Chapter 19

The Blood Origin Realm is filled with all sorts of strange beasts and immortal birds, as well as countless treasures, but it is equally dangerous. Even experts at the Innate Realm have records of perishing within it.

Every time it opens, the One Origin Sect and the Zhang family each send their experts, and there has never been a precedent of sending disciples. Firstly, the interval is too long, a full ten years. Secondly, the disciples' strength is relatively weak, making it unsafe.

"It is indeed the Blood Origin Realm!" Ye Kongming said with a frown. "This year is when the Blood Origin Realm opens, and also when the Blood Origin Fruit ripens. The Zhang family has proposed that core disciples compete within it, with the top three winners receiving a Blood Origin Fruit!"

The Blood Origin Fruit is a spiritual fruit unique to the Blood Origin Realm, growing on a Blood Origin Tree deep within. The name Blood Origin Realm comes from this spiritual fruit.

Even if someone at the Innate Realm eats this spiritual fruit, their cultivation realm can be elevated by one level. Of course, this fruit is extremely rare, maturing only once every hundred years. This means that out of ten openings of the Blood Origin Realm, only one will have the fruit, and there are only nine fruits.

"The side with the highest total points at the end will receive four out of the remaining six Blood Origin Fruits, while the losing side will only get two!" Ye Kongming said.

This is nothing new; it has always been like this. The winning side gets one more fruit, and the losing side gets one less.

"I've heard that the Zhang family has three geniuses who are very powerful, all of whom have reached the Ninth Level of the Acquired Realm at a young age!" Xia Chunxue suddenly mentioned.

"Indeed, the Zhang family clearly wants to monopolize the top three!" Ye Kongming sneered. "But they can forget it. Right now, Feng'er is in seclusion, and when he emerges, he will break through to the Ninth Level of the Acquired Realm. This Blood Origin Fruit is worth fighting for, and it's still uncertain who will come out on top!"

Ye Xiwén thought to himself that the Zhang family's intentions were not good, but it was clear that the One Origin Sect's higher-ups had their own countermeasures, so he didn't need to worry too much.

"As for the Blood Origin Fruit, I'm not too concerned, but the Blood Origin Realm is very dangerous. What if they encounter the Ancestor Demon within!" Xia Chunxue said with a worried look. "Perhaps it's better if Feng'er and Xue'er don't participate this time. After all, Feng'er is already at the peak of the Eighth Level of the Acquired Realm, just one step away from the Ninth Level. When he joins the main sect, it will be even better, won't it?"

"Feng'er is one of the best core disciples of our One Origin Sect. How can he not go? The Ancestor Demon has already been injured by our combined efforts. As long as we are careful, it shouldn't be a problem!" Ye Kongming said firmly. "Wen'er, go back and rest, and adjust your state to the best for the internal sect competition!"

"Yes, Father!" Ye Xiwén replied.

Ye Xiwén returned to his small courtyard and took out the *Heavenly Immortal Step* he had obtained from Ma Yan. Ma Yan had used this secret manual to extort many people.

Only after reading the *Heavenly Immortal Step* did Ye Xiwén realize that it was a cultivation technique at the Innate level, but it was already half-complete. Although it couldn't be cultivated to the highest level, its power was no less than that of a general high-level technique. For Ye Xiwén, it was like a timely rain after a long drought. He had always lacked a movement technique, and although both the Thunderhand and the Cold Moon Slash had movement techniques attached, they were clearly inferior to a specialized movement technique.

Ye Xiwén thought that after the competition, he would go to the library to exchange for another movement technique, but now he didn't need to bother.

Although the *Heavenly Immortal Step* was incomplete, it was more than enough for the current Ye Xiwén. If there was an opportunity in the future, he would certainly complete the *Heavenly Immortal Step*.

According to the description, the *Heavenly Immortal Step* excels in short-range movement, making it very effective in small spaces.

Ye Xiwén temporarily put aside the idea of cultivating the *Crescent Moon Slash*. His *New Moon Slash* was already sufficient to handle the internal sect competition. Among the inner sect disciples, only a few could master a basic technique to perfection, let alone an intermediate technique.

Now, it was crucial to cultivate the *Heavenly Immortal Step*.

Ye Xiwén's mind entered the special space and began cultivating according to the *Heavenly Immortal Step*.

A large number of spirit stones began to burn, infusing Ye Xiwén's body. His understanding of the *Heavenly Immortal Step* steadily improved.

Ye Xiwén's movements in the special space, initially somewhat clumsy, quickly became more proficient.

Time passed, and two days went by in a flash.

In Ye Xiwén's small courtyard, Ye Xiwén, with his hands behind his back, took a step and moved several paces, appearing at a distant corner of the wall.

A smile appeared on Ye Xiwén's face. In just two days, he had cultivated the *Heavenly Immortal Step* to the initial stage. Generally, martial techniques are divided into four stages: initial understanding, mastery, initial perfection, and great perfection. Although there are only four stages, the gap between each is significant. It takes a long time to reach the initial perfection stage, especially for high-level techniques. However, Ye Xiwén was different. With the help of the special space, one day of his cultivation was equivalent to a hundred or more days for others. Of course, the cost was the massive consumption of spirit stones. In just two days, to bring the *Heavenly Immortal Step* to the initial perfection stage, he had already used up 1,500 lower-grade spirit stones out of the 2,000 he had, leaving only 500, which was not enough to bring the *Heavenly Immortal Step* to the great perfection stage.

At least another 1,000 lower-grade spirit stones were needed.

However, Ye Xiwén didn't have time to continue cultivating the *Heavenly Immortal Step* because the internal sect competition had finally begun.

Sunlight broke through the clouds and shone upon the earth, welcoming a new day on Green Peak Mountain. The entire mountain was filled with a festive atmosphere.

Among the more than ten thousand people of the One Origin Sect, only a little over a thousand participated in this internal sect competition. Not everyone would join; those with insufficient strength would only waste their time. Only those who aimed to achieve a certain ranking or test their own level would sign up.

The competition was not mandatory; anyone could choose to participate.

Among the outer sect disciples, over 800 signed up, while only 400 inner sect disciples did, more than in previous years. The competition was particularly intense, and the reason was simple: in the past, only the top fifty received rewards, but now the top hundred received generous rewards, attracting more inner and outer sect disciples to participate.
