I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"I am no longer myself, for the opportunity I received came from beyond the heavens and the earth.

"The Hundred Prison Blood Refining Skill is indeed a powerful cultivation technique, capable of breaking through the limits of Spiritual Realm Martial Arts and advancing to higher realms, but this path is paved with blood..."

Wu Tianan found his heart growing more and more apprehensive as he continued reading, his expression increasingly solemn.

The rise and fortune of the Blood Spirit Child was so unimaginably bizarre.

Came from beyond the heavens and the earth?

At this moment, he thought of the Seductive Witch from the Heavenly Cave Ruins in the Ice State.

Could it be that the Blood Spirit Child encountered a being similar to the Seductive Witch, which led to his ascent?

The Hundred Prison Blood Refining Technique cultivates with blood essence, allowing one to disregard the limits of Spiritual Realm Martial Arts and breakthrough continuously.

There was even more important information above.

"I am no longer myself!"

What did this mean?

Had the Blood Spirit Child been parasitized?

Wu Tianan furrowed his brows, recalling the Blood Spirit Child's deeds. Although wild and unmatched in slaughter, there had been no signs of parasitism.

"Could it be that practicing the Hundred Prison Blood Refining Skill leads to a drastic change in one's nature?"

Wu Tianan pondered.

Continuing to read, the messages left by the Blood Spirit Child were not many, just a brief mention of the fortune he had encountered, which was also due to a coincidence that led him to these Heavenly Grotto Ruins.

More importantly, when he entered the Heavenly Grotto Ruins, it wasn't at a time when the ruins were open to access, but at that time the ruins underwent some anomalies.

There appeared a small black hole, and the Blood Spirit Child had been sucked into it by a force.

According to the Blood Spirit Child, he met a strange remnant soul.

A blood-colored remnant soul turned into a bracelet and was worn on his wrist. That was the opportunity of his rise and how he acquired the Hundred Prison Blood Refining Skill from the remnant soul.

This remnant soul claimed to come from beyond the world, an entity that has transcended the limits of the heavens and the earth, and this strand of remnant soul was merely a trace of its power that entered this domain from beyond the heavens and the earth.

The Blood Spirit Child's second defeat was also related to this remnant soul. The Blood Spirit Child was ruthless, and he eventually trapped and refined this strand of remnant soul!

As for what he gained after refining the remnant soul, the Blood Spirit Child did not reveal much.

Wu Tianan looked at the blood-red pearl,

"Netherworld Blood Orb? What's its use?"

This pearl, named the Netherworld Blood Orb, its purpose was not mentioned by the Blood Spirit Child.

"If your bones still exist, should I bury you with the Netherworld Blood Orb?"

Wu Tianan muttered to himself.

Whether the remains of the Blood Demon still exist in the Inner Domain, only Xin Mengrou would know.

"Could you possibly revive yourself with this?"

Wu Tianan shook his head and chuckled.

"You are no longer the person you once were; do you think I would fulfill your last wish?"

Wu Tianan sighed.

The information left by the Blood Spirit Child had some unusual details. Regardless of the ultimate goal, Wu Tianan would not bury the Netherworld Blood Orb with the Blood Spirit Child.

He turned to the second page of the booklet.

"Above the Divine Refinement Celestials are those in the Condensation Law Realm, condensing the Heaven and Earth Laws into the body, they are called Condensation Law Heavenly Venerables; above the Condensation Law are those in the Truth Refinement Realm, not yet truly integrated with the condensed laws, refining the Heaven and Earth Laws into one with the body, they are called True King Heavenly Venerables; above the Truth Refinement Realm is the Immortal Realm, becoming one with the domain, assuming the honor of controlling a realm of heavens and earth, living as long as the world itself, hence named Immortal Heavenly Venerable..."

The second page introduced the realms above the Divine Refinement Celestials, which were the Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable, True King Heavenly Venerable, and Immortal Heavenly Venerable. The realms of Truth Refinement and Immortality were unheard of by Wu Tianan.

However, he had seen a Condensation Law Heavenly Venerable before.

Although that Heavenly Venerable was slain by the Seductive Witch, there was no denying the imposing might of the Heavenly Venerable, truly powerful without equal.

"So, when the Heavenly Venerable spoke of summoning the True King, he meant calling upon a Heavenly Venerable of the Truth Refinement Realm."

What kind of existence then, is an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, one who lives as long as the heavens and the earth?

"However, even being immortal, they have not yet transcended the domain of heaven and earth."

The senior, however, was an existence that transcended heaven and earth; in front of such a predecessor, even an Immortal Heavenly Venerable would not count for much.

Wu Tianan continued to read. What followed was the Hundred Prison Blood Refining Skill cultivation technique, and the more he read, the more he trembled with fear, truly demonic in nature, exceptionally cruel.

He read only a third of it before he could no longer continue.

Too cruel, too brutal.

"Refining the blood of living beings in the Spiritual Realm, one may attain immortality!"

This was the message given by the Blood Spirit Child. Originally, he refined the blood of all living beings, exterminating one Spirit Sect family after another, refining city after massive city.

"The Blood Spirit Child must have already broken through the Condensation Law Realm back then."

According to deductions, having refined so many martial artists, so many great cities, the Blood Spirit Child must have transcended the Condensation Law Realm, surpassing the limits of Spiritual Realm Martial Arts.

Wu Tianan took a deep breath and returned the booklet and the Netherworld Blood Orb back into the box.

"This box, I should present it to the senior."

Wu Tianan sighed, such a demonic cultivation technique should be kept by the predecessor.

With this thought, Wu Tianan arrived at the Evergreen Pavilion.

"Senior, this is what I discovered, an item left behind by the Blood Spirit Child from years past. It contains demonic cultivation techniques, and I entrust it to the senior for disposal."

He respectfully lifted the box and said.

"Hmm."

Li Xuan's eyebrows raised slightly. What was the deal with this Blood Spirit Child, leaving behind some objects in these Heavenly Cave Ruins?

Raising his hand, he summoned the box into his palm. Without opening it to look inside, he seemingly disinterestedly stowed it away.

Wu Tianan excused himself and left to find Xin Mengrou, to inquire about how the Transcendent Spirit Sect had driven the Blood Spirit Child into the Inner Domain during the calamity of the Blood Demon.

Inside the Heavenly Cave Ruins, only Li Xuan sat calmly in the Evergreen Pavilion, while the others were curiously exploring the relics around them.

Xu Yan suddenly came to a halt.

He gazed at a grey-black withered tree, deep in thought.

And at that moment, a soft voice reached his ear, carrying a hint of temptation as if calling out to him.

"Youngster, to arrive here is your fortune. Pass the trial, and you shall receive the Immortal inheritance."

The voice originated from that small tree.

"Immortal inheritance?"

Xu Yan was filled with curiosity.

"Yes! Youngster, perhaps you don't understand what Immortal means? Above Condensation Law is Truth Refinement, and above Truth Refinement, there is Immortality.

"The Immortal ones blend with the Domain, their life spans equal to that of the Domain… Such is an Immortal Heavenly Venerable!"

The voice continued to reach him, its temptation growing stronger.

If it were any other genius of the Spiritual Realm, they might have been swayed by the temptation, but such tricks were useless against Xu Yan.

"To only live as long as the Domain?"

Xu Yan asked in surprise.

The voice paused, wondering what this young man meant.

"Immortality lies in existing forever with the undying Domain, this is the pinnacle of Martial Arts, young man..."

The tempting voice resumed speaking.

"To be called the pinnacle of Martial Arts without transcending the Domain?"

Xu Yan expressed doubt!

The tempting voice fell silent for a moment, this young man's aspiration seemed a bit too extravagant!

"How could one transcend the Domain? Young man, do not aim too high; achieving Immortality is already the pinnacle of Martial Arts..."

Xu Yan nodded and said, "You're right, one mustn't aim too high, it's better to be practical. So, do you have any divine objects?"

The tempting voice was silenced once again.

This is just too practical!

Demanding divine objects straight away?

"Why are you silent now? Are you deceiving people? You don't actually have any inheritance, do you?"

Xu Yan frowned as he said this.

"Young man, you may leave. Your comprehension is poor, not suitable for this inheritance."

The tempting voice spoke up.

Xu Yan silently drew his sword, stepped towards the small tree, and struck it with a slash!

Crack!

The small tree split, and a faint trace of blood-red light emerged from the trunk, turning into a ferocious face.

However, the face looked bemusedly at Xu Yan.

Drawing a sword without a word?

"A Remnant Soul?"

Xu Yan's eyebrows raised as he slashed with his sword in hand.

Sudden Annihilation Sword!

"Wait..."

The ferocious face, now with a look of utter fear, hurriedly spoke.

But it was too late!

With a single sword strike, a 'puff' sound was heard as the face disintegrated, the Remnant Soul completely dissipated under the might of the Sudden Wind Sword Intent.

"Not a Remnant Soul of a Spiritual Realm Martial Artist."

Xu Yan thoughtfully excavated the small tree, and there at the root hung a blood-red pearl the size of a fingertip.

"What is this? It seems like it could enhance the power of flesh and blood."

Xu Yan collected the blood-red pearl and planted his Longsword into the ground, unleashing the Sudden Wind Sword Intent.

Boom!

Centered on the small tree, a storm swept through, as if a tempest of Sudden Wind Sword Intent engulfed the area within hundreds of feet.

Puff!

Ten feet away, a blood light emerged, forming a human face which looked somewhat bewildered.

"Kid, you're going too far, I am—" the face was cut off mid-sentence as it was utterly exterminated by the Sudden Wind Sword Intent storm.
