Ji Yuan: "..."
The two walked while bickering, and soon, Ji Yuan heard the sound of water ahead.
Moreover, this sound was not the usual "splashing" of flowing water, but the "gurgling" sound emitted when blood flows within the body.
If Ji Yuan were to fully mobilize his own Blood Qi, he could also make such a sound.
"We’re here."
Dong Qian, who was walking in front, stopped.
Ji Yuan dared not recklessly extend his Divine Sense and looked ahead, seeing an underground river appear in the corridor ahead.
But unlike other underground rivers that flow with water, this one flowed with blood.
The river wasn’t wide, about a dozen zhang across, and all he could see was a vast expanse of crimson red.
And this blood, having flowed for countless years, was almost turning into plasma, its consistency very viscous.
The Blood River flowed from west to east, and although no rocks were visible along the river, the blood still occasionally surged with waves.
No one knew where this Blood River originated or where it ultimately flowed... but Ji Yuan speculated that this Blood River was a cycle, endlessly rotating around this tomb, otherwise there couldn’t be a constant replenishnt of blood.
But if that’s the case, what powers this Blood River’s flow?
One can only say that the Cultivation Realm is indeed quite sophisticated.
"If you ca from the Wei Family’s side, you would only reach a branch of this Blood River, where the Blood Qi isn’t as abundant; this place connects to my ancestor’s tomb chamber and is the area with the most abundant Blood Qi."
"Junior Brother, if you wish to condense the Sword Embryo, this is the place."
"I’ll act as your Guardian."
Discussing matters related to cultivation, Dong Qian was no longer playful as before.
"Alright, then I’ll trouble Senior Sister."
Ji Yuan hadn’t forgotten that the initial reason for coming to this Ancient Battlefield was to find the Blood River to condense the Sword Embryo.
Now with the Blood River right before him, naturally, he had no intention of delaying.
He sat down right where he was, first calming his mind and circulating his Spiritual Qi through a few cycles.
Then he began attempting to absorb the Water Transport here to condense the Sword Embryo.
Dong Qian sat behind him, guarding the corridor entrance, silently acting as his Guardian.
To condense the Water Transport Sword Embryo, one must first perceive the Water Transport; Ji Yuan had done this many tis before, so it shouldn’t be difficult for him.
But this ti, things were different.
Sitting by the Blood River, he spent several days without perceiving the Water Transport of this Blood River.
It didn’t seem right; could it be this Blood River has no Water Transport?
Or is the Water Transport of this Blood River sowhat special?
Just as Ji Yuan was puzzled, he suddenly sensed tendrils of Blood Qi rising above the Blood River, a feeling exactly like when he previously condensed the Dragon Fortune Sword Embryo on Li Hua River.
Except at that ti, the Blood Qi contained too much resentnt, and as soon as Ji Yuan sensed it, he severed the connection.
But this ti is different; to be blunt, this ti he relies on this Blood Qi to condense the Sword Embryo.
So Ji Yuan let this Blood Qi enter his body, but as soon as it entered, he felt sothing strange.
The Water Transport contained within this Blood Qi had too much killing intent.
As soon as the Water Transport entered his ridians, Ji Yuan felt his own vicious nature being roused... kill!
The urge to kill humans, kill demons; only slaughter could relieve the killing intent within his heart.
And as the Blood Qi entering his body increased, Ji Yuan felt his temples pulsing.
No, if this continues, I fear the Blood Qi will reach my brain. But how did the Li Family withstand it? Right, they went to the branch of this Blood River where the Blood Qi wasn’t as intense... Just as Ji Yuan contemplated temporarily giving up and moving to the branch, he suddenly sensed a cool aura emanating from behind.
This aura entered his body, suppressing the killing intent in his heart.
It was Dong Qian who intervened!
"Junior Brother, don’t be distracted; quickly condense the Sword Embryo."
Ji Yuan resud his focus, and without the interference of killing intent, he smoothly began condensing the Sword Embryo.
As more and more Blood Qi Water Transport was absorbed into his body.
The Blood Qi in his Dantian grew increasingly dense.
After several more days passed, until the Water Transport in the Dantian reached its limit, Ji Yuan attempted to condense this Water Transport into a Sword Embryo.
Having prior experience, he was not worried.
Previously, his only concern was his inability to absorb Water Transport.
The Blood Qi Water Transport in his Dantian rotated continuously, while the three other Sword Embryos acted like guards, circling these Water Transport around without pause.
With each revolution, this Water Transport shrank slightly.
Until... it condensed into a solid form.
But that still wasn’t enough; he had to transform this solidified Water Transport into a Sword Embryo.
Then, under the reflection of the other three Sword Embryos, the Sword Embryo of the Blood Slaughter Sword gradually ford.
At first, the Blood Qi in the Dantian was completely absorbed by this Blood Slaughter Sword.
After that, it needed to continue absorbing the Water Transport from the Blood River.
Thus, several more days passed.
The entire process took half a month.
Finally, Ji Yuan opened his eyes abruptly, a streak of blood-red flashed through them, and with a thought, a blood-colored Flying Sword flew from within him, hovering before him.
"Junior Brother, did you succeed?"
A delighted voice from Dong Qian ca from behind.
"Yes."
Ji Yuan gazed at the Blood Slaughter Sword before him... pure blood red, without a trace of impurity, and he could feel the intense killing intent within the Sword Embryo just by looking at it.
’Without a doubt, this Blood Slaughter Sword should be the Sword Embryo with the strongest destructive power I possess.’
’When it’s ti to break formations or armor, it will rely on this.’
Ji Yuan was also grateful to have t Dong Qian here; without her help, even if he could condense this Sword Embryo, it wouldn’t be as strong.
Moreover, if it weren’t for her intervention at the end, he couldn’t possibly have condensed this Sword Embryo.
Dong Qian then approached and carefully examined the Sword Embryo.
Ji Yuan, watching her so close, could even sll the floral fragrance emanating from her.
"So what plans do you have next, Senior Sister?"
Having accomplished his goal of this journey, Ji Yuan inquired about Dong Qian’s intentions.
