Yuan's Ascension

Chapter 478: Yin He's Gift (2)

“That only applies to ordinary geniuses," Astral Lord Yin He said softly.

"When it comes to top-tier geniuses, the devil hall headquarters always intervenes directly."

"Wu Yuan was granted the title of Bloodforge King directly by the Bloodforge Spacetime. Even though he is just a Golden Core Bloodforge King, the implications are immense," Astral Lord Yin He explained.

High Immortal Wu Tian was stunned. As a High Immortal, his perspective was limited as many confidential secrets were beyond his access.

"Astral Lord, what are your plans?" High Immortal Wu Tian asked respectfully.

"If we still had hundreds of years, we could slowly nurture Wu Yuan and strengthen his sense of belonging to our Redmoon Division," Astral Lord Yin He said softly.

"In this way, even if Wu Yuan is transferred to the headquarters of the devil hall in the future, it will be greatly beneficial for us. Right now, we will not stand to gain much."

High Immortal Wu Tian nodded slightly.

If Wu Yuan was transferred to the headquarters centuries from now, merely the merits of training him in the Redmoon Division would grant them considerable rewards from the headquarters.

The immortal cultivators from major divisions, especially high-level immortal cultivators like them, required precious resources for cultivation, all of which were bestowed by the devil hall headquarters.

The Bloodforge Devil Hall comprised over four million second-tier divisions. If the Redmoon Division didn’t manage to produce sufficient geniuses or failed to accumulate enough merits, the headquarters would not bother supporting them, let alone bestow rewards.

This was why High Immortal Wu Tian valued Wu Yuan so highly.

However, if Wu Yuan was recruited by the devil hall headquarters immediately, the headquarters would certainly conduct a review. Given the short time the Redmoon Division spent training Wu Yuan, they would hardly earn any merits.

"In the future, Wu Yuan’s accomplishments might be enormous." Astral Lord Yin He said softly. "So, even if he leaves for a distant land, we must maintain a good relationship."

"The fact that his homeland world has always been under our Redmoon Devil Hall is a huge advantage."

"I understand." High Immortal Wu Tian nodded repeatedly.

He understood that peerless geniuses like Wu Yuan that only appeared once every tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years in the Silvermist Division would easily make it to the High Immortal phase as long as they didn’t die young. In time, they were almost certain to become Archimmortals.

Indeed, the Immortal Tribulations were challenging and varied from person to person. The stronger one was, the more difficult the Immortal Tribulations.

But it also depended on the individual. For a genius like Wu Yuan, once he reached that step, the probability of him overcoming the Immortal Tribulations was extremely high.

He even had hope of becoming an Astral Lord in the future, provided he doesn't fall on the path of cultivation. Historically, most geniuses did not make it to the end of their cultivation journey.

Although Archimmortals had long lifespans, they also faced numerous tribulations, making it hard to achieve true eternal life. Only Astral Lords truly managed to accomplish it.

Astral Lord Yin He was the only Astral Lord within the Redmoon Devil Hall.

"First, prepare a gift. As soon as Wu Yuan returns, present it to him," Astral Lord Yin He commanded. "It will serve as a congratulatory gift from our Redmoon Division."

High Immortal Wu Tian listened intently.

"Second, appoint Wu Yuan as the World Master of the Summerpeak World," he continued. "He shall govern the Summerpeak World."

High Immortal Wu Tian nodded in agreement; this was a promise they had made long ago. Moreover, they were simply bestowing the title of World Master for a worldlet, not separating the worldlet from the devil hall. Thus, they were not breaking any rules.

"Thirdly, I've reviewed Wu Yuan's files in detail," Astral Lord Yin He continued, "Wu Yuan is someone who deeply cherishes his family. He is young and still has mortal family members.

“Send a Millennium Lifespan Fruit to his mother," Astral Lord Yin He spoke slowly, "and invest in nurturing his sister. Our aim is to guide his sister toward the Amethyst Cradle phase in the future."

High Immortal Wu Tian was astounded by the plan.

He was well aware of Wu Yuan's situation. In this past year, the Redmoon Devil Hall had covertly amassed detailed intelligence on the Summerpeak World.

In the mortal realm, a lifespan of two hundred years is the limit. However, the Millennium Lifespan Fruit could transform a mortal's body, granting them a lifespan of a thousand years. It was an inconceivably precious item.

This precious item had many uses, and even High Immortals would be reluctant to use it merely to extend a mortal's lifespan.

As for nurturing Wu Yuan's sister to the Amethyst Cradle phase? The costs were relatively smaller.

Those who could become immortal cultivators through their own efforts had a certain level of talent. As long as they helped her progress step by step and invested some resources in her growth, nurturing her to the Amethyst Cradle phase wasn’t too difficult.

At least, with the abundant resources of the Redmoon Devil Hall, it could be done without much effort.

"I shall take care of these matters immediately," High Immortal Wu Tian acknowledged.

"Good, you may proceed!"

High Immortal Wu Tian hastily withdrew, leaving only Astral Lord Yin He standing in the majestic temple. His gaze was distant, as if in deep thought.

Over hundreds of millions of years, this is the seventy-second one I've helped. Wu Yuan, you have the greatest talent among them, don't let me down.

Astral Lord Yin He enjoyed supporting the younger generation. Of course, only those with immense talent, the sort that stood a chance of becoming an Archimmortal, could catch his eye.

As for ordinary High Immortals like High Immortal Wu Tian? If not for Wu Yuan, Astral Lord Yin He wouldn't even bother to meet him.

...

After the top participants from the Golden Core Bloodforge Battle entered the mysterious Bloodforge Spacetime, no one received any updates about their situation.

But with a number of participants returning alive from the battlefield, along with the circulation of the Blood Devil Token rankings and the matter of Wu Yuan being directly bestowed the title of the Bloodforge King, this Golden Core Bloodforge Battle became known to all as a special one unlike the others.

It was destined to be mentioned by all beings within the spacetime boundary of the Silvermist Immortal Nation for millions, or tens of millions of years.

Wu Yuan's fame skyrocketed, truly echoing throughout the entire Silvermist Immortal Nation. His fame was so great, it soon caught up to the likes of Zhuo Haiyue and Li Xia who came before him. In the hearts of countless participants, Wu Yuan's talent was implicitly even greater than Zhuo Haiyue or Li Xia’s.

"Zhuo Haiyue? When she participated in the Golden Core Bloodforge Battle, was she as dazzling as Wu Yuan?"

"Li Xia? He's slightly older than Wu Yuan, if he participated, could he be stronger than Wu Yuan?" Within the Silvermist Immortal Nation, countless powerhouses discussed.

And soon, as Wu Yuan's fame grew, people were shocked to discover that he was actually from the Redmoon Division of the Bloodforge Devil Hall.

Even though they belonged to two different factions, they were all located within the same immortal continent.

"The Redmoon Immortal Continent has produced three peerless geniuses in the same era? Each one of them could shake the entire immortal nation."

"Incredible."

Therefore, the Redmoon Immortal Continent was in the spotlight for a while. After all, it was difficult to produce a single peerless genius of such caliber. Three at the same time? The odds were too low.

"Li Xia and Wu Yuan are somewhat similar, their ages are close, and they both have grasped the Celestial Body Dao."

"Li Xia has also comprehended the Longevity Dao."

"Wu Yuan obviously has much greater aptitude for the Celestial Body Dao."

"There are a limited number of Intermediate Laws. Although the paths are somewhat similar, it's not strange." This doubt was quickly drowned in the sea of debates.

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Xia from the Dragon Star Immortal Sect had trained in the sect for decades, rising to prominence step by step.

Comparing him to Wu Yuan from the Bloodforge Devil Hall? From the information gathered, there was no link between the two.

...

Dragon Star Immortal Sect, Dragon Star, High Immortal Nan Yin’s Residence.

"Master." Wu Yuan's qi refiner bowed respectfully.

"You've heard all the discussions these days, haven't you?" High Immortal Nan Yin chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"Mm. Master, you have prepared for this well in advance." Wu Yuan's qi refiner self paid attention to the news in the Redmoon Immortal Voidrealm, and naturally noticed this.

"Your performance this time was truly terrifying. A directly conferred Bloodforge King is something we haven't seen in a long time," High Immortal Nan Yin remarked pensively.

Wu Yuan wore a look of helplessness. In truth, he was also rather bewildered.

"How is your body refiner self faring in the Bloodforge Spacetime?" High Immortal Nan Yin inquired, "What opportunity did you obtain?"

"Master, it's not that I don't want to tell you about it. But I have yet to seize any opportunity, and there are also some things I can't say." Wu Yuan replied with a bitter smile.

"I want to speak about them, but I cannot," Wu Yuan shook his head, "It's as if there's an invisible force restricting me, making it impossible for me to relay the information."

"I understand now," High Immortal Nan Yin nodded, "Just like the legends say, this so-called Bloodforge Spacetime is a place that must not be spoken of."

A place that must not be spoken of? Wu Yuan was taken aback.

"Since this is the case, I won't pry further," High Immortal Nan Yin said softly, "Seize the best opportunity you can."

"Such opportunities don't come by often."
