1075: Chapter 279 1075: Chapter 279 Cao Zhen waited another five days and, after seeing Ling Xi and the others’ Eight Nine Mysterious Art advance again, he finally confirmed that there must be a problem with both himself and Xiang Ziyu.
Although his progress in cultivating the Eight Nine Mysterious Art wasn’t as rapid as Xiang Ziyu’s, he was still making progress.
However, once Xiang Ziyu had cultivated the Eight Nine Mysterious Art to the fifth level, Cao Zhen himself made no further progress in his cultivation of the art, and he suspected that Xiang Ziyu was experiencing the same issue.
How come, among so many people, only he and Xiang Ziyu could no longer cultivate the Eight Nine Mysterious Art?
Among all the people, he and Xiang Ziyu shared one thing in common; both of them had reached the limit of the Golden Core Stage.
So, was it because of this reason that he and Xiang Ziyu could no longer continue cultivating the Eight Nine Mysterious Art?
If that were the case, they should have been unable to continue cultivating the Eight Nine Mysterious Art from the start.
Therefore, it couldn’t be this reason.
So, could it have something to do with the physical strength they shared?
Both he and Xiang Ziyu had consumed the same Pills when breaking through; their bodies had been remade during their breakthroughs.
Moreover, because of the Record of Deities and Demons, their physical strength was originally stronger than others.
Therefore, was it because if they continued to cultivate further, their physical strength would exceed the limits of the Golden Core Stage, and the Heavenly Dao would not allow them to cultivate?
It should be so.
But the problem was, he was currently unable to cultivate while others could; it was not possible that just because they could not cultivate, they should bring everyone else with them.
After thinking it over, Cao Zhen simply passed on some of the more unique methods to change one’s aura from the Eight Nine Mysterious Art directly to Xiang Ziyu.
Ten days later, the group finally set off again towards the Boundless Blood Prison.
The main reason was that everyone’s cultivation of the Eight Nine Mysterious Art had been stuck at the fourth level.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t cultivate; they still could, but the progress was slow.
Now that the Eastern Wasteland had begun to connect to the Central Five Provinces, although they couldn’t see the Central Five Provinces, they all knew that the Eastern Wasteland had connected with East Breeze and other places and was likely drifting towards the Central Five Provinces.
Everyone didn’t know how much longer it would take for the Eastern Wasteland to reach the Central Five Provinces.
They decided not to continue cultivating for the time being.
Cultivation could take place at any time; when the Eastern Wasteland connected to the Central Five Provinces, they would surely return to their own Sect, and they could continue to cultivate then.
However, when the Eastern Wasteland connected to the Central Five Provinces, they definitely couldn’t be within the Boundless Blood Prison; otherwise, they would be unable to secure the safety of the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Moreover, everyone felt that the further they went into the Eight Nine Mysterious Art, the slower the cultivation became, which is why they decided to enter the Boundless Blood Prison first.
Now was the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, and their strength was mighty enough; what a rare opportunity this was to delve into the Boundless Blood Prison!
Normally, if they entered the Boundless Blood Prison, they would probably encounter Demonic Beasts of the Earth Immortal Realm before long and would have to flee.
It wasn’t like now.
After Cao Zhen taught the method of changing one’s aura to everyone, the group once again entered the Boundless Blood Prison.
After hunting the Demonic Beasts outside, everyone employed the Eight Nine Mysterious Art to change their auras; with such a change, indeed, countless Demonic Beasts didn’t swarm towards them.
The group also began to move on.
As they proceeded, Cao Zhen still occasionally contacted Yi Sheng, who remained in the Hundred Peaks Sect, to make sure everything was alright.
As the group advanced, they realized the name Boundless Blood Prison was indeed fitting; the place really seemed endless.
As they moved forward, they hardly had to engage with the Demonic Beasts.
When they did encounter them, they could swiftly eliminate them and then quickly change their auras and leave.
Indeed, changing their auras could deceive the Demonic Beasts, but as soon as they took action, their auras would be exposed.
Therefore, after they acted, they rapidly changed their auras again.
The group was among the most elite existences in the Reversal Mini Epoch Period.
They rarely fought and thus moved at an incredible speed.
Yet, a month later, they were still progressing through the Boundless Blood Prison, still unsure of how far the road ahead was.
As they delved deeper, they encountered more and more Demonic Beasts equivalent to those in the Golden Core Stage.
Indeed, a month later, in this area, aside from Golden Core Stage Demonic Beasts, they hardly saw any other types.
However, this area seemed even more desolate.
They could hardly see the situation they encountered upon entering the Boundless Blood Prison, where countless Demonic Beasts gathered together.
“What’s that over there?” someone exclaimed.
While walking, Xiang Ziyu suddenly pointed towards the distance.
In the distance, they could see a blood-red canyon.
At the entrance of the canyon, more than a dozen Demonic Beasts were wandering.
“Do you see these Demonic Beasts?
Don’t they remind you of the Disciples guarding the gate of the large Immortal Sects we humans have?
It’s possible that this canyon houses a Sect of Demonic Beasts.”
Cao Zhen nodded slightly, agreeing that the situation was indeed not normal.
“Let’s go and take a look,” he decided after a moment’s thought, leading the group forward.
Although they could change their auras, they were currently unable to alter their appearances to resemble Demonic Beasts.
After all, the Seventy-Two Transformations were not something they could cultivate at the moment.
