What I teach you is real stuff.

Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming's expressions changed upon hearing Lu Yuan's words.

If what the teacher said is true, then this entire extraterrestrial blood lake is a living, complete creature. How powerful must this blood lake be?

After all, if these blood-colored creatures are just some kind of cellular clones in the Blood Lake's body and already have the cultivation level of a True Immortal, then wouldn't the Blood Lake itself be at least a Profound Immortal or even a Golden Immortal?
They're trying to dig for crystals inside this blood lake? Aren't they just courting death?

Lu Yuan said, "However, things shouldn't be as terrible as we think. What I just said was just my guess. Even if the creature in the blood lake is really alive, it shouldn't be able to do anything to us."

Lu Yuan began to speak.

If this blood lake could really do anything to them, the other side could have made a move the moment they entered the lake, instead of waiting until now.

The reason why Blood Lake didn't take action itself and instead sent these crimson creatures over is probably because Blood Lake itself doesn't have the ability to do so. Otherwise, if it had overwhelming strength, it wouldn't have gone to such lengths to revive crimson creatures multiple times to attack them.

Lu Yuan said, "If I'm not mistaken, this blood lake should be a half-dead creature, with no other means of attack besides these blood-red behemoths."

Lu Yuan's words reassured Xiao Huang and his companion considerably.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. If this blood lake could really kill them, it wouldn't have dragged on until now, letting several blood-red behemoths come out to play with them. To put it bluntly, they still don't have overwhelming strength.

Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming asked, "Teacher, what should we do if we can't kill these blood-red creatures?"

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and also felt it was a problem.

These crimson creatures are impossible to kill. The Blood Lake has been preventing them from mining the pot crystals. With people constantly causing trouble, they really can't get the job done.

If we continue to fight the crimson creature, it's impossible to kill; it's much more resilient than a cockroach...

Just as Lu Yuan was having a headache, several figures suddenly streaked across the sky above the Blood Lake.

Lu Yuan looked up and saw several figures flying across the sky outside the blood lake; they were extraterrestrial beings.

His eyes lit up; he suddenly had an idea.

They're from out of town and don't understand the rules of this world. If that's the case, why not just ask a few locals?
Lu Yuan then pointed to the figures that had just flown past.

"Bring him back."

Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming immediately understood and rushed into the blood lake, bringing back several people in no time.

These guys were the locals from outside the region who had just passed by.

However, unlike the Three Thousand Worlds, the creatures in the outer worlds look incredibly diverse, with each having its own unique features, making them very individualistic.

The creatures that had been captured were furious, muttering something unintelligible. Even though they didn't understand the language, it was clear that what they were saying was not pleasant.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, opened the system shop, spent some points to buy the Extraterrestrial World's Language Crash Course, and then decided to give one to each of Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming.

The three quickly learned the local language, and then they were able to understand what the guys were saying.

"You bastards! What are you? How dare you kidnap us when you're so ugly? Do you even know who we are? We are the Heavenly Demon Clan!"

"I'm a third-class Heavenly Demon of the Heavenly Net Demon Clan, do you want to die?"

"Where did this ugly thing come from? Get your vile claws off my noble shoulders! I'll make you get them off!"

These local beings from the outer world were indeed cursing and swearing, and judging from their words and arrogant attitude, they must be quite important figures in the outer world.

However, these guys themselves are already quite unconventional in appearance, with each of them having their own unique facial features. From their own aesthetic perspective, they actually think Lu Yuan and Xiao Huang are extremely ugly.

It's true that different environments nurture different people, and different worlds have their own aesthetics.

But none of that matters. Since these guys are of high status, that's perfect. High status means broad knowledge, so we can ask them about the Blood Lake and its creatures.

Lu Yuan said, "Stop talking nonsense. I'll ask you a few questions and then let you go."

"Who are you? What race are you? Do you have the right to speak to this demon?"

"Beings below the fifth rank are not qualified to speak directly with me!"

These guys have already been captured, yet they're still so arrogant. They're truly fearless. However, judging from their appearance, this outer world seems to be divided into noble and lowly groups based on their social hierarchy.

These guys seemed to be third-class beings, their words revealing their status.

In the outer realms, beings below the fifth rank are not even qualified to directly converse with beings of the third rank?
Lu Yuan instantly felt that this extraterrestrial world was even more outrageous than the Three Thousand Worlds, but he was not an extraterrestrial being and had no interest in learning about their so-called racial hierarchy.

Lu Yuan's Gengjin Flying Sword was pressed directly against the foreheads of these guys.

"You'd better cooperate obediently, or I can't guarantee that my flying sword won't pierce your brains."

Seemingly sensing the unstoppable sharpness of the Gengjin Flying Sword, these third-class beings finally showed signs of panic after hearing the death warning.

"You, you really dare to kill me? Let me tell you, our Tianluo Demon Clan is protected throughout the entire Blood Sea Domain. You dare to kill us? Aren't you afraid of retaliation? At that time, there will be no place for you to hide in the entire Outer Sea!"

Lu Yuan: "Stop talking nonsense. I'm asking you, what's going on with this Blood Lake? Why can't we kill the crimson creatures inside? Is there any way to get the crystal pot inside?"

Lu Yuan was too lazy to argue with them. What did it matter if they were protected or had nowhere to go? They weren't originally from this realm.

After obtaining the materials, he left the outer realm immediately. Even if these guys had some status, it had nothing to do with him, and he wouldn't stay here for long anyway.

Lu Yuan directly inquired about the blood lake, and after hearing this, the extraterrestrial beings looked at Lu Yuan with strange eyes.

These guys are actually mining pot crystals here?
Damn it.

The extraterrestrial being said, "Aren't you locals? How come you don't even know such basic rules?"

These extraterrestrial beings looked at Lu Yuan and his companions as if they were idiots, thinking that these three were simply bumpkins. It was one thing for them to be ugly, but they didn't even know the most basic rules.

Lu Yuan: "Stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly, how can we get the pot crystal?"

The extraterrestrial beings began to speak.

Lu Yuan then realized that the place they had come to was called the Outer Sea, and there were blood lakes like these everywhere. Just as Lu Yuan had guessed, these blood lakes were indeed inhabited by life, but not the kind of life forms that are commonly understood.

Although the Blood Lake possesses consciousness and a soul, it cannot cultivate or directly attack.

However, the Blood Lake can cultivate creatures within it to serve as its own hands and feet to perform certain tasks.

For the extraterrestrial beings of the Outer Seas, mining pot crystals is also a way for them to make money, but the pot crystals produced in different blood lakes are different.

In essence, the crystals in the pot are the energy crystals of the blood lake.

The crystals produced by weak blood lakes are naturally weak, while the crystals produced by powerful blood lakes are naturally powerful.

However, in contrast, the crimson creatures in the Blood Lake are also powerful and cannot be mined by ordinary people.

A powerful being is needed to kill the crimson creatures within the blood lake. Lu Yuan asked, "Aren't these crimson creatures immortal?"

"Who told you they're immortal?" The locals found it strange and had some difficulty understanding Lu Yuan's words.

The crimson creatures in the powerful Blood Lake are indeed terrifyingly strong, but I've never heard of them being immortal.

Don't you cultivate the path of decay and the path of death?

Lu Yuan finally understood.

The environment shapes the people, and for Lu Yuan and his group, these blood-red creatures were indeed a very troublesome existence, not only powerful but also impossible to kill.

But the locals don't have this problem at all, because the rules of the Great Dao and what they cultivate are different for cultivators from other regions.

From the very beginning of their cultivation, they cultivated the path of decay and death.

Therefore, their attacks inherently carry decay and death.

Therefore, all they need to do is kill these Blood Lake creatures. The power of death and decay will naturally extinguish all life force in the Blood Lake creatures, making it impossible for the Blood Lake to revive the crimson beings.

In other words, Lu Yuan and his group are not locals and do not have the abilities of locals, which is why they are in this trouble.

Lu Yuan: "The Great Dao of Decay, the Great Dao of Death? How do you cultivate these?"

These locals said smugly, "Isn't that simple? Just practice the cultivation techniques! Our Tianluo Demon Clan's Luomo Death Scripture contains the ultimate Dao of Death."

Lu Yuan held out his hand: "Let me take a look."

The locals looked at him as if he'd seen a ghost.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Yuan: "Didn't you say that your Tianluo Demon Clan's techniques are very powerful? Let me borrow them and take a look."

These third-class beings of the Tianluo Demon Clan stared at Lu Yuan, and after a while, they suddenly laughed.

"You want our Tianluo Demon Clan's cultivation techniques? Are you kidding me?"

"Laughable. Even if I gave it to you, would you dare to cultivate it? Don't you know that stealing our Tianluo Demon Clan's cultivation techniques is a capital offense?"

These third-class extraterrestrial beings laughed so hard they were doubled over, finding Lu Yuan and his two country bumpkins inexplicably ridiculous.

Are they crazy for wanting cultivation techniques? They dare to steal things from the Tianluo Demon Clan?

Lu Yuan maneuvered the Gengjin Flying Sword closer, his killing intent growing even stronger.

"Have you laughed enough? Take it out."

Without the local people's cultivation techniques, Lu Yuan couldn't kill these Blood Lake creatures, and without killing the Blood Lake creatures, the Pot Crystals wouldn't reach his hands.

So he has to practice this so-called extraterrestrial martial arts. Since these guys have had enough of laughing, they should hand over the item.

Several extraterrestrial beings were surprised that Lu Yuan actually dared to ask for it.

However, Lu Yuan's flying sword was right on their foreheads, so they had no choice but to agree.

"Fine, since you dare to ask for it, then I dare to give it to you. I want to see if you dare to cultivate it!"

These third-class beings didn't hesitate. After all, cultivation techniques weren't anything very important to them. Since these three fearless guys really wanted them, they would just give them to them.

They were more interested in seeing if these three bumpkins dared to cultivate. In all these years, no one had ever dared to offend the Tianluo Demon Clan in the Outer Sea. They would steal the Tianluo Demon Clan's cultivation technique and make them cry their eyes out after they started cultivating it.

These guys were incredibly straightforward; they handed over their techniques.

Lu Yuan obtained the extraterrestrial cultivation technique and immediately began learning it.

He didn't care about the so-called Tianluo Demon Clan. Even if the Tianluo Demon Clan was powerful, he would return to the Immortal Realm anyway. Could the Tianluo Demon Clan possibly cross the red line and go to the Immortal Realm to capture him?
As Lu Yuanzhen opened the cultivation manual to study, the locals watched with expressions of amusement.

It seems these bumpkins were trying to mine the crystals in the Blood Lake, but they got entangled by the crimson creatures in the lake.

However, it would be wishful thinking for them to try to learn the techniques of the Tianluo Demon Clan at the last minute.

Their Tianluo Demon Clan's cultivation techniques are not only kept secret, but are also recognized as the most difficult to master outside the realm, ranking among the top ten most difficult cultivation techniques outside the realm. The Tianluo Demon Clan's Luo Mo Si Jing is among them.

Sharpening one's spear at the last minute?

How could one possibly cultivate to this level without tens of thousands of years of effort?

These third-rate creatures looked at Lu Yuan with the eyes of idiots; this ugly country bumpkin was nothing but making a fool of himself.

However, only two years have passed, and these third-class beings are already dumbfounded.

Because they had been imprisoned here by Lu Yuan for two years, they actually witnessed Lu Yuan mastering the martial arts technique.

Moreover, he didn't just learn the basics; he actually learned the laws of death from the Book of Death of Ramana.

Lu Yuan also learned about the cultivation levels in the outer world from these guys.

Earth Demon, Heavenly Demon, Immortal Demon, Ancestral Demon, Holy Demon, Demon God.

The nine ranks of Earthly Demons basically correspond to the nine levels from Qi Refining to Mahayana in the Azure Heaven World.

Above the Heavenly Demon level are corresponding to the Celestial Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Great Luo Immortal in the Immortal Realm!
The guys that Lu Yuan robbed were members of the Tianluo Demon Clan.

The Tianluo Demon Clan is extremely prominent in the outer seas of the outer world, and among its demons there are indeed demon god ancestors comparable to the Great Luo level in the Immortal Realm.

It is precisely because of the powerful ancestor who is backing up the Tianluo Demon Clan that these guys are so arrogant.

They are right. Generally, the locals of the outer world do not dare to practice the techniques of their Tianluo Demon Clan, because once discovered, they will be hunted down to death by the powerful members of the Tianluo Demon Clan.

After all, a powerful extraterrestrial clan with a demon god ancestor is no laughing matter.

But since Lu Yuan had already practiced, it didn't matter anymore.

Moreover, he only spent two years cultivating the Luo Mo Death Scripture of the Tianluo Demon Clan to an extremely high level, and had already comprehended the power of the death path of the outer world.

"The Way of Death spoken of by these people from beyond the realm is somewhat similar to the Three Thousand Laws of the Immortal Realm, except that their Way of Death is easier to comprehend than the laws."

However, understanding is easy, mastering is difficult. I've only grasped the basics so far, but it's definitely enough to kill these blood-red creatures.

The Tianluo Demon Clan's cultivation techniques are indeed valuable; as expected of a powerful extraterrestrial clan, Lu Yuan has already mastered the basics in two years, which is sufficient for his needs.

This way, the crimson creatures in the Blood Lake can be dealt with. (End of Chapter)
