The Blood-Colored Crystal in the Sea of Consciousness, My Lord

Thinking of this, Zhou Mu's eyes flickered as he glanced at the fierce collision between the Nine Yang Heaven-Burning Seal and the layers of Earth Dao protective shields.

Each collision between the crimson flames and the earthen-yellow aura unleashed scorching waves of air, sending sand and dust swirling through the sky.

Judging from the current situation, Profound Earth Mountain can still hold out.

The other Nascent Soul Realm experts beside the young cultivator had not yet made a move.

This is a perfect opportunity to contact them directly!

He immediately immersed his Divine Sense into his Sea of Consciousness of Sea of Consciousness, where a blood-red crystal floated, flickering with a dark red light.

Every time Zhou Mu saw this crystal, he felt as if he were in another world.

His Spirit Root was actually quite ordinary, only Mid-Grade Spirit Root.

Back then, he barely managed to join a top sect with a Nascent Soul Realm stage cultivator by virtue of his Mid-Grade Spirit Root.

However, with so many disciples in the sect, and having neither background nor backing, the Cultivation Resources he received were pitifully small.

Through the changing seasons, he cultivated diligently day and night, but he only barely managed to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably only ever be a Foundation Establishment cultivator until his lifespan ends, with the Golden Core stage a distant prospect.

Zhou Mu was naturally unwilling to accept this, so he bid farewell to the mountain gate and traveled to various places in search of fortuitous opportunities.

Within the sect, things were alright; with the sect's rules in place, he didn't encounter too much trouble.

But after leaving the sect, his situation changed drastically, and he experienced several near-death experiences.

Finally, while being chased by his enemies, he rushed into a desolate mountain and stumbled upon a Ruins left behind by the Blood Devil Hall a million years ago.

There, he obtained the blood-red crystal.

At that time, Zhou Mu was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm and didn't know much about the Bloodthirst Tide, let alone the Blood Devil Hall and the Blood Devil Race.

However, this crimson crystal is a rare treasure, capable of directly connecting with the Blood Devil Race.

Through his interactions with the Blood Devil Race, he gradually learned the ins and outs of the Bloodthirst Tide and the existence of the "Blood Devil Great Art".

Zhou Mu naturally knew that the Blood Devil Great Art was against the natural order, but after learning about the power of this Cultivation Method, Zhou Mu was still overjoyed.

For him, his lifespan was almost over, so all other things like divine justice, Heavenly Dao punishment, and karmic retribution were utter nonsense!

Since I'm going to die anyway, as long as I can break through to the Golden Core, I'll have already gained three hundred years of lifespan for free!

Not to mention, if one cultivates the Blood Devil Great Art to a high level, one can transform into the Blood Devil Clan, and upon leaving the Canglan Realm in the future, one will naturally be unaffected by the karma of this realm!

Therefore, Zhou Mu chose to cultivate the Blood Devil Great Art without the slightest hesitation.

After entering the sect, the first thing Zhou Mu did was to drag out all the cultivators he had previously made enemies of and eat them all.

Having tasted the benefits of the Blood Devil Great Art, Zhou Mu almost lost his mind and even planned to start directly from the relatively simple mortal towns, absorbing large amounts of Essence Blood to improve his cultivation.

However, through communication with the Blood Devil Race on the other side of the Crimson Crystal, Zhou Mu understood that the reason why the Bloodthirst Tide a million years ago failed was because it caused too much trouble.

Even if the cultivator who ultimately launched the Bloodthirst Tide had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, he still had to perish in the face of the encirclement and killing by numerous Spirit Transformation from the three major Immortal Sect Holy Lands, and his soul was even destroyed!

To act so arrogantly before possessing absolute power is undoubtedly courting death.

Therefore, Zhou Mu eventually calmed down and decided to act in the shadows, disguising himself as a normal Evil Cultivator and Bandit Cultivator, and slowly improve his cultivation by refining Blood Pills and spirit pills.

Later, when Zhou Mu's cultivation broke through to the Golden Core Realm, he established the Blood Devil Hall for the sake of convenience.

By simplifying the "Blood Devil Great Art" and some of its control techniques, Zhou Mu gained an extremely high degree of control over the Blood Devil Hall.

He also suppressed the ambitions of many Evil Cultivator cultivators in the Blood Devil Hall, strictly forbidding them from causing any major disturbances.

Even now.

According to Zhou Mu's original plan, he intended to wait until he broke through to the mid-to-late stage of the Spirit Transformation stage, and then wait for the deputy hall masters and the Blood Devil Lord in the Blood Devil Hall to also break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

By then, they will be able to sweep across the entire Canglan Realm and begin implementing their plan to devour it.

One can imagine what would happen if he devoured all the living beings in the entire Canglan Realm.

Spirit Transformation Perfection is a certainty, and there's even a very high chance of breaking through to the Spirit Transformation in one fell swoop and entering the Void Refinement stage!

By then, he should be able to fully transform into the Blood Devil Clan and directly enter the Blood Devil Realm.

A Blood Devil Race at the Void Refinement Realm is considered a high-ranking member in the Blood Devil Realm; the future looks incredibly promising.

Unfortunately, he didn't know where things went wrong; the plan wasn't even finished before he was discovered!

Even with so many Nascent Soul True Lords on Profound Earth Mountain, they still haven't discovered his identity.

Not to mention his identity, even his true strength was undetectable to many Nascent Soul True Lords!

He really didn't know where he had given himself away!

Zhou Mu took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.

His Divine Sense gently touched the blood-red crystal.

Instantly, mysterious and complex blood-red patterns appeared on the crystal.

The patterns exuded an eerie aura, possessing a terrifying power, like a hungry beast slowly opening its blood-red maw, its dark fluctuations rippling outwards in circles within the Sea of Consciousness.

As the crystal was activated, a clear, languid male voice came through it, its tone indifferent. "Oh, it's Little Zhou Mu. What is it?"

Zhou Mu said nervously, "My lord, my identity has been discovered. There are several very powerful Nascent Soul True Lord who want to kill me!"

The male voice paused for a moment, then rang out with a hint of anger. "Useless! How many times have I told you?! You must be careful in your actions! Why were you discovered?!"

Zhou Mu felt quite aggrieved and quickly said, "I don't know either. I was hiding perfectly well in Profound Earth Mountain..."

He recounted in detail what had happened to him that day.

He then shared his speculation that the white-robed youth and the several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators came from the human race of the Spirit Realm.

However, out of personal desire, Zhou Mu did not reveal that he desperately craved the flesh and blood of the white-robed youth.

The man on the other side of the crimson crystal listened quietly.

Only after Zhou Mu finished speaking did he slowly open his mouth, his tone tinged with uncertainty. "Strange... Sending someone from the Spirit Realm to a lower plane is extremely difficult and requires an astonishing amount of resources. Even though our Blood Devil Realm is half a level higher than your Canglan Realm, the Blood Devil Race in the Spirit Realm still have to pay a heavy price to enter our Blood Devil Realm. How could the humans of the Spirit Realm be willing to pay such a price? Moreover... you never showed any abnormality before, and the two Spirit Transformation forces in the Eastern Domain that have connections with the Spirit Realm didn't know that the Blood Devil Hall had a successor, so they couldn't possibly have contacted the Spirit Realm... No, given the Blood Devil Hall's current strength, those two Spirit Transformation forces alone would be enough to uproot the Blood Devil Hall. There's no need for them to go through all this trouble and send cultivators from the Spirit Realm."

At this point, the man paused, a hint of confusion in his voice. "Moreover, according to your description, that Nascent Soul Perfection Fire Dao cultivator was actually able to fight against more than ten Nascent Soul Realm True Lord single-handedly, including two Nascent Soul Perfection? Such strength... is probably quite rare even in the Spirit Realm. The human race wouldn't send such a genius to deal with you."

As Zhou Mu listened to the man's words, his expression changed continuously.

He asked incredulously, "... My lord, do you mean these cultivators are from the Canglan Realm? But I've been wandering the Eastern Domain for many years and have never seen or even heard of this force?"

The man opposite the crimson crystal remained silent for a few moments, then chuckled, his tone now tinged with interest. "I will keep a close eye on your situation. If you encounter any unavoidable danger, simply merge your Divine Sense into the crystal, and I will intervene to help you."

Hearing this, Zhou Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a sense of relief, "Thank you, sir!"

Although he didn't know just how strong the Blood Devil Race on the other side of the Crimson Crystal was.

However, through their previous exchanges, it became clear that this man's insights and understanding of the Great Dao were beyond the reach of even those who had reached the Nascent Soul Perfection.

Furthermore, the Blood Devil Race's own plane is more powerful than the Canglan Realm, so the strength at the top level is naturally stronger, and there are even experts at the Void Refinement Realm within the Blood Devil Realm!

Zhou Mu guessed that this Blood Devil Race might be a powerful figure in the Void Refinement Realm.

Having received the Blood Devil Race's guarantee, Zhou Mu naturally no longer had any worries.

His Divine Sense withdrew from his Sea of Consciousness and turned his attention back to the battle.

The power of that crimson gold seal was quite terrifying, but Profound Earth Mountain itself was skilled in defensive Law Technique.

With the combined efforts of more than ten Nascent Soul True Lords, they managed to barely achieve a stalemate with the crimson-gold seal.

Although the crimson gold seal was still slowly pressing down, the speed at which it broke through the light barrier was far less rapid than before.

Zhou Mu was very relaxed at the moment. With that important figure from the Blood Devil Race backing him up, he didn't have to worry about his life at all. Instead, he was in the mood to watch the show.
