Chapter 1984 - 1982: Massive Upheaval in the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, Is This the Opportunity?
Nine Corpse Mountains!
A pool of Blood Sea!
This is the true Corpse Mountain Blood Sea. Throughout history, how many have witnessed such a scene? Horrifying, mysterious, eerie, enough to make one scared to death; this is no exaggeration. This is the reality of Corpse Mountain Blood Sea!
Ye Tianchen encountered the Black and White Impermanence brothers here. They told Ye Tianchen that to cross this Blood Sea, one must build a Ghost Light Ship using the bones from the nine Corpse Mountains as the base and the fresh blood from the Blood Sea as the fuel for the bronze lamp—this is the structure of the Ghost Light Ship!
Just imagine, such a ship—it’s not that ordinary people wouldn’t dare to sit on it or touch it—but even martial artists with slightly lower cultivation would shiver, feeling a sense of fear. It’s truly terrifying and bizarre!
Once the Ghost Light Ship was crafted, Ye Tianchen didn’t think too much. Whether it was Corpse Mountain Blood Sea or a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair, he had to make it through. Tian Boguang was still waiting for him to rescue him; life was slipping away bit by bit, and Ye Tianchen couldn’t afford to waste time!
However, after the Ghost Light Ship was built, the Black and White Impermanence brothers told Ye Tianchen that it’s currently not the best time to cross this Blood Sea; they needed to wait, which made Ye Tianchen frown. If this delay continues, even if he finds the life-saving Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass, it might not be able to save Tian Boguang!
"Why do we need to wait for the best time? When is the best time?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.
"Night is falling fast; in a maximum of two hours, it will be completely dark here. Then it will be time for us to cross the Blood Sea!" Hei Bai spoke seriously.
Ye Tianchen furrowed his brows. Although he felt pressed for time, these two fellows, the Black and White Impermanence, clearly knew this place much better than he did. Their method seemed to be the correct one; hence, waiting seemed to be the only option!
"Brother Ye, don’t worry, using this method, we will surely cross this Blood Sea. Let’s drink!" Wuchang said with a chuckle.
"Monkey Wine? Haven’t you finished the wine you stole from the Divine Monkey at the Original Restricted Zone?" Ye Tianchen asked, looking at the familiar wine jar in Wuchang’s hand.
"You finished it? So quickly?" Hei Bai asked in surprise.
"Yes, I finished it. I drank some whenever I had free time; it was just a few jars, not much to drink!" Ye Tianchen replied indifferently.
After hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, the Black and White Impermanence brothers exchanged a look, feeling quite frustrated and wanting to give Ye Tianchen a thrashing.
"What’s wrong? Isn’t this wine meant for drinking? Is there more to it?" Ye Tianchen asked, a bit puzzled.
"The wine is indeed for drinking, but not the way you did! The Monkey Wine contains a lot of heavenly essence and the power of many Spiritual Medicine Divine Herbs. Drinking it cleanses your body; drinking two mouthfuls increases your strength. It’s meant to be drunk and refined, yet you drank it like water, wasting the Monkey Wine’s power!" Hei Bai couldn’t help but explain.
"Such a waste of treasures... if we had known, we would have taken all the Monkey Wine to prevent you from wasting it!" Wuchang said, feeling like crying out to the sky.
A few more hours were needed to reach the best time to cross the Blood Sea as mentioned by the Black and White Impermanence. During this period, Ye Tianchen, the Black and White Impermanence brothers, and the Little Demon Bat Beast each held a wine jar, chatting and drinking the wine. Of course, these wine jars were brought out by the Black and White Impermanence brothers. The Monkey Wine that Ye Tianchen had obtained from the Original Restricted Zone in the Penglai Ancient Martial World was long gone, drunk as if it were water, leaving the Black and White Impermanence brothers utterly speechless!
"This Monkey Wine is indeed good, but it’s a bit of a pity not to have any food!" Hei Bai said, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
"Yes, if there were a pot of leopard essence meat right now, it would be perfect!" Wuchang said with a laugh.
"I brought a pot, but unfortunately haven’t encountered any demon beasts. If we did, we could hunt some to eat!" Ye Tianchen replied with a smile.
"Demon beasts..." Hei Bai paused, suddenly looking at the Little Demon Bat Beast beside him. Wuchang also turned to look, and even Ye Tianchen glanced at the Little Demon Bat Beast, which shuddered in fright.
The Little Demon Bat Beast never expected that when the Black and White Impermanence brothers and Ye Tianchen mentioned eating Demon Beasts, they would all turn their heads to look at it. Their eyes revealed a kind of greed, giving a feeling like they wanted to stew and eat the Little Demon Bat Beast. That intention was quite obvious, even a fool could see it, which suddenly startled the Little Demon Bat Beast. It hurriedly stepped back and said:
"Don’t scare me, my meat is not tasty at all, it’s sour and smelly, much worse than that leopard meat. If you keep staring at me like this, I’ll be scared to death alive!"
"In times like this, when there’s no choice, we can also make do!" The Black and White Impermanence said with a quirky smile.
"Yeah, just drinking without anything to eat is truly meaningless, we still have to find something to eat." Wuchang said with an evil grin.
"Although you’re quite small, you’re still a dish, right? Do you want to hop into a bowl?" Ye Tianchen teased the Little Demon Bat Beast.
"Ah... You scared me to death!" The Little Demon Bat Beast was so shocked that it really dropped to the ground, foaming at the mouth as though it had died!
The Black and White Impermanence brothers and Ye Tianchen were taken aback, of course, they were just joking, how could they possibly eat the Little Demon Bat Beast? Furthermore, the Little Demon Bat Beast was only palm-sized, not even enough to fill a gap between the teeth. No matter how hungry they were, they wouldn’t eat the Little Demon Bat Beast; at most, they’d just scare it a bit. Unexpectedly, the Little Demon Bat Beast really dropped to the ground, and was foaming at the mouth!
"Alright, stop pretending, we were only scaring you. Get up quickly, it’s time to set off!" Ye Tianchen glanced at the Little Demon Bat Beast and said.
Unexpectedly, after the Little Demon Bat Beast fell to the ground, its entire body continued convulsing like it was actually dying, its whole body shaking constantly, while the foam kept coming out of its mouth. This left Ye Tianchen in a daze, wanting to squat down and check the Little Demon Bat Beast’s condition but was stopped by the Black and White Impermanence brothers!
"Brother Ye, don’t touch it, right now it’s a critical period for the Little Demon Bat Beast!"
"That’s right, it seems like it’s about to break through its cultivation realm, and the power of the Monkey Wine is about to erupt!"
"The power of the Monkey Wine, is it because the Little Demon Bat Beast drank a large amount of Monkey Wine that this happened? Then why didn’t we have any reactions?" Ye Tianchen asked in confusion.
"Monkey Wine, itself, is made by Divine Monkeys of the Demon Clan; it not only contains the power of Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass, but also a lot of heaven and earth essences. Whether used for cultivation or healing, it is greatly effective. The reason we had nothing happen after consuming so much Monkey Wine is that our cultivation realms have reached a certain level, it’s impossible to instantly breach using Monkey Wine. As for you, Brother Ye, firstly, your cultivation realm is advanced, and secondly, you don’t possess the Demon Clan physique!" Wuchang thought for a moment and said.
"Is that so? Then what should we do now?" Ye Tianchen glanced at the Little Demon Bat Beast lying on the ground still convulsing like it was dying and asked.
"Now that the Little Demon Bat Beast has drunk a large amount of Monkey Wine, the power within it has erupted and it’s already breaking through its cultivation realm. If successful, its strength will definitely increase greatly; if fails, it might die, and nobody can help it, we can only depend on its own will!" Hei Bai nodded and said.
Rumbling!
Suddenly, a bizarre sound rang around them, startling Ye Tianchen and the Black and White Impermanence brothers, causing them to look around. They saw the nine Corpse Mountains constantly shaking, a large amount of blood being injected into the Blood Sea, and some bones falling from the nine Corpse Mountains, this scene made Ye Tianchen furrow his brows tightly, he had a bad premonition!
"It seems the rumors are true, every hundred years, these nine Corpse Mountains experience huge changes, and bizarre things happen in the Blood Sea. However, this is also the best chance to cross this Blood Sea, we must not miss it!" Hei Bai coldly looked at the nine Corpse Mountains surrounding them and said.
"A scene that only appears once every hundred years, it’s the best opportunity to cross the Blood Sea, we must not miss it, we have waited far too long!" Wuchang also spoke, almost like a changed person.
Ye Tianchen was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded. At this point, he could only trust the Black and White Impermanence brothers, as he had assessed it himself, trying to rely on his own strength to cross the Blood Sea was almost impossible, only through the Ghost Light Ship was there a slight chance. Now that a great change had occurred here, and the Black and White Impermanence brothers said the best timing had arrived, he would act together with the Black and White Impermanence brothers!
"Let’s go, Brother Ye, we’re just about to truly enter the Medicine King Valley!" Hei Bai said with a smile.
"Alright!" Ye Tianchen grabbed the unconscious Little Demon Bat Beast and placed it on his shoulder, then stepped onto the Ghost Light Ship!
The Black and White Impermanence brothers exchanged glances and also stood on the Ghost Light Ship, their eyes fixed on the opposite shore of the Blood Sea, not knowing if they could successfully cross over...
