Wu Shattered Star River

After waiting for about half an incense stick's time, Jiang Han's energy and blood calmed down. Immortal Lord Wuyun had been sensing it, and he looked somewhat disappointed.

Jiang Han's energy and blood had become stronger, but there were no signs of his bloodline awakening.

The War God bloodline hidden within Jiang Han's body had not strengthened and was exactly the same as before. This indicated that the Blood Soul Pill might not be very helpful for awakening bloodlines.

At this moment, Jiang Han opened his eyes. He had just sensed it for a while and discovered that his energy and blood had increased several times, and his physical body had also strengthened a lot.

Other than that, there were no other changes.

Jiang Han was somewhat disappointed, but Immortal Lord Wuyun quickly reacted and comforted him, "Young Master, don't be anxious. You should refine the remaining Blood Soul Pills first, and maybe there will be some changes?"

"Alright!"

Having had the experience of refining the first one, refining the Blood Soul Pills later should not be so uncomfortable. Jiang Han rested for a moment, then took out another Blood Soul Pill and began to refine it.

This time it was still very uncomfortable, but not as terrifying as before. It took one and a half incense sticks' time to completely refine the pill. His physical body continued to improve, and his energy and blood also became stronger, but his bloodline still did not awaken.

"Continue!"

Jiang Han rested for a moment and continued refining. He planned to refine five pills.

If it had no effect, he would refine the remaining five later and treat them as pills to enhance his physical body. The medicinal power of this pill was very strong; one pill was probably comparable to the essence blood of several Crimson Flame Golden Lions.

Soon, all five Blood Soul Pills were refined, but the bloodline did not awaken.

After Jiang Han finished refining, Immortal Lord Wuyun said, "Maybe the Blood Soul Pills are not working. Young Master, why don't you try refining some Immortal Beast essence blood and see?"

"Hmm… okay!"

Jiang Han hesitated for a moment, mainly because he was afraid that the Heavenly Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit would secretly steal his essence blood.

However, he had an agreement with the Heavenly Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit that it could only devour 100,000 drops of essence blood per year. He had already given it 70,000 drops of Crimson Serpent essence blood last time, so this year's agreement had been completed.

Moreover, the essence blood that Immortal Lord Wuyun brought was only from ordinary third-order Immortal Beasts, so the Heavenly Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit probably wouldn't act rashly, right?

He took out some essence blood and began to refine it. After refining dozens of drops, he felt relieved.

The Heavenly Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit did not embezzle the essence blood. Perhaps it had refined 70,000 drops of Crimson Serpent essence blood last time and was currently digesting it, having already fallen asleep?

After the essence blood entered his body, the Heavenly Beast Cauldron easily absorbed it and then converted it into pure energy, allowing Jiang Han to continuously absorb it.

After waiting for a while again and seeing that the essence blood was not being embezzled, Jiang Han began to speed up.

"Ugh…"

Seeing Jiang Han refine five drops of essence blood in one breath and immediately take out more essence blood to continue refining after finishing, Immortal Lord Wuyun was somewhat worried.

He said, "Young Master, don't be too hasty. This third-order Immortal Beast essence blood is very overbearing. The essence blood contains baleful aura, which will affect your soul. Refine it slowly, there's no rush."

After hearing this, Jiang Han chuckled. If he were refining essence blood normally, he would definitely not dare to be too fast.

Essence blood was very violent and also carried a strong baleful aura. However, he was not refining the essence blood himself, but the Heavenly Beast Cauldron was helping him refine it. The energy converted by the Heavenly Beast Cauldron was very pure, and he absorbed it very easily without any side effects.

He opened his eyes, smiled, and said, "Brother Wuyun, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Jiang Han continued to refine quickly, able to refine five drops in two breaths. In one hour, he refined nearly 20,000 drops. Moreover, the baleful aura on his body did not increase at all, which made Immortal Lord Wuyun secretly amazed.

Jiang Han's physical body had improved a lot again, but there were no signs of his bloodline awakening.

Immortal Lord Wuyun was not in a hurry either. Jiang Han should have refined a lot of essence blood before. If it could be awakened so easily, it would have awakened long ago.

"Young Master, slowly refine it. I'll go back first!"

Immortal Lord Wuyun instructed, "Young Master, don't be too hasty. Just refine it slowly. I'll go find some more pill formulas, and I'll also collect some more materials for the Blood Soul Pill."

"The War God bloodline may be too overbearing, requiring a lot of accumulation. It may also be… that your physical body is not strong enough to withstand the War God bloodline, so the bloodline has not awakened. We'll take it slowly."

"That makes sense!"

Jiang Han nodded. Such a powerful bloodline did indeed require a strong physical body to carry it. If the physical body was too weak, the bloodline awakening might cause the physical body to explode?

"Brother Wu, go back. I'll slowly refine it myself. If there are any situations, I'll notify you!"

Jiang Han nodded. Immortal Lord Wuyun's body flashed and disappeared, while Jiang Han continued to refine the essence blood.

He secluded himself in the room for several days and nights, refining all the essence blood.

"Strong!"

Jiang Han sensed it and found that his physical body had become several times stronger again. Now, probably even ordinary Heavenly Immortals could not break through his defense. Only Heavenly Immortals at the peak like Yu Hong could possibly injure him.

He rested for two days, then began to refine the Blood Soul Pills. This pill was very precious, and if he sold it, it would probably be worth a lot. But he was not short of immortal stones. If he sold the immortal stones, wouldn't he just buy immortal medicines for body refining?

He refined the remaining five pills in one breath, and his energy, blood, and physical body were further enhanced.

However, as his physical body became stronger and stronger, the rate of growth began to slow down.

This was also normal. The stronger the physical body became, the more resources were needed to improve it, and the higher the level of resources needed.

Now, if he were to refine second-order Immortal Beast essence blood, the rate of growth would probably be negligible. If he refined first-order Immortal Beast essence blood, he might not be able to grow at all, right?

He refined the Solid Pill and found that the rate of growth had become negligible.

"The strong are all built up with resources!"

Jiang Han sighed secretly. His physical body was only comparable to a late-stage Heavenly Immortal. If it were comparable to an Immortal Lord realm, how many resources would be needed?

Above that, there were Immortal Venerables, Immortal Kings, and Immortal Emperors. If his physical body were to be promoted to the late stage of Immortal Venerable, perhaps even all the resources of the entire Wushan Immortal Kingdom would not be able to support him?

"No wonder warriors go to higher-level Immortal Kingdoms after they improve. The resources of low-level Immortal Kingdoms simply cannot support them! Without resources, how can one become stronger?"

Jiang Han pursed his lips. The Heavenly Court's system was very cleverly established.

Low-level warriors who want to go to higher-level Immortal Kingdoms need to pay a huge price. But if you want to become stronger, you need to move up step by step, going to higher-level Immortal Kingdoms.

If they are not exceptionally talented geniuses, then they will not be able to break through the layers of shackles in their lifetime. Ordinary warriors, throughout their lives, will probably only go to third-rate Immortal Kingdoms at most. Being able to go to second-rate Immortal Kingdoms is already considered heaven-defying, right?

Tens of thousands of Immortal Kingdoms are like prisons, trapping countless Immortals in Immortal Kingdoms, making it impossible for you to escape, impossible to run away, and impossible to break free.

Only those peerless and heaven-defying powerhouses have the opportunity to step up step by step, eventually securing some high-ranking positions in the Great Immortal Kingdom or the Heavenly Court.

In this way, the Heavenly Court's rule is extremely stable because no one among the vested interests above will subvert the Heavenly Court's rule.

Those powerful clans, for the benefit of their own families, must be loyal to the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, once the Heavenly Court collapses, they will also be finished.

The entire Heavenly Court is an invisible spider web, and those large and small Immortal Kingdoms are like spider silk, trapping countless Immortals within it, making it impossible for you to escape, impossible to run away, and unable to break free.

"No wonder some of my father's subordinates betrayed him…"

Jiang Han touched his nose. Although nearly half of the Heavenly Court's powerhouses were once Jiang Henshui's subordinates, these people have all become vested interests.

If Jiang Henshui had the opportunity to kill the Jade Emperor and subvert the rule of the Heavenly Court, then many powerhouses might have rebelled with him.

It's just that the Heavenly Court's rule is extremely stable, and following Jiang Henshui, there is no hope at all. On the contrary, the entire clan may lose their heads, so it is very understandable that many subordinates betrayed him.

… …

Time passed quickly, and half a month passed. Jiang Han had been secluded in the courtyard, and on this day, Immortal Lord Wuyun came again.

He brought good news: his people had already bought the immortal medicine to repair the soul.

"Good!"

After receiving the news, Jiang Han was immediately excited. Bu Shi and King Beishang could finally be resurrected.
