Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1457: Ten Thousand Fetus Blood Spring

Xiao Chen was not shocked at the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady's words; he already expected this.

However, this was all the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said. It was hard to tell if she was hiding anything or not. Based on her expression, she was apparently unwilling to explain further.

This made it very hard to judge. Xiao Chen thought to himself for a while before saying, "Sure, however, you must help me to obtain the Cycle Arts."

"The Cycle Arts?" The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady entered deep thought. Despite thinking for a while, she could not recall anything about the Cycle Arts secret manual.

Just as Xiao Chen showed suspicion on his face, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said, "I finally recall it. That is a Cultivation Technique that my martial grand uncle obtained by chance. However, it seems to be incomplete. Even my martial grand uncle failed to completely cultivate it. Are you sure that is all you want?"

In that case, this was right. It was more or less similar to the information that Xiao Chen obtained. The Cycle Arts was indeed incomplete. One could successfully cultivate it only by having the Cycle Arts, the seven thrones, and the seven different states.

With just the Cycle Arts secret manual, no matter how one cultivated, one would not be able to comprehend the state of cycle.

One needed to comprehend the seven states, refine the seven thrones, and match them with the Cycle Arts to succeed. However, since ancient times, no one managed to collect all seven thrones and obtain the Cycle Arts at the same time. Hence, no one truly managed to cultivate the state of cycle.

"That's right. I only want the Cycle Arts. The other treasures in the Immortal palace have nothing to do with me."

Xiao Chen was decisive, asking only for the Cycle Arts.

"Although the Immortal palace has been nearly emptied out over all this time, it still possesses great treasures. As far as I know, there is a Universe Origin Fruit that just matured."

The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said in a very casual and calm manner, "It is just an incomplete Cycle Arts. If you can help me stop that group of Immortal Cultivators, consider the Universe Origin Fruit as a gift from me as well."

The Universe Origin Fruit?

After hearing Mu Yong mention it, Xiao Chen was naturally interested in it. However, it was secondary to the Cycle Arts.

"I hope that you will keep your promises. However, I have some doubts. The ones that came to this Mirage Immortal Palace are all experts, many of whom are stronger than me. Why did you choose me?"

The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady narrowed her eyes, staring at Xiao Chen. Then, she explained, "Because I cannot figure you out. You are not yet a Martial Emperor, but you already have one thousand strands of Primordial Energy. Your cultivation is equivalent to that of an Eighth Heaven Martial Emperor.

"You are clearly a Martial Cultivator. However, you also are an Immortal Cultivator, even reaching the Nascent Transformation Stage. There are many more secrets that even I cannot figure out."

Xiao Chen was startled by the strength of this woman. With just one look, she managed to figure out so many of his secrets.

"I have one last question. With your strength, why do you still need me to help you?" Xiao Chen's eyes shone brightly as he stared at this woman, trying to get some clues from her expression.

The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady gently shook her head. "There is too much that I cannot explain to you. No matter how strong I am, I cannot do anything to anyone in reality."

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. After pondering for a while, he said, "Very well, I'll accept your explanation for now. I'll make this promise to you. I hope that you will keep yours."

"Come with me."

The illusion disappeared, and the magnificent grand hall turned dilapidated once again. Xiao Chen discovered himself still seated on the damaged throne. It was just that he fell for the other party's illusion without realizing it.

Xiao Chen could not help becoming warier. This woman's Illusion Techniques were too strong, truly incredible.

He leaped up from the throne and landed beside the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady. After that, he followed her through the Immortal palace.

Along the way, they passed many other large halls and stone rooms. With a casual glance, Xiao Chen discovered many treasures protected by strong restrictions.

These treasures had not changed at all, even after millions of years. There were also many skeletons in front of the treasures. They must have died in the restrictions.

This was a spine-chilling sight. Xiao Chen's desire and greed slowly calmed down, his rationality restored.

Every location had a name; there were pill refining pavilions, herb fields, forges, and the many cultivation rooms of the Heavenly Profound Sect seniors.

The many quiet cultivation rooms all had wall carvings where the seniors' Dao still lingered. These had to be what Feng Xiao was seeking.

However, entering was not easy. The cultivation rooms of these elders had many ancient restrictions and traps.

As Xiao Chen traveled further in with the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady, he felt that he was going deeper underground.

After asking, he found that he was right. The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady's corpse was in the deepest level of the Mirage Immortal Palace.

As Xiao Chen went deeper, he felt the cold Qi grow heavier. At the same time, the Immortal Qi became thicker.

This felt very strange. Immortal Qi should make people feel very comfortable. However, the Immortal Qi here felt exceptionally sinister.

Xiao Chen guessed that this had been deliberately done for the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady's cultivation of the Ghost Immortal Dao.

"They are really fast. That group of people already reached the ninth floor."

When the two reached another entrance and the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady saw the broken restriction, her expression changed. This entrance should lead to a deeper level of the Mirage Immortal Palace. Xiao Chen could not help feeling curious.

What did the place where the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady entered closed-door cultivation look like?

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady said, "We cannot enter from here. They will discover us. I'll bring you to another entrance."

Without waiting for Xiao Chen to react, she quickly led him away from there. The two Immortal Venerates were clearly wise and experienced, just based on the restriction they left at the palace doors. It was impossible that they did not leave any backup plans.

Xiao Chen left with the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady. After a while, he followed her to an upper floor.

There was an unremarkable old well in a side hall that had accumulated dust for a long time.

"Open it."

Xiao Chen did as told. Along the way, the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady had given instructions on how to break the many restrictions while Xiao Chen did the physical work.

This was enough to show that the other party was under some kind of limitation and really could not make a move.

"Bang!"

Xiao Chen removed the well lid, and an acrid bloody stench came out. Xiao Chen squinted and looked. It was actually a pool of blood in the well. After the turbid Qi scattered, the blood turned clear and transparent, gaining a feeling of spirituality.

"What is this?" Xiao Chen looked at the somewhat strange blood in the old well that was clearly not ordinary.

The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady recalled past matters, and her expression turned sullen. She said dourly, "This is the Ten Thousand Fetus Blood Spring that I refined back then. Jump down, then. You can swim to the next floor."

The Ten Thousand Fetus Blood Spring! This woman is really vicious. Xiao Chen, you must be more careful, Little Three, the Item Spirit, suddenly warned Xiao Chen from the Three Life Mirror.

What's wrong? Are there some problems with this Ten Thousand Fetus Blood Spring?

I can't explain it clearly now. In any case, just be careful of this woman. Don't get infatuated.

Xiao Chen glanced at the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady. After hesitating for a moment, he jumped in.

The blood spring was incredibly cooling. Xiao Chen focused, held his breath, and continued swimming down.

---

At this moment, Immortal Venerate Ming Yue, Immortal Venerate Tian Yi, and ten-odd Immortal Cultivators were breaking through various restrictions, continuously advancing. Every time they broke a restriction, these Immortal Cultivators would lay down their own restrictions.

At the end of the many restrictions, the ninth underground floor of the Immortal palace finally revealed itself to this group of people.

The ninth floor was an incredibly vast scarlet lake. Countless white flower petals floated on the lake with a lamp flame burning in the center of each one.

A black coffin floated in the middle of the lake amid the white flower petals.

Blood, white flowers, lantern flames, and a coffin with a corpse.

The atmosphere of the entire ninth floor appeared extremely strange. It was empty and barren except for the scarlet lake.

There were also the thousands of white flowers, the inextinguishable lantern flames, and the lone coffin.

"Master, the rumors are true! These flower petals are Void Hell Flowers, and the flames burning on them are Extreme Yang True Flames," one of the Immortal Cultivators exclaimed, unable to restrain his excitement.

Yin and Yang did not mix with each other. However, the Ghost Immortal Dao lingered between Yin and Yang, needing to merge the two.

The Void Hell Flower represented extreme Yin energy. The Extreme Yang True Flame that burned on it was the only Yang-attributed flame that could burn on the Void Hell Flower.

Immortal Venerate Ming Yue looked at the coffin and murmured gently, "This Heavenly Profound Holy Lady was truly excellent. To think that she could even figure out such an exquisite way to merge Yin and Yang! I am truly ashamed of myself. I'm incomparable to her."

As Immortal Venerate Tian Yi looked at the vast scarlet lake water, he sighed, "This pool of blood should be the Ten Thousand Fetus Blood Spring. What an expenditure! Since ancient times, there should not be another person who could do this. Her desire for the Immortal Dao is even greater than ours."

These two were Immortal Venerates, the strongest experts of Immortal Cultivation of this age. As they looked at this pool of blood, they were thoroughly convinced of their inferiority.

If the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady were here, these two would definitely cast aside their dignity, kneel down, and beg the other party to take them in as her disciples.
