Infinite Bloodcore

White Hair Sea Trench.

The Ocean Nest.

Aboard the Deep Sea Monster Fish.

The Fishman youth carefully examined the internal situation of his body.

Silver-colored Fighting energy was accumulating and brewing within him.

Similarly, Silver Level Mana was converging in his personal Mana Pool.

Because he used the Blood Core, his current form was a hybrid of Bolang and the Ghost-faced Fish. His Mana Pool contained not only pale blue Water Element Mana but also light grey Undead Element Mana.

The two kinds of Mana coexisted in one Mana Pool, their boundaries not entirely distinct. At the dividing line, they intertwined and tangled with each other, resulting in minor conflicts and internal consumption.

Generally speaking, a personal Mana Pool of a Dual Magic User should undergo special modifications.

At a minimum, Mana of different factions would be segregated into two distinct spaces.

The construction method for a Mana Pool is collected by more formal Mage organizations. The War Merchant's database certainly includes it too.

However, to modify one's personal Mana Pool would require a great deal of time to practice, and there are many risks involved in the process.

With so little time available, the Fishman youth could only let his personal Mana erode and cancel each other out.

Fortunately, the extent of this internal consumption was not severe.

Because this Mana was the result of his personal meditation, transformed into energy that bore his deep personal imprint.

Had it not been marked by him personally, should the Water and Undead Element Mana directly interact, it would result in a serious Magic Power Conflict. In severe cases, it could even lead to an explosion!

Fighting energy was stored in every inch of his flesh, whereas Mana resided within his personal Mana Pool.

As for Mei Lan Divine Power, it was mainly concentrated in the youth's spirit.

Under the influence of the Blood Core, the soul of the Fishman youth had completely taken on the Fishman form, consistent with his appearance. Engulfed by Mei Lan Divine Energy, his soul received powerful nourishment and transformation.

A small portion of the Divine Power was also distributed throughout the flesh of the Fishman youth and was apparent within his personal Mana Pool.

The Fishman youth observed that this Divine Power interacting closely with his Fighting energy and Mana was not static.

This Divine Power could transform into his Fighting energy or Mana.

Sometimes, it would also devour his Mana and Fighting energy, adding to itself bit by bit.

Divine Power is a very High-grade energy form.

It achieved perfect coexistence with Fighting energy and Mana. Even the closest contact presented no issue.

Divine Power could easily devour and transform the youth's personal Fighting energy and Mana.

Between them, there was no internal consumption whatsoever.

At least, the Fishman youth did not feel any internal consumption as of now.

He had just been about to perform the fourth Desecration Priest ceremony but staggered almost to the point of falling as he reached the cabin door.

Cang Xu immediately rushed over to support his squad leader.

The old Mage used his spiritual power for a check and deduced the reason.

The Fishman youth gained insight and, upon examining himself, slowly opened his eyes and looked towards Cang Xu, "What you said should be correct."

"These blasphemy prayers have increased my Mage Level, and my Divine Officer Level has also skyrocketed to the Silver Level."

"This magnitude of improvement is too great, causing my body and spirit both to need some time to adapt."

"The collapse just now was a spontaneous protection by both my body and spirit working together."

At this point, the Fishman youth sighed, "So for some time to come, I cannot pursue an increase in Life Level."

Extraordinary Cultivation has always been a gradual process.

Because the body and spirit of a Transcendent both need to slowly adapt to Extraordinary Energy, enabling subtle, profound changes to themselves.

Even the Saint Heir and Holy Daughter, who usually seem to possess low Cultivation, can instantly ascend to higher Extraordinary Levels in a crisis when infused with Divine Energy. Essentially, as vessels for the divine, having been specifically selected and cultivated, their bodies and spirits are already prepared, lacking only sufficient energy to catalyze the transformation.

The Fishman youth pondered, "It seems that in the next Desecration Prayers, I need to alter the content, seeking to obtain more Magic Experience instead."

Cang Xu, however, slowly shook his head, "Lord squad leader, you can't do that either."

"Memory is a major factor in shaping the spirit."

"That's why, after death, while the body ceases, the remaining spirit still has personal memory, remembering who one is."

"It's these memories that anchor the spirit to the self, preserving wisdom."

"Once driven by instinct, consuming foreign spirits and thereby absorbing a large number of fragmentary memories of others, it can lead to confusion and misperception. When quantitative change leads to qualitative change, the spirit completely loses self-identity, becoming like a wild beast."

"The Magic Experience you gain from Desecration Priest ceremonies is a special form of memory, isn't it?"

Cang Xu made a compelling point.

The Fishman youth slowly nodded, immediately acknowledging his validity.

He looked up and let out a long sigh, "So my current situation is akin to having eaten too much all at once, feeling overstuffed, and needing time to digest."

"Is there a way to use some other special means to help me digest faster?"

"I remember the War Merchant database contains Acceleration Magic Arrays."

Once again, Cang Xu negated the Fishman youth's idea.

"The Magic Array, even though it can accelerate the target's passage of time, essentially uses the power of magic to achieve this effect."

"As long as it's Extraordinary Power, it still acts upon your body and spirit, Squad Leader."

"At this moment, your body and spirit are being rapidly transformed by Silver Level Divine Power and Mana. Adding other types of magical training is superfluous, and may even backfire."

"In such a case, we can refer to the Dragon Clan."

"Pure giants have a long growth period. During this time, they often sleep without waking."

"For example, Fire Dragons find a volcano crater to hide in and hibernate. Black Dragons often conceal themselves in the deepest parts of the underground world."

"They absorb external Fire Element or Dark Element in their sleep, allowing the elemental power to slowly transform themselves."

"If there were methods like time acceleration, the dragons would definitely use them extensively."

"However, for thousands of years, the Dragon Clan has scarcely used such methods. Before reaching adulthood, they simply sleep without using any external forces to accelerate their growth."

The fact that dragons do this shows that there are no effective methods in the world.

If there were any, they would be extremely harsh to use.

Otherwise, such methods would have become widespread long ago.

The Fishman youth sighed again, "So, Bloodline is indeed the most significant cornerstone for a Transcendent."

"In situations like this, the superior the Bloodline, the better the digestive ability."

Cang Xu complimented, "My Lord, your insight is truly illuminating!"

With this delay, the time had almost come.

Outside the Deep Sea Monster Fish, most of the Mei Lan Believers had already been examined.

Cang Xu had no time left for prayers.

In the remaining time, he could only quickly use a set of Divine Arts on those Mei Lan Believers who were captured aboard the ship.

Of course, Cang Xu would also tamper with their memories.

With truth and false intertwined, Cang Xu was confident that he could deceive Zhou Zhang, ship ghosts, and others.

Not long after, Cang Xu finished all of this and, before leaving, turned to the Fishman youth, "Squad Leader, I plan to take away the idol of the Mei Lan Goddess."

The Fishman youth was startled, then nodded, "That is acceptable."

An idol can store Faith and is also a monitor for the deity. Leaving an idol on the Deep Sea Monster Fish carried an immeasurable risk.

"Take it out. This idol will significantly influence Zhou Zhang and others, and it will be beneficial for you."

Although Cang Xu did not pray this time, his Bloodline Concentration had increased, and his talents were further optimized.

With the addition of this idol, it would certainly make Zhou Zhang and others take a fresh look at him.

As for the Little Prince, he was imprisoned in the Long-Horned Cage just like Ku Feng and Qing Xin, and he believed he was already dead.

Ice Prison City.

The Lijian family gifted the largest storefront on the most bustling street directly to Zi Di and her group.

Zi Di arranged for some reliable people here, extending her reach to control the market in Ice Prison City.

A group of Mages stood quietly in front of the shop, waiting for Zi Di and the others to finish their work.

They wore uniformed clothing, led by five Silver Level Mages, a total of 50 people.

Space Shuttle Team.

This was the Lijian family's Mage battle group, serving a strategic function.

They possessed the technique of collective casting spells and could cast Space Magic to create a Space Shuttle that could transport people and objects.

Because the Space Shuttle could traverse through space, its movement was akin to teleportation.

But the distance was not far.

The specific distance was directly related to the Mana of the Mages.

The higher the Energy Level of the people and objects the Space Shuttle carried, the greater the Mana consumption of the Mages, and the shorter the ultimate distance it could move.

However, combined with a Projection Magic Array, it was a different story altogether.

Unlike a typical Teleportation Array, a Projection Magic Array is a one-way Magic Array that can provide a massive amount of energy for the Space Shuttle.

With this energy, the Space Shuttle's movement distance increased by hundreds or even thousands of times!

It allowed the Space Shuttle to transfer from one city to another.

In the event of a war, if used well, this long-distance transfer capability could change the tide of battle. For example, executing decapitation tactics would be quite convenient.

Undoubtedly, the Space Shuttle Team was the trump card of the Lijian family and similarly an ace in the Ice Sculpture Kingdom!

Zi Di and Zong Ge's visit had the best outcome.

The Lijian family spared no effort in using their trump card to help Zi Di, Zong Ge, and others quickly move within the Kingdom.

Of course, this was also leveraging the Lijian family's power and status.

Having the ability for long-distance transfer alone would not allow for free movement within the Ice Sculpture Kingdom. The Lijian family itself represented privilege, being among the rulers, and thus could use it normally.

Of course, when reaching the strongholds of other powers, they would also send advance notice.

"Let's go, our next stop is Ice Prison City," Zi Di was ready to leave.

"Please wait, there is a secret letter for you." Just as they were about to depart, someone from the Lijian family brought a sealed letter.
