Heavenly God Blood

"But no creature in the Blood Moving Realm has ever cultivated its raw physical strength to two hundred thousand jin.

Even pure-blooded creatures cannot do it, let alone humans."

Faced with the Old Golden Spider's doubts, Shi Yi remained unmoved. He knew that Shi Hao, who lived in Stone Village, had achieved it, and naturally, he intended to do the same.

Tempering the body had to begin in the Blood Moving Realm. Every step was a struggle.

"What others cannot achieve is not necessarily beyond me, Shi Yi. I ask both patriarchs to lend me your strength," Shi Yi said, his gaze resolute.

The two Venerables met his eyes, trying to find a trace of wavering within them. They were disappointed.

Whether Shi Yi could accomplish it or not, such spirit deserved recognition.

Both the Old Golden Spider and the Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider were moved. A five-year-old human child, born with a frail body, had resolved to surpass the limits and set a record deemed impossible. Not everyone dared to do such a thing.

Especially when he spoke those words before two Venerables comparable to human emperors. In that instant, they felt certain they had judged him correctly.

"Of course, Yi'er. Go ahead and follow your own ideas. Forge your own path. Demon Spirit Lake will give you its utmost support.

But even human strength has its limits. Always remember to act within your means," the Old Golden Spider cautioned.

Shi Yi nodded.

Then the Old Golden Spider told Shi Ziteng to take Shi Yi away for a short rest. The two Venerables were going to begin preparing the materials needed for the baptism.

After witnessing Shi Yi's talent and ambition, the two Venerables of Demon Spirit Lake resolved to do everything in their power to help him approach his goal of one hundred and eight thousand jin with a single arm.

They no longer intended to hold anything back. This time, they would bleed their coffers dry and indulge in a little madness.

"One hundred and eight thousand jin with a single arm. This boy really dares to dream."

"Although he most likely cannot reach it, we must not dismiss him too soon, lest we deal him a blow.

We need only do our utmost to help him."

The Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider nodded at those words.

"Mm. In that case, we cannot spare the Divine Spirit Blood our clan has treasured," he said thoughtfully.

"Divine Spirit Blood? No. Bring out that drop of Heavenly God Blood that has lain sealed away for so long," the Old Golden Spider said, his eyes gleaming.

"What? Heavenly God Blood? That is something our clan's founding ancestor left behind to save lives.

Besides, how terrifying is Heavenly God Blood? Even though our founding ancestor refined away the dangerous substances within it, leaving only the essence beneficial to the body, it is still not something a human child can withstand." Shock crossed the Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider's face.

Heavenly God Blood concerned the very foundation of Demon Spirit Lake. It was one of their clan's greatest reserves. How could they bring it out so lightly?

The Old Golden Spider shook his head.

"Azure Demon, you underestimate him far too much. That bone in his chest alone is a bottomless pit, never mind his Double Pupils.

You also overestimate the Heavenly God Blood a little. From the Ancient Era until now, that drop of Heavenly God Blood has been used several times already. The essence it contains is nowhere near what it once was. Of course, it still utterly eclipses Divine Spirit Blood. Giving him Heavenly God Blood could not be more fitting. Perhaps we really can create a miracle."

The Old Golden Spider's eyes flickered, revealing a trace of madness.

The Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider glanced at him several times, strongly suspecting that Shi Yi's bold declarations had swayed the Old Golden Spider.

Come to think of it, if an ordinary human prodigy had spoken those words, he would only have sneered and shaken his head, believing the speaker did not know his own limits. But with Shi Yi, although he still did not believe the boy could achieve it, a sliver of uncertainty arose deep within his heart.

"Very well. You are the lord of Demon Spirit Lake. We will do as you say," the Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider said with a sigh.

The Old Golden Spider nodded, then brought up Sacred Medicine. This was the finest medicine for laying a creature's foundation. There were few such plants in the entire Desolate Region. Even places as powerful as the Primordial Divine Mountains possessed only an exceedingly small, limited number.

Now, to forge the strongest foundation for Shi Yi, he was throwing caution to the wind and bringing out Demon Spirit Lake's Sacred Medicine.

"We are already using Heavenly God Blood. What is one plant of Sacred Medicine?" The Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider was neither surprised nor opposed. Since they had already decided to stake their bet on him, they might as well wager everything.

The two spiders then discussed the other supplementary medicines and listed them together.

Once they had finalized the list of materials, the Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider could not help exclaiming, "Such an astonishing cauldron of medicine will be enough to build him the strongest cultivation foundation in the Desolate Region.

Boundless essence will lie dormant within his body, becoming a reserve that slowly releases over time. It will be enough for him to charge into the Inscription Realm."

The Old Golden Spider wholeheartedly agreed.

Such a wildly extravagant baptism would undoubtedly benefit Shi Yi immensely. Not only would it offer tremendous advantages for his cultivation in the Blood Moving Realm, but its effects would also extend to the realms that followed.

With the list complete, the two Venerables of Demon Spirit Lake immediately set off to make preparations.

Some of the supplementary medicines on it were far from ordinary. Demon Spirit Lake did not even possess certain ones, so they would have to visit other Primordial Divine Mountains to trade for them or request them.

That task fell to the Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider. As the lord of Demon Spirit Lake, it would be somewhat inappropriate for the Old Golden Spider to personally visit others seeking medicine.

The Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider was a distinguished Venerable. If he visited those Primordial Divine Mountains in person, anyone would show him some measure of respect.

After bidding farewell to the Old Golden Spider, the Azure Demon Black-Eyed Spider set out alone. It had been a long time since he had visited those Primordial Divine Mountains. He spent most of his time in secluded cultivation, but this time, he had no choice. He had to go.

The Old Golden Spider also began preparing the principal ingredients. First, he went to the forbidden grounds in the deepest reaches of Demon Spirit Lake. Exercising his authority as its lord, he opened the treasury and retrieved an ancient earthenware jar that had long been sealed within the forbidden area.

It was covered in seals and inscribed with numerous mysterious runes, as though they could shut out the power of time.

After retrieving the ancient earthenware jar, he collected large quantities of Precious Medicine and materials along the way.

Finally, the Old Golden Spider walked across the azure waters of Demon Spirit Lake toward its center.

Gradually, mist rose over the lake. The closer he drew to its center, the denser the mist became. With practiced ease, the Old Golden Spider passed through the thick mist formed from spiritual energy and arrived at the heart of Demon Spirit Lake.

Ahead, something rooted in the lake waters radiated light through the dense mist.

It was a Silver Lotus, its entire body wreathed in sacred light. The mist formed from spiritual energy was emanating from it.

Before he even approached, an astonishing medicinal fragrance washed over him and entered his nose and mouth, opening his pores and suffusing his whole body with comfort.

This was Demon Spirit Lake's Sacred Medicine. In the vast world, a single medicinal plant of this caliber was difficult to find. Most were concentrated within the Primordial Divine Mountains.

To save Shi Hao, Shi Ziling and his wife had sought Sacred Medicine, choosing to venture to the outskirts of the Primordial Divine Mountains.

Unfortunately, the Primordial Divine Mountains housed peerless experts comparable to the human emperors of ancient kingdoms. With their strength, Shi Ziling and his wife were simply unqualified to set foot upon them.

With utmost care, the Old Golden Spider plucked a portion of the Sacred Medicine and placed it in a jade vessel he had prepared beforehand.
