Chapter 352: Chapter 204 Blood Demon Life, Three Realms of Heaven and Man_2

Xu Yan increasingly felt that the pool was built on top of a vein of Spirit Crystal.

Considering this place is a tomb of a Refining God Heavenly Man, having a vein

of Spirit Crystal isn’t all that surprising.

At one moment, he felt a surge in his aura and made a minor breakthrough in

the Tongxuan Realm.

“I’ve reached the minor accomplishment stage in the Tongxuan Realm. The major accomplishment stage is still some distance away, but even without any cultivation in this pool, advancing to the major accomplishment stage shouldn’t be too far off.”

Xu Yan got out of the pool. Du Yuying’s body’s flaws had been completely repaired, and her aura had strengthened.

She had become a Grandmaster!

Shifting his gaze around the tomb room, after the spiritual fog had dispersed, Xu Yan’s line of sight was uninhibited. He noticed that at the back of this pool, an area of the stone wall of the tomb had been excavated.

In the cavity rested a coffin.

He couldn’t help but wonder, why place the coffin inside this hollowed-out hole in the wall instead of directly in the tomb?

“Young Master Xu!”

Du Yuying had awoken.

Her eyes were filled with excitement. Her physical problems had been resolved, her strength increased significantly, and more importantly, she felt that her talent had also greatly improved.

After getting out of the pool and evaporating the water from her body by cultivating, she put her clothes back on.

“Who does this tomb belong to?”

Xu Yan asked as he walked towards the coffin.

He was of course very curious about the Refining God Heavenly Man.

“He may be my ancestor, but I’m not sure. I only know that this place was left by my ancestor to repair physical defects, but not much else. There seems to be some secret he hadn’t passed down to later generations.”

Du Yuying quietly replied.

“There should also be another important thing here, though I’m not quite sure

of its purpose.”

After some thought, Du Yuying added.

“What is it?”

Xu Yan asked curiously.

“It’s a jade command, a jade token!”

While speaking, the two arrived at the cavity.

The coffin was pitch black and it was unclear what material it was made from. On the surface of the coffin were rows of small characters that seemed to be written in fresh blood.

“Here lies the Blood Demon! Whether it’s kindness or resentment, it ends here.

Born in obscurity and buried in the wilderness.”

In front of the inscription, laying on the cover of the coffin, was a jade token.

“Blood Demon?”

Xu Yan picked up the jade token and handed it to Du Yuying, surprised, he said: “Your ancestor, was he the Blood Demon?”

Du Yuying stowed the jade token and shook her head: “No, it shouldn’t be. I believe the Blood Demon was buried by my ancestor.”

She paused before adding: “To be precise, the Blood Demon should have been buried by my ancestral grandmother.”

Xu Yan looked at the cavity and noticed that on the walls of the cavity, some drawings depicted what seemed to be the course of a person’s life.

Clearly, the drawings depicted the life of the Blood Demon!

This place was the tomb of a Refining God Heavenly Man, there was no doubt that the Blood Demon was a Refining God Heavenly Man.

Xu Yan couldn’t help but be curious about the life of this Refining God Heavenly Man and closely inspected the drawings on the wall.

The first drawing showed a woman in a small village giving birth to a baby…

As he looked over each drawing, Xu Yan started to understand the life of the Blood Demon and couldn’t help but feel moved. A bastard of a large family, not being recognized, and facing all kinds of humiliation.

He entered a sect to cultivate martial arts but was also humiliated there.

Latter on, he was saved by a woman. He fell in love with her, but she was in love with someone else… Amid all this, he killed the man she loved.

Devastated by grief and desiring revenge for her beloved, she drove a sword into her own chest, but then seemed to have a change of heart and discarded the sword before leaving.

Heavily injured, the Blood Demon was pursued and subsequently disappeared.

Xu Yan saw one drawing of the woman kneeling on the ground being insulted by a group of people. The people seemed to be the family of her beloved, blaming her for freeing the Blood Demon, and accusing her of having an illicit relationship with him.

A little girl stepped forward to protect her.

In the next scene, the little girl was being oppressed by a crowd. The woman stepped forward, deciding to commit suicide to resolve all the grievances. At this moment, the Blood Demon appeared.

The Blood Demon was attacked. He held the woman’s dead body and retreated, the little girl seemed to insult the Blood Demon while aiding his escape.

In another scene, the little girl was mistaken for the woman by the mentally disturbed Blood Demon and was pinned to the ground…

In the last few paintings, cities were depicted one by one, each littered with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, while one person stood in the midst, brandishing a blade.

Many sects were eradicated, by a group of blood-thirsty people committed massacres everywhere, consuming essences and blood to strengthen themselves.

In the second-to-last painting, a group of powerful beings retaliated, slaughtering the blood-thirsty horde and besieging the Blood Demon, who managed to escape through a gateway.

The final painting showed a scene inside a mountain, a girl from the past, landing a blow that punctured the Blood Demon’s skull…

“What’s this?”

Xu Yan suddenly looked puzzled. The mountain in the final painting seemingly was none other than the Endless Mountain!

“Blood Demon? Could it be the Demonic Cult’s Master?”

The disappearance of the Demonic Cult’s Master now made sense; he was killed, and he himself was the Blood Demon-not a native of the Inner Domain!

“It is said that my great-grandmother was severely injured before, and it was my great-grandfather who saved her, and later they became a couple…”

Yuying spoke softly.

“Your great-grandmother, she was a Martial Arts Heavenly Man. Your great-grandfather, he…”

Xu Yan stopped himself before he could finish speaking.

“Perhaps, it was to repay a favor.”

After some thought, Yuying continued, “The great-grandmother I spoke of isn’t from the Prince Du residence. My lineage belongs more towards my mother’s lineage, just like my mother, her ancestry is passed down through females, and all their children have been daughters, most likely due to the strong Heavenly Man bloodline.”

Xu Yan nodded, he had finished reviewing the life of the Blood Demon which made him sigh. Just as it was written on the coffin, born humble, interred in this wilderness – it was his resting place.

Coming out of the recess, Xu Yan noticed some drawings and lines of text on the top of the outside tomb chamber.

“What’s this?”

The painting on top of the tomb chamber was of a large mountain adorned with pavilions, towers, lakes, and waterside pavilions—quite the picturesque view.

A woman was standing in the middle of the waterside pavilion, appearing to reminisce about something.

Next to the mountain, three characters were etched: Taimiao Sect!

After Yuying took out her jade plaque, she indeed saw the words ‘Taimiao carved on it.

“Taimiao Yu Ling?”

It slipped out of her mouth.

“The bounds of the Ling Domain, the three realms of the Heavenly Man?”

A look of ecstasy crossed Xu Yan’s face.

Next to the frescoes, lines of text introduced the concept of Martial Arts Heavenly Man.

“The Heavenly Man is divided into three realms, each realm being a heaven in its own right; First: the gathering of divine, Second: the oneness of divine, Third: the refining of divine… The First is generically known as the Lesser Heavenly Man; The Second is initially deemed the Greater Heavenly Man; The Third is popularly referred to as the Refining God Heavenly Man…

“The gathering of divine entails perceiving one’s divine essence and focusing it in unity; the oneness of divine involves merging the divine with one’s soul, to form a symbiotic relation; the Refining of divine is essentially refining one’s divine soul…

“As long as the Divine Soul survives, it can find refuge in another body…” The lines of text on the stone wall did not pass down any Cultivation Technique but merely reintroduced the concept of Martial Arts Heavenly Man.

The Martial Arts Heavenly Man is divided into three realms, commonly referred to as the Lesser Heavenly Man, the Greater Heavenly Man, and the Refining God Heavenly Man. The Refining God Heavenly Man is the cultivation of the Divine Soul. As long as the Divine Soul survives, it can live on inside another body.

Upon reading this, a thought sprang to Xu Yan’s mind. He remembered Meng Chong’s predicament and the encounter with Senior Wu!

His master once mentioned something about body snatching!

Given everything he had learned, it could indeed be the case that Refining God Heavenly Man resided in another body?

“The Blood Demon! That is to say, the Demon Master!”

At that moment, Xu Yan felt a jolt of shock. Initially, the Blood Demon hadn’t been entirely eradicated, but a part of his Divine Soul managed to escape. For reasons unknown, it ultimately chose to reside in Senior Wu’s body.

Furthermore, his Divine Soul was incredibly weak. When Meng Chong drew his sword, and his Sword Soul awakened, comprehending the Sword Intent, it completely obliterated the remaining soul of the Blood Demon!

In the final painting of the recess, the Blood Demon was slain in the Endless Mountain, and later, when Senior Wu ventured into the Endless Mountain, that led to the subsequent alteration in Wu Country.

Xu Yan believed that his speculation should be the truth.

Continuing to read the introduction about the Three Realms of Heavenly Man, he realized that even though no Cultivation Techniques were transmitted, just the introduction of the Three Realms of Heavenly Man had its value.

“The first realm of Heavenly Man is to sense one’s divine essence and concentrate on gathering it… The realm of Divine Intent, conceptually, is on par with the first realm of Heavenly Man. However, the realm of Divine Intent involves cultivation of Martial Arts Divine Intent- transforming the intent of heaven and earth into one’s Divine Intent…”

Xu Yan muttered to himself internally.

In the first realm of Heavenly Man, one needs to sense their divine essence and concentrate on gathering it. The strength of your divine essence determines the strength of the first Heavenly Man realm. The realm of Divine Intent involves cultivation of Martial Arts Divine Intent- transforming the Intent of Heaven and Earth; My Intent is Heaven’s Intent, my Form is Heaven’s Form…

The realm of Divine Intent outstrips the first realm of Heavenly Man by a large margin.

“The strength of the first realm of Heavenly Man, my Sword Intent alone, could resist. Its divine essence is after all limited. However, Martial Arts Divine Intent gathers the Intent of Heaven and Earth; wherever the Divine Intent reaches, it becomes the Will of Heaven. This is not something that the first realm of Heavenly Man could compare to.”

A sense of enlightenment dawned on Xu Yan. The Three Realms of Heavenly Man, the truly powerful one, is the third realm of the Refining God Heavenly Man.

The First and Second Realm are merely the foundational cultivation of the Heavenly Man realm. Only the Refining God Heavenly Man could truly claim the title of Heavenly Man!
