I Can Upgrade My Tal Chapter 183: Thought Seal

Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Thought Seal

After learning from her master, Feng Tianrui, that Fang Yun was awake, Bai Qinying also ca to the deck of the Spirit Ship.

Feng Tianrui had been on the deck of the Spirit Ship for the past two hours.

He was waiting there for Fang Yun to wake up—he was certain that once awake, Fang Yun would first co to the deck of the Spirit Ship. At that point, he could go over and give Fang Yun the reward he had yet to receive.

"It’s nothing," Fang Yun said, shaking his head at first. But then, thinking of the scene he had just witnessed, he added, "They’re holding a ceremony down below."

"A ceremony in the Blood Dew Palace’s Earth Realm... that could only be a blood sacrifice."

"That’s right."

As Fang Yun nodded, he recalled so of the books he had read and couldn’t help but sigh.

Seeing his expression, Bai Qinying said comfortingly, "Fang Yun, don’t dwell on it. Under the control of the Blood Dew Palace, all the mortals in their Earth Realm—n and won, young and old—eventually beco blood food. There’s nothing we can do about it."

"I understand."

Compared to the books on the first and second floors of the Library Pavilion, the ones on the third and fourth floors contained much more information.

Many of those books were highly critical of the Blood Cultivation Path.

The mortals in the Blood Dew Palace’s Earth Realm all knew what their final fate would be.

Unlike normal people, becoming blood food was not a source of fear or despair for them, but rather, a supre glory!

Indoctrination from a young age had branded this belief into their minds.

These Evil Sects had a better grasp on how to manage their populace.

Children were rarely seen as blood food at the blood sacrifices.

According to so sayings in the Blood Dew Palace’s Earth Realm, the more children one raised, the sooner one could attain the supre honor of becoming blood food.

It was truly a form of sustainable developnt.

"Good, as long as you understand." Bai Qinying walked to Fang Yun’s side and also glanced down at the lands of the Blood Dew Palace’s Earth Realm. "The Blood Dew Palace borders the Vast Sea Sect and Star Moon Valley. If one were to truly deal with them and change this place, those two major sects are in a better position to do so than our Celestial Cloud Sect."

"For us, the Evil Sects on our own borders—the Celestial Demon Sect, the Black Ghost Cave, and the Demon Spirit Sect—are our real priority."

"Especially the Celestial Demon Sect!"

Fang Yun nodded as he listened.

He was well aware that the conflict between the Celestial Demon Sect and his own Celestial Cloud Sect was the deepest and most intense.

Moreover, judging by the current situation, the Celestial Cloud Sect was largely on the defensive, rather than taking the offensive.

Now that she was an Elder, Bai Qinying knew more and was willing to talk with him about these matters.

Thus, Fang Yun gleaned so new information.

His master, Xiong Xingfeng, on the other hand, didn’t want him to know too much yet.

His master always said the sa thing: at this stage, he should focus on his cultivation and Artifact Refining. Once he beca an Elder, he would naturally co to know and understand everything he needed to.

But Fang Yun was soone who liked to be prepared, so he also liked to gather information ahead of ti.

Personally, he knew very well what he should be doing right now.

He had been consistently focused on his own growth and developnt, but given the state of the Qionglin Domain, he knew that he couldn’t just keep developing later on—he would also need to make his move.

To act for his own sake, and for the sake of the Celestial Cloud Sect.

As they talked, the conversation eventually turned to the Four-Sect Trial.

"Fang Yun, you pushed yourself too hard during the Four-Sect Trial. There was no need for that. Once your score passed one hundred, you could have rested in the Secret Realm and used the remaining ti to kill the energy bodies."

Of the one hundred disciples in the Four-Sect Trial, only Fang Yun hadn’t rested for three days and three nights.

Judging by the results of this trial, he didn’t even need a hundred points. Just ninety-five would have been enough to take first place.

"Besides, taking so many Spirit Revival Pills isn’t good for your body."

"Elder Bai, let’s drop it. It’s in the past," Fang Yun said.

’I don’t get it. How co Bai Qinying has gotten so preachy since she beca an Elder?’

’Everyone thinks I took a ton of Spirit Revival Pills, and I did make a show of preparing a bunch of them before the trial.’

’In reality, I barely took any at all.’

’It’s mainly because my Spiritual Power depletes so slowly.’

’With the boost from my three-star Combat Talent, my Spiritual Power is incredibly efficient when I only use an Upper Grade Magical Artifact.’

"I know it’s in the past. I’m just telling you not to use such a radical strategy in the future."

"Yeah, yeah, I get it," Fang Yun said, nodding dismissively. "I’ll only ever participate in the Four-Sect Trial once. It’s not a big deal to go all out."

"Too bad I never got to participate at all."

"Co on, Elder Bai. Didn’t I put in enough effort for the both of us?"

"The way you did it..." Bai Qinying turned, looking Fang Yun up and down before her gaze drifted to the distance. "...I’d rather do without."

"Whether you want it or not, it’s already done."

At that, Fang Yun also looked out toward the distant horizon, no longer paying attention to what was below.

...

「The Celestial Cloud Sect’s Earth Realm.」

Within the territory of the Shen Family, a Foundation Establishnt Cultivation Clan.

Yang Yingjie, on a mission to the Celestial Demon Sect’s Earth Realm, needed to pass through here.

Yang Yingjie was hurrying along his route.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

He sensed sothing was wrong.

Being sensitive to Demon Power, he detected a faint fluctuation—the impure kind.

’This is undoubtedly a Demon!’

Even though he was within his own sect’s Earth Realm, Yang Yingjie chose to hide first and assess the situation.

Unlike when he was in the Celestial Demon Sect’s Earth Realm, his main reason for hiding here wasn’t to escape.

Before long, from his hiding spot, Yang Yingjie saw the Demon.

This was a Qi Refining Seventh Layer Demon.

He kept the fluctuations of his Demon Power suppressed, but his speed was not slow in the slightest.

If he hadn’t been so sensitive to Demon Power, Yang Yingjie would never have detected its fluctuations.

’Looks like he’s on the run.’

At this thought, Yang Yingjie didn’t hesitate. He unleashed his Spiritual Power and struck.

"Who’s there?!"

The Qi Refining Seventh Layer Demon cried out in alarm, only to be t by a Red Spot Long Sword.

This Red Spot Long Sword was the Upper Grade Magical Artifact Fang Yun had refined for Yang Yingjie. It was highly effective at suppressing Demons.

Even against a Qi Refining Seventh Layer Demon, he used this Upper Grade Magical Artifact without hesitation, giving his opponent no chance to resist.

The Qi Refining Seventh Layer Demon threw up his hands, which bristled with stiff hairs, and instinctively tried to block the Red Spot Long Sword. But the blade pierced straight through his hands and pinned them firmly to a tree.

At the sa ti, a black rope shot out and bound his feet to the tree.

Yang Yingjie had not dealt a fatal blow.

He wanted to get so information out of this Qi Refining Seventh Layer Demon.

Demons appearing in the Celestial Cloud Sect’s Earth Realm were almost always on a mission. If he could learn what that mission was, it would be a major advantage.

The Qi Refining Seventh Layer Demon pinned to the tree struggled relentlessly.

But his struggles seed to lack any strength, appearing completely powerless.

Instead of asking questions, Yang Yingjie began to search the Demon’s person.

He quickly discovered the Demon’s basic identity.

This was a Demon from the Stone Demon Sect.
