Blood Saint Art, Big Dipper Constellation Formation

"Alright, now that everyone has decided on the number of people and the number of ships, let's go back and prepare. Then we'll choose an auspicious day and set off," Baili Hong said happily.

Immediately afterwards, the people from Seven Stars Island dispersed and went back to prepare.

After Baili Hong and the others left, they arrived at the Lineage's ancestral home, the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of the Baili family was built like a palace, enormous, with a bloody aura swirling around its high roof.

The main hall of the ancestral hall is also built in a way that is quite different from other ancestral halls.

In other families' ancestral halls, the main halls are filled with incense smoke, bright and magnificent, and ancestral tablets are displayed everywhere.

However, upon entering the main hall of the Baili family's ancestral temple, the first thing one sees is a huge statue of the King Wuguan.

The entire ancestral hall appeared eerie and sinister. There was no incense burning inside, only seven small blood-stained plates arranged around the statue of the King Wuguan, according to the arrangement of the Big Dipper.

The blood basin wasn't filled with the blood of Exotic Beast. If you sensed it a little, you'd know it was filled with the essence blood of martial artists, and even the essence blood of high-level martial artists.

However, there is not much blood left in these blood basins now; they are almost empty.

Inside the ancestral hall, three elderly people were sitting cross-legged around the statue of the King Wuguan.

They all appeared kind and benevolent, with an air of otherworldly wisdom. If they went out, no one would believe that these were all vampire old ghosts practicing evil arts.

The three were seen circulating their cultivation techniques, and wisps of blood-red energy were emanating from the statue of the King Wuguan.

At the same time, wisps of mysterious and unpredictable primordial energy also drifted in.

Then, the three of them absorbed the crimson and mysterious energy into their bodies, and a satisfied expression appeared on their faces.

The amount of blood in the blood basin on the ground had decreased almost imperceptibly.

After completing one round of energy cultivation, the three of them opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, glanced at the blood plate on the ground, and sighed.

All three of them lamented that if their blood wasn't replenished, they wouldn't be able to sustain their cultivation and daily needs.

Although the cultivation progress of the Blood Saint Art is fast, the amount of martial artist's essence blood required is not small.

Now, almost all the high-level martial artists on the islands surrounding Seven Stars Island have been captured.

The supplies are no longer sufficient for their cultivation needs, which is the problem that is causing them headaches now.

Now, their cultivation time has been greatly shortened compared to before.

I don't dare to maintain my energy and spirit like before; now I'm just maintaining my basic daily needs.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed indoors for so long.

Does this make people from other islands dare to come and spy?

If it weren't for the fact that they needed to do things and maintain the operation of the formation, we would have captured them and bled them dry long ago. How could we allow them to act so recklessly?

"Greetings to the three Old Ancestor," Baili Hong said, standing outside the main hall of the ancestral temple.

"Come in!" said Baili He, the youngest of the three.

Baili Hong quickly opened the palace door and went inside.

"What's going on? Are the people from the other islands causing trouble again?" Baili Qiang, the oldest among them, asked with a frown.

"Three Old Ancestor, I have good news," Baili Hong said happily.

"Oh? What's the good news?" Baili Qi asked with slight interest from the other side.

"Three Old Ancestor, the former Great Qin Empire has been destroyed, and it is now called Great Qian. Moreover, there are only three Peak Grandmaster in the entire Great Qian now," Baili Hong said with a happy expression.

"The Qin Dynasty was destroyed? When did that happen?" Baili He asked with a curious expression.

"I'm not sure about that, but now even the Great Qian has been destroyed, and only two female Sects are in charge?" Baili Hong said with a smile.

"Two Sects women?" Baili Qi asked curiously.

Baili Hong nodded and said, "Yes, they are called the Star Moon Sect and the Flowing Cloud Sect. Initially, both Sects were entirely female; they only started accepting male disciples in recent years."

"Star Moon Sect? Flowing Cloud Sect? And they only accept women?" Baili Qiang repeated, then seemed to have thought of something.

He turned to Baili Qi beside him and asked, "Do you feel a sense of familiarity?"

Baili Qi, who was standing to the side, nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these two sects should be related to the Star Cloud Saint Sect."

"They're very similar in both name and in terms of accepting disciples. But why are they two different sects?" Baili Qiang asked, puzzled.

"Forget about all that. Shouldn't we be thinking about why the strength of the Great Qian is so low?" Baili Qiang said from the side.

"Yes! Old Ancestor, the Great Qian Dynasty is at its weakest right now. Shouldn't we take this opportunity to replenish our cultivation resources?" Baili Hong said.

Baili Hong's replenishment of cultivation resources is the essence and blood of high-level martial artists.

In fact, the reason why people from the other six islands cannot advance to the Peak Grandmaster is not solely due to their cultivation techniques.

The main problem is that they were tricked by the people of Dubhe Island from the very beginning.

The Seven Islands were expanded and built by the people of Dubhe Island according to the arrangement of the Big Dipper, and then they were combined to form the Big Dipper Constellation Formation.

These seven islands operate according to the Big Dipper Constellation Formation, continuously absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to replenish Dubhe Island.

However, if it were just that, it wouldn't matter.

However, the Big Dipper Constellation Formation requires the absorption of a martial artist's essence, energy, and spirit to suppress it; otherwise, it will easily collapse.

Over time, this great formation will slowly lose its spiritual power and eventually become ineffective.

This absorption of the martial artist's essence and spirit is done without their knowledge.

They just felt that apart from their cultivation progress being relatively slow, there were no other side effects.

Therefore, all the martial artists living on that island suffered misfortune without even realizing it.

They all felt that the other six islands, like Dubhe Island, were full of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Only by setting up the Seven Star Array and enshrining the statue of the King Wuguan can the Blood Saint Art be completely passed down; the other islands have no idea about it.

The other islands still believed that they were practicing the Blood Demon Art.

They had no idea that from the very beginning, they had become one of the cultivation resources of Dubhe Island.

Moreover, it is a cultivation resource that has always existed, which is why the people of Dubhe Island have tolerated their coercion.

Because from the very beginning, they were cultivation resources kept by Dubhe Island!

"Cultivation resources do need to be replenished, but we cannot go to the Great Qian. Have you forgotten our ancestral teachings?" Baili Qiang said, frowning.

"Yes! Hong'er, since our ancestors clearly instructed that we should not enter the Great Qin, there must be something there that we fear."

"We can't sacrifice the Baili family's foundation for a little bit of cultivation resources," Baili Ji advised from the side.

"But Situ Guang of Yao Guang Island has already slaughtered an entire city there and brought back tens of thousands of high-level martial artists," Baili Hong said.

"What?!" The three Old Ancestor of the Baili family immediately changed their expressions and exclaimed in unison.

"That damned Situ Guang! I should have just killed him. Now he's exposed us all," Baili Qiang said, standing up.

Baili Hong asked curiously, "Old Ancestor, what has been exposed? Weren't we doing well all along?"

"Hong'er, do you know why we're hiding here?" Baili Qi asked.

Baili Hong shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

Baili Qi sighed, looked at the somewhat immature Baili Hong, and began to explain to him.
