Rumors of Taotie Essence Blood
hiss...
Those present gasped in astonishment upon witnessing this scene.
"As expected of the closed-door disciple of the Great Sage Qiankun, the Demon-Rooting Heavenly Saber is truly invincible among those of the same realm."
"Yes, every deputy general in the Black Dragon Army is a top-notch expert, yet none of them could withstand a single move from him. It seems that without the Great Sage, no one can fight him."
"..."
Wang Baole listened to the discussions of the crowd without any change in expression on his face, but slowly turned his gaze to the disciples of the Northern Abyss Holy Dynasty.
"Do you want to avenge him?"
The disciple from the Northern Abyss Holy Dynasty was already terrified. He couldn't even escape in time, let alone dare to fight Wang Baole. He hurriedly said, "No... I wouldn't dare."
Wang Baole laughed and said, "Since that's the case, get lost. Remember, if you see me again, get as far away as possible."
"Promise."
After responding, the disciple of the Northern Abyss Holy Dynasty hurriedly turned and fled.
He tripped over something and fell face-first to the ground.
But he didn't dare turn back, and quickly got up and rushed into the woods.
Wang Baole did not continue to pursue the disciple; he simply pocketed the seventh lieutenant's spoils.
He was about to speak when he noticed that the seventh lieutenant's body was being swallowed by the earth.
The bizarre scene made Wang Baole frown instinctively.
His every move was under the watchful eyes of everyone around him.
Everyone was confused about what was wrong with Wang Baole, and their instinctive reaction was to keep their distance from him.
Just then, Wang Baole spoke up, "Stop."
Upon hearing this, everyone present trembled and froze on the spot, turning to look at Wang Baole with fawning smiles on their faces.
One of the elders asked, "What brings you here, Fellow Heavenly Saber?"
Wang Baole pointed to the corpse of the seventh deputy general. "Can anyone tell me what happened here?"
Upon hearing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "To be honest, it is said that after the Demon Saint Taotie passed away, his soul merged with the entire Northern Jade Mountain."
Therefore, the entire Northern Jade Mountain possesses the devouring properties of Taotie; it will devour any inanimate object that can be eaten.
"I see."
Wang Baole murmured, "So, the Taotie Demon Saint didn't perish."
The old man nodded slightly. "That's one way to put it. However, no one knows when that Demon Saint will fully awaken. But as long as you gain its approval, you can obtain a drop of Taotie blood essence and comprehend the Devouring Divine Power."
Upon hearing this, Wang Baole narrowed his eyes instantly. For others, the essence of the Taotie was merely used to comprehend supernatural powers, but for him, it was different.
He already possessed the Taotie Physique; if he could obtain that drop of essence blood, he would likely be able to comprehend the True Essence of the Great Dao.
This trip to Northern Jade Mountain was definitely worthwhile.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand. "You can all leave."
call...
Many people breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and clasped their hands in farewell.
After thinking for a while, Wang Baole decided to meet up with his two wives first.
Although communication talismans cannot be used in these mountains, he firmly believes that he and his two wives will be able to find each other through their telepathic connection.
He began searching through the dense forest, and soon he discovered a thousand-year-old blood ginseng and a fleshy Ganoderma.
Moreover, both of these medicinal herbs have developed spirituality, making them rare and precious natural treasures.
A day later, Wang Baole finally reunited with his two wives Nangong Yu and Wang Yufei.
Seeing that the two girls were unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern, "Yu'er, Yufei, are you alright?"
We're fine.
The two women said in unison.
"My lord, where should we go now?"
Nangong Yu asked.
Wang Baole said, "Naturally, we're heading towards the core area of Northern Jade Mountain to compete for the Taotie's essence blood."
"Good."
The two women responded and followed Wang Baole onward.
As the three of them ventured deeper into the mountains, they encountered more and more fellow disciples.
In just one day, more than a dozen disciples from the Dao-Seeking Academy gathered around Wang Baole.
They also gained a lot along the way.
As evening fell, the group set up camp on a small hillside.
Wang Yufei and Nangong Yu went to fetch water from the stream next to the campsite.
Although they no longer need to satisfy their appetites, with chef Wang Baole around, the sense of ritual in their lives is still indispensable.
Just as the two women finished fetching water and were about to return to the camp, several beautiful and aloof women blocked their way.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Nangong Yu instinctively prepared to draw his magical weapon to fight back.
The woman in red, who was at the head of the group, looked at Wang Yufei and said, "Fellow Daoist, I see that you have exceptional talent. Would you be interested in joining our Emotion-Forsaking Palace?"
Without a second thought, Wang Yufei refused, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist, but I am already married and have no interest in your Emotion-Forsaking Palace."
The woman in red, far from being angry upon hearing this, smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, although you wear your hair in a beautiful updo, you still possess the essence of yin. It seems your husband doesn't love you at all. Why not join our Emotion-Forsaking Palace? That way, you'll save yourself the trouble of searching for someone to forget your love."
Nangong Yu didn't speak; she just glanced at Wang Yufei.
They had lived together for a long time and were now like sisters, but if Wang Yufei wanted to leave, she wouldn't stop her.
Wang Yufei continued, "Senior sister, although your Emotion-Forsaking Palace is wonderful, I am unwilling to forget love. My husband and I have not consummated our marriage, not because he doesn't love me, but because he hopes I can maintain my virginity and reach a higher level. There's no need to bring this up again."
Upon hearing this, a girl in a green dress standing next to the woman in red immediately became enraged. She said arrogantly:
"Little girl, don't push your luck. It's your good fortune that our Martial Uncle Hong has taken a liking to you. She is a Nirvana Realm elder of our Emotion-Forsaking Palace. Someone with your background probably has never received any guidance from a Nirvana Realm expert in their entire life."
"Snort!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu sneered, "Such arrogance! My Dao-Seeking Academy has not only Nirvana Realm cultivators, but also Half-Saint and Saint. Don't think you're the only disciples of a holy land. If a fight really breaks out, we're not afraid of you."
Upon hearing this, the women of the Emotion-Forsaking Palace's expressions changed slightly. They hadn't expected that their chance encounter with two little girls fetching water would lead them to meet disciples of the Holy Land.
Elder Hong said calmly, "So you are disciples of the Dao-Seeking Academy. We were mistaken earlier. Farewell."
"Wait."
Nangong Yu called out to the crowd.
"Is something the matter?"
Elder Hong frowned slightly and asked.
Nangong Yu said in a deep voice, "That woman in the green dress just now humiliated my sister. Do you think you can leave without apologizing?"
