"Blood God Scripture"

Deep within the Holy Sect, at the highest level of the Great Void Mirror Heaven.

In the far distance, starlight twinkled. Guan Sihai, the Desolate Halberd Shattering Void True Lord, with his bare upper body, sat casually on the core of a floating meteorite. His majestic body, as if forged by ancient Gods and Devils, exuded a heart-palpitating sense of power.

At this moment, the Holy Sect True Lord was playing with a Buddhist rosary in his hand with great interest.

These prayer beads radiate Baoguang and contain incomparably pure Buddhist power.

The faint image of a Bodhisattva's face appeared on the bead.

However, it differs from the compassionate or majestic bodhisattva images found in ordinary temples.

The Bodhisattva's face is distorted, and his eyes and brows are filled with an unconcealable fear and pain, as if he is enduring some kind of great terror.

"Did you give him the thing?"

Without raising his head, the deep voice of the Desolate Halberd True Lord echoed in the void.

His rough fingers gently caressed the Buddhist rosary that bore witness to the Bodhisattva's terror, as if he were touching an interesting trophy.

The void below rippled slightly, and the figure of the True Person Southern Dipper materialized. He bowed respectfully and replied, "Reporting to the True Lord, it has been handed over to him."

Before his Liberation by Violence, Deng Yin did indeed have the idea of completely destroying the general outline of the "Blood God Scripture" to prevent it from causing harm to future generations.

However, his disciples discovered it in time and managed to pull him out.

"Now, as the True Lord intended, it has been completely handed over to Qi Yun."

"Hmm." Desolate Halberd True Lord gave a noncommittal response, still fiddling with his prayer beads, and casually asked, "Do you think this kid will try to comprehend it?"

True Person Southern Dipper seemed to have prepared his answer in advance, speaking with certainty, "Based on my close observation over this period of time, this young man appears to be well-behaved and even somewhat lazy on the surface, but in reality, he has great ambitions and a firm Dao heart that far surpasses his peers. He has the ambition to swallow the heavens and the earth."

Without such a mindset, he would never have been able to navigate that dead end and attain the [Supreme Dao Foundation], a feat rarely seen throughout the ages.

He paused slightly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "The general outline of the Blood God Scripture, though extremely dangerous, points directly to the origin of the Great Dao of the Blood Sea, and is one of the world's top inheritances."

This shows his domineering mentality that "everything can be used as sustenance."

Once you know you have this item, you'll understand its immense potential.

They will never shrink back because of its fearsome reputation, but will regard it as another ladder to climb the great path.

Therefore, the disciple asserts that he will definitely seek enlightenment, and—very soon.

"Oh? So confident?" Desolate Halberd True Lord finally raised his eyelids, his gaze like two tangible bolts of lightning, sweeping towards True Person Southern Dipper with a hint of inquiry.

"My judgment has never been wrong," True Person Southern Dipper said in a deep voice, his tone unwavering.

"Heh." Desolate Halberd True Lord chuckled lightly, no longer pressing for answers. He turned his gaze to the Bodhisattva prayer beads in his hand that were wailing silently, and slowly said, "I hope it is as you say."

This general outline was indeed extremely difficult to obtain back then, and the number of people lost—well, let's not even mention it.

However, the Great Dao of the Blood Sea is notoriously strange and difficult to verify.

This general outline is even more malevolent; anyone who practices it will go mad or die.

It's almost become Curse.

He seemed to remember something, and gently rubbed his temples, looking slightly irritated. "Originally, that kid Deng Yin was the most promising. His talent, temperament, and opportunities were all top-notch. Even Wudao Dao looked at him differently."

In the end, he was still influenced by the ancient resentment and Blood Sea within, and went astray.

It was a pity that we ultimately failed at the last hurdle.

The fleeting emotion vanished, Desolate Halberd True Lord's expression returned to its cold sternness, his tone commanding. "Keep a close eye on this matter personally."

"Once Qi Yun begins his comprehension, you must report back immediately if any unusual activity occurs, without fail!"

His voice deepened, yet carried immense weight. "This concerns the future of our Holy Sect; we cannot afford to be careless!"

True Person Southern Dipper's expression hardened, he bowed deeply, and solemnly replied, "Yes! This disciple will obey the True Lord's decree!"

We must pay close attention and leave no room for oversight!

Silence returned to the void, with only the Buddhist bead that recorded the Bodhisattva's terror emanating a faint light between the fingers of the Desolate Halberd True Lord.

Inside the quiet room of the Green Mountain Daoist Temple.

Qi Yun sat cross-legged alone, holding in one hand the dark, blood-red lotus platform covered with strange characters.

The room was dimly lit, except for the ancient characters flowing on the lotus platform, which emitted a faint glow that illuminated his thoughtful face.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingertips unconsciously traced the cold surface of the lotus platform.

Qi Yun's mind raced with thoughts, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes every now and then.

Such an important thing----

The general outline of the Blood God Scripture is the supreme secret manual that points directly to the Great Dao of the Blood Sea.

"Teacher—why didn't you say a single word to me?"

Having spent a long time with the old True Person Deng Yin, Qi Yun knew his teacher's personality very well.

He may appear aloof and taciturn, but he has his own set of principles.

He is definitely not the kind of person who likes to create mystery or foreshadow events.

If he truly intended to pass on this scroll, "Blood God Scripture," which concerns the Dao Path and may even contain enormous risks, to himself.

Given his character, he would personally explain the situation and clarify the pros and cons, and would never delegate it to others.

They would not leave behind only a vague divine message before their Liberation by Violence.

This is the Wuji Sacred Sect, not some model of righteousness where people love each other and are without ulterior motives.

When it comes to inheritance, especially such forbidden inheritance, entrusting it to someone else involves too many variables.

This is definitely not the way the old True Person behaves.

"There's a problem—" Qi Yun muttered to himself, his doubts deepening.

"Moreover, this problem is probably quite significant."

He recalled the seemingly concerned but actually profound instructions given by the True Person Southern Dipper when he handed over the lotus platform.

"Whether or not to cultivate oneself is a matter of utmost caution."

If the sect's higher-ups truly believe this scripture is extremely dangerous and fear that disciples might be led astray, the most direct course of action would be to completely seal it away or strictly prohibit its use.

Why go through all that trouble, insisting on having him put this "hot potato" into her own hands?

They gave it to me, but then warned me of the danger.

This gesture didn't seem like dissuasion; rather, it seemed like—a fear that he might be too afraid to practice.

Was the word "dangerous" deliberately used to arouse his curiosity and competitive spirit?

As the layers of mist were lifted, the bait and schemes hidden beneath the "gift" became vaguely visible.

Having unraveled the hidden threads within, Qi Yun had already made his decision.

Since True Person Southern Dipper went to such lengths to give him this thing...

If he doesn't train well, it might cause other problems.

With a series of hand gestures, the dark black [Human Emperor Banner] appeared in the void beside him, and the phantom images of mountains, rivers and states on the banner slowly flowed, exuding the oppressive aura of the emperor.

Without even glancing at it, Qi Yun casually tossed the Dark Blood Lotus Platform, which contained the general outline of the Blood God Scripture, directly into the Human Emperor Banner.

"Eight hundred true spirits, you shall comprehend this matter, analyze its principles, and record its changes."

A thought entered the banner, and the eight hundred orderly and intelligent spirits simultaneously received the command.

Qi Yun's thinking was clear and calm.

This outline of the "Blood God Scripture" may contain earth-shattering secrets or supreme power.

However, the risks and calculations behind it are equally enormous.

He certainly couldn't risk taking that risk himself.

Human Emperor Banner to scout ahead is undoubtedly the safest option.

These true spirits are of a special nature, sharing the same origin as the Human Emperor Banner.

Even if one is eroded, contaminated, or even mutated by the strange power in the scriptures during the process of enlightenment, its influence is basically limited to the banner.

"Even if something truly uncontrollable happens," Qi Yun said calmly, his eyes indifferent, his heart unmoved.

"At worst, I can simply draw upon the power of the Human Emperor Banner's origin to completely destroy the contaminated part, and then let the Human Emperor Banner regenerate a new true spirit."

Putting the matter of the Blood God Scripture aside for the time being, Qi Yun flipped his hand and took out his Great Void Jade Tally.

He has now reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

The jade token naturally lost its original color, transforming into a bluish-green hue that only sect True Person could possess, warm and translucent, containing spiritual light.

This symbolizes his new identity and authority within the Holy Sect.

His Divine Sense sank into the jade token, and his thoughts followed, instantly crossing some invisible boundary.

Before his eyes, light and shadow shifted, and in an instant, Qi Yun's "consciousness" had descended upon a place whose grandeur and mystery could not be described in words.

This is a gigantic marketplace suspended in nothingness.

The magnificent palaces and pavilions stand side by side, their terraces and towers arranged in a harmonious and orderly fashion, with rays of precious light rising into the sky.

A myriad of inspirations converge and surge here, illuminating the entire space with Flowing Light, making it seem like a fairyland.

A series of illusory figures moved about and conversed within this space.

Their auras were all extraordinary; at the very least, they were True Person at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

This place is the Sacred Sect Holy Sect Treasure Market, where only Foundation Establishment True Person of the Wuji Sacred Sect are qualified to descend with their Divine Sense!

Compared to the markets accessible to Qi Refining Stage disciples, the treasures, books, and resources circulating here are ten or even a hundred times higher in quality and rarity!

Qi Yun came here with a clear goal—to choose a suitable Foundation Establishment Law Technique for himself.

Admittedly, his [Great Luo Edict] Divine Ability is nothing short of heaven-defying, capable of directly transforming Qi Refining Law Technique into Foundation Establishment Law Technique.

However, this Supreme Divine Ability power is extremely powerful, and it requires a considerable amount of time to recover after use.

Since the last time [Soul Refining Banner] was activated, [Great Luo Edict] has remained dormant, and it is unknown when it will be usable again.

During this "downtime", Qi Yun naturally cannot just wait idly.

Although he had just entered the Foundation Establishment, he possessed formidable magical Law Power and two great Divine Ability abilities brought by the Supreme Dao Foundation.

However, it has become a blank slate when it comes to conventional methods of fighting the enemy.

Taking this opportunity, I'll browse through the Holy Sect Treasure Market and, with my True Person status, see if I can find one or two Foundation Establishment Law Technique that suit my Dao Path and can instantly boost my combat power.

His avatar strolled along the illusory street, its Baoguang radiating, its gaze sweeping over the shops and stalls on both sides, constructed from divine thoughts.

"Nine Heavens Thunder Sound Sword Instruction", "Mystic Female Incarnation Great Law", "Five Elements Extinction Divine Light", "Secrets of Void Evasion"

While not commonplace here, the Foundation Establishment level Law Technique and Divine Ability abilities that would cause bloodshed in the outside world are by no means rare.

Qi Yun traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping and starting as needed.

My steps suddenly stopped in front of an inconspicuous stall.

"This is----"

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Qi Yun's expression turned strange. "Basic Sword Qi?"

"Foundation Establishment Chapter?"
