Chapter 110: Finally Obtained

A great battle in Luoshui City stirred the residents into panic and unease.

While the three Blazing Sun Level masters were lured away by Zhou Yang's doppelganger, a mysterious figure in black armor and black helm broke into the Iron Dragon Society's base.

Immediately afterward, a massive, earth‑shaking World of Soldiers erupted within the Iron Dragon Society's headquarters.

When the Iron Dragon Society's leader finally slew the enemy and returned to his lair jubilant, all he saw were ruins littering the ground and a flock of still‑shaken disciples.

The specially‑monitored confinement cell was now empty.

Ten million li from Luoshui City, deep beneath an ancient mountain range tens of thousands of meters down, a weathered middle‑aged man's brow glimmered, the space before him continuously warped and folded, slowly forming a deep black portal.

The man reached out and seized an entirely purple‑gold Ancient Plain Ring in his hand.

His fingers brushed the ring a few times, as if reluctant to let go.

In the end he forced his reluctance aside and handed the ring to a nearby youth clad in black armor.

"Lord Meteor, this is what I obtained from the Blood‑Moon Mountain ruins."

"Thanks to your rescue, I was reunited with Shi Dong and his son; these are a token of gratitude for you, Lord Meteor!"

Zhou Yang did not bother with pleasantries and took the ring to examine it.

The ring's interior spanned only a few hundred meters, containing some everyday cultivation items, and most conspicuously a pile of oddly colored rhombic Crystal Stones and nine dark‑red Blood Pearls shrouded in a hazy golden light.

Both the rhombic stones and the pearls exuded a strange aura, hinting at Fundamental Law while also bearing an indescribable, cultivated flavor.

"Sir, inside are the Divine Blood and offerings I gathered from the Blood‑Moon Mountain ruins."

The middle‑aged man, Shi Qing, replied respectfully.

"Sir, besides that, I also have a piece of information to offer regarding Gu Zhi Shen Dian."

"Oh? What information?"

Zhou Yang showed an interested expression.

The main reason he was willing to intervene was precisely the information about the Ancient Temple he mentioned.

The man paused briefly, then transmitted his voice to Zhou Yang:

"If anyone can successfully fuse all thirty‑six kinds of Divine Blood, they may go to the Ancient Temple ruins and inherit the Only True Method!"

"Only True Method?"

Zhou Yang was a little puzzled.

His external research had yielded no mention of that title.

Nevertheless, he did not press further and chose a safer approach.

A faint green light flashed in his pupils and vanished, and the middle‑aged man before him instantly fell into bewilderment.

Seizing the moment the man was trapped in a 'dream', Zhou Yang's Spiritual Power carefully entered his Consciousness Sea and began browsing his memories.

He had been cultivating 'Three Souls Nine Refinements' for decades, and his Spiritual Power had become monstrously strong.

To fully exploit this, he spent nearly 100,000 points to acquire a powerful Secret Technique specializing in Soul Attack and control.

If his true self were to wield this technique, even a typical Domain Lord Level second‑ or third‑tier cultivator would likely be unable to bear it, let alone the middle‑aged man here who barely reaches Universe Level.

He silently 'flipped' through, and the man's life unfolded before him like a moving painting.

Soon he obtained the information he sought.

"It turns out only the first batch of ancient gods that vanished from this world are the true Original Ancient Gods; the ones now controlling the temple are merely powerful cultivators who have reached the Ancient God Realm."

"Those who awaken Divine Blood Fragments can practice the Fragment Method, up to Universe Level; those who awaken a full Divine Blood can practice the True Method, reaching a level comparable to an Immortal God's 'Ancient God' realm."

"Successfully fusing the thirty‑six kinds of Ancient Divine Blood allows one to cultivate the Primordial Divine Body, comparable to the Original Ancient Gods, and possibly obtain the Only True Method that the Original Ancient Gods used."

"Once the Divine Body is formed, one's life tier undergoes metamorphosis and the ceiling for advancement vanishes; further cultivating the Only True Method continuously strengthens one, eventually reaching the realm beyond gods."

The middle‑aged man must have received a profound inheritance; his memories on the matter were exceptionally complete.

Zhou Yang rummaged through his memories and uncovered many secrets hard to obtain by ordinary means.

Apparently the so‑called Ancient Divine Blood also varies; different types correspond to different Divine Treasuries.

The rarest are those matching the five great Divine Treasuries of brain, blood, marrow, bone, and pulse; even ten thousand sacrifices may not yield a single drop, making them far more valuable than other Divine Blood.

Fortunately, the space ring he possessed already contained the Divine Blood of all five Treasuries, some with multiple drops!

That was precisely why the Iron Dragon Society had targeted him.

After a long time, Zhou Yang finally finished his investigation.

He casually erased all memories the other had of him, then withdrew from the other's Consciousness Sea.

He raised his hand and waved; the sleeping Shi Dong materialized beside the middle‑aged man.

"You gave me such a big surprise; I won't take advantage of you for free."

Zhou Yang murmured.

An ancient plain blue ring floated into the man's hand.

The ring contained some cultivation resources he had casually gathered when he destroyed the Iron Dragon Society headquarters last time, enough for the father and son to advance to Realm Lord Level.

Having done so, he lingered no longer; his figure vanished instantly from the underground space.

Half a day later, in a Dong Fu deep within another mountain range tens of millions of li away, Zhou Yang sat cross‑legged on the ground and swiftly retrieved his latest haul.

Nine dark‑red Blood Pearls surrounded by radiant light hovered in turn, and a smile finally spread across his face.

"Ancient Divine Blood, finally in hand!"

"Let me see what wonders this so‑called Ancient Divine Blood truly holds!"

As his will shifted, the nine luminous dark‑red drops instantly merged into the World Ring in his hand.

Within this world, nearly a hundred figures identical to Zhou Yang sat quietly in meditation.

The moment the nine drops entered, one 'Zhou Yang' suddenly opened his eyes.

He raised his hand, and a round Blood Pearl instantly flew before him.

Then this 'Zhou Yang' sliced his own arm, merging the Ancient Divine Blood corresponding to the Shen Zhi Shen Zang into the wound.

At the moment this drop of Ancient Divine Blood touched his own blood, his consciousness jolted as if he saw a sky‑supporting giant rise before him.

On the giant's body, dark‑red lines kept lighting up, forming a dense red net— the veins beneath its skin.

Boom—~~~

A sound like a surging river rang through the giant's body, the red threads grew brighter, and one could faintly see fresh red blood flowing within.

Within that ever‑rushing blood, mysterious sigils slowly took shape one by one.

Zhou Yang suddenly opened his eyes.

He raised a finger, and a drop of blood fell.

"Hoo!"

The blood twisted in the air, and in the blink of an eye, a brand‑new Zhou Yang appeared in this world.

"Whoa, Blood Rebirth?"

The Zhou Yang outside instantly widened his eyes!
