If possible, Hou Luoming also hoped he could use Pure Divine Essence to aid in his own leveling and cultivation.

But that Pure Divine Essence was not something one could seek; it had all but disappeared from the Jiuzhou Continent.

Even as the Sect Leader of Blood Slaughter Sect, within the past several hundred years, there was only one rumored sighting of Pure Divine Essence.

But that was merely a rumor, and ultimately, he found out it had been a misunderstanding.

He released his Divine Sense, inspecting Duan Gujin's dwelling place with care.

After a while, he was certain that Duan Gujin's residence was indeed filled with Pure Divine Essence.

"What a prodigal!"

He couldn't help but exclaim suddenly.

Hearing the Sect Leader's sigh, Elder Wan's expression underwent several changes.

"How long has he been in seclusion?"

Hou Luoming suddenly asked.

"About three two-hour periods!"

Elder Wan replied.

"I will guard here for him, you go and rest!"

Hou Luoming said.

"Sect Leader, I don't feel like sleeping just yet, I want to watch my protege leveling!"

Elder Wan said.

At their level of cultivation, they didn't truly need to rest.

Elder Wan said so because he genuinely wanted to watch his protege absorb and refine the Pure Divine Essence.

Although he was a Sixth-level Alchemist, he had never before seen a martial artist cultivate in such a dense concentration of Pure Divine Essence.

Therefore, he wanted to know what changes would occur to the Pure Divine Essence during a martial artist's cultivation.

"Alright then, watch with me!"

Hou Luoming said.

Thus, they both sat cross-legged on the roof of Elder Wan's dwelling, eyes closed, but their Divine Sense was locked onto Duan Gujin's residence.

The nearby elders were stunned to see the Sect Leader and Elder Wan sitting together like that.

They hadn't expected the relationship between the Sect Leader and Elder Wan to be so amicable, all looking at Elder Wan with envy.

At this moment, Duan Gu was in the tense process of leveling.

He felt the blood in his body surging wildly, releasing his Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul to devour, absorb, and refine the surrounding Pure Divine Essence.

Under the stimulus of the Pure Divine Essence, the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul was constantly agitated, occasionally roaring up towards the heavens.

The roaring of the Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul towards the heavens meant that it was being nourished and tempered.

Although Duan Gu had arranged an array that blocked Divine Sense Inspection while in seclusion, the Sect Leader, being at the Martial Saint Realm, could still sense anything within it.

Witnessing the changes in Duan Gu's Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul inside, Hou Luoming felt immensely shocked.

"That Duan Gujin is really too wasteful!"

Thinking of an Inner Sect Disciple at the Martial Sect Realm actually using Pure Divine Essence to level up, he gnashed his teeth in hatred towards Duan Gujin.

But then he thought about it and realized that Duan Gujin must not have used the resources of the Blood Slaughter Sect for his own leveling. So where did his Pure Divine Essence come from?

Hou Luoming thought of a possibility.

"If Duan Gujin can find an Innate Spiritual Object, then he must have also found Pure Divine Essence! Previously, Elder Wan told me that he had entered Hundred Saints Mountain and even the Demon Saint's Treasure Vault. Thus, it's highly probable that he found the Pure Divine Essence there!"

Thinking that Duan Gujin had an Innate Spiritual Object in his possession, he felt tempted.

But then he thought better of it and abandoned this greedy thought.

After all, even if he acquired an Innate Spiritual Object, he would not be able to Refine it.

He was very clear in his mind, whether a living creature could fully utilize the innate abilities of an Innate Spiritual Object depended on the attributes of that object.

Previously, Elder Wan told him that the Innate Spiritual Object found by Duan Gujin belonged to the Netherworld category, and he chose to believe it.

Having seen much of the world, he had heard some rumors about Innate Spiritual Objects before.

Thus, he knew that a Human Warrior, even if they obtained an Innate Spiritual Object, could not necessarily fully unleash its innate abilities.

In his mind, Hou Luoming speculated that Duan Gujin not only possibly found an Innate Spiritual Object but even the Demon Saint's Treasure Vault.

He had this suspicion before, but now that he saw Duan Gujin leveling with Pure Divine Essence, it made him think that Duan Gujin must have found the Demon Saint's Treasure Vault, and the Pure Divine Essence was a Treasure from within.

"Only this could explain why he now has Pure Divine Essence!"

Hou Luoming's eyes flickered thoughtfully; if he got an Innate Spiritual Object, he would sell it to other Major Sects in exchange for Treasures that could raise the level of the Blood Slaughter Sect.

But by doing so, the Innate Spiritual Object he offered would make the strength of other Major Sects even more formidable from now on, and that was not what he wanted to see.

If he could, he wouldn't want to trade away the Innate Spiritual Object, giving other sects a boost in strength.

Moreover, he might not even be able to obtain Treasures capable of elevating the level of Blood Slaughter Sect from the other Major Sects.

He had previously inquired with people from First-class Sects, probing to learn if the Cultivation Techniques of Blood Slaughter Sect could be taken to a higher level.

But the results deeply disappointed him; he then realized that the Blood Slaughter Sect had already been sentenced to death by those First-class Sects, as they all believed that the Blood Slaughter Sect could no longer make any further breakthroughs.

And the root of this time lay in the Cultivation Technique of Blood Slaughter Sect, which relied on the power of Blood Evil Qi.

In the eyes of people from First-class Sects, this method of using Blood Evil Qi to enhance Cultivation was considered inferior, and many times, a Blood Slaughter Sect Disciple could only unleash their full strength at the home mountain of the Blood Slaughter Sect.

Once a Blood Slaughter Sect Disciple left the home mountain, once they depleted the Blood Evil Qi, it would be difficult for them to replenish it.

If a Blood Slaughter Sect Disciple wanted to replenish Blood Evil Qi, they would have to rely on Elixir Pills that had condensed Blood Evil Qi early on.

Without a doubt, this method of relying on Elixir Pills to condense Blood Evil Qi could not be sustained and not every Blood Slaughter Sect Disciple could bear the immense consumption of Elixir Pills.

Hou Luoming found no reasons to refute these claims by the First-class Sects.

He understood in his heart that the Cultivation Technique of Blood Slaughter Sect really had such problems, the experts from First-class Sects were not wrong, but deep down, he truly couldn't accept this.

"I better not think too much about it! I want to see what the situation with Duan Gujin is like first!"

Hou Luoming didn't allow himself to continue pondering over the Blood Slaughter Sect's issues and immediately focused his attention on the Pure Divine Essence in front of Duan Gujin's residence.

In another two hours, Hou Luoming saw through Divine Sense Inspection that countless Heaven and Earth Essence seemed to envelop Duan Gujin within the Pure Divine Essence, making him seem otherworldly and divine, akin to a deity.

"Hissss!"

Hou Luoming instantly drew in a breath of cold air. It was the first time he had witnessed such a vision and was utterly astounded.

Soon after, it was as if he heard the singing of deities, with voices filled with holiness, invigorating his entire being.
