Chapter 1333: Chapter 1334: Minor Anti-Addiction Mechanism

Li Xiaobai put the small wooden dog aside, waving the longsword in his hand, intricately carving once more onto a section of wood.

This time he chose Ji Wuqing, these two characters have been following him from the start, he’s had the most contact with them and they’re both not human, relatively speaking, they’re easier to manage.

A few streaks of sword light sprinkled down, sketching out a little grass chicken on the wood block, carving along the grain, it took only minutes to carve out a small yellow chick.

With the System, he could freely control the intensity of the Demon-Sealing Sword Qi, condensing the sword qi into needles, capable of carving anything, his palm pressing on the chest of the grass chicken statue, layers of white light spilled from his body, infusing into the statue.

Touching it again, another layer of white light from the Emerald Glaze Body was infused, but looking at the situation, it seemed like a bottomless pit, no matter how much Power of Faith was filled, it roused no waves.

Temporarily putting it aside, the Power of Faith accumulated inside the Emerald Glaze Body was ultimately limited, not enough to establish an image; to truly create faith statues akin to Buddhist Pagodas that accept worship from all beings isn’t an overnight effort, these things need to accumulate faith themselves, as long as the beings of the world acknowledge and worship, if they are not convinced in their hearts, then worshipping would be in vain.

“Regardless of whether it’s useful or not, just carve away.”

Li Xiaobai muttered to himself, the longsword in his hand dancing up and down, whittling pieces of wood into various wooden humanoid statues, the old beggar, several Senior Brothers and Sisters, Sect Master Ying Diao, Xiao Lao Di, Yitilou, Yan Zuzi, Liuren, Lu Yifa…

He wants to carve out all the beings he’s familiar with; what the true purpose of establishing images, he doesn’t know, but the Power of Faith might be able to grant new life to people–this conclusion is agreed upon by all clones.

The carving skill is poor, but there is a hint of spirit in it; overall, he’s quite satisfied.

His fingers brushed over these statues one by one, streaks of white light seeped out from within him, making Li Xiaobai feel much lighter, as if his whole body became a lot more translucent!

Every statue had been imbued with the Power of Faith, the accumulated Power of Faith in the Emerald Glaze Body was completely consumed.

The entire secret chamber was crammed full of statues, all of them unmistakable cultivators.

What the actual use of establishing images was, Li Xiaobai still hadn’t figured out, but it’s said that when the Power of Faith is accumulated to a certain realm, it can have miraculous effects, of this there is no doubt.

“No matter the use, let’s set them up first.”

Li Xiaobai muttered to himself.

If all these people were to die out in the future, wouldn’t these wooden carvings he made then have their use?

“That doesn’t sound too nice to say, but setting up a tombstone while still alive isn’t a rare occurrence either.”

Thinking so, Li Xiaobai casually picked up another piece of wood and started to carve.

He wanted to take this opportunity to carve every cultivator he could think of, setting up an image for all of them.

At the same time, in the outside world.

In the Southern Continent, Blood Demon Sect.

Outside, dozens of cultivators were lurking stealthily, peeking and peering inside.

All of these were Sect Disciples sent out by various Super Sect forces, following Li Xiaobai’s request to start moving into the Blood Demon Sect to gather internal intelligence.

Chen Yuan led a small team from the Sword Sect at the very front, swaggeringly entering the Blood Demon Sect.

“Keep up, what can you see lingering outside?”

“Now that Blood Demon Sect has only the Blood God Child left, with the sect entirely annihilated, what’s there to fear? If he doesn’t dare come out, should he show his face, my Brother Li will extinguish him immediately!”

“Follow me. Let’s search every nook and cranny, uncover every secret matter they’ve hidden!”

Chen Yuan’s expression was indifferent as he sternly reprimanded the numerous cultivator disciples behind him.

These disciples from the Super Sect were all cowards, reaching the doorstep but only daring to peep from the outside. What’s the use? If they truly wanted to kill you, distance would not be an issue, it’d be the same inside or out.

The other cultivators, seeing no other option, could only reluctantly follow and enter the valley. Originally, they wanted to feign an effort, only looking from the outside and maybe casting a few sword beams inward to show that they did indeed scout the area. But now with the steward of the Sword Sect’s Second Peak present, no pretense was tolerated, and they had to truly search the place, hoping that the Blood God Child hadn’t hidden within the Blood Demon Sect but instead had fled to some other secretive location.

Within the Blood Demon Sect, Chen Yuan led the group, house by house they searched, but came up empty-handed. Although they collected many cultivation techniques and scriptures, no secrets were uncovered.

“It seems there are no traces of Blood Demon Sect cultivators here. That Sect Master, the Blood God Child, must have fled from here to another region to hide.”

One cultivator spoke, trying to persuade Chen Yuan to quickly leave this place of trouble.

“What’s the rush? I’ve heard that the Blood Demon Sect has a Blood Pool specially intended for the cultivation of Saint Heirs and Divine Children. The Blood Qi within it is terrifying and boundless, a gem of this world, and one of the enduring foundations that has kept the Blood Demon Sect prosperous through the ages!”

Chen Yuan said lightly, narrowing his eyes. Such a treasure would be a waste left in the dilapidated sect; if it could be moved back to the Sword Sect’s Second Peak, it would bring considerable benefits to the Sect Disciples.

Although the bathhouse could indeed increase one’s cultivation level, it did little to enhance other qualities of the cultivators. The Blood Pool, on the other hand, would be perfect for providing Blood Qi to the Sect Disciples.

“Go to the core area of the Blood Demon Sect, and find that Blood Pool!”

With his Longsword in hand, Chen Yuan pointed forward, and a heaven-piercing Sword Qi burst forth, aiming straight at the core area.

The cultivators behind him split into several teams, cautiously progressing toward the area indicated by the sword beam, starting their exploration. They were reluctant, but if Brother Li knew they were loafing, they’d probably fare no better than encountering the Blood God Child himself.

For the sake of their own lives, they had to follow Chen Yuan’s orders, as he was here to supervise them and strictly prevent any trickery.

“Report, Senior Brother Chen, we’ve discovered the Blood Demon Sect’s Scripture Pavilion, with its cultivation techniques still intact. Should we take them with us?”

The Sword Sect’s disciples quickly made a discovery. Although the Blood Demon Sect was emptied, it seemed that its Sect Disciples had left in a hurry without taking the valuable items from the sect with them. Perhaps no one expected that besides the Sect Master, the Blood God Child, not a single person would return alive from this trip to the Western Continent, thus everything was left intact within the Blood Demon Sect.

“Do you even need to ask? Pack everything and take it all with us!”

“Lead the way ahead!”

Chen Yuan’s eyes lit up. Even if they couldn’t uncover the secrets of the Blood Demon Sect, it was still great to loot its resources. As the head of the Demon Path, the treasures within the sect were bound to be numerous, and this Scripture Pavilion was a gold mine.

Quickly, everyone arrived inside the Scripture Pavilion. The formations and restrictions here had lost their effectiveness due to the previous bombardment by Godzilla, allowing them to freely ascend to the higher floors.

Chen Yuan casually picked up a scripture and looked it over. The expression on his face showed some excitement; were the Blood Demon Sect’s restrictions on their Cultivation Techniques so many?

The technique was named “The Carnal Scripture,” which in itself wasn’t anything special. However, a line of small print was written below the title:

“This scripture is a cultivation technique to prevent addiction among minors; those under eighteen years of age must not practice it without authorization. Violators bear the consequences.”
