章 3: The Golden Blood

The group kept laughing at Kai before they formed a circle and started talking using spiritual messages.

This was great for Kai as he needed some time to plan his next move. He only had enough spiritual energy to use a single move. He sat up and started thinking about some ideas.

Now the problem was that Kai's moves took too8 much spiritual energy and he didn't have enougha of it to use them.

However, if he forcefully used them, he might die and this time, he would die for good. And he couldn't die before finding his harem and taking their revenge.

He had some low-level techniques but the problem was that he didn't know the group's cultivation.

The move might be useless against them if they had higher cultivation than Kai. He could use his spiritual sense on them to try sense their cultivation but it would be a stupid thing to do.

Unlike Jin, who had to touch Kai to use his spiritual sense on him, Kai could use spiritual sense without touching anyone.

Most people in the mortal cultivation realms didn't know this but the spiritual sense they used was a fake or rather, undeveloped version of the original one.

Real spiritual sense developed when someone reached the last realm of the mortal cultivation realms.

That spiritual sense could be used in a particular radius around the user by spreading spiritual energy inside it.

It wouldn't work on cultivators that were in a more advanced realm compared to the user. However, if your opponent was in the same realm as you or their realm was lower than your realm, you would be able to sense their cultivation.

But it wouldn't work for Kai because he didn't know the mortal realms and if he used spiritual sense, or rather, was still able to use spiritual sense, he would lose what little spiritual energy he had.

But before he could think of anything else, the group stopped talking and started walking towards him.

"All of us think that you saw what fell from the sky and that thing messed you up. So, we have decided to kill you. No hard feelings." Elder Jin said in an amused tone.

An idea clicked inside Kai's mind at it was something he hated but he didn't have any other choice. The idea he had was plain stupid and might bite him in the back later on but there was nothing he could do about it.

"You guys are right. That thing saw me and I was frozen in fear when I saw its appearance. However, that thing didn't run, it's still here and shows hatred towards you." Kai said with an evil grin and his eyes looked as though they belonged to a madman.

Jin and the others stopped in their tracks once they heard Kai's words. They looked around to see if anyone was there but they could see anyone.

"Oh, he is not there. He is precisely inside me and I have the access to its powers." Kai said again and laughed, making them all step back.

After Kai was assured that the distance between them and him was enough, he used the only move he could use.

The move's name was light steps and it was a technique that could be used to teleport from one place to another.

His body started to emit a white light and he started vanishing. Jin, realizing that Kai was trying to run away, ran at him as he tries to capture him.

Unfortunately, Kai was already gone and Jin only grabbed thin air. He furiously told the others to search for him even though something in his heart told him that they won't be able to find him.

***

Kai appeared 20 kilometers away from the group and immediately crashed on the ground. He took a few deep breaths and relaxed his body a little.

Whatever spiritual energy he had was gone. He was furious with himself for using such a cowardly strategy and for the first time, he let himself think that what would have happened if he had a little power.

As if the universe wanted to mock him, his body started to glow and numerous information filled his head.

His body was once again, flowing with spiritual energy and he remembered many things about the mortal cultivation, the starting thing being the cultivation realms. There were 7 mortal cultivation realms and each of them was divided into 10 stages. Their names were -

Yin and Yang Gathering realm

Earth Spirit realm

Sky Spirit realm

Hell Spirit realm

Heaven Spirit realm

Imperial Spirit realm

Divine Spirit realm

Kai was finally able to use his spiritual sense on himself and he found out that he was at the 9th stage of the heaven spirit realm.

He sighed at this since he didn't had his power during the time he needed. He teleported back to see of the group was still there but just like he had expected, they were gone.

He tried to use his spiritual sense in a radius but it only extended to 20 meters before stopping there.

He just sighed and started using some of his techniques to see if he could still use them.

It took him an entire day to use two of his most weakest techniques as he had to recover his spiritual energy after the first one.

"It was a good thing I bound it with my blood." Kai said to himself after he had used the two techniques.

He bit his right thumb and surprisingly, golden blood came out of it. This was shocking as only gods had this in their veins.

If Kai had ichor in his veins, this meant that his body was still part immortal. Another thing was that he could still use real spiritual sense without being in the Divine Spirit realm.

But he would search that later on as he dropped the golden blood on the ground and ripples emerged in the air around Kai's neck.

A golden pendant with a weird symbol dropped around Kai's neck. It was pure purple in color and Kai treasured this thing with his life and because of that, he had bound this thing with his blood so that he would be able to summon this anywhere.

Inside this were so many things that your mind would be blown away by them.

The reason for this was that this pendant also served as a space pendant version of the space ring. But the only difference other than this being a pendant and that being a ring, was that this pendant had infinite storage inside it.

"If I still have ichor in my veins, does this mean that I still have....." Kai's voice trailed off as he glanced at his left hand.
