**Year 530**: You emerged from your state of comprehension to find yourself within a Tier 4 formation, right beside the formation diagram that guarded the grand array. Understanding the mysterious woman's intent, you picked up the formation diagram, put away the Tier 4 defensive formation, and returned to the Blood Demon Sect.
**Year 531**: The higher-ups of the Blood Demon Sect seemed entirely unconcerned about your lengthy disappearance. Though harboring a slight doubt, you didn't dwell on it, returning straight to the Blood Sea Divine Pool to prepare for your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul (late) stage.
**Year 532**: You successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul (late) stage. For reasons unknown, you suddenly found yourself somewhat missing that mysterious woman.
**Year 533**: Following your advancement to the Nascent Soul (late) stage, you returned to the Myriad Laws Pavilion to continue researching Tier 5 talismans, hoping to find a way to craft long-term, stable combat talismans through this method. Regrettably, you failed in the end; as a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, you were entirely incapable of touching the Rules and Laws of slaughter. It was also at this time that you perceived the *Blood Talisman Killing Scripture* you practiced to be incomplete.
**Year 534**: You advanced to Nascent Soul Perfection, gaining a clearer perception of the Rules and Laws, yet you knew this was still not enough.
**Year 550**: You managed to craft a Tier 5 slaughter talisman in a single attempt, but unfortunately, the killing blood patterns dissipated before they could solidify. Unreconciled, you continued to try.
**Year 580**: Seeing your obsession with the path of talismans, a Blood Demon Sect ancestor specially lent you their treasured, incomplete *Emperor of Talismans Scripture* for study. Upon leafing through the *Emperor of Talismans Scripture*, you found it obscure and difficult to comprehend, yet you felt it would be of immense help in your endeavor to mend the killing blood pattern talismans.
**Year 600**: You successfully crafted a Tier 5 slaughter talisman—the Heavenly Blood Sword Talisman—whose might far exceeded the full-strength strike of an ordinary Deity Transformation powerhouse. You realized your train of thought had been correct, but you still failed to figure out the method from the *Blood Talisman Killing Scripture* that attached slaughter talismans to the physical body for near-permanent enhancement. You sensed the bottleneck for breaking through to Deity Transformation!
**Year 610**: You prepared to break through to the Deity Transformation Stage, and the Blood Demon Sect had also made preparations for you to undergo the Tribulation Transcendence. Looking at the surging blood-red tribulations filling the sky, not a shred of fear showed in your eyes. You had a feeling in your heart that Deity Transformation was merely your beginning.
**Year 611**: You successfully broke through to Deity Transformation, and your perception of the Rules and Laws of heaven and earth was immensely enhanced. However, you were now even more eager to return and comprehend your True Spirit.
**Year 620**: Your True Spirit awakened, illuminating your past and present lives! Your Nascent Soul spirit fetus was immensely enhanced, and your mastery over the power of slaughter increased by +1.
...
**Year 700**: During an outing accompanying the sect to a millennial auction, you casually caught sight of that former blue-haired mysterious girl. Feeling somewhat hesitant, just as you wanted to go over and take a look, you discovered that group of people had already vanished. The sect elders accompanying you felt somewhat puzzled by your reaction, but seeing you wave your hand, they asked no further.
**Year 701**: After the auction concluded, you looked at the Tier 5 spiritual materials you had purchased, a trace of loss in your eyes, for you had failed to find the figure of the blue-haired mysterious woman once more.
**Year 800**: You broke through to Deity Transformation (mid), and were already capable of tentatively imprinting Tier 1 slaughter talismans semi-permanently onto your physical body. You were unsatisfied with this, but by now you had perceived the reason and began deducing the missing portion of the *Blood Talisman Killing Scripture*.
**Year 1000**: You successfully broke through to Deity Transformation (late), yet you still remained utterly helpless against the incomplete subsequent techniques of the *Blood Talisman Killing Scripture*. You even felt that if you could neither find nor deduce the subsequent techniques, you would simply be unable to break through to the Void Refinement Realm. The sect elder merely told you to go out and walk around more often.
**Year 1010**: You successfully inscribed Tier 4 slaughter talismans onto your physical body, but you knew this was already the limit. Vaguely recalling what the sect elder had once told you, after preparing everything, you left the Blood Demon Sect alone and formally began your training journey across the Heavenly Demon Continent.
**Year 1020**: You accidentally stumbled into a Tier 5 secret realm. Originally, you hadn't cared much about this, but upon entering the secret realm, you discovered this was precisely the place where your millenary Dao Fruit from your previous life had been seized. Following the karmic traces of your True Spirit, you arrived at a gloomy and eerie grand hall.
**Year 1021**: Once again, you saw that blue-haired mysterious woman. You were very calm, offering no interrogation; you knew that this time, you had lost again.
One hundred and eighteen Deity Transformation powerhouses laid down a Tier 6 grand slaughter array, determined to annihilate you here. You fought desperately to break through and slaughter your way out, but ultimately failed.
You looked at the blue-haired woman and asked coldly, "Would you dare tell me your name?"
"Bai Ci!" the blue-haired girl answered calmly.
In the end, you used the Blood Lotus talisman brush to awaken your flesh, using your True Spirit cultivation as ink to draw the True Soul Blood Talisman!

Lin Moyu gripped his pale-white wrist tightly, anger flashing in his eyes.
"Damnable, simply damnable!" Lin Moyu was extremely unreconciled; he had actually been ambushed once more, his millenary Dao Fruit seized away yet again. Even though the harvest from this Samsara Heavenly Evolution exceeded his imagination, he still could not suppress the fury in his heart.
Yet immediately afterward, he regained his composure, knowing that anger could solve no problems, and therefore he had to remain calm.
"Heavenly-grade technique, *Blood Talisman Killing Scripture*, Grade 6 Talisman Master inheritance..." A craving for power flashed in Lin Moyu's eyes, and he promptly began cultivating the mysterious *Blood Talisman Killing Scripture*.
Chapter 14: The Strange Su Yan.
Inside the room, countless strands of spiritual qi merged into Lin Moyu's blood, and one after another, blood-red talismanic imprints surfaced across the surface of his skin. Accompanied by the fusion of the Blood Spirit Root and the Blood Lotus Spirit Fetus, Lin Moyu's deep-seated consciousness was also digesting the Grade 6 Talisman Master's slaughter talisman inheritance.
Soon, upon digesting the memories of the Grade 6 Talisman Master, the first stage of the *Blood Talisman Killing Scripture* reached perfection directly. Lin Moyu finally possessed a powerful means at this moment.
Within the inherited memories of the Grade 6 Talisman Master, there were close to a thousand types of Tier 1 slaughter talismans alone, enabling Lin Moyu to have coping methods when facing any type of enemy.
Because he lacked a handy magic tool at hand, Lin Moyu couldn't help wondering why the Samsara Heavenly Evolution couldn't grant him his natal spiritual treasure, the Blood Lotus talisman brush, all at once. Regrettably, after this Samsara Heavenly Evolution, Lin Moyu had also figured out that he was probably unable to acquire physical items through the Samsara Heavenly Evolution, obtaining only those illusory yet substantial rewards.
Lin Moyu raised his hand, dropping a single drop of vital blood into the air, and then began drawing the Tier 1 slaughter talisman—the Fierce God Talisman—following his will. Seeing the blood patterns in the air match those in his memory identically, he attached that Fierce God Talisman onto his forearm. This was also the most crucial element in the Grade 6 Talisman Master inheritance.
Lin Moyu could imprint a total of six slaughter talismans across his limbs, back, and forehead. Furthermore, as his cultivation realm increased, he could swap out slaughter talismans that lagged behind his realm for ones matching his current level.
Feeling the intense slaughter power of the Fierce God Talisman adhering to his forearm, Lin Moyu let out a long breath: "I finally have a shred of self-preservation capability."
**Lin Moyu**
Aptitude: Blood Lotus Spirit Fetus (Congenital Spirit Body)
Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 5
Destiny: Samsara Heavenly Evolution
Samsara Warehouse: Blood Soul Blood Talisman (Orange), Lotus Petal Remnant (Gold)
Samsara Heavenly Evolution Attempts: 0 (Can conduct Samsara Heavenly Evolution in seven days)
Upon changing his cultivation technique, Lin Moyu also broke through directly from Qi Refining Level 4 to Qi Refining Level 5, while his Blood Spirit Root had merged with the Blood Lotus Spirit Fetus.
Standing up and stretching his limbs, his urgency in drawing the Fierce God Talisman was not merely to test out the slaughter talismans, but also because of the small secret realm set to open today within the Yangyang Grotto-Heaven.
At that time, all Qi Refining Stage cultivators could spend one hundred Spirit Stones to purchase an entry qualification; any resources collected within could be kept by themselves or sold back to official collection points.
Because that small secret realm did not boast particularly rich resources, and given its frequent openings every three years for a duration of seven days, aside from the students of Yangyang Cultivation High School heading there, other Qi Refining cultivators rarely visited that secret realm.
Lin Ruyu was uncharacteristically preparing to head to that small secret realm, primarily wishing to take Yun Rumo to experience it, while Lin Moyu was merely being brought along.
Having truly felt the might of the slaughter talismans, Lin Moyu understood that this trip to the secret realm over the next few days would definitely allow him to strike it rich.
Standing before the mirror, Lin Moyu looked at his still energetic self and lamented: "As expected of a cultivator! Staying up all night doesn't even bring dark circles!"
Upon leaving his room, Lin Moyu saw Lin Ruyu and Yun Rumo already prepared and waiting for him.
Yun Rumo greeted Lin Moyu. Although Lin Moyu still ignored her, because this wasn't the first time, it wasn't as awkward as before.
Calmly, Lin Moyu picked up a piece of bread placed on the table, took a bite, and said, "It's quite delicious."
Watching Lin Moyu eat with relish, Yun Rumo whispered, "That was breakfast Auntie prepared for me."
Lin Moyu glanced up at Yun Rumo and said indifferently, "No matter, I've requisitioned it."
...
"Is that the secret realm?" Yun Rumo pointed at a rift high above the center of the square and asked.
"Indeed, that is where we are going." Lin Ruyu produced three highly futuristic Rubik's cubes.
"Take these well; this is the voucher to enter the secret realm." Lin Ruyu distributed the cubes to the two of them, then closed her eyes to quietly await the opening of the secret realm.
Suddenly, Yun Rumo nudged Lin Moyu's arm, asking in a low voice, "Who are those people? How do they look about our age? Are they cultivators too?"
Lin Moyu opened his eyes, gazed calmly at the students standing in the long queue, nodded, and said, "They are students from Yangyang Cultivation High School. Yangyang High is also the only cultivation school in the Yangyang Grotto-Heaven."
Yun Rumo's eyes widened in profound shock as she said, "Wow, they're that amazing?"
Hearing this, Lin Moyu sneered, "What's so amazing about them? Most of them aren't even as formidable as you."
Indeed, two days ago, Lin Moyu had begun teaching Yun Rumo the *Canglan Art*. Because Yun Rumo possessed an ice-attribute mutant spiritual root, her speed in cultivating the ice- and cloud-attributed *Canglan Art* was exceptionally fast. In merely two days, Yun Rumo had already advanced from spiritual qi entering her body to stabilizing at Qi Refining Level 1.
Originally, Lin Moyu had no intention of paying attention to those people from Yangyang High, but who could have expected that Su Yan—the girl he had confessed to back when his True Spirit was still unawakened—would actually approach him amidst the shoving of several female classmates.
Frowning, Lin Moyu looked at Su Yan, his eyes filled with incomprehension. Li Zihang had only said a few days ago that Su Yan was his girlfriend; how could she pull this stunt now?
"I'm sorry, Moyu!" Su Yan said, her eyes brimming with guilt.
Though Lin Moyu understood even less, he still spoke up, "It has nothing to do with you; it's my own fault for bringing it upon myself."
"So you still hate me, then?" Stirred by her emotions, Su Yan actually wanted to grasp Lin Moyu's arm, but he detected it and easily dodged away.
"I don't hate you, nor do I hate Li Zihang. I merely wish to live the rest of my days in plain mediocrity. You lot should be able to find out that I've already transferred to an ordinary high school." Lin Moyu's tone remained calm. Although he didn't know what game Su Yan was playing, ever since awakening his True Spirit, he knew clearly that Su Yan was absolute green-tea material.
Her family background was inferior to his, yet she excelled in her pleasing appearance, and even maintained ties with multiple scions of wealthy families at school.
Lin Moyu couldn't fathom why he had ever fancied Su Yan before his True Spirit awakened; no matter how he looked at it, she wasn't his preferred type at all.
Just as Su Yan was about to speak, Li Zihang—who hadn't been in the queue earlier—suddenly followed behind a middle-aged man. Seeing Su Yan talking to Lin Moyu, the fury burning in his eyes was visible to everyone present.
Naturally, Su Yan also felt Li Zihang's enraged gaze, but she didn't care. Instead, she said coquettishly, "It seems the secret realm is about to open. If we happen to run into each other inside, we can chat more..."
After Su Yan walked away, Lin Moyu visibly sensed that Yun Rumo felt somewhat dejected, yet his mind was occupied with wondering what precisely that Su Yan intended to do.
"Once my cultivation is raised, Li Zihang, you'll be the first one I kill!" Lin Moyu watched Li Zihang's retreating figure, a surging intent to kill flashing in his eyes.
