The Patriarch's words were enticing. I wanted to learn the secret to reach Golden Core, but what if he lied? Either way, even if he did not teach me the way, I would reach Late Foundation, which was awesome! It would make my life much easier when looking for the secret to get to the next realm.
We went to an area of the Sect I wasn't allowed to go. Only the Patriarch could go there, so the importance of that place was beyond measure. The narrow stone dusty tunnel led us to a blood lake. The sight of such a place gave me chills.
"This lake had been here since the start," the Patriarch said, "Our ancestors built the Sect around it. It's a heavenly place for a cultivator with Blood Qi."
Yes, he was right. I was still far from the lake but could already feel the dense Blood Qi in the area—undoubtedly the best place for my blood avatar to cultivate.
