I Have an Omen System

Chapter 396: Chapter 249: Hundred-Patch Blood Robe

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen."

Qin Xuan’s eyes shone brightly.

With this Yin Crow Gang Wind, he could, at the very least, form a Perfect Golden Core.

Of course, Qin Xuan also had his doubts about Chen Xuanba’s motives.

’Is he really this kind?’

Chen Xuanba said, "Junior Brother Qin, consider this a personal gift from me to settle the karmic debt from the Jade Wind Country affair."

"You need not worry too much about Lu Hanzhou. Within the Sect, he wouldn’t dare to do anything to you openly. As for outside the Sect... take care of yourself, and raise your strength as quickly as possible."

So that was it.

Qin Xuan let out a long sigh of relief and said gratefully, "I will never forget your generous gift, Senior Brother."

Chen Xuanba smiled and shook his head. Standing with his hands behind his back, he spoke softly.

"Junior Brother Qin, don’t celebrate too soon. Lu Hanzhou has come out of seclusion this time with his sights set on the Little Cloud Peak Celestial Realm."

"There are still four years until that Celestial Realm opens."

"You must act cautiously for these four years. As long as you are in the Holy Sect, he can’t do anything to you. If you can endure this period, you will be much safer."

Qin Xuan understood. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the information, Senior Brother. I understand."

Chen Xuanba nodded slightly, then asked again, "Have you decided on a location for your Core Formation? Where do you plan to form your Golden Core?"

"Will it be one of the Holy Sect’s four great Blessed Lands: Ten Thousand Bone Skull Ridge, the Blood Sea Secret Realm, the Eternal Ghost Realm, or the Lava Demon Cave...?"

"Or will it be the Fiery Fire Melting Gold Blessed Land, where the senior Giant Spirit Blood Demon formed his Core?"

Qin Xuan’s heart skipped a beat.

’I can’t believe Chen Xuanba knows about this too.’

He did have a fragment of the Broken Gold Blessed Land, but without a Dao Fire to ignite it, it was just a wasteland.

"If you haven’t decided, I can find you a first-rate Evil Acupoint under the jurisdiction of the Punishment Hall."

Chen Xuanba said with a chuckle, a hint of recruitment in his words.

That was right. He had taken a fancy to Qin Xuan’s potential.

The Holy Sect was full of factions. Investing in a future Golden Core Demon Child in advance was not a bad thing for him.

Hearing this, Qin Xuan’s thoughts raced.

The Holy Sect’s four great Blessed Lands were under constant observation and had numerous rules.

He carried many secrets. If he formed his Core under the watchful eyes of so many, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t give himself away.

’I will definitely not choose those.’

’The best option is still the Fiery Fire Melting Gold Blessed Land or the Little Cloud Peak Celestial Realm. Either one will do.’

’As for going to the Punishment Hall... with two generations of Demon Children gathered there, the rest of the Holy Sect would surely target me. Only a fool would do that.’

However, he naturally couldn’t say these things to Chen Xuanba directly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Chen. To be honest, Core Formation is the foundation of a Cultivator, so I dare not act rashly. I truly have not yet decided on a location."

Qin Xuan showed a grateful expression, hesitated for a long while, and then replied respectfully:

"Although I borrowed external power to briefly touch the Purple Mansion Tenth Level, my foundation is inevitably unstable. Right now, my focus is on consolidating my Cultivation Realm and perfecting the Purple Mansion Ninth Level before I even consider the matter of the Golden Core."

Hearing this, a trace of admiration flashed through Chen Xuanba’s pale golden, double-pupiled eyes.

He had seen far too many examples of people who, in their rush for quick success, forcibly attempted to break through to the Golden Core with an unstable foundation, only to perish in the end.

That Qin Xuan could remain clear-headed and composed was especially rare.

"Good. To be neither arrogant nor rash, and to value one’s foundation above all. Your awareness proves that my faith in you was not misplaced."

Chen Xuanba’s voice was resonant as he praised him, "The struggle for the Great Dao is about the long run, not temporary gratification."

"Go and cultivate well. Stabilize your Realm. If you run into any trouble after deciding on a place for your Core Formation, you can come find me at the Holy Sect’s Punishment Hall."

Hearing this, Qin Xuan’s eyes lit up.

’Old Chen really is straightforward!’

Chen Xuanba acted decisively. Having said his piece, he didn’t linger.

Faint ripples spread through the space around him, and his tall, burly figure vanished.

He had arrived abruptly and left just as cleanly.

The stone grotto finally returned to complete silence, with only the gurgling sound of the slowly flowing earthfire remaining.

Qin Xuan stood alone, silently sensing his surroundings for a moment. After confirming that Chen Xuanba was truly gone, he heaved a long sigh, his tense mind finally relaxing completely.

The danger he faced today was truly the greatest since he began his Cultivation. If not for his many trump cards and that sliver of luck, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Strength... I’m still not strong enough!"

Qin Xuan clenched his fists, a fierce glint in his eyes.

Purple Mansion Realm, Holy Sect Demon Son, Huaizhong Department Master... they were all just empty titles. In front of a truly powerful expert, he was still just an ant!

Qin Xuan set to work, re-establishing the broken Restriction at the entrance of his Cave Mansion.

He also added several more layers of Arrays.

After doing all this, Qin Xuan directly announced he was entering seclusion and would not emerge for ten years.

...

His Divine Sense sank into his sea of consciousness.

A blood-red Talisman, formed from the memory fragments of the Giant Spirit Blood Demon, spun slowly, emanating a wild and domineering aura.

"The Giant Spirit Blood Refining Chapter, the Indestructible Golden Body Map, the Shocking Heaven Fighting Skill..."

Qin Xuan studied every character carefully, growing more astonished the more he read.

The ingenuity and sheer power of this Body Refining Method far surpassed any Body Refining Technique he had encountered before.

’Three years... no, I only have a little over two years left now.’

’There are still four years until the Little Cloud Peak Celestial Realm opens, and three years until the Fiery Fire Melting Gold Blessed Land opens.’

’Lu Hanzhou intends to form an Immaculate Golden Core in that Celestial Realm. I must use this time to take my Cultivation and combat power to the next level!’

’Otherwise, once he successfully forms his Golden Core, my life will be in grave danger!’

The immense pressure transformed into motivation. Qin Xuan didn’t waste a single moment.

...

「Time passed quietly.」

Qin Xuan sat cross-legged in his Cave Mansion, comprehending the core of the "Giant Spirit Tyrant Body Art"—the Giant Spirit Blood Refining Chapter.

The secret of this Chapter was to gather the Ten Thousand Spirits Essence Blood to temper the Flesh Body, refining "Giant Spirit True Blood" that contained endless power within the body.

With every drop successfully refined, one’s Physical Strength, toughness, and other attributes would skyrocket.

Theoretically, if one could cultivate it to Great Success, filling all three hundred and sixty-five acupoints in the body with True Blood, one’s vital energy would erupt. They could then transform into a hundred-zhang Giant Spirit, capable of shaking mountains with their bare hands and splitting rivers with a stomp of their foot!
