Heavenly Blood Alliance

Many of the prodigies exchanged glances, all feeling... unbelievable.

The glorious ancient era of martial arts civilization was cut short for unknown reasons, yet the Martial Arts Alliance managed to survive.

Since they have preserved so many traditions, why have they kept them sealed away and never made them public for so many years?

The geniuses present had bright eyes and their breathing became slightly rapid.

They intuitively felt there was something wrong with what the Masked Man said, but... the inheritance was right before their eyes, and they had already examined it; it should be the genuine article.

Even if, as the Masked Man claimed, they did not preserve the legacy of the ancient times, there is no doubt that the legacy possessed by the Martial Arts Alliance far surpasses that of any major power in the Tianyuan Realm.

Such profound heritage captivated them!

And they have already become members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, which means that they also have the opportunity to obtain these inheritances. Realizing this, they are naturally excited.

"Why did the ancient martial arts civilization perish? You possess so many inheritances, and over these millions of years, not a single bit has flowed out, allowing the human martial arts civilization to decline so drastically. Why is that?"

One of the geniuses couldn't help but ask.

The Masked Man sneered, "The ancient martial arts civilization naturally ended because of the calamity I mentioned. As for why these inheritances were not passed down, I have no need to explain!"

The Masked Man's voice carried a hint of coldness, and the questioner shrank back, not daring to ask any further questions.

Yi Yun smiled coldly.

The decline of the Tianyuan Realm is probably exactly what Blood Moon wanted to see. Otherwise, if another peerless Great Emperor like the Ancient Empress were to emerge, Blood Moon would face numerous difficulties in doing whatever it wanted, and the entire organization might even be wiped out!

Only when the Tianyuan Realm declines can the Blood Moon Realm, with its inherent resources, manipulate events at will within the Tianyuan Realm.

Ultimately, without the support of the Eye of Destruction, the Blood Moon is nothing more than a few minions.

How can we acquire these traditions?

One genius couldn't help but ask, "These things are sealed in an array, allowing them to see only a portion of the content. It's probably not so easy to give them to them."

The Masked Man, "Wild beasts need to hunt to obtain food, and so do you. These are the best foods laid out before you, but whether you can obtain them depends on your own abilities!"

"This..." The Golden Masked Man flipped his hand, revealing a blood-red jade stone in his palm. "This is Blood Jade, unique to our Martial Arts Alliance. Within the Martial Arts Alliance, Blood Jade can be used to exchange for these cultivation techniques, weapons, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

Blood Jade!

Many people's eyes, like knives, suddenly focused on that small piece of jade.

"Can it also be exchanged for Ancient Inheritance?" many people asked, their hearts pounding.

The Golden Masked Man chuckled, "The Ancient Inheritance is the core secret of the Martial Arts Alliance. Your joining the Heavenly Dao Alliance is simply our Martial Arts Alliance's way of contributing to the coming chaos. Don't you think wanting the Ancient Inheritance is too greedy?"

Hmm? Can't get it?

The hearts of the geniuses present sank slightly.

"However," the Golden Masked Man changed the subject, "There are ways to obtain Ancient Inheritance."

"There are no free lunches in this world. If you want to obtain these core secrets of the Martial Arts Alliance, you have to pay the price!"

"The Martial Arts Alliance is divided into two parts: the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Heavenly Blood Alliance. The Heavenly Blood Alliance is the true core! You need to become members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance, sign Soul Contract, and be absolutely loyal to the Martial Arts Alliance. Only in this way can you be considered the true heirs of the Martial Arts Alliance."

Yi Yun narrowed his eyes. The Heavenly Blood Alliance... isn't this the Blood Moon Alliance? They even require Soul Contract...

Once the Soul Contract of the Martial Arts Alliance is established, it will probably be difficult to break free from it for the rest of one's life.

They used Ancient Inheritance as bait to lure these geniuses.

What these people didn't know was that the end of the ancient martial arts civilization and the fall of these Ancient Inheritance into the hands of Blood Moon were all orchestrated by Blood Moon.

Seeing the hesitation on the faces of these geniuses, the Masked Man added, "Don't worry, becoming a member of the Heavenly Blood Alliance doesn't require you to leave your current sects or Lineage."

"You can still serve your respective factions, but you must be loyal to the Martial Arts Alliance for life and must not betray them. You must carry out missions for the Martial Arts Alliance, but rest assured, the Martial Arts Alliance will never send you on missions that will result in certain death. This will also be written into the contract."

Upon hearing the Masked Man's words, the assembled prodigies became restless.

To Ancient Inheritance, one must not only exchange for Blood Jade, but also join the Heavenly Blood Alliance!

Although I haven't read the contents of the contract, even a fool could figure out that the restrictions imposed on the Heavenly Blood Alliance are far more numerous than those imposed on the Heavenly Dao Alliance!

Joining the Heavenly Blood Alliance will result in the loss of much freedom.

For martial artists, Soul Contract is something that should never be signed lightly. They are extremely cautious whenever Soul Contract is involved!

At this point, everyone understood.

The claim that joining the Heavenly Dao Alliance requires no Soul Contract and no obligations is a lie.

Because Martial Arts Alliance truly values is actually the Heavenly Blood Alliance!

The Heavenly Dao Alliance is merely a preparatory camp; the Heavenly Blood Alliance is the true objective!

To put it bluntly, the establishment of the Heavenly Dao Alliance was a trap from the very beginning.

However, the Martial Arts Alliance did not force anyone; it merely offered bait, leaving the decision of whether or not to join the Heavenly Blood Alliance entirely voluntary.

Everyone has the right to choose: absolute freedom or endless resources.

Especially those... Ancient Inheritance!!

Faced with the Ancient Inheritance, many geniuses wavered.

They don't want to form Soul Contract, but they still want to pass on their knowledge... If they can really learn a few Ancient Inheritance, it's not impossible for them to become Emperor or ancestors.

In this way, their lifespan can be extended many times over, making them prominent figures in the Tianyuan Realm!

Conversely, although they are arrogant, they are also self-aware, knowing that with their talent, most of them will only reach the peak of the Kaiyuan Realm.

A martial artist's training progresses very quickly before the age of one hundred.

However, after the age of one hundred, their life potential gradually diminishes, and coupled with various bottlenecks, they may become stuck at a certain level and stagnate.

Especially the gap between the peak of the Kaiyuan Realm and the Emperor is a formidable barrier that many people find difficult to overcome!

Many people are struggling with this decision.

How should I choose?

Freedom is precious, but sometimes, strength is even more alluring!

At this point, some people had already expressed a desire to see the contents of the Soul Contract, proving that they were interested.

In any case, first look at the contract details; if it's not acceptable, give up.

With a wave of his hand, the Masked Man conjured a blood-red contract that appeared out of thin air in front of the prodigy who had just spoken.

Several people nearby immediately gathered around to watch.

They were all experiencing intense inner struggles.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; if you want something, you have to pay a price.

Seeing this scene, Yi Yun simply watched coldly from the sidelines.

Soul Contract...

The Blood Moon did not want to see the human race become powerful, so it sealed away the ancient heritage to prevent it from flowing out. Even now that the Blood Moon is going to implement their plan and finally bring out the heritage, it will only be allowed to be cultivated by those who have signed Soul Contract.

Moreover, Yi Yun suspected that the Soul Contract had been tampered with!

An ancient power, one with deep-seated hostility towards the Tianyuan Realm, wouldn't trust anyone. Could they possibly expect their contracts to be fair and just?

Besides, given Blood Moon's abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to tamper with the contract without these prodigies noticing!

Yi Yun thought to himself, shaking his head inwardly.

He had long anticipated that the Blood Moon Organization's Heavenly Dao Alliance's goals were not so simple, and what was being revealed now was probably only part of it.

Yi Yun casually flipped through the cultivation techniques and Secret Manual in the treasure pavilion.

Some of these Secret Manual specify the Blood Jade required for the exchange.

Many ancient Secret Manual can only be exchanged by members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance.

There are also some Secret Manual that, although not restricted, are much cheaper for the Heavenly Blood Alliance members to exchange for, often several times to more than ten times the price!

In such an environment, it would be difficult for geniuses who do not join the Heavenly Blood Alliance to survive.

The inheritance within the Treasure Pavilion far surpasses the current inheritance in the Tianyuan Realm.

Some are Ancient Inheritance, while others may originate from the Twelve Emperor Heavens.

However, it is completely incomparable to the collection of Lord Qingyang back then.

Lord Qingyang was a powerful and influential figure in the Heavenly Yang God Emperor Heaven, far superior to these demonic minions.

Therefore, Yi Yun was not interested in these inheritances at all.

In particular, the <Empress Heart Sutra> cultivated by Yi Yun is derived from the supreme Dao of the Twelve Emperor Heavens.

However, while Yi Yun remained unmoved, these prodigies couldn't help but be tempted, especially since they discovered that this Soul Contract wasn't as bad as they had initially thought...

Some people in the crowd were already itching to step forward, but they hadn't yet made up their minds to do so.

Many people are waiting to see how others choose. (To be continued~^~)
