Chapter Thirty-Five: Prison Suppressing Divine Physique (Part 1)

Blood Surge, the final layer of the Palace Knocking Realm, and the third layer overall. Blood Surge, as its name suggests, is when one's blood energy surges like a mighty river. This layer is considered perfected once the first drop of Life Blood is refined.

Among cultivators, there's a common saying: "The body strengthens the blood, the blood nourishes longevity, longevity contains fate, and fate forges the body." Fate governs longevity, longevity evolves blood, blood strengthens the body, and the body protects fate.

Physique, Life Wheel, and Fate Palace are mutually reinforcing, interdependent, and none can be lacking.

A powerful physique can invigorate blood energy. Abundant blood energy can extend one's lifespan. The longer the lifespan, the stronger one's fate. A strong fate can forge an even more powerful physique.

Simultaneously, the Fate Palace governs the Life Wheel, and the Life Wheel evolves Life Blood. Strong Life Blood strengthens the physique, and a strong physique can protect the Fate Palace!

Whether it be the Fate Palace, the Life Wheel, or even the physique, the common thread connecting them all is blood energy. However, as one's cultivation grows stronger, ordinary blood energy can no longer support a powerful physique, Life Wheel, or Fate Palace. Thus, blood energy must be refined into Life Blood.

Life Blood is incredibly precious to any cultivator. Each cultivator's Life Blood is forged through countless refinements. It is not only the essence of blood energy but also contains the profound mysteries of the Great Dao!

There's a saying among cultivators: "Ten thousand bloods for one Life Blood, one Life Blood for ten thousand lives." Everyone interprets this saying differently.

However, most people understand it this way: one drop of Life Blood is condensed from ten thousand drops of blood energy. And one drop of Immortal Emperor Life Blood can allow a mortal to live for ten thousand years!

Although no one has ever tested whether one drop of Immortal Emperor Life Blood can truly grant a mortal ten thousand years of life, it is enough to illustrate the immense value of Immortal Emperor Life Blood.

For many cultivators, reaching the Blood Surge layer is not easy. Ordinary cultivators might achieve it in three to five months.

For the Blood Surge layer, one refines blood using Life Methods. Li Qiye is no different.

Light emerged from the back of Li Qiye's head, with rounds of luminous Life Wheels circulating ceaselessly. As his blood energy circulated, a vortex began to form within his Life Wheel. Once the vortex formed, his blood energy became powerful and vigorous, like an erupting geyser.

Li Qiye's physique and Life Wheel were both of the mortal grade, and his blood energy was not particularly strong. However, at this moment, the vigor of Li Qiye's blood energy was likely comparable to those with innate physiques and innate Life Wheels.

His blood energy surged like a river, completing its first circulation of the heavenly cycle in the blink of an eye. Afterward, the blood energy flowed as if it were a natural progression, surging within the heavenly cycle, spinning faster and faster, flowing more urgently, causing the blood energy to transform into a massive vortex throughout Li Qiye's body! At this moment, it was as if a blood-red moon was rising and falling within Li Qiye.

This is the marvel of the "Moon Vortex Sun," and this is also its terrifying aspect; it can compress blood energy into an incredibly potent stream.

Of course, the marvels of the "Moon Vortex Sun" extend far beyond this. As the "Moon Vortex Sun" drove the surging blood energy, the True Fate within the Fate Palace responded.

In that instant, Li Qiye's True Fate seemed to awaken completely. The True Fate greedily inhaled the swirling blood energy, propelled by the "Moon Vortex Sun."

The True Fate's speed in absorbing and expelling blood energy was extremely fast, like a colossal whale. In the blink of an eye, the True Fate radiated dazzling light, and the foundational runes of the "Kun Peng Six Transformations" became active.

The True Fate absorbed the blood energy and then expelled it like a giant whale. During this process, the foundation of the "Kun Peng Six Transformations" acted like a massive grinding mill, refining the blood energy expelled by the True Fate, as if to grind the blood energy finer and smoother!

After being refined by the foundation, the blood energy became more refined, denser, and more crystalline. Then, the refined blood energy flowed back into the Life Wheel.

The True Fate, by absorbing and expelling blood energy, became even more powerful. As for the foundation of the "Kun Peng Six Transformations," it also grew stronger. The foundational runes appeared solid, and the profound runes transformed into small Kun Peng, soaring around the True Fate, as if they were living, breathing Kun Peng!

This entire process was so natural, so seamless, everything operating as it should.

The Moon Vortex Sun is a fearsome Life Method and a very miraculous cultivation technique, turning blood energy into a powerful engine that drives the refinement of the foundational structure within the Fate Palace.

For millions of years, countless people in the Washing Yan Ancient Sect have tried to cultivate the "Moon Vortex Sun," but unfortunately, it has always had flaws and was imperfect.

Li Qiye also spent countless years and immense effort to repair this cultivation technique. If it were solely up to him, he would not have been able to fix the flaws of the "Moon Vortex Sun." This technique contains the efforts of countless human sages, including Immortal Emperors like Immortal Emperor Mingren, Tunri Immortal Emperor, and the Black Dragon King...

When Li Qiye's blood energy had circulated for a day and a night, on that day, Li Qiye felt a "ding" sound, as if something heavy had settled into his Life Wheel. In that instant, his entire body felt refreshed and comfortable. Faintly, Li Qiye's body exuded a gentle radiance, and the Life Wheel behind his head materialized, its blood-red light becoming even brighter.

Li Qiye quickly looked inward. At this moment, he discovered a drop of Life Blood had appeared in his Life Wheel. The Life Blood was crystalline, as red as flame, and incredibly beautiful, as if it were a masterpiece of heaven.

One drop of Life Blood. Without a doubt, Li Qiye had broken through the Blood Surge layer and entered the Territory Expansion Realm.

The cultivation realms, from lowest to highest: Palace Knocking, Territory Expansion, Essence Infusion, Palace Opening, Longevity Strengthening, True Fate, Canopy, Nirvana Bath, Heavenly Origin, Divine Nurturing...

Awakening the True Fate took three months, yet condensing Life Blood took only one night. Such a feat would be unbelievable if told to others, but this is the terrifying power of the "Moon Vortex Sun."

A genius might awaken their True Fate within a day, but for the first drop of Life Blood, even a genius would take at least ten days. Yet, Li Qiye condensed Life Blood in one day and one night. This is simply astonishing.

This is precisely due to the marvel of the "Moon Vortex Sun." For millions of years, many geniuses in the Washing Yan Ancient Sect have cultivated it, but unfortunately, they ultimately ruined themselves.

The next day, Nan Huairen saw Li Qiye and couldn't help but exclaim, "Senior Brother, you, you, you've reached the Territory Expansion Realm?"

"I just entered the Territory Expansion Realm last night," Li Qiye stated the fact in the most ordinary tone, without any pride.

If it were anyone else, they would be incredibly proud. Condensing Life Blood in one day and one night would undoubtedly mark them as a heaven-defying genius. Of course, Li Qiye knew this was the merit of the "Moon Vortex Sun" and had nothing to be proud of.

Hearing Li Qiye's words, Nan Huairen was somewhat stunned. "Senior Brother, I, I remember your True Fate hadn't awakened a few days ago."

"It awakened two days ago," Li Qiye replied calmly.

"You, your True Fate took three months to awaken, and you only took one day and one night to refine and condense the first drop of Life Blood?" Nan Huairen was dumbfounded after learning the details, stammering his words.

Li Qiye merely smiled at Nan Huairen's words. After Nan Huairen recovered his senses, he couldn't help but marvel, "The Moon Vortex Sun is indeed the foremost miraculous technique. No wonder countless geniuses in our Washing Yan Ancient Sect have pursued it relentlessly."

Speaking of this, Nan Huairen couldn't help but lament, "Unfortunately, the flaws of the Moon Vortex Sun are also fatal." For millions of years, countless geniuses in the Washing Yan Ancient Sect have tried to repair the flaws of the "Moon Vortex Sun," but none have ever succeeded.

The "Moon Vortex Sun" can be considered a miracle. The person who created this technique is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable geniuses in all of history. Of course, its flaws are not easily repaired. If not for Li Qiye transforming into the Shadow Crow and achieving immortality, existing from the desolate era until now.

If not for Li Qiye's persistent efforts to repair this technique, and later, his invitation to invincible Immortal Emperors like Immortal Emperor Mingren, Tunri Immortal Emperor, and the Black Dragon King to participate in the repair, it would have been impossible to fix this technique!

Ultimately, Nan Huairen had to face a question and asked softly, "Senior Brother, what realm do you plan to reach before switching to another Life Method?"

Nan Huairen understood that the "Moon Vortex Sun" could not be cultivated to the very end, as its flaws were irreparable.

Although, for cultivators, whether it be a Life Method or a Fate Art, as long as it's a foundational technique, it's best to cultivate only one Fate Art and one Life Method from beginning to end if they wish to go further.

While it's possible to switch Life Methods or Fate Arts mid-way, doing so would leave significant hidden dangers on one's path of the Great Dao. If such hidden dangers were to surface when the time of longevity decline or fate calamity arrives, they could be fatal.

However, for many cultivators, this is an unavoidable choice, as few can access the best techniques from the start; this process requires accumulation.

If a cultivator only cultivates one foundational Life Method and Fate Art throughout their life, and if it's a powerful Imperial Technique or ancient secret, then it's fine. But if it's a low-level technique, then their fortune for this lifetime would be limited.

Of course, there are also those who cultivate a low-level cultivation method to its limit, pushing it to sublimation, and finally deriving its ultimate profound mysteries. Such people will eventually become legends who traverse the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!

It was obvious that Li Qiye was cultivating "Moon Vortex Sun **". In Nan Huairen's eyes, he would have to change his life's cultivation method in the future, otherwise, he would eventually be destroyed by "Moon Vortex Sun **".

Therefore, speaking of this, Nan Huairen reminded Li Qiye, saying, "Senior Brother, the sooner you change 'Moon Vortex Sun **', the better. Otherwise, once you reach the later realms and get trapped in it, it will be difficult to change, and you will never be able to break free from its control over your blood energy."
