Blood Drop Cave, Gaining the Heavenly Book!

Blood Drop Cave, Gaining the Heavenly Book!

Half a month had passed since Bai Ye wreaked havoc in the Myriad Poisons Sect.

After failing to assassinate Poison God that day, Bai Ye had not lingered. He had immediately turned into White Run-Run.

That monster Poison God was immensely powerful. Bai Ye estimated that his strength was likely far greater than what he had shown. If not for Dream Butterfly Escape's ability to swap positions, Bai Ye really would have died there.

Over the past half month, Bai Ye had endured the Seven-Tailed Centipede's deadly poison day and night. Had he not possessed the antidote pill he had received from signing in earlier, he likely would not have lasted this long.

After that day, Bai Ye had left the territory controlled by the Myriad Poisons Sect and flown at full speed, eventually arriving at this desolate mountain range filled with jagged, bizarre rocks.

Looking at the mountain range before him, covered in strange stones, a faint smile appeared on Bai Ye's pale face.

Ten Thousand Bat Cave. He had finally arrived!

The first reason Bai Ye had come to Ten Thousand Bat Cave was the Seven-Tailed Centipede poison within him.

The Seven-Tailed Centipede was a rare and extraordinary creature, and its venom was incomparably lethal.

Those bitten by a Seven-Tailed Centipede would inevitably die from its poison unless they had powerful strength to suppress it.

Bai Ye had to quickly find a secluded place to purge the Seven-Tailed Centipede poison from his body.

Although Thousand Nights of Poison Rain had poisoned a large number of Myriad Poisons Sect members, considering how terrifying Poison God was, his claim that he could cure Thousand Nights of Poison Rain was likely not empty talk.

Once the Myriad Poisons Sect disciples were cured of their poison, they would certainly hunt him down without restraint. When that time came, Bai Ye would have nowhere to run, above or below the heavens.

Ten Thousand Bat Cave was rarely visited, and its countless branching paths meant that almost no one would be able to find him.

There was also something else.

Bai Ye remembered that within Ten Thousand Bat Cave, in Blood Drop Cave, lay the inheritance of Old Man Blackheart from eight hundred years ago, along with a volume of the Heavenly Book.

Naturally, he had to claim such a precious treasure.

With that in mind, Bai Ye did not hesitate and entered Ten Thousand Bat Cave directly.

Inside Ten Thousand Bat Cave, chilling winds blew in gusts, jagged rocks rose everywhere, and the howling wind sounded like endless ghostly wails.

Bai Ye's expression remained unchanged as he continued onward. He encountered many forks in the road before finally seeing an intense radiance ahead.

A straight passage led directly to an unimaginably vast space ahead.

The rocky ceiling was a hundred zhang overhead, while the ground lay ten zhang below. Not far ahead stood a massive glowing boulder, and beyond it, in the depths of the light, was a gigantic abyss that suddenly opened wide.

Even the boulder's brilliant light could not illuminate that abyss. It was like a terrifying beast lurking in the darkness, devouring everything.

Abyss of the Dead!

He had finally reached this place!

Seeing the three large words on the stone monument, Bai Ye felt a flicker of joy.

The Abyss of the Dead was the only route to Old Man Blackheart's inheritance, which lay beneath this abyss.

But wasn't this supposed to be the headquarters of the remaining Blood Refining Hall members?

Why had he not seen anyone after entering?

Bai Ye pondered it briefly, but soon stopped caring. They were merely a group of weaklings, incapable of causing any real trouble.

Deep beneath the endless Abyss of the Dead, Bai Ye's figure slowly emerged.

"Whooo... whooo...!"

The moment he landed, countless dead spirits surged forth, rushing toward Bai Ye through the darkness.

These were souls that had gathered in the Abyss of the Dead over countless years. They could shake one's soul and kill without a trace.

Buzz, buzz!

Before Bai Ye could make a move, the Ancient Demon Sword at his waist began to hum. Then, with a sharp ring, the Demonic Sword flew from its sheath.

A bloody, baleful demonic light instantly swept from the sword, transforming into a massive vortex of blood and malice that enveloped an area dozens of zhang wide.

Like a heaven-devouring beast, the bloody vortex swallowed every soul rushing toward it.

In merely dozens of breaths, the dead spirits in the depths of darkness had vanished completely.

The Demonic Sword returned to Bai Ye's side. Looking at the Ancient Demon Sword, a glint flashed through his eyes. Ever since his battle with Poison God, after the sword had absorbed his essence blood, its spiritual nature had grown ever stronger. It could now act on its own.

After putting the Demonic Sword away again, Bai Ye found a massive dead tree amid the darkness and entered beneath it.

Blood Drop Cave lay below.

Within the gloomy tunnel was a dripping cave entrance. After opening it through the mechanism, Bai Ye finally saw Blood Drop Cave's true appearance.

Inside the massive stone chamber stood two enormous stone statues.

As Bai Ye explored further, he discovered a long-dried skeletal corpse in another side chamber.

So this was Old Man Blackheart!

Bai Ye paid the corpse no mind. No matter how powerful he had been in life, he was dead now.

After another search, Bai Ye found an iron box. If nothing unexpected had happened, the box contained the Joyful Union Sect's supreme treasure, the Joyful Union Bell.

Eight hundred years ago, Old Man Blackheart and Lady Goldblood of the Joyful Union Sect had been lovers and enemies alike.

After putting away the Joyful Union Bell, Bai Ye entered another secret chamber. It was completely empty, but its hard stone walls were covered in densely carved words.

"Volume One of the Heavenly Book."

"When the creation of Heaven and Earth first began, it was said that in the age of chaos, when all was dim and undivided, the sun and moon contained their radiance, Heaven and Earth mingled as one. When the vast expanse changed, the clear and turbid were formed..."

Looking at the words on the stone wall, Bai Ye finally showed a trace of joy.

He had finally found the Heavenly Book!

The Heavenly Book was the general outline of all cultivation techniques in the world. Nearly every cultivation art had been comprehended from it, showing just how terrifying it was.

Upon seeing the general outline of Volume One of the Heavenly Book, Bai Ye saw traces of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao he cultivated within it.

The Taiji Xuanqing Dao had also originated from the Heavenly Book.

"The Heavenly Book is rumored to have five volumes. This is only the first."

"It seems I will need to make plans for the other four volumes as well."

After memorizing Volume One of the Heavenly Book, Bai Ye murmured to himself.

The Heavenly Book was the source of all cultivation techniques in the world and possessed unimaginable power. Once all five volumes were united, one could sweep through the world without rival.

Having obtained the Heavenly Book, one of Bai Ye's goals for this journey had been achieved.

Without further thought, he began dealing with the Seven-Tailed Centipede poison in his body.

Now that he had no lingering concerns, Bai Ye could purge the deadly poison in peace.

While Bai Ye calmly dealt with the poison, the Myriad Poisons Sect was in complete upheaval.

Though the poison of Thousand Nights of Poison Rain was terrifying, Poison God had not earned his reputation for nothing. After much effort, he finally developed an antidote.

Even so, quite a few Myriad Poisons Sect disciples had still died from Thousand Nights of Poison Rain's deadly poison.

This left the Myriad Poisons Sect utterly enraged.

However.

Strangely, the Myriad Poisons Sect did not issue a kill order. It was as though nothing major had happened within the sect, and no one outside knew that the Myriad Poisons Sect had suffered such a drastic upheaval.
