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.
However, he was still wary.
If his Blood Path cultivation were exposed, it would attract pursuit.
In the Southern Border, there were powerful forces that despised the Blood Path, following a harsh rule—better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.
There was a reason why this super family was so wary of the Blood Path.
Ever since the death of the Blood Sea Ancestor, from time to time, demonic Gu Masters who controlled Blood Path Gu would appear and stir up chaos.
Some were quickly suppressed, wiped out within their own mountain clans.
Others managed to rise for a time, gaining power and spreading their influence across the surrounding regions.
But whether they succeeded or failed, they all left something behind.
In desperate times, they would pass on their inheritance, unwilling to let it end with them.
Because of this, the blood feud never truly faded.
It did not weaken with the death of the Blood Sea Ancestor, nor with the repeated suppression from the righteous path.
Instead, it continued to spread, taking root again and again, as if it could never be completely erased.
So much so that many from the righteous path often cursed in anger, “These damned Blood Path Gu Masters!
I clearly remember killing them wave after wave, yet if I’m not careful, another group appears out of nowhere.
They’re endless!”
Because of this, that super family, which prided itself on guarding the Southern Border, held an especially deep hatred for the Blood Path.
But then came the real problem.
How could he obtain a Gu Master’s blood quietly, without leaving any trace?
Jia Jinsheng closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, thinking carefully.
Although he now possessed several Blood Path Gu and had reached Rank 2, with their help, even an ordinary Rank 2 middle-stage Gu Master would not be his match.
However, compared to most of the caravan members, he was still far too weak.
I’ll let someone else do it—kill a Gu Master in the caravan and take the blood.”
Blood was not something that could be obtained peacefully.
Jia Jinsheng knew that well.
He licked his dry lips, his mind already set.
His cultivation was not high, but he had followed the caravan for years.
He understood its weaknesses better than most.
And that made it the perfect chance to use someone else to do the killing.

As night fell, a cold chill settled over the land, frost clinging to the grass.
The Gu Masters were already asleep, and the mortals rested beneath the thick hides of the black-skinned beetles, drawing a bit of warmth from their bellies against the cold night.
Inside the central tent, Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, carrying out his daily cultivation.
Splash, splash… he focused his mind and activated the Gu within his aperture.
With a low rumble, a Gu shaped like a beast’s skull opened its jaws and spat out a stream of blood like a small waterfall.
Without a doubt, this was a Blood Path Gu.
Lin Feng was also a Blood Path Gu Master.
The blood fountain released by the Gu was deep red, yet carried a strange fragrance.
It fell from above the aperture and crashed into the Lin Feng silver primeval sea, quickly spreading through it and turning the entire surface into a sea of blood.
Under normal circumstances, a Rank 3 Gu Master’s primeval essence is silver.
At the initial stage, the silver light is thin and faint, forming only a shallow layer—this is a pale silver primeval essence.
At the middle stage, the silver becomes richer and more mixed, uneven in density, and is known as silver flower primeval essence.
Upper stage primeval essence becomes uniform in color, bright and clear.
It is known as bright silver primeval essence.
At the peak stage, it became silvery-white, almost snow-like in color, and was called snow silver primeval essence.
As a Rank 3 Upper stage Gu Master, Lin Feng possessed bright silver primeval essence, and his primeval sea was naturally of the same quality.
Instead, he deliberately used his Gu to transform it into blood-colored primeval essence.
Under Lin Feng control, the crimson sea surged with waves.
Layers of blood-colored ripples rose and fell, forming patterns like blooming flowers as they washed against the walls of his aperture again and again.
This is the cultivation method of Gu Masters in this world.
By continuously washing the aperture with the primeval essence from the primeval sea, the aperture walls are tempered again and again, becoming thicker and more stable.
From the light membrane to the water membrane, then to the ice membrane, and finally the crystal membrane—these correspond to the initial stage, middle stage, upper stage, and peak stage.
Lin Feng aperture was originally at the ice membrane stage.
Although water condenses into ice, it is still fragile.
But through constant refinement and accumulation of essence, it gradually undergoes a qualitative change.
After repeated washing by primeval essence, the fragile ice membrane finally transformed, becoming a crystal membrane that was clear, solid, and far stronger than before.
The crystal membrane shone brightly, its durability far surpassing that of the ice membrane.
With this, Lin Feng cultivation rose from Rank 3 upper stage to Rank 3 peak stage.
After that, Lin Feng began to expel the remaining blood-colored primeval essence from his primeval sea.
Although this essence had been processed by the Essence Blood Gu and would not pollute the aperture, it would still hinder the recovery of the primeval essence within it.
“Hehehe, as expected, raising a few blood slaves makes cultivation much faster than cultivating on my own.
In such a short time, I’ve broken through from Rank 3 initial stage to Rank 3 peak stage.” Lin Feng grinned, revealing a sinister smile.
A figure flashed in his eyes—it was Jia Jinsheng.
“The others, through the bloodline inheritance I arranged for them, have successively cultivated to Rank 2, and even Rank 3.
Jia Jinsheng, I hope you’ll work hard too, and don’t disappoint me!”
It turned out that Jia Jinsheng’s Blood Sea inheritance was not left by the Blood Sea Ancestor, but was specially arranged for him by Lin Feng.
The true teachings were further censored and altered by Lin Feng.
As long as Jia Jinsheng used the Gu in those teachings to cultivate, Lin Feng could, through methods he had prepared in advance, extract the results of that cultivation and even his life essence.
Lin Feng was not, as Jia Jinsheng had imagined, a lucky inheritor of a Rank 3 Gu Master’s inheritance.
Instead, he was a soul from Earth, a reader of Reverend Insanity, or, in this world’s terms, an otherworldly demon.
