On the edge of Hailing County, there is an abandoned temple that has been in disrepair for a long time.

There used to be a lush forest behind the temple, but recently the greenery suddenly disappeared and turned into a flat land.

Although this change is extremely frightening, fortunately this place is remote.
It is still a hundred miles away from the county town, so it has not attracted the attention of the world.

Under this deserted temple was a cellar where the monks prepared for the winter and stored the fruits, vegetables and rice they needed for the winter.

At that time, the temple was prosperous and large in scale.
The materials that need to be stored are naturally huge, so the cellar is also large and wide.

However, things are unpredictable. As the temple gradually fell into disrepair due to wars and the erosion of time, the incense was no longer popular.
This once majestic temple fell into ruins and the cellar was abandoned.

In the past, merchants in a hurry who had traveled a long distance would occasionally choose to rest temporarily in this deserted temple.

However, since the relationship between Qi and Chu became increasingly tense, Hailing County on the border has become a place of turmoil.

For safety reasons, most merchants chose to take a detour, making this deserted temple even more desolate and sparsely populated.

Now, the temple is cleaned spotlessly. Although traces of time can still be seen, there is not much dust.

Inside this cellar, what was stored was not food for the winter, but a pool of blood.

To call it a blood pool, perhaps even the word "blood pool" is a bit exaggerated.

To be more precise, what it shows on the ground at this moment is just a tiny depression the size of an adult's palm and dark red in color.

Two figures were currently sitting cross-legged, surrounding this tiny pool of blood.

Chu Junyin closed his eyes and concentrated, his thoughts were like a thread.

As the blood veins under the blood pool quietly spread to the surroundings, its coverage area was already ten miles around.

As the blood vessels extended, they devoured all the life forces that could be sensed.

Wherever the blood vessels go, all vitality is lost.

Under the blessing of the thoughts of Chu Junyin, a sage who is close to being a god, almost no life around can escape the influence wherever the blood vessels reach.

No matter if it is a wild animal or a plant, as long as it is touched by the blood, its vitality will be gently pinched by an invisible hand.
It turned into nothingness in an instant and was greedily devoured by the blood.

Following Chu Junyin's guidance, the originally tiny blood pool began to expand outward at an almost bizarre speed.

Every swallowing causes the border of the blood pool to quietly extend.

In just a few incense sticks, the blood pool had expanded from the original palm size to a circle with a radius of three feet.

Although the blood pool at this moment is still not as magnificent as rivers, lakes and seas, the enormous vitality contained in it is far beyond that of ordinary Venerables.

And this blood pool doesn't look very big, but you know,
Every drop of blood in this blood pool is not ordinary. They are the purest essence of life between heaven and earth.
It is a treasure that can directly reshape the body for a venerable like Chu Junyin.

At this moment, Chu Junyin's eyes were shining with unprecedented brightness, like two shining stars.

The smell of blood was no longer emanating from his body.

It is a fresh and elegant fragrance, like a combination of lotus and orchid, which contains vitality.

"Success!"

Although this blood pool still looks small at the moment, the blood accumulated in it is enough for Chu Junyin to be fully resurrected.

Chu Junyin exhaled deeply, as if he was expelling thousands of years of depression and anguish along with this breath.

From then on, he no longer had to fear the threats from the powerful gods in the Tianhai Holy Land, because he already had enough strength to protect himself.

Looking back on the past thousand years, due to the scarcity of resources and the seizure of the spiritual mines of the Chu State, the spiritual power of the entire Chu State became increasingly barren.
Even a venerable like him had to be extremely cautious and not dare to practice recklessly for fear of exhausting the thin spiritual energy.

Tong Shucheng's chubby face was now filled with a brilliant red glow: "Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!"

"The blood pool is now formed. From now on, Master can fly as high as the sky and fish as wide as the sea. No one can restrain Master's wings anymore!"

Chu Junyin shook his head gently: "This is just the beginning."

He looked inside himself and saw that the blood seed that was once tightly attached to his heart had now disappeared.

But somehow, he had developed an inexplicable connection with this blood pool.

As long as this body dies, he can be reborn from the blood pool at any time.

"As for building a blood river, it is a long journey and cannot be accomplished overnight."

Tong Shucheng asked, "Then Master... when do you think I can cultivate the blood pool?"

"You?..." Chu Junyin turned his gaze to Tong Shucheng, feeling somewhat helpless.

Compared with his own, Tong Shucheng's talent is far inferior.

If it weren't for the amazing compatibility between Tong Shucheng's physique and blood species,

I'm afraid that with his own talent alone, he will never be able to condense a blood species and embark on this path.

"You still have a long way to go, but remember, talent is not everything. Hard work can make up for shortcomings, and perseverance can make up for shortcomings."

After thinking for a while, Chu Junyin didn't want to discourage his disciple, so he could only encourage him with chicken soup.
After all, he got this immortal technique from Tong Shucheng.

Suddenly, Chu Junyin moved, stood up, and said with a sharp gaze: "Get ready to receive the guests."

"Master?..." Tong Shucheng was puzzled when he heard this: "Does anyone else know that we are here?"

Chu Junyin didn't say much, just gently dusted off his body and prepared to leave the cellar.

"The God Realm of Qi...is here."

"Ah?" Uncle Tong's heart suddenly tightened when he heard this.

He didn't expect that this day would come so quickly and so suddenly.

After all, Chu Junyin has been a major threat to Qi for too long.

He now appears to want to ascend to the divine realm.

How could the State of Qi sit idly by and allow this potential threat to grow?

At this moment, a deafening shout suddenly rang in Tong Shucheng's ears, like thunder exploding over the ruined temple:
"Chu Junyin, get out now!"

Then, an extremely arrogant voice resounded through the sky: "Today, the one who killed you, Chu Junyin, is me, Long San!"

Along with this roar, the entire ruined temple seemed to be swept away by an invisible force.

He was blown up in an instant and turned into debris all over the sky. Amid the explosion of the air wave, Tong Shucheng felt a powerful pressure coming at him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He quickly shrank his head, a strong sense of fear and helplessness surged in his heart. This cellar was heavily restricted by Chu Junyin, and now it was the only safe place for him.

Uncle Tong Cheng pressed against the wall of the cellar, listening to the roars coming from outside.

In the outer sky, an incomparably huge magic mace cut through the sky.

The force was so fierce that it tore the space apart, revealing the deep and endless void.

At the same time, two huge figures slowly approached from the distant horizon.
They seemed to have come from ancient times, with a powerful aura all around them, like two towering mountains.
As they continued to move forward, they seemed to gradually merge into one person, displaying an indescribable weirdness and power.

"Long San?"

Chu Junyin looked at the two figures gradually approaching and could not help but narrow his eyes, with waves surging in his heart.

In the entire Tianhai Holy Land, if we were to ask which elder is the most feared,

Then, Elder Long San of the Law Enforcement Hall is undoubtedly a name that cannot be avoided.

He was like a dark cloud hanging over the holy land, making everyone feel cold when they mentioned him.

The cultivation of the Long San Sect Elder is an extremely rare divine body.

This divine body split his soul and body into two independent individuals.

These two individuals each have independent thoughts and wills, and can be said to be two completely different lives.

Yet they were able to blend the two perfectly.

After the fusion, the strength displayed by Elder Long San was enough to crush the average god.

Because of this, Elder Long San has always been a controversial figure in the Tianhai Holy Land.

His moods were erratic and unpredictable. Many of his disciples lived under his shadow.
He lived in fear every day, fearing that one day he would be killed tragically by the ruthless iron mace of the Third Sect Master Long just because of his momentary displeasure.

Even the Holy Lord, who held an extremely high status in the Tianhai Holy Land, had to put aside his usual majesty and show due respect and awe to Elder Long San when facing him.

The status of the Third Elder Long in the Tianhai Holy Land is already transcendent, and no one dares to provoke him easily.

However, the relationship between Long San and Qi State has always been quite delicate, with constant friction between the two.

Chu Junyin really didn't expect that Qi would go to any lengths to establish a relationship with the elusive Long Sanzong elder.

At this moment, above the sky, the figure of Elder Long San stood like an iron tower, emitting a heart-pounding aura from his entire body.

He held an iron mace in each hand. These two iron maces were treasures that had been passed down in the Tianhai Holy Land for countless years.
Each of them weighs hundreds of millions of pounds, and is engraved with the laws of the Dao.

Even if it is placed lightly on the ground, it can easily sink the earth and even crush the void.

One of the Dragon Threes spoke slowly, his voice carrying unquestionable majesty: "Chu Junyin, considering that you were a disciple of my Tianhai Holy Land in the past, this elder can show some leniency and let you go."

His tone seemed to contain a certain irresistible toughness.
"As long as you are willing to kneel on the ground now, beg for mercy from me, and give up your foundation, and promise to stay in this venerable realm forever and ever, and never set foot in the divine realm again, this elder will consider letting bygones be bygones."

Facing the "gift" proposed by Elder Long San, Chu Junyin just shook his head slightly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face:

"Long San, you think too highly of yourself."

"You want me to submit to you and destroy my foundation. That's simply wishful thinking."

"Overestimation?" Long San raised a playful smile, as if he was mocking Chu Junyin's ignorance and arrogance.

Before he finished speaking, the aura around him suddenly changed, and his two bodies instantly merged into one, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.

In an instant, the murderous intent in his body surged like a tidal wave, and the chaotic will was like a violent storm, sweeping in all directions.

If an ordinary cultivator were here, he would probably be invaded by this murderous intent in an instant, lose his sanity, and turn into a monster that only knew how to kill.

Facing Long San's murderous intent that was enough to shock the heroes,
Chu Junyin seemed unusually calm. He did not move, but a powerful vitality suddenly emerged behind him, as if spring had returned to the earth and all things had revived.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely huge white tiger shadow condensed from behind him.

"Fairy?" Seeing this, Long San's eyes flashed with surprise, but then he returned to his indifference and disdain.

“Humph, even if your master has cultivated for thirty thousand years to become an immortal, in front of me, Long San, his fate is to be shattered by a whip.”

"Besides, what kind of waves can a rookie like you make?"

However, before Long San finished his words, the vitality in Chu Junyin's body seemed endless and continuously poured into the white tiger's phantom.

This vitality was like a rolling torrent, carrying with it a vast and mighty aura, making the White Tiger's aura even more powerful, as if it could communicate between heaven and earth and stir up the wind and clouds.

"Hmm?" Long San raised his eyebrows, and finally revealed a trace of solemnity in his eyes, "I didn't expect that on this path, you have surpassed your master."

"Then let me take a good look at what you, the former number one genius of Tianhai Holy Land, can actually achieve!"

As the vitality in Chu Junyin's body continued to flow, the white tiger's body became larger and larger.
It was like a prehistoric alien species from ancient times, emitting a terrifying aura.

Chu Junyin's eyes widened, blood and energy surged in his body, and he growled, "The Immortal's true form!"

Suddenly, the white tiger behind him shone as brightly as the sun,

The word "King" on the forehead seemed to be given life, shining with golden light, like the imprint of some law.

At this moment, the White Tiger's aura has surpassed that of ordinary immortals and reached an awe-inspiring height.

Chu Junyin even pushed the magical power of paper-cutting shadow painting to a height that even the creator had never reached.

Long San's eyes revealed a trace of astonishment that was difficult to conceal. He murmured to himself: "Although you are not in the divine realm, you have the ability to match the divine realm."

"As expected, you are a genius that even the old ghost Emperor Qi is afraid of. He asked me to kill you, so it can be considered a worthy death."

Facing Long San's words, Chu Junyin just smiled coldly: "Matching the Divine Realm?"

Seeing this, Long San couldn't help but think in his heart: "We can't let him accumulate power anymore."

He knew very well that once Chu Junyin fully released this power, he would not be able to relax so easily.

He suddenly stood up, like a flash of lightning that cut through the sky, accompanied by a crisp crack of a whip.

The void was torn apart, and a terrifying attack whizzed towards Chu Junyin.

However, he did not expect that at this critical moment, a blood-red shadow suddenly jumped out from the void, so fast that even Long San could not detect it.

"No! I fell into a trap!"

Long San was shocked, and then he realized that Chu Junyin's continuous accumulation of strength was just a deliberate way to divert his attention.

And this sudden blood-red shadow is Chu Junyin's real killer move! (End of this chapter)
