1597 Crazy Plan, I Am Confident In My Own Luck
Deep inside the Dead Soul Ocean, Chu Kuangren suddenly opened his eyes.
His Chaos Green Lotus had completely refined the Red Karmic Flame Lotus!
The power of the Chaos Green Lotus was taken to a whole new level.
In addition to that, refining the Red Karmic Flame Lotus also boosted his Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame greatly. Now, it was countless times more powerful than before.
Other than that, the Red Karmic Flame Lotus granted him a new cultivation technique unique to the Blood Ocean — the Blood God Technique.
The Blood God Technique originated from the Underworld River Forefather, who used it to refine four hundred and eighty million Blood Divine Daoists. It was also known as the matchless cultivation technique of the Unwithering Blood Ocean and the Undying Underworld River.
Given Chu Kuangren's monstrous cognizance, he managed to master the cultivation technique in the shortest time possible.
However, the cultivation requirements for it were harsher than normal. Even with Chu Kuangren's outstanding talents, it was extremely difficult to cultivate that technique.
Therefore, he planned to put it aside first.
When he saw soldiers heavily surrounding the Dead Soul Ocean, he finally realized he was in a pinch.
"The three Ashura Arch Gilded Immortals I met before were all in the Five Qi realm, and I was no match for them. Legend has it that the Ashura Tribe has four Ashura Kings, and each of them is a Perfected Arch Gilded Immortal.
"There's also the Four Great Demonic Generals hiding somewhere in the Blood Ocean. Since Papiyas also originated from the Blood Ocean, it's not surprising that many other beings could rival him. Even if they're all dead now, I can't be certain they didn't leave behind any defensive measures."
The gears in Chu Kuangren's mind spun rapidly as he pondered on the situation.
It was not exaggerating to say that he was in a desperate situation.
He might be safe under the Dead Soul Ocean's protection for now, but once he set foot outside, he would be in danger.
Even if he had the Indestructible Body and Chaos Green Lotus, he would still be in a disadvantageous position.
Would he be sealed away? Would he be lynched? Or would he be apprehended for research?
Regardless of the outcome, he did not want any of them to happen.
"How should I turn this situation around?"
Chu Kuangren looked around at the dead souls and realized he might be in a deadlock.
The dead souls in the Dead Soul Ocean were undoubtedly a powerful weapon, but they were only afraid of him because of his Ghost Emperor's authority. Their rage qi was too much for him to control them freely.
More importantly, the dead souls had merged with the Blood Ocean, and they could never leave it.
"Hmm…"
Chu Kuangren rubbed his temple.
Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult for him to open up a passage to the Underworld from the Nether Abyss Blood Ocean. Otherwise, he could have returned to the Underworld since it would be difficult for an Embodier to cross both worlds.
"Let's do a gacha draw and see what we can get."
"Congratulations, Host! You've won the Legendary-tier price, the Heavenly Star Sword Finger."
It was a cultivation technique, but it was not even God-tier, so it was useless to him and to the current situation.
On the second day, he did the gacha draw again but got another useless item.
It went on for the third, the fourth, and the fifth day, but he did not get anything useful.
With his current cultivation level, even if he had the Lucky Halo's blessing, it would be extremely difficult for him to get something useful.
That meant he had to rely on himself more as he could not just put all his hopes on the gacha roll.
After all, he did not rely on just the gacha roll to reach his current status.
Since he was in the Dead Soul Ocean and the Ashura Tribe did not have any plans to deal with him at the moment, he had time to figure things out.
Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and almost two weeks passed.
Chu Kuangren got bored and started to play with the bloody water in the Dead Soul Ocean.
The bloody water took multiple forms in his hand.
Suddenly, a dead soul phased through the bloody water in his hand and passed through his body.
Chu Kuangren was startled by the sudden appearance, but it also gave him an idea.
He managed to grasp the idea and further expanded it into a plan. In the end, his eyes gleamed. "Yes, that's it! I got it!"
The key would still be in the Dead Soul Ocean.
The Dead Soul Ocean was his protection in the Nether Abyss Blood Ocean, and because of that, the great ones of the Blood Ocean dared not attack him so far.
The dead souls of the Dead Soul Ocean could not leave the Blood Ocean, but what if he controlled the Blood Ocean?
It sounded ridiculous because other than the Underworld River Forefather, no one could control the Blood Ocean.
However, if the Underworld River Forefather could do it, why not Chu Kuangren?
The Underworld River Forefather controlled the Blood Ocean using the four-hundred eighty million Blood Divine Daoists, and coincidentally, Chu Kuangren possessed the cultivation technique — the Blood God Technique!
"If I have to cultivate the Blood Divine Daoists one by one, it would be too time-consuming and troublesome. It would take me until the end of time to control the Blood Ocean.
"But aren't there ready-made Blood Divine Daoists here in the Blood Ocean?"
When he first arrived at the Blood Ocean, the Blood Divine Daoists were like soldiers patrolling the place, and there were more than he could count!
According to the Blood God Technique, the Underworld River Forefather could control four-hundred eighty million Blood Divine Daoists because he divided his Immortal Consciousness into the same amount and infused them into the Blood Divine Daoists.
It required a massively powerful Soul Realm, at least the Requiescence realm or Peak Requiescence realm.
Chu Kuangren's Soul Realm was not that high yet, so it would not work.
However, although he might not have that high of a Soul Realm, he had access to the countless dead souls in the ocean.
"The Blood Divine Daoists' Immortal Consciousness scattered after the fall of Underworld River Forefather. Now, all the Blood Divine Daoists are with power but without any intellect. It's like they are raw power waiting to be controlled.
"If I can replace the number of Immortal Consciousness with the dead souls and infuse them into the Blood Divine Daoists, I can control them using the Blood God Technique and Ghost Emperor's authority together.
"Then, won't I have cultivated the highest of the Blood God Technique?"
Chu Kuangren pondered.
His method was crazy, but only he could do it.
"Lil Ai, analyze the Blood Divine Daoist and see if my plan could work."
Chu Kuangren ordered Lil Ai to analyze the plan and see if it was workable.
"Report. The Blood God Technique is a top-tier Embodier Technique. If you insist on doing it, it poses a certain risk and only has a twenty percent success rate."
"Twenty percent? That's enough! I have confidence in my luck!" Chu Kuangren grinned.
Rather than sit back and do nothing, he might as well give it a try.
"Through analysis, the success rate can be increased to thirty percent."
"Great. That makes it more worth it to try."
"The last question would be how to get all the Blood Divine Daoists across the Blood Ocean to gather here in the Dead Soul Ocean and fuse with the dead souls?"
A sudden thought rushed into his mind, and he raised a crimson fragment of a soul in his hand.
The fragmented soul was a mark left behind by the Underworld River Forefather inside the Red Karmic Flame Lotus. When the Chaos Green Lotus absorbed the Red Karmic Flame Lotus, it extracted the fragmented soul's mark as well.
"The Blood Divine Daoists are the vessels for the Underworld River Forefather's Immortal Consciousness, so they must be sensitive towards the Underworld River Forefather's fragmented soul. This would be great bait," Chu Kuangren said as he rubbed his chin.
Now that he had the plan and the bait, all that was left was to execute it.
However, before executing his plan, he had to comprehend the Blood God Technique first to ensure nothing would go wrong in the process.
