Chen Zhou quickly tried it, and sure enough, his meridians were much clearer, and his true energy flowed much faster, which undoubtedly accelerated the time it took for him to set up the formation.
Chen Zhou is now confident that he can set up two formations in an instant, thanks to the increased speed at which his true energy is transported within his body.
“That’s true.” Chen Zhou nodded slowly and said.
“That’s it. The mysterious person’s race is the largest race in the West, and they are the rulers of the West. Our sect is under their control, and we are all ruled by them. You people from the North and South call them vampires,” Ji Lanying said, enunciating each word clearly.
When Chen Zhou heard the name again, he paused noticeably. He hadn't expected that this race actually existed in this world. He had only ever seen this race in TV dramas in his previous life.
“They don’t cultivate true qi, but blood qi,” Ji Lanying continued.
"So they have a unique need for human blood and energy. The reason he captured the three of us is because we are cultivators, so our blood and energy are abundant. After I met him, I told him our identities. We in the West have a clear rule that since our sect acknowledges our subordination to their race, people of their race cannot absorb the blood and energy of people from our sect. Then, in order to verify who we are, he extracted our souls," Ji Lanying explained.
In this way, everything is connected, and Chen Zhou finally understands. It seems that this race is indeed somewhat troublesome, which means that the mysterious person's race is the overlord of the West.
Chen Zhou doesn't yet know the extent of the West's strength, but judging from the strength of Ji Lanying and the other two, as well as the mysterious man, their strength is definitely not lacking.
It's probably even higher than the combined total of the North and South.
"I see. So there's no way to eliminate this so-called Blood Demon Seed?" Chen Zhou asked with trepidation, still harboring some reservations about it.
“I have no way to eliminate it, nor does our sect. That race has always been the overlord of the West and has always been warlike. Their blood energy increases extremely slowly, and their lifespan is extremely long, so they place great importance on their mental state during cultivation. Their method of cultivating their mental state is to constantly find opponents to use as stepping stones so that they can climb higher! Therefore, their mental state is more stable,” Ji Lanying said slowly.
Chen Zhou nodded. He had learned all this from the mysterious man's words. His purpose was clear: he wanted to improve his cultivation level so that he could become his opponent.
"So, someone from your sect has also been targeted by their race?" Chen Zhou asked after thinking for a moment. Ji Lanying had just mentioned that someone in his sect had been infected with the Blood Demon Seed.
"No. Everyone in our sect above the Golden Core realm has been implanted with this Blood Demon Seed. Our sect elders have tried every method to remove it, but to no avail. This Blood Demon Seed is a natural skill of the vampire race, practically impossible to erase. Once planted, it's connected to your soul, and completely removing it will inevitably affect your soul," Ji Lanying said calmly. Her sect members were already quite used to this Blood Demon Seed.
"Why do all the people in your sect who are at the Golden Core stage or above have to have the Blood Demon Seed implanted?" Chen Zhou asked, puzzled.
Is he going to be used as a stepping stone for challenges, just like Chen Zhou?
Ji Lanying immediately spoke up, clearly indicating that Chen Zhou had misunderstood.
"No, every person in a sect that chooses to be affiliated with their race and whose strength exceeds the Golden Core realm must have a Blood Demon Seed implanted in them. This makes it easier for them to manage the affiliated sects."
Hearing this, Chen Zhou couldn't help but sigh. This was equivalent to the fact that the whereabouts of all the powerful figures in their affiliated sects had been controlled by them. If they had any rebellious intentions, they would probably be discovered by the vampire race very soon.
This is equivalent to having firm control over all affiliated sects.
This method was so ingenious that it solidified the race's dominant position in the West.
"Hmph! This little girl is indeed a little girl. Getting rid of this thing is easy for her, isn't it?" Ren Lao suddenly said in Chen Zhou's mind at this moment. Hearing Ren Lao's words, Chen Zhou was stunned. What was Ren Lao saying? Did Ren Lao have a way?
Chen Zhou immediately entered his spiritual world and humbly asked Elder Ren, "Elder Ren, do you have any ideas?"
In Chen Zhou's mental world, Old Man Ren lay there, looking very old and frail. At that moment, Chen Zhou unexpectedly discovered that Old Man Ren was lying on a recliner, rocking gently, looking very comfortable.
Why is there an extra reclining chair?
A question inevitably arose in Chen Zhou's mind: the entire recliner was blue, and it looked as if it had been conjured by Chen Zhou's spiritual power. It seemed that Elder Ren had used his spiritual power in the spiritual world to conjure up a recliner.
Previously, Chen Zhou's mental power would never have had this effect. However, as Chen Zhou's strength and physical abilities improved, his mental power also grew stronger. That's why Elder Ren was able to use Chen Zhou's mental power to conjure a reclining chair, so that Elder Ren wouldn't have to lie in such a disheveled state in the mental world.
"Is that the look you're giving me when you're asking for advice? What's with that look? You've got your eye on this recliner? You need to improve your mental power. It makes me more comfortable in my mental world. Right now, with your mental power, you can only conjure up a broken recliner, and a damaged one at that." As he spoke, Elder Ren revealed the back of the recliner. It turned out that the backrest was only half there, not complete.
