Chapter 184: How Is This Possible??!?

The Blood Stream Sect occupied the first branch among the four branches controlled by the Sky River Court. It was next to the Spirit Stream Sect, with the actual border between the two being the mountain range that had been occupied by the Luochen Clan, which was colloquially known as the Luochen Mountains.

After passing through the Luochen Mountains, one would be within the territory controlled by the Bloodstream Sect.

Bai Xiaochun hurried over, sighing all the way. With mixed feelings he passed through the area. On one hand, he could not stop thinking about the danger he had faced all those years ago, but on the other hand, he also kept thinking about Du Lingfei.

If not for the incident with the Luochen Clan, he and Du Lingfei would never have become close. Du Lingfei would continue to hate him, as Zhou Xinqi still did.

Likewise, Bai Xiaochun himself would not express himself to her like he did. The betrayal of the Luochen Clan had changed everything.

Sighing, he passed through the exact spot in the mountains where the Luochen Clan was actually located. At this moment, most of the place had been engulfed by the forest, and there were almost no signs that the clan was even there to begin with.

Some distance away was another clan that the Spirit Stream Sect had raised to replace the Luochen Clan to guard the mountains. They had no idea that Bai Xiaochun was passing through the area.

Of course, despite being a Foundation Establishment cultivator, there were still some ferocious beasts in the area that even Bai Xiaochun did not dare to provoke.

As he traveled, he was once again able to witness the greater wonders of the world around him including some chaotic ancient beasts.

He had also met some local cultivator clans, and had become understanding why his elder brother the sect leader had held a meeting of Foundation Establishment cultivators a few months earlier.

"The Profound Flow Sect and the Pill Flow Sect have been at war …." When he looked towards the distant location where the Pill Flow and Profound Sect were fighting, he recalled what Zheng Yuandong had told him about the war that had begun due to the Sky River Court.

That war of course caused the heavens and earth to tremble violently. Bai Xiaochun could not help but wonder if enmity would soon break out between the Bloodstream Sect and the Spirit Stream Sect.

Half a month later, he left the Luochen Mountains and arrived at the border of the Blood Continent. Taking a deep breath, he took out a mask from his bag which he was holding and slowly put it on his face.

The instant it made contact with his skin, it melted into him, and his face twisted and changed when it turned into the face of a stranger.

He looked quite handsome, despite being cold and arrogant. With her mask, she did not look as warm and friendly as usual, but, fierce and sinister.

Producing his face here and there, he confirmed that he had actually changed, then removed his Spirit Stream Sect robe and produced some Nightcrypt clothes from his handbag. After putting on it, he actually became Nightcrypt.

Even the techniques he developed were hidden by the mask, as well as his cultivation base. He was really at the beginning of Foundation Establishment, but anyone who judged him would place him in the great circle of the tenth level of Qi Condensation

He has fully and fully assumed the identity of the original Nightcrypt. Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward into the territory of the Blood Stream Sect. Being unhurried, he walked slowly and carefully through the Blood Continent.

As he did so, he chatted again with the fake Nightcrypt soul, and learned more about the Bloodstream Sect. For one thing, the law of the jungle really applies; students are actually encouraged to fight each other.

It was also the same outside of the sect. The entire Blood Continent was a cruel and deadly place.

For Bai Xiaochun to return to the Blood Flow Sect because Nightcrypt would be very simple. According to what Nightcrypt the impersonator had told him, about the sect disciples teleported from the Fallen Sword World to a random location in the Blood Continent, some would return directly to the sect, some would, but others will hide to recover from their injuries before returning.

After all, returning to the sect in an injured state would likely be more dangerous than just staying outside.

When Bai Xiaochun heard that, even more fear surfaced in his heart. The Blood Stream Sect looked like a truly terrifying place. However, the enticement of the immortal indestructible relic, as well as the security afforded by the mask, ensured that he simply gritted his teeth and continued his plan.

As he traveled, he saw the scenery in the Blood Continent. Everything was reddish-brown, as if it had been stained with blood. Even the impostor Nightcrypt wasn't sure why it happened. Apparently, it always looks like that.

Even the plant is very aggressive in nature. Bai Xiaochun encountered some aggressive plants along the way. Some of them he destroyed, others he avoided.

It would take two months before he actually reached the Blood Stream Sect itself. Just like the Spirit Stream Sect, the Blood Stream Sect was located right in the Heavenspan River.

Although the fake Nightcrypt had explained what the sect looked like, now that Bai Xiaochun could actually see it with his own eyes, his jaw dropped, and he even began to tremble.

He was really and really shaken.

The Daoseed Mountain Spirit Stream Sect stretched across the river like a bridge, connecting the seven mountain peaks on the south and north bank. The Blood Flow Sect was very different.

Surprisingly, it took the form of a large blood-colored hand!

A gigantic blood hand stretched out from the Heavenspan River, the palm of the hand downwards, as if it was clawing towards the sky. Its size was difficult to describe in words; the five fingers were like enormous mountain peaks, each roughly the same size as Mount Daoseed.

As for the rough thumb, it was surrounded by a mist of blood which made it impossible to see clearly.

It was impossible to tell how long the hand had been around, its dusty, hollow surface smashed by the wind. Up close, it was only possible to see five enormous mountain peaks unfolding.

Bai Xiaochun's eyes were as wide as a plate. Anyone who saw a scene like this would likely come to the conclusion that some startling giant was inside the Heavenspan River, a giant who, in the moments before his death, was a giant, with a heavy heart reached out to try to split the sky.

However, even when that happened, his arm froze, and never moved again. As long as that hand remained, the towering mountain peak, then that gigantic desire would remain.

The top of the mountain was covered with blood-colored vegetation, as well as many buildings. Beams of light could be seen flying back and forth; clearly, the mountain peak was home to countless individuals, whose killing aura caused the sky above to darken.

This is the home of the Blood Flow Sect!

"The Blood Flow Sect!" Bai Xiaochun said, taking a deep breath. "Very strong!" Seeing it all with his own eyes only further impressed upon him the strength and resources the Bloodstream Sect possessed.

"No wonder the Blood Flow Sect people were so brutal. Their sect was actually built on the arms of corpses! In fact, the Nightcrypt impersonator even said that the Blood Stream Sect technique almost all came from the arm itself! ” Bai Xiaochun's mind staggered as he got closer to the big arm. As he approached, he could see that the mountain peak even had blood waterfalls flowing from various locations.

A closer examination revealed that the hand had apparently absorbed water from the Heavenspan River, which then seeped out from various cracks and crevices in the arm. When that happened, the golden water turned into a bright red color.

That red liquid was also a fundamental element of the Blood Flow Sect's cultivation.

"Blood spirit!" Bai Xiaochun thought, his heart pounding. He immediately thought back to the introduction of his predecessor that Nightcrypt had given him about the Blood Stream Sect.

The Blood Stream Sect was structured in a manner similar to the Spirit Stream Sect. However, there are also some basic differences. They had servants, Outer Sect disciples, and Inner Sect disciples. However, instead of the inheritance echelon planter, the Bloodstream Sect had a blood master.

In general, sect rankings were very strictly enforced. Servants were not allowed to enter the upper arm; they lived in the lower arm, which was considered to be outside of the Blood Flow Sect itself.

It was where the largest population was, and the area was crowded with buildings arranged in concentric rings.

Only Outer Sect disciples could leave the area and step into the upper arm, and only Inner Sect disciples were qualified to live on the back of the hand itself.

With the exception of the thumb, the mountaintop which is the finger of the hand is divided into the lower finger and the upper finger. The lower finger was occupied by the cultivators of the Foundation Establishment. Those at the Mortal-Dao Foundation Establishment stage are called Dharma protectors, and those at the Earthstring Foundation Establishment stage are elders.

Only one person was qualified to live on the upper finger, and that was that peak elder. The grand elder was on par with the peak ruler of this Spirit Stream Sect. Of course, given that there were fewer mountain peaks than in the Spirit Stream Sect, it was a position reserved only for the most outstanding individuals.

After the top finger is the fingertip. From the time the Blood Stream Sect had been established in ancient times, every mountain peak had a blood master. It was the only person qualified to occupy the fingertips.

The blood master was the focus of the entire sect, and was among the most powerful people in the entire sect, excluding certain people who lived in the thumbs. They were as strong as sect leaders, and were qualified to give orders to the mountain peak elders.

All the disciples of the Blood Stream Sect dreamed of becoming the blood ruler of the mountain peak. Each successive generation only had one blood master per mountain peak at any given time.

The thumb is the only place without blood. The blood mist surrounding it ensured that it was a restricted area. That was where the ancestors and the flow of the elders of this Sect's blood stream lived. Only the people on the Gold Core stage could go there.

When the blood master advanced to the Gold Core stage, he would become a blood-thinner, and move onto an enormous thumb. The blood ripper occupied a higher position than the main elders, with strength second only to the patriarchs.

The lowest position on the thumb was occupied by the sect leader, who was in charge of the general administration of the sect.

As he got closer and closer to the Bloodstream Sect, Bai Xiaochun once again reviewed the information he knew.

“Five mountain peaks. The thumb is called Ancestor Peak! The first finger is called Corpse Peak, the middle finger is Middle Peak, the ring finger is called Nameless Peak, and the smallest finger, the little finger, is called Lesser Marsh Peak! [1. A brief note on the names, as there are some small word games involved. The word for a corpse sounds similar to the word that describes the index finger. Both are pronounced "shi." In Chinese, the ring finger is called "finger without a name," so I chose to save the Chinese version of that name for the mountain. "Lesser Marsh" is an acupuncture point on the tip of the little finger. As far as the thumb and "Encestor" goes, I don't think there is a wordplay, although the word ‘leluhur’ does sort by character to ‘thumb’]

"The Peak Cadaver is known for purifying corpses, Middle Peak focuses on blood swords, Nameless Peak is famous for gargoyles, and Lesser Marsh Peak is devoted to the refinement of blood demon bodies!"

Bai Xiaochun could not help but recall the Blood Stream Sect disciples he had met in the Fallen Sword World. He had seen them controlling ferocious gargoyles. Xu Xiaoshan had been working with various corpses, and Song Que had fought with him with a blood sword. He had even seen some refinements of the bodies of the demons that were clearly from the Lesser Marsh Peak.

At this moment, the Bloodstream Sect had already left a deep impression on Bai Xiaochun's mind.

However, what happened next left him completely shaken. When he approached the large hand, he stepped past a certain point, and his face flickered when the Eternal Life Technique suddenly stirred with a strong will.

At the same time, Bai Xiaochun could feel that the big hand was somehow calling out to him!

That summoning seemed to be very intimate!

"How is this possible?!" he thought, his mind shaken. At this moment, all his doubts and uneasiness vanished, and an extremely familiar sensation filled his mind and heart.
