Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 949 True Blood
Zhang Haoran glared at Fang Ping and said irritably, "With your skills, are you even qualified to be a key player?"

He began by sending a message: "I'm giving you two tasks."

First, you need to lure the Tengu and the Spring Guardian over, and make sure they don't clash with Hongkun. That should be fine, right?

Actually, there are quite a few strong people here who know the Tengu and the Spring Guardian, but their relationships with them are not very good.

These two were troublemakers in the Heavenly Court era and had conflicts with many people.

If you let someone else handle it, it might backfire.

Hongkun, in particular, had been studying the corpse of the Heavenly Dog, wanting to seize the golden body; this was an absolute mortal feud.

If we don't warn them beforehand, Tiangou might start fighting with Hongkun first, and that would cause chaos.

The guardian of the spring was an even more lawless individual. Not only did he steal the divine artifact Origin Realm from the God-Forging Envoy for free, but he also dared to peep at the Spirit Emperor while he was bathing.

That means Fang Ping is the only one who can talk to them. If someone else were to step in, they might end up fighting amongst themselves.

They owe Fang Ping a huge favor, so they should give him some face.

The revival of the Heavenly Dog and the Spring Guardian was largely thanks to Fang Ping.

If he hadn't caused a ruckus at the cult headquarters, killing a large number of powerful figures, there wouldn't have been enough life force for the two of them to revive.

It would be most appropriate for Fang Ping to invite the Tengu and the Spring Guardian to join the battle.

Fang Ping knew that time was of the essence and the Emperor might be free at any moment, so this was not the time to haggle and he immediately agreed.

"No problem! I believe they will give me that face."

I guess they also want to join the fight, but they're too embarrassed to take the initiative.

I can just shout it out!
We're not stopping the celestial dog from taking revenge; we're just making it wait a few more days. We'll give it that much face.

Although Fang Ping didn't have much contact with the two, he understood their personalities quite well.

How could they possibly miss out on something as exhilarating as ganging up on the Human Emperor? They're just missing a way to make it happen.

"What's the other task?"

As he said this, a greedy glint appeared in Fang Ping's eyes. He remembered that Zhang Haoran had mentioned to him before that there was an opportunity to make a fortune and had asked him to agree to share half of the profits.

But so far, it's all been dangerous; there's been no benefit at all.

Perhaps the lessons he spoke of will come in the tasks to come.

Fang Ping had a hunch that the upcoming task would be very rewarding.

As expected of the chosen one of this era, his intuition is quite accurate.

Zhang Haoran continued, "During the battle, conserve your strength and don't charge in too aggressively. Just go through the motions."

Oh, and you also need to keep an eye on those novice martial artists, make sure they don't go too crazy and get killed.

These people are important to you in completing your mission.

The treacherous Emperor Ji is guarding the Gate of Qi and Blood. Once he can't withstand our attacks, he will definitely summon it.

When the time comes, you will combine with those novice martial artists to block the true gate and prevent it from descending upon the Three Realms.

Otherwise, with the blessing of the Gate of Qi and Blood, the treacherous Emperor Ji will undoubtedly become much stronger, and we might all die.”

In fact, he was more afraid that the Human Emperor would use the true blood within the Gate of Qi and Blood to recover. That was the true blood gathered by countless martial artists who had followed the path of Qi and Blood over tens of thousands of years. It would be too wasteful to use it in battle.

More importantly, once Emperor Ji absorbs that true blood, he will become an invincible cockroach. If this operation fails, then there will be no benefit whatsoever.

Therefore, Fang Ping's task is crucial!

Fang Ping was immediately shocked and said, "The Human Emperor descended to the Three Realms through the Origin Universe, and the True Sect should do the same."

"You're sending me into the Great Dao Universe to intercept the True Gate? Isn't that suicide?"

Don't assume that just because the Human Emperor was able to descend through the Great Dao Universe, others can too.

If an ordinary martial artist dared to enter the Great Dao Universe with their physical body, they would be completely disintegrated within a few seconds at most.

Zhang Haoran immediately reassured him, "Don't worry, I won't let you die."

This will at least guarantee that you won't be disintegrated by the Great Dao Universe for a period of time, allowing you to successfully complete your mission.

Fang Ping's original body had entered the source area before and knew how dangerous it was.

He felt that surviving was the most important thing; no matter how great the benefits were, he had to be alive to reap them.

"What guarantees do you have? Don't try to hide anything; you'd better tell me clearly whether your method is reliable and whether there are any risks involved."

Zhang Haoran said calmly, "To say there's absolutely no risk would be a lie."

But as long as you don't do anything reckless, you'll be fine.

Risk and reward are always directly proportional; the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Besides, your combined strength should be able to reach the level of Breaking Nine, so even if there is danger, you won't die.

"By the way, the benefits we can gain this time are quite substantial. Don't forget the conditions you promised me; we'll split the spoils equally."

"What exactly are the benefits? Now you can tell me, right?"

"You should tempt me a little first, so I'll have more motivation."

Zhang Haoran solemnly uttered two words.

"True blood!"

Fang Ping exclaimed in surprise, "What? Real blood!"

"Yes, it is true blood, which can greatly improve physical condition and enhance basic qi and blood."

If you have enough of it, it can even transform you completely.

It is one of the most precious treasures in the Three Realms.

The War Emperor was so powerful back then that no one dared to meet his gaze when he pointed his arrow at the emperors, because he had cultivated true blood.

There is a great deal of true blood behind the gate of Qi and Blood.

That is the condensation of the intercepted blood and qi of countless martial artists who have cultivated the path of blood and qi over the past tens of thousands of years.

As long as you can find a way to break through the gate of Qi and blood, you can release the true blood inside.

Remember, I'm not talking about completely breaking it down; you don't have that ability anyway. Just dig a hole in it and collect the true blood.

"It's real blood!"

"Great!"

"I'll take this job! I guarantee I'll complete it!"

Fang Ping's eyes lit up.

True Blood!

That's definitely a good thing.

Previously, when Fang Ping was helping Wang Ruobing with her medical treatment, he accidentally entered the Source Land. When he came out, he encountered True Blood. At that time, it was only a trace of True Blood, but it greatly improved Fang Ping's basic Qi and Blood.

If he hadn't obtained the true blood, how could he have escaped from Dou Tian's clutches and even killed the Overlord with just two Saint's Tokens?
Nowadays, people hear that there is real blood behind the gate of qi and blood, and that there is a lot of it.

Fang Ping immediately became excited, rubbing his hands together as if eager to try.

Then he remembered something else.

He immediately said, "By the way, what's the way to let my physical body enter the Origin Universe?"
I'm not like Old Li, my physical body would be broken down if I entered.

Even Teacher Li cannot stay in the Great Dao Universe for long.

Tell me quickly, what exactly is this method? Is it reliable?

The fact that Fang Ping wasn't blinded by the true blood shows that his personality hasn't changed; he's still as afraid of death as before.

Zhang Haoran said confidently, "Don't worry! I've already made arrangements, and I even have double insurance. There's a sharp aura within my primordial world that can withstand the decomposition of the Great Dao Universe."

The reason why they were able to launch a fundamental attack on Li Zhu from such a great distance was because of these sharp and powerful auras.

You are safe until your edge is worn off.

However, you'd better not use this sharp aura for attacks, otherwise it will be consumed quite quickly.

Fang Ping nodded quickly. He would never use this life-saving item for attack; his life was the most important thing.

"The second layer of insurance is the false path created by the God-Forging Envoy, which can guarantee that you can physically enter the Origin Universe."

You are safe until the false path is destroyed.

However, that was ultimately a false path and couldn't last long.

Therefore, you must seize the time to destroy the true gate. Every second you gain may allow you to obtain a few more drops of true blood.

Remember, don't even think about breaking the True Gate. It's a treasure crafted by multiple emperors, and it's harder than most divine artifacts.

All we need is to dig a hole and collect the true blood.

You are currently in the Primal Planet mode, where you can only increase your strength by increasing your basic Qi and Blood. True Blood is very important to you.

Entering the Great Dao Universe with your physical body puts immense pressure on your original planet, so you cannot use the Sage's Decree or the Heavenly King's Seal.

I remember the Azure Cat left a mark in your original world; you should be able to contact it. You can borrow a few more artifacts from it.

"Understood! Leave the matter of the True Blood to me."

Zhang Haoran was still somewhat uneasy. He wasn't worried that Fang Ping wouldn't get the true blood, but rather that the kid might embezzle it.
He then warned, "I am currently practicing a body-refining technique, and true blood is equally important to me."

We had an agreement that no matter how much benefit you gained within a week, you would have to share half with me.

If you dare to embezzle, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Fang Ping waved his hand dismissively and said, "Don't worry! If we can bring out the true blood, we'll definitely share it with you."

Fang Ping thought to himself, "So what if you're not polite?"
I'm going to absorb all the true blood and make you drool.

They'll just say that this thing can't be collected at all, it can only be absorbed.

"At worst, I'll just get a beating. You can't really go all out, can you?"

Fang Ping would be willing to share anything else, but he had no intention of giving up such a treasure as true blood.

Zhang Haoran seemed to see through Fang Ping's thoughts and said coldly, "You better not get any funny ideas, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

Even if you absorb my true blood, I still have ways to get it back.

Would you like to experience the feeling of having your bones crushed and marrow extracted?

These words greatly surprised Fang Ping.

"Holy crap, does it have to be this toxic?"

"I was serious!"

Zhang Haoran said with a serious expression, "You better not try anything funny this time. I have ways of finding out how much true blood you've gained."

After saying that, he tossed a red ring to Fang Ping and said, "Ordinary storage equipment cannot store true blood, so don't damage your system space."

This is a treasure specially prepared for you to collect true blood.

Fang Ping could tell that Zhang Haoran wasn't joking this time; he was absolutely serious. If he was still trying to take advantage of the situation, it would really hurt their relationship.

Fang Ping feigned anger and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, what do you take me for?"

Why would I go back on my word?
You are insulting my character and have severely hurt my young heart..."

As he said this, he completely forgot who had just planned to embezzle everything.

Zhang Haoran knew Fang Ping's personality quite well and knew that he couldn't stand not getting a little advantage, so he quickly interrupted, "Alright, after you complete the mission, that ring is yours!"

This is a divine artifact-level storage ring. It can store anything, and time inside is frozen. Whatever you put in will be exactly the same when you take it out.

Of course, things with wisdom won't do!
Yes! You can also use it to kill someone to silence them, or to murder for money.

No matter what level of power they possess, once forcibly trapped inside, their souls will collapse.

Actually, this isn't some kind of magical artifact at all; it's a technologically advanced storage ring specifically designed to store high-level items.

Then he said irritably, "You should think about how to get more true blood instead of trying to take advantage of me."

Upon seeing that he could potentially acquire a high-level storage ring, Fang Ping immediately stopped playing the victim.

He immediately left the chat channel and roared into the depths of the Forbidden Sea: "Heavenly Emperor! Senior Stone! There's no need to guard the Fist God anymore."

Come on over, let's take down the boss together.

"Brush Persia!"

Tengu asked in confusion, "What does this mean? Are you going to brush my fur?"

"I am not a grey cat; I do not need a groomer."

Bullshit brush-brush general, I'm not that shameless.

In his excitement, Fang Ping forgot that the two had just recovered and probably didn't understand English, so he quickly explained, "Fighting the boss means fighting the Human Emperor, come over here quickly!"

This time he didn't mention the treacherous emperor, fearing the celestial dog wouldn't understand.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The tengu shouted excitedly:

"Kill the Human Emperor! That's great!"

"I'm coming right away. I can smell that stench coming from Ji already."

In fact, the Heavenly Dog and the Spring Guardian had already seen the huge commotion caused by the Human Emperor's physical body traversing the Great Dao Universe.

Moreover, they could also sense the dozens of powerful individuals gathered here.
It's just that no one invited them to join the battle, so the two of them have been holding back, preparing to come and help when the battle reaches a critical moment, which would be a timely help in need.

Besides, they did have important business to attend to: reinforcing the seal on the Fist God.

In fact, the fall of Tengu was closely related to the Fist God.

Don't be fooled by the Tengu's usual reckless attitude; it bites anyone it can get its hands on, even daring to bite the Overlord Emperor.

Actually, he's quite aware of his own limitations. He knows he's offended too many people, and many don't want to see him improve his abilities.

If the third virtual gate is broken within the territory, someone will definitely come out to block the way.

So he asked Cangmao for directions to the Heavenly Tomb and went deep into the Heavenly Tomb to undergo his tribulation.

It felt that breaking through there was safer, at least it wouldn't encounter human abductors, and any danger would come from the surrounding environment.

Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment when it was about to break through the third illusory gate, the Fist God suddenly broke free from the seal, which caused it to fail at the last moment, die and disappear, leaving only a golden body that was picked up by Hongkun.

If Fang Ping hadn't caused trouble at the headquarters of the Divine Cult and killed too many powerful figures, it wouldn't have been able to revive.

The moment the Tengu was revived, he dragged the Spring Guardian to the depths of the Heavenly Tomb, just to see how the Fist God was doing.

Actually, when he saw the Fist God being sealed back, he understood what was going on.

Only an emperor could release a martial artist at the peak of the eighth level and then seal them back.

He desperately wanted to take revenge on the emperor, but unfortunately, his breakthrough failed, and having just recovered, he was unable to break through the Nine Heavens.

With his current strength, even if he could actually reach the Ninth Heaven, he would only be a dog meat hotpot for someone else.

However, he will remember this grudge!
Now that the Human Emperor has descended to the mortal realm in his true form, he naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity for revenge.

Regardless of which emperor schemed against him last time, the Human Emperor must know, so he'll take revenge on him first.
