The Hehuan Sect Was Squeezed Dry for Ten Thousand Years, but It Became a Sacred Ground?-Chapter 97
Chapter 97
Ning Chen was already used to the Blood Demon Girl’s peculiarities.
Knowing that these things usually took a while, he went back to watching his drama.
It wasn’t until nearly a quarter of an hour later that the Blood Demon Girl’s aura suddenly sharpened.
After scanning her, Ning Chen couldn’t help but feel surprised again.
[Cultivation: Nascent Soul Stage, First Layer].
???
Even for a physique awakening, this cultivation speed was absurdly fast!
Did she not even need to condense a Nascent Soul?
Turns out, she really didn’t.
The strength of the Blood Demon Clan was determined solely by the purity of their blood essence. They didn’t need to form a Nascent Soul like human cultivators—they simply used the common realm classifications to measure their power.
Finally, Li Yiya slowly opened her eyes. The crimson glow in them faded, returning to their previous ruby-red hue.
Nethersea Blood Physique!
“As long as the Blood Sea exists, the soul shall never perish!”
Li Yiya was ecstatic.
This was a bloodline inheritance from the Blood Demon Ancestor!
And today, she had actually awakened it!
This wasn’t just her ancestors’ graves emitting smoke—this was an outright explosion!
No, it wasn’t just luck.
It was the inevitable result of the gift she had just consumed, which elevated the purity of her blood essence to a certain threshold.
At this thought, she immediately turned to Ning Chen, who was lounging lazily, her face filled with gratitude. She dropped to her knees and kowtowed. freewebnσvel.cøm
“Many thanks, Senior, for bestowing this technique upon me!”
Of course, meeting this Senior wasn’t just her ancestors’ graves emitting smoke—it was them detonating!
Ning Chen nodded, feigning ignorance. “It seems you’ve gained quite some fortune.”
“Yes, Senior!” Li Yiya stood up. “Thanks to your grace, this junior has awakened the bloodline inheritance of my Blood Demon Clan.”
Without hesitation, she focused her mind, and four drops of blood essence separated from her forehead.
The blood essence floated in the air, growing until it transformed into four identical copies of Li Yiya.
Compared to the original, their auras were completely identical.
The most overpowered ability of the Nethersea Blood Physique—Blood Sea Doppelgängers.
By using blood essence to create clones, the highest-quality essence could produce replicas with strength equal to the original.
Moreover, the main consciousness could switch between them instantly.
In other words, these five Li Yiyas could all be clones—or all be the original.
Li Yiya excitedly explained her abilities.
If she had previously submitted out of fear, after witnessing the divine medicine this man had casually given her, she was now wholeheartedly loyal. Why would she hide anything from him?
“Oh?” Ning Chen raised an eyebrow.
A flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of an alternative use for her physique.
“Can your clones also use the Blood Transformation Art?”
“How did you know—” Li Yiya was startled, but she quickly realized how stupid her question was.
For an expert like Senior, recognizing her abilities was nothing strange. Otherwise, how could he have seen through her disguise earlier?
After a brief hesitation, she replied, “Probably… yes? What would you like me to transform into, Senior?”
“For now, just turn into Liu Ruyan,” Ning Chen said casually.
Li Yiya was shocked. “Ah? But that’s the Sect Master!”
Wouldn’t that be blasphemous?
Ning Chen waved his hand dismissively. “Just do it!”
No more nonsense!
“Understood, Senior.” The original Li Yiya stood obediently.
Recalling the Sect Master’s appearance and attire from memory, blood mist soon enveloped one of the clones.
When it dissipated, a stunning silver-haired beauty in luxurious black robes stood before them.
It actually worked?!
Ning Chen was surprised—he had only thrown out the idea casually.
“Turn around twice.”
“Yes, Senior.”
The clone parted her lips, her voice as cold and detached as Liu Ruyan’s. Then, she gracefully spun twice, displaying herself before Ning Chen.
The resemblance was uncanny!
Even though Ning Chen had known Liu Ruyan for over a hundred years and saw her frequently, he was still impressed by the little Blood Demon’s skills.
Photographic memory?
Her observational skills were truly remarkable.
But this wasn’t enough.
“Take off your clothes,” Ning Chen ordered again.
This time, Li Yiya complied without hesitation—all five of her did.
Now, Ning Chen could finally see her full appearance.
Despite being only eighteen, her proportions were impressive, nearly reaching an E-cup.
Previously hidden under the conservative robes of a sect disciple, no one could have guessed her true assets.
What was even more astonishing was their firmness—whether she wore anything or not, there was no sagging, as if defying gravity.
In a world without plastic surgery, this had to be a racial trait of the Blood Demons.
And despite their size, the key points were truly tiny, with barely any areola.
Like a drowning person at sea—barely visible from afar.
A stark contrast against the vast waves, creating an intense visual impact.
Moving downward, her waist was slim yet toned, with faint outlines of abs—a healthy, athletic physique.
The final surprise for Ning Chen?
Red hair down there!
So the “blood” in Blood Demon manifested there too?
He had initially assumed they’d be entirely red-skinned, but it turned out their hair color was the giveaway.
Blue on top, red below—strangely harmonious in an eerie way.
But after a brief glance, Ning Chen shifted his focus back to the clone mimicking Liu Ruyan.
His brow furrowed.
As expected, while it could replicate her face, figure, attire, and voice, the unseen details were purely based on imagination.
Li Yiya had filled in the gaps with her own features, making no adjustments.
Ning Chen was a meticulous man who couldn’t tolerate inaccuracies. He began issuing precise corrections.
“There’s a small mole on the upper left side of the chest.”
“The bust is too big—reduce it slightly.”
“If you’re enlarging the focal point, use red annotations. Make the circle bigger—who can see it like this?”
“Too rigid—reduce the firmness, add softness. When analyzing key issues, you must consider them from multiple angles. Being this one-dimensional is too limiting.”
“The navel should be shallower.”
“I asked for black pine, not red maple groves.”
“Why so pale? More rosy—add some vitality!”
...
Ning Chen’s sharp eyes caught every flaw in the Blood Sea Doppelgänger’s imitation of Liu Ruyan.
Li Yiya took his advice earnestly, making every adjustment without complaint.
Once finished, the replica was now indistinguishable from the real Liu Ruyan—save for fingerprints.
Perfect. Ning Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Now that the exterior was flawlessly replicated, it was time to inspect the interior.
The inside needed a one-to-one recreation as well.
He lay back on the bed, pointing at the Liu Ruyan clone and then at his Soul-Devouring Spear.
“You—get on by yourself.”
Before being recalled, Blood Sea Doppelgängers had independent thought, but they retained all memories from before separation. Thus, this clone was just as reverent toward Ning Chen and didn’t dare disobey.
‘Liu Ruyan’ gracefully climbed onto the bed.
Following Ning Chen’s instructions, she used the universal key to activate the machinery.
However, the initial synchronization took a long time.
In the end, it required a blood sacrifice to fully merge with the demonic sword.
Tight at first, barely accommodating. After advancing dozens of steps, it suddenly opened up.
A unique sensation blossomed in his heart.
“Start,” Ning Chen commanded.
‘Liu Ruyan’ clenched her jaw, suppressing her expression as the machinery officially began operating.
But after adjusting, she soon moved with smooth fluidity.
Listening to the clone’s unrestrained noises, Li Yiya felt a mix of disdain, curiosity, and something indescribable.
Her ruby-red eyes flickered with intrigue.
Was this strange activity really that enjoyable?
Having never experienced it before, Li Yiya didn’t understand.
Back in the Blood Demon Clan, she had never been interested in such things, let alone participated in them.
She didn’t even know what this scene represented.
After a moment of contemplation, she made a bold decision.
Soul Transfer!
In an instant, Li Yiya’s main soul swapped places with the clone’s derived consciousness.
She wanted to see what the fuss was about!
But the moment she did, she was overwhelmed by a tidal wave of sensation.
“Aah—!”
She had learned the hard way: curiosity killed the cat.
The displaced clone soul was displeased, but since Blood Sea Doppelgängers were bound to obey the main soul, it could only watch with resigned resentment.
Some time later...
[Congratulations, Host! Successfully replicated physique: Photographic Memory.].
[Photographic Memory (Purple Grade. Additional 1000 EXP/day.)].
[Ding! This talent has been integrated into the Supreme Yang Divine Body.].
Ning Chen delivered a final strike, ignoring Li Yiya’s limp, lifeless expression. After fully assessing the experience, he pointed out more discrepancies.
“The entrance’s condition determines the flow rate. If the bottleneck is too narrow, filling the same volume of water takes longer.”
“Those with high cultivation must encompass all things. You’re still too shallow—deepen your foundation.”
“Similarly, a mind with depth leads to greater wisdom. You can’t be too flat—like life itself, there must be twists and turns.”
*”And the most crucial point—it’s too hot. Cool it down.”
