Dragon King Hall's Legend

Chapter 1961: Mysterious Gate of Life and Death! Blood Essence Transformation! Complete Recovery from Injuries!

"Mysterious Gate of Life and Death..."

Mu Jinyu looked at the black and white shackles within his body, murmuring softly.

Soon, he noticed that the Mysterious Gate of Life and Death within his body had vanished.

He guessed he might only see this Mysterious Gate of Life and Death again when he achieves another breakthrough?

"Whew..."

Exhaling lightly, Mu Jinyu quickly regained his composure and began to operate the subsequent Cultivation Technique taught by Ji Wudao to stabilize his cultivation in the Life and Death Realm.

The subsequent Cultivation Technique taught by Ji Wudao, although not the true original version of the Humanity Path Sutra, had a high compatibility with Mu Jinyu’s technique and was suitable for use for the time being.

Stabilizing the realm didn’t take long; soon Mu Jinyu thoroughly consolidated his cultivation in the First Layer of the Life-and-Death Realm.

"Although my cultivation is stable, my injuries are still quite severe; I need to start healing..."

After stabilizing his cultivation, Mu Jinyu opened his eyes and looked at the terrifying injury all over his body, whispering weakly.

Then, he began to mobilize his Blood Essence, circulating it throughout his body to heal himself.

But soon, Mu Jinyu furrowed his brows and opened his eyes, sensing something amiss.

His cultivation had improved, his strength increased, but the healing effect of the Blood Essence was worse than before.

Down by about half, even.

This felt incredible and puzzling to him.

How could this be?

"Hmm?"

Reflecting on the peculiarities of the Life and Death Realm, Mu Jinyu pondered and murmured: "It seemed... during the Life and Death Realm, it was said that as long as one is not dead, even a single drop of blood can regenerate, but that requires mastering an extremely profound Life and Death Law, right?"

"Besides, when I was merely in the Divinity Transformation Realm, facing those cultivators in the Life and Death Realm within the Earth Emperor Relic was extremely difficult; those foreign race cultivators in the Life and Death Realm I injured had impressive healing effectiveness, shouldn’t it be like mine..."

Mu Jinyu felt a deep, puzzling curiosity.

He speculated that their fast healing speed might truly rely on the Life and Death Law instead of Elemental Force?

If that were the case, wouldn’t his breakthrough to the Life and Death Realm be a significant weakening?

"No!"

"That shouldn’t be the case, I need to study it carefully!"

Mu Jinyu didn’t believe his Life and Death Realm would be inferior to others; his gaze became steadfast and stubborn as he closed his eyes again, examining the Blood Essence slowly circulating within his body.

He observed a drastic difference in his current Blood Essence from before.

His original Blood Essence was vibrant red like a red gem, indistinguishable from freshly spilled blood.

But now, the color of his Blood Essence had changed significantly.

No longer so vibrant red.

Instead, it appeared as a dark red.

Like blood left out to dry, losing its freshness.

"This..."

Observing the change in his Blood Essence, Mu Jinyu became increasingly puzzled, then recalling the transformation he experienced during the breakthrough, his eyes brightened, vaguely understanding the situation.

"Here!!"

Following this, Mu Jinyu softly exclaimed, attempting to activate the Blood Essence.

Finally, his Blood Essence suddenly emitted a dim white light and returned to its vibrant red color.

"Exactly..."

Seeing the change in the Blood Essence, Mu Jinyu felt pleased inside and a smile spread across his face.

His guesses were indeed correct, and the facts confirmed it.

Upon breaking through to the Life and Death Realm, the balanced state of Life and Death Dual Qi within his body converged into the Blood Essence, ultimately merging with it.

The reason the Blood Essence turned that dark red color, appearing insipid, even somewhat rotten, was due to his inadvertent adjustment transforming the Blood Essence into Death’s Blood Element.

Therefore, the healing effectiveness of such Blood Essence was extremely poor, even inferior to the usefulness of his Blood Essence during his Void Breaking Realm cultivation.

And this was natural; after all, it was suffused with dense Deadly Qi, a poor healer, surely!

Now, realizing this, he suppressed the Deadly Qi within the Blood Essence and elevated the Vital Energy, restoring its effectiveness.

In fact, with the addition of that Vital Energy, the healing effectiveness of his Blood Essence exceeded his expectations.

While Mu Jinyu’s thoughts churned, he didn’t stop the healing process, continuing to circulate the vibrant Blood Essence throughout his body.

"Ah..."

"So comfortable..."

As the Blood Essence circulated through his body, Mu Jinyu couldn’t help but let out moans of contentment.

This feeling was truly comforting.

Just like when he originally felt itchy all over, unable to remove it, completely uncomfortable, but applying some medicine brought immediate effect; the itch vanished, replaced by a cool sensation, extremely pleasant.

On the road seeking a breakthrough, Mu Jinyu was crushed by the terrifying gravity of the Advanced Gravity Training Room until his muscles tore and bones fractured, his body a wreck—such pain far exceeded trivial itchiness.

However, as his Blood Essence circulated, his severe injuries rapidly healed.

Such soothing sensation, how could it be matched by the relief from itchiness?

Soon, within just a few minutes, Mu Jinyu’s injuries were entirely healed.

Restoring him to his full strength.

"Haha..."

Mu Jinyu couldn’t suppress a somewhat delirious laugh.

He won this gamble.

"Hmm..."

Then, Mu Jinyu ceased his laughter, turning his gaze toward the Earth Emperor’s Tome and Riot-Quelling Sword, along with other Magic Treasures tossed to the corner.

His gaze slowly moved, finally stopping on the Riot-Quelling Sword, revealing a hint of gratitude.

If the Riot-Quelling Sword hadn’t resonated wildly to awaken him, he might have lost the optimal breakthrough moment in that hazy state of consciousness, resulting in death.

"Thank you!"

Mu Jinyu sincerely expressed gratitude toward the Riot-Quelling Sword.

"Clang!"

As his voice faded, the Riot-Quelling Sword emitted a clear resonating sound, filled with joy and excitement.

As if saying, "You’re welcome."

"Collect!"

Mu Jinyu, aware that he had been inside the training room for about five minutes from closing the door to now achieving the breakthrough and healing, anticipated Ji Wudao’s prompt entry; hence, without hesitating, he swiftly recollected the Riot-Quelling Sword, Earth Emperor’s Tome, Corpse-Wrapping Cloth, and Qiankun Ring.

After retrieving the Earth Emperor’s Tome, Mu Jinyu released two Divine Plants to return to his Dantian and Sea of Consciousness.

Interestingly, as the Mystical Little Tree and the Three-Leaf Youlian were released, they instinctively emitted some Origin Essence to heal him, but upon noticing his uninjured state, they withdrew the Origin Essence, refusing any wastage.

"Haha..."

Mu Jinyu couldn’t suppress laughter, thanking them for their concern.

Realizing today, these two Divine Plants indeed possess consciousness, they are conscious and care for him.

Subsequently, he explained to them why he put them aside earlier.

Following the explanation, Mu Jinyu noticed the absence of awkwardness between them, presumably because they calmed down?

Mu Jinyu speculated.

"Boom!!"

At this time.

The heavy door lifted suddenly, revealing the corridor of the Outer Gate.

"Jinyu, are you alright?"

As the door opened, Ji Wudao’s anxious voice followed.
