# Chapter 1211: Yin-Yang Sea

After becoming the Sect Leader, Zhang Ruochen's cultivation site moved from the Hidden Dragon Hall to the Return Origin Divine Palace.

The Return Origin Divine Palace was located at the summit of Infant Lord Peak, at the very center of the Blood God Sect.

Standing on the Star Observation Platform north of the palace, looking out, one could see palaces and towers nestled among the lofty mountains and ridges, with clouds steaming and mists swirling, sacred energy soaring into the sky. The entire Blood God Sect's architecture was laid out before one's eyes.

Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged on the Star Observation Platform, inhaling and exhaling sacred energy, with holy light flowing all over his body.

"Finally healed from my injuries."

Zhang Ruochen stood up, first practicing palm techniques, then fist techniques, and then executing a complete True One Thunder Fire Sword Technique.

Having achieved physical sainthood, Zhang Ruochen's self-healing ability had become extremely formidable. Without taking any healing pills, the injuries on his body healed in a short time, returning him to his peak state.

Tonight, the stars shone brightly, casting down strands of shimmering radiance.

Under the starry sky, Xiao Hei stood at the edge of the Star Observation Platform, gazing at the myriad stars, and said: "In the two great battles at the Black Market Headquarters and the Blood God Sect, a large number of Undying Blood Clan members fell. Whether you are Zhang Ruochen or Gu Linfeng, you will both enter the Undying Blood Clan's kill list."

"I won't sit around waiting for death."

Zhang Ruochen sheathed his sword, his eyes sharp as he spoke.

He was filled with a thirst for power, wanting only to cultivate his martial path to the Saint Realm as quickly as possible. Only by constantly growing stronger could he establish a foothold in the Kunlun Realm.

The Kunlun Realm was becoming increasingly chaotic. Zhang Ruochen always felt that an even greater crisis would soon descend.

Huang Yanchen also stood on the Star Observation Platform, her deep blue hair fluttering in the wind. Her voice was cold and clear: "Of the Blood God Sect's six Sacred Elders, four have died. Of the four great Dharma Kings, one has died, and another was severely injured and has yet to return to the sect. Of the Cross Heaven Palace's palace masters, two have fallen. Besides that, a large number of Saints and Half-Saints have died. It's truly a severe loss of vitality. I'm afraid that from now on, the top powers of Tiantai Prefecture will all turn their spearheads against the Blood God Sect, vying for its territory and resources."

Zhang Ruochen smiled slightly, appearing unconcerned, and said: "It's true that the Blood God Sect has lost a large number of Saints, but it has also left behind a great many Sacred Sources. The Blood God Sect doesn't lack Ninth-Step Half-Saints and Quasi-Saints. As long as they refine those Sacred Sources, new Saints will soon emerge."

"Besides, the world is in chaos. No one knows what the situation will be like next. So-called territory and resources don't hold much meaning. If they want to seize them, let them have them."

"That's right."

Xiao Hei said: "At this stage, we should immediately go and retrieve the Divine Dragon Sun-Moon Chaos Tower. As long as we have a Divine Artifact in hand, any enemy who dares to invade the Blood God Sect will meet only death."

Clearly, Huang Yanchen and Xiao Hei had already come to regard the Blood God Sect as Zhang Ruochen's foundation, and were both considering how to protect and strengthen it.

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen were both moved and asked in unison: "Where exactly is the Divine Dragon Sun-Moon Chaos Tower located?"

The Kunlun Realm had ten Divine Artifacts, and the Divine Dragon Sun-Moon Chaos Tower was one of them.

Legend had it that in the Primordial Era, the Divine Dragon Sun-Moon Chaos Tower had floated in the void, absorbing most of the chaotic energy from the birth of the Kunlun Realm.

Cultivating within the Divine Dragon Sun-Moon Chaos Tower was like returning to the Primordial Era, offering boundless benefits.

Moreover, the Divine Dragon Sun-Moon Chaos Tower possessed unfathomable power, far surpassing Thousand-Mark Sacred Artifacts and Ten-Thousand-Mark Sacred Artifacts. Once it emerged, it would surely shake the world.

Xiao Hei said unhurriedly: "The ancestral land of the Divine Dragon Clan, Yin-Yang Sea."

"How could the Divine Dragon Sun-Moon Chaos Tower be there?"

Huang Yanchen furrowed her delicate brows and continued: "It is said that when the last Divine Dragon died, it activated the forbidden formation, cutting off the path into Yin-Yang Sea. That place has become an ancient ruin, and no living being can break in."

Xiao Hei chuckled and said: "The Divine Dragon Sun-Moon Chaos Tower was originally the supreme treasure of the Divine Dragon Clan."

Huang Yanchen fell silent, as if pondering something.

"Is your physical body also sealed in Yin-Yang Sea?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Xiao Hei nodded, speaking proudly: "That's right. As long as you help this Emperor retrieve my physical body, I can return to my peak and battle across the world. Then, this Emperor will protect you and become your greatest backing."

Qing Mo chuckled, walked over, patted Xiao Hei's head, picked him up, and said: "You, this fat cat, want to battle across the world and protect us? Hehe."

Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen also knew that Xiao Hei liked to boast, so they didn't take his words to heart.

However, since Xiao Hei had sworn that the Divine Dragon Sun-Moon Chaos Tower was in Yin-Yang Sea, they really had to make a trip there.

If they could truly obtain a Divine Artifact, then no matter how chaotic the Kunlun Realm became, they could at least protect themselves.

Xiao Hei continued: "In Yin-Yang Sea, there isn't just the Divine Dragon Sun-Moon Chaos Tower, but also some other remarkable treasures. Bringing out any one of them would shock the world."

"Like what?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

"The recipe for the Six Saints Ascension Wine," Xiao Hei said.

"How is that possible? Legend says the recipe for the Six Saints Ascension Wine was already destroyed."

Qing Mo was the first to raise doubts, feeling that Xiao Hei was boasting again.

The Six Saints Ascension Wine was brewed by six human Saints of the Middle Ages, who devoted their entire lives to creating it. Their goal was to enhance the human physique, revitalize the human race, and elevate the overall human constitution to a level comparable to that of barbarian beasts.

Drinking just one pot of Six Saints Ascension Wine would grant even an ordinary human a physique comparable to a Saintly Body, as if ascending to heaven in a single step.

One could imagine that if large quantities of Six Saints Ascension Wine were brewed, the overall strength of the human race would surely rise by a level.

However, when the six Saints brewed the first batch of Six Saints Ascension Wine, they were attacked by barbarian beasts. To prevent the recipe from falling into the hands of the barbarian beasts, the six Saints had already destroyed it.

Xiao Hei raised his chin, speaking coldly and arrogantly: "The information you received all came from the mouths of barbarian beasts. How could barbarian beasts tell humans that the recipe for the Six Saints Ascension Wine is preserved in Yin-Yang Sea? If human Saints were to break into Yin-Yang Sea and retrieve the recipe, how disadvantageous would that be for the various barbarian beast clans? You must understand, the Six Saints Ascension Wine is only useful to humans; it has no use for barbarian beasts at all."

Zhang Ruochen's expression became very serious, and he said: "This is no joke. Is the recipe for the Six Saints Ascension Wine really in Yin-Yang Sea?"

"Every word this Emperor speaks is the truth. Why do you all doubt me?"

Xiao Hei felt somewhat speechless and let out a long sigh.

"Be serious. I want a definite answer," Zhang Ruochen said sternly.

In Zhang Ruochen's view, the Divine Dragon Sun-Moon Chaos Tower was too ethereal, existing only in myths and legends. It might not necessarily be found.

But the Six Saints Ascension Wine, Zhang Ruochen had seen with his own eyes.

Back then, Saintess Cainü had hosted the Realm Son Banquet at Liangyi Sect. The human cultivators seated at the Outstanding Person Table had drunk the Six Saints Ascension Wine. It was said that at the Realm Son Banquet, the various outstanding individuals had consumed all the small amount of Six Saints Ascension Wine that remained in the world.

Thus, the Six Saints Ascension Wine truly existed. Only by finding the recipe could it be brewed in large quantities, allowing the entire human race to move toward unprecedented prosperity, fearless of any calamity.

Even if Zhang Ruochen wasn't that noble, he could at least use the Six Saints Ascension Wine to cultivate thousands upon thousands of outstanding individuals comparable to Saintly Bodies for the Bright Sect and the Blood God Sect.

Xiao Hei said resolutely: "This Emperor swears to the heavens that the recipe for the Six Saints Ascension Wine is indeed in Yin-Yang Sea."

"Alright! I'll trust you this once. Two days from now, we'll set out for Yin-Yang Sea," Zhang Ruochen said.

"Why two days from now?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "Because in these two days, I still have an important matter to attend to."

That very night, Zhang Ruochen, Elder Yuan Xing, and Elder Yuan Zhou went together to the underground of the Blood God Sacrificial Altar to pay homage to the divine corpse of the Blood God.

The Blood God's divine corpse was over a thousand zhang tall. Even though he had died hundreds of thousands of years ago, a powerful divine force still enveloped it. Saints who approached would also bear tremendous pressure.

"A human body can actually reach over a thousand zhang in height." Zhang Ruochen found it hard to believe.

Elder Yuan Xing and Elder Yuan Zhou both had tense, old faces, showing utmost reverence, not even daring to speak loudly.

When they heard Zhang Ruochen's voice, they were both startled.

Elder Yuan Zhou quickly said: "Sect Leader, don't speak carelessly. Don't blaspheme the deity. That is a divine body, not a human body. Although the Blood God has passed away, his divine soul has not completely perished. Perhaps one day he will return. Coming here, we should have a reverent heart."

Zhang Ruochen looked up, feeling that the divine corpse before him was like a towering mountain, sending chills down his spine.

Elder Yuan Xing, afraid that the young Sect Leader beside him would speak recklessly again, quickly explained: "The path of cultivation is itself a process of constant transformation. Every time one reaches a major realm, their level of life undergoes a huge leap."

"Among these, becoming a Saint and becoming a God are the two greatest transformations."

"Ancient texts record that once one becomes a God, their blood energy surges violently, breaking through the suppression of space. If they do not go to the God Realm, they will transform into a Divine Giant."

Zhang Ruochen nodded and said: "So that's how it is."

Then, Zhang Ruochen raised a new question: "Why didn't the Blood God go to the God Realm? Does the legendary God Realm really exist?"

Elder Yuan Xing spread his hands, looking helpless, and said with a bitter smile: "This question of yours has been debated by generations of wise men in the Kunlun Realm, yet no conclusion has been reached. Perhaps only by cultivating to become a God will one know the answer."

Zhang Ruochen asked no more questions. He walked toward the Blood God's corpse and said: "I want to take ten million drops of Divine Blood."

Both Sacred Elders thought they were hallucinating and immediately asked: "What?"

"This Sect Leader wants to take ten million drops of Divine Blood," Zhang Ruochen repeated.

The two Sacred Elders were directly stunned.

Ten million drops of Divine Blood? What kind of joke was that?

The Blood God Sect extracted only two hundred drops of Divine Blood from the divine corpse each year. This was used not only to cultivate the younger generation's talents but also for alchemy, artifact forging, and so on. In short, every drop of Divine Blood had to be used on the cutting edge, handled with great care, with no waste allowed.

Every drop used was one less drop.

This young Sect Leader actually wanted to take ten million drops of Divine Blood at once, equivalent to the Blood God Sect's consumption over fifty thousand years.

What kind of joke was that?
