Chapter 523: Chapter 517: Admirable Courage

David Jones patted Lolo’s head, looking at Jewel with a playful gaze.

“Are you sure you’ve done everything?”

Jewel’s heart sank, attempting to bargain.

“I know of a dark and blood dual Refining Technique called Darkblood Hades that was passed down from the Blood Sanctum Clan. The technique has a Venerable level but only has five layers. If you let me go, I will give it to you.” The Blood Sanctum Clan was one of the thirteen sacred clans of Umbral, based in Rillfort Mansion which neighbored Spring Mansion. The clan held vast resources and had numerous strong ones within its ranks.

Jewel should not have access to such a high-level technique in theory, as the Darkblood Hades was secretive and exclusive to the Blood Sanctum Clan.

However, there were exceptions. Jewel, in an organization mission, killed a prodigy from the Blood Sanctum Clan during an intimate moment using her unrivaled Infatuation ability and obtained Darkblood Hades.

Unfortunately, that prodigy only had the power of a Ghost Prince, and the Darkblood Hades he carried only contained the first five levels up to the Ghost Prince level without the sixth layer and beyond.

Otherwise, with the knowledge learned, Jewel would not have only reached the

Ghost King Level in the last two years.

Upon hearing this, David Jones thought of Aqua whose bloodline Type was Darkness, and the Darkblood Hades, which combined darkness and blood elements, might be suitable for her cultivation.

As for the completeness of the technique, David Jones didn’t actually care. He was curious about how far Aqua could grow with her Talent after learning the technique!

“It seems you don’t quite understand your current situation.”

As David Jones finished speaking, the vines wrapped around Jewel started to contract, causing her bones to make a crisp sound under the terrifying pressure.

“Death is not the end. If you cooperate with me, I can give you a swift end without completely annihilating your soul. Perhaps there is still a chance for a reincarnation.” David Jones picked up the dropped Ghost Beedle from the ground.

“I hope you will keep your promise and give me a dignified death.”

Bearing the pain, Jewel deeply looked at David Jones, then recorded the entire Darkblood Hades in her mind onto the Heritage Stone.

After receiving the Heritage Stone from Jewel’s forehead, David Jones activated his Illusion-Piercing Eye to Identify its authenticity.

“Darkblood Hades”: A Mystic Art from the Blood Sanctum Clan, which is one of the thirteen sacred clans of Umbral. This technique does not require cultivation and primarily focuses on enhancing the potential of hidden bloodline abilities in Ghosts. There are nine layers in total.

Each activated layer of the bloodline would significantly strengthen the practitioners physically. Once the ninth layer of bloodline is activated, the physical body becomes undying and coexists with the mini-world, allowing the practitioner to seize the divine power of heaven and earth and achieve the status of a Ghost Deity.

Note: Only Ghosts can practice this technique, and the bloodline concentration must be above Imperial, which is the standard bloodline concentration of the Thirteen Sacred Clans’ direct descendants.

After the verification, David Jones put away the precious Heritage Stone and continued his interrogation, “What is the purpose of Ghost Hunter Guilt attacking Ghosts and collecting their souls?”

As if giving up on struggling, Jewel’s face regained its calmness, no longer attempting to seduce David Jones, “I’m only a middle-ranking member of Ghost Hunter Guilt. How could I know such secrets?”

Fearing that David Jones wouldn’t be satisfied, she added another sentence. “However, I’ve heard that Ghosts’ souls can be used for cultivation and even for improving bloodline quality. Master Guilt either aims to transform from a Ghost into a human to ascend to Godhood or for going further in the Ghost

Immortal Level.”

“What do you mean by transforming from a Ghost into a human?” David Jones narrowed his eyes.

His sharp intuition told him that this information might help him learn more about the Flowery Kingdom and even leave Umbral to return to Rosewood.

“You don’t know?”

jewel’s mouth revealed an excited smile, “Interesting. Could it be that you aren’t from the Ghost tribe, but like me, are from another race?

Transforming from a Ghost into a human and vice versa were the two significant breakthroughs in the Umbral Kingdom, the essential steps for a Ghost Immortal to advance into a Ghost Deity. One was to shed the Ghost body and evolve into a pure human, while the other was to abandon the human body and evolve into a rule-abiding Ghost.

As a result, the Great You Kingdom’s body cultivation world had even given rise to two factions. Yu Yao doubted that David Jones was a native of the Great You Kingdom, considering he didn’t even know these basic cultivation knowledge and had a similar appearance to the pure people.

Yu Yao looked at David Jones’ appearance and had a flash of inspiration. She suddenly tried to test him, “There’s a legend that the Cross-world Gate stands deep within the Great You Palace. How did you sneak in, outsider?” “Cross-world Gate!!! “A shock went through David Jones’ heart.

Unexpectedly, through twists and turns, he finally learned of a way to leave the Great You Kingdom – it’s just unknown whether the Cross-world Gate leads to the Flowery Kingdom or deeper into the Savage Wasteland.

“Haha, I knew it.” Yu Yao laughed loudly.

David’s emotions were extremely subtle, but she still quickly caught a glimpse of his surprise and shock.

“I originally thought that some of the secret rumors about the Ghost Hunter Guild were just fabricated to smear the image of the Great You Kingdom, but it turns out they were all true! The Great You Kingdom chose to seal its borders and lock itself away for the sake of gaining sway and extending control!” David Jones watched Yu Yao laughing loudly, his face still calm.

Soon, Yu Yao put away her smile and whispered, “I know some secrets about the Cross-world Gate, and I also know a secret that is critical to the life and death of the Great You Kingdom. Do you want to know?”

“Speak,” David Jones replied.

“Lean in,” Yu Yao’s red lips lightly opened, feigning secrecy.

David Jones patted Daphne on the head and motioned for her to get off his shoulder, then carrying Lolo, he walked towards Yu Yao.

“Hahaha, let’s die together!”

When David Jones was less than a meter away from her, Yu Yao’s eyes flashed with a malicious intent. The mysterious purple pattern on her face instantly covered her entire body and cracked, unleashing an unparalleled ghost force. She had cooperated so well before just to gain David Jones’ trust and find an opportunity to drag him down so she could exchange her life for his.

“Boom!”

A pillar of light that pierced the sky rose from the surface of the Mermaid Lake, causing the turbulent waters in the lake to evaporate rapidly, setting off earth- shaking shockwaves, and finally disappearing into the clouds.

This terrifying apparition immediately caught the attention of Aqua and Greenox waiting on the shore.

Without a second thought, Aqua jumped towards the direction of the light pillar.

It wasn’t easy for her to find someone of her kind, and she didn’t want to lose them.

However, Aqua was stopped by Greenox, who was even more powerful, after only taking a few steps.

“Trust the boss!”

Ever since that night when he saw David Jones’ power with his own eyes, Greenox had become an enthusiastic supporter of David Jones.

The opponent was just a fish!

If the boss chose to take action personally, there would be no doubt of success. “How could this be?!”

At this moment, within the pillar of light, the vines entwined around Yu Yao shattered one after another, and her right hand weakly stretched towards the unharmed David Jones, but could not touch him at all.

Watching Yu Yao’s unwillingness, her body shattered and annihilated like porcelain, David Jones smiled silently, his Black Dragon Badge radiating on his chest.

“Your courage is commendable, but every move you make has been seen through by my eyes!”
