Chapter 967: The Seven Ancient Sects

Discipline King Haiming and Ji Shui stood above the cliff. They saw Blue Night and Zhang Ruochen’s duel very clearly.

Ji Shui was extremely shocked. Standing in a puff of bloody mist, she said, “Gu Linfeng actually cultivated the sixth aperture. His Seven-Aperture Blood Palm is comparable to a saint spell now. It’s incredible.”

It had always been said that the fifth aperture of the Seven-Aperture Blood Palm was a human’s limit. Only the talented Vampires could open the sixth aperture.

Since Gu Linfeng dared to use the power of the sixth aperture, this meant that he wasn’t a spy from the Vampires. What opportunity had he met that allowed him to cultivate the Seven-Aperture Blood Palm to such a high level?

Even Discipline King Haiming found it unbelievable. If Gu Linfeng had really accomplished it with his own power, wouldn’t Discipline King Haiming have to reconsider his value?

“This is quite a big surprise. My efforts in talking to True Immortal Qi to save him have not gone to waste.”

He smiled mysteriously and nodded as if making some kind of decision.

Below the cliff, Zhang Ruochen wiped the blood at his lips. His eyes shone with determination as he stared at Blue Night. “Senior Uncle Blue, your previous attack was too harsh, wasn’t it?”

Blue Night was a high-level Half-Saint with an advanced mindset. He quickly recovered from his shock. Massaging his palms, he said coldly, “Harsh? I didn’t even use ten percent of my power. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to stand and talk now.”

“I said that the Deity’s death has nothing to do with me,” Zhang Ruochen said coldly. “If you still don’t believe me, I’ll report to grand-master and let him judge me fairly.”

You want to report to him? You don’t know that he’s the one who wishes to teach you a lesson. Thinking of this, scorn flashed past Blue Night’s eyes.

“You’ve only spent a few days in the Nether Heavenly Palace and you’ve already forgotten how to respect your seniors?” Blue Night huffed. “Even if the Deity’s death has nothing to do with you, I must still teach you how to speak to a senior.”

He opened his arms like an eagle with spread wings. A pair of ice wings dozens of feet long formed on his back. Three beams of icy Qi flowed quickly around the two large wings.

An ancient voice sounded from above the cliff. “Blue Night, how dare you not stop?”

Whoosh. Whoosh.

Two beams of light flew down from the abyss and landed on the ground. After settling, they formed into Discipline King Haiming and Ji Shui.

Hair flying, Discipline King Haiming slammed a hand forward. He was around 80 feet away. The powerful palm print formed rings of waves and hit Blue Night.

The man flew out like a scarecrow and smashed against the cliff. With a boom, the firm rock caved in. Broken rubble rolled down.

“Master…”

Half of Blue Night’s body was crushed under the rubble and ice. His hair was messy and there was a bloody imprint on his chest. His body caved in slightly.

He didn’t understand. Discipline King Haiming was the one that told him to teach Gu Linfeng a lesson. He hadn’t even acted yet. How come the master punished him first?

With a wave of his sleeve, Discipline King Haiming said unhappily, “Blue Night, who told you to act on your own accord and punish your junior nephew like this?”

“I…I…”

Blue Night didn’t know why Discipline King Haiming had suddenly changed his mind, but he naturally didn’t dare to ask. He climbed up with difficulty. Clutching his burning chest, he bowed before Discipline King Haiming.

“I only wanted to test his cultivation, nothing more.”

“It better be like that. Otherwise, I won’t forgive you.” Discipline King Haiming huffed coldly. Acting very angry, he roared, “Apologize immediately!”

Blue Night was very unwilling, but he didn’t dare go against Discipline King Haiming.

“Nephew, this was my mistake. Please do not be offended,” Blue Night apologized to Zhang Ruochen, trying to use a gentle tone. However, there was deep resentment in his eyes. It was unknown whether he was hating Zhang Ruochen or Discipline King Haiming.

If Zhang Ruochen hadn’t known that Discipline King Haiming was nearby, he probably would’ve believed that the man was protecting him.

One was being evil while the other was pretending to be nice. It was interesting.

Zhang Ruochen still looked unhappy. “Senior Uncle Blue, you’re the senior. How dare I be angry at you?”

Discipline King Haiming waved his hand for Blue Night to retreat. Then he walked to Zhang Ruochen. A smile appeared on his ancient face.

“Linfeng, how did you cultivate the sixth aperture of the Seven-Aperture Blood Palm?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t panic. He’d already thought about how to reply.

He hurriedly bowed to Discipline King Haiming, acting respectful. “Grand-master, I recently had a surprising occurrence. It’s all due to luck for me to open the sixth aperture.”

“Oh? What surprising occurrence?” Discipline King Haiming was curious. Eyes narrowing, he asked, “Could it have something to do with the days you went missing?”

“I really can’t keep anything from you.” Expression serious, Zhang Ruochen nodded and said cautiously, “Grand-master, you had me investigate the secret of the Bottomless Abyss. I’ve always placed it in the highest importance. Actually, I went into the Bottomless Abyss during those days.”

Hearing his words, Blue Night and Ji Shui both gasped. They were shocked. How could he return alive from the Bottomless Abyss?

Evidently, they didn’t know much about the Bottomless Abyss’ secrets. They might not even know that it had three gradients.

Discipline King Haiming knew a bit more about it. However, his eyes also shone right now. “You went to the first gradient?” he asked immediately.

“Yes.” Zhang Ruochen nodded.

“You discovered the secret?” Discipline King Haiming continued.

Thus, Zhang Ruochen revealed the secret about the blood beasts.

Discipline King Haiming seemed to know about the blood beasts, so he wasn’t interested. He continued asking, “You said that you had a special occurrence in the first gradient, allowing you to open the sixth aperture. What was it?”

“Deep inside the first gradient, there’s a deep gully. In the bottom there is an abnormal density of blood Qi. Sometimes, there’s even a red beam of light that shoots into the sky. I stood outside the gully and used the powerful blood Qi to open my sixth aperture.”

“It must be the blood Qi left behind by the Blood Empress,” Discipline King Haiming said with certainty. His eyes burned even hotter. At the same time, a different expression emerged on his face. He was thinking about something.

Half a beat later, he asked, “Did you go to the bottom of the gully? Does it lead to the second gradient?”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and sighed. “The blood Qi there is very strong, but it also contains the Qi of death. With my cultivation, I could only investigate on the border. I didn’t dare approach it.”

Discipline King Haiming nodded. He didn’t blame Zhang Ruochen. “It’s already impressive for you to reach this step with your cultivation. Now, write down the specific position of the gully in detail. With your contribution, I can help you find a way to dissolve the Blood God Venomous Worm in you.”

Zhang Ruochen naturally showed an extremely grateful expression. Then he used his finger as a pen and the cliff as paper to begin carving.

Whoosh! His hand waved in the air and dozens of patterns appeared.

Zhang Ruochen naturally had his own plans for doing this. From now on, Zhang Ruochen prepared to stay hidden in the Blood God Sect and investigate all the secrets of the sect and Bottomless Abyss.

However, if Discipline King Haiming was still alive, he would keep restricting Zhang Ruochen. The best plan was to kill Discipline King Haiming.

His cultivation was too high to be detected. Even Ghost King Bloodmoon wasn’t his match. Zhang Ruochen had to use outer help to kill him.

Both the blood demon and that mysterious man on the huge beast were both undisputable strong cultivators. I’ll lead Discipline King Haiming to the Bottomless Abyss. If he meets them, he’ll probably die, no matter how high his cultivation is.

Zhang Ruochen quickly finished carving the map. Complicated lines appeared on the cliff.

Discipline King memorized the position of the gully. Waving his hand, powerful Holy Qi surged over and shattered the towering cliff. It sank into the earth.

He was in a great mood. Chuckling, he said, “Linfeng, it’s both easy and difficult to dissolve the Blood God Venomous Worm. The critical point is that you must fight for it.”

“Master, please enlighten me,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Discipline King caressed his whiskers. “The Blood God Sect’s foundations are deep and spread out amongst the nine states of the Central Region. There are countless Saints and strong cultivators hidden throughout. We are one of the seven ancient sects of the Central Region. In the state of Taitian, we are the top force as well. We’re comparable to the Taichi Sect and imperial court.”

“Every ancient sect picks a Deity and Saintess from the younger generation. Not only are they the future heirs of the sect, they’re also the leaders of the younger generation. They represent the ancient sect and show the sect’s attitude when traveling throughout the world.”

“In a way, the Deity and Saintess’ abilities represent the sect’s abilities as well. As the Blood God Sect is one of the seven ancient sects, it naturally has its own Deity and Saintess.

“However, Mei Lanzhu’s death greatly affected the Blood God Sect’s reputation and image. Thus, the founder has ordered for the newest Deity to be chosen next month.”

Zhang Ruochen understood easily. “So you wish for me to try for the Deity’s position?”

Discipline King Haiming smiled. “If you can become the Deity, the founder will definitely take you to visit the god corpse. By then, eradicating the Blood God Venomous Worm in you will be a piece of cake.”
