"Are you okay?" After recovering, Ren Pingsheng asked with some concern.
"I'm fine, just exhausted. Let's leave quickly, the farther the better. You have the Soul Pursuit Blood Seal on you, and we don't know who might be coming after us!" the Demon Emperor said helplessly.
"Soul Pursuit Blood Seal? What is that? I've only heard of it before. Can it be removed?"
"Don't think about it for now. This is a blood seal placed by a King-Level Expert before their death. Unless a King-Level Expert is willing to help you remove it, we should focus on escaping!"
"Damn it, he is the lord of Yuzhou City, to the north. Then let's continue towards Southern State. They shouldn't be able to catch up for now," Ren Pingsheng thought for a moment and made a decision. Dragging his injured body, he collected the belongings of several people and took Yi Qingyi onto the Flying Vessel, changing direction and flying straight towards Southern State.
"Ren Brother, take care of your injuries. I will handle the Flying Vessel well," Yi Qingyi said with concern.
"Yes, if you get tired, just reduce the speed; after all, it's not like we can reach there in no time."
In the end, Yi Qingyi piloted the Flying Vessel while Ren Pingsheng quietly tended to his injuries. The two gradually flew towards Southern State. However, the journey was long, and they had no idea when they would arrive.
The commotion caused by the Auction in Jiangzhou City slowly faded away, but many lives were still lost. Some treasures that circulated also sparked a wave of bloodshed.
On the tenth day after the Auction ended, nearly a million miles away, a middle-aged woman dressed in silk robes and with a beautiful face wore an expression of deep sorrow. She held a blood-red jade pendant in her hand, which had already shattered into two pieces.
This type of pendant was called a Si Ming Pei, extremely rare, capable of storing a person's essence. Once that person died, the Si Ming Pei would sense it. Now that this pendant was broken into two pieces, it indicated that the person whose essence was stored within had already died.
"Who dares to kill my child? I will make you suffer a thousand deaths and turn your bones to ashes," the woman cried out in grief and anger, wishing she could kill her enemy right then and there.
"Longjiang, I didn't expect you to fall victim as well. What kind of powerful enemy did you encounter? Don't worry; I will definitely ask my Father to help avenge you," she said upon seeing another shattered jade pendant, her face filled with despair. She had been in seclusion for some time and had just come out recently to discover that both her husband and son's Si Ming Pei were broken. In an instant, her heart was filled with unbearable pain.
This woman is indeed the wife of Mei Longjiang and the mother of Mei Xinyuan. From the aura she exudes now, she is surprisingly a King-Level Expert. She holds a significant status and her family is part of a well-known powerful faction. However, Mei Longjiang is someone who insists on breaking through to the Emperor level on his own, which is why he went to Jiangzhou City for the auction, only to end up dead in the end.
"Sigh, you are really foolish. I have told you long ago that I would find a way to help you obtain the breakthrough Elixir. Why did you have to take such risks yourself?" she murmured, her figure appearing somewhat lonely and desolate in the autumn wind.
"Don't worry, with the Soul Pursuit Blood Seal, I can sense him within a million miles. I will personally avenge you." She held the broken Life Commanding Pendant, which was glowing with Ghostly Light, pointing in the direction of Southern State. That was also the direction where Ren Pingsheng was currently traveling.
"Southern State? That's fine; it will be easier to deal with you there." She inexplicably smiled, though her laughter sounded somewhat hoarse, filled with hatred. Then she waved her hand, and a black figure appeared.
"Miss, what are your orders?" The black figure was completely shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see their face.
"Black One, you have followed me for so many years; this time I need you to do something. Take this pendant and follow the direction indicated on it. You will be able to sense them within a million miles; do not lose track of them. I will return to Southern State and contact you then."
"Miss, don't worry; I will closely follow them." The Black One took the Life Commanding Pendant and then vanished without a trace, demonstrating an exceptionally advanced Movement Technique.
At this moment, Ren Pingsheng was still unaware that someone had set their sights on him. Even if he knew, there would be nothing he could do. A million-mile range is too vast; even if he tried to escape at the speed of a Flying Vessel, he wouldn't be able to get away.
"Half a month has passed; my injuries have finally healed completely." Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes on the Flying Vessel and sighed in relief. He had been seriously injured before, and coupled with the techniques used by the Demon Emperor at that time, it had a significant impact on his body, which made him take half a month to recover.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't use True Qi yet. After another half month, when he could use True Qi again, that would be considered a complete recovery.
"By the way, what is the function of that Magic Crystal you had me auction off?" Now that Ren Pingsheng had recovered and had nothing much to do for the time being, he began to check his gains during this period.
"The Magic Crystal has two functions. The first one is what you already know: after refining it, it can rapidly increase your cultivation level. In fact, many people are unaware that the Magic Crystal has another function: it can condense Sword Momentum. After using it, it can enhance your comprehension of Sword Momentum," the Demon Emperor said with a smile.
"It can enhance my comprehension of Sword Momentum? How is that possible?"
"Hey, that's why I said very few people know about it. In fact, Magic Crystal is a specialty of our demon race, but it's also quite rare. Magic Crystal is actually the condensation of Demonic Energy after tens of thousands of years, and it contains a large amount of Killing Intent. Through a special method, you can allow your Soul to enter and refine your Sword Momentum inside."
"I see. Right now my Sword Momentum has only reached fifty-five percent comprehension, and I am still far from mastery. I don't know how long it will take. To become a sect-level powerhouse, both Sword Momentum and Artistic Conception must be mastered. Currently, my Sword Momentum is lagging behind a lot, so this is a good opportunity to improve."
Ren Pingsheng pondered for a moment and continued, "Since you say that, let me take a picture of it. It seems you should know how to use it?"
"Of course. The method is quite simple; you just need to release your Sword Momentum, then guide it with your Soul. Naturally, you'll be able to enter the internal space of the Magic Crystal for refinement," the Demon Emperor casually explained, though the method was indeed straightforward.
"Hehe, that's really surprising. But there won't be any danger, right?"
"Danger? No worries. Even if you die inside, you'll just need to rest for a few days. Anyway, you have plenty of time on this journey, so take your time!"
"Alright then, I'll give it a try now and see how it goes!" Ren Pingsheng nodded and then guided his Sword Momentum towards the Magic Crystal. Sure enough, not long after, the Magic Crystal reacted and emitted a Ghostly Light. Then Ren Pingsheng felt a wave of dizziness, and when he came to, he found himself in a space filled with black mist.
"This is the internal space of the Magic Crystal!" he murmured to himself. With his arrival, the entire black space began to tremble as monsters emerged one after another, exuding terrifying Intimidation, charging towards Ren Pingsheng.
Ren Pingsheng's expression changed; his Sword Momentum flashed and erupted forth to counter the incoming Intimidation. However, he could only hold on for a few breaths before his Sword Momentum began to falter, gradually shrinking until it shattered like glass.
"Poof..." On the Flying Vessel, with his eyes closed, Ren Pingsheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale and his spirit looking somewhat depleted.
"Ah, Ren Brother, are you alright?" Seeing Ren Pingsheng's actions startled Yi Qingyi, who immediately asked with concern. If he weren't piloting the Flying Vessel, he would have rushed over immediately.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. No need to worry; I just encountered a small issue in my cultivation." He gently waved his hand but still looked somewhat shaken.
Just moments ago, he had only managed to hold on for three breaths before his Sword Momentum shattered. He exited immediately but felt that his Sword Momentum had actually made a slight improvement. This surprised him; if he could hold on for longer next time, wouldn't that lead to even greater progress? Thinking this way filled him with renewed determination, and the fear from earlier vanished completely.
He closed his eyes and began to guide the Soul Whirlwind within the Sea of Consciousness to spin, devouring the gray clouds. For him, this practice not only helped him cultivate but also allowed him to quickly recover the depleted Soul Power.
When Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes again, three days had passed. At this moment, he felt invigorated and immediately took out the Magic Crystal, eager to enter it and start refining his Sword Momentum. He persisted for a little over three breaths before spitting out blood and retreating.
He continued to enter and exit repeatedly, each time getting injured and then withdrawing. In the blink of an eye, four months had passed. Even Yi Qingyi, who he had initially worried about, had gotten used to it and no longer found it strange. However, the results were impressive; he could now sustain himself for two minutes instead of just three breaths.
His Sword Momentum had increased from fifty-five percent to fifty-nine percent, just one step away from reaching sixty percent, which would allow him to catch up with the understanding of Artistic Conception.
"Slash!" Ren Pingsheng shouted lightly. In the air above the Magic Crystal, his Sword Momentum transformed into swords and various bizarre monsters known as Battle Beasts, all manifestations of Killing Intent. Only by using Sword Momentum could he fight against them.
"Boom..." A black Bull-headed Monster was cleaved in half by a sword formed from his Sword Momentum. However, the sword was firmly grasped by the monster's hands, which exploded in its final moments.
"More than two minutes have passed; hold on a little longer, and Sword Momentum will improve again," he shouted angrily, steadying his somewhat dazed mind and conjuring a sharp sword to battle once more.
"Get away from me!" He slashed down with his sword, knocking back a monster that was about to ambush him. However, he also took a hit; the Sword Momentum surrounding him began to crumble bit by bit, and the Surroundings' Intimidation grew stronger, making it seem like he would not be able to hold on much longer.
"Ah... one last sword; let me break through!" Ren Pingsheng steadied himself as all his Sword Momentum merged into this one strike. With a downward slash, the entire space trembled as boundless Intimidation was pierced through slightly, causing two monsters to die directly under his sword.
Unfortunately, it was just a fleeting moment before he was once again overwhelmed by monsters and retreated from the Magic Crystal space.
"Ha... indeed not bad; my Sword Momentum has reached sixty percent. The effort during this time has not been in vain." Now even if he failed, he would not spit blood anymore; at most, he looked somewhat listless due to the depletion of energy and spirit.
