Blood Feeding Secret Method: The Rebellious Immortal Alliance's Situation

After hearing about Lu Chengfeng's plight, Xiao Chen felt some sympathy and emotion.

You could say he had bad luck, since he somehow managed to acquire cultivation aptitude far exceeding that of ordinary people.

But even if you say he had good fortune, he still encountered this outcome.

If this had happened in the Southern Domain, the outcome might have been completely different.

Let alone something as trivial as helping manage the Spirit Field, even Golden Core True Person could easily establish their own sect.

If you offer a few simple conditions, nearby cultivation Lineage will voluntarily offer their Spirit Field to you.

Even in the Eastern Domain, Golden Core True Person is considered a pillar of strength.

In particular, such outstanding qualifications make it very easy for them to receive offers from various sects.

Unfortunately, Lu Chengfeng was reborn into the New Cultivation World.

Even though he successfully broke through to the Golden Core under harsh conditions, he was not taken seriously by the Gui Yun Sect because he did not join a blessed land early on.

No matter your qualifications, if you're a rogue cultivator, you can be bullied at will.

As long as someone is falsely accused of Rebellious Cultivator, and put on Wanted Notice, even white can be turned into black, and there is absolutely no room for reversal.

Because under such circumstances, if one doesn't join the Rebellious Immortal Alliance for help...

He would probably be apprehended very soon if he relied solely on his own abilities.

But if someone like Lu Chengfeng actually joins the Rebellious Immortal Alliance, then the previous accusations and slanders will be confirmed, and the falsehood will become the truth.

Under the rules established in the Holy City, such a situation is practically unsolvable.

In the end, all one could do was sigh in their heart: the lives of rogue cultivators in the New Cultivation World are indeed miserable!

"Sigh~, I didn't expect that after all these years, there's still no improvement whatsoever."

Xiao Chen sighed softly, looking up at the sky as if reminiscing. "Back when I was young..."

"Sigh, let's not talk about it."

Adhering to the principle that the more you say, the more mistakes you make, and the less you say, the better, he deliberately obscured his origins.

He sighed again and shook his head, "All the blessed lands are cut from the same cloth, and the Holy City is even more indifferent. It's truly disappointing and disheartening."

"I used to think that the Rebellious Immortal Alliance was just a bunch of Outer Dao."

"But now I understand more and more why so many cultivators have stood up to act as Resistor."

Xiao Chen spoke those last two sentences with genuine emotion.

After hearing about the many impacts of this Great Purge...

Especially after learning about the troubles encountered by people of different identities and cultivation levels, such as Zhang Cunfu, Master Cai, and the Shattered Gold True Monarch.

I have truly felt this deeply; many cultivators have been driven to the opposite side by the Holy City and the various blessed lands.

The so-called Great Purge did indeed cause considerable trouble for the Rebellious Immortal Alliance.

However, at the same time, the Holy City and various blessed lands also took the opportunity to plunder and even seize massive amounts of resources.

During this period, they used Great Purge to frame and eliminate enemies in countless ways.

If Xiao Chen hadn't helped Zhang Cunfu, if Master Cai hadn't given up a large portion of his ancestral property, if Shattered Gold True Monarch Suijin hadn't possessed such exceptional Dao Arts that he could have received the sect's secret protection.

They probably won't survive this ordeal.

Xiao Chen even suspected that for most cultivators in the New Cultivation World...

The so-called Rebellious Immortal Alliance, the so-called Spirit Thief, the evil deeds they committed, the losses they caused.

Even if we add them all up, can they really match even half the harm caused by Great Purge?

Hmm, even half seems like too much.

"By the way, I just heard them say that you've practiced the Blood Feeding Secret Method?"

Xiao Chen changed the subject and began to ask the key question, "This doesn't sound like anything good."

"Could it be Demonic Secret Methods?"

"Have you joined the Rebellious Immortal Alliance?"

"Could it be that they forced you to do this?"

"Or is there some reason I don't know about?"

Normally, cultivation techniques are extremely important secrets for any cultivator.

If Xiao Chen had asked directly from the start, it might have made Lu Chengfeng hesitate or become wary.

However, his question, tinged with concern, seemed perfectly normal.

Lu Chengfeng combined the previous few vague sentences with his own thoughts.

He thought he had met a senior who had also been persecuted by the Holy City, leading to the decline of his family, and who had recently emerged from Nascent Soul.

Hearing that he seemed to have a misunderstanding about the Rebellious Immortal Alliance, I immediately felt anxious.

He hurriedly explained, "Senior, please don't misunderstand. I did this voluntarily; no one forced me."

"It is true that the Blood Feeding Secret Method originated from demonic Devil Cultivation Method, but no innocent bystanders were harmed during the practice."

As he spoke, he explained the cause and effect of the matter in great detail.

To explain the situation clearly, he also revealed what he knew about the structure of the Rebellious Immortal Alliance.

When Lu Chengfeng was first put on the Wanted Notice, he was filled with grief and indignation, followed by despair and hopelessness.

He even considered finding the culprit from the Gui Yun Sect him Mutual Destruction.

Unfortunately, he didn't even know who was trying to harm him.

Fortunately, the Rebellious Immortal Alliance learned of the situation in time and contacted him, taking him to a temporary Stronghold.

They told Lu Chengfeng, "Your talent is exceptional, far surpassing that of 99% of the rogue cultivators in this wasteland!"

"It would be such a pity if he died like this."

"Since you've already been accused of 'colluding with the Rebellious Immortal Alliance,' why don't you actually join us?"

"We can provide you with cultivation resources, help you evade the Gui Yun Sect's pursuit, and perhaps even grant you the power of revenge."

At that point, Lu Chengfeng already had no other choice.

Hearing the hope of revenge was like a drowning person seeing a lifeline; he immediately nodded in agreement.

Of course, he subsequently underwent a series of overt and covert investigations and tests before gaining the trust of the Rebellious Immortal Alliance.

Even so, in order to prevent the arrest of one person from leading to the downfall of the rest.

The Rebellious Immortal Alliance employs a fairly strict separation mechanism.

Within each Stronghold, only a Nascent Soul True Lord can have access to the complete list of members.

The remaining members can only get to know a select few people when needed.

Taking Lu Chengfeng himself as an example, although he is Golden Core cultivator, he can be considered a core member because he has successfully cultivated the Blood Feeding Secret Method.

However, he had only met fewer than ten Golden Core cultivator and fewer than twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and if he went further back, he only knew True Lord Su Bai and True Lord Tuo Jin.

Even if they are caught and taken back, they won't be able to confess anything more.

Moreover, according to his understanding, if you go down to the next level, some Foundation Establishment Cultivator act as informants to provide intelligence may have known only one Golden Core cultivator came to collect information for a long time.

"You mean that only those who successfully cultivate the Blood Feeding Secret Method become core members?"

Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised. "So, this method has become very widespread?"

That doesn't make sense.

Firstly, if many people are cultivating, where exactly do they find so much Blood Sha Qi to satisfy their cultivation needs?

Don't be fooled by the seemingly small amount of Sha Qi emanating from Lu Chengfeng; it's actually quite difficult to condense.

Secondly, if this kind of thing is already very common, why isn't it mentioned in the Cai Family's collection of books?

Is knowledge so fragmented within the New Cultivation World?

Or is it that the Cai Family's book collection actually had omissions?

"No, even within the Rebellious Immortal Alliance, very few people possess the Blood Feeding Secret Method."

Lu Chengfeng shook his head, his expression somewhat complicated. "Because once you embark on this path, it's a nine-out-of-ten chance of death."

"Therefore, whether or not to cultivate the Blood Feeding Secret Method is entirely up to the cultivator's own choice."

"Every so often, the Rebellious Immortal Alliance organizes an attempt."

"Take all the Golden Core cultivators who voluntarily practice the Blood Feeding Secret Method to the Blood Pool Secret Realm."

"From the very beginning, when we inquire about your willingness to go to the entrance of the Secret Realm, and even before you officially enter the Secret Realm, we will clearly explain the dangers of doing so and give you a chance to change your mind."

"I hesitated at the time, but only by doing this could I gain the power to take revenge."

At this point, Lu Chengfeng paused for a moment, seemingly recalling his experience in the Secret Realm: "That time, there were 105 of us."

"Because three people arrived at the Secret Realm and then suddenly regretted it."

"Actually, I can understand them, because just looking at the entrance to the Blood Pool Secret Realm and smelling that strong and disgusting stench of blood will give people a strong sense of unease."

"Once inside, that feeling became even stronger."

"I immediately began cultivating according to the mental techniques taught by my predecessors, but I still soon began to experience all sorts of hallucinations."

"One moment I felt like an executioner, the next I felt like I was on a battlefield, and then I felt like I was acting as a Bandit Cultivator... and then I passed out."

I don't know how many hours had passed.

"When I first woke up, I found that only about ten people were still persisting in their cultivation."

"Half of them are still unconscious, while the other half have already died."

"As instructed before I entered, I extracted the Essence Blood of two of them as essential raw materials for the Blood Feeding Secret Method."

"After waking up from the second coma, there were still six people continuing their cultivation."

"The third time there were three people left, but the fourth time it was just me and another little girl."

"There were probably two more times when I lost consciousness, maybe 30% of the time. There were too many hallucinations to distinguish them."

"The last time I woke up, I was the only one left in the entire Blood Pool Secret Realm."

"After consuming a total of twelve portions of Essence Blood, I successfully entered the Blood Feeding Secret Method and successfully absorbed six Paths of Blood Evil."

"Later I heard that this performance was already considered above average."

"Actually, as long as you can successfully absorb a wisp of Blood Evil, you can survive. There have been cases where eight people survived at the same time before."

"But there have also been cases where no one emerged until the Secret Realm closed."

"I've also heard of a record where someone absorbed a full thirty-six streams of Blood Evil, and later, with the help of the Blood Evil, successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm."

"It's a pity that everyone usually praises my talent."

"But when we actually got to the Secret Realm, we were several times worse off than them."

At this point, Lu Chengfeng's tone clearly showed regret.

It's clear from his voice that he probably also considered using this opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul.

"We all knew before entering the Secret Realm that if we failed in our cultivation, we would become resources for our companions."

Lu Chengfeng concluded, "Therefore, although the Blood Feeding Secret Method is considered Devil Cultivation Method, it does not harm innocent bystanders during its cultivation."

"After bringing the Blood Evil out of the Secret Realm."

"Aside from the time I killed the Gui Yun Sect cultivators, I usually only use my own Essence Blood to feed them."

"Others may not be able to guarantee it, but I myself have absolutely never engaged in any demonic acts."

Xiao Chen finally understood.

The so-called Blood Feeding Secret Method is simply a shortened form of using Essence Blood to nourish Sha Qi.

Moreover, due to his insufficient cultivation and vision, Lu Chengfeng's descriptions in many places were vague, and he himself was not very clear about them.

But Xiao Chen was different; he had a considerable understanding of Sha Qi.

Almost before the words had even finished, I understood what was going on.

If he's not mistaken, that Blood Pool Secret Realm should be a dangerous place that naturally gathers a large amount of Blood Sha Qi.

Although such places should not be very common under normal circumstances.

However, considering the situation in the New Cultivation World, there might not only be one place; there could be several.

As for Lu Chengfeng's cultivation process, it's a long story.

The reason why illusions are seen during cultivation is actually because the dense Sha Qi in the Secret Realm is eroding the cultivator's mind.

Just as Xiao Chen had heard at Universal Salvation Temple, an excessively strong Sha Qi could affect cultivators, causing them to suffer from qi deviation during cultivation.

One of its specific manifestations is illusion.

This situation alone shows that the so-called Blood Feeding Secret Technique is actually incomplete; at best, it can only be considered a different approach based on the Sha Warding Secret Art.

Rather than saying they possessed some secret technique to manipulate Sha Qi.

It's more accurate to say they were a group of people who wanted to rebel against the Holy City but lacked the power to do so, and were forced into this situation.

Based on Demonic Dao Secret Technique, and through countless trials and errors involving human lives over an unknown period of time, a flawed method was finally developed through countless sacrifices.

Even today, only a portion of the cultivators with suitable talent can withstand the invasion of the Sha Qi and survive.

This level of method, theoretically, isn't even a semi-finished product.

Of course, what Lu Chengfeng possesses may not necessarily be the most powerful secret technique in the New Cultivation World.

But it should also be the most mature method within the Rebellious Immortal Alliance.

This situation genuinely disappointed Xiao Chen upon hearing it.

He had originally wanted to learn from the unique cultivation methods and the way they manipulated Sha Qi here.

However, it seems that the current cultivation method may not be suitable, so we can only refer to the latter.

Fortunately, this Blood Feeding Secret Technique is not entirely useless; it also possesses two major advantages.

These are, respectively, the methods they further explored for maintaining the Sha Qi and the techniques for using Sha Qi to attack enemies.

Although this exploration process was full of sacrifices, it could even be said that the current Optimal Solution was found by risking human lives.

However, these sacrifices were not in vain, and they did bring about some results.

For example, Lu Chengfeng mentioned that a cultivator from the Rebellious Immortal Alliance once absorbed a full thirty-six streams of Blood Evil in one go.

He then broke through to the Nascent Soul stage with the help of Blood Evil.

This is a significant success, especially in the New Cultivation World where spiritual objects are scarce.

Moreover, although the form is different, this approach is actually quite similar to how Xiao Chen used Sha Qi to increase his success rate when breaking through to the Major Realm.

However, when compared in this way...

Clearly, the Immortal Palace Master is more powerful, and the methods he has developed are more awesome, safer, and easier to use.

For example, Lu Chengfeng brought out six Blood Evil, and he also used six incredibly powerful Blood Flying Sword when he was fighting desperately.

This is unlikely to be a coincidence; it's highly probable that the six Blood Flying Sword are directly related to the Blood Evil within his body.

While Xiao Chen didn't really need to learn how to cultivate Sha Qi, he was very interested in the methods of controlling Sha Qi.

So he pretended he hadn't guessed anything.

He inquired further out of curiosity, "You said before that absorbing Sha Qi could grant the power of revenge."

"But just hearing your description, it's still a little hard to understand."

"You mean, we can use Sha Qi to help us break through to the Nascent Soul in the future?"

"Isn't it too hasty to do this now? Why not wait until the Late-stage Golden Core before trying to absorb the Sha Qi?"

Lu Chengfeng, without suspecting anything, immediately replied, "That's one reason, I suppose."

"In fact, it takes accumulating a great deal of Blood Sha Qi to truly help with the breakthrough."

"However, most cultivators who come to absorb the Blood Sha Qi do so for two other major reasons."

"Firstly, after absorbing the Blood Sha Qi, blood can be regularly extracted and offered to the Alliance Leader, who will then feed the Golden Feather Blood Eagle."

"I have never seen the Golden Feather Blood Eagle, but I have heard that it is an extremely intelligent and special Great Demon."

"Since its establishment, the Rebellious Immortal Alliance has withstood many attacks from the Holy City, and in times of crisis, it has often been thanks to the help of the Golden Feather Blood Eagle that it has been able to survive."

"But as a price, or rather, as a reward, we need to provide it with blood regularly for sustenance."

"Moreover, no one else's blood will do; it must be the blood of a cultivator who has mastered the Blood Feeding Secret Method."

"Secondly, after absorbing the Blood Evil, one can use it as a foundation to cultivate blood- Blood Sha Qi Blood Path Spell."

"Ordinary Blood Path Spell has many flaws and is easily countered."

"However, its destructive power will be greatly enhanced after being infused with Sha Qi."

"Even someone like me, at the Mid-stage Golden Core, has a great chance of killing Late-stage Golden Core cultivator if used properly."

"If we ever find ourselves in dire straits, at least we'll have the ability to Mutual Destruction."

Yes, he wasn't lying. Judging from the Blood Flying Sword's performance earlier, it could indeed be said that it easily killed enemies of higher levels.

To Xiao Chen's surprise, the Rebellious Immortal Alliance actually had a Golden Feather Blood Eagle as an ally.

Considering the situation in the New Cultivation World, it is most likely a Fifth-Tier Great Demon.

That's not the key point. After all, there should also be Fifth-Tier Great Demon in the Endless Sea of Eastern Domain, but you might have to go deep into the Outer Sea to see them.

The key issue is that it requires a large amount of blood, and it must be blood tainted with the Blood Sha Qi.

Could it be that the Great Demon is also using Blood Evil for cultivation?

You know what, there really is such a possibility; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.

A dignified Fifth-Tier Great Demon can't just be trying to swindle the blood of some Golden Core cultivator, especially since it doesn't want ordinary blood.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen felt that if he had the chance in the future...

You could consider meeting this Golden Feather Blood Eagle to learn more about its situation.

Perhaps we can get some inspiration or enlightenment from it.

Perhaps we'll even have a conversation or Dao Discussion with it then.

It's important to know that Fifth-Tier Great Demon are definitely capable of communication, and transforming into human form shouldn't be difficult for them.

It all depends on whether they want to or not; there's absolutely no question of whether they can or not.

Of course, on the other hand, it was, after all, a Fifth-Tier Great Demon.

Xiao Chen is currently only at the Nascent Soul stage, so it might be inconvenient for him to communicate with it.

After all, Demon Beast generally have bad tempers, especially ferocious beasts or birds of prey, whose aggressiveness is innate.

Ideally, you should have the ability to easily defeat it, and then demonstrate your skills.

Only then will it take the initiative to restrain its temper and sit down to talk in a down-to-earth and peaceful manner.

Yes, escape techniques or trapping techniques are also very important.

Otherwise, sometimes Demon Beast might choose to run away if they can't win a fight.

Therefore, this matter should be done after Xiao Chen breaks through to the Spirit Transformation and masters the fifth-order escape technique; it might be easier to succeed then.

For now, let's focus on studying Blood Path Spell.

"Secret Method for fighting enemies far stronger than yourself? That sounds quite interesting."

Xiao Chen snapped out of his thoughts and asked, "If it's convenient, could you demonstrate it?"

"Using such Secret Method shouldn't come at a particularly high cost, right?"

Although he had already seen the Blood Flying Sword once before, he didn't know about the Sha Qi at the time, so he didn't look at it very carefully.

Now that I've heard about this, I naturally want to see it again.

"Using the Blood Path Secret Method was indeed a bit of a burden, but thanks to your healing earlier, I'm much better now."

Lu Chengfeng first thanked him, and then said, "However, I am currently lacking in true energy, and I may need to recuperate for a while. Please wait a moment, senior."

"It's alright, it was my oversight."

Xiao Chen waved his hand. "You've just been through a big battle, you should rest."

"You can meditate here; I'll go up the mountain to protect you."

"By the way, do you carry any elixirs with you?"

"I have a bottle of third-tier Essence Returning Pill here; you can take it and use it."

To help him recover his true essence as soon as possible, Xiao Chen specially left behind a bottle of elixirs to restore his true essence before going to the top of the mountain to meditate and rest.

Rather than acting as protectors, they were simply standing at a distance to prevent Lu Chengfeng from becoming too nervous.

Ordinary cultivators naturally don't recover their true essence as quickly as Xiao Chen; they can recover about 70-80% in just a moment.

Fortunately, with the help of the Essence Returning Pill, Lu Chengfeng recovered half of his true essence in just one hour, and his overall condition improved significantly.

So he got up and went up to the hilltop.

In front of Xiao Chen, he used the Blood Path Secret Method again and condensed six Blood Flying Sword once more.

This time, they stood even closer, intentionally observing, and Lu Chengfeng was also very cooperative.

Therefore, Xiao Chen quickly sensed the Blood Sha Qi flowing within the Blood Flying Sword.

He also confirmed that this was exactly the Malevolent Qi Attack Secret Art he wanted.

It's a pity that this is Blood Sha Qi rather than the Five Elements Sars, otherwise we could have directly used the existing Secret Method.
