Chapter 0002: The World of Masters

In the twenty-first century, there have already been many time-travel films and television shows, and modern individuals have been exposed to a great deal of such information, which instantly led Yang to consider this possibility

Yang Yi suddenly discovered a colorful token embedded with a dragon on the body of the Han soldier. On it, a majestic divine dragon was faintly carved, coiling around the entire token, exuding an air of nobility.

Yang, as a master of martial arts, possessed a terrifying close-combat ability that was absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary individuals. In an instant, he unleashed this prowess, with every part of his body—be it shoulders, feet, knees, or palms—capable of delivering lethal blows.

Yang Yi's emotions surged as he gently reached out and tapped the ground.

After searching further, there is still nothing of value.

With each beat of Yang Yi's heart, a portion of this vital energy was dissipated, flowing towards his limbs and bones. Yang Yi felt a wave of comfort throughout his body, as if he had consumed a complete tonic, filled with strength, vigorous and fierce, capable of tearing apart a ferocious tiger

Although Yang Yi did not know what exactly was in the bottle, he speculated that it must be something valuable, so he quickly put it away

What is going on? Have I traveled through time?

Slowly, the man approached and crouched down

Yang's eyes suddenly opened wide, resembling a fierce beast. With a swift motion, his hands shot up like those of an octopus, firmly gripping onto the opponent's body.

Yang Yi immediately sensed a crisis; at this moment, he could no longer pay attention to the peculiarities of his body. The master's consciousness began to immerse itself, waiting for the optimal opportunity

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Yang's eyes as he instantly approached the burly man with a dagger in hand. With a swift motion, he slashed the dagger, creating a large gash in the man's arm, from which countless streams of fresh blood flowed. Among them, a few strands of blood were slightly dark, representing the essence blood, a manifestation of the concentrated essence found within the body's fluids.

Finally, under the full effort of Yang Yiquan from the Tu Shu, the crisis has been resolved, and these few drops of essence blood have begun to slowly dissolve.

Coagulation double, meridians, prescribe for me

The first level of blood coagulation primarily involves the aggregation of blood vessels. Currently, the blood vessels within my body have reached their peak of aggregation. Further aggregation would serve no significant purpose. Next, I can begin to expand the meridians, which is the realm of the second level of blood coagulation

Who is this master? Such immense power is simply beyond what a human can possess

He slightly opened his eyes, and what met his gaze was an expanse of blue sky. Yang Yi had traveled all over the world, but he vowed that he had never seen such a pure sky.

In memory, it seems possible to refine the essence and blood of others for cultivation. Although this method of cultivation carries risks, it is indeed a shortcut to advancement in practice

Hmph, can it be compared to close combat with a master

This group of information is a collection of memories, belonging to Yang Yi of this world. The boy who has occupied Yang Yi's body is also named Yang Yi; he is a hunter from the foothills. This world is somewhat reminiscent of ancient times, yet it is a realm filled with cultivators, where the strong are revered.

Just as Yang Yi was still in doubt, a rough voice suddenly came from beside him

The people here are known as Blood Refiners. According to legend, humans were created from the essence of the divine dragon, phoenix, and qilin, which imbued them with immense power. Through gradual cultivation, one can harness these powerful forces and ascend to the pinnacle.

Yang Yi quickly picked up the dagger of the Han and slightly waved it in front of his face

Yang Yi swiftly harnessed the masterful control of his vital energy, mobilizing it as if it were swarms of ants, gradually refining those few drops of essence blood

The face of the slightly refined man beside the gleaming dagger is unfamiliar, definitely not resembling Yang Yi.

Yang, without hesitation, focused his thoughts and extended his hand, channeling the surging blood throughout his body to his hand.

Call!

However, I have not yet figured out what is happening, when the burly man suddenly fell backward with great force, enough to potentially kill Yang Yi instantly

Controlling one's vital energy is merely a common technique among masters; however, here, even a practitioner at the fifth level of blood condensation may find it impossible to control their vital energy. This illustrates the strengths and weaknesses inherent to individuals from different worlds.

Yang Yi is a master. Although the strength within the bodies of the lowest-level individuals here is not inferior to the strength Yang Yi possessed during his previous life as a master, it is ultimately just strength, lacking the combat awareness and control abilities of a true master

Once this essence entered the abdomen, it felt as if a fire were burning within. After all, this was the essence of a triple-blooded expert. In Yang Yi's previous memories, he had only refined the blood of lowly beasts and had never refined the essence of such skilled practitioners.

What is going on? How did my strength suddenly increase so much?

Good opportunity

Yang Yi's only regret in his past life was not knowing what lies beyond the realm of masters. Now, having traversed into this extraordinary world, he has been granted an unprecedented and vast stage.

In a daze, Yang Yi slightly caught sight of a burly man, dressed in a form-fitting long robe, a style of clothing one would only see in ancient television dramas. This burly man approached Yang Yi, wielding a sharp dagger that glimmered with a white light.

Boom

Yang Yi reached out his hand and forcefully grasped, drawing the essence of blood into his palm. With a slight grit of his teeth, he instantly swallowed the few drops of essence.

Gong, gong

Well, these triple masters must also possess valuable items

What is this? It is placed so secretly, it must be something very valuable. Yang Yi is merely a hunter from the foot of the mountain, and in his memory, his deceased father was only at the second level of blood condensation, a truly low-level individual.

Yang felt an endless darkness, as if he were falling forever, like an endless abyss, perpetually descending. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and he faintly caught a whiff of floral fragrance in his nose

Yang Yiyi turned over the corpse of the burly man, continuously searching for something on him. After a short while, she found several exquisite bottles. Upon opening one, a refreshing fragrance wafted out, invigorating and uplifting the spirit.

Bang bang bang bang

Here, cultivation can lead to immortality; here, cultivation can lead to becoming the strongest. Cultivation is divided into five realms: Blood Condensation, Transformation, Heavenly Connection, Immortal, and Divine Demon, with each realm further divided into nine levels

Snap

Here is a forest, the air is fresh, and upon looking at "myself," my height and attire have completely transformed into the tight-fitting garments of ancient times

Oh? This is ... ...

Is this person going to kill me

Yang put away the token; he did not recognize it, but he could gradually inquire about it later

At this moment, these few drops of essence blood are surging violently within the veins; if they are not refined soon, Yang Yi will face a violent death.

Finally succeeded, the dual coagulation, I have finally achieved the dual coagulation, such power is a wonderful feeling I have never experienced before, indescribable!

Currently, Yang Yi is merely at the lowest level of the Blood Condensation Realm, which has a total of nine levels. Each level is exceedingly difficult to attain. Above the ninth level of Blood Condensation, there exists the Transformation Realm. Yang Yi is only aware of this much; even the highest being within a radius of five hundred miles, Bai Liefeng, the lord of Qingyang Prefecture at the fifth level of Blood Condensation, is not clear about the specifics of the Transformation Realm.

The burly man became enraged, his rock-like muscles evoking a sense of terror. It was only then that Yang Yi suddenly realized the man's strength was truly unimaginable. Had it not been for Yang Yi's masterful control, firmly gripping the man's body, he would likely have been thrown off with just a single movement.

It is truly incredible that one can possess the power to destroy the heavens and the earth through cultivation in this world! In my previous life, I cultivated for several decades and finally reached the pinnacle, yet my power was still not as formidable as the most basic level of Blood Condensation in this current body.

Yang Yi immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot, furrowing his brows as he slowly processed the information in his mind

The hard ground appeared as if it had been struck by a massive boulder, revealing a pit approximately two inches in size. What a terrifying force, at least several times greater than Yang Yi's previous strength.

Yang Yi has died; no one knows what it is like after death.

In this world, the veins of the people are interconnected, allowing blood to flow abundantly, transporting the power within the vital energy and blood throughout the body. In this realm, due to the powerful and unmatched strength inherited from bloodlines such as that of the divine dragon, all cultivators strive to open their veins, thoroughly excavating the immense power contained within their bloodlines

The surging and tumultuous power of the bloodline finally broke through the meridians in his hands after a relentless impact lasting half an hour. In an instant, Yang Yi felt all the pain vanish, replaced by an indescribable sensation of bliss rippling through his body

Wait, what is this? It seems like there is a lot of chaotic information in my mind

Yang Yi was exhausted, panting heavily. Only after seeing the dead man beside him did he begin to carefully observe his surroundings.

Perhaps this is due to the fact that the people in this world possess the bloodlines of sacred beings such as the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin

Having understood this, Yang Yi began to refine the essence and blood of the strong man with unparalleled control. This strong man was a master of the third level of blood condensation, and the potency of his essence and blood was absolutely beyond Yang Yi's imagination

What? Not dead yet? Damn little thief, come down here!

The burly man was killed only after Yang Yi twisted his neck, and although Yang Yi's close-range strikes appeared to be formidable, they did not inflict any fatal injuries on the giant.

Yang Yi felt the immense power of his internal energy and blood. With each attack, he could crush stones into powder. Even the hardest muscles of a man could not withstand such close-range bombardment, causing him to scream in pain.

This is an incredibly painful process, but Yang Yi has already embraced the will of the master, so this level of pain can be endured

Buzz buzz buzz

Hmph, I am a martial arts master, and what masters excel at is control! Control over the energy and blood throughout the body, the complete refinement of vital essence

Hmph, daring to sneak around here, seeking death! Let's see if this kid has anything valuable on him

The man seemed to be possessed, exhibiting boundless strength, to the point that even Yang Yi felt overwhelmed, not only in shock.

Yang Yi immediately began to control his vital energy and blood flow, but upon doing so, he discovered that the energy within him was astonishingly powerful, with a strength that could rival several times that of his former self.

Yang Yi is currently at the first layer of the lowest level of the coagulation realm. Just now, the powerful man he exerted great effort to kill was a master at the third layer. In this forest, lurking in the shadows, Yang Yi encountered him and was easily killed. It was only then that Yang Yi's consciousness was able to take control of this body, thus allowing for his rebirth

The meridians of the hand are the most complex, and most people first open the meridians in their hands during breakthroughs, as this allows the power of the blood vessels to be transmitted to the hands, enabling them to unleash even greater strength in combat

At last, all of the vital essence had been refined. Yang Yi's entire body was on the verge of bursting from the overwhelming power. If he did not open up other meridians soon, he would be crushed by his own strength.
