In a deep corner of the cave, a thin layer of light enveloped Jiang Chen, who slowly awoke. Immediately, the cycle wristwatch provided him with a large amount of relevant information, just as before, from a god's perspective, following the life experiences of the two sons of destiny, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, and gradually revealing the plot of the cycle:

Fourteen years ago, the son of destiny, Bu Jingyun, was born; in the same year, the brothers Mu Yingxiong and Mu Yingming fought the Sword Saint at the Sword Tomb and obtained two Hero Swords; Mu Yingming was severely injured by the Sword Saint, losing all his martial arts skills; Mu Yingxiong took Mu Yingming and Xiao Yu away from the Mu family; Mu Yingming changed his name to Wu Ming and severed ties with the Mu family, which had betrayed the country, and joined the Sword Sect to practice in the Ten Thousand Sword Cycle.

Ten years ago, the son of destiny, Nie Feng, was born; in the same year, Wu Ming broke through the Ten Thousand Sword Cycle, successively defeating the Sword Saint Dugu Jian and the owner of the other Hero Sword, Mu Yingxiong, and single-handedly withstood an army of 50,000 soldiers to save the Mu family.

Nine years ago, Wu Ming was ambushed by the "Heavenly Blood" of the Ten Great Sects; Feng Wu carefully cared for the disheartened Wu Ming, who then severely injured the Ten Great Sects, leading to the decline of many sects, including Shaolin and Wudang, which announced the closure of their mountain gates and no longer involved themselves in the affairs of the world. Wu Ming, due to the death of his wife Xiao Yu, disappeared from the world.

Eight years ago, the great hero Xiong Ba left the Three Absolute Sect, entered the world, and founded the World Union, taking Qin Shuang as his disciple, thus beginning his path to dominate the world.

Four years ago, Nie Renwang, the Northern Drinker, suddenly reappeared with his son Nie Feng, challenging various martial arts experts, causing a stir in the world of martial arts.

One year ago, Xiong Ba expanded the World Union and received a prophecy from the mud Buddha: "**************, when encountering the storm and clouds, it turns into a dragon." Since then, Xiong Ba had the upper hand, fearlessly destroying three major sects and the Huo Family Manor, and obtaining Bu Jingyun.

In the same year, Jue Wushen led a powerful army to invade Central China but was unexpectedly intercepted by the mysterious Wu Ming at Shanhaiguan, who defeated Jue Wushen and forced him to retreat to the Jue Palace in Japan.

One year later, Nie Renwang, the Northern Drinker, and Duan Shuai, the Southern Sword Chief, were to duel atop the Leshan Giant Buddha. During the battle, the river swelled, flooding the Buddha's knees, and the Fire Kirin, a mythical beast, emerged from the Lingyun Cave, attacking the two experts, causing them to mysteriously disappear.

At the same time, Nie Feng, the son of Nie Renwang, and Duan Shuai's son entered the World Union, where Xiong Ba took Nie Feng as his disciple, alongside Qin Shuang and Bu Jingyun, teaching them the Three Absolute Skills: the Heaven Frost Fist, the Cloud-Pushing Palm, and the Wind God Leg. Thus, with the power of the storm and clouds, the World Union began to flourish and grow.

Ten years later, the World Union, with the momentum of the storm and clouds, would become the first major sect in the world, dominating China. After destroying the Wushuang City, Xiong Ba would send the grown-up Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun to seek the mud Buddha to determine his future, officially starting the great calamity of China, with villains like Jue Wushen and Diksha Tian successively appearing, pushing Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun onto their grand and tumultuous destinies.

Looking at the entire world of Storm and Clouds, the martial arts are far more powerful than in the three previous cycle worlds Jiang Chen experienced. This is a true high-martial world where martial artists can split mountains and rivers, achieve immortality, and possess numerous divine skills and weapons. Even mythical creatures like dragons, phoenixes, fire kirins, and dragon turtles frequently appear. The Lingyun Cave where he is now is the habitat of the fire kirin.

The four mythical creatures in this cycle world—dragon turtle, dragon, phoenix, and fire kirin—each possess terrifying power beyond human imagination. Their power, except for the dragon, which is concentrated in the dragon yuan, is concentrated in their blood for the dragon turtle, phoenix, and fire kirin.

The legendary martial arts expert Xiao Sanxiao obtained the blood of the dragon turtle, gaining the secret of immortality and achieving supreme divine skills, and has been known as one of the Twelve Horrors for countless years, being the most terrifying and unseen existence in the world of Storm and Clouds.

Diksha Tian, the master of the Heavenly Gate, once the alchemist Xu Fu of the First Emperor of Qin, obtained the blood of the phoenix, refining the elixir of immortality, and has now cultivated a supreme divine skill, almost on par with Xiao Sanxiao.

The dragon is hidden on the Dragon Island overseas and only appears during the Awakening of Insects every thousand years, being the most mysterious and unpredictable.

Duan Zhengxian, the ancestor of the Duan family, obtained a scale of the fire kirin and made the Fire麟Sword, known as the Evil God Sword, which is feared in the world; the Nie family ancestor mistakenly swallowed the kirin blood, and the Nie family descendants inherited the mad blood, which grants terrifying power when they go mad; Yu Yue's left arm was splashed with kirin blood, forming the Kirin Arm, which, though uncontrollable, is incredibly powerful!

Regardless of the other three mythical creatures, the blood of the fire kirin, though containing boundless power, has a significant flaw: its demonic nature is too strong. The Fire麟Sword can drive one to madness, the mad blood can make one go insane, and the Kirin Arm is uncontrollable.

To resolve this flaw, one must mention the Blood Bodhi, a rare treasure that grows in the Lingyun Cave.

According to ancient legends, this fruit is formed from the blood of the fire kirin, resistant to high temperatures, and the Blood Bodhi is a bright red, resembling fresh blood, a holy fruit for healing and enhancing one's strength. It is a treasure that all martial artists dream of, capable of extending life and being a rare spiritual object in the world.

In fact, the Blood Bodhi is even more miraculous than the legends suggest. Its greatest function is not to heal severe injuries, enhance strength, or extend life, but to neutralize the demonic nature of the kirin blood, allowing one to fully assimilate and control the powerful strength of the fire kirin.

However, the Blood Bodhi, being a rare treasure, is not easily obtained. The Lingyun Cave has a winding and complex path, stretching for thousands of miles, making it extremely difficult to find the place where the Blood Bodhi grows. Moreover, the cave is home to the fire kirin, a mythical beast. Even though the fire kirin is the weakest of the four mythical creatures due to some reason, it is still not easily defeated.

"South Mountain's Fire麟Blaze, North Sea's Snow Drink Chill!"

These two phrases refer to the Fire麟Sword and the Snow Drink Saber, as well as their owners, Duan Shuai, the Southern Sword Chief, and Nie Renwang, the Northern Drinker. They are the most famous and powerful martial arts experts in the world after the Sword Saint and Wu Ming, not only for their high martial arts skills but also for the assistance of their divine weapons, making them formidable.

Over the years, countless martial arts experts have died at the hands of the fire kirin, including these two top experts. Without any unexpected events, one year later, they would both disappear into the Lingyun Cave after being attacked by the fire kirin during their duel atop the Leshan Giant Buddha.

This clearly shows the ferocity and terror of the fire kirin.

The Lingyun Cave, although later in the cycle world of Storm and Clouds, is almost treated like a tavern or inn, with people coming and going freely. In the early stages, it is undoubtedly a forbidden and terrifying place.

Therefore, even though the Blood Bodhi is a rare treasure, few people dare to enter the Lingyun Cave to search for it, as valuable as the treasure may be, it is not as important as one's life.

The difficulty of obtaining the Blood Bodhi, in turn, increases its value, making this rare treasure even more prestigious.

Of course, this is only for ordinary people. After all, everything has its relativity. For Jiang Chen, a cycle participant who has crossed over, the Blood Bodhi is not a difficult treasure to obtain. Right before his eyes, on the mountain wall, a lush vine clung to the red-brown rock, extending for hundreds of feet, with emerald leaves and countless sparkling blood-red fruits, the very treasure that all martial artists dream of:

The Blood Bodhi!
