Chapter 397: The Path of Evolution, Extraordinary
"I didn't expect things to deteriorate much faster than I thought."

The Dark Taoist thought for a while, and then sighed slightly, "In the past, during the Great Yue Dynasty, the threat posed by the Wanyuan Plain was far less than this. It was just a normal mythological battlefield. Over the past thousand years, Changshengtian has been invading the material world imperceptibly. The area of ​​the Wanyuan Plain has expanded, and the creatures that have come out of it have become more and more terrifying."

The Dark Man slowly stood up and walked towards the lake.

The surrounding flat ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, which made a crunching sound when stepped on.

Su Heng followed behind her.

The underworld man waved his hand, plucked a few young leaves from the bodhi tree next to him, and then scattered them into the lake in front of him.

Below the lake was a gurgling stream filled with black pebbles. The bodhi leaf drifted with the current, swirling and gradually disappearing from Su Heng's sight.

"I have never really come into contact with beings of that level, so most of the knowledge I have learned comes from the records in ancient books." The Dark Taoist looked down at the cold spring flowing under his feet, and his voice came slowly, "Plus, over the past thousand years, the cultivation system has also changed.

So here’s some of what I’m describing.

There may be some discrepancies.

Therefore, it can only be used as a reference, and don’t be too obsessed with it.”

"I understand." Su Heng nodded. Being able to learn some useful information from the Dark Man was already a pleasant surprise for him.

"The realm above the Earthly Immortal is called the Realm Master, and in some books, it is also recorded as a Saint." The Dark Daoist said, "The so-called transcendence into a Saint is not only a transformation in the level of life, but also a sublimation in the level of power mastered."

"The first step to this realm is to seal the world and merge your spiritual power with a world in Changshengtian."

“Seal the world and open the sky?” Su Heng was immediately certain.

The man from the underworld turned around and nodded slightly to him, "Not bad."

"But refining the world does not mean true transformation. This is only the first step. What is more important is the next step, which is to use the world you have refined as a foundation and evolve your own unique path on it."

The underworld man said, "For example, the path of the corpse king you met before is likely related to reincarnation, life and death, decay, and the like."

"From this point of view, whether it is humans, demons, or ancient races like the demon descendants of Changshengtian, the training methods after entering this level are roughly the same, but there are differences in details."

"What kind of benefits can you get after evolving your own path?" Su Heng asked.

The underworld Taoist said, "The powerful earthly immortals, even people like you and me, only have magical powers in their hands, which are the Dharma. If you can evolve your own path in Changshengtian, then the power you control in your hands is the 'Tao'. There is a fundamental difference between the two."

Su Heng nodded, "Then the strength of the Tao should also be related to the world of refining."

"Indeed." The Dark Daoist replied, "Normally speaking, the more prosperous this world becomes, the stronger one's own path will become."

"Then, if a person wants to control multiple paths, then he can only refine multiple worlds in Changshengtian?" Su Heng guessed with his divergent thinking.

"It is also possible to evolve multiple paths in one dojo." The Dark Daoist shook his head and said seriously, "But doing so is very risky, because if the two paths conflict with each other, not only will there be no progress, but it will cause collapse and serious damage to the vitality.

Therefore, if you try to evolve multiple avenues, you usually take several similar paths and don’t take too big a step.”

"Since the strength of the dojo is closely related to the monks' strength, if the dojo is destroyed, will the monks themselves also be seriously hurt?" Su Heng asked.

"You are right." The Dark Taoist nodded, "Once the dojo is destroyed, the best outcome is that the cultivation level will be degraded, and the worst outcome is that the person will die instantly."

Su Heng frowned slightly, "But this way, although it can certainly increase the upper limit of my strength, it also adds a fatal weakness to myself for no reason."

"That's true, that's why ancient books record that you must never reveal the location of your own dojo to others." The Taoist underworld replied.

Su Heng thought for a moment and asked again:
"If I refine the blood realm, can I evolve my own path on it?"

The Dark One replied, “Indeed you can.

In fact, in my opinion, the origin of the blood world is quite strong, and the world will is extremely active.

Under normal circumstances, such a world might be the place where many powerful people dream of proving their truth. Because as long as they can refine it, considering the special environment in the blood world, they should be able to enter the realm of the master quite easily.

The path you will obtain later should be related to blood, killing and the like.

The increase in my own combat power is also very obvious."

"But there are disadvantages to doing this." The Dark Daoist said, "The Blood Realm is connected to the Myth Battlefield, and it is easy to be targeted after refining it."

Su Heng was very decisive, "I have no intention of taking this path now."

"That's easy."

The Dark Daoist didn't try to persuade him any further. "Just defeat the Blood Realm Will and don't refine it completely. The road is under your feet. Whether you walk on it or not is entirely up to you."

"I understand." Su Heng clasped his fists towards Ming Dao Ren and thanked him sincerely.

Then he turned and left.

He originally thought that his enemy was in the blood realm.

But now it seems that those powerful forces of destruction are obviously making some big moves.

Su Heng also rarely felt a sense of urgency. He had to seize the time and improve his strength as quickly as possible.

……

……

……

Su Heng returned to the Demon Suppression Tower. Although the situation in the Blood Realm had gradually stabilized, it was already getting very busy here.

When Su Heng opened the door, he saw figures swaying in front of him, handing over various matters quickly and efficiently.

A sentence suddenly popped up in his mind -

'The rear is like this. The frontline soldiers only need to devote themselves to the battlefield, follow orders and fight bravely. But the rear personnel have many things to consider.'

I feel a little funny for some reason.

boom!
A door next to it was pushed open from the inside, and there was a noise.

Li Hongxiu always dressed in red, walked slowly and without making any sound.

But this time, she wore a tight-fitting shorts and training pants, with her white arms exposed and her forehead stained with sweat. Her waist-length hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, making her look impetuous and resolute.

She pushed open the door with her left hand and held a thick stack of documents in her right hand.

His clear eyes swept across the room quickly.

Then his face lit up with joy and fell on Su Heng.

"It just so happens that there are some materials here that require your approval." Li Hongxiu said crisply and came in front of Su Heng.

Su Heng took the booklet she handed over and looked through it carefully.

Here is a transaction record.

As the situation stabilizes, follow-up troops have begun to exploit the resources of the Blood Realm and have compiled a book of the resources currently collected.

Part of these resources will be used to train talents and reward frontline fighters, while the remaining abundant or less urgently needed resources will be exchanged with immortal sects and families in Linjiang, Changyue and other places through major chambers of commerce.

Resource mobilization is a big problem here.

Although Li Hongxiu had gained Su Heng's trust, she did not dare to make a decision easily on this matter.

Su Heng knew that this matter was indeed of great importance, so he thought carefully while frowning and reading through it seriously.

The resources mined in the blood world can be roughly divided into several categories.

First up is biomass.

Including the flesh and blood left by demons and ordinary monsters, as well as some materials that can be used to cultivate war slaves, etc.

The flesh and blood of demons is the most common material in the cultivation world, and Su Heng is an insatiable bottomless pit, so most of the harvest must be kept and digested directly internally.

As for some demons with special talents.

It can be sold as a specialty to some small and medium-sized sects in need.

The second is minerals.

In addition to the more common minerals, there are two types of minerals worth noting.

The first type is the "blood poison ore" that has been infiltrated by the aura of the blood realm. Weapons forged with this material can prevent wounds from healing. It can even have a certain effect on earthly immortals, and its value is self-evident.

The second type of mineral is "volcanic lava".

The volcanic bomb extracted and condensed from this mineral can cause quite impressive killing effects.

Su Heng had suffered a loss before when he fought against the giant crocodile Lei Lord in Zunfa Temple.

At that time he had not yet merged with the dragon skeleton.

Although his physical strength couldn't be compared to what it is now, it was still quite good.

The huge amount of energy generated by the explosion of the volcanic bomb broke through the defense and caused some minor injuries.

"Um……"

Su Heng thought about it, then made a big stroke on it.

Part of these blood poison ores can be sold, but all of the volcanic lava must be kept.

As for the last plants and so on.

The blood world is desolate and there are not many plant species that can be used for medicinal purposes.

But there are several drugs in it that, after research, seem to have the effect of enhancing mental strength.

Su Heng gave an order, asking Zhao Zongwu at the front to continue to send people to investigate and give him a detailed report as soon as possible. After making his comments, Su Heng handed the document in his hand to Li Hongxiu.

Li Hongxiu took it and glanced at it briefly.

Then, like a magic trick, he handed another document to Su Heng, which contained a list of items available for purchase from other forces.

Su Heng flipped it open and his eyes lit up immediately. He saw a lot of special drugs that can be used to increase spirits, and the effect seems to be quite good.

Although he did not intend to use the Blood Realm as a training ground and embark on the path of "Realm Master", he could not completely defeat the world will of the Blood Realm without sufficient mental strength. These drugs could help Su Heng solve his urgent problem.
