A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 913 - 899: Another Path

The people on the boat changed their expressions instantly upon hearing this. Crafted from the bones of unjustly dead people, this was too evil.

But the old boatman quickly explained, "These bones were collected by our ancestors from various corpses. Those unjustly dead mostly had no one to care for them. When we retrieved the bones, we also buried their bodies."

In that case.

They aren’t really going against heaven’s will; still, it’s somewhat unethical.

"This river without surface flow typically only emerges in ancient battlefields. Beneath the riverbed lies countless human skeletons. On battlefields, these people mostly died unjustly and carry great resentment. Any organism entering the river would be directly dispersed by their grievances, turned into blood water."

The old boatman explained to them.

"Then why are you here in this Blessed Land? And what’s the use of these copper coins?" Someone asked again.

"My grandfather entered here and never escaped. But my father said on his deathbed that if we could collect enough copper coins, we could leave. So, my lineage can’t end with me."

The old boatman said with a smile.

But the people who heard this were already feeling cold inside.

The Blessed Land doesn’t restrict personal freedom, but if you die and become a ghost here, you’ll be eternally trapped.

That means.

The old boatman is not human, but a ghost!

Yet at this moment, everyone is on the boat, like locusts tied to one ship, and nobody dares to proclaim this. Despite the fear in their hearts, they must endure.

Soon.

The boat reached the shore.

The group quickly disembarked and ran crazily forward, not daring to linger any longer. The Blessed Land is fraught with dangers; although there are opportunities, many understand there’s no use in having opportunities if you can’t survive.

But.

As they tried to leave, the sky suddenly exploded with a loud bang, and fog quickly enveloped the sky, making it impossible to see anything. Visibility dropped to its lowest.

This sudden dense fog is obviously a bad sign.

And beyond the fog, other martial artists were also running frantically, shouting as they ran, "The Dragon King has awoken, run quickly, hurry, or you won’t make it out."

A group of people was running madly.

Behind them was a giant wave, akin to a tsunami, threatening to swallow everyone.

Seeing this.

Baiyu didn’t hesitate and started running furiously towards the entrance outside the Blessed Land.

The giant wave seemed never-ending, growing higher and higher. Faintly in the wave, a gigantic shadow appeared, resembling the God of Encirclement Baiyu had once seen.

Everyone would instinctively escape.

But the monster in the sea clearly wanted everyone to die here; the wave grew larger, with the tendency to swallow this space.

It’s basically impossible to escape.

"You must leave quickly; it’s no longer suitable for you to stay here," Qian Xin’s face changed.

Just as she finished speaking.

A figure appeared in front of the giant wave, and with a shake of the black long knife in hand, the bright white blade was unsheathed instantly, splitting the wave.

"Retreat, the Blessed Land is closing."

Igarashi shouted loudly.

The wave was split, buying everyone time to breathe and escape, rushing towards the entrance.

This time, fortunately, no mishap occurred.

Everyone managed to escape from the Blessed Land, and the entrance closed at that instant. As for a few of the City Lord’s attendants, their strength clearly allows them to traverse the Blessed Land freely. The current Blessed Land isn’t the same as before; after the seal loosened, experts like Igarashi, Qian Xin, and Amy can come and go freely.

"Is it Baiyu?"

Just after Baiyu left the Blessed Land, two members of the City Guard Army found him, "Loloya wishes to see you."

Loloya.

Actually came back.

Baiyu felt quite surprised, but the journey to the Blessed Land wasn’t entirely fruitless. Blood Qi Bead is a rare treasure.

Staying here any longer holds no meaning.

The two members of the City Guard Army led Baiyu to a hundred-story elite restaurant in the Great City, although the height of these hundred floors still doesn’t compare to the Miracle Tower.

Loloya sat by the window of the restaurant, with a roasted divine bull on the table, pulling off a leg and biting into it.

Just a slight turn of her head offered a view of half the Great City’s scenery.

And such a divine bull costs an average elite martial artist several months’ income. It’s an Exotic Beast reaching Tier Four strength.

Is this the dull life of the wealthy?

"How was your trip to the Carefree Blessed Land this time? Did you gain anything good?" Loloya asked, looking up.

Baiyu shook his head, "I only got a few Blood Qi Beads given by Lord Qian Xin, who said they could help me break through the realm."

"Oh, Qian Xin, that mental case, actually spoke to you nicely. Since she gave it to you, it must be fine; just feel free to use it. You really should break through; your extraordinary and martial artist powers are too low and can’t help me with tasks.

But this time, I can help process your gains from the Blessed Land, assist you in breaking through. Once you do, help me with some affairs on the Free Federation side."

Loloya sighed while biting into the beef, "Recently, the city’s atmosphere is tense; the City Lord is increasingly neglectful, and my sister Lilith is about to relinquish her position as the first under the City Lord. So, everyone is competing.

You’ll be my trusted aide, so honing your skills isn’t wrong."

Baiyu remained silent and asked, "How do I breakthrough in Martial Dao? Isn’t it up to personal insight? Every person’s path to Grandmaster is different..."

This is common knowledge in Martial Dao.

Also known by high-tier martial artists.

Loloya didn’t deny it but said, "You’re different from others; you have Golden Blood. And your Golden Blood and the Black Moon Power within have reached a strange balance. This gives you another path forward.

Previously, you didn’t have Blood Qi Beads; They aren’t useful to us but are rare and hard to obtain.

Now that you have them, you can use them to breakthrough."

Baiyu frowned, "What method?"

"Accumulating Blood Qi... Grandmasters indeed focus on insight, techniques, and spirit, but haven’t you heard the saying, in the face of absolute power, all is empty talk. Power breaking through myriad laws. As long as your Blood Qi accumulates to a high enough level, if not a Grandmaster, it surpasses one.

The average Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Has around ten thousand calories of Blood Qi. If you can accumulate Blood Qi to over ten thousand calories, then you’re a Grandmaster. This path has been validated by predecessors, absolutely reliable and highly strong."

Baiyu showed a face of disbelief.

Although Loloya sounded very serious, he somehow felt it wasn’t dependable.
