The air in the main hall of the Sky Sword Sect Strategy Hall was heavy. The solid stone walls seemed to bear the pressure of the important meeting that was taking place. In the center of the room, a round jade table reflected the torchlight, revealing a map of the vast territory between the northern mountains and eastern valleys.Master Han stood with both hands resting on the table. His eyes were sharp, scrutinizing the Dark Sect's defense lines."We must attack first," he said, firmly. "Waiting only gives them time to strengthen their defenses and expand their influence. We cannot allow them to continue kidnapping young cultivators.""But the location of their main base is still uncertain," Lin Yue said, folding her arms. "We only know that they move around among the ruins of the Black Temple."Ren Tian stood at the side of the room, his eyes looking at the map but his mind focused on the pulsing God's Blood inside his body. Since receiving the inheritance, he could feel unparallele

The sky was overcast over the Crescent Moon Sect. Dark clouds hung low, as if signaling something big was stirring-not in the sky, but within Ren Tian.In the private training room provided by Master Shen, Ren Tian sat cross-legged amidst a golden red qi formation. A faint blood aura enveloped his body. His breathing was slow, but deep. His dantian radiated with unearthly energy-wandering, wild, lively."Master," he said without opening his eyes. "I feel something... something strange. My qi feels... not just mine."Master Shen stood by the stone pillar, watching his student with a deep gaze."That's God's Blood," he said quietly. "An ancient energy that not only gives strength... but also has its own consciousness."Ren Tian opened his eyes slowly, his gaze sharp. "Consciousness?"Master Shen nodded. "There's a part of the ancient being bound in that blood. It can help you... or destroy you.""Then how can I control it?" asked Ren Tian in a wary tone."You can't control it like ordin

Morning light infiltrated into the private training room of the Crescent Moon Sect, illuminating the silhouette of Ren Tian who stood upright in the center of the qi circle. His eyes were closed, yet his body emitted a powerful aura of golden red. Every breath he took seemed to merge with the flow of energy around him.Master Shen sat at the side of the room, observing silently. The God Blood aura within his disciple had changed-more stable, more lively."Feel your blood flow," Master Shen said softly. "Not as a burden, but as part of life. Control it, don't fight it."Ren Tian took a deep breath. Inside his body, he could feel the pulse of the primeval power that once felt like an uncontrollable storm. Now... that power felt like a wild river that had finally found its course."I... can feel it," Ren Tian said softly. "This power... is answering my call.""Good," said Master Shen. "Now try to condense your qi using God's Blood energy."Ren Tian raised his hand. In his palm, there app

The night sky cast an eerie air over the Crescent Moon Sect. The wind carried dark whispers from the north-as if the world sensed something unnatural was approaching.Ren Tian stood on the balcony of his pavilion, his eyes staring at the tip of the mountain with a tense expression. The sound of slow steps approached him. Lin Yue appeared carrying a cup of hot tea."Still can't sleep?" she asked softly.Ren Tian took the cup without saying anything. He took a small sip, then nodded. "I feel... something will happen in the near future.""It's not just a feeling," interrupted a heavy voice from behind. Master Shen stepped in, his face dark. "The Dark Sect is starting to make its move. Just this morning, the Snow Dragon Sect's branch headquarters was found destroyed-no one survived."Lin Yue was wide-eyed. "What... they attacked without warning?"Master Shen nodded. "And not just randomly. They used a blood formation that has even been banned in the cultivation world. Only one message was

The night wind blew sharply at the top of the Meditation Tower. Ren Tian sat cross-legged in the center of the qi formation circle, his body surrounded by an increasingly dense and rapidly rotating vortex of blood-red energy."Take a deep breath. Let your qi merge with your blood, not fight it," Master Shen's voice sounded calm, yet firm.Ren Tian nodded slowly, his face contorted by intense concentration. The God's blood inside his body was throbbing like a second heart. Ever since the lightning battle against Huoyan, that flow of power wouldn't calm down."Why does it feel different than before, Master?" murmured Ren Tian. "This blood... it's as if it's trying to dominate my consciousness."Master Shen sighed. "That's because you're starting to enter the Second Level of God's Blood. Not only must your body be strong, but your soul must also be steadfast. Otherwise... you'll be consumed by its power."Suddenly, Ren Tian opened his eyes. "There are voices in my head. Familiar voices..
