In just a few breaths, the level of the primeval sea rose rapidly.
Jia Jinsheng aptitude jumped from 28% to 51%.
With undisguised excitement on his face, Jia Jinsheng had a sudden thought and quickly mobilized his dark red primeval essence, washing it against the walls of his aperture again and again.
As time passed, the level of the primeval sea continued to fall.
When only about twelve percent remained, the crystal membrane finally reached its limit.
With a sharp crack, the once solid crystal membrane collapsed and shattered, countless fragments falling into the primeval sea and stirring up waves of dark red.
In the next moment, those fragments turned into countless points of white light and completely dissipated.
In their place, a brand new white light membrane formed.
It still emitted the same white glow, but it was far more dazzling than before.
At this moment, through the power of the Blood Embryo Gu, Jia Jinsheng broke through to Rank 2.
Overjoyed, he expelled the remaining twelve percent of bronze primeval essence from his aperture and began to condense a new essence.
First, a faint reddish-brown mist appeared.
It slowly gathered, condensing into droplets, and then merged together, forming a sea of crimson iron primeval essence.
For a Gu Master, the first transformation is bronze green primeval essence, and the second is crimson iron primeval essence.
However, Jia Jinsheng’s essence was different.
His entire primeval sea carried a dark, murky red color from the very beginning, mixed with a strange bloody aura.
This was not pure crimson iron essence, but a corrupted form created by the Blood Embryo Gu.
This kind of primeval essence was far more aggressive, but it came with a price.
Worse still, if left unchecked, it would gradually erode the normal essence within the aperture.
Therefore, other Gu Masters would usually choose a Cleansing Gu or similar methods to remove this kind of foreign primeval essence and restore their aperture to normal.
However, Jia Jinsheng did not do that.
For Blood Path Gu Masters, this dark red primeval essence was not a flaw, but an advantage.
It reduced the consumption when using Blood Path Gu and also helped stabilize the primeval sea that had just been forcefully expanded.
This was one of the strengths of the Blood Path—strong power with low consumption.
Even Gu Masters with poor aptitude could make full use of it.
“The Blood Embryo Gu in the Blood Sea Inheritance is truly extraordinary,” Jia Jinsheng muttered to himself, his eyes flickering.
“It doesn’t rely on my own primeval essence, yet it can raise my aptitude in a short time.
Even this dark red essence… its effect is several times stronger than normal essence.”
His expression slowly turned serious.
“But if this continues, all my primeval essence will be converted into this… and I won’t be able to use Gu outside the Blood Path.”
Although he broke through to Rank 2 with the help of the Blood Embryo Gu, it also meant that Jia Jinsheng was now tied to the Blood Path.
“As long as I don’t expose my Blood Path Gu, no one should be able to tell,” he thought, forcing himself to stay calm.
He had already understood the risks.
But like a gambler who knew the odds were against him, he still chose to go forward, holding on to a thin thread of hope.
“However, the increase in aptitude from the Blood Embryo Gu needs a large amount of Gu Master blood to maintain. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
If not, it will slowly fade away.”
“It seems… I need to find another way.” A faint chill passed through Jia Jinsheng’s mind, and he slowly began to understand why so many who inherited the Blood Sea Ancestor’s inheritance ended up walking the demonic path.
The Blood Path Gu left behind were easy to raise, required little primeval essence, and were especially suited for Gu Masters with ordinary aptitude.
In a world like this, where survival was never certain, who wouldn’t desire greater power, and the status that came with it?
The Blood Sea Ancestor’s Gu offered a different kind of strength.
It was faster, more direct, and far easier to grasp.
Power itself was not evil.
It depended on how it was used.
But when such power came suddenly, how many could truly control it?
It was like a man who set out to slay a demon, only to become one himself.
People spoke of opposing power, yet once given the chance, many would choose to hold it.
Because of this, many Gu Masters who received the Blood Sea Ancestor’s inheritance became ruthless, slaughtering everyone in their path.
Even many who once walked the righteous path eventually turned to the demonic path.
Therefore, Jia Jinsheng felt no real burden in cultivating the Blood Path inheritance.
Many had done the same before him—he was simply following their footsteps.
