An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

However, although the old man in the ring also showed a hint of apprehension in his tone, he did not agree to leave immediately.

"Fan'er, hold on!" Yao Lao said in a deep voice, "There's no need to rush to leave. Wait a little longer. Although this girl's methods are strange, she doesn't have the death aura of evil spirits on her. She should be some external demonic cultivator who was dragged into this place, just like you."

A calculating glint flashed in Yao Lao's eyes: "Although she is strong, she may not be able to see through the true secrets of this Yellow Spring Blood Pool. After she has looted the surface things and left, perhaps we will still have a chance to seize the true opportunities here!"

Meanwhile, in Lu Xueyao's mind, Lu Li's double pupils had already spotted Xiao Fan, who was hiding behind a pile of rocks and trembling with fear.

However, he ignored this nobody.

"Only seven shackles have been broken, and there are still two more to go. The sacred essence of this leek is not yet plump enough, and it would be a waste to cut it now."

Lu Li secretly thought to himself, "Let him go for now and let him continue to contribute his remaining strength."

Lu Li turned his gaze back to the Yellow Springs Blood Pool before him, which emitted a pungent, bloody stench.

This blood pool was once a famous treasure land in the Yellow Springs Demon Sect. Disciples of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect were extremely prone to going astray and becoming possessed by demons when practicing demonic arts.

The sect's higher-ups would then euphemistically call it "suppressing disciples who have gone mad by demonic possession" by throwing them into this blood pool.

In reality, once a disciple is thrown in, they become nothing more than consumables. Their life essence, cultivation, and even their soul are all mercilessly devoured and refined by this blood pool to continuously nourish and elevate its quality.

After countless years of accumulating nutrients, this Yellow Spring Blood Pool has become an unparalleled sacred place for demonic cultivators who cultivate the Blood Nerve!

"Xueyao, jump in."

Lu Li's voice echoed in his mind: "Right here in the blood pool, fully activate your Blood Nerve and absorb the essence of the blood in this pool! It will be enough to help you break through the shackles of mortal transformation, open the Life Spring in one fell swoop, and step into the Life Spring Realm!"

Upon hearing the words "Life Spring Realm," a fiery glint flashed in Lu Xueyao's eyes.

In the cultivation system, the Transcendent Realm is simply the shedding of one's mortal form.

Only by entering the Life Spring Realm and opening a Life Spring in the dantian that can continuously generate vitality and magical power can one truly embark on the extraordinary path to immortality!

Moreover, the most direct benefit of opening the life spring is a dramatic increase in lifespan!

Opening the first spring of life can directly increase one's lifespan by a full 50 years.

The second life spring, plus another 50 years... until the life spring reaches the ninth level, a total of nine life springs will be opened, and lifespan will be terrifyingly increased by a full 450 years!

Moreover, after opening the Life Spring, a cultivator's vitality and recovery ability will also increase significantly. As long as the Life Spring does not dry up, most fatal injuries can be recovered quickly.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xueyao leaped into the Yellow Spring Blood Pool with a splash.

The blood vessels and nerves are working wildly!

In an instant, the entire blood pool seemed to boil, and countless dark red blood energy vortexes formed around Lu Xueyao, rushing into her body like rivers flowing into the sea.

"boom!"

In just half an hour, a muffled explosion came from Lu Xueyao's body.

Under the immense impact of her vital energy, the barrier of her dantian was forcibly broken through, and a miniature vortex, like a spring, condensed and took shape in the center of her dantian.

The first life-giving spring has been successfully opened!

Stepping into the first level of the Life Spring Realm!

But she did not stop; the blood pool had accumulated an immense amount of power over countless years.

Soon, the first spring of life was filled with pure blood energy.

Then came the second bite, the third bite...

As Lu Xueyao devoured the blood without restraint, the water level in the blood pool dropped by nearly half.

Within her dantian, nine solid, blood-red life springs, radiating boundless vitality, were already neatly arranged!

He stepped into the ninth level of the Life Spring Realm in one fell swoop!

Not only did her cultivation level surge, but after absorbing so much demonic essence blood from the same source, her blood nerve also finally experienced a qualitative leap, successfully breaking through to the second level!

The core ability of the second layer of the blood nerve is limb regeneration!

As long as her head isn't chopped off, even if her hands and feet are severed at the root, she can regrow the severed limbs in a very short time by consuming the vast amount of blood energy in her life spring!

In addition, she also possessed several supernatural abilities, such as the Blood Curse Needle.

It can condense its essence and blood into invisible poison needles to ambush enemies. Once it enters the body, it can instantly seal the opponent's meridians, making it difficult to deal with.

"call……"

Lu Xueyao slowly opened her eyes and leaped out of the blood pool.

At this moment, although her body was covered in blood, her skin was crystal clear, and the aura she exuded was deep and cold, like a peerless witch.

"Xueyao, open the storage ring," Lu Li reminded her in her mind. "Take out the Myriad Spirits Blood River Map inside."

Lu Xueyao was taken aback, and then took out a dark red scroll that exuded an ancient and overwhelming blood aura from the storage ring that Li Qingyue had given her.

When Lu Xueyao grasped the scroll, she probed it with her divine sense and immediately sensed that familiar aura.

For a moment, her eyes reddened again, and the tragic image of that photograph resurfaced uncontrollably in her mind.

"Is this... the magic weapon that my brother used when he used all his cunning and risked his life to kill the demonic disciples back then...?" Lu Xueyao thought bitterly to herself. Lu Li noticed her emotions and just smiled faintly.

This Myriad Spirits Blood River Map truly accompanied him through one of the most difficult periods of his life; it was a rare and invaluable weapon for slaying the Dao.

However, as his cultivation level soared rapidly, this magic weapon could no longer keep up with his progress and was left to gather dust in the treasure vault.

The reason I had Li Qingyue bring this over was for my younger sister to use for self-defense.

"There is still nearly half blood essence in this blood pool."

Lu Li instructed, "Your cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and forcibly absorbing it would be a waste. This Myriad Spirits Blood River Diagram needs a massive amount of blood and qi to nourish it. Use it to collect all the remaining blood."

Under Lu Li's detailed guidance, Lu Xueyao quickly began to refine the Dao-slaying weapon.

"receive!"

She suddenly tossed the Myriad Spirits Blood River Map into the air.

The scroll suddenly unfurled, and a devouring force swept down like a hurricane!

In just a few breaths, the remaining half of the viscous blood in the vast Yellow Springs Blood Pool was completely swallowed up by the scroll like a whale sucking up water, leaving not a single drop, turning it into a dried-up pit!

After doing all this, Lu Xueyao put away her magic weapon with satisfaction, and with the two A-grade monsters, she turned into a blur and quickly left the valley.

Only after she left did Xiao Fan, who had been hiding behind the pile of rocks, dare to show himself.
