Chapter 74: The Origin of Blood Seal Warriors

After a while, the blue glow around the burly man gradually receded, and his breath completely steadied. It seemed that his injuries had partially healed.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he immediately knelt on the ground.

"I'm Lai Kuan. Thank you, Immortal Master, for sparing my life!"

Fang Yun shook his head at him. "Whether you can live or not depends on your performance. Stop wasting time and quickly explain everything about Blood Seal Warriors!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll tell you right now." Lai Kuan nodded repeatedly.

He then cautiously said, "But can we find a clean place to sit down and talk?"

While speaking, Lai Kuan glanced at the surrounding environment, indicating that this was not an appropriate place for a conversation.

The main reason was that due to the commotion, more of the gang members had gathered around. They were hesitant to approach, having seen the situation unfold.

Under such scrutiny, as the gang leader, he really didn't want to continue looking foolish.

Fang Yun looked at the blood-soaked ground and then at the gang members gathering in the distance. He slightly nodded. "Alright, lead the way!"

Upon hearing this, Lai Kuan immediately got up and walked into the courtyard.

"Immortal Master, please come in!"

Fang Yun nodded to the Black Widow, signaling her to follow. At the same time, he instructed the vine to burrow into the ground, but only about a foot deep, maintaining the ability to surge back up at any moment.

After all, with so many people watching, Fang Yun didn't want his vine exposed in front of everyone.

Subsequently, Fang Yun, along with the Black Widow, followed Lai Kuan into a guest room.

Fang Yun sat in the main seat, with the other two on either side. After tea was served, Fang Yun looked at Lai Kuan on his right.

Lai Kuan slightly bowed and said, "Master, when it comes to Blood Seal Warriors, I must mention a cultivation method that has been passed down for five thousand years.

Five thousand years ago, in the Wind Spirit Sea region, there was a loose cultivator known as the Five Elements Daoist.

He was a cultivator with five elemental roots, and his innate aptitude in the path of cultivation wasn't exceptional.

However, due to various fortuitous circumstances, the Five Elements Daoist managed to reach the pinnacle of this cultivation world.

His mastery of five elemental spells made him an absolute powerhouse in the cultivation realm at that time.

After reaching this peak, it's said that the Five Elements Daoist ascended and left this cultivation realm.

But for some unknown reason, his cultivation method, the Five Elements Technique, was passed down.

Initially, it circulated among the major powers of cultivators.

However, it wasn't long before they discovered that although this Five Elements Technique was incredibly powerful, being one of the top cultivation methods in the world, it had a fatal flaw: only those with five elemental roots could cultivate it.

This is because the method required the cultivator to absorb spiritual energy in perfect balance among the five elements; otherwise, they would fall into madness.

In the cultivation world, while five elemental roots are considered the weakest, their rarity isn't significantly less than that of heavenly roots.

Due to this limitation, very few individuals in the cultivation world could practice this technique.

Nevertheless, despite this limitation, the method remained too powerful.

Thus, research into it never ceased.

There were still many clever individuals in the cultivation world.

They developed a secret technique called Blood Seal Artifacts.

By using purely elemental materials in conjunction with artifact crafting methods, they formed a way for these materials to replace the roots and absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

This allowed those who originally did not have five elemental roots to also absorb five elemental spiritual energy.

Consequently, they could cultivate the Five Elements Technique.

Originally, this was a very powerful secret method, and the creator of it should have been able to use it to eventually become a formidable cultivator.

Even their forces could become stronger as a result.

However, after practicing this secret method, they found that things were not that simple.

On one hand, although almost everything in the world exists within the five elements, finding pure elemental materials is simply impossible.

All things are intertwined with the five elements.

Even if such materials do exist, they are extremely precious treasures.

How could they be easily used to craft artifacts?

Without options, the forces that created this secret method had to use some inferior elemental materials as substitutes.

They could barely begin their cultivation.

However, in the end, they discovered that although practicing the Five Elements Technique granted them great power, their cultivation speed was lamentably slow.

Those who practiced this secret method perfectly inherited the cultivation speed of the five elemental roots.

As a result, while they possessed great strength within the same realm, their future in cultivation was completely lost.

This was something that those cultivating this secret method could not accept.

Thus, the Five Elements Technique found no market in the cultivation world.

Eventually, it circulated into the mundane world, falling into the hands of warriors like us.

Through the research of our ancestors, we discovered that the lethal flaw for cultivators was acceptable for us.

In the past, we could only cultivate to the innate realm and could not make any further progress.

The fundamental reason was that we could only absorb the essence of the world, not the spiritual energy within it.

With the existence of Blood Seal Artifacts, we can now absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

This opened a path for us amidst despair.

Of course, for us warriors, obtaining purely elemental materials that cultivators couldn't even get is even more impossible.

But we don't have such high demands; we just need something that can absorb spiritual energy.

With the secret method within the Blood Seal Artifacts, we can absorb spiritual energy through them.

That is what matters most to us.

Moreover, the essence of the world itself contains all five elements.

In addition to Blood Seal Artifacts, we can also cultivate the Five Elements Technique.

Thus, the Five Elements Technique became the unified cultivation method for us Blood Seal Warriors.

This is the origin of us Blood Seal Warriors."

After listening to Lai Kuan's introduction about the Blood Seal Warriors, Fang Yun only partially believed him.

At the very least, he didn't trust the history of the Five Elements Technique that he mentioned.

Even if these events were true, they were not something a mere mortal like him could know.

However, these matters were ultimately unimportant.

Fang Yun just needed to know that the Blood Seal Warriors evolved from a Five Elements Technique.

Thinking about this key point, he picked up his teacup, sipping slowly and pondering.
