the fragrance of a mountain spring, or the sweet smell of flowers blooming in spring, it lingers in everyone's nose, making people feel relaxed and happy.
At this moment, you can see many strange-shaped elves moving lightly in the bushes, in various shapes.
Some are like small and exquisite fish, with colorful lights flashing on their bodies, swimming happily in the bushes.
Some are like transparent jellyfish, with slightly glowing bodies, dancing in the air.
Others have transparent wings, similar to butterflies, playing among flowers and plants at this moment.
It adds a bit of agility and liveliness to this quiet place.
There are also various precious herbs scattered around.
"This is a really good place, the spiritual energy is as rich as substance, no wonder that Jiumo Dan regards this place as a retreat."
Ye Yang looked around, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Because he found a lot of precious herbs here.
Some emit a faint fluorescence, which is like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
Some emit a rich and mellow fragrance, floating in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"With so many precious medicinal materials, maybe we can find some rare treasures."
With the arrival of the treasure ship, the air around seemed to stagnate slightly.
The elves who were originally shuttling seemed to sense some danger and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Ye Yang was startled and stopped immediately, holding the sword in his hand vigilantly.
At the same time, Zhi Tianji and Queen Yanluo also noticed something strange and took a defensive posture.
"This place looks peaceful, but it actually hides mysteries. Don't be careless."
Zhi Tianji said solemnly, waving the feather fan in his hand gently, releasing a gentle force.
The bright blood bead suddenly accelerated and finally landed next to an ancient herb.
This herb is particularly different from the others.
Its rhizome is thick, with a silver luster on the edge, and the roots are deeply rooted in the soil, surrounded by circles of strange halos.
The bulb is nearly spherical, with a purple-brown film on the outside, like a blood-colored umbrella spreading out, the flowers blooming brilliantly, and the roots blooming with extraordinary brilliance, like fireworks blooming.
"This... Is this the legendary Netherworld Bianhua?"
Ye Yang seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, it is the Netherworld Bianhua. It can not only increase people's blood, but also create a blessed land for the monks of the Netherworld Yellow Spring. It is an extremely rare treasure."
"It seems that our trip was not in vain."
Zhi Tianji said with a smile.
"The reason why this Sky-Peering White Feather Fan fell around the other side of the Netherworld is that the Jiumodan must be not far away."
The three of them nodded in understanding.
"In that case, we will wait here patiently."
The Queen of Yama said softly.
"What the Queen said is exactly what I want."
Zhi Tianji nodded, and then carefully took out a small and exquisite jade talisman from his arms.
The jade talisman was warm in texture and engraved with complex runes.
Zhi Tianji chanted the spell softly.
The spell flowed slowly in the air. In an instant, the jade talisman emitted a faint light.
This light gradually spread like a soft veil, slowly covering the bodies of the three people.
As the light gradually dissipated, their figures seemed to blend into the surrounding environment and gradually became blurred.
Finally, they were completely hidden in the air, as if they had never appeared on this land.
"This is the Hidden Heaven Hiding Talisman, which can allow us to temporarily avoid the perception of the outside world."
Zhi Tianji explained in a low voice.
"But everyone must remember not to move around at will, otherwise it will be very easy for that Jiumodan to find us and expose our whereabouts."
"Understood."
The Queen Mother Yama and Ye Yang responded at the same time, their voices as subtle as the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
So the three of them held their breath and stood quietly beside the Netherworld Bianhua.
Everything around them seemed particularly quiet.
At this moment, time seemed to slow down.
Time passed day by day.
On the first day, there was no unusual movement except for a few unknown small animals passing by lightly occasionally.
The small animals shuttled through the grass, and their agile figures briefly broke the tranquility and quickly returned to normal.
The second day was the same, no one was seen, only a depressing atmosphere seemed to permeate the air.
It was like the calm before the storm, like a heavy cloud accumulating in the heart, making people a little breathless.
Until the evening of the third day, when the last ray of sunlight sprinkled on the Netherworld Bian like a golden silk thread.
A slight sound suddenly came from the distant sea of blood.
This sound was like thunder in the quiet environment, instantly breaking the long-lasting tranquility.
(II)
Ye Yang immediately became alert, his pupils turned slightly, and two golden-red sword lights appeared in his eyes, and then the sword light flashed and disappeared, and his eyes suddenly became as sharp as an eagle.
Ye Yang stared closely at the direction where the sound came from.
Suddenly, he found that a vague figure seemed to appear in the distant sea of blood.
The figure was surrounded by blood and covered his original appearance, making it difficult to see his specific appearance.
And at the moment this person appeared, the air around him became freezing cold.
A chill attacked them like a substance, as if to freeze their blood.
The originally calm sky was instantly covered with dark clouds and shrouded in darkness, and the surrounding herbs shivered in the cold wind.
"The target has appeared!"
Ye Yang vigilantly grasped the Red Maple Sword and the Yin Sui Knife, and his eyes swept around like lightning.
As the figure got closer and closer, a sinister laugh came from the darkness.
The laugh seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, making people shudder.
In the endless sea of blood, the bright moon hung high, casting a cold light, as if covering this bloody land with a layer of silver gauze.
Under this dreamlike moonlight, a man descended like a banished immortal.
He came across the dragon, with a sturdy body, wearing a red and black hooded monk's robe, and a string of emerald jade beads hanging on his chest.
The dragon under his crotch was even more agile, emitting a blood-red light.
Each scale was like a gem polished with blood, flashing a strange luster in the moonlight.
Although he was dressed in monk's robes, he sat on the dragon, like a king dominating the world.
He exuded an extremely powerful aura, which spread around like a substance, making people feel awe.
The next moment.
He suddenly stretched out his hand.
The arm stretched out from the monk's robe, strong and powerful, with bulging muscles.
His movements were swift and decisive, not elsewhere.
Instead, he grabbed the head of the dragon under his crotch and twisted it hard.
His movements were as fast as lightning, directly grabbing the blood dragon's head and twisting it hard. Only a "click" sound was heard, and the blood dragon struggled painfully for a few times and then stopped moving.
The man lowered his head without hesitation, opened his mouth and swallowed the bright red blood flowing out of the fracture.
With a shrill dragon roar, the dragon's head was forcefully twisted off by him.
Blood spurted out from the dragon's broken neck like a fountain, falling into the sea of blood and splashing into blood flowers.
The man was unmoved at all. He opened his mouth wide and drank the dragon's blood to his heart's content.
The dragon's blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, dyeing the monk's robe on his chest red.
As the dragon's blood entered his belly, a powerful wave of blood energy erupted from this man's body.
It was as if his body was a bottomless abyss, constantly absorbing this power, and his cultivation level increased a lot at this moment.
Ye Yang and others were shocked when they watched this scene in the hidden magic circle.
"This person is Jiumodan, he is indeed cruel."
Even though they were far apart at this moment, they could still sense the strength of the other party.
It can be seen from this that the other party's cultivation level must also be unfathomable. "
Zhi Tianji looked solemn.
"Yes, this person is indeed Jiumodan."
He felt it slightly, and a trace of worry appeared on his brow.
"The opponent's cultivation level is only one step away from that of Yuanshen Taoist."
Everyone exchanged meaningful looks with each other.
The Empress of Yama also spoke.
"It seems that this person is indeed about to break through."
"The blood dragon should be a strange species among the blood dragons. It was born bathed in blood. It has strong blood, but it has no power to fight back in front of him."
"This Jiumodan seems to have mastered some method that can enhance its own strength by swallowing special blood."
After a short but intense discussion, everyone reached a consensus.
"In this case, we will stay put for the time being and wait and see what happens. When he is most vulnerable when he hits the Taoist realm, it will be the best time for us to take action."
Zhi Tianji said in a deep voice.
"Yes, when he breaks through to the Taoist realm, the results of the Dharma in his body will be contaminated with the Taoist charm, and the quality will rise several levels."
Ye Yang tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
"When he gets close, let's observe first and then make plans."
In the sea of blood, after Jiumodan drank the dragon's blood, he held the dragon's body in one hand and swam towards the shore.
Every time he swam, the sea of blood would set off a wave, which would hit the rocks on the shore with a deafening sound.
As he approached the shore, a strong sense of oppression hit his face, making Ye Yang and others almost breathless.
However, the Hidden Heaven Hidden Talisman that Zhi Tianji took out was very effective.
Even Jiumodan, who was about to break through to the Taoist realm, didn't notice anything.
This made Ye Yanggao look at Zhitianji a few times.
A few days later, the situation above the sea of blood changed.
The originally calm water surface suddenly began to ripple, and then became choppy, as if some powerful existence was about to awaken.
In the past few days, Jiumodan often sits cross-legged, flying above the blood sea, absorbing the blood energy of the blood sea.
He could clearly feel that the energy and blood in his body were flowing at an unprecedented speed.
Every drop of blood is filled with unprecedented vitality.
He knew that this was a sign of a breakthrough and that his long-term efforts would finally pay off.
"Finally... finally this moment has arrived!"
Jiumodan thought silently in his heart, closed his eyes tightly, and concentrated on feeling all the changes around him.
As his will gradually concentrated.
The next moment.
The entire sea of blood seemed to be responding to the determination deep in his heart that he longed for a breakthrough.
In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder and lightning, as if even the heavens were shaken by this power.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light burst out from Jiumodan's body, instantly illuminating the entire sea area.
He took a deep breath and then opened his arms as if to embrace the whole world.
At this moment, his whole body seemed to melt into the blood.
It turned into a dazzling huge blood bodhi, suspended in mid-air.
This Blood Bodhi not only emits a soft but extremely strong light, but also continuously absorbs the endless energy around it.
Every time it is absorbed, its volume increases and its light becomes more dazzling.
As the Blood Bodhi continues to expand, the surrounding space seems to begin to twist and deform, forming circles of ripples that spread outward.
The entire space seemed to be thrown into a lake filled with boulders, turbulent and restless.
The endless energy formed air currents visible to the naked eye in the air.
These air currents are like rushing rivers, whirling and roaring around the Blood Bodhi, making waves of low roaring sounds.
"The other party is trying to break through to the Taoist realm."
Ye Yang, Zhi Tianji and Empress Yama were in the hidden magic circle, staring at the magical Blood Bodhi with both wonder and worry in their hearts.
"The Blood Bodhi transformed from Jiumodan contains such powerful power, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."
Empress Yama frowned slightly and said softly.
Ye Yang and Zhi Tianji looked at each other, nodded slightly, and looked solemn.
"Such anomalies may inevitably attract more coveters. We must find a way as soon as possible."
And in the sea of blood.
At this crucial moment of great change and uncertainty, Jiumodan suddenly opened his eyes.
He took a slow breath, and the breath seemed to come from the abyss between heaven and earth.
With this inhalation, the surrounding air seemed to be pulled, creating a subtle vortex, gathering towards him.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, holding their breath.
The majestic figure of Jiumodan appeared in the blood bodhi again, reborn from the fire.
But this time, he was no longer a blood bodhi figure.
Instead, with a click, a crack appeared on the blood bodhi, and then a huge Dharma image with a height of one hundred feet, three heads and six eyes, green face and fangs emerged.
This Dharma image had a solemn face, standing between heaven and earth, with arms raised up, all in the shape of supporting the sky.
A huge blood-qi wing spread out from behind, giving people a sense of inviolability.
This Dharma image was like a towering sacred mountain, standing proudly between heaven and earth, as if to take this sea of blood under its protection.
It was like the arrival of an ancient god. (End of this chapter)
