Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World Chapter 2270: Blood Qi and Strength

For three days, Zhao Hai trailed the elderly elephant. They traversed tens of thousands of kilometers during this period. Any other cultivator attempting such a trek would have certainly encountered a crazed elephant at the Teleportation Stage.

Zhao Hai, however, remained undetected by the crazed elephants thanks to his divergent ability. This allowed him to maintain his pursuit of the old elephant without interference.

One reason for his successful concealment was the relatively small size of the elephant herds they encountered. Furthermore, the old elephant appeared to be following a specific route designed to bypass other groups. They only crossed paths with a few herds that were unavoidable. Although the elephant’s pace seemed leisurely, its actual velocity was impressive; covering ten thousand kilometers in three days is by no means a slow feat.

As the sun began to set on the third day, a hill featuring a cave appeared before Zhao Hai. The entrance, measuring approximately ten meters in height and five meters in width, seemed unremarkable at first glance.

Nonetheless, the cave piqued Zhao Hai’s interest. A formidable aura emanated from the opening. Even though this energy wasn't being directed intentionally, its power was immense.

The sensation radiating from the cave was that of Qi and blood. This aura of Qi and blood surged toward the heavens, appearing powerful enough to alter the very color of the sky.

The old elephant came to a halt at that moment. Zhao Hai then sensed a spiritual force reaching out toward him. This connection wasn't particularly forceful, mirroring the method the old white ape had used to communicate with him previously.

Startled for a moment, Zhao Hai quickly grasped the old elephant's goal. He immediately linked with the spiritual force to establish a dialogue with the creature.

“Young man, reveal yourself. You have followed me all this way specifically to find this location, haven't you? Now that we have arrived, why do you continue to hide?” An ancient voice resonated within Zhao Hai’s mind.

Zhao Hai paused, then shifted his position to appear in front of the old elephant. Bowing respectfully, he said, “I greetings, Elder. My following you was born purely of curiosity. I had heard that when elephants reach the end of their lives, they travel to a hidden location. I am simply curious and possess no desire to steal the remains of the Crazed Elephant Clan. Please, Elder, do not misunderstand my intentions.”

The old elephant glared at Zhao Hai and gave a cold snort. “If it were mere curiosity, why trail me for so long? Do you truly believe that because I am dying, I lack the power to handle you? How can a human at the Soul Fusion stage possibly comprehend the true might of my Crazed Elephant Clan?”

Zhao Hai responded swiftly, “Elder, if you can trust me, I can take you to a place where your health can be restored. While you might have to depart from the True Spirit Realm, I can promise that you will not perish.”

The old elephant’s dim eyes fixed on Zhao Hai for a long time before he spoke. “I neglected to mention that I am a Crazed Elephant at the Condensing Spirit Stage. I have lived for more years than I can count and have encountered many humans. Most are consumed by greed, wanting everything they see, especially this place. Yet, I do not sense that greed within you. Perhaps you are skilled at masking it, but it no longer matters to me. I choose to trust one last time.”

“I shall accompany you. However, should you deceive me, I will tear through the fabric of space to return here, no matter where you take me. If that happens, you will face the collective fury of the Crazed Elephant Clan. Young man, do you still wish for me to join you?”

Zhao Hai offered a faint smile upon hearing this. “Senior, after you,” he said, waving his hand to manifest a spatial rift nearby. He wasn't concerned about the rift being noticed, as the overwhelming aura from the elephant graveyard masked any trace of the spatial opening.

The old elephant looked at the spatial rift and stepped inside slowly. Zhao Hai followed, and the rift sealed shut behind them. Immediately, a notification sounded: “Hostile entity detected by the Space. Subduing target. Subjugation successful. Elephant-type creature identified. Genes are nearly perfect. Extracting and fusing genes into all elephant-type creatures within the Space. Fusion successful. Detected life force of the elephant is extremely low. Does the Host permit the entity to die?”

“Do not permit it. Do not let him die,” Zhao Hai commanded instantly.

The system replied, “Request confirmed. The elephant's death is now at the Host's discretion.” The voice faded. Zhao Hai turned to the crazed elephant and stated, “Senior, I spoke the truth.”

The old elephant sighed as he looked around. “My thanks, Young Master. Additionally, your current Cultivation is still quite low. You should cultivate upon the Sacred Elephant Mountain. By absorbing the mountain’s blood Qi, you can obtain the power of the Sacred Elephant, and your strength will reach incredible heights.”

Surprised, Zhao Hai looked at the old elephant. “You are inviting me to practice on the mountain? Would that not result in the mountain's destruction?”

The old elephant shook his head. “It is not destruction. Sacred Elephant Mountain holds a massive reservoir of blood Qi, which is a treasure in itself. It remains undiscovered for now, but if its existence were known, many races and their strongest experts would swarm here to claim it. Such an event would lead to the ruin of the Crazed Elephant Clan, as we cannot defend against every race in this realm.”

“Conversely, your unique physical state allows you to absorb this blood Qi. Once it is gone, Sacred Elephant Mountain will no longer attract unwanted attention, ensuring the safety of the Crazed Elephant Clan. It would take an eternity for our clan to accumulate this much blood Qi again. By absorbing it, you are actually providing a service to the Crazed Elephant Clan.”

Zhao Hai stared in contemplation. “Is that so? But why doesn't the Crazed Elephant Clan simply use the blood Qi themselves instead of letting it build up here?”

The old elephant let out a sigh. “Very few of our kind know this location. We are led here by our bloodline only when death is near. Otherwise, we do not visit. While the blood Qi draws in other races, it does not have the same effect on the Crazed Elephant Clan.”

Though still somewhat puzzled, Zhao Hai believed the old elephant had no reason to lie. He nodded and said, “Very well, I will return to the mountain to cultivate. Are you certain my body can handle the absorption?”

The old elephant confirmed with a nod. “Take in as much as possible. Anyone else would find their bodies detonating from the pressure of the blood Qi, but the Young Master’s physique can endure it.”

Zhao Hai nodded, waved his hand to send the old elephant to the area where other elephant species resided in the Space, and then transported himself back to Sacred Elephant Mountain.

He didn't rush inside, instead choosing to examine the entrance first. The cave looked unremarkable, but Zhao Hai found that his spiritual force was unable to penetrate the interior. The density of the blood Qi was so high that it acted as a total barrier to his mental scans.

Walking slowly into the cave, Zhao Hai was met with a startling sight. Piles of white bones stretched into the distance, as translucent as jade and as elegant as fine ivory.

Preserved perfectly, these bones were everywhere. Zhao Hai could feel the blood Qi pulsing from the remains. He knew that if he used these bones for smithing, he could create high-grade artifacts of immense power. He was essentially standing in a massive vault of wealth.

However, he had no intention of disturbing the remains. While the bones were excellent materials, Zhao Hai wasn't tempted because the Space already provided equivalent resources. He had no shortage of materials if he needed to craft bone-based weaponry.

Finding a spot to sit, Zhao Hai began to slowly circulate his spiritual Qi. He integrated his spiritual force into the flow, curious to see how his body would react.

Through his spiritual force, he felt a tidal wave of power surge into him. Zhao Hai felt as though his body were a balloon being inflated—not gradually, but with violent speed.

He finally understood the old elephant's warning. A normal cultivator, even one at the Diamond Body Stage, would be overwhelmed by the blood Qi of this mountain, resulting in their body exploding from the internal pressure.

But Zhao Hai was an exception. Due to his various divergent abilities, his cells had undergone a transformation. Every cell could undergo crystallization, which not only bolstered his defense but also vastly expanded his energy capacity. This wasn't just a small increase; it was a hundredfold or even a thousandfold expansion.

Zhao Hai immediately directed his body to process the incoming blood Qi. Though the energy surged into him violently, his cells managed to absorb the influx in a controlled manner.

He could sense his cells reaching their limits, each one saturated with raw power. As the energy filled him, his spiritual Qi and spiritual force began to climb at an incredible rate. Far from being a danger, his Cultivation was advancing at a staggering pace.
