1398 Rapid Developmen (1/2)

Apotheon Bella recalled what Tang Xiu had told her before she made for the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect. She glanced at Supreme Star Soul, and after a few moments of hesitation, she greeted him with a cup of her fists. ”Bella greets Father.”

”Pfft…” Star Tears couldn't hold back her laughter.

An embarrassed expression cropped up on Apotheon Bella's face as she whispered, ”He… told me to address you that way.”

Supreme Star Soul's lips curved up into a smile as he laughed out warmly. ”Good. This is a very nice appellation. I'm quite satisfied with it. So, Bella… you can address me this way from now.”

To escape from the embarrassment in her heart, Apotheon Bella suddenly said the following words, ”Let's find a quiet location to talk. I have an important matter to tell you.”

Since Apotheon Bella and Sablefiend Scorpio had risked their lives to enter the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect, Supreme Star Soul knew they must have done so for a very important matter. Hence, he brought the two of them to the meeting hall of the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect and activated the array inside the hall to isolate it from the outside world. Then, he inquired. ”Bella, what's so important that Xiu'er sent you here? Also, since the two of you have come over, does he still have a powerhouse protecting him?”

Apotheon Bella took a jade bottle out from her interspatial ring and handed it over to Supreme Star Soul. ”There are three reasons Xiu sent me over to the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect. Firstly, it was so that Sablefiend Scorpio and I can guard the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect just in case the Inner Pill Sect and the Everlasting Palace succeed in breaking the protection array and attack all of a sudden. Secondly, we came here to bring over a large number of medicinal pills and divine weapons that would be a great help to the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect. Thirdly, it was to hand over the thing inside the bottle.”

Supreme Star Soul felt excited. ”We have a total of five Supremes on our side now that the two of you have arrived here. So, it would be hard to say who would win even if they decide to battle us right now.”

Star Tears shook her head. ”Elder Brother. Although we indeed have five Supremes on our side, you know that the enemy consists of not just the Inner Pill Sect, but also that person… His battle strength is very overpowered, so it would be hard to kill him even if several Supremes besiege him, and there's even a chance of suffering some losses.”

Supreme Star Soul calmed down and nodded silently. ”That's true. Bella, what's inside this jade bottle?”

Apotheon Bella saw that Supreme Star Soul intended to open the cork on the jade bottle, so she rushed to stop him. ”Father, don't open the cork right now. The bottle contains the blood of a god, so every single drop of it's very precious. You must make sure to contain its aura when you take out the god blood from inside later, or else it would bring us needless troubles if someone nearby were to sense it.”

”What did you say?” Supreme Star Soul's body stiffened as he directed a gaze full of disbelief at Apotheon Bella.

Star Tears clutched Apotheon Bella's arm suddenly and asked with a shocked expression, ”Bella, this jade bottle has god blood inside it? How… is that even possible? I haven't remembered it wrong; the Myriad Saint Sect obtained a few drops of god blood a hundred thousand or so years ago and suffered the assault of countless powerhouses of the Immortal World. Even dozens of Supremes had attacked them back then.

”At least ten Supremes fell during this battle along with many Perfected Golden Immortal Stage powerhouses, and the nearly hundred drops of god blood were obtained by the powerhouses of the surviving forces. It's rumored that the amount of god blood has been on a declining slope over the past hundred thousand years, so the number of forces that still have some god blood left can be counted on one's fingers.

”Bella. Where did Xiu'er obtain the god blood from? How many drops are inside this bottle?”

Apotheon Bella's lips curved up into a smile as she looked at the three pairs of eyes that were observing her fixedly. She burst out in laughter and said, ”There's a total of a hundred thousand drops of god blood inside it.”

”What?” Star Tears' eyes turned wide open. She snatched the jade bottle from Supreme Star Soul's hands instantly and checked its contents with her spiritual sense once she had sealed the bottle's mouth with her power. Her body trembled when she realized how many drops of god blood the jade bottle really contained, and an irrevocable shocked expression appeared on her face.

It was really too shocking to Star Tears as she had never thought that so much god blood would appear within the Immortal World. The amount was just too terrifying.

Supreme Star Soul snatched the jade bottle back. After checking the amount of god blood present inside the jade bottle, he had gone wholly numb from the shock and asked Apotheon Bella with a glazed expression, ”How?”

Apotheon Bella chuckled. ”Xiu went to the Nefas Abyss sometime ago and obtained an almost intact god's corpse from there. It has a few million drops of god blood at the very least and may even have as many as ten million drops inside it. He prepared these hundred thousand drops for the powerhouses of the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect and asked me to bring them over, so please make use of them to the very best and ensure that all the powerhouses above the Golden Immortal Stage make enormous progress in their cultivation.”

After saying this, Apotheon Bella took out another thing from her interspatial ring and handed it over to Supreme Star Soul. ”Father, this is a piece of god bone. Xiu said that you are quite gifted in the field of artifact refining, so he asked me to bring this piece of god bone over and told me to tell you to refine it into your ideal immortal artifact.”

”A god's bone?” Supreme Star Soul clenched his fists tightly, and his voice brimmed with excitement. ”I could barely produce an 8th-grade immortal artifact even with an abundant amount of precious resources in hand. However, I'm fairly certain that I will be able to produce a 9th-grade immortal artifact with this piece of god bone in hand, and perhaps there's even a chance of producing a quasi-divine artifact. Xiu'er is indeed worthy of being my Supreme Star Soul's son. With so much god blood in hand, the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect will undoubtedly experience an explosive increase in strength and become at least twice as strong.”

Supreme Star Radiance remained silent all the while. Although he felt quite excited as well, he still felt deeply concerned and asked the question which kept bothering him the most yet again, ”Bella. Does Xiu'er still have the protection of a powerhouse now that you two Supremes have come over to the Vermillion Bird Holy Sect? The Great Tang Empire has been developing too fiercely in the past one hundred years, so a few of the elite powers might show hostility towards them. What if…”
