Heavenly Cave Remnants, Blood Spirit Legacy

The Heavenly Cave remnants in Hongzhou are much larger than those in Bingzhou, but they lack the feeling of a celestial cave and instead resemble a true underground cavern.

One can even see the presence of soil, rocks, and some small hills.

In this seemingly dim Heavenly Cave, there is also some light, like the first light of dawn, in a hazy gray state.

"At the bottom of the Heavenly Cave, there is no longer any unrefined qi surging in, and it has already solidified. The power of the Dao has condensed, equivalent to completely sealing off the barrier between heaven and earth.

"It is precisely because of this that it has become a remnant."

Li Xuan's gaze turned towards the bottom of the Heavenly Cave, and he found the answer in his heart.

The reason it became a remnant is because the Heavenly Cave has been completely sealed off, with the presence of soil and rocks, and no unrefined qi flowing in.

The barrier between heaven and earth is firm, and the aura from outside the world can no longer penetrate.

"The remaining unrefined qi is very thin, but it still affects the Heavenly Cave. This is also the reason for the birth of divine artifacts."

Li Xuan observed the remnants of the Heavenly Cave.

Xu Yan and the others had already begun exploring the remnants of the Heavenly Cave, and the other talented individuals who had entered were also exploring everywhere, feeling very curious about these remnants.

Wu Tiannan strolled leisurely through the remnants of the Heavenly Cave, equally curious about them.

Once the headmaster of the Wanxing Martial Academy, he was at the pinnacle of the Spiritual Domain, yet he knew nothing about the remnants of the Heavenly Cave.

From this, it can be inferred that the remnants of the Heavenly Cave are the core secret of the Transcendent Spirit Sect.

Since the arrival of the Divine Bridge, Wu Tiannan realized that the Transcendent Spirit Sect had a backer.

In other words, the Transcendent Spirit Sect is actually a subordinate sect of certain forces in the Spiritual Domain.

What exactly is the other side of the Divine Bridge?

The Heavenly Venerables come from the other side of the Divine Bridge, and the main task of the Transcendent Spirit Sect is to search for and cultivate Spirit Body prodigies.

In the vast Spiritual Domain, Spirit Body prodigies are extremely rare.

These Spirit Body prodigies will eventually be sent to the other side of the Divine Bridge and enter the forces they belong to.

Only by going to the other side of the Divine Bridge can one break through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm.

Suddenly, Wu Tiannan's footsteps halted.

He looked at the small mound in front of him with suspicion.

"What is this?"

The small hill was not large, only about two zhang high and five to six zhang in diameter, but Wu Tiannan discovered something special on the mound.

Traces left by humans!

These traces were not obvious, and only someone familiar with them could detect that they were left by humans!

"He has been to the remnants of the Heavenly Cave? How did he manage to conceal it from the Transcendent Spirit Sect and come in? Is this a message left for me?"

Wu Tiannan furrowed his brows.

Thinking of these traces, he thought of a person.

The Blood Spirit Child, also known as the Blood Demon!

Once a prodigy of the Wanxing Martial Academy and someone he once considered as a successor to the headmaster position.

However, things change, and the Blood Spirit Child eventually embarked on a path of slaughter.

Even though he went mad and became unparalleled in slaughter, the Blood Demon never laid a hand on the Wanxing Martial Academy, nor did he deliberately target it.

This meant that he still had some sentiment towards it.

Perhaps, he still had feelings for his former position as the headmaster.

Wu Tiannan's thoughts drifted, as if he had returned to that period of time, to that resentful youth, to that youth who swore to rise up, to that youth who vowed to make his abandoned family regret.

Letting out a sigh in his heart, he raised his hand and followed the faint traces, continuously cutting into the mound.

Thin grooves appeared on the mound, continuously deepening into the soil.

At a certain moment, Wu Tiannan raised an eyebrow, as he had actually found something.

A small box, faintly red as if soaked in blood, with a few thin silk threads wrapped around it, forming some kind of arrangement.

If he hadn't followed the traces and taken out the box, but instead directly excavated the mound, the box would have instantly shattered, and the contents inside would have been destroyed.

"What do you want to leave me?"

Wu Tiannan was very curious.

No one knew that Blood Spirit Child had fallen and risen three times, and one of those times, Wu Tiannan had intervened to save him.

As for the other two times, Wu Tiannan had no knowledge of how he had risen.

Especially the last time, when Blood Spirit Child transformed into a blood demon, a blood-refining martial artist, and slaughtered countless people, which led to the joint assassination by the transcendent Lingzong.

Moreover, it seemed that Blood Spirit Child's strength had already reached the limit of the Spirit Realm, surpassing his own at that time!

With curiosity in his heart, Wu Tiannan opened the box.

Inside the pale red box was also a dark red color, as if it had been soaked in blood.

Inside the box, there was a dark red bead, as if it had been refined from essence blood, emitting a sinister aura and a hint of resentment.

Underneath the red bead, there was a small booklet.

The pale red booklet was made of some kind of leather.

Wu Tiannan took out the booklet.

"Could what is recorded in here be the blood-refining method?"

Wu Tiannan frowned. Blood Spirit Child's blood-refining method was extremely vicious, a true Demon Dao method, the true Demon Dao method in the history of the Spirit Realm.

"You should know that no matter how powerful this technique is, I will not cultivate it."

Wu Tiannan muttered to himself.

"Could it be that this technique can break through the limit of the Spirit Realm? Do you think that when I feel stagnant and desperate, I will also cultivate this technique?"

Apart from this reason, Wu Tiannan couldn't think of why Blood Spirit Child would think that he would cultivate such a Demon Dao technique.

He opened the booklet and looked at the small characters on the first page.

"What is this?"

The first page contained the words left by Blood Spirit Child.

"I don't know if the dean can come here, if he can find this box... but I think I should leave something behind."

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

"The Hundred Purgatory Blood Refining Technique is undoubtedly a powerful technique that can break through the limit of the Spirit Realm's Martial Dao and reach higher realms, but this path is paved with blood..."

The more Wu Tiannan read, the more shocked and solemn he became.

The rise and opportunity of Blood Spirit Child were so unimaginable.

From beyond the heavens and earth?

At this moment, he thought of the enchantress in the Ice Province's Heavenly Abyss.

Could it be that the former Blood Spirit Child had encountered a similar existence to the enchantress, which led to his rise?

The Hundred Purgatory Blood Refining Technique, refined with essence blood, can ignore the limit of the Spirit Realm's Martial Dao and continue to break through.

There was an even more important piece of information on it.

"I am no longer myself!"

What does this mean?

Was Blood Spirit Child possessed?

Wu Tiannan frowned, recalling the deeds of Blood Spirit Child back then. Although he was arrogant and unparalleled in killing, there were no signs of possession.

"Does cultivating the Hundred Purgatory Blood Refining Technique cause a great change in one's character?"

Wu Tiannan pondered.

Continuing to read, the message left by Blood Spirit Child was not much, only briefly mentioning his past opportunities, and also coincidentally entering this Heavenly Abyss Ruins.

More importantly, when he entered this Heavenly Abyss Ruins, it was not the time when the ruins were open, but at that time, there were some anomalies in the ruins.

A small black hole appeared, and Blood Spirit Child was sucked in by a force.

According to Blood Spirit Child's words, he encountered a strange remnant soul.

The blood-colored remnant soul turned into a bracelet and was worn on his hand. This was his opportunity for rise, and it was also from this remnant soul that he obtained the Hundred Purgatory Blood Refining Technique.

This remnant soul claimed to come from beyond the heavens and earth, surpassing the limits of the heavens and earth. Moreover, this strand of remnant soul was just a bit of power from beyond the heavens and earth entering this world.

The second defeat of Blood Spirit Child was also related to this remnant soul. Blood Spirit Child was a ruthless person, and in the end, he killed and refined this strand of remnant soul!

As for whether he obtained any information after refining the remnant soul, Blood Spirit Child did not mention much.

Wu Tianan looked at the blood-red bead and said,

"Blood Spirit Bead? What is its use?"

This bead is called the Blood Spirit Bead, but Blood Spirit Child did not mention its purpose.

"If your bones still exist, shall I bury the Blood Spirit Bead with you?"

Wu Tianan muttered to himself.

Whether the Blood Demon's remains still exist in the inner domain, only Xin Mengrou knows.

"Could it be that you can resurrect with this?"

Wu Tianan shook his head and smiled.

"You are no longer the person you used to be. Do you think I will fulfill your wish?"

Wu Tianan sighed.

The message left by Blood Spirit Child on it has some unusual aspects. Regardless of the ultimate purpose, Wu Tianan will not bury the Blood Spirit Bead with Blood Spirit Child.

He turned to the second page of the booklet.

"Above the Soul Refining Heavenly Being is the Condensing Law Realm, where the laws of heaven and earth are integrated into the body, known as the Condensing Law Heavenly Venerable; above the Condensing Law is the True King Realm, where the integration of the laws of heaven and earth becomes real, known as the True King Heavenly Venerable; above the True King is the Immortal Realm, where one merges with heaven and earth, becoming the ruler of a domain and sharing the same lifespan as heaven and earth, hence known as the Immortal Heavenly Venerable..."

The second page introduces the realms above the Soul Refining Heavenly Being, namely the Condensing Law Heavenly Venerable, the True King Heavenly Venerable, and the Immortal Heavenly Venerable. Wu Tianan has never heard of the True King Realm and the Immortal Realm.

However, he has already seen the Condensing Law Heavenly Venerable.

Although that Heavenly Venerable was killed by Mei Wu, there is no denying the immense power of the Heavenly Venerable.

"So, when the Heavenly Venerable mentioned inviting the True King to descend, it means inviting the True King Heavenly Venerable."

What kind of existence is the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, who shares the same lifespan as heaven and earth?

"But even if one is immortal, they have not transcended heaven and earth."

And the senior has transcended heaven and earth, so the Immortal Heavenly Venerable is nothing in front of the senior.

Wu Tianan continued reading, and the following were the cultivation techniques of the Hundred Purgatory Blood Refining Art. The more he read, the more terrified he became. It truly was a demonic cultivation technique, extremely cruel.

He only read one-third of it and did not continue.

Too cruel, too brutal.

"Refining the blood of the living beings in the Blood Refining Spirit Domain can achieve immortality!"

This was the message given by Blood Spirit Child. In the past, he refined the blood of countless martial artists and slaughtered numerous martial sects, refining one city after another.

"Blood Spirit Child should have already broken through to the True King Realm."

Based on speculation, with Blood Spirit Child refining so many martial artists and cities, he should have broken through the Condensing Law Realm and transcended the limits of the Martial Dao in the Spirit Domain.

Wu Tianan took a deep breath and put the booklet and the Blood Spirit Bead back into the box.

"Let the senior handle this box."

Wu Tianan sighed. It would be better to let the senior take care of this demonic cultivation technique.

With that in mind, Wu Tianan went to the Evergreen Pavilion.

"Senior, this is what I found, the legacy left by Blood Spirit Child. It contains demonic cultivation techniques. I hand it over to the senior for disposal."

He respectfully held up the box.

"Hmm."

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow. What's the matter with this Blood Spirit Child? He actually left something behind in this Heavenly Cavern Ruins?

With a wave of his hand, the box fell into his palm. Without opening it, he seemed indifferent and casually put it away.

Wu Tianan took his leave and went to find Xin Mengrou to inquire about the Blood Demon's calamity and how the Superlative Spirit Sect forced Blood Spirit Child into the inner domain.

In the Heavenly Cavern Ruins, only Li Xuan sat calmly in the Evergreen Pavilion, while the others were exploring this ruin with curiosity.

Xu Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He looked at a gray-black withered tree, lost in thought.

At this moment, he heard a faint voice, with a hint of temptation, as if calling him.

"Young one, being able to come to this place is also your opportunity. As long as you pass the assessment, you can obtain the immortal inheritance."

The voice came from the small tree.

"Immortal inheritance?"

Xu Yan was full of curiosity.

"Yes! Young one, you probably don't know what immortality is. Let me tell you, above the Condensation Method is the Refining Truth, and above the Refining Truth is immortality.

"Immortality is to merge with heaven and earth, to have a lifespan equal to that of heaven and earth... This is the Immortal Heavenly Venerable!"

The voice came faintly, and the temptation grew stronger.

If it were other geniuses from the Spirit Domain, they would probably be tempted, but for Xu Yan, these temptations were useless.

"Can one only have a lifespan equal to that of heaven and earth?"

Xu Yan asked in surprise.

The voice paused, what did this young man mean?

"To be immortal without the destruction of heaven and earth, that is the pinnacle of Martial Dao, young man..."

The voice of temptation continued.

"Even if one hasn't surpassed heaven and earth, it can still be considered the pinnacle of Martial Dao?"

Xu Yan expressed doubt!

The voice of temptation suddenly fell silent. This young man's appetite was a bit excessive!

"Heaven and earth cannot be surpassed. Young man, don't aim too high. To achieve immortality is already the pinnacle of Martial Dao..."

Xu Yan nodded and said, "You're right, one shouldn't aim too high. So, do you have any divine artifacts?"

The voice of temptation fell silent again.

This guy is too practical!

He asks for a divine artifact as soon as he opens his mouth?

"Why aren't you speaking? Could it be that you're deceiving people and don't actually have an inheritance?"

Xu Yan frowned.

"Young man, leave. Your comprehension is not good, you are not suitable for inheritance."

The voice of temptation spoke.

Xu Yan silently drew his sword, walked to the small tree, and swung his sword!

Crack!

The small tree broke, and a faint blood-colored light emerged from the trunk, forming a grimacing face.

However, this grimacing face left Xu Yan somewhat dumbfounded.

He draws his sword as soon as they exchange a few words?

"A remnant soul?"

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow and slashed with his hand.

The Xun Extinguishing Sword!

"Wait..."

The grimacing face's complexion changed drastically, and it hurriedly spoke.

But it was already too late!

With a single sword strike, with a "pu" sound, the face disintegrated, and the remnant soul completely dissipated under the Xun Wind Sword Intent.

"This is not the remnant soul of a Spirit Domain Martial Artist."

Xu Yan pondered, dug out the small tree, and saw a blood-red bead the size of a fingertip hanging from the root of the tree.

"What is this? It seems to enhance the power of flesh and blood."

Xu Yan collected the blood-red bead, inserted his long sword into the ground, and erupted with the Xun Wind Sword Intent.

Boom!

Centered around the small tree, a storm swept through, stirring up the Xun Wind Sword Intent within a radius of several hundred zhang.

Pu!

Ten zhang away, a burst of blood light emerged, forming a human face with a bewildered expression.

"Kid, you've gone too far, this seat..."

Pu!

Before finishing the sentence, it was completely annihilated by the Xun Wind Sword Intent storm.
