Lifebound Magic Treasure

Seeing that he could no longer obtain any more useful information from Bie Chou, Song Wen fell silent.

He was pondering how to deal with his Bie Chou.

Keeping Bie Chou around may have many advantages, but it also carries a significant risk.

Limitless Island and the Xing Family could track down the aura on the Soul Shackle at any time and find Bie Chou.

Song Wen also considered finding a way to seal Bie Chou's soul somewhere.

In this way, even if Limitless Island and the Xing Family come looking for him, Bie Chou will fall into their hands, but Song Wen's life will not be in danger.

There is also a potential risk in doing this.

This would expose the fact that Song Wen had practiced the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art>.

If Limitless Island were to learn of this, Yinshuo would undoubtedly do everything in his power to track down Song Wen.

With a thought, Song Wen summoned the Black Hole back into his Sea of Consciousness.

"What are you going to do! You promised you would let me go!" Bie Chou's terrified voice rang out.

His answer was the powerful suction force from the Black Hole.

"You broke your promise..."

Bie Chou was swallowed by the Black Hole.

A month later, Song Wen returned to the Poison Grotto on Fangzhu Island.

With six Shadow Gu constantly monitoring the movements outside the Poison Grotto, Song Wen entered the secret chamber and began his seclusion.

After devouring Bie Chou's soul, Song Wen felt as if his Divine Sense power had reached a bottleneck and was about to break through. In addition, he had previously devoured Yuan Qing's Law Power and had not yet had time to stabilize his cultivation.

This period of seclusion will serve as a chance to solidify my cultivation while attempting a breakthrough in my Divine Sense.

However, after three years of seclusion, his cultivation level was stabilized.

However, he failed to break through to the Nascent Soul Early Stage Divine Sense realm as he had hoped, as if there was an invisible barrier preventing his Divine Sense power from advancing.

"Is it because my Divine Sense foundation is insufficient to break through the bottleneck? Or is it like the Golden Core Realm, where cultivation and Divine Sense need to break through simultaneously?"

Song Wen was undecided.

Unable to break through in his Divine Sense, Song Wen had to put the project aside for the time being. He began to refine his Life-Bound Treasure — the Blood Sea Seal.

Song Wen took out the Blood Brick and absorbed the Blood Qi within it.

The Blood Qi within the Blood Brick was vast and boundless. One can only imagine how many lives the Nether God Temple slaughtered to create this artifact.

The more Essence Blood used to refine the Blood Sea Seal, the greater its power.

Therefore, Song Wen decided to devour all the Essence Blood in the entire Blood Brick to refine the Blood Sea Seal.

This decision caused Song Wen a great deal of trouble.

The limit of Essence Blood that his physical body can withstand is roughly equivalent to that of Nascent Soul Early Stage, which is about enough to fill four jade bottles.

It only takes Song Wen twenty breaths to devour this Essence Blood.

Then, he needs to reverse the Qi and Blood to expel the Essence Blood from his body.

Beneath Song Wen lay a giant Pill Furnace with a diameter exceeding ten zhang.

Almost all Pill Furnace can preserve the spiritual essence of spirit medicine, maintaining their medicinal power, though the strength of the effects varies. Using Pill Furnace to store Essence Blood is also quite suitable.

This Pill Furnace was obtained from a tomb in the Rebirth Valley. It is a top-grade Law Treasure Pill Furnace with the ability to change size, and can grow to a size of a hundred feet.

Even with Song Wen Late Golden Core Stage cultivation, his Law Power was insufficient to activate this Pill Furnace for refining Alchemy.

However, Song Wen did not intend to Alchemy; he merely intended to use it to store his Essence Blood, which consumed very little of his Law Power and was still achievable.

The body's Essence Blood are constantly replenished, and then reversed and expelled from the body.

This repeated cycle was an immense torment to Song Wen's mind and body.

I'm completely exhausted!

Feeling physically weak.

It took a full three months for Song Wen to finally devour all the Essence Blood in the Blood Brick and reverse it out of his body.

Inside the secret chamber, a colossal Pill Furnace, fifty feet in diameter, stood majestically! It was filled to the brim with Essence Blood.

Song Wen sat pale and haggard at the foot of the Pill Furnace.

It took him half a month to recover his Divine Sense, Law Power, and physical body.

The Essence Blood are ready; the next step is to refine the Blood Sea Embryo.

Song Wen completely immersed his mind in the Essence Blood, establishing a Divine Sense connection with it.

This was originally the most dangerous step in refining the Blood Sea Seal. This was because the Blood Sea Embryo was evolved from the Essence Blood of countless living beings, and the resentment of these beings remained within it, which would pollute the cultivator's Sea of Consciousness.

However, Song Wen did not have this problem.

The Essence Blood all originated from Song Wen himself, and the Divine Sense connection was completed very smoothly.

Once the Blood Sea Embryo was formed, Song Wen began the final step: refining the various spiritual materials needed to create the Blood Sea Seal into the Blood Sea Embryo.

Five-Colored Gold, Ksitigarbha Lotus, and many other rare spiritual materials were one by one thrown into the Blood Sea Embryo by Song Wen.

As Song Wen continued to infuse the Method Formula, the Blood Sea Embryo gradually began to shrink, and its form gradually changed, from liquid to semi-liquid, and then to solid.

Finally, a seal the size of a human head, entirely scarlet, and covered with fierce and menacing reliefs, appeared in Song Wen's hands.

The bottom of the seal is printed with two large characters.

Extreme Yin!

The moment Song Wen acquired the Blood Sea Seal, he felt a connection to it, a bond that transcended blood and spirit. This was a unique characteristic of his Life-Bound Treasure, something other Law Treasure did not possess.

When wielding one's Life-Bound Treasure, the consumption of Law Power is lower, and the control is more flexible.

Song Wen opened his mouth wide, and the Blood Sea Seal rapidly shrank as Song Wen swallowed it into his Dantian.

The Life-Bound Treasure is usually stored in the Dantian for nurturing. This strengthens the connection between the Law Treasure and the cultivator, enhancing the Law Treasure's power.

Song Wen got up and walked out of the secret room.

The noise of the stone door to the secret chamber being opened startled Shan Yue, who was cultivating.

Shan Yue's expression brightened. "Extreme Yin, you've finally emerged from seclusion. You've been in seclusion for over four years."

I'm going out for a bit.

Song Wen's figure swiftly rushed towards the cave entrance.

When are you coming back?

Shan Yue shouted loudly as she looked at Song Wen's retreating figure.

I'll be back soon!

After flying for two hours, Song Wen arrived at an open sea area tens of thousands of miles away from Fangzhu Island.

After confirming that no one was in the surrounding sea area, Song Wen summoned the Blood Sea Seal.

Song Wen's mind stirred as he tossed the Blood Sea Seal high into the air.

Within the Blood Sea Seal, a large amount of blood mist rose up.

In an instant, blood-red clouds filled the sky for dozens of miles around, as if it were an omen of the end of the world.

Below the blood-red clouds lay a vast, crimson ocean.

This vast ocean stretches for over thirty miles, and for Song Wen, at the Peak Golden Core Stage Divine Sense realm, this is the limit that Song Wen Divine Sense can currently reach.

In the Blood Sea, the waves surged, the blood water churned, and the blood waves reached the sky.

Song Wen in the center of the Blood Sea, like a demon god descended to earth.

A wave of blood surged in, engulfing Song Wen's figure.

Song Wen reappeared, already twenty miles away.

He moved through the Blood Sea with a speed comparable to that of Nascent Soul Cultivator.

A blood-red figure suddenly appeared in front of Song Wen. This was Blood Shadow Clone, possessing 30% of Song Wen's cultivation, roughly equivalent to the strength of a Middle Golden Core Stage cultivator.

The Blood Shadow Clone can move freely within the area beneath the Blood Clouds and above the Blood Sea.

As long as the Blood Sea Seal is not destroyed, the Blood Shadow Clone will not be completely killed. Even if it is defeated, it can recover after a period of nurturing.

Song Wen can currently summon three Blood Shadow Clones, and this number will increase as his cultivation level improves.

The Blood Sea stretched for over thirty miles, which was the limit that Song Wen's current cultivation level could reach.

When Song Wen refined the Blood Sea Seal, the sheer volume of his Essence Blood and blood was unparalleled.

Since the method of refining the Blood Sea Seal was first introduced, no one has ever used such a large amount of Essence Blood to refine it as he has.

This makes the power of the Blood Sea Seal unprecedented.

However, this also resulted in the Blood Sea Seal being too powerful, so much so that even its creator, Song Wen, could not Blood Sea Seal its full potential.

What he can currently unleash is far less than one-tenth of the power of the Blood Sea Seal.
