The next day, a bell echoed throughout the Blood God Sect.
“Dang dang dang dang dang…”
Zhang Chen, who was practicing his spells in seclusion, opened his eyes. “What’s going on? The disciples are being summoned again.”
With doubts in his mind, Zhang Chen stopped practicing and turned into blood light, flying towards the square.
Usually, only when something big happens in the sect, the bell calling for disciples to gather would ring.
Soon, Zhang Chen arrived at the square.
After the battle with the Silver Moon Sect, the number of direct disciples had significantly decreased.
Zhang Chen found an acquaintance in the crowd and asked, “Senior Sister, do you know what’s going on?”
Senior Sister shook her head. “No idea.”
Zhang Chen looked around and realized that everyone was confused. They were asking each other. Obviously, no one knew why the sect was calling for a gathering this time.
After a while, seven figures emitting the aura of the Golden Core Realm appeared in front of everyone.
“It’s Eldest Senior Brother!” Second Senior Sister and the others could not help but exclaim.
Zhang Chen looked up and saw Hong Longguang.
Although he looked younger, he could still recognize him at a glance. This was Hong Longguang.
Isn’t Eldest Senior Brother already dead?
Zhang Chen was surprised. The Bloodline Jade Pendant would only activate after death. Why would a dead person appear?
Upon closer observation, Zhang Chen found that the Hong Longguang on the platform had a vacant look in his eyes, with no radiance. Obviously, he was just a puppet.
To be safe, Zhang Chen used the Seven Emotions Secret Technique to check and found that there was no emotion emanating from Hong Longguang’s body.
It could be confirmed that the Hong Longguang in front of him was just a puppet under someone’s control.
The other direct disciples didn’t know that Hong Longguang was already dead, so they didn’t dare to stare at the Golden Core Realm. Therefore, none of them noticed.
On the platform, Elder Blood Flame spoke, “Today, the disciples are called because we want to announce something.”
Everyone remained silent, not daring to make a sound.
Elder Blood Flame continued, “Yesterday, our sect’s disciple, Hong Longguang, successfully condensed his Golden Core and was promoted to become a Golden Core Elder. He was specially given the title Blood Light!”
“We disciples pay respect to Elder Blood Light!” Everyone saluted and bowed, and their voices echoed throughout the sect.
Some of the disciples were even more excited. Their eyes were filled with yearning as they imagined themselves becoming elders.
Elder Blood Flame nodded in satisfaction. “The affairs of the sect are in order.
Elder Blood Light will be sent out to establish a new town.”
Hearing this, Zhang Chen finally understood the goals of the elders.
The Blood God Sect really exploited the value of its disciples to the extreme!
“For every additional elder, the sect will prosper. You must work hard to practice, break through the Golden Core Realm, become an elder, and revitalize the sect!”
“We will work hard to practice and revitalize the sect!”
“Okay, you may leave.”
After achieving their goal, the elders did not linger and disappeared in a flash of light.
“I never thought that Brother Hong would become a golden core elder and even have complete control over a district market!”
“I wonder when I can break through to the Golden Core stage.”
The disciples discussed spiritedly. Some were envious, some were jealous, and of course, there were also some who were suspicious, but they did not say it out loud.
The most excited ones were Zhang Chen’s senior brothers.
“It’s great that Eldest Senior Brother has become an elder. How about we visit
Eldest Senior Brother together later?” Fifth Senior Brother suggested excitedly.
“Alright, we’d better prepare some gifts as congratulatory gifts,” Fourth Brother agreed.
“Eldest Senior Brother will definitely need help establishing the new market, so why don’t we offer to assist?” Second Senior Sister proposed.
Looking at his excited senior sister and senior brothers, Zhang Chen didn’t reveal the truth and said at an inappropriate time, “Senior Brothers and Sisters, I have something to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”
After speaking, Zhang Chen didn’t wait for their response and transformed into a blood-red light, disappearing.
“Seventh Junior Brother…” The few people were surprised by Zhang Chen’s behavior.
Second Senior Sister waved her hand and said, “Seventh Junior Brother has mastery over the blood essence channel. He’s proud and doesn’t want to please Eldest Senior Brother. It’s understandable, so let’s mind our own business.”
Back in his cave, Zhang Chen continued to study the Blood Shadow Avatar Technique.
After a day of research, he had figured out the way the technique worked and was ready to begin practicing.
First, he used a secret technique to split his soul into two.
“The body has a soul. Myriad Qi is fundamental. Unseen, unheard, reflected upon my body. Split in two, and reveal my magical powers!”
As the incantation ended, Zhang Chen felt a painful tearing sensation in his soul.
It hurts!
It hurts!
It hurts so much!
This pain was different from physical pain. It was indescribable. Moreover, as his soul continued to tear, the pain only increased.
“Ah-‘t Zhang Chen could not help but scream in agony.
At that moment, he even had thoughts of giving up.
“No, I can’t give up! I have a modifier, I’m already better off than everyone else.
If I can’t bear this pain, what’s the difference between me and trash?”
Zhang Chen was sweating profusely. His face twisted in pain as he gritted his teeth.
Because he clenched his teeth so hard, his gums were bleeding, and blood flowed from his mouth, making him look terrifying and pitiful.
Five days later.
“Thud…
A sound of tearing fabric echoed in Zhang Chen’s mind, and the pain instantly disappeared, replaced by a strange sensation.
The consciousness in his mind had split into two.
It was like looking at a mirror, but it was also different. It was an indescribably strange feeling.
Because of the modifier, the split soul did not produce a second personality, so the consciousness of the two souls remained unified.
After successfully splitting his soul, the next step was to split his body.
Zhang Chen’s body squirmed and turned into blood, exactly the same as the Blood God Son.
Immediately after, a blood tumor grew out of his neck and injected the split soul into the blood tumor.
The blood tumor kept twisting and squirming, gradually revealing its facial features.
Looking closely, it was identical to Zhang Chen.
The new head struggled hard, seeming to want to escape from this body.
As the head continued to struggle, the body was torn apart, with many blood vessels connecting and stretching longer and longer. It was like a conjoined twin being forcibly torn apart.
Terrifying!
After a day, Zhang Chen’s body finally split into two.
Then the blood body wriggled violently, completing the missing limbs.
Soon, two identical Zhang Chens appeared in the cave abode.
“Is this the Blood Shadow Avatar?”
Both Zhang Chens spoke at the same time, examining each other.
So this is how others see me!
It was his first time seeing himself from a different perspective, which was quite novel.
With a thought, one body used the Blood Spirit Technique while the other used the Blood Devouring Demon Technique.
“Not bad. I wonder if we can use a combination spell like this.”
Zhang Chen had another idea. He was now at the third level of Foundation Establishment. If he could use a combined spell with his avatar, he could unleash the attacking power of the fifth level.
The cave was not convenient, so the two Zhang Chens went outside. “Heaven and Earth Combined!”
Both Zhang Chens gathered their magic power and slapped their palms together.
“Boom!”
With one strike, a huge pit appeared on the ground in the distance.
“Indeed we can.” Both Zhang Chens smiled..
