[The name "Yun Yang Realm" is the name you used to name the world after you returned more than seventy years ago and established the "Innate Camp," referring to the Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters within it.]

Before that, the people of the Three Kingdoms didn't even have a name for the continent they inhabited, nor did they have a specific name for the world they lived in.

[And you, as a celestial being, began to discuss matters with your disciples.]

"I only realized how vast the Azure Domain is after I went to the Upper Realm. The lower worlds are as numerous as the stars. I was thinking, why don't we give this realm a name too?"

Everyone agreed.

"Excellent!"

"When we shatter the crystal barrier and ascend to the Azure Realm one day, we'll have someone to talk to about our origins."

"In my opinion, how about we call it..."

You cough, interrupting them.

"I see there are quite a few clouds in the sky, so let's start with the character 'cloud'."

Everyone: "..."

"You can't be too unseemly," you paused, then added, "Let's add the character '泱' (yang), which symbolizes a vast and powerful world."

"From now on, let's call our realm the Yunyang Realm. Does anyone have any other opinions?"

Everyone waved their hands in agreement, saying the name was excellent—simple yet grand, conveying a wealth of meaning in just three characters. Some even claimed they had racked their brains for three days without finding a better name.

"He also has a simulator. As soon as Lao Jiu mentioned Yun Yang Realm, he thought about it for three whole days."

"There are many talented people in the Yunyang community."

At the victory celebration banquet, Chu He was a little speechless, unsure how to respond to the enthusiastic fans below.

Behind him, you, the next to appear, send a telepathic message: "Just say what's on your mind."

【The Wound of Chu River (In Brewing)】

"I am a person wholeheartedly devoted to martial arts. I was born in the lower realm and witnessed the unparalleled demeanor and righteous deeds of a celestial elder when I was young. I believe that what I did was right, and I am striving to emulate him."

You nodded in satisfaction.

"People tell me that martial artists of that level don't exist, but I never pay attention to what they say. They tell me not to daydream and tell me what to do, but I don't care."

[This sounds familiar.]

"Later, due to an accident, I awakened my Sacred Body, and that senior also actually possessed a Sacred Body..." Chu Heshang stammered, as he had never faced such a situation before, and his speech became increasingly incoherent.

Finally, he concluded.

"I want to say—"

"If you could also possess a sacred body like me, then I think that would be incredibly cool!"

"..."

In 2980, you performed a great feat, your fame spread far and wide, and you rose to the top of the "Three Heroes of Yunyang," surpassing Chu He and injuring a big head.

As for Bei Chenguang, he has rarely appeared in public for several years now. You haven't heard any news about him for years, and the only connection you can make is with his goddaughter-in-law, Jiang Yueli.

[In 2982, at the age of 127, you have mastered the primordial energy of heaven and earth, extending your influence to a radius of fifteen li. You have surpassed the peak of the Celestial Realm in every aspect. When sparring with your colleagues in the "Heavenly Net Battle Body," you can defeat ten peak Celestial Realm cultivators at once!]

[I haven't used the Setsuna Future Body yet.]

In 2983, you receive a mission: a child of the Armored King has entered "Blood Crystal Valley" in the southeast of the war zone. Your mission is to lead your squad to slay the Armored Demon who possesses the blood of a false king.

Humans and spirits possess the blessing of a "sacred body," while the extraordinary combat power of demons relies on "superior bloodlines."

[High-level demons can bestow blood upon low-level demons, making the low-level demons stronger than before. However, the bestowed blood will weaken over time and as the low-level demons level up.]

[Because demons level up by refining their bloodlines, and while the bloodlines bestowed by higher-ranking demons can greatly increase their strength, they are also used for their rapid advancement.]

In game terms, a low-level demon with 100 combat power receives one drop of Great Demon Blood. Equipping Great Demon Blood grants +50 combat power and a 5x growth bonus—but this 5x growth bonus consumes Great Demon Blood and other resources.

[Once the little demon's main body reaches 170 combat power, his original Great Demon blood will be exhausted, allowing him to equip new Great Demon blood to further increase his combat power...]

[While "equipped" with the blood of a Greater Demon, the blood of this lesser demon with 150 combat power can be used to upgrade weapons far exceeding its current strength. The upper limit of Demon Blood Forging is that of the Greater Demon.]

Yun Shou nodded, explaining that the little alien had done the same thing when it transformed the beings of the Three Kingdoms into demonic warriors.

Even the lowest-ranking, second-rate demonized soldiers, if numbered in large enough quantities, can forge demonic blood weapons suitable for grandmasters (actually of innate quality by upper-world standards).

Because these demonized soldiers are all "demonic blood" within them, their essence is very high.

However, the Demon Blood Armaments created using Yun Liu's blood, which had just been completely transformed into that of the Ancient Clan, actually had a lower potential!

Because Yun Liu has already absorbed the higher-quality demonic blood within his body and made it his own!

[Your target on this journey, the offspring of the Armored King, undoubtedly possesses the bloodline of its father: a pseudo-king-level Armored Demon, making it stronger than a Celestial Perfection cultivator!]

Its purpose in going to Blood Crystal Valley was also clear: to further increase its blood essence concentration, achieve multiple levels of sublimation, and even directly break through to the realm of myriad qualities!

Blood Crystal Valley is the site of the ancient battle between the supreme beings of humans and demons. Several "Supreme Fighting Bodies" and "True Forms of Demon Gods" perished here, creating a trial ground with extraordinary effects on both human and demon races.

After years of debate, it was decided that only humans/demons below the third realm could enter this place. Of course, those at the second realm could also enter and then break through to the third realm, as long as they could do so.

[You lead your subordinates: ten late-stage Innate Realm cultivators to the Perfection Realm into Blood Crystal Valley. On the outer side of that vast, deep valley, you see large expanses of pale red crystalline rock, along with various intertwined traces of elemental energy.]

[A human and a demon, both powerful beings, were meditating on the outer perimeter to maintain order.]

These crystal rocks have evaporated over too many years, and are now merely superficial; even mining a million tons wouldn't be enough to forge innate-level demonic blood weapons.

[As you venture deeper into Blood Crystal Valley, you'll occasionally see mountain walls extensively damaged, riddled with pits—where, in their original locations, were small fragments of a fighting spirit or the true form of a demon god, unearthed long ago by humans or demons because they were too far to the outside.]

You will occasionally encounter your own kind and demons. If you are of the same kind, you will greet each other and then avoid each other. If you are a demon, you will kill them on the spot. With you here, none of them will be able to escape.

[The futuristic detection ability of the "Fleeting Future Entity" is too good; three seconds is enough for you to fly dozens of miles at full speed, making it usable as a simple detector.]

[But your teammates had strange expressions. They saw you always making a show of preparing to sprint, as if the energy of heaven and earth were surging, but the next second you would suddenly lose your strength and seem to wilt.]

You have no idea that's what they think of you.

"I... never mind."

Yun Shou put down his notebook.

Even his name wasn't mentioned, so he couldn't possibly remember it even if he wanted to.
