Everlasting Sea of Blood is a sea well known in the Eastern Sea Region. It is primarily used as a good cultivation resource for cultivators in the Heaven Realm of cultivation. It is where Chu Feng is searching for Qiushui Fuyan, The wife of Huangfu Haoyue. This is also the place where Chu Feng met Little Fishy for the first time even though the latter was in her fake appearance.
“Hehe, young man, it’s the first time you’ve been to this Everlasting Sea of Blood, right?” asked the blind old man.
“Senior, it is indeed the first time I’ve been here. I wonder, why is this place so special?”
“This place has existed since ancient times, and the specific origins of it cannot be tracked down. There are many versions' people talk of: some people say it was naturally formed; some say it was formed by oddities… But my favourite version comes from a legend of the Ancient Era,” said the blind old man as he stroked his snow-white beard.
“Oh? What kind of legend is it? Senior, can you tell me?”
“Hehe, it’s a long story and it may completely overturn your knowledge about the Ancient Era. I’m afraid that even if I speak about it, you still may not believe it and will view me as rambling insane words,” said the old man with a smile.
“The matters of the Ancient Era come from very distant times. As for which are real and which are fake, who can validate them?” Chu Feng smiled, then added, “Senior, there’s no harm in telling me it. I am willing to listen.”
“Haha, not bad. Young man, you’re quite interesting. Since you’ve already said so, I can indeed tell you about it.
“It’s said in the Ancient Era, it was the Ancient Organisms’ world. They viewed other species as slaves, as toys, as pets; but since they were powerful, humans and other species could only remain submissive and live lives even inferior to pigs and dogs under the oppression of the Ancient Organisms. However, many people were not willing to live days like those. Of those people, one was very smart. He intentionally allowed himself to be caught by the Ancient Organisms and became their slave. But, using his intelligence, he very quickly seized their trust and became a servant of the Ancient King.
“In that era, a human obtaining such power and even stood above many Ancient Organisms was a very inconceivable thing. And all of that was because of his intelligence. But his intelligence did not stop there, nor did his ambition stop there. He stayed by the Ancient King’s side as if he couldn’t determine day from night and observed the Ancient King’s cultivation. Finally, one day, he grasped the king’s method of cultivation and created a cultivation method suitable for humans.
“He started to cultivate furtively and quickly gained power that the Ancient Organisms had. Moreover, he discovered another type of power—one that even the Ancient Organisms didn’t have. It was the power to enable one to open a gate to another world, and to call upon that world’s organisms over to theirs. However, that power wasn’t something all people could obtain. One had to have a special type of connection method, and the generations to come named that connection method ‘Spirit power’, and named that power ‘Spirit Formation techniques’,” said the old man solemnly.
“Heavens! From what you’ve said, doesn’t it mean that person was the first person to create the martial cultivation method and Spirit Formation technique?” Hearing to that point, Chu Feng was endlessly shocked because the old man’s words were indeed completely different from what he’d heard. It did indeed overturn his knowledge.
“His power became stronger by the day, and finally, one day, his strength surpassed countless Ancient Organisms, and only the Ancient King could fight against him. He wanted humans to be on an equal level as Ancient Organisms, but obviously, the king was not willing to allow such a thing. So, an unavoidable battle exploded. it’s said that the great battle lasted for several days. The sky and earth truly darkened, but ultimately, the Ancient King was defeated. After the king died, blood sprayed across the sea but for a long time, did not fade away and actually merged together with the seawater, making the sea eternally blood-red. However, the person who defeated the Ancient King also paid a certain price. One of his eyes was taken by the king and could never be restored.”
“Although he lost an eye, it did not make him lose any of his fighting intentions. Instead, it made him see the world clearer. So, he decided to liberate all humans in the world. He no longer wanted humans to stand equally with Ancient Organism. He wanted humans to become rulers of that land, to become the kings in the entire world!
“Thus, he started to pass down to humans the method of martial cultivation and trained a large batch of human cultivators who could fight against and were even more powerful than the Ancient Organisms. They started a campaign from the Eastern Sea Region, and finally eradicated all Ancient Organisms, creating an era that belonged to humans.
“And you are correct. He’s the person who created the method of martial cultivation as well as the Spirit Formation technique. However, his contributions were not only those. His true contribution was changing the fate of humans, so that’s why people of the later generation called him the Fate Primogenitor,” said the blind old man gravely. Moreover, his face was full of solemnity, as if he wasn’t narrating a legend but more of a fact.
“Fate Primogenitor? That means this Everlasting Sea of Blood is the place where the Fate Primogenitor defeated the Ancient King?” After hearing that story, Chu Feng was stunned and even his blood boiled.
The blind old man spoke very vividly, and it was simply as if he was seeing the events of what happened back then again. Because of that, Chu Feng didn’t feel like it was a legend, and felt that it was something that realistically happened. If he could choose, Chu Feng, personally, would be more willing to believe the blind old man’s version, that his was the truth of the Ancient Era.
“Hehe. It is only a legend. Just listen for fun, no need to take it as true.
“But already having this cultivation at your age means that your talent is quite good. Cultivate well; this is a holy land of cultivation.
“Especially to us people in the Heaven realm, it has infinite beneficial effects. However, you cannot cultivate here for extended periods of time. If you feel that your body itches or if there’s a bit of pain, quickly leave. It is fine to come back in a year or half a year.
“Ah, that’s right. Recently, the Everlasting Sea of Blood isn’t too calm. Don’t go too deep in and beware meeting the monster and being caught by it as a cultivation resource. Hehe.” The blind old man chuckled, then turned around and left.
