Although this was expected, Ling Yan was still unwilling to give up and followed everyone to the top of the fourth mountain. Soon, everyone arrived at the top of the mountain. Looking at the flat top of the mountain, everyone knew that there was no so-called pool of water and blood power here.
Looking at Ling Yan who looked lost, Yang Qi couldn't help but say, "Fellow Daoist Ling Yan..."
"I'm fine. I had expected it." Ling Yan shook his head slightly. Although he said that, everyone could see that Ling Yan was obviously a little disappointed at the moment.
After all, he had finally encountered an opportunity to improve the level of his bloodline power, but in the end, only the small pool of water just now was effective, and the big pool of water was not useful. In this case, his bloodline power was not improved to the extreme at all.
If his own bloodline power could be raised to the extreme, Ling Yan had the confidence that he could go further on the path of cultivation. However, now, the fact that his bloodline power had not been raised to the extreme also meant that his talent and potential in bloodline power cultivation would suddenly be restricted to a certain extent.
Seeing this situation, everyone could only sigh in their hearts, and then a group of people rushed towards the fifth mountain. Just like the first mountain, the fifth mountain was still bare and there was no opportunity at all.
Looking at the bare scene in front of him, Emperor Jiuyan said solemnly, "The Broken Palm has completed the investigation."
Everyone was not too surprised by this. They had already obtained the Blood Shadow Lotus, which was considered a gain. They had also finished investigating the broken palm in front of them, so it was time to leave.
Yang Qi looked at the slightly disappointed Ling Yan and couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Ling Yan, do you have any way to absorb the blood power of the big pool?"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Ling Yan. If there was a way to help Ling Yan, they would naturally not mind helping. However, their understanding of the blood of the gods was limited, and they didn't know if there were other ways to absorb the blood power in the big pool besides entering the big pool.
"You can try to collect the blood essence in the big pool." Ling Yan paused for a moment before continuing, "But this method can only be done by a cultivator who has awakened the blood of God, or a cultivator at the same level as the owner of the blood essence."
After these words came out, everyone's faces showed a hint of helplessness. It was obvious that they could not help at all in collecting the blood essence. After all, they themselves were not practitioners who had awakened the blood of God, nor were they at the level of Martial Saint. The idea of forcibly collecting the blood essence was simply not feasible.
“If I collect the blood essence myself, the efficiency will be very limited. I’m afraid it will take a long time to collect enough blood essence to increase my blood power to the extreme.” Ling Yan spoke again.
As a cultivator at the peak level of the Martial Emperor, Ling Yan used a long time to summarize the time required. It can be imagined that the time required is at least tens of thousands of years. With such a long time, even if everyone really stayed, how to avoid those Fen Clan cultivators would be a big problem.
Obviously, Ling Yan also knew that it was unrealistic for everyone to wait with him in this cave for tens of thousands of years. Not to mention whether everyone could stay for that long, even if they could, if they stayed in the pool for such a long time, it would be equivalent to giving up other opportunities in this cave. Everyone came for opportunities, and they could help Ling Yan to the best of their ability, but they would never give up the chance to fight for opportunities to help Ling Yan!
Therefore, after saying this, Ling Yan fell silent and did not say anything more, because he knew that the possibility of everyone agreeing to this matter was almost zero.
At this moment, the Great Emperor Wu Shi on the side suddenly said, "Perhaps we can try to help Fellow Daoist Ling Yan enter the pool of water to absorb the power of his bloodline."
"Isn't this feasible?" Emperor Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and continued, "Although the strength of those strange fish is limited, we cannot completely resist all their power. Once the strange fish attack when Ling Yan absorbs the power of his bloodline, he will definitely be disturbed."
With everyone's strength, they can stop the strange fish and prevent it from hurting Ling Yan. However, to allow Ling Yan to absorb the power of blood, it is definitely not as simple as stopping the strange fish. They also have to prevent the fight with the strange fish from affecting Ling Yan's absorption of blood. Otherwise, when Ling Yan absorbs the power of blood, he will be affected and it is likely to damage his own foundation.
"If we simply defend against the attacks of those strange fish, we naturally cannot do this." Emperor Wu Shi smiled calmly and continued, "But what if we can set up a formation to block the strange fish outside the formation and prevent Ling Yan inside the formation from being affected?"
"this… "
Hearing the words of Emperor Wu Shi, everyone was slightly startled. They did not expect that Emperor Wu Shi would come up with such an idea. But they had to admit that Emperor Wu Shi's idea had some room for maneuver, but...
"The blood essence in that pool is extremely powerful. How do we set up a formation?" A cultivator at the peak of Martial Emperor level frowned.
"I just said to set up a formation, but I didn't say to actually set up a formation in the pool." Emperor Wu Shi paused for a moment, then looked at Yang Qi and said, "Isn't there a ready-made formation here?"
After hearing what Emperor Wu Shi said, Yang Qi immediately understood that Emperor Wu Shi wanted him to use the guardian form of the Star Orb to protect Ling Yan, absorb his blood essence and enhance his own blood power.
but…
“Although Fellow Daoist Xu Xing’s life-saving method is powerful, it also consumes a lot of energy. He can’t protect Fellow Daoist Ling Yan for long if he relies on himself.” Emperor Yaoyue glanced at Emperor Wu Shi and continued, “If this keeps happening, not only will Fellow Daoist Xu Xing’s energy be consumed a lot, but Fellow Daoist Ling Yan’s bloodline power absorption will also be greatly reduced. I don’t know how long it will take to increase his own bloodline power to the extreme.”
Although the method proposed by Emperor Wu Shi was feasible, the premise was that Yang Qi could keep activating the Star Orb and display the Star Guardian form. But the problem was that Star Guardian also consumed energy. There were countless strange fish in the pond, and the strength and means of those strange fish were comparable to those at the peak level of the Martial Emperor. Once the number increased, how long could Yang Qi resist even if he activated the Star Orb
Although the water-grinding method can be successful, it requires enormous time and energy, and will ultimately keep everyone stuck in the water for a considerable amount of time, which is exactly what everyone cannot accept.
Ling Yan, who had originally felt a glimmer of hope, immediately realized after hearing what Emperor Yaoyue said that the feasibility of this method was also greatly reduced, and other practitioners might not agree.
