Wang Lizun's words opened a window for Xunuo, leading to a sudden realization. The magical artifact, Blood Sacrifice, formed a bloodline connection with its master. Even a Cultivator one major Realm higher would find it extremely difficult to erase this Blood Sacrifice Mark.
Just like in the stone chamber of the Ghost Mist Forest, where a Foundation Establishment Stage Purple Corpse had forcibly tried to erase the Blood Sacrifice Mark left on the Heavenly Shadow Spike by Xunuo. Although it managed to sever the magical connection between Xunuo and the Heavenly Shadow Spike, it could not eliminate the Blood Sacrifice Mark in a short time, ultimately leading to its demise.
However, this bloodline connection was not without limitations. The farther away one was, the fainter this connection became. After reaching a certain distance, it could indeed be forcibly erased. What Wang Lizun mentioned about erasing the Blood Sacrifice Mark left on an artifact in an independent space was also a method to sever the bloodline connection. Xunuo immediately thought of the Boundary Stone, feeling a deep resentment akin to guarding a treasure mountain without entering.
Once inside the Boundary Stone Starlight Arena, Xunuo quickly took out the newly acquired Heavenly Shadow Spike. Removing the Talisman that blocked Divine Sense, he urged his magical power to forcibly erase it. Although the Blood Sacrifice Mark on it had loosened significantly, it was not something that could be erased in a short time.
Xunuo chuckled. With the correct direction in mind, he had more means at his disposal. Turning around, he stepped into the light curtain before him and appeared in the Spirit Domain. As his Divine Sense probed the Heavenly Shadow Spike, he completely severed the bloodline connection left by the Insect Manipulation Cultivator.
With a surge of magical power, Xunuo traced his fingers across the Heavenly Shadow Spike. In an instant, the Blood Sacrifice Mark left by the Insect Manipulation Cultivator vanished. Seizing the moment, Xunuo pricked one of his fingers, allowing several drops of blood to seep into the Heavenly Shadow Spike. A new bloodline connection suddenly formed.
Xunuo let out a joyous howl and began to run wildly among the treetops. Ever since obtaining his first Heavenly Shadow Spike, he had longed to gather a complete set. Today, he finally fulfilled that wish; the exhilaration was beyond words.
In a grand hall of Insect Path, over ten inscrutable Cultivators were discussing matters. The Song Clan Practitioner who had lost his Heavenly Shadow Spike rushed in frantically. One of the presiding Cultivators turned coldly and said, "Who is so unruly as to intrude upon our meeting?"
The Song Clan Practitioner knelt and cried out, "Shibo, please calm your anger! My master instructed me to report immediately upon sensing my artifact's presence; that is why I dared to act so recklessly."
A nearby Cultivator waved his hand at the presiding Cultivator and asked the Song Clan Practitioner, "Was the sensing weak or strong?"
With a voice tinged with despair, the Song Clan Practitioner replied, "It has weakened to an almost undetectable level, and..." Suddenly stopping mid-sentence, his eyes bulged as he spat out a mouthful of blood. Coughing between gasps, he exclaimed, "The Blood Sacrifice Mark has been erased." With that final statement, he collapsed unconscious.
Two disciples quickly ran in from outside the hall and carried him out to rest.
The head cultivator slammed his hand on the table, angered. "That Xu the Thief could never erase the Blood Sacrifice Mark of a cultivator of the same level. Whoever did this must be someone else. Zhang Shidi, can you trace Xu the Thief's origins?"
A white-clad cultivator cupped his hands and replied, "This person indeed hails from Chaotic Valley and is quite a renowned Alchemist."
Hearing this, the head cultivator coldly said, "In that case, the ones who erased my Insect Path disciple's Blood Sacrifice Mark must be three old ghosts from Chaotic Valley. They should have stayed quietly in Copper Sand Sea, but now they have dared to extend their reach into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, right to my Insect Path's doorstep. Don't blame me for being ruthless."
Afterward, this cultivator glanced at Zhu Xiu and addressed a middle-aged cultivator. "Qiao Shidi, take two Foundation Establishment Stage disciples and pay a visit to Chaotic Valley. Do not show any mercy; you must retrieve our disciple's magical artifact. The Insect Path has stood for thousands of years; we cannot lose face because of these old ghosts."
The middle-aged cultivator nodded but hesitated. "These three old Ghost Cultivators have been cultivating for hundreds of years; their powers are unpredictable. If I only take two Foundation Establishment Stage disciples with me, I fear we may not be able to suppress them completely."
The head cultivator chuckled, "Qiao Shidi, rest assured. Those three old ghosts have no chance of breaking through to Foundation Establishment Stage. You alone can sweep through Chaotic Valley without even needing to lift a finger."
The middle-aged cultivator laughed lightly, "If that's the case, then I shall go." With that, he took his leave from the hall.
Xunuo was completely unaware that he had brought calamity upon Chaotic Valley this time. Once he exited the Boundary Space, he began to ponder the hidden function of the Heavenly Shadow Spike. This was rumored to possess power comparable to an Intermediate Magical Artifact.
After experimenting for a moment, Xunuo discovered this so-called hidden function without needing to think too deeply. As long as he activated the magical artifact to its fullest extent, the Six Heavenly Shadow Darts would automatically generate a cohesive force. In an instant, they merged into a spear ten zhang long. This spear shimmered with purple light and emitted an immense pressure that nearly filled the entire Spirit Land.
Wang Lizun and the others were terrified and immediately tried to flee. However, in an instant, this overwhelming pressure dissipated entirely, returning the Spirit Land to its calm and serene state. Wang Lizun and Xiang Youhe quickly deduced from where the pressure had originated and immediately warned other cultivators not to panic but also not to investigate the source of the pressure.
At that moment, Xunuo sat on the ground with a dejected expression, slowly recovering his mana. The activation of Heavenly Shadow Spike's hidden function had instantly drained all his mana. He didn't even get a chance to test its power before collapsing due to exhaustion. The purple spear split into six and transformed back into Six Heavenly Shadow Darts, scattering around Xunuo.
Xunuo, helplessly recovering his magical power, pondered how to unleash the hidden potential of the Heavenly Shadow Spike, at least to manifest its striking power. After much thought, he concluded that the only way to activate the hidden function of the Heavenly Shadow Spike was to simultaneously use a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone to replenish his magical energy. Only by infusing both spiritual and magical energy at the same time could he possibly bring forth that strike.
However, this was merely a conjecture. Xunuo was reluctant to consume a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone just to test this theory.
After more than ten days, Xunuo quietly left the Cave and headed towards Youzhou Ancient City. He had engaged in a fierce internal struggle about this journey but ultimately decided not to be a complacent lamb.
The goal of Xunuo's trip was primarily to seek opportunities to join a Cultivation Sect. Secondly, he aimed to reach Youzhou Ancient City to forge a Defensive Artifact. Of course, he had also carefully planned his route for this journey. Along the way, there were many Cultivation Families and Loose Cultivator settlements, as well as several sizable Markets. Xunuo intended to visit these places and look for materials needed to forge his Defensive Artifact.
Xunuo knew of three types of Refining Materials that were particularly effective against Thunder Law. Moreover, these three materials had no conflict with those from the Ironclad Mountain Beast. As long as he could obtain one of them, he would have the main material needed for the Defensive Artifact. The auxiliary materials would need to be added according to the Refiner's requirements, which meant he would have to procure them on the spot.
