Blood Moving meant fusing blood with runes to give birth to divine radiance, nourishing divinity, seizing the creative power of heaven and earth, and strengthening the body to achieve cultivation and evolution.
Generally speaking, the minimum threshold for the early Blood Moving Realm was eight thousand jin of destructive force.
The middle stage required twenty thousand jin, and the late stage fifty thousand jin. Those who reached the late Blood Moving Realm could rampage among giant beasts, their might overwhelming.
At present, with the Supreme Bone's enhancement, Shi Yi's arms could exert eighteen thousand jin of force. This was purely physical strength; if he used runes, it would be greater still.
Judging by destructive force, he already counted as having entered the middle stage of the Blood Moving Realm.
However, that was only how ordinary beings measured it. For Shi Yi, there were no early, middle, or late stages. He had only one goal: the absolute limit of the Blood Moving Realm.
That meant unleashing one hundred and eight thousand jin of divine strength with a single swing of one arm. This was purely physical strength, without activating the runes within his body-and, of course, without the Supreme Bone's contribution.
Reaching the utmost limit of Blood Moving without relying on the Supreme Bone was extraordinarily difficult for a bearer of Double Pupils whose physical foundation was not particularly astonishing.
But Shi Yi had no other choice. If he knew his body was his weakness yet refused to confront it, then waited until he faced a formidable enemy and felt powerless before regretting it, he would already be too late.
Reborn in Perfect World and bearing the name of Double Pupils, Shi Yi had to take the strongest path with every step. At the very least, he had to reach the utmost limit of what he could achieve.
Perhaps some would think they could first advance their realm without worrying about the strength of their foundation, then return to mend it and cultivate anew once their cultivation was higher.
Yet in the struggles of a great age, what one fought for was fortune and opportunity. Unseen, every victory and defeat against a formidable enemy of the same realm affected one's fortune and opportunities, and the heights one could reach in the future.
If one chose neither to seize nor to contend, advancing one's realm first, how could one build an invincible momentum, accumulate fortune, or contend for heaven's mandate? In the end, it would all be flowers in a mirror and the moon upon water-nothing but emptiness.
After the baptism ended, Shi Yi returned to his private courtyard. This time, Shi Yuan left him the most precious Bone Scripture currently held by the Martial King Manor. Even if its bone text did not reveal every secret of primordial runes, it was far beyond what ordinary Bone Scriptures could compare with.
It would help Shi Yi comprehend the true meaning of bone text and strengthen his cultivation in the Blood Moving Realm.
Beyond that, Shi Yuan also brought a large quantity of cultivation resources: precious fruits that increased blood and vitality, ancient pills suitable for Blood Moving Realm cultivators, and precious blood rich in divine substances...
Most important of all were two guardian Treasure Techniques of the manor: the Bian Technique and the Treasure Technique of the primordial divine king, the Five-Colored Peacock King.
The former was a foundational technique of the Stone Kingdom. When the Martial King Manor first branched off from the imperial family, it had already learned the Bian Treasure Technique. The latter, the Five-Colored Peacock Treasure Technique, came from a Five-Colored Peacock painting collected by the Stone Kingdom's imperial family. Its five-colored divine light could rend the heavens, and its mysteries were boundless.
It was said that the Five-Colored Peacock painting had already been stolen from the imperial palace. However, the Five-Colored Divine Light Treasure Technique learned from it had not vanished, becoming one of the Martial King Manor's two guardian Treasure Techniques.
Within the Martial King Manor, everyone qualified to learn the Bian Technique and the Five-Colored Divine Light Treasure Technique possessed exceptional talent and formidable strength. As a born divine being, Shi Yi naturally had unconditional access to both guardian Treasure Techniques.
"The Bian Technique, five-colored divine light..."
Dazzling symbols flickered in Shi Yi's eyes like stars, shining brilliantly.
He was comprehending these two guardian Treasure Techniques. With his Double Pupils, Shi Yi soon grasped the essence of the Bian Technique and the Five-Colored Divine Light Treasure Technique.
Boom!
With a tremendous crash, a Bian landed in Shi Yi's courtyard. Ferocious beyond measure, he resembled a divine tiger with a pair of dragon horns. Radiance blazed across his entire body, piercing the eyes, and he threw back his head and roared, shaking the earth.
These techniques were indeed worthy of guarding the manor. Their power far, far surpassed that of the Treasure Techniques Shi Yi had encountered before.
For now, he had only gained an initial grasp of them. Their runes were exceedingly intricate, not something he could see through completely at a glance.
Soon, the Five-Colored Divine Light Treasure Technique also manifested at Shi Yi's fingertips. The next moment, a majestic Five-Colored Peacock stood beside the Bian, beating its wings and crying out as it scattered endless, dazzling radiance in five colors, brilliant and intimidating.
These two guardian Treasure Techniques were powerful enough to serve as Shi Yi's trump cards at this stage. As long as his foundation was strong enough, wielding them would allow him to sweep through opponents of the same realm, crushing them like rotten wood and withered grass.
Of course, his mastery of the Treasure Techniques was still insufficient, remaining at the elementary stage. To truly wield them with divine mastery and unleash their greatest power, he needed to condense these two techniques' intricate runes into a few dozen symbols, a handful of symbols, or even a single symbol.
If he could do that, he would have truly mastered the essence and profound mysteries of the Treasure Techniques.
After gaining an initial grasp of the two foundational Treasure Techniques, Shi Yi consumed some of his cultivation resources. Using this external aid, he maintained the growth of his blood and vitality and replenished the divine power within his body, while beginning an intensive study of those precious primordial Bone Scriptures.
When he opened a Bone Scripture, a primordial aura washed over him, making him feel as though he had returned to the savage age, to those years when humanity struggled against heaven and earth and fought to survive among all manner of ferocious beasts.
From its opening pages, the Bone Scripture explained the most primordial secrets of bone text, depicting the origins of runes and elucidating the mysteries of primordial treasure bones. Shi Yi read it in utter fascination.
The most precious Bone Scripture in a King Marquis's manor might not compare to the Divine Guidance Chapter, but for Shi Yi at his current stage, it was a priceless treasure.
He was in the most important stage of cultivation within the Blood Moving Realm and needed to comprehend the true meaning of runes. Only then could he advance further in this realm.
Soon, Shi Yi reaped enormous rewards, his understanding of runes far surpassing what it had been before.
With his Double Pupils, he possessed an advantage few could match when it came to comprehending the Great Dao and primordial runes.
Precisely because of this, he took only a little over ten days to gain an initial grasp of the two guardian Treasure Techniques and thoroughly comprehend the Bone Scriptures.
Shi Yi set down the Bone Scriptures and began applying what he had gained from comprehending the Dao to his cultivation.
Hum!
He sat with solemn, sacred dignity. Within his blood vessels, countless strands of divine radiance shone brilliantly. Each strand was the union of a rune and a drop of blood, like an eternal divine furnace, ceaselessly refining the essence of heaven and earth to strengthen his body.
Suddenly, the divine radiance in Shi Yi's blood changed, erupting in waves of blinding light. The endless points of light were no longer merely unions of blood and runes; they began to evolve, transforming toward the form of Dao Bells. His eyes blazed as he looked inward, watching it all unfold.
The process was far from easy. It was arduous, and Shi Yi spent several days transforming all the divine radiance in his blood into Dao Bells.
Clang!
When he activated the divine radiance in his blood, clear chimes rang out from within, melodious and vast.
