Chapter 17 Blood Child

Ji Xiang unfolded the Bitter Sea World, instantly taking all the blood fetuses from this place into it. Within the Bitter Sea World, a hundred thousand lost demons wandered between heaven and earth. These blood fetuses, though born with malevolent natures, were not yet intensely fierce. Furthermore, they had never seen such a terrifying scene. They only saw yellow waves swallowing souls, lost demons wreaking havoc on people's hearts, and the sounds of ghosts crying and gods wailing, faintly and gradually drawing near. From time to time, a great lost demon would wander over, its ignorant face only bearing two narrow eyes, extremely eerie.

These blood fetus children trembled incessantly, the emotion called fear arising. This was the second time they had felt fear since Ji Xiang had displayed his power, and it had already penetrated deep into their bones. The lost demons in the distance stared at them, looking at them as if they were evil things that should not exist in this world.

And within the Bitter Sea, there were two others who also discovered these blood fetuses.

"What are your orders, Honored Lord?"

The young samurai and the old monk saw that the things Ji Xiang had sent in this time were extraordinary, and they had some guesses in their hearts, so they took the initiative to pay their respects.

"You two will take care of these blood fetuses. As for this blood child, I will keep him by my side."

Ji Xiang instructed the two to take good care of these blood fetuses. He had already thought of a new name for these blood fetuses born against the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth: Demon Child.

This Bitter Sea World was like a Demon Kingdom. First, there was the Bitter Sea, then the young samurai and the old monk, these two who had entered the demonic path, then the transformation of a hundred thousand lost demons. After that, the Yin spirit, Da Huangluo, became the master of ghosts and gods, and also had the authority to enter the Bitter Sea. Today, he accepted these demon children, and this Demon Kingdom became even more powerful.

"Honored Lord, forgive me for speaking frankly, but these...blood fetuses, seem to be evil things, definitely not something born from the natural order of heaven and earth, even more bizarre than the creations of Emperor Jinmu."

The young samurai discovered the strangeness of these blood fetuses. Whether from their appearance or aura, they gave people an extremely distorted feeling. Just staring at them for a while made him, a master of the pure Yang level, feel like hundreds of insects were crawling in and out of the acupoints of his body. Getting close made him feel that the circulation of his breath was slightly hindered.

"That's right, these are evil things created by the Yin World. I'm not very clear about their origins, but these blood fetuses have the ability to drink other people's blood and then transform into the original owner of that blood. The more blood they drink, the more similar their transformation becomes, and they can even inherit all the original owner's inherent qualities and abilities."

These words were shocking. Even Miyamoto Musashi, who had been subjected to ghost and god secret techniques by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, couldn't help but change his expression drastically. The young samurai murmured:

"This is no longer the art of ghosts and gods... If Emperor Jinmu were to find out, he would be overjoyed!"

This was simply a heaven-sent body! For Xu Fu, who relied on the form of ghosts and gods to live in the world, having a perfect body to possess was his lifelong desire. Now, in Xu Fu's secret treasure, there were still twenty or so corpses of children left over from the Qin Dynasty. As long as these blood fetuses drank the blood of those Qin children, it would be as if those Qin children were resurrected!

That perfect body could return to the way they looked when they were alive. Those Qin children were carefully selected by Qin Shi Huang to be used by Xu Fu to search for the overseas divine mountains. Their inherent qualities and talents could be said to be the most perfect of all.

"Xu Fu had previously tried to negotiate with the Yin World, and I now have some doubts. Perhaps what he once wanted to get from the Yin World was this kind of blood fetus."

"It must have taken a long time to research this before it could be created. It's definitely not something that could be created in a year or three years. It reverses the laws of Yin and Yang movement, like turning movement and stillness upside down. A person standing still is inherently static, but now static has become dynamic, while running in place instead...."

Ji Xiang's description made it difficult for the two to imagine in their minds. They couldn't imagine how static could become dynamic, while the concept of static existence itself didn't change. What kind of situation was that?

"The shadow of a flying bird, has it ever moved?"

Ji Xiang said casually, causing the two to have infinite reveries.

Perhaps this kind of fantasy that the ancients described might be the best interpretation of reversing the laws of Yin and Yang movement.

"You must teach these blood fetuses well, making them familiar with the affairs of the demonic path, but remember not to let them drink your blood, and always be vigilant against their attacks."

Ji Xiang wasn't sure if these blood fetuses would actively attack others, but from the words of the King of Joseon, it seemed that there was a possibility.

The young samurai and the old monk dared not neglect, and after responding, they dispersed the approaching lost demons. Ji Xiang also instantly disappeared from the Bitter Sea World, taking the blood child away from his Demon Kingdom.

But the blood child was standing stiffly, seemingly afraid to speak.

Although he was ignorant, there were too many beings in that world who could kill him. The lost demons covered the sky and the earth, and each one of them was no less terrifying than him, and most of them were even more so.

He knew that was a dangerous place. He knew even more that if he wanted to continue to preserve his "life" in this world after his birth, then he could only rely on the "great demon" beside him!

"Wait... you can't leave!"

Ji Xiang was preparing to take the blood child away from here, but he didn't expect that the King of Joseon, who had just been stunned by the thunder technique, had actually woken up.

And after Ji Xiang entered the Bitter Sea, he解除了影神的状态 (Jiechule ying shen de zhuangtai, cancelled shadow god state), so he could be seen.

The King of Joseon propped himself up from the ground, covered in mud. His image was constantly switching back and forth between the old man, the young man, the woman, and the original king's image. Finally, with layers upon layers of ghost shadows rising and falling on his body, he successfully returned to his original form as king.

"A mortal, struck by a thunder technique, can actually wake up in such a short amount of time... Which Heavenly Lord did you sacrifice to, Song god...gave you a lot of good abilities, huh."

"So someone was eavesdropping, it's you! Immortal!"

The King of Joseon stared fixedly at Ji Xiang: "When we were in the Gyeongnyeong Hall, the Heavenly Lord said that there might be ears on the other side of the wall. He had already noticed that someone was spying, so he set up a barrier. And what I thought at the time was, if there was anyone in this Joseon kingdom who dared to, and had the ability to spy on the Heavenly Lord, it would only be you, Immortal."

"Immortal, where are you going to take my child? That is my hope for strengthening the country, I'm afraid it can't be taken away by you."

"If the court finds out, will I still be able to live?"

Ji Xiang pressed one hand on the blood child's head: "Your actions have already reversed the rules of heaven and earth. This kind of creation should not appear in the world. Heaven sends thunder to warn, and does not show lightning because Heaven always gives a glimmer of hope to the living beings of the world. If you were to drive it at this time, to go and kill people, or to become a pawn of the Song court, it would eventually turn into a monstrous evil thing. At that time, the sky will rain blood, ghosts will cry at night, bones will be exposed in the wilderness, the world will be in chaos, and your national fortune will not last long."

"The Song court only wants to借尸还魂 (jie shi huan hun, borrow a corpse to revive the soul) in your Joseon, don't be blinded by temporary gains."

The King of Joseon looked crazed and suddenly laughed loudly.
