Subsequently, she stopped bickering with the Ancient Blood Demon and directly addressed Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing, "This place is called the Scarlet Source Blood Domain, spanning nine thousand li. It is the transformed body of the Ancient Blood Demon."
"Now, everyone search around and see if you find anything suspicious. Remember, do not touch anything here!"
"Alright!"
Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, and Shen Liuxing responded and spread out to search.
Nine thousand li in circumference sounded vast, but for the four of them, who had already become God Kings, it was merely child's play.
Zilin Ling did not leave, but stood in place, lost in thought, gazing at the dark red stream.
Nine thousand li?
How could a single drop of blood transform itself into a body spanning nine thousand li?
Suddenly, Zilin Ling's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise, "I understand! When blood merges with blood, it's not impossible to transform into ninety thousand li, or even ninety million li!"
"Therefore, the true body of the Ancient Blood Demon should be hidden within this stream!"
However, the stream was so long, how could she collect it?
Zilin Ling was troubled again.
While the Chaos Seal was extremely effective in suppressing demons, its range of application was limited.
It was utterly impossible to seal this entire stream of water. What should she do?
"Little girl Zi, you are truly in a muddle because you are too close to the situation!"
Du Lao, who had been asleep for a long time, woke up at some point and teased her.
Zilin Ling exclaimed with surprise, "Du Lao, you're awake?"
Du Lao's soul form floated out of the Nine Spirits Ring, and he said irritably, "If I didn't wake up, would you just stand here and fret uselessly?"
Zilin Ling gave a sheepish smile and said, "I was just momentarily stumped!"
Du Lao stroked his beard and said, "Such a simple matter, and you're stumped?"
Zilin Ling paused, then joyfully said, "Du Lao, you have a way, don't you?"
Du Lao gave her a glare and huffed, "During my slumber, did you forget everything about formations?"
Formations!
Zilin Ling suddenly realized.
How could she have forgotten about this?
The art of formations was profound and vast; if applied properly, it could even trap a mountain.
Therefore, Zilin Ling chirped excitedly, "Thank you, Du Lao, for the reminder! By the way, Du Lao, you've completely repaired your soul by waking up this time, haven't you?"
Du Lao said irritably, "You ungrateful girl, are you only remembering to care about this old man now?"
Zilin Ling giggled, "Du Lao, my mind was just a bit stuck earlier!"
"Puchi!"
Du Lao was amused and said, "Girl, my soul is completely repaired, and I've also awakened some strange memories!"
"What memories?" Zilin Ling asked curiously.
Du Lao shook his head and said, "They aren't very clear yet, but they seem to be some very powerful formations!"
Zilin Ling was shocked. "Very powerful formations? What formations?"
Du Lao shook his head again and said, "Those memories are fragmented, so I can't say for sure. But I have a feeling that only when my physical body and soul are reunited will those memories become complete!"
Hearing this, Zilin Ling felt a little disappointed. "But that requires a physical body first!"
"Right, Du Lao, when you mentioned refining a physical body, besides needing withered branches of Jianmu, what else is required?"
A hint of slyness flashed in Du Lao's eyes. He smiled and said, "Do you mean to say you'll find whatever I need?"
Zilin Ling puffed out her chest and said, "Of course! If I don't help you, who will?"
Her words warmed Du Lao's heart considerably.
Du Lao suddenly said seriously, "Girl, what if I told you that there's something I need in this stream?"
Zilin Ling exclaimed in astonishment, "Du Lao, are you sure you're not joking?"
Du Lao nodded. "No!"
Zilin Ling paused for a moment, then suddenly pointed at Du Lao's nose, exasperated, "You old fool, are you stupid?"
"Since there's something you need in the stream, why are you asking? Naturally, you should act quickly and find a way to get it!" Sudang Xiaoshuo.net
"Tell me, what is it inside?"
Du Lao was stunned by her sudden 360-degree turn, and only after a while did he process her words.
He huffed angrily, "You ungrateful girl, if you dare call me an old fool again, I'll... I'll..."
"Old fool, you'll what?" Zilin Ling retorted dismissively.
"I'll..."
As Du Lao was about to utter a threat, Zilin Ling interrupted him.
"Alright, don't 'I'll' anymore. Hurry up and tell me, what exactly is it?"
Du Lao also knew that this was not the time for fooling around, so he took a deep breath and said, "If my senses are correct, at the bottom of this stream, there must be a Blood Vein Spirit Coral Bone!"
"Blood Vein Spirit Coral Bone?!"
Zilin Ling's jaw nearly dropped in shock.
The Blood Vein Spirit Coral Bone was a legendary divine finger bone.
It was said that when Ancestral God left Azure Star, he broke off a segment of his little finger bone and threw it onto Azure Star to suppress the entire planet's destiny.
But legends were just legends; no one knew if they were true.
Zilin Ling hurriedly asked, "Du Lao? How do you know that the Blood Vein Spirit Coral Bone exists beneath this stream?"
A hint of confusion flickered in Du Lao's eyes. "I'm not sure either. Just now, a voice suddenly appeared in my mind, telling me to absolutely obtain the Blood Vein Spirit Coral Bone at the bottom of this stream!"
Zilin Ling was even more astonished.
She asked again, "Whose voice was it? Do you recognize it?"
Du Lao shook his head in confusion. "I don't recognize it, but there's a strange sense of familiarity, as if... as if..."
"As if what, hurry up and say it!" Zilin Ling urged him anxiously.
Du Lao's eyes lit up. "Right, that voice, it sounded like my own voice!"
Your own voice?!
Zilin Ling became even more confused. She asked again, "Are you sure it was your own voice?"
Du Lao thought for a moment, then shook his head again. "I'm not sure!"
Zilin Ling patted her forehead, a helpless smile appearing on her face.
The strange events before her were unlike anything she had ever encountered.
If it weren't for Du Lao's soul being bound to her by a contract, she would have suspected Du Lao of having schizophrenia.
Could this be related to the fragmented memories Du Lao had awakened?
Never mind!
Now was not the time to investigate these matters.
The most important thing at hand was to collect this entire stream into her nascent world and completely suppress the Ancient Blood Demon.
Thus, Zilin Ling asked Du Lao, "Du Lao, what formation do you think we should use to completely collect this stream?"
Du Lao thought for a moment and said intermittently, "Four... Four... Four Symbols..."
