Primordial Blood Throne Chapter 47

Primordial Blood Throne: Book 1 Chapter 47 – Entering Deep Red Again

Edited by Owner

On the day of his departure, the whole family – once again – gathered to send him off.

The only difference this time was the unconcealed hate emitted by Su Ke Ji. His courtesy on the surface was gone, and he glared at Su Chen with eyes filled with viciousness and venom. If not for the patriarch’s presence, he might have gone forward to teach Su Chen a lesson on the spot.

Su Chang Che looked at this grandson of his with a complex expression.

After a long while, “Let me ask you one more time, do you still wish to do the Deep Red Discipline? This is your last chance to regret it, if you change your mind now, I can arrange another punishment.”

Su Chen shook his head. “My wish is to go there now.”

“Ok.” The old man sighed. “Since you have decided to enter the Deep Red again, then we will follow the rules properly, I will no longer waive them in consideration of your condition. Deep Red Discipline, the period is one hundred days. On top of that, you must go the Eastern Dawn Peak and collect a crimson blood lotus from its mountain top, it will only open during dawn. It has six petals and releases a strange fragrance. Seal it inside this jade box and bring it back; next, proceed to Hundred Hill Peak and collect an Iron Birch plant, not much is needed, just the middle section between the head and tail. The roots must have knots, while the knots will have thorns, it will be approved as long as the tree wasn’t older than thirty years of age.”

The real Deep Red Discipline required the person to complete certain missions during their exile, by using this method to ensure that the person had travelled within the region and not just hid in a safe corner within the forest.

Last time, Su Chen’s blindness was taken into consideration along that he also initiated to do the Deep Red Discipline in the first place. On top of that, his only mistake was beating up a servant who was unruly to a master, therefore Cu Chang Che did not put up any requests. It also hinted to Su Chen that he should simply pass his time in the forest for a hundred days.

However, Su Chen. having badly beaten up Su Qing, changed the nature of entering the Deep Red this time.

Even if he was blind, Su Chang Che could no longer be lenient.

Requiring a blind man to reach a designated location to obtain a designated item, this would require him to traverse a forest filled with dangers. It would definitely not be an easy task. Su Chang Che wanted Su Chen to know that the Deep Red Mountain Range was not a backyard garden that he could come and go as he pleased, and that it was not a protective talisman that Su Chen could rely on whenever he caused trouble.

It was regrettable though that this talisman was something that Su Chen was determined to get.

“This grandson has remembered.”

After Su Chen replied calmly, he turned and left.

Seeing his departing figure, Su Chang Che felt something strange, as though the Su Family had let something slip at this moment.

As the thought kept lingering, it slowly built up frustration, turning the mood worse by a factor.

With the additional missions given by the family, Su Chen did not take the route he used the last time but chose to immediately head towards the direction of Eastern Dawn Peak.

Eastern Dawn Peak and Hundred Hills Peak were rather famous mountain peaks within the Deep Red Mountain Range. They were easy to locate, basically the southern end and the northern end, therefore requiring Su Chen to risk traversing through a large area of forest to reach both locations. Su Chen decided to keep an open mind and headed off in a strai

ght line, welcoming any possible challenge that he would encounter along the way.

Nothing happened during the first day after entering Deep Red. On the second day, due to advancing in a straight line, a Fiend Beast was encountered, however, it was Middle Grade, and it’s strength was equivalent to a high-level Energy Guiding, forcing Su Chen to immediately turn and run. Fortunately, the beast didn’t specialize in speed, allowing Su Chen to escape safely.

Seeing the bad start, Su Chen knocked himself in the head while reminding himself of the words that Night Charm once said.

And at that, he became more prudent, feeling a tinge of pity that his eyes hadn’t developed a long-range vision ability – an ability where he could see any incoming danger by observing from a given height.

However, after some thinking, won’t he become a person that would just bully the weak as he feared the strong? Moreover, if he kept avoiding danger, it would only impede him from progressing further.

Regardless of the thousands of paths available, increasing his strength was still the path of the king.

There weren’t any more encounters with Medium Grade Fiend Beasts. After his fourth day of entering Deep Red Mountain Range, he met his first Low Grade Fiend Beast of this journey, a Armadillo Beast.

With the aid of four Origin Armaments, Su Chen easily killed the Armadillo Beast.

Blood Slaughter had hacked the beast into two, causing its blood to dye the earth he was standing on.

Circulating the Arrow Frog Absorption Technique, Su Chen began to absorb the dispersing light dots.

As Su Chen expected, the absorption speed had an obvious increase. Previously, of the one thousand light dots, Su Chen could absorb about thirteen to fourteen of them, now with the Arrow Frog Absorption Technique, it had increased to roughly twenty. This also meant that every time he killed a Feint Beast, he could improve by two white stars or 0.2 yellow stars of cultivation. The peak of Energy Guiding is a hundred yellow stars, in theory, he could promote to a new realm after killing five hundred Low Grade Fiend Beasts.

Of course, in reality, the actual amount absorbed would reduce during the conversion of energy, in addition, the Origin Energy density between different Fiend Beasts were also not the same. But even so, it still greatly assisted Su Chen in improving his cultivation.

After verifying the value of using the Arrow Frog Absorption Technique, Su Chen ventured deeper into the mountain range without hesitation.

This was because, the deeper he goes in, the higher the chances of him encountering Low Grade Fiend Beasts.

Initially, it was only one encounter every two to three days, but very quickly, it became multiple encounters of various Fiend Beasts daily.

Su Chen being an official Origin Master, as well as having four Origin Armaments on hand, was very well equipped, if compared within the Deep Red region, not many could contend with him. In a one versus one situation, a Low-Grade Fiend Beast could no longer be a proper opponent, therefore, whenever these type of Fiend Beasts were encountered, they were basically free food for the taking.

However, with the increase in Fiend Beast encounters, all sorts of incidents also began to appear.

Other than Low Grade Fiend Beasts, Su Chen would also encounter the occasional Medium Grade Fiend Beast or a situation facing multiple Fiend Beasts at a time.

Every time that happened, Su Chen had to flee for his sorry life. The Cloud Stepping Boots had thus become the Origin Armament that he had used most of the time.

Night Charm was correct, with an increase in strength, confidence would increase, but the dangers one faced would also increase.

Last time, Su Chen escaped a total of four times but this time, within ten odd days, Su Chen had to escape as much as three times.

This might be a fact of life, but no matter how strong you become, you will always see another mountain in front of you that you were unable to cross.

Facing such a situation, it’s either you stop trying to cross or you never rest till you do.

Su Chen naturally belonged to the latter.

The constant incidents had caused Su Chen to become even more cautious and prudent. Even while he is within the forest, he did not skip his combat and Origin Skill practice.

Maybe it was because of the constant life and death battles arousing the potential within a person, but in a short half a month’s time, Su Chen achieved a breakthrough in his mastery of Spirit Eye. He could now release it normally. However, due to the complexity of Spirit Eye, there was a gap in between each use*.
(Cuppa: Regarding Origin Energy Models, every time an arcane spell was casted, the Origin Model used will disappear along with the spell, therefore, the user must reconstruct the model in his mind to cast the spell again, which leads to gaps between each cast despite being able to release the spell immediate without delay. Origin Energy Runes, on the other hand, were already embedded into the user, thus making it much easier to activate and sustain it. These will be further explained by author in the future.)

In fact, it had a similar trait as Origin Skills that required to be assimilated into the soul. Even if you reach a high level of mastery, it will also be very difficult to activate it constantly.

In the end, obtaining mastery over Spirit Eye had increased Su Chen’s strength. Now, if he encounters two weaker Fiend Beasts, he will be able to handle them.

With the increase in strength, he could handle more of a variety of battles, which in turn led to fewer incidents happening.

With lesser incidents happening, the risk had also decreased, and the spare time he had available had increased. In turn, that spare time was used to further improve Su Chen’s cultivation and increasing his strength. This had thus created a benign cycle of events.

The first month after entering Deep Red Mountain Range, Su Chen had already completed the two missions assigned by Su Chang Che, he had also killed a total of twenty-four Low Grade Fiend Beasts, his cultivation level had also reached seventeen yellow stars while his Spirit Eye’s proficiency had also slowly increased.

What’s different from other people, was that when Su Cthen wasn’t fighting, he would focus his efforts on training his Origin Skills, which in turn, greatly increases his combat abilities.

Today, Su Chen went along as he usually did, eventually discovered a hill. He stood on it to observe his surroundings, hoping to discover Fiend Beasts to hunt.

Just as he was looking about, he saw a person dashing towards him from a distance, behind that person were two Twin-Tailed Multicolored Tigers.
