# Chapter 2212: Blood Heaven Three Supremes
The day before the God Ascension Banquet, Blood Butcher and Stone Emperor hurried back to the Blood Absolute Family from outside. Zhang Ruochen also emerged from seclusion at this time, ending his cultivation.
"Have you found clues about my master?" Zhang Ruochen asked directly.
On the surface, he appeared very calm, but inside he was filled with anticipation, hoping very much to hear good news.
Blood Butcher said, "I mobilized all the channels of the Blood Radiance Divine Temple to investigate this matter secretly. I found thirteen Corpse Clan cultivators who might be your master's transformed form. Senior Brother, please take a look."
As he spoke, Blood Butcher flipped his hand and took out a special crystal, handing it to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen reached out to take it, released his spiritual power, and probed into the crystal, immediately obtaining a great deal of information.
The crystal contained general information about thirteen Corpse Clan cultivators, including their backgrounds, cultivation levels, and so on. Each Corpse Clan cultivator's appearance was extremely similar to Xuanji Sword Saint.
Among these thirteen Corpse Clan cultivators, the weakest was only at the Half-Saint level, while the strongest had already become a Great Saint, distributed across different Corpse Clan forces.
In less than a month, Blood Butcher had managed to investigate this information, which showed considerable skill.
One must understand that the Corpse Clan's territory was vast and boundless, occupying who knows how many stars, and the number of Corpse Clan cultivators was counted in trillions. Being able to find thirteen who resembled Xuanji Sword Saint was no easy feat.
Zhang Ruochen firmly memorized the information about the thirteen Corpse Clan cultivators, planning to investigate them one by one.
If he was lucky, perhaps one of them really was Xuanji Sword Saint.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen also understood that the possibility was not very high. Xuanji Sword Saint in the Hell Realm would certainly be extremely cautious, not easily found by anyone.
In fact, Xuanji Sword Saint might have already changed his appearance in the Hell Realm, becoming a completely different person.
The "Thirty-Six Transformations of Formless Form" that Zhang Ruochen cultivated was taught by Xuanji Sword Saint. In this aspect, Xuanji Sword Saint's mastery was even higher.
"Even if there's only a slight possibility, I must do my best to search. Master, oh Master, why do you insist on staying in the Hell Realm?" Zhang Ruochen thought silently to himself.
"Senior Brother, is your master among them?" Blood Butcher asked.
Zhang Ruochen turned his head to look at Blood Butcher and gently shook his head, saying, "You're asking me? How would I know? In the Hell Realm, I could also find a large number of Undying Blood Clan cultivators who look like you."
"The Santu River basin is vast and boundless. To thoroughly investigate the Corpse Clan will take considerable time. Once Master's God Ascension Banquet is over, I will continue the investigation," Blood Butcher quickly said.
"Do you think my master will stay in the Santu River basin forever? The entire Hell Realm, every clan must be investigated," Zhang Ruochen said.
"Yes, Senior Brother is right."
After a pause, Blood Butcher tentatively asked, "I wonder if Senior Brother could first return the Endless Hell Refining Tower to me? I need it for my recent cultivation."
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen's heart stirred. Blood Butcher's eagerness to get back the Endless Hell Refining Tower was definitely not for cultivation. It was most likely because Blood Radiance Divine Lord was coming to attend the God Ascension Banquet, and he wanted to prepare in advance.
Blood Radiance Divine Lord was an ancient god of the Blood Heaven Tribe who had survived one Eon Calamity, possessing considerable strength. Having grown up in the same era, he had a very good relationship with Xue Jue War God.
Most other gods would only arrive at the Blood Absolute Family when the God Ascension Banquet was held. But Blood Radiance Divine Lord might already be inside the Blood Absolute Family now.
Just now, Zhang Ruochen vaguely sensed a obscure divine thought sweep over him, disappearing in an instant.
Being watched by a powerful ancient god like this was not a good thing.
As long as one could survive an Eon Calamity, even if only once, they had already broken through the life limit of gods, becoming a first-rate powerhouse among gods.
Such gods were extremely terrifying throughout the entire universe.
Zhang Ruochen said, "Considering your earnest efforts, I can lend you the Endless Hell Refining Tower for one day. But at this time tomorrow, it must be returned."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
A delighted smile appeared on Blood Butcher's face.
Zhang Ruochen waved his hand and took out the sealed Endless Hell Refining Tower.
He had also thought about refining the Endless Hell Refining Tower, but discovered divine marks left inside by a god that could not be erased, so he had to seal it away.
Not just the Endless Hell Refining Tower, almost all the other Supreme Sacred Artifacts and Divine Relic Ancient Artifacts Zhang Ruochen had obtained were the same.
Only the Annihilating Golden Sun truly belonged to Blazing Sun Heavenly Son, specially refined for him by the old Heavenly Lord of the Blazing Sun Civilization.
Therefore, after killing Blazing Sun Heavenly Son, Zhang Ruochen was able to successfully refine the Annihilating Golden Sun.
As for the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror, it was obtained by that Nine-Eyed Heavenly King in the Kunlun Realm by chance, and when acquired, it lacked its core component and had no artifact spirit, making it easy to refine.
Blood Butcher stared fixedly at the Endless Hell Refining Tower, his eyes filled with excitement. This supreme treasure was finally returning to his hands.
"Remember, I am only lending you the Endless Hell Refining Tower, not giving it to you. If you don't return it by tomorrow, you'll bear the consequences," Zhang Ruochen said sternly.
Blood Butcher said with a flattering smile, "Understood, understood. Senior Brother, rest assured."
Taking the Endless Hell Refining Tower from Zhang Ruochen's hands, Blood Butcher's suspended heart finally settled.
"Tomorrow is the God Ascension Banquet. Senior Brother must have many things to do. I won't disturb you," Blood Butcher said, leaving these words before quickly departing from Zhang Ruochen's residence.
Watching Blood Butcher leave, Zhang Ruochen murmured softly, "The God Ascension Banquet—I can see how many extraordinary talents the Blood Heaven Tribe has."
The Heaven Hunting Grand Banquet held by the Destiny Temple had an extremely high standard, and all Ten Clans of Hell attached great importance to it. The Blood Heaven Tribe would naturally not be an exception, certainly sending all their elites.
Although Zhang Ruochen did not yet understand the specific details of the Heaven Hunting Grand Banquet, he knew that only Saint Kings and Great Saints under a thousand years old were qualified to participate.
To be precise, the participants were Nine-Step Saint Kings, Immortal Realm Great Saints, and Hundred Shackles Realm Great Saints.
It wasn't that no one could cultivate to the Thousand Questions Realm within a thousand years.
Rather, once one's cultivation reached the Thousand Questions Realm, they truly began to touch the principles of heaven and earth, probing the mysteries of becoming a god. Standing at a different height, the focus of cultivation was no longer mainly on pursuing power. The Heaven Hunting Grand Banquet held little meaning for them.
Under normal circumstances, those who could stand out at the Heaven Hunting Grand Banquet were all top-tier Hundred Shackles Realm powerhouses, meticulously cultivated by the Ten Clans of Hell.
Even if the Blood Heaven Tribe ranked last among the Ten Great Tribes of the Undying Blood Clan, its foundation would certainly not be weak.
Moreover, whether it was still last now was hard to say.
Although Zhang Ruochen had fully mastered his physical strength and greatly advanced his cultivation, he dared not underestimate the world's talents.
The God Ascension Banquet arrived as scheduled.
Inside and outside the Blood Absolute Family, it was a scene of lively activity. Saint Kings and Great Saints of the family, rarely seen on ordinary days, all appeared today. Even those Saint Realm cultivators who were away had returned recently.
Some came back from the more than ten Merit Battlefields with the Heavenly Court Realm, some returned from the border star regions of the Hell Realm, and even the powerhouses stationed on various planets, ruins realms, and cosmic secret realms sent back congratulatory gifts.
The God Ascension Banquet prepared for the two new gods was grand beyond compare, absolutely not to be neglected, and could not lose face for the Blood Absolute Family.
Starting from the morning, gods successively brought their disciples, children, and subordinates to the Blood Absolute Family.
Above the Blood Absolute Family, divine light appeared at intervals. Some came riding divine temples, some stepped on blood-colored divine clouds, and some even rode divine beasts thousands of miles long, each with awe-inspiring might.
It was like ten thousand demons paying homage.
The arriving gods were all directly guided to the Blood Absolute Divine Palace in the divine soil, not descending to the mortal world.
As for the Saint Realm cultivators who came with the gods, they were led into the Vast Sea Villa, a place specially for holding grand events, only opened for extremely important occasions.
The Vast Sea Villa was very spacious, containing sacred mountains and sacred lakes, and was planted with many Blood Thorn Nether Flowers, everywhere filled with refreshing floral fragrances.
For this God Ascension Banquet, the Blood Absolute Family had renovated the Vast Sea Villa, decorating it even more splendidly, and specially opened the Floating Sky Island, exclusively for receiving those elites who would participate in the Heaven Hunting Grand Banquet.
Because too many people came to attend the God Ascension Banquet, besides those brought by gods, there were also many Great Saints who arrived on their own, not lacking top-tier existences. Even the acting family head, Qingsheng Great Saint, had to personally receive them.
Even though all the Saint Realm disciples of the Blood Absolute Family were mobilized, they still appeared very busy, unable to cope.
Zhang Ruochen had also arrived early at the Vast Sea Villa, but stayed on the Floating Sky Island the entire time, not receiving guests.
He was not familiar with the Saint Realm cultivators of the Blood Heaven Tribe, and moreover, he simply did not like doing such things. The only reason he could attend this banquet was because of Xue Hou.
Although some people were very dissatisfied with Zhang Ruochen, there was nothing they could do.
After all, whose mother was a god?
Even if he only had half Undying Blood Clan bloodline, no one dared to discriminate against him, nor could they treat him like other illegitimate disciples.
As time passed, more and more Saint Kings and Great Saints were led to the Floating Sky Island, each taking their seats, some drinking alone, some gathering in small groups.
"Rumble."
A huge divine temple broke through the air, appearing above the Blood Absolute Family, then descended a brilliant divine light.
When the divine light dissipated, more than ten figures appeared, each with extraordinary bearing, emitting powerful sacred might from their bodies.
The leader was a burly man, nearly one zhang tall, with a head of silver long hair, his muscles like coiled dragons, full of power.
"Blood Qi, take my palm!"
As soon as this person appeared, like a humanoid violent dragon, he charged straight at Blood Qi Great Saint, striking out with a palm.
As he raised his hand, an extremely terrifying ice-cold power condensed, the temperature of heaven and earth suddenly dropping.
Blood Qi Great Saint frowned but did not retreat. He spread his legs into a bow stance and also struck out a palm, releasing vast blood fiend power.
Neither of them mobilized heaven and earth rules or sacred qi, only using their own strength, and deliberately restrained themselves, controlling the destructive power to the minimum range.
"Bang."
The palm prints they struck collided violently.
Blood Qi Great Saint's body shook, involuntarily stepping backward, but he still managed to receive this palm.
"Haha, Blood Qi, your progress in the last ten years is not small. I have cultivated the Ice Seal Qiankun Palm for fifty years, reaching perfection. Using only thirty percent of my power, you could still receive it. In this millennium, you should be number one in the Blood Absolute Family." The silver-haired man laughed heartily.
Blood Qi Great Saint dissolved the ice-cold power, shocked inside, and cupped his hands, saying, "Congratulations, Brother Yixuan, on cultivating the Ice Seal Qiankun Palm to perfection. There will be few in the Hundred Shackles Realm who can be your opponent."
Blood Qi Great Saint's personality was proud, but facing this Yixuan Great Saint, he had to adopt a humble attitude.
At the same Hundred Shackles Realm cultivation, there was a huge gap between Blood Qi Great Saint and Yixuan Great Saint.
Just like the Saint King Realm, once reaching the Great Saint Realm, with the same cultivation, strength could be vastly different.
"Tap tap."
Just as Yixuan Great Saint was about to speak, an ancient war chariot covered in scars drove over from afar, reflecting a tragic battlefield strewn with corpses, with gods bleeding and suns and moons falling, making people's hearts tremble.
Pulling the war chariot was a Silver Flood Dragon Beast Emperor, a hundred miles long, emitting an extremely fierce and vicious aura. Just sneezing, heaven and earth trembled, with phenomena of thunder and lightning.
"Roar."
The Silver Flood Dragon Beast Emperor let out low roars, treading through the air.
For a moment, almost everyone inside and outside the Vast Sea Villa was alarmed, turning their gazes to the ancient war chariot, Zhang Ruochen included.
When the war chariot stopped, a slender, handsome man walked down, his whole body blooming with seven-colored divine light, with silver wings on his back, actually as many as eight.
Just from the number of silver wings, one could see that this person's blood energy was extremely strong.
Seeing this person, Yixuan Great Saint's expression changed slightly, saying, "This fellow, wasn't he at the Undying Divine Temple comprehending the Blood Transformation Heaven Nether Finger? No news for thirty years. I thought he wouldn't participate in this Heaven Hunting Grand Banquet. Since he has emerged from seclusion, doesn't that mean he has successfully cultivated the Blood Transformation Heaven Nether Finger?"
"But that's fine. If he didn't come, this Heaven Hunting Grand Banquet would be too boring. We haven't crossed hands for many years. Today, I can exchange a few moves and see if he has truly cultivated the Blood Transformation Heaven Nether Finger. I hope he doesn't disappoint me."
Hearing this, Blood Qi Great Saint's eyes showed a look of shock.
The Blood Transformation Heaven Nether Finger was one of the most top-tier Hundred Shackles-level high-rank sacred arts, a secret transmission of the Undying Divine Temple, extremely difficult to cultivate. Even many Thousand Questions Realm Great Saints could not successfully cultivate it.
Blood Ningxiao appeared beside Zhang Ruochen and sat down, her eyes showing admiration, saying, "Did you see? The cultivator who exchanged a palm with Blood Qi Great Saint is Yixuan Great Saint, the famous young Great Saint of the Yi family, now not yet five hundred years old, having already broken eighty shackles."
"Cousin Ruochen, you're over eight hundred years old. You need to work hard!"
"The cultivator who got off the war chariot is Gu Chenzi, similar in age to Yixuan Great Saint, born with six wings, gifted with extraordinary talent, simultaneously cultivating two great heavenly paths of the Undying Blood Clan, highly valued by the Undying Divine Temple. Many say he might become a god before three thousand years old."
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen's gaze swept over Yixuan Great Saint and Gu Chenzi. To have such cultivation in only five hundred years was indeed very impressive.
However, fast cultivation speed did not necessarily mean one could become a god.
Many cultivators spent their time during the Half-Saint, Saint, and Saint King periods, constantly accumulating and laying a solid foundation. This way, they could go further and have stronger combat power at the same realm.
Blood Ningxiao's eyes showed a look of longing, continuing, "In the last thousand years, our Blood Heaven Tribe has had three most monstrous figures, namely Yixuan Great Saint, Gu Chenzi, and Yu Huang. They are prodigies of the same era, always comparable in cultivation, known as the Blood Heaven Three Supremes. Of course, they have now all become overlords, enfeoffed as Great Saints, crowned as emperors."
In the Blood Heaven Tribe world, there was no living being who did not know the names of the Blood Heaven Three Supremes. They were hailed as the future hope of the Blood Heaven Tribe, with great chances of becoming gods. Blood Qi Great Saint was a notch below them.
