Chapter 461: Nine Heavenly Offerings

The mystical technique that Gu Bulao passed on to Jiang Yun is called Nine Heavenly Offerings.

In simple terms, it involves using something of oneself as an offering to the heavens.

One can perform this offering nine times in total, and each time, they receive the blessing of the Power of the Heavens, temporarily boosting their own strength.

The offering of oneself is not a tangible item, but refers to everything that one possesses, such as blood, flesh, life force, spiritual energy, vitality, and so on.

Since it is a mystical technique, just like Jiang Yun’s self-created technique of merging three bodies into one, while it enhances one’s strength, it also has some damaging effects on oneself.

The same goes for the Nine Heavenly Offerings; once the offering is made, the offering is absorbed by the heavens and permanently disappears from oneself.

Moreover, if one performs continuous offerings within a short period of time, the required offering cannot change, and the quantity will double each time.

For example, if you choose blood as the offering for the first time, then for the following offerings, it must also be blood.

For the first offering to the heavens, maybe only ten drops of blood are needed. But for the second offering, it could be thirty drops, and for the third time, maybe even a hundred drops.

If you really want to complete the nine offerings to the heavens, then you might have to give all of your body’s blood.

However, if you can truly make it to nine offerings, the Power of the Heavens you can gain is enough to turn anyone from an ordinary person into a strong being of the Sky Blessed Realm.

After understanding this technique, Jiang Yun could only describe it with four words – dominating and extraordinary!

This technique is extremely useful for Jiang Yun, at least at this current stage.

Also, he doesn’t necessarily need to complete all nine offerings. With his current strength, after two offerings, he may be able to battle against a complete cultivator of the Profound Realm.

If three or four offerings are made, he might even be able to battle against a cultivator of the Tao Spiritual Realm.

But Jiang Yun also knows that this technique, like merging the three bodies into one, should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Anyway, having this technique adds another powerful card to Jiang Yun’s hand, making him incredibly strong!

During the following days, Jiang Yun was completely immersed in practicing this technique.

As Jiang Yun began to practice the Nine Heavenly Offerings, most groups within The Land of a Hundred Families had already set off, bringing many animals, heading towards Mu village.

As Xiao Yun mentioned, any groups wishing to participate in the Beast Arena must attach themselves to Mu village and depart six months in advance.

Mu village is not located in a valley but in a group of mountains.

Looking down from the top, one can see houses and various animals scattered among the mountains.

On top of a mountain, Jiang Yun saw Mu Congsheng looking displeased as he spoke to an elderly man with greying temples, saying, "Dad, I think we shouldn’t go to the Beast Arena this time!"

The elderly man is the village chief of Mu village, Mu Wanchun.

His gaze was fixed on the groups arriving at the entrance of Mu village, and upon hearing his son’s disappointment, he slightly furrowed his brows and asked, "Why?"

"Because even if we go, we probably won’t beat that Jiang Yun. Why waste resources and travel such a long distance?"

Mu Wanchun shook his head and said, "Jiang Yun is only good at taming animals, but in Beast Arena, it’s about the strength of the animals!"

"He has a total of six super beasts, the strongest of which is the bat. The three elders estimate that the bat is probably only a level four super beast."

"In our family, we also have level four super beasts, so it is still uncertain who will win!"

Although Mu Wanchun said this, Mu Congsheng’s face clearly showed disdain.

Mu Wanchun continued, "Moreover, even if we can’t defeat Jiang Yun, the whole The Barbaric Southern Land is full of hidden talents. Jiang Yun can’t possibly be the ultimate winner of Beast Arena!"

"Besides, Father is also preparing to find out about Jiang Yun’s background during this Beast Arena, to see if there’s an opportunity to kill him!"

After hearing his father’s words, Mu Congsheng’s eyes brightened and he said, "In that case, we can participate in this Beast Arena!"

"Of course!"

Mu Wanchun suddenly turned to Mu Congsheng, with a sly smile, and said, "There is another reason we must go!"

Mu Congsheng asked puzzledly, "What’s going on?"

"It is said that the Xia family wants to find a husband for their third daughter Xia Mingzhu through this Beast Arena event."

"Xia Mingzhu!"

Upon hearing these three words, Mu Congsheng’s eyes almost lit up, but then dimmed slightly, shaking his head unwillingly, "Dad, but Xia Mingzhu is known as the most beautiful woman in the Southern Continent, and the Xia family, being a Daoist clan, is so powerful. How could they possibly be interested in me?"

"It’s not impossible!" Mu Wanchun smiled mysteriously, "Just trust me, you still have a chance!"

"Really?"

Although his father didn’t explain how he could have a chance, Mu Congsheng believed his father wouldn’t deceive him about such matters, so he immediately became excited again and said, "Dad, then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry up and go!"

"Haha, go get ready first. We’ll set off once all the clans are gathered!"

"Okay!"

Mu Congsheng agreed and immediately bounced down the mountain.

Watching his son walk away, Mu Wanchun’s smile faded, and he furrowed his brow, saying, "Who is this Jiang Yun, really? The people we sent out to investigate have all returned, but none of them have any information about him."

"If he’s not from the Daoist clan, how could someone like Yu Cangwu be friends with him?"

"But if Xia Laojiu wasn’t lying to me, and if this time Jiang Yun can truly win the favor of the Xia family and become their son-in-law, then it doesn’t matter where he’s from!"

…

After a month, Jiang Yun had mastered the basics of the Nine Heavenly Offerings. He could only perform the ritual three times due to the limited sacrificial items available.

Performing the ritual a fourth time would require him to sacrifice his own life, so continuing to practice had no meaning.

At this point, Jiang Yun shifted his focus to the Demonic Life-Death Seal.

Bai Ze mentioned that the Demonic Life-Death Seal might be the key to transforming this Ancient Grand Desolate World.

In addition to having a strong feeling himself, he thought that the Beast Arena and Demonic Life-Death Seal would be useful this time, so he decided to spend the remaining time contemplating the Demonic Life-Death Seal, hoping to gain some insights.

A black stone emerged from his lower abdomen, and the six spiritual stones exploded.

Jiang Yun suddenly saw a very complicated seal, which immediately entered his body.

When facing the Demonic Life-Death Seal on the Against-Demon Bridge, Jiang Yun had no power to resist at all. He hoped that as his strength increased, he would at least be able to defend against it.

However, to his surprise, he still couldn’t resist it now and couldn’t even see the Demonic Life-Death Seal clearly.

Thanks to this just being a contemplation and not a real attack of the Demonic Life-Death Seal, as the water turned back into a black stone, Jiang Yun regained clarity.

"If once is not enough, then twice; if twice is not enough, then ten times; if ten times is not enough, then a hundred times!"

Jiang Yun was determined, knowing he had plenty of spiritual stones now.

Selling those elixirs had given him more than a million spiritual stones. In the next two months, he was ready to face the Demonic Life-Death Seal completely!

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed, and in the Xiao family valley, Xiao Wangjie, Xiao Yun, and others were ready.

They received a message from Jiang Yun yesterday, informing them to set off today to participate in the Beast Arena!
