Chapter 8: The Secret Manual of Ten Thousand Bloods, The Giant Turtle of the East Sea (Seeking Collection)

  The eight hundred li of riverbank, with its grand and majestic atmosphere. However, what makes one's heart tremble is not the blood-soaked ground or the flesh, nor is it the white dragon's wild and arrogant posture. Rather, it is the clouds in the sky that continue to condense, growing darker and thicker.

  The thunderbolt has finally arrived!

  Dark clouds rolled, like ancient giant beasts, constantly changing shape. Eight-winged ferocious dragons, round and open with sharp teeth and big mouths, countless ancient evil spirits' faces flashed in the cloud layer, shocking people's souls, casting a shadow over people's hearts.

  "Hmph, the Nine-Nine Cloud Demon Tribulation is a rare occurrence. First, it's the Heartbreak Tribulation, but what I've seen is a hundred times more real than what you're showing me. I've even witnessed battles between ancient gods and evil spirits, which were shocking to say the least! Roar!" Huang Xiaoyou still had the body of the Five-Clawed White Dragon, feeling the changes in his physical body due to the dragon tribe's genes, feeling his body growing stronger with each passing moment. He continued to analyze this process.

  The dark clouds finally cracked open and poured down a torrent of rain, with countless dragons descending from the sky, creating an earth-shattering scene.

  Sizzle! A wave of roasted meat aroma wafted from Huang Xiaoyao's body, and the white dragon body turned dark brown, scales constantly falling off, revealing a pale golden light.

  "Hmm? I've discovered it again, the power within the calamity that gives birth to destruction and life, wanting to destroy yet leaving a thread of life for living beings. Is this the true meaning of heavenly calamity? And within this power, what allows destruction and life to take effect simultaneously is a heavenly principle - balance. Could this be the balancing law of the Heavenly Way? Let's call this power 'Balancing Calamity' for now. Human calamity, heavenly calamity, earthly calamity, quantitative calamity, boundless calamity, destructive calamity... could they all be the effects of the balancing heavenly principle? If my body contains balance, then even if countless powers and divine abilities converge on me, there won't be any conflict. Could this be the power I've been searching for?"

  Huang Xiaoyou allowed the thunderbolts to strike him without any defense, his skin falling off layer by layer, only to grow back again. It was as if he was undergoing a process of destruction and creation, which made his physical body stronger and his bloodline evolve further. In his body, an intangible power was produced.

  "This is power, pure power, the power that awakens when the flesh and blood evolve to a certain extent. This kind of power can be summarized in one word - force. It turns out that this is the true meaning of the Power Law. I originally thought that power was just brute strength, but it turns out that the Power Law, like other Yuanqi Laws, is an attribute, a law that transcends Yuanqi Laws. No wonder Pangu could open up the sky and earth, when that kind of power is cultivated to the highest level, one can break through all laws with a single force."

  Rumble! More thunderbolts poured down, forming an ocean of thunderbolts. Huang Xiaoyou was swimming freely in this ocean, as if he were a creature born to be in this ocean.

  "Not enough, not enough, come more, let me comprehend the truth of power, Great Devouring Technique, fully devour the Thunder Tribulation's power, Great Bloodline Technique, fully transform my blood and flesh, Broken Law Divine Eyes, fully absorb the balanced tribulation force, Power, come!" Huang Xiaoyou's dragon body had transformed, turning into a light gold color, becoming a 100,000-zhang-long five-clawed golden dragon. He let out a mighty roar towards the sky, as if declaring war on the Thunder Tribulation.

  Rumble! Crack! The ruthless thunderbolts seemed to have a mind of their own, as countless thunder dragons continuously devoured each other, transforming into even more powerful thunder dragons that charged towards Huang Xiaoyou.

  "Heavenly Tribulation, are you kidding me? So gentle, huh? No way, why is my Yuan Shen cultivation constantly falling?! Dammit, can't I cultivate both body and spirit?! What kind of logic is this?! Where's Pangu?! What path did Pangu cultivate that allowed his physical body to open up the heavens and earth, while his Yuan Shen could still achieve threefold enlightenment as a saint?! Screw you! If you're going to make my Yuan Shen cultivation fall, then let it fall completely!"

  Huang Xiaoyao summoned a Golden Dragon to swing its tail, and his body directly entered the clouds, bathing in the ocean of thunderbolts.

  Boom! Boom! Boom! The continuous explosion sounds rose, and Huang Xiaoyao even stirred the cloud layer into a chaotic mess.

  Qianqiu Mengdie's eyes widened in shock, while Xuan Kong Xuan Ling was also wide-eyed, full of stars, and admiring to the point of being unable to move.

  Huang Xiaoyao swam freely in the clouds, and he finally had a deeper understanding of his power. He finally saw the true face of the Balance Tribulation, and he saw that the flow of power in his flesh was incredibly mysterious and profound. He finally saw why his Yuan Shen's cultivation was constantly falling, it turned out that the power of his Yuan Shen was constantly flowing into the Broken Law Divine Eyes, allowing the Broken Law Divine Eyes to constantly evolve.

  The transformation of the Broken Law God's eyes allowed him to increasingly strengthen his control over the laws, and the Great Devouring Technique and the Great Bloodline Technique became as easy to use as if they were an extension of his own hands.

  "Am I destined to never become an immortal? Am I also unable to cultivate the Great Dao of Hong Jun? Never mind, one step at a time. For now, it's not bad. My physical strength is incredibly powerful. If I were to encounter that Golden Dragon from last time again, I could burst him with one punch. Moreover, my Broken Law Divine Eyes have undergone changes, and in the future, I can continue to grow stronger. This way, my control over the laws will become even more formidable. Additionally, by absorbing blood, I can transform into different spiritual bodies, controlling various spiritual abilities."

  "Now that I have the cultivation method, it's time to give this technique a name. Everything originated from the Great Devouring Technique and the Great Blood Refining Technique. The Great Devouring Technique refines blood, while the Great Blood Refining Technique transforms blood vessels and flesh. And with the help of the Breaking Law Divine Eyes, I can control everything more accurately. Everything originates from blood, and the aftermath of devouring blood needs to be refined through the balancing force of the Heavenly Tribulation. Blood and tribulation... let's call it the 'Ten Thousand Blood Secret Classic' then! The path of blood is vast and profound, with 'ten thousand' implying infinity, implying an infinite number of heavenly tribulations, allowing my flesh body to evolve infinitely. Hmm? Why does this seem so similar to Pangu's cultivation method? Pangu transformed his flesh into a world, becoming countless living beings, and countless living beings helped him comprehend the Dao at the same time. And I... first used blood, also transforming into countless living beings, but the origin is still my flesh body. I use my flesh body as the universe... indeed, the great Dao returns to one, with similarities and differences being minor!"

  At this moment, Huang Xiaoyao seemed like a sage, suddenly enlightened!

  The heavenly calamity has finally passed, the 800-mile sandy land of the Flowing Sand River is left with a legend that killed itself and became a demon, and the heavenly punishment was eliminated, making all living beings restrain their own arrogance and invincibility!

  "Heh heh, the primordial spirit that has been cultivated for countless years has returned to its former state. Look at this, the affairs of the world are indeed unpredictable. Only a pure soul remains. Autumn Dream, let's go, one million miles ahead is the endless Eastern Sea." Huang Xiaoyao transformed into human form, with white hair, a handsome face, a sturdy and even physique, peach blossom eyes, and a hint of a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth.

  "Yes! Master!" Qiu Meng said, trembling with fear. After seeing Huang Xiaoyou's way of crossing the calamity, she finally resigned herself to her fate and no longer had any thoughts of escaping. Instead, she thought about Huang Xiaoyou's words: "One day, I might just make you a saint."

  However, Huang Xiaoyao did not notice that his soul, although without any cultivation, had become somewhat different after being refined through the heavenly tribulation, becoming more pure. The soul, the three souls and seven spirits, who can clearly explain the great mystery of the Tao?

  Soar at high speed and enjoy the infinite scenery! The vast and endless East China Sea is in sight!

  What a sight it was, countless mirages, countless islands, countless playful giant beasts, countless divine powers overturning the seas, were they mirages or the ancient giant's backbone?

  No one knew, but now someone has gone to explore. A colorful butterfly flew over the endless majestic mountains, flew over the endless plains and wasteland, flew over the endless rivers and lakes, and finally arrived at the heart's original hope - the East Sea.

  "Ah, it's truly shocking. The ocean of my past life is just a lake compared to this. What is that? Is the hippopotamus really that big? Geez, a body ten thousand zhang long, how much meat would that be? Hmm, seems like it's not a hippopotamus, but rather a giant fish with a horse head. Okay, I was wrong. Let go, let go, Nianian, you're getting more and more mischievous. Don't learn from Xuankong Xuanling, be a good girl." Huang Xiaoyao hugged Nianian tightly and kissed her fiercely.

  This is caring for children, isn't it evil! Okay, who made her so cute!

  "Autumn dreams, where did you fly to? There's a huge island over there, filled with spiritual energy. It must be a spiritual island, and it's definitely giving birth to spiritual treasures! Haha, look at me, I've been so bad at being the master for so long, not giving you guys any spiritual treasures." said Huang Xiaoyao.

  "Who told you to hit so hard last time, one punch after another and those weapons exploded, that's tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, although Lingbao is rare." Qiu Meng said.

  "Hehe, who made them so fragile, and at that time they were possessed by the devil, who would still care about those treasures?" Huang Xiaoyao was heartbroken for those treasures.

  "We're here!"

  This place is already several tens of thousands of miles away from the vast continent, and this island is the largest one within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles. It is several thousand miles in circumference, with a high mountain at its center, shaped like a giant turtle lying down, extremely mysterious and extraordinary.

  Above are tall trees, various rare fruit trees, countless crystal-clear lakes, and lakes full of colorful flowers. There are also countless stone mountains, emitting a subtle glow, as if life itself.

  The towering giant turtle mountain, with a summit like the mouth of a giant turtle, is deep and mysterious, with an aura of life emanating from its mouth, attracting the exploration of living beings.

  "The wonders of creation indeed cannot be explained by ordinary theories. Let's go take a look at the island, which is thousands of miles in circumference, and see if there are any good spiritual medicines or spiritual roots." said Huang Xiaoyao.

  After searching the island, Huang Xiaoyao didn't find the Lingbao, but instead found a few Xiantian Linggen.

  Congenital Water Spirit Tree, water attribute spirit root, bears fruit once every 800 years. The fruit is shaped like a water droplet and contains dense water spirit energy. It has the effect of cleansing the flesh and eating one increases magical power by 180 years.

  Congenital Sea Bamboo, only lives on the ocean, is a rare congenital spiritual root, has the effect of washing the soul, although not as good as the top-grade spiritual root Congenital Bitter Bamboo, but also a must-plant spiritual root in the cave.

  Padauk, ordinary efficacy.

  "Ah, the Pre-Heaven Spirit Fruit is indeed rare, or most of them haven't been born yet. Never mind, getting a few Spirit Roots is good too. Hmm, that cave is mysterious, maybe there are some ancient beasts inside. Let's go in and take a look. Cultivating the 'Million Blood Secret Manual', the best blood is from divine beasts and ancient beasts."

  "Brother, I want to eat water caltrop." Niu Niu said with her mouth watering.

  Originally, the Water Spirit Fruit had not yet borne fruit, but after being placed in the Heavenly Spirit Diagram, in just a short period of time outside, the spirit fruit inside had already borne fruit. Moreover, the Heavenly Spirit Diagram was crazily absorbing the external Water Spirit Energy, incredibly mysterious and extraordinary.

  "Here you go! Eat slowly, eating too much won't have any effect, you're a innate spiritual being, there's no impurities in your physical body." Huang Xiaoyao pinched Niu Niu's face and then took out several water spirit fruits to distribute to Xuan Kong and Xuan Ling.

  Huang Xiaoyao walked to the entrance of the giant turtle mountain cave, gazing at the deep and bottomless huge cave. His eyes emitted a faint glow, and a clear scene appeared in his mind. The entrance was curved and winding, with a sphere like a star ball, emitting infinite spiritual energy. There was an elliptical red object, emitting infinite heat, and some unclear gigantic objects. Moreover, at the depths of the entrance, there was a pool of water, emitting a blue light that made one's heart skip a beat.

  "Huh? What's with the internal organs that look like a monster's, and that pool of water, it looks just like a monster's stomach. No good, let's fly out." As soon as Huang Xiaoyou finished speaking, a strong suction force pulled them in, and Mount Giant Turtle shook violently, erasing any sign of the entrance.

  But a giant turtle with an eye as big as a planet stood up, causing the island to shake twice.

  Ahh!

  The seawater rose in a ten-thousand-meter giant wave. Those sea monsters seemed to be sucked up by an attractive force, flying towards the giant turtle's huge mouth one after another.
