Chapter 1177 Xuanyu 33
"It went very smoothly," Tan You reassured her: "I have collected all the divine beast bloodlines in the Ruins of the Gods. Once the bloodlines are complete, you will be pure-blooded divine beasts."
Jin Han touched the back of her hand: "It must have been tough, right? I heard that the spiritual energy inside is cut off, and you're quite weak."
Tan You raised an eyebrow: "I just can't use spiritual energy, but I can use tools. I made a little car myself, it wasn't as difficult as you think."
This Ruins of the Gods is a huge bug; once inside, Tan You couldn't even maintain her human form. Luckily, she entered from a good location, and Tan You made a makeshift vehicle out of whatever materials were available, thus preserving the original owner's battle-damaged fishtail.
On this trip, Tan You not only obtained the bloodlines of many divine beasts, but her greatest gain was obtaining the essence blood of the Xuanwei Merman, as well as the inherited memories of the Xuanwei Merman.
After fully digesting this inherited memory, Tan You realized that she had stepped into a huge conspiracy.
With Tan You's return, Biluo Ridge became incredibly lively. Since she could only use the Xuanwei Mermaid's essence blood after her ascension, Tan You wasn't in a hurry and began replenishing the bloodlines of the little demon beasts in her territory.
For a long time, the sky above Biluo Ridge was filled with dark clouds and lightning. Such a scene naturally aroused speculation from the outside world.
The powerful demons who had their bloodlines purified by Tan You were alerted by the news and quickly found Biluo Ridge.
Hearing that Tan You possesses the essence of a divine beast, these powerful demons were green with envy. Pure-blooded demon beasts and divine beasts are definitely worlds apart; who wouldn't want to become a pure-blooded divine beast?
They've cultivated diligently for so many years, and now they're nothing more than pure-blooded demon beasts. But in Tan You's Biluo Ridge, at a glance, all the beasts are pure-blooded divine beasts.
Even knowing that Tan You had grand schemes, these great demons were now eager to join Biluo Ridge, all for the sake of the divine beast's essence blood.
Tan You wasn't doing charity: "There are only a limited number of divine beast essence blood samples, and I definitely need to prioritize my own people from Biluo Ridge. Besides, you're all going to ascend to immortality, so why are you fixated on what I have?"
"Without the bloodline of divine beasts, everyone stops cultivating?"
Mo Long's eyes were full of envy: "That's true, but who doesn't want to become a pure-blooded divine dragon? Even though I've purified my bloodline, I still feel that the tribulation of ascension is difficult to overcome."
Tan You stared at Mo Long, her fingers tracing patterns on the chessboard: "Your feeling is right. In what I saw, your chances of successfully transcending the tribulation are less than one in ten."
Mo Long was startled: "Such a low probability?"
"Is there any way?"
“Of course there are solutions,” Tan You said, resting her chin on her hand. “But I’m not a charity. If you want me to help, what price are you willing to pay?”
Mo Long was straightforward: "Just tell me what you're interested in, as long as I can do it."
Tan You pondered for a moment: "I really don't want anything in the lower realm; everything I want is in the upper realm."
Mo Long blinked: "Then I'll help you after I ascend?"
"Okay, but you need to sign a contract with me." Tan You wasn't really a saint; she channeled her Origin Power into her fingertips, and a small contract array quickly appeared in the air.
"If you ascend to heaven, I need you to do something for me in the upper realm: gather as much information as possible about the movements of the Helian family, the Zhongli family, the Nangong family, and the Huangfu family."
"I don't need you to fight on the front lines, just help me gather information."
Mo Long was somewhat stunned: "That's it?"
It thought Tan You would ask it to serve it faithfully, but it turned out that Tan You was just going to the upper realm to gather information?
Tan You chuckled, "Of course, I will personally deal with my enemies. However, it will be several thousand years before I ascend to immortality, and I need eyes in the Upper Realm to keep an eye on these people." The other great demons had already agreed, "That's no problem. Gathering information is not a difficult task."
Moreover, these are all things that happen after ascension, and the prerequisite is ascension.
Soon the demons signed their contracts, and Tan You didn't keep them in suspense. A Buddhist scripture soon appeared in her palm.
Mo Long's face scrunched up: "We're not cut out for Buddhism either..."
“I’m not telling you to cultivate Buddhism,” Tan You glanced at it sideways, “This is the Buddhist scripture ‘Reincarnation Sutra.’ It’s easy for demonic beasts to commit murderous acts when they cultivate, often resulting in the blood debt of annihilating their entire clan.”
"Now, through this Buddhist scripture, those who need to be saved can be saved, and those who need to make amends can make amends. Only when all the karmic threads on your bodies are resolved will you have hope of ascending to heaven."
Mo Long grabbed Tan You's hand: "Xuan Yu, you can't just abandon them. You have to help these people to the end..."
Tan You had a headache: "I'll help, okay? Just let go of me first. Do you think everyone is as thick-skinned as you?"
She was a fragile mermaid, but these powerful demons were incredibly resilient.
Jin Han slapped Mo Long's hand, and Mo Long awkwardly withdrew his hand. He glanced at Tan You's hand, which was already bruised and purple, and said, "I didn't know you were so weak."
Jin Han was about to glare when Tan You pulled her back: "The Xuanwei Merfolk are not known for their fighting skills, unlike the Dragon Clan who are natural-born fighting experts."
She was truly calm and had long accepted the situation. What else could she do? Change the client? Moreover, after obtaining the inherited memories of the Xuanwei Merfolk, even knowing that she had stepped into this enormous conspiracy, Tan You was determined to keep going.
As for those who plotted against her... Tan You clenched her fist, she would eliminate them one by one!
There are only a dozen or so small demon beasts left in Biluo Ridge. After fusing with the bloodline of divine beasts, their aptitude has been further improved, and their cultivation speed is now incomparable to what it used to be.
When Tan You traveled with the great demons to settle their karmic debts, she also brought them along. Seeing how much their predecessors had sacrificed to settle their karmic debts, these little demons became even more cautious about cultivation.
They firmly remembered the principle of "avoid killing unless absolutely necessary."
While settling karmic debts in various places, the number of little demon beasts in Biluo Ridge increased. Previously, Tan You had found all the beautiful, strong, and tragic ones, but the later little demon beasts were almost all half-demons. They had simply shed their cultivator bloodlines and become little demon beasts.
Another century has passed, and Biluo Ridge, which was once home to only a handful of small creatures, has now grown into a significant place. The originally scarce plant spirits have, after hundreds of years of nurturing and enlightenment, now number in the hundreds.
Spiritual plants were everywhere, and monsters roamed the land.
Tan You poured Mo Long a cup of tea: "Have you made up your mind?"
Mo Long took a deep breath: "I've made up my mind. We can't delay any longer."
Tan You moved the chess pieces around: "Don't worry, I think you have an 80% chance now. As for the remaining 20%, it depends on how lucky you are."
Mo Long was overjoyed: "I came here today to find you. If there was a 60% chance, I would fight to the death. Now that there is an 80% chance, I have no more worries."
Tan You chuckled: "You trust me that much?"
