Further Schemes I
"Impressive!?" Zhang Rongfang was somewhat stunned when he saw the information displayed in the Attribute Panel, even though he had expected it.
Just by looking at the series of abilities of this Blood Clan Progenitor, one can sense that they are exceptionally powerful.
Most importantly, these abilities provide immediate feedback when his attention is focused on them.
The feedback indicates that these capabilities are incremental rather than fixed upper or lower limits.
In other words, the increase will continue on the existing basis.
That's the most terrifying thing.
Zhang Rongfang carefully memorized all the abilities and information of the Blood Clan Progenitor into his mind.
Then he slowly closed the Attribute Panel and took a deep breath.
Based on the fact that it takes more than three months to acquire one ability, it would take him at least thirty months to fully acquire all of these abilities.
In other words, it would be nearly three years. After making a rough estimate in his mind, Zhang Rongfang knew how long he needed to wait.
It takes three months and ten days to add 100 points. To be precise, there are still ten more abilities to complete, which require 1,000 points of Life Attribute.
'It won't be long. If this stable and leisurely life continues, we should be able to achieve our full potential soon.'
Looking at the list of abilities following the Blood Clan Progenitor, Zhang Rongfang wondered how powerful he would become if he could acquire them all.
He was filled with anticipation, wishing he could jump to more than two years in the future right away.
"We can't rush things. Right now, Master Yue is suppressing the world, invincible, and has no worries. Even the Gods and Buddhas and Buddhas aren't interfering with my affairs for the time being because of him. There might be further trouble at least several decades from now. For now, let's deal with Xue Tong first."
The change in his Trait Talent calmed down Zhang Rongfang's speculations about the future.
He was initially worried that his talents might remain useless. But now it seems that with the bloodline providing the direction, his abilities will become increasingly integrated and enhance his own power.
Immediately, he focused his attention and began to carefully examine the changes that had occurred in his body.
As usual, the increase in his Life Attribute also increased the sense of accumulation within his body.
This is reflected in the ability to expand the Blood Lotus and use the Final Form, becoming even Further Progress.
The combination of abilities into bloodline gave him a subtle sense of wholeness over his entire body.
Just like now, the next ability is to Destructive Sonic Wave, so his throat is starting to change, which is obviously paving the way for the appearance of the next ability.
***Inside the underground Heavenly Treasure Palace.
As the Great Sect Alliance meeting concluded, representatives from various religious sects dispersed and departed.
The True One Sect, the Black Ten Sect, the Western Sect, the Heaven Lock Sect, and so on all have leaders stationed here, so that they can be mobilized in a timely manner.
After all the representatives had left, Yue Dewen sat alone in front of the statue of the Celestial Venerable Statue, quiet and silent.
To the average person, he was simply meditating in seclusion.
But in the eyes of any Civilian Skill Refining Spirit the arts of cultivation, at this moment, his body was emitting countless colorful wisps of smoke, like steam.
The smoke rose and soared, converging into a black background with countless colorful patterns a meter above its head.
'Here we go again'
Yue Dewen's heart sank.
Since establishing the Great Power and integrating it into his own spiritual field, his strength has been rapidly increasing every moment.
This has nothing to do with Spirit Thread; it's purely about suppressing the enemy with a mental force field, preventing them from exerting their normal strength.
Those who are suppressed will have their strength reduced by half at best, and at worst be paralyzed on the spot, losing all ability to resist.
Having gathered immense power, and combining his own strength with the power of the gods and Gods and Buddhas behind him, he can now completely suppress even Divine General, thus causing them to underperform.
"Pity."
Yue Dewen sighed softly and suddenly reached out to touch his nose.
A drop of bright red blood fell out without anyone noticing.
This isn't the first time he's had a nosebleed.
How could a martial arts Great Grandmaster who had already achieved the status of Spirit General through Worship God suddenly have a nosebleed for no reason?
If this were told to others, probably no one would believe it.
But that's just how it is.
He originally thought he could bear the weight of the world's power unscathed. After all, compared to Damir back then, he was now Spirit General.
But reality dealt him a heavy blow. Only after he truly began to take on the responsibility did he realize that this kind of situation had nothing to do with physical strength, but was purely a matter of mental and willpower.
However, his mental strength is not much different from Damir's, and he is even slightly weaker than the latter.
But now that things have come to this, there's no turning back.
Turning back means death, means defeat, means that all the calculations and plans of the past years have been for naught.
Therefore, he couldn't retreat; he had to move forward! He composed himself. Yue Dewen stood up; the blood on his hands had been wiped away and disappeared sometime earlier.
He turned around and walked out of the temple again, arriving at the center of the huge circular array outside.
Then sit cross-legged and gently pat the ground with your palm.
Buzz!!
The entire Great Array slowly glowed with white light. This white light also existed only within the spiritual field and was invisible to ordinary people.
The outer perimeter of the formation, resembling mycelium, continuously attracted wisps of white mist drifting in from an unknown place.
Countless white wisps of energy, following the Locked Script the Great Array formation, converged on Yue Dewen.
At the same time, the black Round Ball with colorful patterns above his head also began to frantically absorb the gathering white energy, strengthening itself.
"He's getting stronger and stronger." On the outer edge of the formation, Daoist Qing Yi and Saint Heaven One stood side by side, gazing at Yue Dewen, who was sitting cross-legged in the center.
"By absorbing the inexhaustible power of the world, it can naturally become stronger and stronger, just like Damir did back then," Saint Heaven One said calmly.
"Perhaps it won't be long before the First Second Divine General, even if they join forces, will not be a match for them."
"At that time, it will be time for our Great Sect Alliance to seize the throne head-on," Daoist Qing Yi said in a deep voice.
"It's just a bit strange that Snow Rainbow Pavilion hasn't made any big moves so far," Saint Heaven One said with a puzzlement. "Spirit Flight Heaven can't be so oblivious as to be completely oblivious."
"They thought they could still do what they did before, but unfortunately, Yue Sect Leader and Damir are different. Damir gave us a path to enlightenment, but as a mortal, he was only a mortal body and could not withstand the pressure of the great power, so he was surrounded and killed."
But Yue Sect Leader is different; he is Spirit General, and his martial arts cultivation is comparable to Damir's. With the body of Spirit General, he can withstand far more pressure than Damir. Therefore, he is now stronger than Damir was back then, much stronger! "Daoist Qing Yi said calmly.
"Yes, no one is more suitable than him," Saint Heaven One nodded in agreement.
"We are destined to overturn this era! To end Spirit Flight Heaven's final rule!" Daoist Qing Yi whispered.
"I think so too. But speaking of which, what is Spirit Flight Heaven's full name?" Saint Heaven One suddenly asked.
This question surprised Daoist Qing Yi slightly, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Yes? Spirit Flight Heaven is just a nickname given to it by everyone, but its Orthodox God name is not that.
But if the god's name isn't Spirit Flight Heaven, then what is his real full name again?
***Early April.
Yue Dewen fought against the first and second Divine General simultaneously, and with one against two, he had a slight advantage.
The Great Capital was in an uproar, which also heralded the beginning of a complete reform of the four branches of the Great Ling Imperial Clan.
With the Divine General under pressure, the four Imperial Clan had no choice but to bow their heads, and along with more than ten noble Noble of the Spirit Person People in the Great Capital, they no longer resisted stubbornly.
Only then did the Great Sect Alliance established by the Great Dao Sect truly suppress the entire situation.
A supreme authority with the Great Sect Alliance at its core was established.
Snow Rainbow Pavilion stepped down to second place, declaring its acceptance of the Great Sect Alliance's rightful position.
In the same month, a tragic Blood Mist chaos erupted on the border.
A patrol team of over a hundred Spirit Army stationed on the border was found dead, all mummified, in a desolate canyon.
Rumors claim that it was the work of the Blood Immortal Path Daoist, who cultivated the Human Immortal Path.
After receiving the news, Bian Jun quickly formed an investigation team with experts from the Snow Rainbow Pavilion and the Great Sect Alliance to trace the clues and discover a hidden hideout called the Reincarnation Temple.
Inside the hideout, there were more than thirty unorthodox Daoists, all practicing the Blood Immortal Path and raising people to take turns bleeding them. They were all killed and executed.
The Blood Immortal Path Sect case has also aroused concerns among many forces about the Human Immortal Temple.
***In the desolate mountains and wilderness.
Several tall men dressed in long robes, with jade pendants at their waists, stood in front of a somewhat dilapidated Daoist Temple. They leisurely fanned themselves with calligraphy and painting paper fans.
The group watched their subordinates bustling about inside the Daoist Temple, a strange smile playing on their Upper Capital.
"Is everything set up?" the leader asked softly.
"That's about it. Next, we just need to throw those few Blood Descendant we caught in there, leave some traces, and that'll be it," the other person said with a smile.
"Wang Xue's plan is excellent. I'd like to see how the Human Immortal Temple handles this," the third person laughed. "Isn't the Great Sect Alliance supposed to stabilize the situation and eliminate anything detrimental to the overall picture? Now that things are escalating, we can't just turn a blind eye, can we?"
"What if they continue to tolerate it and simply turn a blind eye?" the leader asked again. "After all, some people don't necessarily need a reputation."
"Then let it spread even wider, let it cause a bigger uproar. How can the world's power be so easily consolidated? If it is not handled properly, the power will also weaken. On the current battlefield, no one in the Great Sect Alliance can defeat the main force, so naturally we have to turn to the other side." The third person explained.
The three Academy certainly dared not confront the Great Sect Alliance head-on. Even the combined might of the Divine General was at a disadvantage, and a direct confrontation would undoubtedly result in certain death.
But they are better at the other side than the front.
"Furthermore, arrangements have been made for schools and Academy branches in various places to spread the word. They've revealed that this so-called Human Immortal Dao Sect is nothing but a Blood Immortal Evil Immortal Sect."
Something happened in Wushan Prefecture, Chang Xueyi went missing and is now trapped there. The Great Sect Alliance is now trying to undermine them completely, targeting their very foundation.
The Imperial Clan, the Spirit Person Noble, and the Academy are actually intertwined, deeply rooted, and intricately connected, almost forming a trinity.
Now that the Great Sect Alliance has repeatedly shaken their foundations, no one is willing to be suppressed, weakened, or eliminated for no reason.
So, since we can't win head-on, we'll try to take it from the side.
Before long, all traces inside the Daoist Temple were arranged.
Several Spirit Guard escorted a group of wild Daoist priests dressed in Blood-colored Daoist Robe into the room.
These unorthodox Daoists were all tightly bound and unable to break free. With their mouths and noses stuffed, they writhed on the ground like maggots.
"These bloodsucking lice! Look at their eyes, they're a disgusting red! They're not human anymore! Keeping them around is just asking for trouble!"
The Spirit Guard leading the group, with a look of disgust, accepted a torch handed to him by his subordinate.
"Pour Fire Oil over them all!"
"Yes!"
First Squad people quickly grabbed Fire Oil and poured it over the people present from head to toe.
"Squad leader, why don't we just kill them?" a squad member asked, puzzled.
"They're hard to kill. These lice are incredibly Life Force." The Captain drew his blade and swung it at one of them.
A man's arm was severed, but fleshy veins and blood vessels quickly grew from the cut, reconnecting and healing themselves in a few breaths.
It looked as if it had never been cut open at all.
A collective gasp filled the air.
This recovery speed is comparable to Worship God.
Most importantly, there are many restrictions on Worship God, and one must be vetted by various religious sects beforehand. Not just anyone can worship.
"But these Blood Descendant... these people can grant ordinary people this ability simply by sharing their blood. Most importantly, they can counteract the immortality of Worship God through blood-drinking!" the Captain explained.
"So what we need to do now is to amplify and publicize this ability as much as possible! Isn't the Great Sect Alliance trying to suppress the news? Didn't Wushan Prefecture cause the disappearance and death of Mountain Master Chang? This time, let's see how the Great Sect Alliance deals with it!" The Captain chuckled coldly.
With a snap, he threw the torch at the wild Daoist priest who was rolling and writhing in front of him.
The fire suddenly spread and burned fiercely.
