Chapter 479.2: The Only Hope
Just as Su Jingzhen’s voice fell, the only leaf swayed again.
The longing from before became even stronger.
Then a pale green light emanated from the leaf, shining on Su Jingzhen’s brow.
In this instant, his consciousness connected with his body.
And at this moment, Su Jingzhen discovered that his consciousness was now divided into two.
While taking care of the consciousness body in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, his main body could also act.
Or perhaps, this was the permission granted to him by this branch.
This allowed his consciousness here to be unrestricted.
And Su Jingzhen was very clear about this meaning.
Giving him this kind of permission was just to let him bleed in, wasn’t it?His heart was pounding with excitement, and he glanced at Bai Suzhen beside him.
He said directly: “Suzhen, no matter what happens later, you don’t need to worry.
Everything is under my control. I’ve already gotten some clues about today’s events.
Just protect me.”
After saying that, a sharp intent came from the black brick in his hand.
The next moment, a large gash was cut open on his right palm again.
He actively pushed, and the blood in his body flowed out like it was free.
Seeing this scene, Bai Suzhen blinked her sapphire blue eyes.
She didn’t quite understand what Su Jingzhen meant.
She watched silently, without saying a word.
As he watched his blood being continuously absorbed by the black brick, Su Jingzhen’s heart became increasingly tense.
Even at this moment, he didn’t care much about the countless starlight that was still crashing into the white light shield above his head.
If he could figure out everything about the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and the black brick.
If the black brick was really as he guessed, then compared to it, even if the countless stars in the sky were without inheritance, they wouldn’t be that important.
In the next instant, in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Su Jingzhen’s consciousness body suddenly showed a look of shock.
Because at this moment, he suddenly saw the void in front of him.
To be precise, the space above this branch suddenly split open.
And the blood that had gushed out of his palm just now poured entirely onto the branch.
If it was just the quantity, the blood he released was enough to drown the branch.
But the moment it touched the branch, it was completely absorbed.
The only leaf trembled a few times, and its luster seemed to brighten slightly in this instant.
“My blood can actually be used as nourishment?”
He was still shocked by this.
It seemed like because of this, he felt a sense of elevation.
However, what he didn’t know was that the ability to open the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and awaken the black brick was actually a confluence of fate between the Fire Dragon, Ice Phoenix, and him.
The bloodline level of the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix was sufficient.
When he accidentally brought them in yesterday, he awakened the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss inside the black brick.
And although Su Jingzhen’s blood wasn’t very high-grade, it also played a crucial role.
Because the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix were able to hatch in the first place was also due to Su Jingzhen.
The moment they hatched, they formed a strong karmic connection with Su Jingzhen.
And last night, the black brick had absorbed a large amount of blood from Su Jingzhen, which was actually absorbed by the branch in front of him.
In other words, the bloodline power of the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix awakened the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, while Su Jingzhen’s blood awakened this branch.
After all this happened, it led to a kind of contract between the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and the branch in front of Su Jingzhen.
Now, for this branch to preserve its vitality and even grow again, the only nourishment it could rely on was Su Jingzhen!
And as a Body Cultivation practitioner, the most essential thing he had was his blood essence.
At least that was the case while he was still primarily focused on physical cultivation.
At this time, Su Jingzhen’s physical body, while holding the black brick, began to practice Python Scales Power.
Using the power of his physical cultivation technique, he continuously generated blood within his body.
The blood energy from the eight Secret Repositories of his physical body surged out continuously, mixed with his blood, and constantly being absorbed into the black brick.
Even with the assistance of pills, the loss was far greater than the production.
In less than a stick of incense, Su Jingzhen’s complexion began to pale, and his breath even weakened slightly.
But in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the branch was still like a bottomless pit, showing no signs of stopping.
However, the leaf looked a bit more tender, and its vitality was much stronger.
Just as Su Jingzhen was about to collapse, the branch finally stopped absorbing.
The attraction from the black brick dissipated on its own.
It wasn’t that the branch had absorbed enough blood, but it could also sense Su Jingzhen’s state.
Su Jingzhen may not yet know what kind of karmic connection and relationship he had with the branch, but the other party seemed to understand and wouldn’t do anything to deplete him completely.
Su Jingzhen let out a sigh of relief, and his consciousness body carefully examined the branch again.
He saw that the patterns on it had a faint crimson tinge.
At the same time, he sensed a trace of his own aura from the branch.
“Is this recognizing its master?”
Su Jingzhen subconsciously licked his lips.
His heart was pounding with excitement.
It was as if thunder had struck his mind, and something clicked into place instantly.
He knew, of course, that the tree branch wouldn’t be able to answer him.
He continued, “Since we have such a fate, I think I should be qualified to know some things, right? Where is this place? And who are you?”
He looked expectantly at the tree branch.
The single leaf continued to sway gently, but there was no fluctuation in response.
Clearly, the other party couldn’t answer his question.
Or perhaps, he, Su Jingzhen, wasn’t qualified enough yet.
Su Jingzhen felt a little awkward, but he wasn’t in a hurry.
He asked again, “Not this, but I had two friends who were sucked into this place before, Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix. Where are they now? Are they alright?”
Su Jingzhen was confident that he would eventually figure out everything about the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and this tree branch.
He would just take it step by step for now.
He was increasingly convinced that this black brick, or this Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, was truly his second golden finger, besides the system.
As soon as he said this, the tree branch swayed again.
A gentle force emerged.
The void in front of Su Jingzhen twisted suddenly.
Another scene appeared within the void.
It was still a dim space, and Su Jingzhen immediately realized that it was still within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Then, two light spheres suddenly appeared in the scene.
One was crimson, the other ice blue.
Just from the picture, Su Jingzhen could sense the aura within them.
If not Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix, then what else could it be?
At this moment, he could clearly see the appearance of these two divine beasts within the picture.
Both Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix were suspended quietly in mid-air, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.
Fire Dragon was completely crimson, and every scale seemed to be burning with sacred flames.
Its dragon eyes were closed, and its dragon whiskers were strong and powerful.
It was just a newly hatched juvenile form, barely a meter long, but its four claws were powerful, still surrounded by flames.
This creature seemed to be the natural king of flames.
“If I could get a few drops of its blood to drink and a piece of its flesh to taste, my Body Refinement Cultivation would probably see a huge improvement,” Su Jingzhen thought to himself.
Thinking about this, Su Jingzhen’s mouth actually started to water.
How many people’s ultimate dream is to taste dragon meat?
And Su Jingzhen seemed to be gradually getting the conditions for this.
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Su Jingzhen’s gaze turned to the Ice Phoenix beside him.
Its phoenix eyes were also tightly closed, and its feathers were like ice crystals.
Each one was exquisitely beautiful while also being as tough as an ice blade.
Every feather emanated a chilling aura, and the void beside it seemed to be frozen.
In terms of nobility, the two were on par.
“They… where are they?
Can I go see them now?”
Seeing this scene, Su Jingzhen excitedly asked again.
Bai Suzhen had previously said that at the first moment these divine beasts hatch, whoever’s energy they are tainted with will have a great karmic connection with them.
Su Jingzhen wanted to strike while the iron was hot and establish a contract with the two of them directly.
He was confident that at this time, these nascent young ones would have no hostility towards him.
However, the moment he said this, the images of the Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix in front of him vanished.
The branch also stopped paying any further attention.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen instantly understood what it meant.
The Fire Dragon and Ice Phoenix probably had a more important role here.
“Alright, but I hope when they wake up, or when I can meet them, you can let me know.
After all, my cultivation can improve, and the energy contained in my blood will become stronger, which will naturally be more beneficial to you.
And they are crucial to my strength improvement.
I hope you understand.”
As soon as he said this, another wave came from the branch.
It was as if a gentle breeze brushed past Su Jingzhen’s cheeks, it was indeed the branch responding to him.
The meaning it conveyed seemed to be an understanding of Su Jingzhen’s current words.
“Alright, as for other things, if you don’t want to tell me, then forget it.
We have plenty of time.
There’s one thing I still need your cooperation with.
I have a batch of things that need to be temporarily stored in this space of yours.
With your current abilities, there shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Su Jingzhen spoke with a hint of anticipation.
He was almost certain that this branch was the sentience of this Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, or the manifestation of the black brick’s soul consciousness.
It could control everything here.
And since the other party had such extraordinary intelligence, as long as they could communicate, some things would be much easier to handle.
For everything in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, he knew he would gradually understand it all in time.
Some things the branch wasn’t willing to tell him yet, Su Jingzhen also believed there was a reason behind it.
He didn’t ask further, but he didn’t forget his original intention.
The moment his words fell, a mysterious yet gentle energy from the leaves of the branch connected to Su Jingzhen’s consciousness.
In that instant, he felt as if he had mastered the ability of the black brick to collect things.
This was the permission the branch had given him.
At this point, he could almost treat the black brick as a large storage ring.
“Is it that simple?”
Once the relationship was established and things went smoothly, everything seemed to become effortless.
When he first consciously entered the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, he was still worried about whether he would be trapped here.
After the twists and turns, it felt somewhat unreal.
He could only sigh with emotion: “I am truly the chosen one.”
At this time, his physical body held the black brick and looked up at the still raging stars.
He muttered, “Since that’s the case, then I, Su Jingzhen, will start creating miracles.”
His gaze then turned to Bai Suzhen, who was still beside him, her expression filled with confusion.
“Suzhen, we can begin now.
Remove the protective barrier and let them come over.”
But to Bai Suzhen, his words sounded like: “Stand back, I’m about to show off…”
