Chapter 245 The Holy Church's Blood Sacrifice Array, Activated? (3.2K views, please subscribe!)

After the investment funds came in, with Su Yuan's strong support, Juque Tissue Box Factory rapidly transformed itself at a rate that changed every day.

During this period, it is said that Taibai Baiji found a breakthrough opportunity and officially went into seclusion.

Su Yuan then had no more scruples and began to buy up spirit beast raw materials on a large scale.

These raw materials, ostensibly for the production of psionic engines, were actually used to rebuild the Eight Treasures Merit Pool in the basement of the Yuanjiao Building.

At the same time, he also established contact with the Yuanjiao branch in Taihua City to help it expand its production capacity as soon as possible.

The "Magic Version Three-Turn Golden Pill" and "Magic Version Heaven-Opening Pearl" produced in Taihua City were dumped into the Ten Immortals City through various channels.

In addition, the puppet artists under Yuanshi Media also arrived in Shixian City by passenger boat, and came to this decadent academy city to develop their careers.

With the puppeteers' professional skills, coming to the City of Ten Immortals will only give them greater opportunities for development.

When Yang Meier and the other puppet performers arrived, Wang Qiu, who was originally staying in Wanbao District, heard the news and took the opportunity of investing in Yuanjiao's business to have various private contacts with Yang Meier.

Su Yuan saw all of this, but he didn't try to stop it.

In conclusion, by annexing the three sects of the Chaotic Sword Hall, the Yuan Sect quickly gained a foothold in the Ten Immortals City and rapidly grew stronger.

On August 1st, with the self-aspirating psionic engine already in production, Su Yuan finally received the official documents from the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect.

The document's content is simple; it is formal proof that the Yuan Cult has been incorporated into the Exorcising Sword Sect as a vassal sect.

Upon receiving the official document, Su Yuan heard a crisp "ding-dong" sound.

[Quest Reward: Holy Church Blood Sacrifice Grand Array Diagram *1 (Claimable)]

Su Yuan held the certificate of affiliated sect and placed it in the most conspicuous position in the cabinet behind his desk.

Then, he chose to claim the reward.

The diagram of the Holy Church's Blood Sacrifice Grand Array appeared in Su Yuan's mind in an instant, and he immediately mastered it.

After thoroughly understanding the usage and function of the Blood Sacrifice Array, Su Yuan suddenly realized.

Immediately, he sent a message to the work group and took the boss's private elevator to the third basement level.

The third basement level was originally the training room for the members of the Imperial Sword Sect. After Su Yuan's renovation, an octagonal pool was dug out on this level.

This pool has a water capacity equivalent to a standard swimming pool, making it quite large.

Spiritual mist rose from the pool, and the spiritual liquid was almost overflowing.

Of course, it was actually just blood, which Su Yuan disguised as righteousness.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Su Yuan summoned a water dragon from the Merit Pool. Following Su Yuan's will, the dragon landed on the ground, outlining a series of magnificent array patterns.

A large array, with the Eight Treasures Merit Pool as its central core, gradually took shape on the third underground level.

Just then, the elevator doors opened not far away.

Zhang Baiyi, Ji Ming, Wan Ningxiang, and Huang Yunzhou were the first to walk out.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Nuoyi, holding Taibai Yuxi, also gracefully walked out of the elevator.

Upon seeing this intricate array drawn with spiritual liquid, the high-ranking members of the Yuan Sect were all taken aback.

Taibai Yuxi easily saw through the secrets of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool and the spiritual liquid, and an excited smile appeared on her lips.

Although Su Yuan hadn't said anything yet, the white-haired loli had already anticipated that Su Yuan was about to pull off something big.

"Master, what brings you here in such a hurry?"

Zhang Baiyi frowned and asked.

Su Yuan didn't keep them in suspense and calmly explained:

"I recently obtained a battle formation diagram by chance."

"The effect of this array is very simple: by sacrificing the blood of living beings, one can summon demonic creations or demonic beings from other worlds."

"Now, I am ready to attempt my first sacrifice."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Baiyi was immediately moved and exclaimed in surprise:

"The method of blood sacrifice?"

"This is an outright demonic technique, Su Yuan, you are committing a grave offense against Heaven..."

Su Yuan turned around and stood with his hands behind his back.

He smiled and said to Zhang Baiyi:

“Master Zhang, the blood I used for this blood sacrifice was all from demonic beasts. Although it harms the natural order, it does not harm people.”

"Moreover, with just one blood sacrifice, we can obtain power from outside Earth. Isn't that a good deal?"

"If we were lucky enough to summon intelligent beings from other worlds, could we find out the coordinates of a world occupied by demonic forces through those beings?"

Zhang Baiyi opened his mouth, and had to admit that he was somewhat convinced.

Although he was unaware that some of the Ten Great Immortal Sects had their year-end exams focused on conquering the world, he was well aware of the value of a new world.

If one could obtain world coordinates that are not included in the Federation's records, or even just a partial clue, it could be exchanged for a large amount of wealth.

Even... the priority development rights of this world.

Although Zhang Baiyi, who comes from a prestigious family, is not the son of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, there is a Nascent Soul Ancestor in his family.

If he can make great contributions to the family... wouldn't that bring glory to his ancestors?

After a flurry of complex emotions, Zhang Baiyi simply remained silent.

Ji Ming and the other two naturally had no objection to the blood sacrifice.

In their eyes, Su Yuan was an utterly wicked demon, and all he did was perform a blood sacrifice... which perfectly fit his character.

Wan Ningxiang asked curiously:
"Master, since you have made up your mind, why did you call us here in the first place?"

"Is there anything you need our help with?" Su Yuan nodded slightly and said:

"The highest level of anything summoned by this blood sacrifice array will not exceed that of the array master by more than one major realm."

"In other words, in the most ideal situation, the strength of the summoned creatures can reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. I am worried that I am not strong enough on my own, so I need you to help me out."

"If the summoned creatures are disobedient, you should help me suppress them."

Upon hearing this, the group naturally did not refuse.

Three Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators against one—how could they possibly be turned around and killed?

On the contrary, a sense of anticipation arose in their hearts, and they longed to see creations from other worlds.

With everything ready, Su Yuan waved his hand, and the Holy Church Blood Sacrifice Array was immediately activated!
The moment the great formation started operating, the righteous path's disguise was broken, the Eight Treasures Merit Pool revealed its true form, and the array patterns that originally seemed to be made of spiritual liquid turned blood red in an instant.

The strong smell of blood filled the air, causing Ji Ming and the other two to frown.

Immediately afterwards, the crimson array patterns lit up with red light, and the water in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool at the array's core was consumed at a visible rate as a sacrifice.

A third of the blood that was about to overflow disappeared in one go.

Finally, the required number of offerings for this blood sacrifice was reached, and an incredibly strange summoning power pierced through the endless void, spreading towards an unknown world.

The next second, blood suddenly erupted!
Above the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, a blood-red sun seemed to rise, dazzlingly bright.

As the brightness of the blood-red sun rapidly decreased, Su Yuan and the others were surprised to find that a figure's outline had appeared out of thin air inside the sun.

Judging from the outline, it was a human figure, and most likely a petite boy.

"Wow, I won the grand prize on my first try? And it's an intelligent being!"

Su Yuan was overjoyed.

Discovering a new world, taking the first step towards conquering the world, and becoming the ruler of the realm—could it be today?

One second later, the blood-red sun finally dissipated completely.

The figure that had been suspended in mid-air began to fall freely.

Su Yuan instinctively wanted to step forward and identify the summoned creature, and if it posed no threat, he would take control of it directly.

But after seeing the other person's face clearly, Su Yuan immediately stopped in his tracks.

Then, with a cry of "Ouch!", the pink-haired summon fell into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool with a thud, splashing up a spray of blood.

"Su Yuan, that's..."

Chen Nuoyi hesitated before speaking.

"Yes, it's her."

Su Yuan nodded expressionlessly.

With a gurgling sound, a girl with pink hair dyed blood red emerged from the water.

She seemed to have just woken up, and was full of morning grumpiness after being startled awake.

"Who? Who threw me into the pool...?"

Before the girl could finish speaking, she saw the familiar faces of Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi, as well as three powerful cultivators, including Ji Ming, who exuded the strength of the peak Foundation Establishment stage!
She paused, then looked down at the blood pool beneath her, which reeked of blood, and the crimson array surrounding it, before falling silent.

After a long while, the girl finally spoke, trembling:

"Master...Master, I didn't mean to be at the scene of your illegal sacrificial ceremony! Please don't kill me to silence me!"

Indeed, the being forcibly summoned by the Holy Church's Blood Sacrifice Array is none other than Qi Hanyya.

As the head of the Pill Hall of the Yuan Sect, this girl perfectly fits the criteria for a demonic being.

She had vaguely revealed that she was of extraterrestrial origin and had recently told Su Yuan that she had returned to her hometown, which also fits the scope of the Blood Sacrifice Array.

But... isn't this just too much of a coincidence?

The universe is so vast, why was you the demonic being summoned here?

Su Yuan carefully recalled the provisions of the Holy Church's Blood Sacrifice Array and discovered that the array did indeed have different priorities.

The first priority is to find, within the designated area, any demonic creations or beings that have had close ties with Su Yuan.

Su Yuan himself had never been in contact with the world outside of Earth, but Qi Hanyue was an alien!
After understanding the clause, Su Yuan sighed helplessly and had no choice but to accept his fate.

The Eight Treasures Merit Pool has a capacity equivalent to a standard swimming pool, and one-third of the pool's water is not cheap, costing up to millions.

It's such a heartbreaking loss!
Fortunately, the Holy Blood Sacrifice Array can mark the summoned creatures that are drawn out.

Take Qi Hanyue as an example. After Su Yuan extracts and marks her, he can select Qi Hanyue as the guaranteed summon for the next summon, or remove her from the summoning list.

Su Yuan would naturally choose the latter now.

"Qi, I'm sorry to have summoned you. Are you planning to go back to your hometown or stay in Shixian City?"

Su Yuan had no intention of taking his anger out on Qi Hanyue, and asked sincerely.

Qi Hanyue also realized that Su Yuan would never use her to silence her, and she was relieved.

Faced with this question, she paused for a moment, then said with some shock:
"I've arrived in the City of Ten Immortals? Really?!"

"The cost of teleporting from my hometown to Shixian City is as high as five million. I couldn't bear to take the teleportation array back to my hometown. I always took the interstellar spaceship back."

"Master, you just teleported me here so beautifully?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan also fell silent.

Perhaps... this summoning wasn't actually a loss?
Su Yuan reached out and pulled the plain-looking girl in her pajamas out of the blood pool.

Then, he said with a magnanimous expression:

"This time, my summoning saved you five million in travel expenses. I won't ask you for more; just give me the cost price of one million."

Qi Hanyue: "..."

I'll give you travel expenses?

If I wanted to come, I'll give you the travel expenses!
