Reincarnators
All of the Masked Man's expressions are hidden beneath the mask; outwardly, his empty mask appears perpetually cold and ruthless.
For the geniuses present, the Masked Man was incredibly intimidating; even his praise sent shivers down their spines.
"Two thousand Blood Jade, this is your reward! I admire talented young people."
As the Masked Man spoke, one of his followers presented him with a jade box.
Upon opening it, twenty-nine strings of Blood Jade were neatly arranged inside. The remaining nine hundred Blood Jade were the reward for defeating Gongsun Hong.
With 2,900 Blood Jade in one go, Yi Yun's wealth exceeded that of all the other newcomers combined.
Many geniuses were envious, as these Blood Jade could be exchanged for a large number of Ancient Inheritance and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
"From today onwards, each of you will receive a corresponding Blood Jade stipend each month. Initially, it will be ten per person per month, and if you join the Heavenly Blood Alliance, it will be fifty per person per month."
"Within the Heavenly Dao Alliance, there are various trials. Passing the trials will reward you with corresponding Blood Jade and increase your salary. For the same trial level, the Heavenly Blood Alliance's rewards will be five times that of the Heavenly Dao Alliance!"
"Your salaries can accumulate continuously. If you become a core member of the Heavenly Blood Alliance, a monthly reward of a thousand Blood Jade is not uncommon. However... if you lose to a newcomer in a competition, such as Gongsun Hong just now, then... the reward given to the newcomer will be deducted from your salaries by double!"
The Masked Man spoke these words coldly, then gave Yi Yun a deep look, chuckled twice, and turned to leave.
Double the reward?
Many people were secretly astonished. Yi Yun defeated Gongsun Hong and, not counting the cost of the challenge qualification, won 1,000 Blood Jade.
Wouldn't Gongsun Hong have two thousand Blood Jade deducted from his account?
It's likely that Gongsun Hong's salary wouldn't be much higher, so this loss is quite significant.
Yi Yun weighed the Blood Jade in his hand. He didn't care for cultivation techniques or Secret Manual, but... some of the rare and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Martial Arts Alliance were quite good, so he might as well use them.
However, Yi Yun also knew that it wasn't so easy to take advantage of the Martial Arts Alliance.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this a den of dragons and tigers.
The Masked Man left, but Gongsun Hong remained.
He was filled with humiliation and heartache!
That's two thousand Blood Jade!
Gongsun Hong felt his heart bleed just thinking about it. He now understood that Yi Yun had treated him like an idiot before.
He was no match for Yi Yun at all; even if he went all out from the beginning, he probably wouldn't be able to win.
"Hey kid, what's your name?"
Gongsun Hong gritted his teeth and asked Yi Yun.
Yi Yun glanced at Gongsun Hong and said, "I don't use a name, but I do have a nickname— Jiang Yi Dao!"
Jiang Yi Dao?
Gongsun Hong's brow twitched. He had been in seclusion at the Heavenly Dao Alliance for the past few years and had no idea that such a person existed.
However, Gongsun Hong was unaware that the newly joined geniuses of the Heavenly Dao Alliance were very familiar with the name Jiang Yi Dao.
This is a name that has been making headlines in recent months.
Rumors about Jiang Yi Dao's strength were widespread, but many of the geniuses present, having only heard the rumors, were still somewhat unconvinced.
Now that he has witnessed Yi Yun's strength firsthand, he is somewhat convinced.
"Is he Jiang Yi Dao?"
"He really only made one strike..."
People exchanged glances, all secretly astonished.
Although Gongsun Hong did not know Jiang Yi Dao's name, he could tell from the discussions that Jiang Yi Dao was not an unknown figure.
"Jiang Yi Dao, your name sounds arrogant, but you think you're so great just because you beat me? There are beings in the Heavenly Blood Alliance far beyond your imagination. I'm nothing in the Heavenly Blood Alliance. Compared to them, you're nothing. You'll soon be taught a lesson."
Gongsun Hong said sarcastically.
However, the other prodigies present did not quite agree with Gongsun Hong's mockery.
Is there anyone in the Heavenly Blood Alliance who can easily defeat Jiang Yi Dao?
It should be noted that Gongsun Hong was already famous in the Tianyuan Realm before joining the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
He wouldn't call himself the absolute top genius, but he's definitely in the first tier.
Of course, there are even more extraordinary talents than Gongsun Hong, but the difference between them wouldn't be as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.
Many people believe that Jiang Yi Dao's talent has reached its peak, and it's hard to believe that anyone could be more monstrous than Jiang Yi Dao.
Besides, most prodigies achieve fame at a young age; for example, everyone has heard of Gongsun Hong.
It's normal for a few hidden geniuses to occasionally emerge, unknown to anyone before.
However, it would be illogical for such rare geniuses to appear in large numbers.
Judging from Gongsun Hong's words, there are now many experts in the Heavenly Blood Alliance, including a large number of geniuses who far surpass Gongsun Hong. How is that possible?
They couldn't have just appeared out of thin air, so where did they come from?
Could it be that the Martial Arts Alliance secretly established a secret realm to cultivate them?
People found it strange, and most didn't believe it, thinking it was just Gongsun Hong making empty promises to save face.
Gongsun Hong also saw through everyone's thoughts.
He sneered, "Ants can only ever see a tiny path in front of them. How could you possibly know the vastness of the world? In the Heavenly Blood Alliance, there is a group of Reincarnator, among whom the nine strongest are far beyond your imagination. To them, you are nothing at all!"
When Gongsun Hong uttered those words, everyone was taken aback.
Reincarnator?
Can martial artists be reincarnated and given a second chance at life?
Starting from scratch and still retaining memories from his previous life—that's just too incredible; it seems impossible to even imagine.
Seeing the astonishment on everyone's faces, Gongsun Hong said with an arrogant expression, "It is a reincarnation! The supreme technique treasured by the Heavenly Blood Alliance is also the number one divine skill—the <Great Dao Samsara Technique>!"
"Unfortunately, with your qualifications, you can only look at the introduction; you are not qualified to redeem it at all!"
Gongsun Hong's voice carried a strong sense of superiority, but it looked somewhat comical when combined with his tattered clothes.
"The Great Dao Samsara Technique?"
Yi Yun raised an eyebrow. Such a method was also briefly mentioned in Lord Qingyang's collection.
Gongsun Hong's words piqued the interest of many; such a technique sounded terrifyingly powerful. If it truly allowed for reincarnation while retaining memories, wouldn't that be defying the heavens?
Even if I can't learn it, it's good to see it for myself.
Moreover, just because they are not qualified now doesn't mean they won't be qualified in the future.
Many people's eyes lit up, unable to resist searching for the <Great Dao Samsara Technique> in this treasure trove.
Gongsun Hong smiled dismissively, turned around, and left the treasure pavilion.
Before leaving, he glanced at Yi Yun, his eyes filled with a chill.
Yi Yun didn't care about this hatred at all. In fact, with Jiang Yi Dao's identity, offending people was nothing. But with Yi Yun's original identity, he truly had enemies all over the world.
After Gongsun Hong left, the geniuses present browsed the various treasures in the treasure pavilion, and soon, someone actually found the <Great Dao Samsara Technique>.
"Here!"
The person who found this Secret Manual couldn't help but speak up.
People immediately went to the sound.
The "Great Dao Samsara Technique" was placed on the third and highest floor of the treasure pavilion.
Its location is also very conspicuous, situated in the very center of the third floor, which is why people can find it quickly.
Driven by curiosity, Yi Yun also went up to the third level to see the true form of this secret technique.
This entire set of secret techniques was sealed inside a dark gold metal box, which was then locked within an array.
Most of the cultivation techniques in the Treasure Pavilion allow you to preview the first page, but this particular technique cannot be previewed at all.
Aside from the box, only a few words of introduction can be seen.
Yi Yun saw that only core members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance were qualified to exchange for this secret technique, and the price for it was astronomical.
One hundred thousand Blood Jade can only be exchanged for the first volume; subsequent volumes become increasingly expensive.
Moreover, having enough Blood Jade is not enough; one must also make contributions to the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
Seeing these stringent exchange conditions, many people secretly shook their heads.
This is outrageous.
Simply by joining the Heavenly Blood Alliance, they gritted their teeth and signed the Soul Contract.
However, having hundreds of thousands of Blood Jade and making contributions to the Heavenly Dao Alliance is something that not everyone can achieve.
Basically, this set of secret techniques is just a mirage, something you can only admire from afar.
"There's such a supreme method? I really want to see it, even just one page."
A beautiful young woman couldn't help but say.
Reincarnation sounds incredibly tempting; it's not just about accumulating strength again, but also about being reborn.
For women who love beauty, what girl wouldn't be tempted to return to her youthful days after growing old?
However, Yi Yun secretly shook his head.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. If such a heaven-defying technique truly existed, why would Lord Qingyang only mention it briefly? He would have described it in detail long ago, and his description would clearly demonstrate his high regard for it.
In fact, according to Lord Qingyang, such reincarnation techniques often have many limitations.
For example, the mystery of the womb.
When reincarnated, a large number of memories are lost. After reincarnation, a part of the personality is missing. Although it is not to say that you are a completely different person, you are not entirely the same person as before.
Besides, learning reincarnation techniques will not extend one's lifespan; in fact, it may even shorten it.
Each reincarnation shortens one's lifespan; the more reincarnations one has, the faster one dies.
In essence, the reincarnation technique is simply overdrawing one's life potential.
Before a martial artist reaches the age of one hundred, their life potential is immense, allowing them to cultivate at the fastest pace. The benefit of the reincarnation technique is that it maximizes this life potential, enabling martial artists who could only reach the Dao Seed Realm to break through to the Kaiyuan Realm, and those who were originally at the limit of the Kaiyuan Realm to be crowned Emperor.
This is also why some people choose the reincarnation technique. Those who practice the reincarnation technique carry a lot of memories from their youth, which does indeed make them somewhat invincible.
"The Martial Arts Alliance possesses such a reincarnation technique. If all the martial artists they cultivate choose to reincarnate in this era, then it explains why this group was previously unknown."
Yi Yun took a deep breath. The fact that the Reincarnator had chosen the present era undoubtedly meant that the scheme that the Martial Arts Alliance had been laying out for many years was beginning to come to an end.
