The giant Puppet remained motionless. After a few breaths, it lifted its other arm, but halfway up, it lowered it again.
Li Feiyu watched with a pounding heart, almost erupting again.
After a long while, a blood-red light mass flew out from the other intact side of the Puppet, forming a mini Blood Dragon.
"Blood Dragon?"
"It's me?"
"You appearing means I passed, right?"
The Blood Dragon nodded, sighing slightly, "I didn't expect you to actually pass. It seems I'm old and can't keep up with the current era."
Li Feiyu's suspended heart finally settled. He raised an eyebrow, "By your words, you were planning to trick me, then?"
Seeing the dangerous look in Li Feiyu's eyes, the Blood Dragon immediately said, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were a heaven-blessed genius and would definitely pass, saving me from peril…"
"Stop, stop, stop! I didn't expect you to be such a talkative Dragon!"
"Hehe, I haven't really talked to anyone for thousands of years. You would be the same if it were you."
"That's true."
The moment Li Feiyu passed, the white light shield surrounding the Blood God Palace suddenly turned red, sealing off the inside and outside, preventing anyone from entering or exiting.
Xing Yao'er, still waiting in the main hall, was completely unaware.
"Alright, I've also passed. Hand over the Legacy ancient treasure. Also, these Puppets here are quite good. It's useless to leave them here, so why not give them all to me?"
"That's fine. There are still nine Blood Beast Puppets. The other array-patterned Blood Beast Puppets and the giant Puppet are all gone. If you want the damaged Materials, you can take them, but besides the core, which can be reused, the rest don't have much value."
Li Feiyu felt a slight disappointment in his heart, "Never mind, nine are enough."
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Legacy Main Hall!"
Li Feiyu put away the Great Five Elements Sword Formation and the Soul Devouring Yin Plate. A flash of blood-red light enveloped the Blood Dragon, and Li Feiyu disappeared from the stone room.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a blood-red palace, two stories high, and a blood-colored bridge extending from his feet to the palace.
Below the bridge was a blood lake, filled with many powerful auras, mostly Core Formation stage Blood Beasts.
The Blood Dragon led Li Feiyu to the palace. The palace doors rumbled, slowly opening to both sides.
Inside the main hall, a portrait hung in the center: blood-colored robes, blood-red long hair.
The Blood Dragon said, "Kowtow and acknowledge him as your master. Following this process, you can obtain the Blood God Great Art Legacy."
Li Feiyu did as he was told. When he looked up, a Jade Slip and a crimson gourd floated before him.
"This is my vessel, the blood god gourd, and also the Legacy treasure. It is a top-tier ancient treasure, and with me as its Artifact Spirit, it can unleash its full power."
"What about the spatial ancient treasure you mentioned?"
Li Feiyu raised an eyebrow, "You wouldn't lie to me, would you?"
"Of course not. That's not the reward for the fifth trial, but an Opportunity that exists in this palace. Everyone who enters has one chance to choose, and after choosing, they will be teleported to the main hall."
As Li Feiyu pondered, the Blood Dragon added, "Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you. Because you passed, the entire Blood God Palace has been temporarily sealed and isolated. No one can enter or exit."
"Only when you successfully Cultivate the Blood God Great Art to its introductory stage, which means completing the first layer of the Blood God Great Art, can you control the Restriction in the main hall and lift the seal."
"What?!" Li Feiyu couldn't help but exclaim, "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"
Li Feiyu had already Cultivated Five Elements Cultivation Technique, and his progress was already very slow. It was impossible for him to switch to another Cultivation Technique.
"If I had told you earlier, you wouldn't have tried, would you?" the Blood Dragon muttered softly.
Li Feiyu's face darkened. He had been tricked again!
If this was the case, rushing to meet Han Li was impossible, as the opening time of the Void Heaven Palace was limited.
Perhaps it was already too late; he might have already followed the Nascent Soul Cultivators into the inner palace.
Once Han Li and Bone Sage Old Devil started fighting, the possibility of exposing the blood jade spider was very high.
And Bone Sage Old Devil, in the original story, had a shady deal with Man Hu Zi. Bringing Han Li along and revealing that he possessed the blood jade spider was 100% certain.
Because only by completely muddying the waters could he profit as a fisherman, and the best way was to take out one or two treasures from the void heaven cauldron, letting the righteous and demonic Nascent Soul Cultivators fight over them.
This way, he could execute his plan of taking the void heaven cauldron.
Before the final step, Bone Sage Old Devil should not let Han Li get into trouble.
"Han Li, oh Han Li, I hope your Luck halo is shining brightly."
Li Feiyu sighed slightly in his heart and began to concentrate on his own matters.
If he couldn't escape from here as soon as possible, once the Void Heaven Palace closed, he truly wouldn't be able to get out.
Li Feiyu's main body didn't want to Cultivate the Blood God Great Art, so he could only let his Avatar Cultivate it.
Considering that he would be teleported to the main hall after selecting a treasure, Li Feiyu asked, "Is the female Cultivator who came in with me still in the Blood God Palace?"
"Still here. Why, is she your Dao Companion?"
"Don't talk nonsense, my heart is devoted to the Great Dao!"
"Hehe, Dual Cultivation is also a Great Dao. Cultivation is so long, you have to find some fun for yourself!"
Looking at the Blood Dragon's shifty, thieving appearance, Li Feiyu said indifferently, "I won't ask you, and you're not allowed to speak. Otherwise, you can stay here by yourself. One more or one less ancient treasure doesn't affect me much!"
"No, no, no, I'll shut up, I'll shut up right away."
The Blood Dragon's body shrunk again and burrowed into the blood god gourd, only showing its head to Li Feiyu.
"Fortunately, I wasn't asked to Cultivate to Foundation Establishment. Otherwise, I wouldn't have succeeded by the time the Void Heaven Palace closed!"
Li Feiyu studied the Mystic Womb Pearl Great Art in the main hall. After mastering it, he began to Divide Soul again. With the successful experience of the Great Development Art, Li Feiyu was familiar with the process and succeeded in half an hour, nearly doubling the number of Divided Souls.
Then he began to refine the Mystic Womb Pearl, turning it into an Avatar.
The Mystic Womb Pearl was a treasure specially created by an ancient Sect for condensing Avatars, so forming an Avatar was very simple, succeeding in just half a day.
Finally came the Primordial Spirit division. This process was quite dangerous. Even with the detailed guidance of the Mystic Womb Pearl Great Art, Li Feiyu felt a sense of trepidation.
This process was full of hardship; the pain of Primordial Spirit division was unimaginable to ordinary people. Even with Li Feiyu's strong will, he almost couldn't hold on midway.
But fortunately, there was no danger.
Another day passed. The Second Primordial Spirit, after being set with a Restriction, took over the Avatar and bound with it, then began to Cultivate the Blood God Great Art with all its might.
The Clone condensed from the Mystic Womb Pearl had Aptitude comparable to a mutated Spiritual Root, so its Cultivation speed was naturally not slow. Li Feiyu's main body, meanwhile, began to try to recover from the Primordial Spirit damage, but without specific Spirit Medicine or treasures to nourish the Primordial Spirit, recovery was very difficult.
"There is soul nourishing wood in the Void Heaven Palace. If nothing unexpected happens, Han Li should be able to obtain it. When I see him next time, I'll trade with him."
It was not far from Li Feiyu's prediction. Without his intervention, Han Li indeed entered the inner palace, the blood jade spider was exposed, and he was forced to open the void heaven cauldron.
Bone Sage Old Devil failed to harm Han Li and died at his hands. Then he met Yuan Yao and obtained the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk and a small section of soul nourishing wood with roots.
When Han Li was teleported out of the Void Heaven Palace, Li Feiyu was still Cultivating the Blood God Great Art.
The first layer of the Blood God Great Art was equivalent to the fourth layer of Qi Condensation Realm. Even with Li Feiyu's main body providing sufficient Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones, and the Second Primordial Spirit having no Realm Bottlenecks, it still took nearly half a month to successfully Cultivate.
Adding the previous time, it had been about a month in total.
"Finally succeeded!" Li Feiyu let out a light breath.
The Blood Dragon immediately flattered, "Li Feiyu, congratulations! You've successfully started the Blood God Great Art!"
Li Feiyu looked at his Avatar, who looked exactly like him, which made him feel strange.
To prevent Xing Yao'er from discovering the abnormality of the Second Primordial Spirit later, Li Feiyu gave him the seamless clothes and then had him wear a black robe to conceal his figure.
"Tell me, which one is the spatial ancient treasure?"
"You first successfully refine the blood god gourd, and then I'll tell you!"
Li Feiyu reluctantly spent another half a day, initially refining the blood god gourd. Once Li Feiyu was teleported, as his Magic Treasure, it would naturally be teleported to the main hall.
"I haven't been in here either, but I know what it looks like. It's a yellow and green bead. You can look for it yourself."
