Chapter 1: The Seven-Colored Dragon Boat, Azure Pearl...

  Regardless of whether it is Xiamen, Xuanyuan or Qingli, they are already the top existence in the cultivation world.

  "You're heartless!" But the moment Huan said this name, not only Xie Yue by his side, but also Xuanyuan and Qingli on the other side, seemed to be trapped in a sea of blood, as if everything they saw before their eyes, even the spiritual realm within them, was filled with bloody winds.

  Just a name, and there is more blood and magic in it than this dark and gloomy blood pool in front of us!

  It's all because of this name that for the Orthodox School of Xianmen, it represents only destruction and conquest, a taboo among taboos!

  Few cultivators in the world know the name "You Wu Xin", and the vast majority of cultivators only know his other name, which is... Yu Ming Blood Demon!

  "Fearless and fearless... All phenomena arise from the mind... Seeing hell is also a free mind... No worries, no fear..."

  The evil moon's twin eyes turned red, and in the sea of recognition, a white lotus flower bloomed. His gaze and entire being became calm and tranquil, no longer fierce as before. "Four hundred years ago, the Golden Summit's war to destroy demons was actually a deceitful lie?"

  "That battle was not in vain... At that time, you had unintentionally cultivated the Supreme Blood God Technique to perfection, becoming a true body of blood demon. You successively annihilated the twelve major sects, causing countless lives to be lost and demonic energy to fill the sky. Then, gathering the heavenly demons from all directions, you attempted to invade Emei in one fell swoop. My master led me and the Kunlun Sect, joining forces with over a hundred top experts from the righteous path of the Hundred Sects, to engage in a decisive battle against you at Jinting..."

  "Later generations all know that this battle was a righteous victory over evil, and I, Kunlun, also became the leader of the righteous path in the world because of this battle, but the facts are not entirely as later generations have passed down..."

  "On that day, Mount Emei's festival brought out the world-renowned divine soldiers, Purple Qiong and Green Suo. The number one person of Mount Emei, Zhuo Wu, held the Haotian Treasure Mirror. Shu Mountain laid down the Wanjian Return to Origin Demonic Sword Array. Huang Jiao Zhe Temple's Ci Ren Master released the Great Turning Wheel Three-Phase Transformation Wonderful Dharma. Qingcheng Li Fudu held the Heavenly Capital Bright River. Cihang Jingzhai formed the Heart Lamp Array. Our master held the Three Yang One Slaughter Sword and the Broken Jade Hook. Feng Han Yue Shu Shu held the Six Ding Six Jia Golden Ring, transforming into six golden armored heavenly gods. Master Shu did not use the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Extinction Divine Crossbow..."

  The people mentioned by Huang Wushen, without exception, have been the most outstanding figures in the world of cultivation for thousands of years. Now, as he spoke slowly, Xie Yue and others could already feel how tragic that battle was just by hearing their names.

  Later generations passed down that in this war, the Orthodox Taoism won a complete victory, and all ten heavenly demons led by You Wuxin were destroyed... But in fact, the loss of the Orthodox Taoism was also tragic. Many masters from Emei, Qingcheng, and Zongbao Temple were killed, including Zhuo Wuxiang and Li Fudu. The Emei divine soldiers Qing Suo and Huang Tian Baojian went missing. The second master of Zongbao Temple, Ci Ren, was seriously injured and later ambushed by demons on his way back to the temple, resulting in his death and the loss of some cultivation techniques.

  At that time, all major sects, including my Kunlun, were severely damaged and took hundreds of years to recover. Although Kunlun rose from this and became the leader of the Taoist world, it also suffered significant losses. My master's uncle, Wu Xingzi, was killed, and Fang Han Yue's uncle died together with Bei Gong Tianmo. The Six Ding Six Jia Huang Jin Huan went missing. My master's Three Yang Yizhan sword was destroyed by You Wuxin's true body, and he suffered from the Heart-Eating Demon Fire of the Underworld for a hundred years before finally burning out his entire body and falling.

  Note: I've kept the translation as close to the original text as possible, but some minor adjustments were made for readability.

  "You are unaware... of the Blood Demon's existence. Thousands of cultivators from various sects have fallen into his hands, and he is the calamity that makes all the righteous sects in the world tremble with fear! Now, my Kunlun and the righteous sects of the world may face such a calamity again. This is a secret of Kunlun, unknown to outsiders. On that day, when the Blood Demon's true body was destroyed, only a few drops of his blood escaped, but those few drops were not all hunted down and refined as legend has it. One drop... managed to escape into my Kunlun's spiritual vein!"

  "He escaped into my Kunlun spiritual vein...". Xie Yue's eyes burst out with a brilliant light, and in this instant, he understood why there was such an abyssal blood pool within the Kunlun Mountains!

  "You have no idea how profound the Blood God's Technique is. Even if you manage to escape with just a single drop of blood, you can slowly cultivate and be reborn. However, he knew that no matter where he escaped to, he would still be pursued and killed. Therefore, during the intense battle when it seemed like he was at a disadvantage, he secretly let out a single drop of Blood God's blood and escaped into my Kunlun Spiritual Pulse."

  The expression on Huang Wuxin's face remained unchanged as he gazed at the pool of churning, dark red blood in front of him. A hint of faint despair appeared on his face, "This spiritual pulse is the first among all spiritual pulses under heaven, it is the foundation of my Kunlun. If I were to destroy this spiritual pulse along with that drop of Blood God's blood, my Kunlun would lose its roots. My master hesitated and concealed this point, working tirelessly with the other elders to find a way to destroy the Blood God's blood without harming the spiritual pulse."

  However, the profound changes in You Wuxin's Blood God's Technique were beyond their imagination. They exhausted all their energy, even having Elder Yuedi give up his physical body and use his divine soul to enter the spiritual pulse to try and kill You Wuxin's last bit of blood essence. But instead, he was countered by You Wuxin's blood essence which had been refined within the spiritual pulse.

  "For four hundred years, the demonic blood of the heartless Yuanshen has been lurking in my Kunlun spiritual vein, absorbing the polluted air of heaven and earth, recuperating and growing stronger day by day. The heavenly energy in my Kunlun spiritual vein is all used by it, and the energy becomes more and more refined and unmatched. As a result, the cultivation speed of our sect's disciples is rapid, and they are all outstanding talents in the world, far surpassing other sects. But who would have known that our Kunlun has been hiding such a huge hidden danger!"

  "Seventy years ago, the primordial spirit of You Wuxin had already shown signs of breaking free from its shell and rebirth. Master and all the other masters could only use the Great Heavenly Net Formation to lock down the spiritual pulse and suppress it. Sixty years ago, when Master ascended, he did not pass on the position of leader to you, but because your nature was too impatient, if this secret were to be hidden in your heart, you would definitely not be able to cultivate your Round Lotus Platform Dharma Flower Technique to the state of Great Perfection. Now that the world is in chaos and war has broken out everywhere, the spiritual pulse of heaven and earth is filled with polluted yin energy, You Wuxin took advantage of this and condensed it into this Underworld Blood Sea, from which he occasionally refines these Underworld Blood Gods, not to mention the Blood Demon clones that appear from time to time, trying to escape the seal. Brother Xuanyuan was heavily injured by one of those clones when he killed You Wuxin's Blood Demon clone that day, and was wounded by it."

  Huang Wushen slowly said up to here, Xie Yue faintly sighed and looked at Huang Wushen, "So you want to take advantage of Yuan Tianyi's weakened powers to seize the Luofu method and treasure, making it easier for me to deal with this Blood Demon?"

  "It's all my fault." Huang Wushen nodded silently, "The original Tianyi's empty destruction of the sea and the Luli secret had some regrets. When he reached the point where his golden body was not destroyed, there were twelve hours when his magical powers would decline. He was too proud as a person and refused to be used by me, Kunlun. I couldn't reveal the news that the Blood Demon hadn't been extinguished, so I planned to let Luo Shenjiang, Lian Xian, and Wen Tian take him down during the twelve hours when his magical powers would decline. But I didn't expect that Yu Tianyi had actually taken a step forward, sensing that Kunlun was going to deal with him, and took the initiative to attack before his magical powers declined."

  At this point, Huang Wuxin slightly raised his head, his eyes closed, yet seemed to be gazing at the void where Yuantian Yī stood. It was as if he were looking at Yuantian's peerless beauty from afar. "Elder brother Xi Yue, you have severed your six senses and did not see Yuantian back then... He truly was a rare talent, making people look up to him in admiration. With the power of the heavens, he arrived, pushing his aura to its peak, reaching an unprecedented realm. Even I, if I were to fight him alone, would not be his match. Luo Shen's manifestation outside his body and his clone fought against him but were defeated miserably, sinking into the ocean floor. Qīng Tiān and Lù Xiān joined forces, yet still could not defeat him. I relied on Jiǔ Bá Shīxiōng to leave seclusion, using my Wú Sè Dìngdà Huálún to barely defeat him with the Zhǎn Sān Shī Miè Shén arrow. Qīng Tiān's sword intent was thwarted, his Ben Míng Jiàn Yuán's power decreased by a level, Lù Xiān Shījiě went into seclusion, Luo Shen's life or death unknown, Jiǔ Bá Shīxiōng was counterattacked by Yuantian, Yuányīng scattered, and my cultivation was lost. Furthermore, the demonic path under the heavens is stirring, as if someone has sensed that Huáng Wuxin is trapped in our Kūn Lún. Now they will inevitably take advantage of this opportunity to attack us. Our Kūn Lún is indeed at an extremely critical juncture."

  "Xie Yu Shi Xiong." The always-standing-by-her-side Xuanyuan let out a soft sigh, "The Head's actions are also because he feels that the Yinyue Blood Demon is becoming increasingly difficult to suppress. After consulting with us, he made this decision. We just didn't expect that Yuan Tianyi's cultivation had reached such a level... If we had known earlier, perhaps seeking his help would have been a better option..."

  Xie Yue's bitter smile, looking at Huang Wuxin's eyes that had been closed all along, he already knew how much weight Huang Wuxin carried on his shoulders. The suspicions and dissatisfaction of decades were instantly dispelled. "If I had known earlier... if I had known earlier, I should have destroyed this spiritual vein and the Blood Demon's blood together. But this Xie Wuhen is a ruthless hero, long ago he has pointed directly at people's hearts... If it were 400 years ago, even if it were myself, I would not have had the heart to destroy this spiritual vein. Without this spiritual vein that is most abundant in spiritual energy, Kunlun might not exist anymore. Who can understand the cause and effect of the world, and break through past and future?"

  What made Yan Yue even more bitter was that for the past hundred years, Kunlun had been flourishing and producing talents in droves. It turned out that it was all because of the pure spiritual energy of the Kunlun Spiritual Pulse, which allowed for extremely fast cultivation. Even if he himself had his current level of cultivation now, it could be said that he had also benefited from Yun Wuxin's unintentional blessing.

  The cause and effect of this world... who can really say it clearly, and who can distinguish right from wrong?

  "I must take responsibility for passing on the teachings, among the younger generation of Kunlun disciples, although there are many talented and outstanding ones, but ultimately their cultivation is not enough." Huang Wushen handed over the crescent-shaped reincarnation wheel to Xie Yue, "Among our ten fellow disciples, only you and Qinglie can guard this Yin-Yang Blood Pool together, protecting me and Kunlun, now that Guangwu has cultivated the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Great Law, cutting off all worldly emotions and no longer asking about worldly affairs."

  The evil moon took over the reincarnation of the Moon Flower Dharma Wheel, directly piercing through the thick blood fog, and walked towards Qing Li's side. "I will not betray the trust of the Palm Teachings, I will not betray Kunlun!" The cold voice that came from behind the tattered figure was as sharp as a blade, cutting off all hesitation!
