Seeing the Blood Sui's tentacles all limp and drooping, scattered on the ground like dead snakes, the Giant Corpse Phantom controlled by Song Wen ceased its attack.
The Gu worms that had been rampaging within the Blood Sui were also recalled by Song Wen.
"Is the Blood Sui dead?" Mi He asked.
Song Wen replied, "It's not a living being, so it doesn't truly die. It's just been severely wounded and is temporarily dormant. With enough blood food and Spiritual Qi, it will recover quickly."
Lan Chen said, "Let's divide the Blood Sui quickly to avoid any complications."
The Blood Sui's fleshy orb was enormous, over a mile in diameter.
Mo Yexue's natal flying sword sliced through the Blood Sui's tough outer layer. Then, the Giant Corpse Phantom conjured by the Twelve Capitals Corpse Formation summoned a massive long saber and divided the Blood Sui's body into four equal portions.
Song Wen, Lan Chen, and Mo Yexue each received three-tenths, while Mi He received one-tenth.
"Fellow Daoists, the Beastmaster Sect's earth veins are still blocked. If we delay, it could lead to irreversible consequences. I'll go ahead and unseal them."
After Mi He finished speaking, she raised her hand and unleashed a wave of Spiritual Power, which swept toward the remaining fragments of Blood Sui's body.
Seeing this, Mo Yexue and Lan Chen exchanged glances, a hint of coldness flashing in their eyes.
However, they didn't immediately attack. Instead, Mo Yexue used spiritual sense transmission to communicate with Song Wen.
"Ji Yin, is this three-tenths of Blood Sui's physical form enough for one person to advance to the Divine Transformation Realm?"
Mo Yexue's question wasn't really directed at Song Wen; she was actually asking Xu Geng.
Song Wen nodded almost imperceptibly.
While dividing Blood Sui's body, Song Wen had secretly consulted Xu Geng. The answer he received was that this three-tenths of Blood Sui's physical form was more than enough for one person to reach the Divine Transformation Realm, with some left over.
Mo Yexue and Lan Chen both wore satisfied expressions.
"Daoist Mi He, unsealing the earth veins requires extreme caution. The slightest mistake could damage them, making the process incredibly time-consuming and laborious. Why don't we have disciples from each of the Three Sects assist you?" Mo Yexue suggested.
Mi He, unaware that she had just narrowly escaped death, only wanted to take Blood Sui's remains and get as far away from Song Wen and the others as possible.
Unsealing the earth veins was merely a pretext for Mi He. How could she possibly agree to Mo Yexue's proposal? She quickly declined.
"It was a minor matter, Fellow Daoists. There's no need to trouble you three."
As she spoke, Mi He rolled up her portion of Blood Sui's remains and continued, "Fellow Daoists, I must take my leave."
They were already near the Beastmaster Sect. Her words sounded less like a farewell and more like a polite way of urging her guests to leave.
Lan Chen said, "If that's the case, we won't overstay our welcome. Daoist Mi He, we owe our success in slaying Blood Sui to your and the Beastmaster Sect's assistance. If you or the Beastmaster Sect ever face an insurmountable problem in the future, feel free to seek me at the He Huan Sect."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist," Mi He replied with a faint smile. After bidding farewell to Song Wen and the others, she turned toward Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Song Wen and his companions didn't linger either. They each ordered their subordinates still on Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to bring their Giant Flying Ships over.
It's worth noting that Blood Sui's remains couldn't be stored in a Storage Ring. Song Wen and the others had to transport the Blood Sui remnants using their Giant Flying Ships.
Three massive Giant Flying Ships streaked across the sky.
Mo Yexue and Lan Chen appeared on the Asura Sect's Giant Flying Ship, sitting opposite Song Wen.
"Ji Yin, Lan Chen and I had both assumed we'd never achieve Divine Transformation in this lifetime. We owe our acquisition of the Fallen Immortal Blood entirely to you. I have no way to repay this debt. If you ever need anything from me, Mo Yexue, or the Profound Heaven Sword Sect in the future, just say the word," Mo Yexue said sincerely.
"Fellow Daoist Mo, there's no need for such formalities," Song Wen replied, then changed the subject. "When do you two plan to attempt Divine Transformation?"
Mo Yexue answered, "My lifespan is dwindling, with only a century or so remaining. Moreover, my disciple, Yan Yuyan, has already reached the Nascent Soul Stage and is more than capable of protecting the Profound Heaven Sword Sect. Therefore, I'll refine the Blood of Fallen Immortal as quickly as possible and attempt to break through to Divine Transformation."
Lan Chen took over, saying, "My situation is similar to Yexue's. I'll also attempt Divine Transformation as soon as possible."
Song Wen said, "Then I wish you both a smooth breakthrough to the Divine Transformation Realm and Ascension to the Upper Realm."
After chatting for a while longer, Mo Yexue took her leave, returning to the Profound Heaven Sword Sect's Giant Flying Ship.
Lan Chen remained behind, engaging Song Wen in several in-depth discussions on various topics.
Song Wen returned to Corpse Demon Peak with his Golden Core cultivators when Zhou Siyi immediately came to greet them.
"Junior Brother, what is this?" Zhou Siyi asked, pointing at the Blood Sui's severed remains on the Giant Flying Ship.
The ship's speed had been slow, taking nearly a month to reach their destination. During that time, Song Wen had fed the Blood Sui a considerable amount of Spirit Stones.
Remarkably, the Blood Sui's fragmented remains had begun to slowly coalesce, gradually evolving into a complete spherical form. The exposed flesh had even started to grow new skin, though it was still incredibly fragile.
Having been dismembered, the Blood Sui's power had been severely weakened. When it finally reformed into a complete Blood of Fallen Immortal, its strength would undoubtedly be far less than before. Song Wen estimated it might recover only one or two tenths of its original power.
"Senior Sister, doesn't this look familiar?" Song Wen said with a playful air, his good mood evident.
Zhou Siyi examined the Blood Sui's Blood Tentacles, her expression shifting to one of surprise. Her voice held a hint of speculation as she asked, "Could this really be the Blood Sui from the Beastmaster Sect?"
Song Wen smiled faintly and nodded.
"Then have you destroyed the Beastmaster Sect?" Zhou Siyi pressed.
"Why would I eradicate the Beastmaster Sect for no reason?" Song Wen replied.
"Wouldn't the Beastmaster Sect stand by and watch you kill their Guardian Divine Beast?" Zhou Siyi asked.
Song Wen replied, "Blood Sui is the Beastmaster Sect's name for it. Its true name is the Blood of Fallen Immortal."
"Blood of Fallen Immortal?" Zhou Siyi looked bewildered. "What is that?"
Song Wen smiled mysteriously and transmitted through spiritual sense, "It's an item that can help one advance to the Divine Transformation Realm. Moreover, Mi He and the Beastmaster Sect's disciples put in considerable effort to kill Blood Sui."
Zhou Siyi turned her head, her eyes fixed on Blood Sui's massive body, her face filled with shock.
Song Wen ordered his disciples to hollow out a small mountain next to Corpse Demon Peak to house Blood Sui's remains. He then set up a Blood Shadow Formless Formation and a Primordial Dragon-Trapping Array nearby.
The Blood Shadow Formless Formation was designed to block Blood Sui's senses, preventing it from attacking others at will.
The Primordial Dragon-Trapping Array had been recovered from the Beastmaster Sect.
To prevent Blood Sui's power from growing too rapidly, Song Wen couldn't let it devour Spiritual Qi and blood food freely like the Beastmaster Sect had.
As a result, Blood Sui would remain perpetually hungry, constantly at risk of escaping or lashing out. The Primordial Dragon-Trapping Array was meant to contain it.
Blood Sui was assigned to dedicated caretakers, freeing Song Wen from having to worry about it. He began cultivating in seclusion, striving to break through to Peak Nascent Soul as soon as possible.
