On the round platform, three Cores lay quietly, covered by a transparent light curtain that isolated the fluctuations of the Cores. From the outside, they looked exactly the same.
The distance of a thousand feet wasn’t too far, so everyone on the shore could clearly see it with their eyes. However, no one knew what grade this Cores was, and even the Great Thousand Blood Land disciple standing on the first island couldn’t tell. Rubbing his chin, he curiously examined the three round platforms in front of him.
“Is this a reward?” Someone asked suspiciously.
When the Great Thousand Blood Land’s disciple stepped onto the first island, this thing suddenly appearing in front of him was clearly a kind of reward, but it was unknown whether it was a reward of three Cores at once or just one of them.
Everyone looked over in shock, and after a while, the Great Thousand Blood Land disciple made a decision and reached out to grab the round platform on the right.
Without any hindrance, a hand reached into the light curtain and took out the Core. For a moment, everyone was itching to know what grade this Core was and what its attribute were!
However, the Great Thousand Blood Land’s disciple directly put away the Core, not giving anyone a chance to examine it. Immediately after, he struck out like lightning towards the round platform in the middle.
This time, however, he was unable to succeed, because although the light barrier surrounding the round platform seemed thin like a cicada’s wing, it was actually incomparably sturdy. Without breaking this light barrier, it was impossible to obtain the Core.
During this delay, the three circular platforms suddenly sank into the ground and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, how could everyone not know that the Core was really a reward? However, this reward was only given to those who had set foot on the island. Although it was only a single Core, it still greatly motivated everyone.
The cultivators who had come here were all attracted by Blood Monster Divine Monarch's Blood Dao Inheritance, but after witnessing the terrifying and bizarre nature of this blood lake, many of them began to retreat.
However, the appearance of this Core reward caused many cultivators to become restless. If they could obtain a Sixth Grade, Seventh Grade, or even Eighth Grade Core from it, they wouldn’t have to worry about it for the rest of their lives. It would be enough for them to spend their entire lives.
After the Great Thousand Blood Land’s disciple took the Core, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the center of the small island, and soon after, a huge stone tablet broke out from the ground and stood in the middle of the island.
“There really is a second volume!” Qu Huachang’s eyes lit up.
Previously, when she had told Yang Kai that there was a second and third volume of the Blood Shine Scripture, she had simply been speculating. Now that she saw this stone tablet, she immediately confirmed it.
Everyone on the shore focused their eyes, wanting to see the contents of the second stone tablet, but unfortunately, the stone tablet was covered in a layer of mist, making it impossible for anyone to see what was on it. They immediately understood that if they wanted to understand the contents of the second volume of the Blood Shine Scripture, they would have to go to the first island.
The Blood Monster Divine Monarch's inheritance was designed in such a way that it seemed like he really wanted to choose an heir, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so complicated.
The Great Thousand Blood Land disciple arrived in front of the stone tablet and looked up for a moment before sitting down cross-legged again to meditate on the mysteries of the second volume of Blood Shine Scripture.
“Junior Brother Yang, do you want to try?” Qu Huachang turned to look at Yang Kai.
“Naturally,” Yang Kai nodded. Since he had already come here and was standing in front of this opportunity, how could he not give it a try? Although he had never dabbled in the Dao of Blood before, most of the cultivators who had come here were probably like him. Since Blood Monster Divine Monarch had set up a test here, he should have taken this into consideration.
If one were to use one’s own Blood Dao foundation as the basis for choosing an inheritance, then the disciples of the Great Thousand Blood Land could be said to have a sure victory, and there was no need to test them.
Yang Kai faintly felt that this inheritance’s test shouldn’t be so simple.
Bu Lianzhong and the others naturally had no objections, all of them finding a place to sit down and immersed themselves in studying the stone tablet.
Yang Kai didn’t immediately try to comprehend the mysteries of the stone tablet, instead quietly activating his Space Law to see if he could teleport directly to the first island or the palace in the middle of the lake.
If he could teleport over, there would be no need for him to comprehend any stone tablets.
However, as soon as he made this move, his heart inexplicably became filled with a great sense of crisis, as if, if he really teleported over, a great catastrophe would befall him.
This feeling shocked him and he quickly gave up trying. The sense of crisis in his heart also disappeared. Sighing, he knew it wouldn’t be so easy. Since the Blood Monster Divine Monarch's inheritance had been set up, it definitely wouldn’t allow future generations to take advantage of it. If he didn’t act according to his plan, even if he went to the island or the palace in the middle of the lake, he wouldn’t have any good results.
Since he couldn’t use the Space Laws, Yang Kai could only sit down and meditate.
Just now, his consciousness had been pulled into the stone tablet by a mysterious force, evolving the mysteries of the Blood Shine Scripture.
Previously, Yang Kai didn’t have much of an inkling about the Blood Shine Scripture, but now that he had calmed down and started comprehending it, he found that it wasn’t that difficult to understand. Strictly speaking, this was the first volume, so Yang Kai didn’t know what the rest was like.
As long as one’s foundation and comprehension weren’t too bad, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to comprehend the mysteries of this first Blood Shine Scripture. Yang Kai’s mind shook as he focused on comprehending it.
As time passed, more people stood up from beneath the stone tablet and began to walk towards the first island. One after another, many people successfully boarded the island, and there were quite a few of them.
However, the number of cultivators below the stone tablet continued to increase, because more people were arriving. These people had obviously heard the news and had rushed over to try to get a share of the profits.
By the time Yang Kai had fully comprehended the first volume of the Blood Shine Scripture and felt that there was no problem with it, half a day had already passed.
Slowly opening his eyes, he saw Qu Huachang turn her head to look at him.
Qu Huachang was obviously shocked, “You’re so fast?” She had only just comprehended it, unlike the Great Thousand Blood Land’s disciples who had a deep foundation in the Blood Dao. Although she was a core disciple of Yin-Yang Cavev Heaven, like Yang Kai, she had never dabbled in the Blood Dao before.
Starting from scratch was naturally not as beneficial as others.
However, before Yang Kai, she had already been comprehending the Blood Shine Scripture, so she hadn’t expected it to end together with Yang Kai. However, when she thought about Yang Kai’s previous performance in the Great Ruins Boundary, she felt relieved.
Pursing her lips, she smiled, “It’s not a good thing to be too fast for a man!”
Yang Kai’s face darkened as he thought to himself; Is this woman addicted to teasing me?
Annoyed, he said: “Do you want to try?”
Qu Huachang’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
Yang Kai blushed with shame and quickly waved his hand, “It’s a joke…” Turning his head, he saw that Bu Lianzhong and the others were still meditating with their eyes closed. Just as he was about to say something to them, Bu Lianzhong opened his eyes and said, “Brother Yang, please go ahead. I’ll be right back.”
Yang Kai nodded, “Then we’ll wait for you in front.”
Bu Lianzhong took a deep look at Qu Huachang before sending a voice transmission to Yang Kai, “Brother Yang, you cannot trust others easily!”
The meaning behind his words caused Yang Kai’s eyes to flicker as he smiled and nodded.
Together with Qu Huachang, the two of them arrived at the shore of the lake. Looking up, they saw many cultivators activating the first volume of the Blood Shine Scripture, each of them carefully walking across the lake.
Most of the people here were stumbling, afraid of encountering some kind of accident. Only a few of them were strong enough to quickly step onto the first island. Like the disciples of the Great Thousand Blood Land, after stepping onto the island, three circular platforms would appear in front of each of them, each of which had a Core on it. After taking one of them, the remaining two platforms would sink into the ground and disappear.
A miserable cry rang out, for some unknown reason, someone had missed a step and was now halfway into the lake. In a panic, this person reached out to grab his companion, but in the end, his companion, who was already on edge, also made a mistake. The two of them fell to the ground for a moment before the bloody mist around them dissipated and they both fell into the bloody lake.
The calm Blood Lake seemed to contain a ferocious beast that could swallow a person whole. Normally, there would be no ripples, but once someone fell into the water, it would become even more ferocious.
A wave of blood rose up and the two cultivators who had made a mistake were swept into the blood lake, disappearing without a trace.
Many people felt a chill run down their spines as they watched this scene. Many of the cultivators who were originally standing on the shore didn’t dare to enter the lake, hesitating for a moment, unable to make up their minds.
Yang Kai said, “It’s better to find a less crowded direction.”
Qu Huachang agreed, “I think so too.”
Although the two of them had confidence in themselves, they couldn’t resist the interference of others. If they were to be caught by someone who had lost his footing just now, it would be a tragedy.
Looking around, Yang Kai soon arrived at a place where there were fewer people. Turning to look at Qu Huachang, he said, “Senior Sister Qu, be careful.”
Qu Huachang smiled lightly, “Don’t worry, if I feel something’s wrong, I’ll definitely drag you down with me. We can’t be born on the same day, but we can always die on the same day. Being a pair of Ghosts is better than being alone, right, Junior Brother?”
Yang Kai sighed, “I couldn’t tell that Senior Sister Qu had such a malicious heart. I was wondering if I should stay away from you.”
Qu Huachang giggled, “Too late!”
Saying so, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Yang Kai’s arm, pushing her body against his arm without any hesitation.
Before Yang Kai could react, this woman pulled him and jumped into the blood lake.
Yang Kai was startled, quickly activating the first volume of the Blood Shine Scripture and circulating his Blood Qi according to the method he had just comprehended. In an instant, a faint golden light enveloped his entire body.
Pa…
The two of them landed steadily on the blood lake, ripples spreading out from their feet.
