“Brother, please enlighten me on how to interpret the Blood God Map. I would love to cultivate the Blood Spiritual Meridian as well. I will never forget your gracious act when I have become the sanctified saint.”
Before Zhang Ruochen figured out the usage of the Blood Spiritual Meridian, a bright red light came rushing at him. It was the Monkey-Human boy running towards him with his arms open.
“What are you doing?”
Zhang Ruochen moved to the side, avoiding the boy.
The Monkey-Human boy fell with his belly lying flat on the ground and slid a few meters away. He then flipped his flexible body over, feeling embarrassed over his action.
Putting himself back together, he began introducing himself. “My name is Sun Dadi. I joined the Blood God Sect half a year ago and I wish to learn from you the method to read the Blood God Map.”
Meanwhile, Ji Shui and the elder walked over.
It was then that the thought that the Blood God Map had only been read by one man in the whole Blood God Sect hit Zhang Ruochen.
His becoming the second one would be a shocking news to the Blood God Sect.
However, he wanted to keep the Eyes of the Deity Print a secret and said, “I can’t help you. Understanding the Blood God Map is by luck.”
Clearly, Sun Dadi was not satisfied with the reply, and he continued to stare at Zhang Ruochen intently.
The elder then said, “A thousand years ago, the legendary man said the same thing. No one can guide anyone to read the Blood God Map. Everything happens by chance.” Upon hearing those words, Sun Dadi gave up and let out a long sigh.
Zhang Ruochen noticed the elder who had come back alive and bowed.
The elder nodded at him, then asked, “Who is your master?”
“My master is the great Discipline King Haiming.” Zhang Ruochen replied.
The elder’s facial expression changed. Then said, “Your talent is extraordinary, and your achievements in the future will be remarkable. But before you achieve the level of sanctified saint, do not expose the fact that you have cultivated ten Blood Spiritual Meridians. Otherwise, you might get into trouble and risk your life for it.”
The elder then shifted his gaze to Ji Shui and Sun Dadi.
Both of them felt an immense pressure weighing against their shoulders that kept them incapacitated. The stare was so intense that it felt as if they could turn into ashes if the elder blinked.
Ji Shui and Sun Dadi knelt on one knee immediately. “We will never tell others the secret,” said the both of them in unison.
This had caught Zhang Ruochen by surprise. He had never expected that the guardian of the Blood God Map would have such terrifying cultivation.
Ji Shui and Sun Dadi were both half-saints of the higher level, yet they could not withstand his one stare.
Having these powerful figures remaining hidden within the sect, it was no wonder that the Blood God Sect could oppose the Taichi Sect and the imperial court publicly in the state of Tiantai. Indeed, it was one of the seven powerful ancient sects.
The elder did not intend to kill Ji Shui and Sun Dadi. The stare was meant to be a threat.
Thereafter, the elder sat on the ground and turned into a calcified statue with no sign of life.
The three of them left and went down the hill. Yet the incident instilled in Sun Dadi a lingering fear. He commented, “The old man’s cultivation is too scary. His stare makes all half-saints feel small.”
Ji Shui remained quiet. Suddenly, she stopped walking and looked at Sun Dadi. She asked, “Half a year ago, the Ruler of the Earth Heavenly Palace brought a teenage boy back during his trip to the Eastern Ocean. You are the teenage boy, aren’t you?”
“Hehe.”
Sun Dadi smiled sheepishly and never denied her question. Ji Shui commented further, “According to the Heaven Heavenly Palace, you have a 50% chance of becoming the Deity. And your success rate is the third highest, right after Hai Lingyin and Wei Longxin.” Zhang Ruochen stopped walking too, looking rather surprised at Sun Dadi.
He had always thought that Sun Dadi was too playful for a half-saint. His childish action was nothing like what a leader would do.
“What’s the point of having a 50% chance? I am nothing compared to Brother Gu. When the world finds out that he has cultivated ten Blood Spiritual Meridians, he will be the Deity, without the need of competing,” said Sun Dadi.
“You can try revealing the news,” Ji Shui answered in a sarcastic tone.
Sun Dadi shut his mouth and shrugged his shoulders. He darted his eyes sideways to give a quick glance at the hilltop, then held his finger in front of his mouth as a sign of silence and whispered, “Just kidding! Don’t take this for real.”
Sun Dadi believed that Zhang Ruochen would surpass the legendary man from a thousand years ago. Since then, he had been calling Zhang Ruochen the big brother.
The three of them continued their journey down the hill.
Sun Dadi was a chatterbox who wouldn’t stop talking. He continued, “The old man at the hilltop must be some high ranking elder in the Blood God Sect. Why couldn’t he tell the Hierarch about Brother Gu and name him the Deity? Since he knew about Brother Gu’s talent…”
Ji Shui and Zhang Ruochen both kept quiet.
He then said, “Would it be because it would be too obvious for Brother Gu to become the Deity, thus raising unnecessary suspicion from the other ancient sects?”
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen stopped and looked in the direction of a lake not far away from them.
Someone was talking by the lake.

The Purple Green Lake was situated at the hillside of the Qianyuan mountain. Its water was as clear as crystal and cloaked in a veil of Holy Qi, making it the perfect spot to cultivate.
It was the Saintess of the Blood God Sect having a walk with the fellow candidates, discussing the current issues happening in the Kunlun’s Field.
Standing next to the Saintess was a man in five-colored saint armor.
With a height measuring two meters tall, along with square shoulders that fit perfectly in his armor, he exuded an aura equivalent to the God of War, which made his presence terrifying and outstanding compared to the other candidates.
This man was the infamous talent of the Blood God Sect, Wei Longxing, who had just returned from the Thousand Void World battleground.
According to the Heaven Heavenly Palace, Wei Longxing had a 60% success rate of becoming the Deity, right after Hai Lingyin.
The five-color glow his armor emitted, paired with the Saintess’ saint light, made everyone fix their eyes on the divine pair as they walked side by side.
“Before I left the Thousand Void World battleground, I received the news that the Blue Dragon Void World would vanish in a few months’ time. By that time, there will be a huge fight over the land right among the ancient families and the seven sects,” said Wei Longxing.
The news shocked the other candidates.
The Blue Dragon Void World was the greatest Void World. Its size was second to Kunlun’s Field. It had lived through a few hundred centuries, and had nurtured countless powerful warriors.
Some of them were very influential in Kunlun’s field.
Yet, the once great Void World had fallen.
“Is this why the Hierarch has been so eager to select the new Deity?” one of the candidates asked.
Wei Longxing nodded and replied, “Apparently, the seven ancient sects have been preparing their respective Deity and Saintess. Those on the Half-Saint Rank will show themselves too.”
The Saintess looked at him with her beautiful radiant eyes and said, “Brother Wei, I’m sure your cultivation is strong enough to be listed on the Half-Saint Rank.”
Wei Longxing replied with sparkles in his eyes that reflected confidence and pride. “I am only half a step away from achieving the saint level. It won’t matter to me whether or not I will be listed on the Half-Saint Rank.”
The more he pretended not to care, the more he yearned to be on the list.
To be listed on the Half-Saint Rank was an honor all half-saints had dreamt of.
One candidate, Baiyu, who had been following behind the Saintess throughout said sarcastically, “As far as I know, the nine heirs are well-prepared. They will be taking nine spots of the Half-Saint Rank. Who do you think you are to be listed on the Half-Saint Rank?”
Wei Longxing threw a sideways glance at him and snapped, “How could someone ignorant dare to speak about the Half-Saint Rank?”
“Who’s ignorant?”
Baiyu had disliked Wei Longxing since the beginning. The Saintess had only been talking to him the moment he came back from the battleground.
She was acting as if there was no other candidate other than Wei Longxing.
Wei Longxing shook his head and said, “You are the ignorant one. And you dare to talk back to me?”
Baiyu shifted his gaze to the Saintess, only to find a smirk spread across her beautiful face.
Baiyu could tolerate no more.
He formed his fingers into a sword sign, which then projected a sword beam dashing at Wei Longxing.
Wei Longxing did not even twitch at the incoming attack and remained stationary.
Baiyu’s Sword Qi vanished into thin air the moment it touched Wei Longxing.
“How’s that possible?”
Baiyu’s facial expression changed.
He was a Level Three Half-Saint after all. It would at least require some effort to withstand his attack. But Wei Longxing did not move a single bit.
The other candidates were stunned too.
“Even if Wei Longxing chooses to remain stationary for the forthcoming attack, it will still be the same for Baiyu. Indeed, Wei Longxing’s cultivation is no less than those listed on the Half-Saint Rank,” one candidate commented.
“Why couldn’t you accept the fact that you are ignorant?” said Wei Longxing.
A dark shadow came splitting off from his body and flew toward Baiyu. Giving his shadow a slight wave, Baiyu was thrown into the lake, making big splashes.
The shadow then returned to his body.
He had not moved at all. Every other candidate was intimidated by his strength.
Zhang Ruochen, Sun Dadi and Jishui had been witnessing everything from afar.
Sun Dadi gasped, “Wei Longxing is a rare talent. I bet he will achieve the saint level before he hits a hundred years old.”
“Fortunately, the characteristics the judges are looking for in a Deity are talent and his potential. If it’s solely on combat power, no one would be able to defeat Wei Longxing,” Ji Shui commented.
