Chapter 285: The Arrival of the Star Master

In the Original Blood World, in District One, not far from the number one mansion, there was a super-large mansion constructed extravagantly.

Residing here was none other than the second genius of the Original Blood World—Shui Heng!

He was a body-refining master, an astonishing second-level foundation cultivator. Although his overall strength was weaker than Bai Li's due to his slightly less outstanding comprehension, his source techniques were formidable.

"He passed the twelfth level?"

Shui Heng stood in a small world within the mansion, with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, specifically designed for him to cultivate secret techniques.

"Huh!"

"Where did this genius come from? How could he be so strong?" Shui Heng's long blue hair flowed elegantly, and his figure was extremely handsome!

However, at this moment, a hint of shock appeared on his face.

He was well aware of the difficulty of the twelfth level. He had tried twice, both ending in failure, and had not seen any possibility of breaking through until now.

"He's currently challenging the thirteenth level without failing yet?" Shui Heng's thoughts were checking the information transmitted by the Dark Star Guardian in the Blood Refining Immortal Realm.

If he hasn't failed after such a long time, it could only mean that Wu Yuan's strength is close to being unable to pass the thirteenth level.

"I wonder how old this Wu Yuan is and whether he has surpassed a hundred years." Shui Heng sighed secretly. "If not?"

"Then, in terms of talent, he would be comparable to the Blood Refining Seeds of a first-level branch!"

"I never expected that the Crimson Moon branch could also produce such a peerless monster." Shui Heng felt a bit surreal.

Different from Bai Li, Shui Heng had a significant background, coming from a large clan. The ancestor of the clan was a celestial immortal in the Blood Refining Magic Palace.

As the most valued descendant in tens of thousands of years, he had exceptionally high talent.

So, he was well-informed about information and secrets, far more than ordinary golden core cultivators.

He was well aware that, as a second-level branch, the Crimson Moon branch directly belonged to the first-level branch, the 'Bai Cang branch,' a colossal entity comparable to the Bai Cang Immortal Country.

Bai Cang Immortal Country had about six thousand immortal continents. The Bai Cang branch of the Blood Refining Magic Palace also controlled over five thousand second-level branches, gathering numerous geniuses.

Second-level Blood Refining Seeds required passing the seventh level of the Golden Core Dark Star. The Crimson Moon branch alone had over eighty such individuals. How many would the entire Bai Cang branch have?

What about first-level Blood Refining Seeds?

Requiring to pass the fourteenth level of the Dark Star, as far as Shui Heng knew, there were only a few dozen within the Bai Cang branch.

On average, it took over a hundred second-level branches to produce one first-level Blood Refining Seed.

One could imagine how monstrous they were.

"This Wu Yuan, even if he doesn't quite measure up to a first-level Blood Refining Seed, is still one of the top geniuses." Shui Heng shook his head with a sigh. "It's a bit lamentable to have such a genius in the same branch."

Unlike Bai Li, Shui Heng's mentality was relatively stable.

After all, Bai Li had already surpassed him before, so what was the big difference between being second and third? Moreover, he had long known that there were always people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens.

...

Not only Bai Li and Shui Heng, the two top geniuses were shocked, but all the more than eighty Blood Refining Seeds in the entire 'District One' of the Original Blood World were boiling with excitement.

Passing the seventh level of the Dark Star meant having the strength of the Purple Mansion and the qualification to become a Blood Refining Seed. The differences in strength between the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the Dark Star were not significant, and over ninety percent of Blood Refining Seeds remained within these three levels.

"So impressive!"

"Before, I always thought Bai Li was exaggerated and dazzling enough. This Wu Yuan is even stronger than Bai Li."

"It's terrifying!"

"You need to know, Wu Yuan has rushed through to the thirteenth level in one go. Look, how long has it been since the news of him passing the seventh level and then the twelfth level? What does it indicate?"

"It indicates that he didn't consume much strength when he passed the twelfth level."

"Incredible!"

"I checked the records."

"In the Original Blood World, a turnover occurs every hundred years. The last time a genius passed the twelfth level was six hundred years ago."

"The last genius to pass the thirteenth level appeared two thousand years ago."

"To pass the fourteenth level? That dates back six thousand years."

"Compared to Bai Li and Shui Heng, we might still be able to exchange a few moves, but with this Wu Yuan? We'd probably be killed in one move." These Golden Core realm Blood Refining Seeds communicated with each other, all filled with deep emotion.

Wu Yuan's erupted strength had far surpassed them, to the point where they lost the courage to catch up.

Being able to fight beyond one's realm was already exceptional. Among hundreds of thousands of Golden Core cultivators, it could be said that these Blood Refining Seeds had extremely high talent. However, when compared to Wu Yuan, they seemed like nothing!

...

For the top geniuses of the Original Blood World, having one more Blood Refining Seed was worth noting, let alone passing the twelfth level. It was nothing short of a myth.

However.

For the true high-level members of the Crimson Moon branch in the Blood Refining Magic Palace, that group of celestial immortals, one or two more Blood Refining Seeds were not very important.

In their long lives, they had seen countless geniuses of this level.

But today.

In the sky above the Blood Refining Immortal Realm's 'Crimson Moon City,' within a special space, there was a temple. On both sides of the temple were two rows of huge seats, each row having eighteen seats, making a total of thirty-six metallic seats.

At the end of the temple was a blood-red throne.

At this moment, on both sides of the temple, the originally empty giant seats consecutively had figures appearing.

Their auras were extremely powerful, and their eyes were filled with vicissitudes and ancientness.

And a huge screen projection was currently appearing in the center of the temple, allowing the super existences on the seats to clearly see the scenes.

The scene that appeared in the projection.

Surprisingly, it was the scene of Wu Yuan challenging the 'Golden Core Dark Star,' and the projection side also detailed a large amount of information.

"Fifty years old, Sevenfold Spiritual Body, Second-level Foundation... seemingly comprehended the way of the stars, reaching Domain Fifth Realm..."

"The main spiritual beast excels in speed, suspected to have cultivated an advanced source technique specializing in speed burst, probably a Third-level Foundation..." The information was very detailed.

Obviously.

Some of this information was proactively investigated by the Dark Star, and some were deduced through battles.

In a short time, more than thirty figures appeared on the thirty-six giant seats.

"He's too monstrous!"

"Where did he come from? Wu Tian, where did you find such a monstrous genius?"

"Fifty years old, and his strength is already at this level? Unbelievable!"

"A First-level Blood Refining Seed? The magnitude of his potential probably places him at the forefront even among First-level Blood Refining Seeds." The super existences on the seats couldn't contain their astonishment.

"If he continues to cultivate for another hundred years, he probably has a chance to break through the seventeenth level."

"He's too young."

"Although young, his current strength is already very strong."

"This Wu Yuan is under my command." A young man in black robes lay on a seat, looking very proud.

This young man in black robes is none other than Wu Tian Immortal.

Obviously.

The figures in this temple are all immortals responsible for cultivating Golden Core realm disciples in the Crimson Moon branch of the Blood Refining Magic Palace.

A total of thirty-six immortals, they have seen countless geniuses, even those of the level of Bai Li and Shui Heng.

But someone like Wu Yuan, who is so extraordinary?

"I've lived for over three hundred thousand years, managed the Original Blood World for over a hundred thousand years, and this is the first time I've seen such a genius," a burly immortal said with a low growl.

"The intense battle with the guardian of the thirteenth level has heated up."

"It's about to determine the winner."

"I wonder if he can make it through."

"Passing the thirteenth level means being very close to the fourteenth level."

"The fourteenth level meets the standard of a First-level Blood Refining Seed." The thirty-plus immortals in the temple were extremely focused.

Passing the twelfth level means that Wu Yuan's strength, within the entire Bai Cang branch, is estimated to rank among the top thousands.

If he can pass the thirteenth level, it means that Wu Yuan has a chance to break into the top one thousand of the Bai Cang branch.

The difference is still quite significant.

...

Within the Golden Core Dark Star, on the thirteenth level.

The battle had become intense.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" The black-robed guardian suspended in the void roared angrily, and through his powerful realm, it seemed as if a myriad of figures were roaring.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Countless flying swords covered the sky, forming a river of swords.

They gathered to transform into mythical phoenix-like mythical beasts, whistling across the sky.

Attacking Wu Yuan again and again.

The Nine-headed Flame Phoenixes were formed by the convergence of the Nine Great Sword Arrays, interweaving with each other, faintly forming a complete Thousand Sword Formation.

Obviously.

The guardian was an extremely powerful Purple Palace realm sword cultivator, and his comprehension of the Dao and magical power was excellent even within the Purple Palace realm.

"Boom~" The nine flame phoenixes, with a terrifying temperature, surged towards Wu Yuan like a mighty force.

"Hiss~"

The scorching waves made Wu Yuan's earth-yellow Qi layers collapse layer by layer, unable to resist.

"Exhale!"

Four terrifying arms waved, and the four palms were like four dark clouds, thundering across the void, and the palm techniques were profound, colliding with the flaming phoenixes.

Every palm caused the phoenixes to tremble, and countless flames surged.

In just an instant, those phoenixes would peak again, interweaving like an endless sea.

"The true meaning of the Fire Phoenix, combined with the Purple Palace power, forms a formidable Thousand Swords Domain." Wu Yuan gritted his teeth to endure.

Just now, he had been fighting this guardian for over a hundred rounds.

Still difficult to get close.

In terms of Dao comprehension, Wu Yuan is still a lot higher; he estimates the guardian has just mastered the true meaning.

But in terms of fundamentals, there's a big gap.

The guardian is at the Purple Palace Fifth Stage (Sixth Rank Foundation).

Wu Yuan? Only at the Spirit Body Seventh Stage.

In terms of overall strength, the current guardian is stronger than Jingshan Daoist in the Xia Mountain world.

Wu Yuan can persist until now, relying entirely on the eruption of the Witch Aspect and the Main Aspect's four arms, relying on the terrifying defense of the Starry Body, an almost celestial-ranked Source Technique.

However, this can't last long.

"The Starry Body can last a long time, but once the Source Power is depleted, my strength will decline significantly." Wu Yuan is clear about this.

For Qi Cultivators, once their magical power is exhausted, they are like lambs to the slaughter, but it takes a long time to deplete magical power.

For Body Cultivators, with a powerful physique, they can burst out formidable combat power, but Source Power depletes rapidly, and once exhausted, they lose their peak strength.

Each has its own strengths.

So, why did Wu Yuan rush through the previous twelve levels without much rest?

The fundamental reason is that he didn't consume Source Power.

"Can only fight desperately."

"Give it a try!"

"Now that the Body Cultivation avatar has joined the Blood Refining Magic Palace, I will reveal its power for my hometown, and for myself, the higher the level, the better." Wu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of madness. "The biggest weakness of Qi Cultivators is themselves."

"As long as his avatar is killed, no matter how powerful this Thousand Sword Formation is, it's just a futile effort, and it will naturally dissipate."

Quickly, Wu Yuan made a change.

He no longer went on the offensive but chose to lean towards defense. The three major Source Techniques, combined with the realm, immediately raised his defense.

The guardian's sword formation attack immediately became sluggish, and relying on the front four phoenixes, it couldn't break Wu Yuan's defense.

"Defense?"

"Even if your defense is strong, can you hold on?" The black-robed guardian's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, pointing from a distance, "Kill."

The guardian also had his considerations.

He displayed the Thousand Sword Formation, consuming a tremendous amount of magical power and imposing a great burden on his mind. He couldn't judge how long Wu Yuan could hold out.

Moreover, the black-robed guardian was extremely confident in his own strength.

So, he chose to increase the intensity of the attack.

"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" Two more huge flame phoenixes flew, killing towards Wu Yuan, making it even more difficult for Wu Yuan to defend.

But just when it became even more difficult.

"At this moment, victory or defeat is in this instant!" Wu Yuan's heart flashed with determination. "Little Black! Erupt!"

Boom!

Little Black, who was already in a beastly fusion state, had his Source Power surging. A pair of black bone wings suddenly appeared behind Wu Yuan.

The wings were dazzling, like divine feathers.

In an instant.

Wu Yuan further sensed that it was Little Black's rhythm of 'Wind,' an extremely ethereal power.

Advanced Source Technique - Step Boundary!

Just like a sword cultivator who relies on a personal flying sword to escalate attack power to a terrifying level, a body cultivator is the same. If their personal spirit beast is powerful enough, it will play an unimaginable role.

When Little Black is in beast fusion state, he unleashes Source Techniques.

This is Wu Yuan's strongest burst.

Wu Yuan, who had been defending for a long time, finally seized the moment when the black-robed guardian attacked with all his might. He didn't dare to hope that the opponent would bring all nine fire phoenixes down.

That's unrealistic.

"Kill!" In an instant, the momentum of offense and defense reversed. Wu Yuan's figure reached an extreme speed, like a gust of wind flashing through hundreds of miles in an instant.

"Roar!" A fire phoenix blocked in front of him.

"Get out of the way!"

In Wu Yuan's two palms, a war knife suddenly appeared, thick and heavy, instantly slashing through the air.

"Tear~" This huge fire phoenix's surface was instantly torn apart by the war knife, revealing a bunch of flying swords inside. The massive fire phoenix tumbled and fell to the side.

"Splash!" "Splash!"

Two collisions in succession.

Too fast.

Wu Yuan, in full eruption, although his figure was huge, he was like a giant peng bird, instantly defeating two fire phoenixes, avoiding one, and rushing towards the black-robed guardian.

This is the opportunity in this moment.

If the black-robed guardian plays it steady, keeps all five fire phoenixes vigilant in defense, and only uses four to attack, then Wu Yuan will probably be defeated in the end.

However.

The black-robed guardian was worried that maintaining the Thousand Sword Formation all the time would not deplete Wu Yuan's Source Power, so he chose to go all out on the attack.

With increased attack intensity, defense naturally became weaker.

"Swoosh!"

A hint of horror flashed in the black-robed guardian's eyes. He wanted to retreat, but where could his flying speed catch up with Wu Yuan's eruption?

However, the black-robed guardian did not give up.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Head after head of fire phoenixes came crashing down overwhelmingly, trying to stop Wu Yuan.

However.

If three to five fire phoenixes work together, they can naturally gain the upper hand, but individually? They can't stop Wu Yuan at all.

Being repeatedly pushed back by Wu Yuan with the war knife and giant palms, attacking the black-robed guardian continuously.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer in the pull!

Suddenly.

"I won't lose, I won't." The black-robed guardian suddenly roared, and his eyes suddenly became cold.

Hum! An invisible fluctuation instantly descended.

Directly attacking Wu Yuan's divine consciousness.

It's a divine consciousness attack.

"Boom!" Like a heavy hammer slamming over, if it were an ordinary Spirit Body realm cultivator, their divine consciousness would probably tremble, followed by continuous attacks from fire phoenixes, completely besieging them.

However, how powerful is Wu Yuan's divine consciousness? He has cultivated divine consciousness techniques that are beyond the reach of ordinary Purple Palace cultivators.

Just a slight tremor.

He remains unaffected.

"Die!"

Wu Yuan finally approached, and immediately, a palm surged to a height of thousands of feet, like a mountain pressing down, fiercely slamming towards the black-robed guardian.

"Pong~" "Pong~" As the last line of defense, several shields flew in disarray.

The giant palm directly passed through the black-robed guardian, and his body instantly exploded.

Fallen,

Passed through the thirteenth level!

"Congratulations, Wu Yuan, for passing the thirteenth level. Do you want to continue?" The voice of the Star Spirit sounded with a hint of gentleness.

The stronger the strength.

Even the attitude of the Dark Star Spirit may change.

"I won't continue." Wu Yuan spoke directly.

Passing the thirteenth level was already so difficult. Trying the fourteenth level again?

That's just asking for trouble.

Moreover, Wu Yuan understands very well that this is a real battle without protective measures. Caution is the priority.

"Buzz!"

An invisible fluctuation instantly enveloped Wu Yuan, making him disappear from the combat space.

...

"Passed the thirteenth level?"

"Oh my God!"

"Did he really pass?" The top geniuses of the original Blood World were all boiling with excitement.

At this point, there was no need for the Dark Star Guardian to transmit messages.

Because, on the Dark Star rankings, there was already updated information about Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan!

Surpassed everyone, passed the thirteenth level.

While Bai Li and Shui Heng, the two originally recognized 'peerless geniuses,' only passed the eleventh level, the shocking gap was evident.

...

In the Blood Refining Immortal Realm, in that special space, when more than thirty immortals saw that Wu Yuan was not affected at all by the guardian's divine consciousness attack and killed the guardian, they were equally shocked.

Resisted directly?

How powerful is this divine consciousness?

It should be noted that the biggest difference between the challenger and the guardian lies in the foundation. A significant gap in the foundation of mana often leads to an astonishing difference in divine consciousness.

Amazing talent in enlightenment does not necessarily mean strong divine consciousness.

"A powerful divine consciousness at the age of fifty. Is his divine consciousness really this strong?"

"He should be comprehending the way of the stars, and the depth of his enlightenment is impressive. Given his age, it's truly terrifying."

"Incredible."

"Second-tier foundation, powerful divine consciousness, extraordinary talent in enlightenment. A near-perfect body cultivator." These immortals were completely conquered by Wu Yuan's performance. In their lives ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years, they had never seen such a remarkable genius.

No one even came close.

Those who could surpass? They were some monstrous existences in the long years, only existing in records and myths.

Although theoretically, Wu Yuan's strength is hard to rank among the top hundred in the Baicang Division.

After all, there are thousands of second-level divisions under the entire Baicang Division, with countless geniuses, and dozens of them have passed the fourteenth level of the Dark Star.

Even more have passed the thirteenth level, and Wu Yuan's passage through the thirteenth level was actually very difficult.

But!

In terms of age, those geniuses who have passed the thirteenth and fourteenth levels are all older than Wu Yuan.

"Wu Yuan is the youngest Golden Core and Spiritual Body cultivator to pass the thirteenth level in the entire Baicang Division this generation."

"The youngest."

"However, despite being a bit weaker in strength, with the title of 'Blood Refining Marquis,' there is hope. At least, as long as he is careful, the probability of falling in the Blood Refining battle is very low." These highly privileged immortals can access some information about the entire Baicang Division.

Quickly deducing.

The Blood Refining battle is extremely cruel for ordinary Golden Core cultivators. It is a bloody battle involving billions of worlds and tens of billions of Golden Core cultivators.

But for a peerless genius like Wu Yuan? The danger is much lower.

"Unfortunately!" The Heavenly Immortal Wu Tian suddenly spoke, shaking his head with a sigh.

"What's unfortunate?"

"Wu Tian, Wu Yuan is already under your command, and you still feel regret?" The immortals in the temple were all puzzled.

"I'm just regretful."

"I wish Wu Yuan had come to participate in the battle at the age of one hundred and fifty." Wu Tian Immortal's face was full of reluctance. "Then, perhaps, a Blood Refining king could be born."

Silence.

Just a moment.

"Wu Tian, you've gone too far!"

"Get lost!"

"Damn Wu Tian, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone as shameless as you." The immortals scolded and laughed.

At this moment.

"Buzz~" At the end of the temple, the majestic throne suddenly surged with light. Countless dots of light gathered, forming a massive and vague figure.

The face couldn't be seen, and the breath was vast.

In the temple, the dozens of immortals who were still playing around all quieted down, and at the same time, they stood up respectfully and saluted, "Greetings, Lord of the Stars."

Lord of the Stars!

The great Lord of the Stars has descended.

"I just received news that in my Red Moon Division, another peerless genius with the potential to become a 'Blood Refining King' has emerged." The massive and vague figure's voice resounded like thunder, echoing in the hall.

Many immortals listened.

"Report to the Lord of the Stars." Wu Tian Immortal suppressed his excitement and respectfully said, "This genius named Wu Yuan was selected by me."

"You did well."

The massive and vague figure looked down, "I am about to descend from the Baicang Division and bring Wu Yuan to the Lord of the Stars Hall."

"A once-in-a-thousand-years genius is worthy of my descent."

"Yes." Many immortals respectfully replied.

Immediately.

The massive and vague figure disappeared.

The temple fell silent for a moment, and then these dozens of immortals erupted.

"Heavens, the Lord of the Stars has descended."

"For hundreds of thousands of years, I have never seen the Lord of the Stars. He actually came from the Baicang Division?"

"The great Lord of the Stars is said to stand at the pinnacle of celestial immortals."

"Legend has it that more than one celestial immortal has fallen at the hands of the Lord of the Stars."

"It is said that, in terms of ancientness, the Lord of the Stars can rival the Red Moon Celestial Immortal." These immortals were quite excited.

Their status in the Red Moon Division is extremely high, having seen celestial immortals.

In the entire Red Moon Division, there is more than one celestial immortal.

However, the Lord of the Stars? They are not qualified to see. The Lord of the Stars must be a celestial immortal; however, most celestial immortals are not qualified to bear the title of the Lord of the Stars.

"Lord of the Stars."

"This Wu Yuan is truly my lucky star, allowing me to see the Lord of the Stars?" Immortal Wu Tian's eyes lit up.

Chapter 286: Yinhe's Expectation

In the Blood Refining Immortal Realm's temple.

"Wu Tian, you're really lucky. After the Blood Refining War, you must treat us to a good meal."

"Yeah! I envy Wu Tian." Several immortals joked.

"What do you mean I'm lucky?" Immortal Wu Tian glared, "Being able to discover talents like Wu Yuan indicates my efficient management of the worlds under my jurisdiction."

"Alright."

"Don't act like you're too good for it."

"Ordinary blood refining seeds require continuous exploration under our management, but talents like Wu Yuan? Their birthplace, it's purely a stroke of luck." Many immortals bantered.

Their perspectives were high, and they knew that talents like Wu Yuan required:

1. A sufficiently large population base.

2. A sufficiently long time.

3. Luck.

"Enough, everyone. We'll talk when this Blood Refining War is over and I have some free time." Immortal Wu Tian grinned, "I'll treat you all."

"Haha, this time we'll really take advantage of Wu Tian."

"I'm looking forward to it."

Perhaps, in the eyes of many Purple Mansion and Refining Void Realm cultivators in the Blood Refining Demon Palace, the conflicts among their respective immortals were numerous. However, in reality, as long as it didn't involve fundamental interests, the relationships among the immortals of the same division were mostly good.

Inside the Dark Star, on a massive floating square, there were ten small teleportation arrays, and in front of each teleportation array, there was a special formation.

"Swoosh!" Suddenly, a light flashed, and Wu Yuan appeared within the formation. His aura was much more disordered compared to when he entered just a quarter of an hour ago.

Clearly.

In the intense battles within the Dark Star, Wu Yuan's consumption was substantial, especially in the final battle.

As soon as he appeared,

"Congratulations, Wu Yuan, for setting a new contemporary record for the Gold Core Dark Star!" A gentle voice suddenly echoed in this vast square and the passages that extended for hundreds of miles.

In other words, the entire internal part of the Dark Star resonated with the voice of the Star Spirit.

In an instant.

Over a dozen Purple Mansion Realm stewards who were not yet aware, along with thousands of cultivators waiting in line, all focused their gaze on Wu Yuan.

A commotion arose.

Since they wouldn't receive additional communication from the Dark Star Guardian, unless they were constantly monitoring the 'Dark Star Rankings,' they wouldn't be aware so quickly.

"Wu Yuan?"

Chapter 286: Yinhe's Expectation

"Contemporary record?" Someone was puzzled and quickly checked the rankings in the Blood Refining Immortal Realm.

"Thirteenth floor!"

"Oh my god." Waves of exclamations erupted, and many disciples waiting in line were shocked, looking at Wu Yuan in the formation with immense surprise.

"He is Wu Yuan."

"Wu Yuan? Terrifying, thirteenth floor." In a short time, the gazes of all the cultivators in the entire Dark Star towards Wu Yuan completely changed.

Changed drastically.

"This? First in the contemporary era?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile wryly. Of course, he knew he had set a record.

Even during the thirteenth floor challenge, he learned about the various records of the 'White Cang Branch' in the Gold Core Dark Star.

The highest in history was the nineteenth floor.

For tens of billions of years in the entire White Cang Branch, no one had managed to pass the twentieth floor. It was unclear if it was too difficult or if no genius was willing to stay in the Gold Core realm for so long.

The white-robed elder in charge of guarding the Dark Star and the bear-faced protector instantly appeared in front of Wu Yuan.

"Luo Protector, Xiong Protector." Wu Yuan was about to bow and pay his respects.

Swish! Swish!

However, the two of them dodged first, and an invisible force directly supported Wu Yuan, preventing him from truly bowing.

"Haha, Young Master Wu Yuan, don't make us embarrassed."

The white-robed elder smiled apologetically, "How can we let you bow? If anything, we should be the ones bowing to you."

"Young Master?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Wu Yuan, do you remember what I said? In my Blood Refining Demon Palace, as long as the strength is strong enough and the potential is great, everything will be bestowed upon you." The bear-faced protector grinned, "Young Master is a title of respect for some exceptionally dazzling geniuses."

"Gold Core realm disciples who want to obtain the title of 'Young Master' have two paths."

"The first is to pass the fourteenth floor of the Dark Star, also known as a first-level Blood Refining Seed."

"The second is to seize the title of 'Blood Refining Marquis' in the Blood Refining War." The bear-faced protector said solemnly, "We often mention Blood Refining Seeds, which are second-level Blood Refining Seeds, with status comparable to the Refining Void Realm."

"And Young Master, in terms of status, can be compared to Earth Immortals. Even protectors must bow when they see him." The bear-faced protector explained.

"But I'm not..." Wu Yuan shook his head.

For either requirement, he hadn't achieved it.

"It's only a matter of time."

The bear-faced protector smiled, "At fifty years old, you've already passed the thirteenth floor. Tut, it's hard to say where you'll end up in the future, but normally, as long as you don't die unluckily in the Blood Refining War, becoming a Young Master is a matter of course."

"Even in the future, there is a slight hope of becoming a Demon Son."

"Demon Son?" Wu Yuan was puzzled.

Young Master could be understood, as Wu Yuan had seen corresponding descriptions in some information about his original Qi cultivation in the Dragon Star Immortal Sect.

But Demon Son? He had never heard of it.

"Regarding Demon Sons, I'm not very clear either. I've only heard some legends. At least in our Red Moon Branch, endless years have passed without the birth of a Demon Son. There are not many Young Masters either."

"Now, Wu Yuan, come with me to meet the High Immortal." The bear-faced protector said, "The High Immortal has already sent a message for me to quickly bring you to him."

"Okay." Wu Yuan nodded.

To be received by a High Immortal?

Wu Yuan was not surprised. According to his understanding, whether it was the Red Moon Immortal Palace or the Blood Refining Demon Palace, both highly valued the selection of geniuses.

They were vigorously cultivating disciples!

Just like when my Qi cultivation in the Dragon Star Immortal Sect received the inheritance of the Great Shaman, it immediately attracted the attention of the Master and Sect Leader.

Now looking back, it's the same logic.

After all, compared to Qi cultivation, body refinement is more dazzling, showing more terrifying potential.

"In the eyes of the high-level figures in the Blood Refining Demon Palace, I am just a local kid, relying purely on my own cultivation," Wu Yuan thought to himself. "Being born with a second-grade foundation, passing the thirteenth floor of the Dark Star at the age of fifty?"

If he were a high-level figure in the Blood Refining Demon Palace, he would probably be shocked too.

So, Wu Yuan was not surprised.

"Lao Luo, the High Immortal is in a hurry, I'll leave first. We'll catch up next time," the bear-faced protector said, arching his hand.

"Go ahead. It's my honor to witness Young Master Wu Yuan's rise," the white-robed elder said with a hearty smile.

Clearly, they recognized Wu Yuan as qualified to become a Young Master.

It was a world of difference from when they first saw Wu Yuan.

"The ancients were truly not deceiving me. When I was weak, everyone had malicious intentions. When I became strong, everyone is kind," Wu Yuan sighed to himself.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The bear-faced protector swiftly took Wu Yuan away.

"Is he Wu Yuan?"

"Remember his aura!"

"When the Blood Refining War clashes, stay far away. He alone can handle ten thousand of us."

"We are pursuing to seize ten or a hundred Blood Demon Tokens; these exceptional geniuses are pursuing to seize ten thousand or a million!"

"I hope we don't encounter him." Along the way, Gold Core cultivators gazed at Wu Yuan from afar.

They were all praying not to encounter Wu Yuan.

Encountering such a monstrous genius in the Blood Refining War would be a nightmare for them.

After the commotion at the entrance of the Dark Star, news about 'Wu Yuan, the exceptional genius who passed the thirteenth floor of the Dark Star,' spread rapidly throughout the original Blood Realm, reaching millions of Gold Core cultivators.

Even the entire Blood Refining Demon Palace's Red Moon Branch quickly spread the news.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The bear-faced protector, with Wu Yuan, swiftly passed through another small transmission array, quickly arriving in front of a massive transmission array.

The entire transmission array resembled four tall mountains, composed of four towering space silver towers over a thousand miles high.

The pressure was extremely terrifying.

However, there weren't many cultivators coming and going, far fewer than the first transmission array Wu Yuan encountered.

"A transmission array?" Wu Yuan was bewildered, asking, "Protector, aren't we going to the first region?"

Regarding the general information about the original Blood Realm, the bear-faced protector had told Wu Yuan.

"Wait until later." The bear-faced protector smiled, "Now we're going to see a High Immortal. Don't tell me you think High Immortals live in the original Blood Realm?"

Wu Yuan shook his head.

"Although my Red Moon Branch has not occupied the entire Immortal Continent's main land, it still controls many time and space. While the original Blood Realm is vast, it only cultivates Gold Core realm disciples," the bear-faced protector explained. "Purple Mansion realm disciples, the Demon Army, and some special areas are scattered in different time and space."

"What we are heading to now is the core time and space of my Red Moon Branch, also known as the Red Moon Demon Palace," the bear-faced protector said.

"Red Moon Demon Palace?" Wu Yuan remembered.

The two entered the transmission array.

Soon, along with more than a dozen Purple Mansion cultivators who had been waiting, they activated the transmission array, accompanied by a burst of soaring brilliance.

Leaving the original Blood Realm.

... It was an endless starry sky, filled with countless stars.

There were also numerous massive worlds, revolving like rolling beads.

At the end of the starry sky was a dazzling and boundless halo, shining endlessly, illuminating the infinite starry sky.

That halo.

Seemed to dominate the entire starry sky.

Not far away were countless palaces suspended in the starry sky, densely packed and countless.

"This? Is this the Red Moon Demon Palace?" Wu Yuan, following the bear-faced protector out of the transmission array, stood on the edge of the square, staring in shock at this vast and boundless starry sky.

Only Wu Yuan and the bear-faced protector came out of this transmission array.

Apparently, the others who entered the transmission array just now did not have the Red Moon Demon Palace as their destination.

"It's the first time you've seen an endless starry sky, right? I lost my composure the first time I saw it, even more than you," the bear-faced protector said, standing beside Wu Yuan, his gaze sweeping over the distant starry sky. He sighed softly, "Who would have thought that beyond our small world with a circular sky, there would be this boundless starry sky?"

Wu Yuan nodded gently.

Indeed!

The structure of the small world, and even the main land of the Red Moon Immortal Continent, was completely different from this boundless starry sky.

"This vast starry sky belongs to the temporal and spatial range influenced by the Red Moon Immortal Continent," the bear-faced protector said. "Do you see that glowing mass?"

Wu Yuan looked towards the end of the starry sky.

"That is where the main land of the Red Moon Immortal Continent is located," the bear-faced protector said. "According to the High Immortal, the straight-line distance from here to the Red Moon Immortal Continent is unimaginable."

"If you rely solely on flight, even Celestials would take tens of thousands of years."

"Tens of thousands of years?" Wu Yuan's heart trembled.

It was too far.

And this was only part of the Red Moon Immortal Continent's range? For the first time, Wu Yuan truly realized the vastness of a side Immortal Continent.

It was simply boundless.

No wonder the Master said that the entire Immortal Continent was, in fact, an immense plane, not just the main land.

The main land was only less than a tenth of the Immortal Continent in terms of material quantity.

"Of course, don't think too much. Celestials can't travel purely by flying," the bear-faced protector laughed. "The distant worlds you see there are born under the rotation of the source of the Immortal Continent's plane, creating countless small worlds."

"Your hometown is one of them."

Wu Yuan couldn't help but look up.

Each world, for the most part, resembled stars, but the majority of these worlds' surfaces were enveloped by thick world membranes.

They were essentially indistinguishable from stars.

And it was challenging to identify which one was which.

Some worlds, situated farther away, were indistinguishable from the stars in the sky.

"Follow me. In the future, when your strength is strong enough and you have enough time, you can slowly understand," said the bear-faced protector.

Wu Yuan nodded gently.

The two swiftly traversed the corridors in the starry sky, heading towards the inner part of the palace complex.

"The Blood Refining Demon Palace covers a vast area, and each mansion contains independent spaces and even worlds," explained the bear-faced protector as they walked. "Every member above the Purple Mansion Realm can have a mansion here."

"The farther inward the mansion, the more massive it is, and the more functional permissions it has."

"The most crucial is the legendary 'Star Master Hall,' where the great and supreme Star Master is said to reside," the bear-faced protector spoke with a hint of reverence in his eyes.

"Star Master?" Wu Yuan was slightly stunned.

"Yes!"

"In our Red Moon faction, all are led by the Star Master," the bear-faced protector said solemnly. "It is said that there is more than one Celestial in the faction, but there is always only one Star Master."

Wu Yuan was secretly amazed.

Star Master? It sounded formidable.

As they proceeded, they encountered many strong cultivators in the Purple Mansion and Refinement realms, each person hurrying along the way.

There were quite a few powerful beings living in this temporal and spatial dimension.

However, no one along the way stopped Wu Yuan and the bear-faced protector.

"Remember, on ordinary days, if you haven't received orders, you must not trespass into the mansions of the immortals," the bear-faced protector warned. "The mansions of the immortals are in the inner city, and they are guarded by puppet warriors."

Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

The journey so far basically adhered to this point.

After a full quarter of an hour, Wu Yuan and the bear-faced protector arrived at a super-large mansion deep within the continuous palace complex.

From a distance, Wu Yuan saw a black-armored man standing on the square outside the mansion. He wore a smile on his face, exuding a domineering aura that was suffocating.

His aura was vast and extraordinary!

Seeing him, Wu Yuan felt as if he had encountered the Sect Master of the Dragon Star Immortal Sect, only more domineering and indifferent.

"Terrifying."

Wu Yuan was secretly amazed. "I've seen many powerful cultivators in my main body, but compared to him, Xu You, a Dao Immortal, and Xiang Sheng, a Dao Immortal, are far from comparable."

"Only Martial Master, comparable to him, is a Higher Immortal." Wu Yuan deduced.

As for his Master?

In front of Wu Yuan, Senior Nan Yin had not displayed much power.

"Pay respects to Senior." The bear-faced protector bowed respectfully. "Wu Yuan, why haven't you bowed yet?"

"Wu Yuan pays respects to Senior Wu Tian." Wu Yuan bowed.

When you should lower your head, you should lower your head.

"No need for excessive courtesy, rise." Wu Tian Senior looked down at Wu Yuan, quite satisfied, and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips.

This scene surprised the bear-faced protector even more.

He smiled!

The Senior actually smiled?

In his memory, Senior Wu Tian had never smiled.

"Xiong Yuan." Senior Wu Tian's gaze fell on the bear-faced protector, his tone turning cold, saying, "This time, you did well. Wait here for now; I'll contact you if needed."

"Yes." The bear-faced protector nodded.

"Wu Yuan, follow me." Senior Wu Tian waved his hand, and an invisible force enveloped Wu Yuan. The two instantly disappeared from the spot.

Leaving behind the bear-faced protector alone.

"Ah."

"I misunderstood." The bear-faced protector sighed inwardly, shaking his head. "Senior didn't smile at me, but at Wu Yuan."

"However."

"Where does Senior want to take Wu Yuan?" The bear-faced protector felt puzzled.

Buzz~

Wu Yuan felt his head go dizzy, and following that, everything went black. When it brightened again, he had appeared in front of a towering palace.

Senior Wu Tian was standing beside him.

The entire palace was ancient and majestic, but it wasn't fundamentally different from Senior Wu Tian's palace just now.

The only difference was the star pattern engraved on the plaque above the main door.

Stars? Wu Yuan was puzzled.

"Wu Yuan, you've performed very well, beyond my expectations." Senior Wu Tian looked down at Wu Yuan, his voice gentle. "At least, in the Golden Core stage, you can be considered the first genius in our Red Moon faction for the past millions of years."

"Senior exaggerates." Wu Yuan said modestly.

Being called the first genius in millions of years was a praise Wu Yuan felt somewhat unworthy of.

"Don't think I'm exaggerating. This isn't my words but the Star Master's," Senior Wu Tian smiled. "Since the Star Master said so, there must be a reason."

"Follow me. Let's go see the Star Master."

"See the Star Master?" Wu Yuan was suddenly shocked. He finally understood why Senior Wu Tian treated him so well.

And he understood where this was — the Star Master Hall!

The residence of the rulers of the entire Blood Refining Demon Palace Red Moon faction?

Would such a supreme existence want to meet him?

Wu Yuan instinctively felt nervous.

This Star Master, even if not as strong as the Red Moon Celestial, was undoubtedly an extremely powerful figure among Celestials.

"Don't be nervous."

"Remember, just be courteous," Senior Wu Tian said in a low voice. However, even in his own voice, there was an imperceptible tension.

After all,

Not to mention Wu Yuan being shocked to meet the Star Master, Senior Wu Tian himself had never seen the Star Master.

Celestials have a lifespan of a million years.

But the Star Master, such an existence, if anything delays the meeting, perhaps it could be a million years just to leave, so not meeting is the norm.

As the two approached,

"Senior Wu Tian?" The seemingly sculpted black-armored soldier at the door suddenly spoke, its icy eyes sweeping over Senior Wu Tian.

Making Senior Wu Tian tremble.

"Yes." Senior Wu Tian nodded.

"Go in; the Star Master is waiting for you inside." The black-armored soldier closed his eyes again, and his aura concealed itself once more.

Like an ordinary object, making it difficult for people to notice him again.

"Puppet?" Wu Yuan was secretly surprised. From start to finish, the other party never questioned him, obviously not considering him a threat.

Entering the palace,

Buzz~ An invisible breath instantly enveloped the two. There was nothing special inside the palace, only a robust figure about six meters tall, wearing dark red battle armor with extremely complex secret patterns.

He stood there.

As if the center of the entire universe, the surroundings seemed to darken, making Wu Yuan's gaze involuntarily fall on him.

"What a terrifying powerhouse." Wu Yuan's heart instinctively trembled.

This dark red figure.

Absolutely one of the strongest Wu Yuan had ever seen in his life.

Even the spiritual imprint left by the Great Witch Kuafu was far inferior.

Of course, not that Kuafu was weak, but that imprint was ultimately just a spiritual mark.

And what was in front of him.

Was a genuinely formidable existence!

At this moment, facing this dark red figure in battle armor, Wu Yuan instinctively dared not look directly at him and tried to lower his head.

Senior Wu Tian also instinctively sweated on his forehead.

"I, a powerhouse of the Demon Palace, shouldn't bow easily." A gentle voice suddenly sounded, this voice seemed to have a magical power.

Completely dispelling the previous oppression.

In an instant,

That dark red figure in battle armor stood there, seeming like an ordinary powerhouse, emanating infinite warmth.

"Wu Tian, meet the Star Master." Senior Wu Tian bowed respectfully.

"Wu Yuan, meet the Star Master." Wu Yuan respectfully said.

At this moment, he fully understood that this was an incredible and surpassing existence.

Most likely a supreme existence among Celestials.

"Wu Tian, you can step aside for now." The dark red figure in battle armor spoke with a thunderous voice, carrying a hint of gentleness. "Wu Yuan, you can rise as well."

Both stood up.

"You may call me 'Yin He Star Master' or 'Yin He Celestial,'" the dark red figure in battle armor looked down at Wu Yuan.

Yin He? Wu Yuan silently remembered.

On the side, Senior Wu Tian was surprised.

Wu Yuan didn't understand, how could he not? He could tell his name at first sight.

This represented the Star Master's extreme attention to Wu Yuan.

"I've seen your battle images; you're quite good, and your foundation is very solid. You should be a Shaman Cultivator," Yin He Star Master smiled. "Your bonded spirit beast should be a Sky-Soaring Serpent, right?"

"Star Master is perceptive," Wu Yuan replied.

It's not surprising that Wu Yuan was seen through. After all, Shaman Armor and Hidden Snake Feathers could deceive Purple Mansion Realm and Refining Void Realm, but how could they hide from the great Star Master?

Moreover, based on the understanding of the Qi Refining Avatar, Wu Yuan knew that Shaman Cultivators were only hostile within the 'Immortal Court Lineage.'

In the Taiyuan Divine Court, they were just one of the less common cultivation paths.

"With such talent, you should have had some adventures. Can you share them?" Yin He Star Master seemed to casually ask.

Wu Yuan's heart tightened.

It seemed unintentional, but it might not be.

This might be probing his details. It was normal since any force that wanted to cultivate a top talent would undoubtedly want to find out their background.

"Reporting to the Star Master, disciple was born in the Central Earth of the Xia Mountain world. In his youth, he obtained an inheritance from a Shaman tribe called 'Ding Shaman Realm,'" Wu Yuan did not hesitate and quickly revealed everything about the Ding Shaman Realm.

Things that can't be hidden!

No need to conceal.

Moreover, Wu Yuan understood that the treasures and inheritance of the Ding Shaman Realm might be tempting for the Purple Mansion Realm but not significant for the Refining Void Realm.

As for Celestials?

The treasures of the Ding Shaman Realm would be a joke!

Wu Yuan basically did not hide anything, including the matter of the Insect Demon. Wu Yuan did not hide it, except for two points.

One was the matter of the Qi Refining Avatar.

The other was the divinely-bestowed Shaman Patterns, insisting that he cultivated them in the Ding Shaman Realm, and with his exceptional talent, he directly achieved the Second-rank Shaman Foundation.

"Well, you haven't lied," Yin He Star Master seemed to have deduced and guessed Wu Yuan's information in advance.

"Your talent is indeed very high."

"Alone, you cultivated diligently on an isolated island in a small world, unknowingly entering the path of the stars. Your spiritual talent is also extremely amazing. Considering your overall talent, you can be called the first person in the Red Moon Faction in the past million years," Yin He Star Master smiled. "Now that you have come to the Blood Refining Demon Palace, I believe your strength will progress faster under the cultivation of the Demon Palace."

Wu Yuan listened silently.

"I hope that in this Blood Refining Battle, you can do your best to compete for the Blood Refining King," Yin He Star Master slowly said.

Chapter 287: The Second Median Law (Extra for the Silver League Lord 'Absolute Xiaoyao')

"Blood Refining King?" Wu Yuan was slightly stunned.

He had only heard Xiong Yuan mentioning the Blood Refining Marquis when talking about the Holy Son.

Blood Refining King? He knew nothing about it.

On the side, Senior Wu Tian revealed a trace of surprise. As an Immortal, he naturally understood the significance of the Blood Refining King.

"May I ask, Star Master, what is the Blood Refining King?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Even though he was confident, just by listening, he knew that this was probably very difficult, and he couldn't promise it easily.

Aim high, but stay grounded.

"You've just entered my Blood Refining Demon Palace, and you probably don't have a clear understanding of the Blood Refining Battle," Yin He Star Master appeared gentle and smiled, "The Blood Refining Battle is divided into two levels: Golden Elixir and Purple Mansion."

"The Purple Mansion Blood Refining Battle is currently unrelated to you. I can briefly mention it. It is a battle between over a thousand first-level branches and over four million second-level branches of the entire Blood Refining Demon Palace. All Purple Mansion cultivators, the scale is vast, beyond your imagination," Yin He Star Master said in a deep voice.

Wu Yuan listened in amazement.

This! This!

This was too exaggerated.

The Red Moon Faction of the Blood Refining Demon Palace was at the same level as the Red Moon Immortal Palace. Were there really over four million such branches?

Purple Mansion Realm cultivators generally cultivated for several times the time of the Golden Elixir Realm. How many extraordinary talents would that accumulate?

Just thinking about it made his heart tremble.

"The Purple Mansion Battle is considered the genius battle of my entire Blood Refining Demon Palace," Yin He Star Master sighed, "Anyone who can rise from the Purple Mansion Blood Refining Battle can be called one of the most top-notch geniuses in the entire Great Realm."

Wu Yuan nodded involuntarily.

"The Golden Elixir Blood Refining Battle doesn't have too many participants just in terms of numbers," Yin He Star Master sighed, "After all, there are too many Golden Elixir cultivators."

"For example, in my Red Moon Faction, it is expected that the gathered Golden Elixir cultivators will reach over one billion this time."

"The entire Golden Elixir Blood Refining Battle is estimated to have over five hundred billion participants, and the expected survivors will not exceed fifty billion. The rest will all die," Yin He Star Master said indifferently.

But Wu Yuan was shocked to hear this.

He finally realized the cruelty of the Blood Refining Battle, with a probability of death exceeding ninety-nine percent!

"Due to the large number of participants."

"So, the Golden Elixir Blood Refining Battle is held by various first-level branches," Yin He Star Master looked at Wu Yuan, "In other words, your opponents are the thousands of second-level branches under the White Cang Branch, and the overall strength won't be very exaggerated."

"You have gone through the Dark Star; you should be aware of it," Yin He Star Master said lightly.

Wu Yuan nodded gently, "I know."

He also remembered the historical rankings of various levels in the Golden Elixir Dark Star, which was also public information:

White Cang Branch Historical First: Nineteenth Level

Red Moon Branch Historical First: Sixteenth Level

White Cang Branch Contemporary First: Sixteenth Level

Red Moon Branch Contemporary First: Thirteenth Level

"I have watched your battle images, and judging from a comprehensive perspective, your current strength should be ranked between two hundred and three hundred," Yin He Star Master said.

Wu Yuan nodded slightly; this was similar to his estimate.

Among over five hundred billion participating Golden Elixir cultivators, being able to rank in the top three hundred is considered a one-in-a-billion talent, and such strength is already terrifying.

In the entire Immortal Country, they belong to the top-tier strength of Golden Elixir cultivators.

"But you must remember that those participating in the Blood Refining Battle are not only the talents of my Blood Refining Demon Palace, but also a large number of talents from the White Cang Immortal Country. They will also participate," Yin He Star Master said, "Although unwilling to admit it, due to the difference in territorial population, the geniuses born in the White Cang Immortal Country are several times, even ten times, more than the first-level branches of my Blood Refining Demon Palace."

Wu Yuan sighed inwardly.

Territory is very important!

Like the Red Moon Immortal Palace occupying the main continent of the Immortal Continent, the extraordinary talents born in the vast territory were far superior to those of the Red Moon Faction of the Blood Refining Demon Palace.

This, no one can change.

"Although the number of genius cultivators from the Immortal Country participating is small, the dazzling ones among them are no less than the top talents of my Blood Refining Demon Palace, and they may be even stronger."

"So, in my comprehensive judgment, with your current strength, you are estimated to be around five hundred in the final Golden Elixir Blood Refining Battle," Yin He Star Master said softly, "The hope of seizing the Blood Refining Marquis is very high."

"The so-called Blood Refining Marquis is the Golden Elixir cultivator who ranks in the top eight hundred in the end."

"The ranking is determined by the Blood Demon Order and opportunities, two factors," Yin He Star Master said slowly, "The number of Blood Demon Orders represents the strong you have killed. The more you kill, the more Blood Demon Orders you have, and the greater the hope when participating in the final opportunity competition."

"And the competition for opportunities, in terms of strength, also depends on luck and talent," Yin He Star Master looked at Wu Yuan, "Talent!"

"That is your hope of competing for the Blood Refining King."

"However, since it is the Blood Refining King, there is only one."

Yin He Star Master said solemnly, "In other words, in the Blood Refining Battle, only the one who ranks first in the end can obtain the title of king."

Wu Yuan fell silent.

Top eight hundred? In terms of strength and talent, Wu Yuan believed he was not lacking, naturally having the ambition to compete for the title of Blood Refining Marquis.

But the Blood Refining King?

No matter how confident Wu Yuan was, he didn't dare to say that he could sweep across the entire White Cang Immortal Country and compete with the top talents of his generation.

Even in terms of talent, it might not be the first in the entire Immortal Country.

After all, the entire White Cang Immortal Country is too vast, with over six thousand Immortal Isles and countless beings. Who knows how many extraordinary talents there are?

"Star Master."

Wu Yuan chose to tell the truth, shaking his head, "To be honest, I am confident in winning the title of Blood Refining Marquis, but to win the title of Blood Refining King?"

"I don't have confidence." Wu Yuan looked at Yin He Star Master, feeling a bit nervous.

To tell the Star Master that he lacked confidence was like an employee telling the boss that he couldn't complete the task. How could he not be nervous?

Not only was Wu Yuan nervous, but even Senior Wu Tian on the side was a bit nervous, afraid that the great Star Master would be annoyed by this.

"Haha!"

"Good." Yin He Star Master laughed instead, "If you told me you were very confident, I would have doubted if I had read you wrong."

Wu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, as long as you can break into the final opportunity, there is still a glimmer of hope for success," Yin He Star Master turned the conversation, smiling, "I never speak without reason."

How extraordinary is Yin He Star Master?

Among the many Celestial Immortals in the entire White Cang Immortal Country, he stands at the peak as a top-tier powerhouse, and he has lived through countless long years, well aware of some secrets of the Blood Refining Battle.

Yes, in terms of strength, Wu Yuan is not the most top-notch.

But in terms of potential, he is definitely top-notch, not to mention that Yin He Star Master has sensed some special potential from Wu Yuan.

"Moreover, don't be discouraged."

"There are still three years left. If you cultivate in seclusion for a few more years in the Demon Palace, I believe your strength will definitely improve," Yin He Star Master smiled, "By then, the hope of seizing the title of Blood Refining King will not be without hope."

"Yes, Wu Yuan will do his best." Wu Yuan respectfully said.

Although he was full of doubts in his heart, since Yin He Star Master was so confident, Wu Yuan didn't dare to continue saying that he had no confidence.

"A glimmer of hope to seize the title of king?" Wu Tian on the side was secretly surprised.

Blood Refining King!

In theory, White Cang Faction has over five thousand second-level branches, and statistically, it rotates about once every fifty thousand years.

However, in reality, it's not the case at all.

Because every time, a large number of Immortal Country geniuses participate in the battle.

So, the last time the Red Moon Faction won the title of Golden Elixir Blood Refining King was over two million years ago. If we go back two more times, it was three million years ago.

If Wu Yuan practices for another hundred years, his strength will be significantly stronger.

Senior Wu Tian felt hopeful and the hope was great.

But now? Hope is faint, almost zero.

After all, the title of Blood Refining King is earned through bloody battles. The score occupied by the Blood Refining opportunity is not considered high. In history, ninety-nine percent of Blood Refining Kings are extraordinary geniuses whose Blood Demon Order ranks in the top ten.

The title of Blood Refining King falling outside the top hundred in Blood Demon Orders?

At least, in the past few billion years, such a thing has never happened in the million Golden Elixir Blood Refining battles held by the White Cang Immortal Country.

"Remember, if you win the title of Blood Refining King, whether the Star Lord is willing to accept you as a disciple, I don't know," Yin He Star Master smiled, "However, I will definitely recommend you to other Star Lords in my Blood Refining Demon Palace who are proficient in the 'Way of the Stars', and they will accept you as their disciple."

Wu Yuan was puzzled.

On the side, Senior Wu Tian's eyes flashed with a hint of envy. Star Lord accepting disciples? You must know that even he, as a Celestial Immortal, it is impossible to become a Star Lord's named disciple.

Star Lord accepting disciples.

Either they have a personality that matches their own, or they are truly extraordinary geniuses.

Obviously, Wu Yuan belongs to the latter.

"In addition, I also promise you."

"If you win the title of Blood Refining Marquis, I promise you will become the Lord of the Xia Mountain."

"If you become the Blood Refining King, then, in the future, even if you fall, I will still protect your clan and group for a million years," Yin He Star Master said slowly, looking at Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan listened in awe.

This is creating hope.

But a true expert in creating hope will make people feel hopeful under the premise of extreme desire.

At least, just the identity of 'Lord of Xia Mountain' is worth Wu Yuan's desperate struggle for the title of Blood Refining Marquis.

"For the remaining three years, I will do my best to cultivate," Wu Yuan secretly determined. "Although the Qi Refining Avatar is in the Dragon Star Immortal Sect and does not participate in the Blood Refining Battle, I cannot slack off. I must strive to cross the threshold of the 'Way of Ten Thousand Longevity'."

Once he comprehends the two middle-level laws and combines them, Wu Yuan's strength will soar even more.

"In these three years, I will do my best to help you, sending you three million merits as a reward for crossing the thirteen levels of the Dark Star," Yin He Star Master continued, "You can use these merits to choose the resources you need for your cultivation."

"In addition, I observe that you are at the seventh level of the Spiritual Body."

"So, I'll give you a resource called 'Earthy Source Desolation Sun Elixir,' which is very suitable for your current state. If you work hard to absorb it, you should be able to reach the ninth level of the Spiritual Body before the battle," Yin He Star Master said, "Finally, I will give you a teacher."

"Teacher?" Wu Yuan was stunned.

Hoo!

Yin He Star Master waved his hand, and countless points of light converged, forming a figure shrouded in a black robe, appearing at the other end of the great hall.

Standing there, an endless murderous aura faintly dispersed.

Absolutely like a god of slaughter!

"This one is the 'Dust Lamp Star Master' in the White Cang Faction, proficient in the Way of the Stars," Yin He Star Master said softly, "He is a super existence of the same level as me."

"Greetings, Dust Lamp Star Master." Wu Tian Immortal and Wu Yuan both respectfully bowed.

They were shocked.

Another Star Master?

"Yin He, this little guy should be the 'Wu Yuan' you mentioned," Dust Lamp Star Master's voice was dull, with a hint of weirdness.

Staring at Wu Yuan.

Making Wu Yuan instinctively uneasy.

"Yes." Yin He Star Master nodded, looking at Wu Yuan. "Wu Yuan, this Dust Lamp Star Master has almost comprehended the Way of the Stars and was specially brought here for you."

"For the next three years, every month, he will guide you in cultivation."

"A total of thirty times!"

Wu Yuan's eyes brightened.

Although there is guidance from the Master.

But the Master is only a Sixth Heaven Immortal, how can he compare to a great Star Master?

Being able to invite Dust Lamp Star Master to guide himself, Yin He Star Master must have paid a huge price.

"I've done everything I can to help you. But how much you can grow in the end and whether you can win the title of Blood Refining King depends on your efforts," Yin He Star Master said lightly.

"Yes, thank you, Star Master." Wu Yuan respectfully said.

Then, Wu Yuan turned to Dust Lamp Star Master in the distance and bowed respectfully, "Wu Yuan, I also trouble Dust Lamp Star Master."

Dust Lamp Star Master nodded slightly, saying only, "A month later, my avatar will come to your mansion to guide you in cultivation."

Wu Yuan nodded.

"All that needs to be said has been said. Go," Yin He Star Master waved his hand, and an invisible force directly moved Wu Yuan and Wu Tian Immortal out of the divine hall.

In the hall.

Only Yin He Star Master remained, along with the mere incarnation of Dust Lamp Star Master. The two looked at each other from a distance.

"How is it?" Yin He Star Master smiled.

"It's indeed not bad, qualified to become my named disciple," Dust Lamp Star Master said in a low voice, with a hint of weirdness. "However, whether to accept disciples depends on the specific situation."

"At least, it has to wait until the end of the Blood Refining Battle." Dust Lamp Star Master said.

"Okay, it's up to you. We are good friends. I'm just recommending him to you," Yin He Star Master said softly. "You should understand that his talent is much stronger than the average Blood Refining King."

"Finding a suitable successor is not so easy." Yin He Star Master said.

"I know." Dust Lamp Star Master said lightly.

Blood Refining Kings, within the entire White Cang Faction, are born every hundred years. As for Wu Yuan? His talent is high enough to be the first in the Red Moon Faction for tens of millions of years!

In Yin He Star Master's view, looking at the entire Blood Refining Palace White Cang Faction, in terms of talent, Wu Yuan could be considered a once-in-a-millennium genius.

...

Leaving the Star Master's hall, Wu Tian Immortal led Wu Yuan back to his own palace.

Xiong Yuan Guardian had been waiting here.

"Wu Yuan, Star Master has high expectations for you, even inviting a Star Master from the White Cang Faction to guide you. Work hard and don't let Star Master down," Wu Tian Immortal said softly. "If you need anything for cultivation, just let me know."

"I will instruct about your hometown world; you don't need to worry."

"Just focus on cultivation," Wu Tian Immortal said.

"Thank you, Immortal." Wu Yuan nodded.

"Additionally, the Star Master has instructed that once you officially enter the Blood Refining Immortal Realm, all the battle images of geniuses who passed through the Dark Star Thirteen Layers in the entire White Cang Faction will be sent to your personal palace. Remember to check it then," Wu Tian Immortal instructed.

"Got it." Wu Yuan nodded.

...

Xiong Yuan Guardian was not aware of the Star Master's matters; he only knew that Wu Tian Immortal treated Wu Yuan very kindly, as if treating a nephew.

Naturally, he became more courteous towards Wu Yuan, even with a hint of flattery.

Having left the Red Moon Magic Palace and returned to the original Blood World, Xiong Yuan Guardian brought Wu Yuan here, causing quite a stir.

Many people quickly paid attention.

"Is he Wu Yuan?"

"Yes, he looks similar to the images circulating in the Blood Refining Immortal Realm."

"So powerful aura."

"Remember his spiritual aura; if you encounter him in the Blood Refining Battle, make sure to stay far away." Many Golden Core Blood Seedlings discussed.

They all considered themselves geniuses.

But facing Wu Yuan? They didn't even have the courage to fight.

"He's heading to the number one mansion in White Li."

"Of course, with Wu Yuan's strength, if he doesn't go to the number one mansion, where else can he go?" A Blood Seedling shook his head.

The capable take the lead.

This concept is deeply ingrained in the hearts of the strong in the Blood Refining Magic Palace.

Outside the number one mansion.

"White Li, I've seen Junior Brother Wu Yuan." The white-clad girl, White Li, looked harmless and smiled, saluting.

"Senior Sister White Li." Wu Yuan returned the courtesy.

After Xiong Yuan Guardian's narration all the way, he roughly knew the information about the Blood Seedlings of the Red Moon Faction, especially White Li and Shui Heng.

Therefore, Wu Yuan would not be deceived by White Li's appearance. He was well aware of the decisiveness of the girl in front of him; she was truly a top-notch genius.

However, as Wu Yuan swept his gaze around, he did not see another top-notch genius, Shui Heng.

"Junior Brother Wu Yuan, with your strength, you should occupy the number one mansion. I won't embarrass myself and voluntarily give it up," White Li said with a smile.

"Trouble Senior Sister." Wu Yuan smiled, not being modest.

Wu Yuan gradually understood the rules of the Blood Refining Magic Palace. If you have strong strength, don't be modest. Take the benefits you deserve straightforwardly.

Modesty?

Others will only see you as weak!

"If the handover is smooth, I won't stay longer." Xiong Yuan Guardian on the side smiled. "Wu Yuan, explore slowly. All the details about the Magic Palace will be introduced in the Blood Refining Immortal Realm."

"If you don't understand, come and ask me."

"Okay." Wu Yuan nodded.

Soon after, Xiong Yuan Guardian left. Wu Yuan bid farewell to Bai Li and went straight to the number one mansion. Inside the mansion, numerous Qi Sea realm servants respectfully saluted.

They were accustomed to the change of mansion owners.

"The number one mansion?" Bai Li looked at Wu Yuan entering the mansion, her eyes somewhat complicated. This was the mansion she had lived in for over ten years.

Standing outside the mansion for a while.

Swoosh!

Bai Li soared into the sky. In just a few breaths, she reached another large mansion. Her appearance seemed gentle, but her voice was extremely cold and spread like rolling thunder. "Xi Xin, I've set my eyes on your mansion. Get out."

A rule in the First Star District.

Except for the fixed number one mansion, the other mansions are determined solely by strength. Whoever is strong can choose the mansion they like.

Inside the quiet room of the number one mansion...

Wu Yuan paid no attention to the commotion he caused in the Blood Refining Magic Palace's Red Moon Faction. He was sending a strand of thought into the Blood Refining Immortal Realm.

Here, it was also vast and magical.

Places like the Dao Cang Tower had everything you could imagine, and buying treasures could be done in the Blood Refining Immortal Realm.

"Let's first look at the rules of the Blood Refining Magic Palace." Wu Yuan immediately read through numerous virtual immortal scrolls in his personal palace.

As time passed, Wu Yuan read through each one, deepening and clarifying his understanding of the entire Blood Refining Magic Palace.

This was a powerful and fiercely competitive superpower!

After a long time, Wu Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of longing. "What I can do is strengthen myself, continuously grow stronger in the Blood Refining Magic Palace, become the strongest of my generation, and eventually transcend the tribulation to become a Heavenly Witch."

Successfully transcending the tribulation as a witch is to become a Heavenly Witch.

"First, exchange the 'merit' given by Star Master Yin He for a Daoist scripture suitable for me." This was what Wu Yuan had been longing for.

Only by cultivating a powerful Daoist scripture of the Stellar Path could he unleash the full power of his body refining avatar.

The Dao Cang Tower in the Blood Refining Immortal Realm was incredibly rich! It possessed almost ten times the number of techniques and secrets compared to the Dragon Star Immortal Sect, showcasing the astonishing foundation of this superpower.

Of course, this was closely related to Wu Yuan's 'Blood Seed' privileges, which qualified him to exchange for almost all techniques.

Through the requirements for exchanging many techniques, Wu Yuan roughly judged that one 'merit' in the Blood Refining Magic Palace was roughly equivalent to a hundred Source Crystals, more than ten times the value of an equivalent Dragon Crystal in the Dragon Star Immortal Sect.

"Stellar Path!"

"Daoist Scripture." After careful selection, Wu Yuan finally chose an extremely powerful Daoist scripture – the "Star Splitting Blade Scripture."

This was a genuine combat technique.

The entire scripture was divided into nine layers, each core of which consisted of eight great techniques: Star Splitting, Solar Blaze, Earth Burial, Celestial Treading, Infinite Extremes, Myriad Blades, Vast Earth Profundity, and Waves of Myriad Stars.

Different techniques not only represented means to deal with different environments but also reflected the state of mind of the creator of the scripture.

The eight great techniques were not absolutely strong or weak; each had its own merits.

"The 'Star Splitting Blade Scripture,' just the first six layers, requires five hundred thousand merits?" Wu Yuan shook his head inwardly.

Too expensive.

If you exchange for the entire set of blade techniques, it will require five million Magic Palace merits.

It's simply frightening.

Therefore, after some consideration, Wu Yuan only exchanged for the first six layers, which would be enough for him to practice for a long time.

...As Wu Yuan began to ponder the powerful Daoist scripture "Star Splitting Blade Scripture."

An order.

Issued to Rao Jin Guardian: "Zi Fu True Man Huo Yan, sensing an extraordinary genius but not reporting it, violating the palace rules, a capital crime, execute immediately!"

"Yes." Rao Jin Guardian's heart trembled. He had been paying attention to Wu Yuan all along and naturally knew how dazzling Wu Yuan was. It was much more powerful than he had imagined.

But he didn't expect retaliation against Huo Yan True Man to come so quickly.

A capital crime?

Faced with the order issued by the highest level of the Blood Refining Magic Palace, Huo Yan True Man, who was still in fear, made no struggle.

He was directly executed.

After all, with the joint efforts of the Refining Void Realm and the Holy Realm, Huo Yan True Man, despite being in the eighth stage of the Purple Mansion, had no resistance.

Huo Yan True Man, the strongest in the Xia Shan world.

He died silently like this.

... "Huo Yan True Man, dead?" When Wu Yuan received the message from Xiong Yuan Guardian, he was stunned.

He didn't expect that one of his most feared enemies, a mighty eighth-stage cultivator of the Purple Mansion, would quietly die like this.

This made Wu Yuan further realize the cruelty of the Blood Refining Magic Palace.

If placed in the Dragon Star Immortal Sect, unless Wu Yuan took direct action, directly executing a high-level Purple Mansion cultivator would require evidence.

"This is power."

"I don't even need to take action, and an enemy is dead." Wu Yuan's eyes became cold. "I must be more careful in the Magic Palace; I must not become the second Huo Yan True Man."

"I must become stronger."

"If I am strong, there is no danger in the Central Plains. Once I fall, unable to return as the refining avatar, the Central Plains will likely face a great calamity." Wu Yuan thought to himself.

As time passed day by day.

Wu Yuan communicated with some Qi Sea realm Blood Refining Seeds.

He also made friends with some Purple Mansion cultivators and Refining Void Knights in the Blood Refining Magic Palace, quickly integrating into the order of the Blood Refining Magic Palace.

His cultivation in the Blood Refining Magic Palace gradually took the right path.

With the "Stellar Code" as the core and the "Star Splitting Blade Scripture" as the auxiliary.

Compared to the "Mystic Yellow Sword Array" and "Star Hub Sword Array," Wu Yuan's refining avatar found the "Star Splitting Blade Scripture" more handy.

Two avatars had their differences.

And every month, the incarnation of the Dust Lamp Star Lord would arrive at the mansion on time to guide Wu Yuan in practicing the "Star Splitting Blade Scripture."

"This blade technique is very suitable for you."

"Practice well." At the beginning, the Dust Lamp Star Lord was still high and indifferent, seemingly unmoved by Wu Yuan's talent.

But in just three months.

"How can progress be so fast?"

"It's too exaggerated."

"Too fast." The Dust Lamp Star Lord was shocked by Wu Yuan's progress speed. This progress in the 'Stellar Dao' was even intimidating to him.

However.

Seeing such a powerful disciple in Wu Yuan, the Dust Lamp Star Lord became increasingly pleased, and his guidance became more and more earnest.

Prompting Wu Yuan to progress even faster.

... "My master taught me to comprehend the Stellar Dao with the 'Mystic Yellow Sword Canon' and 'Star Hub Sword Canon,' guiding from the perspective of the sword, more suitable for the refining avatar."

"While the Dust Lamp Star Lord guides me from the perspective of the blade."

"Both of them alternately guide me, two avatars mutually verifying, testing." With the increasingly powerful divine soul, Wu Yuan felt that his progress in the Stellar Dao was advancing rapidly.

Breaking through one level after another.

Unraveling one puzzle after another.

"Amazing!"

"This Wu Yuan is a rare talent." The Dust Lamp Star Lord became even more astonished. "Is he really the once-in-a-million-year genius of the Crimson Moon Branch?"

"In the entire Crimson Moon Branch, in over a hundred million years, has there ever been such a talented genius?"

"Incredible."

"Progress can still get faster and faster." The Dust Lamp Star Lord was incredulous but also had to be impressed by Wu Yuan's speed of progress.

He truly had the intention to take Wu Yuan as his disciple.

"Wait, don't be in a hurry."

"Wait until the Blood Refining Battle is over."

...

As time passed, the two avatars mutually verified their comprehension, one in the Dragon Star Immortal Sect, the other in the Blood Refining Magic Palace, both fully focused on cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

Dragon Star Immortal Sect headquarters, the mansion world, the spell trial area covering tens of thousands of miles.

"Condense!"

Wu Yuan's refining avatar hovered in the void, his mind moved.

Suddenly, a vast green Qi flowed all around him.

Mighty and overwhelming.

Each strand of green Qi seemed like a vine, like a chain, containing astonishing vitality and tenacity.

All of them surrounded Wu Yuan.

Suddenly.

"Swoosh!" A flying sword appeared, carrying layers of green Qi, streaking across the sky. The fleeting sword intent was surging! And resilient!

"This sword, 'Immortal Longevity Sword Canon,' I have stepped into the gateway of this sword canon." Wu Yuan gently closed his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips. "The path of eternal life, I finally touched it."

"My master said that if I can break through before a hundred years old, it's considered good."

"But."

"I am now less than fifty-three years old."

"The path of eternal life is the second intermediate law I comprehend." Wu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam in his eyes. "Combining these two paths, how powerful will my strength become?"
