Chapter 63: What The Hell?

The Hu Sisters travelled around for quite some time, trying to find a secluded spot for them to absorb the Blood Beads that they had just collected.

In this isolated area, there was no safe place as everyoneboth cultivators and monster beasts, were their enemies, so to find a secluded spot and quickly absorb the Blood Beads was the best course of action.

After hiding in the centre of a hollow tree, the Hu Sisters started absorbing the Blood Beads, making sure to keep vigilant of their surroundings for any changes while doing so, starting with the Blood Beads from the Phantom Lightning Wolves, circulating their Sibling's Divine Art.

In case Hu Mei'er were to have a breakthrough after absorbing the Blood Beads, Hu Jiao'er decided to set up a barrier to conceal the fluctuations of her little sister's breakthrough.

"The energy is so easy to absorb."

Just after a few minutes of circulating their Secret Art, the Blood Bead from the Phantom Lightning Wolves had disappeared, adding to the Hu Sisters' strength.

"Focus on absorbing the rest as quickly as possible, Mei'er."

Although Hu Jiao'er said that, she was also surprised by how easy it was to absorb the Blood Beads.

Even though they had learned from Ling Tai Xu that the Blood Beads were something a cultivator could absorb without any hidden dangers, she never expected it to be this easy.

"Yes."

The energy contained within the Blood Bead was very pure, seemingly without any waste, and it was what made it possible for cultivators to absorb the Blood Beads without refining them first.

In this world, it was rare to have an opportunity to absorb such pure energy without any worry, and there were no other places capable of creating Blood Beads, at least not to Hu Jiao'er's knowledge.

It only took one hour for the Hu Sisters to absorb all the Blood Beads they had collected from the Thunder Valley disciple, and surprisingly enough, the Blood Beads had more than enough energy to allow Hu Mei'er to break through to the 5th Stage of the True Element Realm.

Not only did she break through, but she was now at the peak of the 5th Stage of the True Element Realm, only one step away from breaking through to the next stage, with her cultivation completely stabilised and her foundation secure.

"Big sis, I did it!"

Hu Mei'er was happy about her breakthrough, and now, she was only two steps away from reaching the 7th Stage of the True Element Realm, similar to her older sister.

It had only been a few days since they arrived at this place, and Hu Mei'er was already close to breaking through the 6th Stage of the True Element Realm.

"Congratulations, Mei'er." Hu Jiao'er complimented her little sister with a smile, getting up before walking out of the hollow tree. "I don't think anyone came near this place, and from how things are, the barrier I placed worked as it was supposed to."

"What should we do now, Big sis?" Hu Mei'er asked, following her older sister out of the hollow tree.

"Let's collect some more Blood Beads and have you reach the 7th Stage of the True Element Realm." Hu Jiao'er replied without thinking about it much.

"Should I check the surroundings like we did previously?" Hu Mei'er asked, and Hu Jiao'er shook her head.

"It hasn't been that long since we arrived at this place, so just scout the area normally." Hu Jiao'er replied, and after thinking about it for a second, she continued. "Do you know where the Ghost King Valley's disciples were?"

"I think I know the general location, but why?" Hu Mei'er asked, tilting her head slightly.

"Because we're going to hunt them down." Hu Jiao'er smiled.

The Ghost King Valley and the High Heaven Pavilion had some grievances even before they arrived at this place, and Hu Jiao'er was sure that they'd try to attack Su Mu if they encountered him in the future.

To outsiders, Su Mu's cultivation was the weakest, so it was only natural that the group would target him first because Hu Jiao'er had higher cultivation than them, and although she knew that Su Mu could kill them without even the slightest bit of trouble, why would she let the Ghost King Valley's disciples bother him?

"I see." Hu Mei'er nodded, understanding why her elder sister had proposed such an idea before jumping on the nearby tree, activating her Divine Eyes.

From what Ling Tai Xu had previously told them, the strongest Ghost King Valley's disciple was at the 5th Stage of the True Element Realm, comparable to Hu Mei'er and far weaker than Hu Jiao'er, while the other two, a man and a woman, were at the 4th Stage of the True Element Realm.

Comparing the disciples from the Ghost King Valley and the ones from the Thunder Valley, the group Hu Jiao'er and Hu Mei'er had previously dealt with was more powerful.

After scouting the area for a few seconds, Hu Mei'er returned to Hu Jiao'er's side, and she explained. "I found some traces of people going around from the place I previously saw the Ghost King Valley's disciples at, but..."

"What's up?"

"The Monster Beasts... I think they're acting strange."

Looking at the confused expression on her little sister's face, Hu Jiao'er asked. "What do you mean?"

"Around two thousand and five hundred meters in the south, a group of Monster Beasts were roaming around, but all of them belonged to different species, and from how it looked, they were also obeying someone's command to subdue other Monster Beasts." Hu Mei'er explained.

"Hmm. Could it be someone from the various forces who knows how to tame and control Monster Beasts?" That assumption didn't sound far off from the truth, and with that in mind, Hu Jiao'er turned towards her little sister. "Do you remember seeing any humans around those Monster Beasts?"

Hu Mei'er shook her head in denial.

"So they can control the Monster Beasts from a great distance, too." Hu Jiao'er thought about it for a while before giving up. "Let's first hunt the Ghost King Valley's disciples before deciding our next move. Do you have any plans, Mei'er?"

"I don't think we'll need an elaborated plan to deal with the Ghost King Valley as we did with the Thunder Valley." Hu Mei'er replied. "With my current cultivation, I'd be more than enough to kill two of them in a single sneak attack, regardless of which one we choose."

Hu Mei'er's current limit was two arrows per shot, so even if she could kill all three of them in a single sneak attack, she lacked the means to do so.

Because while she couldn't match a 5th Stage True Element Realm cultivator in close combat, killing them with a sneak attack was something she was capable of.

"Then, make sure to kill the 5th and 4th Stage True Element Realm Cultivators with a sneak attack, and then, we'll chase after the remaining 4th Stage True Element." Hu Jiao'er explained, and her little sister nodded. "After refining their Blood Beads, you'd be able to break through to the 6th Stage of the True Element Realm."

For now, Hu Jiao'er's priority was to help Hu Mei'er reach the 7th Stage of the True Element Realm, similar to her.

"Then, Big sis, let's go!"

With their course of action decided, the Hu Sisters activated their movement techniques and started moving according to Hu Mei'er's instructions, carefully avoiding powerful monster beasts while killing the weaker ones, collecting over a dozen of Blood Beasts from the 5th and 4th Order monster beasts, all while following the traces left by the Ghost King Valley's disciples.

Thud!*

The Hu Sisters watched as the last disciple from the Ghost Khing Valley fell face-first to the ground, and soon, all of his blood and essence started condensing into a blood-red bead, leaving only dust behind.

"For a 4th Stage True Element Realm Cultivator, he managed to run for quite a distance." Hu Mei'er said, collecting the Blood Bead from the 4th Stage True Element Realm Cultivator, along with his belongings before handing everything over to Hu Jiao'er, who then placed their harvest inside the Universal Bag.

"Twenty Blood Beads from 4th Order Monster Beasts, seven from 5th Order Monster Beasts, two from 4th Stage True Element Realm Cultivator, and one from a 5th Stage True Elemenent Realm Cultivator." Hu Jiao'er counted the harvest they had made in the last few days ever since they started chasing the Ghost King Valley's disciples, and she nodded to herself. "This should be enough for you to reach the 7th Stage of the True Element Realm, Mei'er."

Hu Jiao'er had to admit that as long as a True Element Realm Cultivator had the methods to survive in this place, it was nothing short of a cultivation paradise for them.

It hasn't even been fifteen days since the two of them arrived here, and Hu Mei'er was ready to advance three stages of the True Element Realm just like that.

But absorbing all these Blood Beads would take a while, even for the Hu Sisters, so the two of them needed to find a secluded place to stay at.

"Big sis, should we go down this cliff?" Hu Mei'er asked, looking at the high cliff that was next to them, towering into the sky with clouds that completely obstructed one's view of the bottom filling its depths.

"Can you see how deep this is despite the clouds?" Hu Jiao'er asked, somewhat surprised when she saw her little sister nod.

"I doubt anyone would come to disturb us when we're down there, and after we're done cultivating, we can just fly back to the surface, and from how much I can see, there are absolutely no cultivators down below. Also, there are several 4th and 5th Order Monster Beasts for us to hunt."

Hu Mei'er's words sounded reasonable, because as True Element Realm Cultivators, flying back to the surface was no big task for the two of them, and Hu Jiao'er nodded.

It was better than looking for a secluded place in an area filled with Monster Beasts and Cultivators.

"Let's go." Hu Jiao'er walked forward and extended her right hand towards Hu Mei'er, who grabbed it with her left hand, and soon, the two of them jumped off the cliff.

"How deep is this cliff, Mei'er?" Hu Jiao'er couldn't help but ask as the two of them had been falling for quite a while, and thanks to the wind blowing past them, she had to enhance her voice with True Qi for her little sister to properly hear her.

"Around six thousand metres." Hu Mei'er replied. [1]

"You can see that far?" Hu Jiao'er asked, somewhat surprised.

"I can, but it's not as clear as when I'm only seeing about two thousand metres. And even if I can see it, my arrows can't travel that much of a distance." Hu Mei'er explained.

"I see."

After falling for a little longer, the Hu Sisters pushed their True Qi out at Hu Mei'er's notice, stopping their descent before safely landing on the ground underneath them.

"This place is a lot bigger than I expected." Hu Jiao'er commented, looking around the valley. "How many Monster Beasts are there?"

"From what I saw earlier... Thirty-five 4th Order Monster Beasts, and around fifteen 5th Order Monster Beasts." Hu Mei'er replied with a small smile.

If the two of them could refine all those Monster Beasts' Blood Beads, they'd be able to reach the 8th Stage of the True Element Realm within a week or so.

"Mei'er, you found a very nice place for us to cultivate." Hu Jiao'er said with a smile.

Having already made up their minds, the Hu Sisters started exploring the hidden valley using the information Hu Mei'er had gathered while the two of them were falling to the ground.

Along the way, they had also beheaded several 4th and 5th Order Monster Beasts, gaining a small harvest.

In this immensely large valley, the Hu Sisters continued exploring and hunting, every day reaping some harvest, while carefully hunting Monster Beasts while trying to exert as little strength as possible.

After a whole week of repeating this routine, the Hu Sisters had gathered more than fifty Monster Beast Blood Beads, with a little over thirty of them belonging to 4th Order Monster Beasts.

"Let's absorb all the Blood Beads we have before exploring the centre region of this valley." Hu Jiao'er proposed.

"Okay." Hu Mei'er replied.

The centre region of the valley was mostly empty from what Hu Mei'er had seen, but after continually hunting for a whole week, the Hu Sisters were somewhat tired, so it'd be best for them to cultivate and recover their strength before going there.

And so, another day passed.

Damn. One chapter a day, what the hell? I can write a lot of cultivation-ish chapters if I do that.

The Hu Sisters' pov might end in two or three days like this.
