Chapter 963: SCR Summit,Archaic Chosen Enters the Fray
The figure was none other than Wu Yu, the Grand Knight of Neo-Dawn, and Wei Wuyin's first Alchemic Knight. After the rescue-and-ambush operation had succeeded, the Soul Saint King had arrived, and while discussions were happening, Wu Yu experienced a wave of enlightenment towards the Blood Origin Method. Conscious of this opportunity that could slip away, never returning, Wei Wuyin sent him away.
While Wu Yu had his misgivings about this due to the arrival of the Soul Saint King, he still followed Wei Wuyin's orders and left to cultivate, meditate on this profound insight, and reach the third stage of the Blood Origin Method.
This was the first mystic-graded cultivation method that he'd ever had the luxury of practicing, and its profoundness was tremendously high, allowing him to easily establish an Internal World while greatly enhancing his powers. According to the base descriptions that Wei Wuyin had inscribed on the plate in Mysticism, the Blood Origin Method was Low-World in terms of tier, and it could cultivate a Secondary Dantian.
Wu Yu had spent the last two months unifying his Mystic Soul, Origin Essence, and Blood Essence inside his heart, allowing it to undergo a drastically heaven-defying, mind-shaking change that he had never expected!
While it briefly mentioned evolving the flesh and blood heart into a Heart of Origin, the exact benefits hadn't been very detailed. As for the process, it was extremely detailed, but it didn't delve into the intricate results of each stage or their benefits.
The Blood Origin Method was divided into three stages: Tri-Blood Stage, World-Blood Stage, and Heart-Blood Stage.
The first stage intermixes Origin Essence, Blood Essence, and Mystic Intent into a single entity, increasing the blood's quality and capacity to store mystic-graded physical energies including its resonance and affinity with the Way of Mysticism. This greatly increased a cultivator's chance of reaching a higher Runic Ascendant State.
The second stage, World-Blood Stage, commences the initial transformation of a Heart of Origin, allowing the heart to generate blood that can convert into low-grade Origin Essence.
At first, when Wu Yu read the descriptions, he thought the best stage was the second stage, the World-Blood Stage. But after reaching the final stage, the Heart-Blood Stage, he knew why it was considered the last stage!
Wu Yu inspected his beating heart. Within was a dantian-like environment, containing its mystic energies that flowed alongside his blood in perfect harmony, causing his veins and arteries to become channel-like dantians as well, storing unique vats of mystic energy. The mystic energies within his heart, veins, and arteries far exceeded his original dantian by quite a bit. Furthermore, a second Internal World had formed inside his heart, even stronger than his first but smaller in size.
While this was already outrageous, there was a fault. There was no Mystic Soul or Mystic Core in this interconnected, body-spanning dantian, so he had to refine and supply all his energies using the one inside his original dantian. A tall order if he was exhausted completely. Of course, that was a difficult feat to achieve for any enemy.
"..." Wu Yu's expression grew solemn as he reached the center of his heart. There, a blood-colored Mystic Rune formed. However, it wasn't like any of his other Eight Runes of Mysticism. It emitted a strong, strange world aura that far exceeded the quality of a Worldly Domain.
It felt like…
"World Intent?" Wu Yu had witnessed Wei Wuyin's Worldly Intent on a few occasions, so he was extremely familiar with its aura, and how it emanated a Worldly Will that could dominate everything it encompassed. The power of World Intent was conversion and control, instilling the Will of water to transform ambient earth into water capable of being considered one's strength. It was one of the greatest profound powers and mysteries of the cultivation world, greatly exceeding a Worldly Domain.
However, it didn't seem to have any particular focus. It just felt like…World Intent of Mysticism?
Wu Yu's frown deepened. If Wei Wuyin was to see this rune, if he could see it, he would be extremely shocked! He had birthed a World Rune Seed that acted as a nucleus for his eighty-one Mystic Rune Seeds. But what would shock him wasn't the rune, but its position, and how Wu Yu still had eight Mystic Runes, subverting his presumption of order.
"It feels very external. Is this the final result of the completed Blood Origin Method?" Wu Yu felt very confused. There was no mention of this rune anywhere, and it wasn't his 9th Rune of Mysticism; moreover, the rune was located in his heart, not in his dantian with the others. He was deeply, indescribably confused.
Left without answers, Wu Yu decided to put it aside for now. It was best to regroup with Wei Wuyin first. After a brief spiritual transmission, he gained the location. A little confused why Wei Wuyin didn't just Void Portal him over, he flew towards the coordinates.

Since San Luoyang's announcement of allowing all those on the two Immortal Rankings to freely enter the Void Gate in fifteen days, the stage was still silent. It's been three days, yet no one had decided to challenge the stage. Certainly, 99% of cultivators of the younger and older generation have given up after witnessing the brutality of their peers and seniors' lives end.
While being a crucial existence in the upcoming era was important to them, their lives were vastly superior in worth. This mentality forced this stale atmosphere.
Suddenly, San Luoyang's voice resounded once again, bringing forth another announcement!
"Due to inactivity, if the stage has no successful challenges after two hours of the last successful challenge, the qualifications screening will come to an end. All those left will be relocated to the viewing stadium. All those on the Immortal Rankings will be brought to the Main Hall."
"...!" The crowd slowly roused into an uproar. The rich cultivation environment was exceptional, and to lose this opportunity caused them to grow pale. Furthermore, those Chosen that hadn't dared to challenge felt pressured. They could no longer just wait until the Earthly Saints lowered the requirements.
"Why couldn't they make it two hours after each challenge? Successful challenge?! That's too difficult!" A youth that wasn't a Chosen or prospective Chosen, yet could enjoy the tremendous resources that he would certainly never enjoy outside, screamed in frustration. This sentiment of his echoed in the minds of many others.
Suddenly, Lin Ming rose from his seated, cultivating position. His actions caught the notice of a curious Lin Xianxian, Lin Xianxei, a despondent Bai Yuxi, the Zhang Chosen duo, and all the rest of the True Element Sect.
Lin Ming looked toward Lin Xianxei and smiled, exuding confidence and youthful brilliance. "I'll see you in the Main Hall," Lin Ming's words were spoken with unquestionable belief as if those words were now going to manifest into reality just by speaking them aloud.
WOOSH!
SHATTER!
Without giving them a chance to react, he leaped upwards and breached the artificial gravity. With a smooth twist of his body, he landed on the stage with his eyes facing the Void Gate. Those grey eyes of his were suffused with battle intent.
The crowd was instantly shaken! This was the first cultivator from one of the Aeternal Sky Starfield! And, he was from one of the upper sections, meaning he came from a top-tier force! The excitement began rising amongst everyone.
A wave swept against Lin Ming, and then San Luoyang's voice resounded!
