NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: Guhuo Bird!
In two days, Su Ziyu had roughly figured out the situation in this world.
The secular powers were still led by the Fusang Imperial Family, but the nobility here had long since decayed to a state of utter disregard for the lives of the common people. The power of the samurai class was gradually growing, and it was estimated that it wouldn't take long for the Shogunate Era to begin. Outside the secular realm, power was in a fragmented state, but currently, the Underworld was still dominated by Yama of the Ghost Capital. However, due to the collapse of the Rashomon, many great demons had also claimed territories, declaring themselves kings.
Fusang's history was relatively short.
In the early days, there were no clear records, and even the highest deity of Fusang Shintoism—Amaterasu Omikami—was believed to possibly be Queen Himiko of the first and second centuries AD. Her true identity has always been a matter of debate, as she was a mysterious ancient female ruler and the originator of Fusang's ancient religious Ghost Daoism.
Amaterasu Omikami was the core divine spirit of Fusang, revered as the main deity of Shintoism and also known as the Great Sun Goddess, similar in gender to Queen Himiko.
The "Records of the Three Kingdoms: Wei Chronicles: Records of the Wa People" recorded some things about Queen Himiko.
To date, Su Ziyu had never seen an existence that could be considered a divine spirit in the true sense. The deities here were merely some demons with mana, and the only one that might have legendary strength was the Aobouzu beside him.
However.
There was definitely a Phoenix in this world, and the Phoenix Fire before him was proof. It was a demon born from the Phoenix's nirvana, and its current form was that of a firebird.
"Rise," Su Ziyu said softly, looking down at the Three-tailed Fox in front of him.
Whether or not to deal with Jiutun Tongzi depended on whether he was a source of pollution and if he could provide Su Ziyu with Source Power Value. However, even if he had to act, now was not the time; he needed some time to investigate the situation.
Su Ziyu thought for a moment, looked at the Three-tailed Fox in front of him, and said, "I will come again in a few days."
"We'll talk about these matters then."
Having said that, he looked at the Aobouzu in front of him, cupped his hands in farewell, and said, "That's it for tonight. We'll meet again another day."
Without waiting for the Aobouzu to respond, Su Ziyu directly turned and left.
Aobouzu seemed to want to persuade him to stay but ultimately sighed softly, looking slightly annoyed at the Phoenix Fire beside him.
The existence of Jiutun Tongzi not only threatened other demons but also severely damaged the prestige of the Ghost Capital.
"Now Yama-sama will be angry," Aobouzu said with a headache, rubbing his temples and glaring at the Phoenix Fire beside him. "Why are you still so impulsive!"
Many things had happened in a day's time.
Perhaps Su Ziyu himself was unaware of anything while wandering in Kyoto, but within the Ghost Capital, many deities had already sensed his presence. His spiritual lightning power was regarded by them as Thunder Technique, a formidable force that was extremely restraining to demons.
The Three-tailed Fox of the Cyan Bamboo Forest hated Jiutun Tongzi immensely, and Aobouzu merely went with the flow today. If by chance, Jiutun Tongzi could be eliminated, it would be a great achievement.
Dealing with demons, with ulterior motives, was completely within Su Ziyu's expectations.
When leaving, Su Ziyu took another path.
He once again saw some night patrols, realizing that they mainly patrolled this range, as if guarding against someone.
In a quiet forest.
After confirming there was no one around, Su Ziyu took out the dragon blood he prepared earlier, then began imprinting runes on himself using the dragon blood. As soon as he entered this world, he had been pestered by the Aobouzu, and during the day in Kyoto, it wasn't very convenient. Now out in the desolate countryside, it was the perfect time to perform the Dragon Blood Baptism ceremony.
With large amounts of scalding dragon blood pouring over him, Su Ziyu felt as if he were being burned by flames. His entire skin turned scarlet red, and even the faint glow of flames appeared.
"Ceremony complete!"
"Dragon Blood Baptism advanced to LV3!"
Indeed, using red dragon blood for the baptism proved to be exceptionally powerful, as the Dragon Blood Baptism jumped directly from LV1 to LV3.
——"Dragon Blood Baptism LV3: Constitution +1, Power +2, Charm +1, Fire Resistance +20, with added Strengthen Attributes."
The red dragon was the strongest among the five-colored dragons.
After his last world experience, Su Ziyu's Space-Time Monitor System had gained some extra data, with some abilities starting to show specific value enhancements.
"Very good."
"I wonder what the limit of the Dragon Blood Baptism is?" Su Ziyu felt his skin becoming extremely tough, and his breathing more prolonged.
He thought for a moment and added the 1 point of Divinity Value he gained from the last world into Spiritual Enhancement.
——"Spiritual Energy LV6!"
In an instant.
Su Ziyu felt as if his brain had exploded. He perceived a boundless starry sea, with his consciousness drifting within it. Endless spiritual power was surging, causing the surrounding trees to tremble. He struggled to adapt to the changing power, and with a thought, he floated mid-air.
"Is this Spiritual Energy LV6? So strong!" Su Ziyu had yet to unlock the Spiritual Flight ability, relying entirely on telekinesis to levitate himself.
Such consumption was evidently greater.
Spiritual Energy LV6 seemed to have undergone some qualitative change. Su Ziyu extended his hand towards a large tree ahead, and with a cracking sound, the tree, as thick as a person's thigh, was instantly uprooted, suspended in mid-air.
