Chapter 312

Long Chen had just stepped into the Jiuli secret realm when a primordial aura gushed over him. His FengFu Star began to circulate all on its own, crazily absorbing that aura.

As that aura was absorbed by his FengFu Star, Long Chen was surprised to realize that his FengFu Star was quickly growing larger.

Originally, it was just a small ball with indistinct images inside it, but now it seemed like it had become a whole new vibrant world, beautiful and bizarre with life-like mountains, plains, and rivers appearing within it.

“Could it be that this is the true ninth star transformation?”

Looking at his FengFu Star, that seemed as if it was its own world, Long Chen couldn’t help being shocked. He could sense a terrifying energy from his FengFu Star, one that could annihilate the heavens, exterminate the land, and break apart the dome of the sky.

But currently he could only sense the energy and was unable to use it. However, that was still enough to awe him.

After the FengFu Star quickly circulated for a while, it gradually calmed back down. Long Chen suddenly felt that his bottleneck had disappeared.

His blood, which had been silent for so long, was finally absorbing more spiritual qi. Now Long Chen finally understood.

The reason he had run into this impossible bottleneck and been unable to advance no matter what was because the outside world was now lacking this kind of primordial aura.

“Does the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art have something to do with this primordial energy? Then once I leave the secret realm, won’t I forever be unable to advance again?”

Long Chen was startled. He could sense his blood greedily absorbing that primordial energy, making him even more sure of his guess.

“No… the feeling of summoning still hasn’t faded. There’s definitely something in this secret realm that the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art needs.”

Sensing his body, he realized his body didn’t even need him to intentionally cultivate. His blood was like a starving monster that was crazily absorbing energy from the air.

According to this speed, Long Chen was sure he could reach the great circle of Blood Condensation and advance to Tendon Transformation in less than a week.

Looking around his surroundings, he saw that this world was in a state of eternal dusk, looking like primal chaos had filled the entire world.

The surrounding mountains had many bizarre stones as well as huge trees. There were many plants that didn’t exist in the outer world.

“Bloodfilled Star?”

Long Chen suddenly saw a precious medicinal herb located on a cliff not far from him. That herb was around a foot long, and there were blood-colored flowers that grew out of it.

Those flowers were extremely small and covered the plant. They looked like blood-colored stars covering a sky. They emitted a faint scent.

The Bloodfilled Star was an extremely precious fifth tier medicinal ingredient, a rare main ingredient for some fifth tier medicinal pills.

Long Chen noticed that there were actually tens of them growing out of the cliff, delighting him. The Jiuli secret realm really was filled with treasures.

Even if he didn’t need this kind of medicinal ingredient, he could still sell it for a huge number of other medicinal ingredients. Even if he offered it to the supermonastery, he would be able to obtain a vast amount of points to exchange for things he needed.

Long Chen quickly climbed up that cliff. His hand was just about to touch one of them when he suddenly felt danger and jumped back quick as lightning.

A ray of light shot right past Long Chen’s hand. That was a small snake roughly as thin as a chopstick.

That snake was covered in blood-colored spots that looked similar to the Bloodfilled Star. Hiding within the Bloodfilled Star, it was almost impossible to see it.

“Bloodfilled Poison Snake?” Long Chen let out a startled cry and hastily took a couple more steps back. Perhaps other disciples wouldn’t be sure what this tiny little snake was, but Long Chen’s Pill G.o.d memories were able to recognize medicinal ingredients as well as some Magical Beasts.

This small snake wasn’t a true Magical Beast, but it was even more terrifying than some of them. That was because its body didn’t release any pressure, so it was difficult for people to sense them.

It was just an extremely ordinary snake. Even a child would be able to smash it dead with a stick.

But the world was filled with inconceivable existences. This tiny snake was incredibly venomous. Even fourth tier Magical Beasts were unable to stop its poison.

Its poison wouldn’t take a person’s life, but it would instantly paralyze them. Even Bone Forging experts would be paralyzed.

Although the paralysis wouldn’t last long, perhaps only a quarter hour, that wasn’t their most frightening point.

Once it paralyzed you, the Bloodfilled Poison Snake would go to your eye, and using its tail, it would dig a hole straight through your head, devouring your brain tissue.

Its tail had a sharp, sawtooth-like ending. It wasn’t that sharp, but it could easily cut through a person’s eye.

Thinking of that kind of death, anyone would have their hair stand on end. There were many ways to die, but dying to the Bloodfilled Poison Snake was incredibly mournful.

That was why Long Chen’s expression had changed so greatly. In his carelessness just now, he had almost died.

That couldn’t be blamed on Long Chen. The Bloodfilled Poison Snake had already gone extinct in the outside world. The fact that it would appear now immediately raised Long Chen’s guard.

Within the Jiuli secret realm, anything could happen. A small carelessness could lead to death.

Long Chen took out some long clamps and grabbed the Bloodfilled Poison Snake’s head, not letting it open its mouth.

Other than its toxicity, it was just an ordinary snake. Normally it would stay near Bloodfilled Stars and sneak attack any Magical Beasts attracted to them.

But now that Long Chen had noticed it, its speed was incomparable to Long Chen and it was easily caught.

Long Chen took out a bottle and placed it inside. He sealed the bottle with cloth, afraid that a bottle stopper would make it suffocate.

This thing could definitely be useful to Long Chen. He couldn’t let it go to waste. Long Chen had a life ring it could be stored in temporarily.
