Secrets, Part Two

Even Zhang Rongfang, who was usually very bold, was so frightened by this scene that he took several steps back.

"What the hell is that?!" He stared in horror at the face outside the door.

The face was three meters long and two meters wide, with blood-red skin that looked as if it were made of countless flowing blood.

Each of those five eyes was composed of black vortexes and white fluorescence.

The white fluorescence is the sclera (white of the eye), and the black vortex is the pupil.

They were all staring intently at Zhang Rongfang.

Flesh and blood. Flesh and blood.

'By worshiping me, I will gain immortality and immense physical strength.'

'Worship me'

'Offer to me'

The Blood God's face contorted as it squeezed into the cabin, relentlessly approaching Zhang Rongfang.

It's getting closer and closer.

Suddenly it opened its mouth wide and pounced on Zhang Rongfang.

Whoosh! In the darkness.

Suddenly, Zhang Rongfang sat up in bed, covered in sweat.

He was panting heavily, his clothes almost completely soaked with sweat.

"What's going on?!" He hurriedly looked around, but there was no Blood God face, and the cabin was exactly the same as before, without any changes.

Moonlight streamed in through the round window, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

"Was it a dream?" Zhang Rongfang took a deep breath and then exhaled.

He hadn't dreamed in a long time since he started practicing martial arts.

Or rather, even if he dreams, he won't remember it. This kind of sleep is the highest quality.

But today, he inexplicably had a nightmare about the Blood God.

After turning over and putting on his shoes, Zhang Rongfang frowned and stood up from the bed.

'Given the stability of my Qi and blood, it's abnormal that a nightmare could disturb my Essence, Qi, and Spirit!'

He closed his eyes and recalled everything that had happened during the day.

There were no abnormalities.

The only slightly unusual thing was that he took away the Blood God Statue and also read the Secret Scroll of the Blood Bath Sacrifice Method that came with the Blood God.

"Speaking of which, why are there so many sects of the Great Ling Gods and Buddhas Sect, yet what people often see are always the warriors Worship God."

The folk tales circulating are all about Worship God and warriors; no one has ever passed down any tales about Gods and Buddhas.

Zhang Rongfang suddenly realized something was amiss.

'Do they not exist?'

'Impossible. The records in the Eastern Sect Secret Treasure shouldn't be false. Otherwise, the Worship God Warriors wouldn't have appeared.'

'But if they exist, why has no one actually seen them? Aside from their statues and paintings, nothing else can be found?'

A series of doubts kept popping into Zhang Rongfang's mind.

He closed his eyes and recalled the events of the day.

Suddenly, his body jolted.

In his memory, everything involving the Blood God was as clear as a movie replay.

This is not normal!

This situation does not occur when normal people recall past events.

Memory is ultimately vague and prone to change and error.

But strangely, in Zhang Rongfang's memory at this time, everything related to the Blood God...

Everything was crystal clear.

The rest of the image is noticeably blurred.

He could even trace every line of the Blood God Statue, every symbolic detail on its body.

Upon opening his eyes, Zhang Rongfang clearly sensed that something was wrong.

His blood and energy circulation accelerated without him even realizing it. His muscles also began to tense up naturally.

It was as if they had encountered some unknown threat.

"What's going on!?"

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes again.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, the incredibly clear statue of the Blood God appeared before him once again.

This time, the statue was directly and abruptly suspended in the very center of his closed field of vision.

It was surrounded by darkness, standing out starkly in the middle, motionless. It truly seemed like just a statue.

Zhang Rongfang tried hard not to think about it, but it was pointless.

The Statue seemed to be rooted to the spot, hovering right in front of him.

As long as you close your eyes, it will always appear in front of you.

"What the hell is this?!" Zhang Rongfang opened the Attribute Panel.

Sure enough, my Intuition Warning.

' Intuition Warning: You are experiencing some kind of invasion originating from your consciousness; your awareness is gradually declining.'

Intuition Warning: A Strange Being existing in your subconscious is beginning to occupy your mind. If you don't want to be completely invaded, you'd better start practicing Civilian Skill cultivation immediately.

You can sense, deep down, that the deity of your sect might protect you from harm.

Needless to say, seeing this is practically a straightforward hint.

Zhang Rongfang immediately sat cross-legged back on the bed, and the Supreme Bright Void Skill, which he hadn't practiced for a long time, began to circulate again.

As Civilian Skill adjusted his energy, his blood and energy gradually returned to normal.

The Supreme Bright Void Skill emphasizes that the divine will is like a lamp, illuminating the entire body, flesh, limbs, and internal organs.

The so-called "illuminating the void" means using divine will to illuminate the unknown and the void.

The void and the unknown here naturally include the various voids and unknowns within oneself.

At this moment, the Civilian Skill that had reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage were activated, and the Blood God Statue in Zhang Rongfang's mind gradually blurred and faded.

The Intuition Warning that kept flashing on his Attribute Panel also began to gradually slow down.

Before long, Zhang Rongfang entered a deep meditative state, and the Intuition Warning ceased to be given at all.

More than an hour later.

Zhang Rongfang came to his senses and awoke from his meditative state.

The sky outside was gradually turning gray, and it was almost dawn.

"This is weird!"

He broke out in a sweat again; this strange situation arose simply from looking at the Statue and the Secret Scroll.

"It seems that even without worship, that complete Statue can pose a dangerous threat to ordinary people."

Zhang Rongfang quickly got up and left the room.

On the outer deck, many sailors had already begun washing up and pouring their dirty water into the sea.

They washed themselves with filtered seawater, and then wiped themselves with a cotton cloth soaked in fresh water one last time.

This saves fresh water and helps clean the body, preventing it from getting too dirty and developing growths.

Tian Ruyi had already gotten up and was addressing the group of people from the Thousand Stone Sect.

Seeing Zhang Rongfang come out, he turned around and quickly jogged over.

"Your Crown Prince? You're up?" He asked with a smile.

"Hmm, were you alright last night? Did you have any nightmares after seeing that Blood God Statue?" Zhang Rongfang asked seriously.

"Nightmare? No?" Tian Ruyi thought Zhang Rongfang was joking and smiled casually.

"To be honest, that Blood God Statue is not even in the same league as the Moon God worshipped by our Thousand Stone Sect."

As he was talking, he suddenly noticed that Zhang Rongfang's expression was a little off.

"Your Crown Prince, you look a little tired and not in good spirits. Have you not been getting enough rest?"

"A little." Zhang Rongfang nodded. "May I ask, when you Worship God and transformed into Spirit Vein, did you see the Statue? What does the Moon God Statue worshipped by the Thousand Stone Sect look like? Can you tell me?"

"There's nothing wrong with saying this," Tian Ruyi said with a smile. "The Moon God is beautiful and holy, and is an exquisitely beautiful woman with a thousand hands. She is compassionate to all people, and each of her hands is in the darkness, supporting a hazy light for the world."

We generally refer to moonlight as one of the thousand hands of the Moon God, extending her compassion and mercy to humanity.

Zhang Rongfang frowned and looked at the other people on the deck.

From the Thousand Stone Sect to the ordinary deckhands and soldiers, not one of them looked abnormal.

"Do you have a way to deal with that Blood God Statue?" he continued to ask.

"It's just a wild god sect. We can send it to the Moon God Hall in our main sect, and we can eliminate it quickly," Tian Ruyi replied easily. "The Moon God will indeed bestow a reward upon obtaining such a valuable item. However, I've also examined the Blood God Statue, and it's highly likely that it's not the only Core Statue, so the reward it receives probably won't be much."

"A reward? How did the Moon God bestow the reward? Can you tell me?" Zhang Rongfang asked solemnly, but his expression remained relaxed.

"I don't know, but I'll go back and get some sleep. When I wake up, it will extend my lifespan by a bit," Tian Ruyi replied.

Zhang Rongfang frowned. He recalled a sentence mentioned in the Intuition Warning.

It exists in the subconscious!

If these Gods and Buddhas truly exist in people's subconscious, then everything makes sense.

They never appear in front of people, because they exist in the subconscious.

Suppress the thoughts in your mind.

After thinking it over, Zhang Rongfang still didn't intend to hand over the Blood God Statue.

This was the first time he had obtained a perfectly intact statue of Gods and Buddhas.

What can be bought outside are all Statue Fragment, while a complete statue of Gods and Buddhas can help him to study in depth the secrets of the obviously abnormal system of Gods and Buddhas, Buddhas and Worship God.

The ship slowly returned, and compared to the way there which required manpower to speed it up, the return journey was much faster with the wind at its back.

It only took two days for the merchant ship to return to Ci Tong Port.

After Zhou Xinlan in, Zhang Rongfang immediately took Yu Xiang Coral and began refining pills.

He had been looking forward to the second stage of the Golden Toad Skill, the Sun Chasing Stage, for a long time. As time went on, the secrets of the Human Seed and the Secret Cache secrets began to be revealed more and more.

He felt that his time was running out.

The days when I can peacefully cultivate myself like this are gone forever.

Aloeswood Palace.

Zhang Rongfang as the Pill Furnace roared to life.

Above the flames, a large iron pot was constantly stirring a thick, muddy black liquid.

Add water to 30 marks. Add oil to 10 marks.

He gave the order.

Immediately, two Daoist boys, each 1.9 meters tall and weighing 220 kilograms, stepped forward, carrying a water jug and an oil jug, and poured the water according to the standard markings.

Zhang Rongfang personally carried a large shovel and stepped forward to stir the mixture repeatedly.

He spoke again shortly afterward.

"Now you can add the Main Herb. Use the fifth spoon to add three level spoonfuls. Be careful not to waste the powder!"

"Yes." The third Daoist disciple stepped forward and carefully scooped out three level spoonfuls of the powdered Yu Xiang Coral and poured them into the large pot.

Laugh.

Suddenly, flames burst forth above the large pot.

The young Daoist disciples screamed and cried out in alarm, dropping their belongings and trying to flee.

"Put the lid on!" Zhang Rongfang shouted sternly.

Immediately, Zhang Zhenhai, who was standing to the side, quickly put a pot lid the size of a bathtub on the large pot of Pill Furnace.

The flames quickly went out.

Zhang Rongfang breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to continue giving instructions.

Suddenly his gaze sharpened.

In the Attribute Panel in front of him, a new Attribute Points had just reappeared.

And this point is exactly the last point he needs to reach 200 points.

At this moment, his health points were at their final 199.
