Han Zhan suppressed the excitement in his heart.
He raised his hand, and golden particles began to gather in his palm.
These golden particles, Li Wu and the others couldnât see them; only someone like himself, who possessed Heavenâs Origin Power, could "see" them.
In his consciousness sea, the Bodhi Treasure Tree sensed the influx of golden particles, and its leaves rustled with joy.
After being nourished, the branches at the top of the Bodhi Treasure Tree grew more twigs, and new leaves sprouted on them.
At the moment the Bodhi Treasure Tree finished absorbing,
Han Zhan suddenly attained enlightenment regarding his previous cultivation of Taixu Return Collection.
Suddenly, within Han Zhanâs body, the long-stagnant sixth Great Ruins unexpectedly opened with the help of the Bodhi Treasure Tree!
The emergence of the sixth Great Ruins caused Han Zhanâs entire body to echo with a roar.
Combined with the five previous Great Ruins, the newly manifested Great Ruins began to jointly refine the flesh body, purify impurities, and temper muscles and bones.
An endless stream of Spiritual Power was absorbed and accumulated, and the total amount of Spiritual Power inside soared.
When the accumulation of Spiritual Power reached a certain level, the rivers merged into a vast ocean; everything fell into place.
The chains binding him to heaven and earth seemed to have unlocked another shackle.
His entire body became more relaxed and unrestrained.
The Realm, breakthrough to Tier Eight!
At this moment, Han Zhan opened his eyes again.
"You broke through too?!" As a newly minted Tier Eight, Li Wu certainly could feel the change in Han Zhanâs Realm, and he leaned back in surprise.
His own breakthrough was due to the fusion of trait material, relying on Divine Thought Enlightenment, equivalent to borrowing external forces, standing on the shoulders of giants.
How did Han Zhan achieve it?
This young man named Han Zhan, is he really just someone young?
Could he actually be a Fu Xi Clan old monster, disguised as a young man, deliberately sneaking in to steal some secrets of the Jiuli Tribe?
Li Wuâs mind started wildly imagining.
However, he also knew that if Han Zhan really were a Fu Xi Clan old monster, it wouldnât be left to him; surely Great Power or the Chieftain would have taken over long ago.
In Li Wuâs mind, Han Zhanâs status skyrocketed after this Blood Pool trip.
The opening of the sixth Great Ruins, successfully breaking through Tier Eight, the combination of both boosted Han Zhanâs confidence in completing the exploration of the Wilderness of Zhulu Fruit World.
Now, Li Wu had already obtained trait material from the Blood Pool, gained special Divine Thought, and became the new Great Power of the Jiuli Race.
Han Zhan also harvested quite the benefits from the Blood Pool, overflowing with gains.
They exchanged a glance, Li Wu also glanced at Li Heng and then spoke:
"Weâve been in the Blood Pool long enough; if we stay any longer, the pollutionâs only going to worsen."
"Youâre leaving?" At this moment, Li Heng indeed couldnât sit still.
He heard Li Wuâs words and immediately approached, asking urgently.
"Exactly." Li Wu glanced at Han Zhan, then resolutely stated, "Weâve decided to leave the Blood Pool immediately."
This villain, it seems, I must be the one to play the role. Li Wu thought.
Li Heng, also a Jiuli Clan person, teamed with him for exploration, couldnât be indifferent to trait material.
But now, the risk of staying in the Blood Pool has vastly increased. Li Wu himself might be fine, but he wouldnât let Han Zhan continue taking such risks.
So even if Li Heng rebuked angrily, Li Wu was determined to disband the team and leave the Blood Pool today.
"Fine, fine, fine! You both gained something, while I got nothing. Now you tell me youâve decided to leave the Blood Pool?!"
Unsurprisingly, upon hearing the decision, Li Heng directly erupted in anger.
But soon, he suppressed his fury, realizing that the two had just broken through to Tier Eight, making him no match for them!
"Li Heng, we only temporarily teamed up; thereâs been no prior promises."
"If not for Han Zhan, youâd have long been devoured by a creature turned pure pollution, perished in the Blood Pool."
"If truth be told, you owe us, and weâve no debt to you."
Li Wu spoke frankly.
Apart from being a tad blunt, there was no issue.
At the moment, Li Heng was in his Blood Embryo form, obscuring the colors shifting on his face. If not for the Blood Embryo form, one could certainly see his face alternating between hues of blue and white.
"All right, very well!"
"Though Iâm not some big figure, Iâm still a Priest, at least."
"If you leave me behind, Iâll return and recount everything that happened here to everyone!"
"Unless you continue exploring with me, help me find trait material and complete fusion!" Li Heng insists.
After he finished speaking, there was dead silence.
Li Wu directly ignored his request, even sneering in response.
"Such wishful thinking."
"Iâve already made myself clear, yet you still think to threaten us into helping you find trait material."
"But youâve overlooked one point. Even if you gossip beside the High Priest, even if he believes your tale, my current status is Great Power!"
Great Power is second only to the Great Chief and Chieftain within the Jiuli Tribe.
Between Great Power and High Priest, apart from different duties, their status is equivalent.
Moreover, due to Great Powerâs frequent participation in Jiuli Tribe wars, their prestige among Jiuli Clan People far surpasses the High Priest.
If Li Heng truly did as he claimed, widely spreading his narrative, he risks losing his priesthood, a "self-destruct" performance.
Li Heng choked on Li Wuâs last words.
He opened his mouth but could no longer speak anything capable of threatening Li Wu and his companions.
Ultimately, he could only utter in a resentful tone, "Youâll regret this for sure!"
"We certainly will regret." At this moment, Han Zhan, who had yet to speak, suddenly said.
"If we leave according to the method Kuafu taught me, weâll regret it, and weâll die!"
Han Zhanâs words quieted the scene again.
The unconditional trust Li Lingzhen and Li Wu placed in Han Zhan believed in his judgment too.
What happened?
Didnât Kuafu state that prematurely leaving the Blood Pool merely required extracting and crushing the Blood Core within the Blood Embryo? Isnât that correct?
Regarding departure methods, the High Priest, while describing them to Li Wu, only mentioned finding the special Teleportation Gate for exit.
As for the premature departure method, Han Zhan obtained it by chance during a conversation with Kuafu.
This was supposed to be a straightforward transfer of knowledge; they never imagined a potential issue.
Yet upon hearing that last sentence from Han Zhan, they were bewildered.
At this point, Li Hengâs voice echoed again, a chill in his tone.
"When did you discover this?"
