"Throughout history, only pure-blooded younglings have been eligible to go.
But this time, you, Yi'er, will go with a pure-blooded youngling from our clan.
Since you've joined Demon Spirit Lake, you're considered a part of it, and you're qualified to receive a spot. Besides, judging by your Physical Body alone, you're not weaker than pure-blooded beings. It's only right that you receive it," the Old Golden Spider continued.
"Related to the Qilin, one of the Ten Scariest Beasts..." Shi Yi's mind skipped a beat when he heard this, and he thought of a lot of things.
The Shi Yi in the original novel mastered some residual techniques of the Ten Scariest Beasts during the battle against the other Shi.
This must have some connection to the Qilin Secret Realm mentioned by the Old Golden Spider.
Qilin Technique, whether it's incomplete or complete? Shi Yi thought to himself, unsure.
However, the techniques of the Ten Scariest Beasts, even if greatly flawed and just a superficial understanding, are still supreme treasures with immense value.
He naturally had to go to the Qilin Secret Realm.
It was perfect timing, as his Physical Body had just broken through its limits, reaching a weight of one hundred thousand jin. He could now stand shoulder to shoulder with those pure-blooded young creatures. Even if he had to compete for opportunities using only his Physical Body, he would not be afraid.
Currently, whether considering his Physical Body or the development of his Double Pupils, he was stronger than the "Shi Yi" of the same period. This would allow Shi Yi to be more at ease in the upcoming competitions.
"Thank you for your kindness, Ancestor."
Shi Yi regained his senses and quickly bowed to the Old Golden Spider, speaking with gratitude.
"Hehe, this is what you deserve." The Old Golden Spider said with a laugh.
At this moment, it seemed to suddenly remember something and added, "Yi'er, in fact, before you arrived, the quota for the Blood Pool Baptism had already been decided. This generation, our clan has more than one pure-blooded young creature.
"Later, I will announce to the clan the decision to give you a spot. If anyone is unconvinced, you can take action and let your strength speak."
Shi Yi nodded, indicating his understanding.
According to Old Golden Spider, the Blood Pool Baptism would open in ten months. The younger generation of Demon Spirit Lake had certainly already decided on their spots. As an outsider like him, trying to cut in line without a convincing reason would inevitably provoke dissatisfaction from the other creatures of Demon Spirit Lake.
Subsequently, the two Venerables and Shi Ziteng, father and son, discussed how Shi Yi should cultivate during these ten months before the Blood Pool Baptism.
Ultimately, they listened to Shi Yi's ideas, using a two-pronged approach: both Dao techniques and the Physical Body would be refined, both would be cultivated.
Of course, the most important thing was still the Physical Body. After all, Shi Yi had Double Pupils, and his cultivation in Dao techniques would be twice as effective, so there was no need to worry.
The Dao fruit of the Physical Body was related to achievements in the Blood Transportation Realm, and it was related to whether Shi Yi could reach the ultimate goal he had spoken of.
"These precious medicines and pills all have remarkable effects in increasing Blood Essence, and they should be enough for your cultivation over the next ten months."
"However, I must remind you that their effects are limited and won't provide infinite boosts. They'll lose their effectiveness after reaching a certain point." The Old Golden Spider handed Shi Yi a batch of cultivation resources. How to use them and the dosage were entirely up to Shi Yi.
After receiving the resources, Shi Yi expressed his gratitude. The Azure Demon Black-Pupiled Spider also approached, presenting some of the Demon Spirit Lake's treasured techniques to Shi Yi.
These included unique treasure techniques of the Golden Spider clan, as well as extraordinary secret methods collected by the Demon Spirit Lake over generations, including even techniques from other ancient divine mountains.
In this era, the pure-blooded races of the ancient divine mountains couldn't completely safeguard their techniques. Most of them had spread, either in their entirety or in fragmented forms.
Therefore, the Demon Spirit Lake wasn't worried about Shi Yi using these treasure techniques and facing repercussions from other ancient divine mountains.
In addition, the two尊者 also gave Shi Yi some ancient books on Primal Runes and Bone Characters, which had been passed down from ancient times. They were very precious, far more so than the ones Shi Yi had seen before.
According to the Old Golden Spider, many of these things had some connection to the upper realm.
Shi Yi's expression turned serious upon hearing this. He had read many books on Primal Runes and Bone Characters and had a deep understanding of them. This was also one of the main reasons he had come so far in the Blood Transportation Realm.
Cultivating in the Blood Transportation Realm wasn't just about the quantity of resources; understanding the runes was also crucial.
The profound ancient texts bestowed by the two Venerables were like timely assistance for Shi Yi.
He immediately bowed to the Old Golden Spider.
With these, Shi Yi felt he could make further progress in these ten months.
After bidding farewell to the two spiders, Shi Ziteng brought Shi Yi back to their resting place. From now on, this magnificent hall would belong to Shi Yi, for him to live and cultivate in.
"Yi'er, you should have already mastered the Martial King's Mansion's core techniques, and the two ancestors have also granted you various divine abilities from the Demon Spirit Lake.
Your father has nothing much to give you. These few precious techniques were obtained by your father when he was young, during his travels throughout the Great Wilderness. Now, I shall pass them on to you, hoping they can be of some help on your future path." Shi Ziteng suddenly spoke, handing several bone books to Shi Yi.
"Back then, during my travels through the Great Wilderness, I stumbled upon a cave left behind by a human elder, and I gained quite a few opportunities. These bone books are among them."
Shi Yi didn't refuse, accepting the bone books. He could feel the ancient, profound aura and the deep, historical atmosphere emanating from them.
"Thank you, Father."
Shi Ziteng waved his hand and said, "Why be so polite with me? As for the precious techniques from your mother's family, I'm not qualified to pass them on. I swore an oath, and even if you are my son, I cannot violate that oath. However, with your talent, as long as you go to the Rain Clan, they'll be eager to give you their Rain Clan techniques."
Shi Yi nodded.
After saying that, Shi Ziteng gave Shi Yi a few more instructions, informing him of the location of the Demon Spirit Lake's body refining grounds, and then left. He had his own matters to attend to, and staying by Shi Yi's side, he couldn't teach him anything.
After Shi Ziteng left, in the vast hall, only Shi Yi remained, sitting alone in meditation.
He didn't immediately head to the body refining grounds of the Demon Spirit Lake. Instead, he took out the ancient books on Primal Runes and Bone Characters given by the two尊者, and settled down to study them quietly.
For a full half month, Shi Yi had been delving into the ways of runes and bone characters. With the help of his Double Pupils and those ancient texts related to the upper realms, his attainments in runes and bone characters became increasingly profound, reaching a new level.
The path of the Double Pupils was all about the ability to deduce. Those with Double Pupils could often understand one thing and apply it to others, expanding from the few to the many, from the simple to the complex, and then from the complex back to the simple. Ultimately, they grasped the true meaning of the Dao.
Shi Yi set down the ancient book, his eyes shining. Innumerable symbols appeared within them.
