The memories of the Yin specters allowed Yi Yun to understand Blood Moon.
Originally, Yi Yun imagined Blood Moon to be a large, hidden organization. However, Yi Yun found it hard to imagine how such a large organization could hide itself so well that no one knew of it.
Now, Yi Yun understood.
Firstly, Blood Moon was not as large as Yi Yun had imagined.
There were only ten people in the upper echelons of Blood Moon. These ten people had extraordinary strength. They were the decision makers of Blood Moon and had the most terrifying combat power.
Among the ten people, six of them were in charge of the Martial Alliance. Among these six people was the current Alliance Leader of the Martial Alliance, as well as three Grand Elders.
Over the tens of millions of years, the Martial Alliance was at times strong and at times weak. It had even changed its name a few times. In the intervening 15 million years, the Martial Alliance had even disappeared intermittently from the world.
The Martial Alliance was not as it was advertised, that it had lasted for tens of millions of years.
Actually, it was not easy for a heritage to exist for tens of millions of years. Many heritages and family clans would often exist for hundreds of thousands of years before suddenly being destroyed due to some accident. Especially in the Tian Yuan world, which was filled with battles, those that could exist for more than a million years were already impressive ancient family clans.
However, Blood Moon was able to smoothly pass down its heritage. Blood Moon was able to do all of this because of the Yin specters and reincarnation techniques!
By abandoning their bodies, Yin specters had a lifespan that far exceeded ordinary warriors. Especially when Yin specters slept underground, their life force would stop flowing. A Yin specter with a profound cultivation level could even sleep for hundreds of millions of years without dying.
Most of Blood Moon had very few Blood Moon members that actually walked the world.
In the intervening 15 million years, there were no Blood Moon members that walked the world.
More than 90% of Blood Moon's members were Yin specters. They slept in extremely Yin and extremely cold lands, not seeing the light of day for tens of millions of years. They used the evil aura in the cold lands to nourish their souls, allowing them to live forever.
As long as there were Yin specters, they could awaken a portion of the Yin specter every once in a while, allowing Blood Moon's heritage to continue.
Although Yin specters had such long lifespans, they also had a huge flaw.
That was, they were only soul bodies. They needed to possess someone else's body to walk the world.
The pure soul bodies of Yin specters did not use any cultivation techniques, nor could they use laws. Only by possessing a body could they have combat strength.
The strength of the Yin Specter after possession depended on the Yin Specter itself as well as the talent of the possessed.
The better the talent of the possessed, the higher the compatibility between the physical body and the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. The more power the Yin specters could use, the stronger the nomological power they could unleash.
As for the strength of the person who had been possessed and their understanding of the Laws, Yin specters could not be used, so it was useless no matter how strong they were.
This was because the Yin specters were extremely cold and filled with the aura of death. Once they took over a body, they would quickly overdraft the body's Qi and blood. Therefore, the Yin specters would usually only target young people to take over. This way, their bodies could be used for a longer period of time.
The Yin Specters that had completed the Possession could not cultivate. Their strength was fixed after the Possession and could not increase anymore.
Only when they were in deep slumber as Baleful Yin Bodies could they rely on absorbing the Baleful Yin energy of Heaven and Earth to slowly increase their strength.
This was the biggest flaw of the Yin Specters. They were not strong enough.
With just this kind of strength, it was not enough to support a powerful organization that could command the world.
Hence … Blood Moon had another type of person, the Reincarnators.
Reincarnators were different from Yin specters. Reincarnators could go through multiple reincarnations, allowing them to gain insights into the laws and their understanding of cultivation techniques. This made them invincible against their peers, and they had almost no bottlenecks in their cultivation. From Sages, Empyreal Kings, to the Patriarchs of various large factions, there were even quite a number of people who could surpass Patriarchs.
Reincarnators were extremely powerful. As long as they appeared, they would be the true controllers of Blood Moon.
However, Reincarnators faced another problem. That was their short lifespans.
The "Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Grand Technique" that Reincarnators cultivated was not considered a top mystic technique in the 12 Empyrean Heavens. Cultivating the "Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Grand Technique" had too many side effects. Every reincarnation would burn a portion of their life force. As such, the accumulated lifespans of these Reincarnators were only a fraction of that of ordinary warriors at the same realm.
However, as most of them had cultivation levels that exceeded a sect's Patriarch, they could live for more than a hundred thousand years. There were even a few that could live for hundreds of thousands of years.
The time that these Reincarnators lived became extremely precious.
Every time they reincarnated, they would usually experience a long period of time. During this period, they would return to the Heaven and Earth in a completely unconscious soul state, waiting for their reincarnation.
The entire Blood Moon was formed by Reincarnators and Yin specters. They cooperated with each other and performed their own duties, ensuring that Blood Moon could continue on for tens of millions of years. Furthermore, no one noticed the true nature of this organization.
Over the years, the Blood Moon that people saw was just the power that they revealed on the surface.
Now, as Blood Moon was about to fully carry out their operations, the Reincarnators had gathered together.
The ten upper echelons of the Martial Alliance were Reincarnators that had completed their reincarnation thousands of years ago, or even tens of thousands of years ago. Their strength exceeded that of a large sect's Patriarch.
Other than these ten people, Blood Moon had more than thirty Reincarnators that had not completed their reincarnation for long. As they had only cultivated for a short period of time, their cultivation realms were limited, so they could not take charge.
And there were about ten of them who were not even twenty-five years old. These young Reincarnators were gathered in the Heavenly Blood Union. For example, Young master Fengming was one of them.
These Reincarnators were idolized by the Heavenly Blood Union members due to their extraordinary strength. It was also because of people like Young master Fengming that more and more elites chose to join the Heavenly Blood Union.
Other than these Reincarnators, there were dozens of Yin specters that had completed their possession. They were active in the Heavenly Dao Union, Greatsword Mountain and other places, performing their duties.
Amongst them, "Shentu Nantian", the thin man and the swarthy youth that previously appeared in the God Advent Tower were the stronger Yin specters.
These were nearly all the core strength of Blood Moon.
That also meant that there were only about a hundred Blood Moon members.
As for the others, they were just Martial Alliance members. Although these people were working hard for Blood Moon, they did not know that the Martial Alliance was controlled by Blood Moon, nor did they know Blood Moon's goal.
However, Blood Moon's true strength was not limited to this.
Blood Moon also had a large number of Yin specters that were slumbering in a land of extreme Yin and extreme cold. These Yin specters had been slumbering ever since the ancient calamity tens of millions of years ago, without ever awakening.
These ancient and terrifying Yin specters had been in slumber for too long, receiving the nourishment of the evil aura in the land of extreme Yin. Now, their bodies were extremely powerful, much more powerful than the Yin specter that had possessed "Shentu Nantian".
And this land of extreme Yin and extreme cold was the destination of the Heavenly Dao Union's "Blackstone Trials"!
