The Secret of the Blood Moon

Yin Sha's memories allowed Yi Yun to understand the Blood Moon clearly.

Yi Yun had originally imagined Blood Moon to be a hidden, massive organization, but Yi Yun found it hard to believe that such a large organization could be so well concealed, completely unknown to people.

Now, Yi Yun understood.

First of all, the blood moon was not as large as Yi Yun had originally imagined.

The Blood Moon's true leadership consists of only ten people. These ten individuals possess extraordinary strength and are considered the Blood Moon's decision-makers and most formidable fighting force.

Of the ten people, six usually control the Martial Arts Alliance. Among these six are the current Alliance Leader of the Martial Arts Alliance and three Supreme Elders.

Over the tens of millions of years, the Martial Arts Alliance has sometimes been powerful, sometimes weak, and has changed its name several times. In fact, for fifteen million years, the Martial Arts Alliance disappeared from the world intermittently.

The Martial Arts Alliance, contrary to their claims, has not actually existed for tens of millions of years.

In fact, it is not easy for a lineage to exist for tens of millions of years. Many lineages and families often exist for hundreds of thousands of years before suddenly being cut off or destroyed due to some accident. Especially in the Tianyuan Realm where there are frequent struggles, those that can be passed down for millions of years are already remarkable ancient Lineage.

However, the Blood Moon can be passed down very smoothly. The Blood Moon can do all this because of the Yin Sha and the Reincarnation Technique!

Yin Sha abandons its physical body and possesses a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary martial artists. Especially when Yin Sha is dormant underground, the flow of life almost stops. A Yin Sha with profound cultivation can even sleep for hundreds of millions of years without perishing.

The majority of Blood Moon members, those who actually walk the earth, are very few.

Even for a period of fifteen million years, no Blood Moon members walked the earth.

More than 90% of the Blood Moon members are Yin Sha, who slumber in an extremely Yin and cold place, where they have never seen the light of day for millions of years. They rely on the Sha Qi in the Yin and cold place to nourish their Divine Soul and thus live forever.

As long as Yin Sha exists, a portion of Yin Sha will awaken periodically, thus ensuring the unbroken lineage of the Blood Moon.

Although Yin Sha have such a long lifespan, they also have a huge flaw.

That is, they are only souls, and they must rely on Body Snatching to live in the world.

Yin Sha beings, being pure soul entities, cannot use techniques or invoke laws; they can only gain combat power after Body Snatching a physical body.

The strength of Body Snatching being depends on both the possessed being and the Body Snatching being's talent.

The more talented the Body Snatching person is, the higher the compatibility between their physical body and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, the greater the power that Yin Sha can draw upon, and the stronger the power of the laws they can unleash.

As for the strength of the Body Snatching individuals themselves, and their understanding of the laws, Yin Sha is useless; no matter how high their level, it's pointless.

Because Yin Sha is extremely Yin and cold, filled with death energy, it will quickly deplete the body's own vital energy after Body Snatching it. Therefore, Yin Sha basically only Body Snatching young people, so that their bodies can be used for a longer period of time.

After successfully Body Snatching, Yin Sha are basically unable to cultivate. Their strength is fixed after the Body Snatching and will not increase further.

Only when they are dormant as Yin Sha bodies can they rely on absorbing the Yin and evil power of heaven and earth to very slowly increase their strength.

This is the biggest weakness of the Yin Sha: they are not strong enough.

Yin Sha's strength alone is insufficient to support a powerful organization capable of commanding the world.

Therefore... there is another kind of person in the Blood Moon – the Reincarnator.

Reincarnator are different from Yin Sha. Through multiple reincarnations, Reincarnator accumulate a deeper understanding of the laws and techniques, making them invincible among their peers. Moreover, they have almost no bottlenecks in cultivation, ranging from sages and Emperor to the patriarchs of various forces. In fact, many can even surpass the patriarchs.

The Reincarnator beings are extremely powerful; once they are born, they become the de facto rulers of the Blood Moon.

However, Reincarnator face another problem: a short lifespan.

The Great Dao Samsara Technique cultivated by the Reincarnator is not considered a top-tier secret technique in the Twelve Emperor Heavens. Cultivating the Great Dao Samsara Technique has too many side effects. With each reincarnation, a portion of their life force is burned off, resulting in the cumulative lifespan of these Reincarnator being only a fraction of that of ordinary martial artists of the same realm.

However, because most of them have cultivation levels surpassing those of a sect's patriarch, they can accumulate enough to live for tens of thousands of years, and a very few can even live for hundreds of thousands of years.

The time these Reincarnator live becomes extremely precious.

They are reincarnated once, usually over a long period of time, during which they return to the world as completely unconscious souls, awaiting the arrival of their next reincarnation.

The entire Blood Moon is almost entirely composed of Reincarnator and Yin Sha (a type of evil spirit). They cooperate with each other, each fulfilling their duties, ensuring that the Blood Moon can continue for tens of millions of years, and no one has noticed the true nature of this organization.

The blood moon that people have seen all these years is merely the visible manifestation of their power.

The Blood Moon is currently in the process of fully launching its operations, which is why the Reincarnator have appeared in large numbers.

The ten high-ranking members of the Martial Arts Alliance are all Reincarnator completed their reincarnations thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago. Each of them is stronger than the patriarch of a major sect.

Besides these ten people, Blood Moon also has more than thirty reincarnated Reincarnator have not been reincarnated for long. Because they have not cultivated for long, their current realm is limited and they are not yet able to stand alone.

Among them, about ten people were under the age of twenty-five. These young Reincarnator gathered in the Heavenly Blood Alliance. For example, Young Master Feng Ming was one of them.

These Reincarnator, due to their extraordinary strength, became objects of worship for the members of the Heavenly Blood Alliance. It was also because of people Young Master Feng Ming that more and more prodigies chose to join the Heavenly Blood Alliance.

Besides these Reincarnator, there are dozens of Yin Sha who have successfully Body Snatching and are active in places like the Heavenly Dao Alliance and Absolute Sword Mountain, each fulfilling their respective duties.

Among them, "Shentu Nantian", the Gaunt Man, and the dark-skinned youth who appeared in the God Descending Tower are some of the more powerful Yin Sha.

This constitutes almost all of Blood Moon's core strength.

In other words, the actual Blood Moon members number only a little over one hundred.

The others were merely members of the Martial Arts Alliance. Although they were working for Blood Moon, they had no idea that the Martial Arts Alliance was controlled by Blood Moon, nor did they know Blood Moon's purpose.

However, the true power of the Blood Moon goes far beyond that.

The Blood Moon also contains a large number of Yin Fiends, slumbering in an extremely Yin and cold place. These Yin Fiends have been dormant since tens of millions of years ago, after the Great Cataclysm of Antiquity, and have never awakened.

These ancient and terrifying Yin spirits, having slumbered for so long and nourished by the evil energy of that extremely Yin place, are now incredibly powerful, far surpassing the Yin spirits that Body Snatching "Shentu Nantian."

This extremely yin and cold place is precisely the destination of the Heavenly Dao Alliance's "Black Stone Trial"!
