Chapter 1984 - 1522: Netherworld Ghost Lotus

On New Year's Eve, I'm still miserably writing away, asking for subscriptions and monthly votes~~~ Best wishes for a Happy New Year and family joy to all readers!...

No wonder Qin Fang wanted to slip away—this Netherworld Blood Pool is simply too brutal and bizarre… It's a rarity that's terrifying beyond measure.

The existence of such a Netherworld Blood Pool is nearly inconceivable… The more peaceful the times, the less it should exist.

But now, Qin Fang actually saw one here, which shocked him immensely, even feeling a bit horrified.

This is an extremely rare occurrence, yet now it's happening!

The Netherworld Blood Pool is formed from the most sinister ghostly death energy between heaven and earth, requiring very special geological structures, among other things, and years of accumulation to gradually take shape.

All these conditions are indispensable!

Therefore, over many years, Netherworld Blood Pools have practically never existed… Perhaps it's somewhat possible to create one artificially, but naturally formed ones are even rarer than spiritual medicine!

Speaking of spiritual medicine, Qin Fang has traveled to so many places, and only found one in the hidden treasure repository of the Musashi School.

This is something Musashi School hid for hundreds of years, and if not for Qin Fang accidentally stumbling upon it, he might never have truly seen spiritual medicine.

Even so, Qin Fang was completely surprised to have seen a Netherworld Blood Pool, which is far rarer than spiritual medicine.

"Naturally formed, can't help but run…"

Qin Fang smiled wryly; he didn't want to innocently become "fertilizer." With a thought, he prepared to slip away from here.

His gaze gradually shifted to the black-robed man and Sofia, observing their movements to facilitate his departure.

"Eh, what's that?"

But just as Qin Fang was planning to slip away while the two were unaware, his body suddenly froze, and his gaze involuntarily focused on the very center of the Netherworld Blood Pool…

"Netherworld Ghost Lotus?"

Without hesitation, Qin Fang immediately threw a scouting skill at the object hidden in the center of the Netherworld Blood Pool.

Soon the results were fed back, and Qin Fang's mind once again trembled; not only did his previous worries vanish, but he felt a faint excitement.

Perhaps because the color of this Netherworld Ghost Lotus is similar to the surrounding pool's "blood" color, Qin Fang didn't pay close attention at first.

But after observing the black-robed man's actions, Qin Fang noticed this slight anomaly; only after a careful observation did he barely discover it.

However, this discovery is extremely important to him… almost instantly changing his previous decision.

"Turns out it's a newborn Netherworld Blood Pool… scared me to death!"

Qin Fang couldn't help but curse inwardly, also relaxing a bit, "Turns out the black-robed man had Sofia trick so many people here for it…"

"Want to use me as fertilizer… afraid you both aren't enough!"

Looking at the busy black-robed man and Sofia, Qin Fang's mind gradually calmed down, already pondering how to act.

This Netherworld Blood Pool being naturally formed is indeed an excellent training ground for an expert who cultivates Netherworld Ghost Qi.

If an artificial Netherworld Blood Pool allows a cultivator to reach the seventh level in Netherworld Ghost Qi, then a naturally formed Netherworld Blood Pool can bring them to the supreme ninth level!

In the history of the martial world, there have been many heretic dao experts who dominated the world, among them about three or four supreme experts who cultivated Netherworld Ghost Qi, but only one truly reached the peak.

This person even became the world's number one expert at the time… extremely powerful and unmatched, even the Righteous Alliance and Demon Sect had to retreat.

The reason was simple: this expert relied on a naturally formed Netherworld Blood Pool for cultivation… their Netherworld Ghost Qi was pure to the fullest extent, naturally making their strength terrifying to the utmost.

Now, this black-robed man cultivates Netherworld Ghost Qi and found such a Netherworld Blood Pool; if he grows, he could very likely become the second supreme-level expert of heretic dao.

In this era of increasingly thinning spiritual energy, becoming a great grandmaster-level expert is nearly reaching peak mastery; breaking into the Supreme Realm is almost impossible.

But with this Netherworld Blood Pool, a cultivator of Netherworld Ghost Qi can easily reach the great grandmaster level; breaking into the Supreme Realm, while difficult, is much easier than for other great grandmaster-level experts. Perhaps not 70-80% assured, but there's still a 50% chance!

However, the premise is… the Netherworld Blood Pool must be a matured Blood Pond!

If the Netherworld Blood Pool has just formed and is in its newborn phase, its power is weakened considerably, with a discount that's not ordinary.

This Netherworld Blood Pool is in its newborn phase, likely forming in less than twenty years… Even with its relatively fast maturation, it still requires thirty to fifty years to fully mature.
