Chapter 318 Golden-Red Cocoon
The portal in front of us bestows different qualities of spiritual blood upon the Spirit Crane based on the innate talent of the possessor of the accredited individual it seeks. The scope for judging this talent is very broad; anything possessed by the accredited individual can be left to the portal for judgment.
The higher the portal's recognition of its members, the better the quality of the spiritual blood they bestow. And right now, all he has left is that trace of sword intent that he can offer.
As Shen Xu channeled his sword intent into the pattern, the golden-red light on the portal blazed brightly for a moment, then quickly faded. Seeing that less than a tenth of the figures on the portal were illuminated, Shen Xu immediately understood the purpose of these figures from various races.
According to the sect's assessment, his talent, despite possessing sword intent, did not exceed one-tenth of the others here.
"How can this be allowed!" Shen Xu was very dissatisfied with this scene, so he sent the intent of water, the intent of blood, and even the sword intent into the portal. However, the figure lit up on the portal did not change at all.
"Am I really that bad?" Shen Xu's heart sank.
On second thought, the things he had just sent in were too ordinary and couldn't really make a difference. But should he just give up like that?
He still had the Wood Essence unused, but he always felt that his Wood Essence was a bit strange, not like something he originally possessed. But he couldn't care less about that now; the opportunity was rare, and he had to help Qiling Baihe obtain the best spiritual blood.
Although he was still unable to control the Wood Intent within him, it was the most suitable thing to use to gain the sect's approval, because according to the information he learned in the library, his Wood Intent was probably at a very abnormal level.
He turned to look at the Spirit Crane behind him, but the Spirit Crane seemed indifferent to what kind of spiritual blood it could obtain, and simply watched him quietly.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Xu slowly channeled his wood element into the pattern on the portal.
The instant his wood essence touched the pattern, time seemed to freeze for a moment. Endless golden-red light erupted from the portal like a volcanic eruption, instantly illuminating the entire space.
The sudden burst of intense light instantly turned Shen Xu's vision a crimson red, as if he were staring directly at a blazing sun.
A searing pain surged through his eyes like a tidal wave, as if countless red-hot steel needles were piercing his eyeballs, making him almost cry out.
Instinctively, Shen Xu lowered his head as quickly as possible and tightly closed his eyes. However, even so, the stinging pain did not lessen at all; instead, it became even more intense. Tears uncontrollably gushed from his tightly closed eyes, sliding down his cheeks and forming a bloody tear stain.
Amidst this dazzling golden-red light, a crane radiating its own brilliant golden-red glow slowly emerged from the previously motionless white crane pattern on the gate. It gracefully spread its wings, each feather shimmering with a captivating luster, like a fine work of art.
The golden-red crane circled in the air a few times before suddenly transforming into a streak of light, flying straight towards the nearby Prayer Crane. In the blink of an eye, it merged into the Prayer Crane's body, the two becoming perfectly integrated, no longer separate.
As the crane merged with the spirit, the originally dazzling light gradually subsided and dissipated. Finally, everything returned to calm, with only the faint light remaining on the portal indicating what had just happened.
Although the light had vanished, Shen Xu's tears continued to flow uncontrollably like a burst dam. At that moment, the excruciating pain in his eyes caused him to collapse to the ground in agony, clutching his eyes tightly with both hands, his body trembling uncontrollably from the pain.
Moreover, the sticky sensation on his fingers and the strong, pungent smell of blood filled him with fear; he knew he was likely to lose his eyes.
Just after the Praying White Crane merged into the golden-red white crane, its entire body was enveloped in a dazzling golden-red light, as if it were wearing an incomparably magnificent coat.
At the same time, thick, almost tangible red blood energy continuously overflowed from its body, while the golden-red light from the outside constantly merged into its body.
On the other side, the blood flowing from Shen Xu's eyes seemed to be drawn by a mysterious force, gradually transforming into wisps of blood energy, which slowly merged into the magnificent golden-red coat of Qi Ling Baihe.
At the same time, the golden-red light emanating from the Qiling White Crane, like a lively elf, seeped into the depths of Shen Xu's eyes little by little.
As the golden-red light poured in continuously, Shen Xu could initially feel a stinging pain in his eyes, but this pain gradually lessened at a visible speed.
Gradually, he noticed that the blood in his eyes had stopped flowing, and instead, he felt a warm, comforting sensation, as if a blazing flame was burning in his eyes, or as if something was quietly being conceived within them.
Time slipped by unnoticed, and Shen Xu was so immersed in this wondrous feeling that he was completely unaware of it. He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he could no longer feel even the slightest discomfort in his eyes, he slowly opened them, which had been tightly closed for so long.
To his astonishment, he discovered a completely new world unfolding before his eyes, a world entirely different from what he had experienced before!
The blurry, indistinct scenes of the past have completely vanished without a trace. Everything in the stone chamber is now clearly visible to him, with every detail crystal clear.
He never imagined that the world could be presented so clearly before his eyes.
Moreover, when he turned his gaze to the surrounding stone walls and portals again, he was even more surprised to find that everything was no longer the same as before. The paths of the flow of energy and the various energy nodes in those previously obscure and difficult-to-understand runes were now revealed to him with unparalleled clarity.
The most significant change was to the Qiling White Crane beside him. At this moment, countless golden-red blood energies were swirling around it at high speed, converging into a huge golden-red cocoon of light, completely enveloping the Qiling White Crane.
He could even clearly see three different types of blood energy constantly intertwining and merging within the cocoon of light: two golden-red blood energies, one strong and one weak, and a crimson blood energy. He could sense that the crimson blood energy belonged to him.
Upon seeing this, Shen Xu realized that there was definitely something wrong with his eyes, so he created a water mirror in front of him. To his surprise, he discovered a golden-red eye above the two bloodstains. This eye felt somewhat familiar to him, somewhat like the eyes of the Qiling White Crane.
"Lord Baiyu said that the Praying Spirit White Crane needs to achieve mutual success with its admirers. Could these eyes be a gift from the Praying Spirit White Crane to me?"
With the flow of vital energy from his dantian to his eyes blocked, the world in Shen Xu's eyes returned to its misty state. "My vital energy consumption is too high. It seems I can only use it occasionally. I can't become a red-eyed monster anymore."
