Deducing Blood Fiend Art, Stepping Into Divine Aperture Realm!

"No!"

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Chen Fan, you are the most talented martial artist I've ever seen, far surpassing the so-called geniuses and prodigies of Dragon Abyss Prefecture. You absolutely cannot ruin your future!" Lu Xuening immediately spoke up upon hearing this.

She had been hoping Chen Fan would become her master's disciple. With Chen Fan's talent and her master's guidance, Chen Fan would surely become famous throughout Dragon Abyss Prefecture, or even all of Cloud Province.

However, if Chen Fan were to cultivate the Blood Fiend Art and break through to the Divine Aperture Realm, the Blood Fiend would enter his body like a persistent parasite, destroying his martial path.

From then on, he would only have two paths: cultivate the Blood Fiend Art to its extreme, opening thirty-six acupoints, and thus end his martial path.

Or, like the once brilliant Blood Demon, push the Blood Fiend Art to a higher level, then have the Blood Fiend within his body erupt completely, turning him into another Blood Demon!

As for switching to other Divine Aperture Realm techniques, it was almost impossible. Unless it was an extraordinary technique that could suppress the Blood Fiend and reverse the primary and secondary roles.

But such techniques were nowhere to be found, let alone in Dragon Abyss Prefecture, even all of Cloud Province had few. Not only was Chen Fan unqualified to obtain them, but even his master wasn't qualified to borrow them.

Furthermore, cultivating other Divine Aperture Realm techniques concurrently was far too dangerous. Different true qi clashing within the body could at best sever one's martial path, and at worst, cause them to explode and die.

Therefore, once Chen Fan cultivated the Blood Fiend Art and stepped into the Divine Aperture Realm, he would be completely ruined, even more so than she would be.

Yet, she would rather be ruined herself than have Chen Fan ruin his future, because she believed Chen Fan was more talented than her and had greater potential to be cultivated!

"My mind is made up, no need to say more!"

Chen Fan gave Lu Xuening a deep look, then leaped up, landing back on the roof of the county office. He then began to deduce the Divine Aperture Realm technique, the Blood Fiend Art!

[Year 1: You opened the beast skin scroll containing the Divine Aperture Realm technique, the Blood Fiend Art. It felt both familiar and strange. Familiar because you recognized the characters, but strange because when they were put together, you had no idea what they meant. Blood Fiend Art: Not yet initiated!]

Chen Fan's forehead creased as he looked at the prompt on his Attribute Panel. What was all this nonsense!

His aptitude and comprehension were truly disheartening.

[Year 3: You finally managed to barely understand the content recorded in the Blood Fiend Art and learned that the prerequisite for cultivating the Blood Fiend Art is to find an extremely Yin location and refine a wisp of Taiyin Power into your body. Blood Fiend Art: Initiated!]

[Year 5: As you haven't found an extremely Yin location, the Blood Fiend Art has made no progress. You haven't opened a single acupoint. Your current state can be considered half-step Divine Aperture Realm, or perhaps the weakest Divine Aperture Realm in history!]

Chen Fan suddenly stopped cultivating and sighed. He knew that to continue deducing the Blood Fiend Art, he needed to find an extremely Yin location, refine Taiyin Power into his body, communicate with the world's vital energy, refine the Essence Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits, and open the Blood Fiend Divine Aperture!

"How did Cao De initiate it back then?"

"Where did he find the extremely Yin location?"

"Got it!"

"Cao De's mansion must be an extremely Yin location. He always stayed at home. Besides a butler and a few servants, there was no one else."

"He was clearly involved with the County Magistrate's favorite concubine, yet he never brought any women home. Even his butler and servants were all male."

"That's because his mansion is an extremely Yin location. Women are Yin. Staying in such a place for a long time would inevitably lead to illness and a short lifespan."

"So, to avoid suspicion, he established a persona of a martial arts maniac who abstains from women."

Once Chen Fan figured this out, he immediately headed towards Cao De's mansion under the astonished gazes of Lu Xuening and Huang Chengyue.

"Did that kid change his mind again?" Huang Chengyue asked with some confusion.

Originally, Chen Fan had been so resolute that both he and Lu Xuening wanted to guard him, preventing others from disturbing his breakthrough to the Divine Aperture Realm. But after such a short time, he had jumped down from the county office roof and run off.

"He must have initiated the Blood Fiend Art and is looking for an extremely Yin location to break through. In just this short while, he's already initiated a Divine Aperture Realm technique. He's truly monstrous!" Lu Xuening gazed at Chen Fan's departing figure, unable to help but sigh.

Chen Fan: Thank you very much, it took me five years to figure this out.

Now that Cao De's mansion had been sealed off, Chen Fan directly climbed over the wall and entered. The moment he stepped into the mansion, he felt a cold, Yin wind blow towards him. With his extraordinary senses, he finally found the core of the extremely Yin location.

It was a study, with a meditation cushion placed inside. It was evident that Cao De often meditated and cultivated here. Chen Fan plopped down onto the cushion and began to deduce again:

[Year 10: You found an extremely Yin location and began to circulate the Blood Fiend Art. You successfully captured the Taiyin Power wandering between heaven and earth, then drew it into your body. As you possess the Innate Physique, you effortlessly established a connection with the world's vital energy and successfully absorbed qi into your body!]

[Year 30: As the Blood Fiend Art requires the Essence Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits, the purer and higher the grade, the more potent and effective a single type of essence blood is, with fewer side effects. However, you are currently confined to Ping An County and cannot obtain the Essence Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits, thus the Blood Fiend Art progresses slowly.]

[Year 50: The Blood Fiend Art progresses slowly. Through years of diligent effort, you have finally opened your first acupoint. Your speed in communicating with the world's vital energy has increased. Through the acupoint, it travels through the meridians, and a wisp of Bloodfiend True Qi is absorbed into your body.]

[Year 100: You gradually realized the importance of the Essence Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits for the Blood Fiend Art. You began to ponder how to obtain high-quality essence blood. Finally, looking at your physique, comparable to that of a fierce beast cub, your eyes lit up. You realized that others' essence blood, no matter how good, was not as compatible with yourself as your own. You began to extract essence blood from your own body to cultivate the Blood Fiend Art. It was as if you had opened a new door to the world. You quickly opened twelve acupoints. Blood Fiend Art: Minor Accomplishment!]

[Year 300: As the Blood Fiend Art continued to improve, it required more and more essence blood. Although your blood was like mercury, your qi and blood like smoke, and your vitality like the sea, you couldn't sustain such depletion. You could only recover qi and blood while simultaneously extracting essence blood to cultivate the Blood Fiend Art. You pioneered a completely new approach to cultivating the Blood Fiend Art. Three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, and you finally opened twenty acupoints. Blood Fiend Art: Major Accomplishment!]

[Year 500: You continued to cultivate the Blood Fiend Art as always. Your complexion grew paler and your body weaker, but your strength continued to increase. Acupoint after acupoint was opened. You felt the world's vital energy being drawn into your body through your acupoints, transforming into Bloodfiend True Qi. Finally, the Bloodfiend True Qi gathered in your dantian, dyeing the entire dantian a bloody hue. You understood that the Bloodfiend Power was eroding your dantian, but you had no choice!]

[Year 800: You were gaunt, appearing on the verge of death, but your eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the Bloodfiend True Qi within your body became more and more terrifying. Finally, one day, you opened all thirty-six acupoints in your body, cultivating the Blood Fiend Art to the realm of Perfection!]

[Blood Fiend Art: Perfection!]

Chen Fan suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of crimson light streaking through them. The Bloodfiend True Qi within his body surged outwards like a relentless river, directly blowing off the roof of Cao De's study. The entire study collapsed completely!
