The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 939 The Path of Refinement, Myriad Spirits Blood Array

Lin Chen stepped out of the house and saw the three demons in the courtyard. After half a year of baptism by dragon blood and repeated periods of dormancy and evolution, they were completely different from before.

The Snow Dragon Leopard King was much larger, with a height of at least fifteen meters, a body length of at least thirty meters, and a weight of at least a hundred tons. Even more outrageous was that it had a pair of small, blood-red horns growing on its head.

Bifang's size didn't change much, but its eyes turned golden-red, like gold shining in red agate, and its feathers became more blood-red, looking like burning flames.

All of the vines of the vine demon Mei Nu changed color, with bright green interspersed with striking crimson streaks, giving them a more bloody feel.

The three demons have all greatly improved their strength. Bifang's background speaks for itself. She has now reached the mid-stage of the True Form realm. Even the flames she spews have changed from golden yellow to blue-green, with the temperature increasing significantly and the power naturally increasing as well.

The vine demon was originally at the peak of the Transformation Realm, with strength comparable to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. However, it was struck back to the Nascent Soul Realm by its senior sister. Under Lin Chen's guidance, it has now successfully broken through the Transformation Realm and reached the early stage of the True Body Realm.

Like the Vine Demon, the Snow Dragon Leopard King also broke through and entered the early stage of true form.

Furthermore, because they absorbed the blood of the true dragon, their combat power is much stronger than other demonic beasts or cultivators of the same realm, just like how Lin Chen's Nascent Soul easily defeated other Nascent Soul cultivators.

Lin Chen was very satisfied.

This time, entering the True Dragon Secret Realm, he seemed to have only obtained half a pool of blood, a sword, and a few decent magic weapons, and nothing else. However, when you really think about it, it has greatly improved Lin Chen's overall combat power.

Lin Chen went to visit his mother and found that she had absorbed the true dragon blood he had left her and had already entered the Golden Core Realm. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Once you reach the Golden Core Realm, your lifespan increases significantly, giving you more time to improve your strength.

Lin Chen spent some more time studying the Shrinking Earth into an Inch and the Human Emperor's Heavenly Scroll, but apart from his speed increasing slightly due to his improved strength, he gained nothing.

Although Lin Chen's strength has increased significantly, he is still at the Nascent Soul stage and there has been no fundamental change.

Lin Chen was studying the Human Emperor Scripture when a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Mr. Lin, are you there?"

Lin Chen put away the Human Emperor Scripture and walked to the door. He found a middle-aged man standing there. The man was tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and a square face. He exuded an air of authority. Behind the man stood Su Mubai, dressed in white.

Yue Shanhe, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?

Lin Chen opened the courtyard's protective barrier and stepped out: "Sect Master Yue."

Yue Shanhe cupped his hands in greeting: "Hello, Mr. Lin. I apologize for disturbing you." Lin Chen smiled and said: "Sect Leader Yue, you're too kind. What can I do for you?"

Yue Shanhe nodded: "I'd like to ask, do you know where the cave master has gone?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "He left half a year ago, probably to gather herbs, but I don't know exactly where."

Yue Shanhe frowned: "Then, do you know the whereabouts of your three senior brothers and sisters?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "When I came back, my third senior sister was not there. I don't know where she went. As for my two senior brothers, they always travel all over the world, so I know even less about them."

Yue Shanhe's face immediately fell in disappointment: "That's troublesome."

Lin Chen asked, "What happened? Why do we need to find them?"

Yue Shanhe said in a deep voice, "Among the seven cities under my Wanjian Sect, Kongyuan City was destroyed ten days ago. Every single life in the city was wiped out. According to the news, they may have been completely refined by the Wanling Blood Array..."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "Everyone's dead?"

"Yes, the entire city had at least 400,000 people, including thousands of cultivators. None of them survived; they were all reduced to bones, their flesh and blood vanished without a trace."

Yue Shanhe's expression was solemn: "The person in charge of our sect stationed in the nearby city went to check and found that there were remnants of an array around the city. Based on the traces left behind, we speculate that it is the ancient evil array, the Myriad Spirits Blood Array."

Lin Chen asked, "I haven't been in the cultivation world for long and I don't know much. Sect Master Yue, could you tell me what this Myriad Spirits Blood Array is all about?"

Yue Shanhe replied, “There are countless paths to cultivation, such as the path of Qi cultivation, the path of alchemy, the path of body refinement, and so on. In ancient times, there was a heretical sect that cultivated the path of refining.”

"The Way of Refining, simply put, is to refine demonic beasts or humans, absorb their blood essence, and then refine it into blood pills. Consuming blood pills can rapidly increase one's strength."

"The Refining Path is too evil. Furthermore, when a sect attempted to refine it, they accidentally refined a disciple of a powerful figure. Enraged, that powerful figure personally gathered many strong individuals and completely annihilated the evil sect, destroying the Refining Path's techniques. As a result, the Refining Path was lost for a time."

"But unexpectedly, after such a long period of time, the Dao of Refinement has reappeared, and it is even more ruthless, sacrificing and refining the entire population of the city..."

Blood sacrifice?
Lin Chen subconsciously recalled the blood-red array in the secret realm. Wasn't that array also used to sacrifice countless demonic beasts to give the soul of the true dragon life force and refine its body?

Could that formation in the secret realm be the Myriad Spirits Blood Formation?
