Chapter 160 – Heavenly Book, Blood God, Ancient Spirit Tribe

This time, Zhao Changhe's feeling was very accurate.

Since the last time he fell asleep in the bathtub at the Cui family's house and had a brief conversation with the blind woman who pointed out the information about the "death of the heavens" and the "heavenly book," she had never appeared again. But this time, she appeared in his dream as soon as he fell asleep.

That time was still in March, and now it's already mid-May. It has been two months since they last met. How many things have happened in between?

He thought she would appear on the day he obtained the golden foil, but she didn't. That was the most puzzling thing for Zhao Changhe. It shouldn't be like this...

Fortunately, his judgment this time was correct. She really came.

Zhao Changhe had a rough idea in his mind. This time, it was probably because of the Sword Emperor's Tomb... and Sisi.

Zhao Changhe felt that Sisi had many secrets. The so-called princess of a different race was just a saying, not to be taken too seriously. He believed that Sisi must have some connection to the previous era... And with the Sword Emperor's Tomb right in front of them, the frequency of probing into the previous era was becoming more intense. It would definitely attract the attention of the blind woman.

However, unlike before, the blind woman was far away this time, high up in the sky.

It seemed that each time they met, they were getting farther and farther apart. He remembered that he could still touch her hand a long time ago, but the last time, she was already hanging in the night sky. And this time, she was even farther away, like a dream within a dream, unclear.

Zhao Changhe was a little annoyed and coldly said, "Since you're here to communicate, why pretend to be so far away?"

The blind woman sighed, "Since it's communication, you can hear me and I can hear you. Isn't that enough? In fact, when you see me in your dream, I don't even need to reveal my form to have a direct conversation. Revealing my form is just to make you more accustomed to it."

Zhao Changhe sensitively caught her meaning and asked, "So, in the future, you might directly communicate with me in the void?"

The blind woman didn't say anything. Zhao Changhe's detailed analysis and keen insight during his trip to Jiangnan surprised her. These were qualities that he hadn't had enough stage to display before, but now they were fully revealed.

To explore the secrets of the era, relying solely on martial prowess was not enough. He was really too suitable for it.

This novel is available on "pawread.com".

It seemed that she should tell him more in-depth.

Zhao Changhe said, "Alright, since you're here, and I won't touch you, it doesn't matter how far away you are. Since you entered my dream, you should know that I have a lot of confusion. Can you answer them?"

The blind woman directly said, "That golden foil is indeed a page from the heavenly book, but it is sealed quite heavily."

"If it's sealed, why did it start to unseal itself? Is it just a coincidence that it started unsealing when I obtained it?"

"Of course, it has something to do with your actions." The blind woman hesitated for a moment and couldn't hold back anymore. "How did you come up with the idea of using that kind of thing to wipe the heavenly book?"

"... Is it really related to that? This method of unsealing is quite special."

"Who told you that this is a method of unsealing?" The blind woman said impatiently, "The heavenly book has a spirit and it felt a strong sense of humiliation! Previously, there was no reason for it to go crazy and break through the seal, but now there is. When it is completely unsealed, the first person it will kill is probably you!"

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Does that mean that your long absence from seeing me, especially that night, and the distance between us when we meet now, are also related to this?

Although the blind woman had denied her connection to the heavens before and said that she had nothing to do with the rankings and positions in the Chaos Chronicles, Zhao Changhe still couldn't dispel his doubts. He always felt that she was related to it. If she is the spirit of the Chaos Chronicles, did he inadvertently offend her?

This thought was quite enjoyable. He should offend her more in the future.

Of course, he couldn't say this speculation out loud. Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment and changed the topic, "What do you think of the Sword Emperor's Tomb?"

"He does indeed have the possibility of revival..." The blind woman paused for a moment and her tone became unusually serious, "Don't do anything stupid to provoke his early revival. What the Lu family is doing is truly seeking death, not only for themselves but for all of China."

Zhao Changhe asked, "Do you care about it too?"

"I don't care." The blind woman's seriousness dissipated and she smiled, "I care about you, can I?"

"If I'm about to die, will you help me or not?"

"If you're going to die, then it's not worth caring about."

"... " Zhao Changhe wasn't surprised by this answer. He didn't get angry like before and calmly said, "Then what are the key points of the Sword Emperor's Tomb? Can you give me a hint?"

The blind woman fell silent for a moment, seemingly amazed by his growth. After a while, she said, "Follow the ancient spirit tribe woman by your side. She knows the burial style and mechanism of the previous era better than anyone in China."

Indeed, the blind woman didn't bother to conceal anything that had nothing to do with her. She didn't care about secrets that didn't concern her.

"The ancient spirit tribe..." Zhao Changhe asked, "What is that concept? It doesn't sound like a normal race."

"If we talk about spatial fragmentation, is it possible that there are some livable spaces, like the small sword room at the bottom of the ancient sword lake or the vast tomb beneath the tiger hill, where people have been living from ancient times to the present?"

Zhao Changhe narrowed his eyes.

If that's the case, there might be more than one tribe.

There might even be organizations like powerful forbidden areas...

What kind of nature does Sisi, this ancient spirit tribe, belong to...

"They might be strong, but they might also be weak. They might have hidden treasures, or they might have nothing. You'll have to explore these details yourself. I'm not here to be your tour guide." The blind woman slowly said, "But I can tell you that if we say that today's China is disconnected from the previous era, these are the links that connect the two."

Zhao Changhe calmly said, "I could have guessed that even if you didn't say it."

The blind woman said, "Since you're so clever, can you guess what the bloodthirsty bead is for?""I've learned about the two things I wanted to know the most, the Heavenly Book and Sisi. Do you think I must know about the Tomb of the Sword Emperor and the Bloodlust Pearl?"

The blind woman choked for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Seeing her rare loss for words, Zhao Changhe felt a hint of schadenfreude, and teased, "If you want to tell me, then tell me. If not, then forget it. We're all friends here, aren't we..."

The blind woman was silent for a moment, but didn't take offense. Instead, she explained, "This pearl is of no use to your Blood Killing Technique because it was formed from the dying resentment of tens of thousands of beings. Although it contains a murderous aura, it is mostly filled with hatred, resentment, malice, unwillingness, and regret. Prolonged contact will only affect your temperament."

Zhao Changhe secretly thought that Sisi's judgment was incredibly accurate. It was one thing for her to understand the previous era, but to know so much about things like bloodlust was surprising. What exactly did her ancient spirit race study?

The blind woman continued, "You cultivate the killing intent for the purpose of honing your Blood Killing Technique, not for these things. Therefore, it's not suitable for you. Even the intent of killing for enlightenment like Maitreya's is not very applicable... However, if you have a way to block other auras and extract the killing intent alone, then it would be useful."

This was why Tang Wanzhuang thought that although the item might be disappointing, it wouldn't be completely useless.

Damn, all the women he knew seemed to know everything, while he was still a newbie after all his efforts.

Zhao Changhe said irritably, "So, you're here to teach me this extraction method?"

"You don't need to learn the method from me. Perhaps that woman surnamed Tang has some ideas. She's not weak." The blind woman said, "The reason I'm telling you all this is because the origin of this pearl is related to you."

Zhao Changhe was stunned. Even though he had been quite sharp in solving cases recently, he couldn't figure out how this thing could be related to him.

But then he heard the blind woman say, "This is one of the array stones used by an ancient demon god to set up a deadly array. With his fall, the array also disintegrated, and part of its main body was obtained by people today. They felt the power of the demon god and worshipped him, following his thoughts and will, and compiled a set of extremely deadly techniques."

Zhao Changhe's heart stirred.

"That's right, it's the Blood God that the Blood God Sect worships. This is his item." The blind woman said leisurely, "The Blood God Sect's inheritance is clearly very good, but they have never produced any remarkable figures. It's not just because the practitioners are not good enough, but also because they lack a lot of things."

"I see..."

"This pearl is just a piece of inlay material. It doesn't mean much on its own. Even Maitreya didn't know what to do with it when he got it. But if it's returned to the Blood God Sect, it would be of great significance... However, it's a pity that they might be lacking too much, and a single pearl can't make up for it..." The blind woman's voice gradually faded as she disappeared, "We've talked too long this time. Let's leave it at that. If there are more interesting things next time, I'll come again."

Her voice lingered, but she was already gone.

Zhao Changhe opened his eyes, and it was already broad daylight.
