It could be said that the growth of every Holy Seed was a life and death crisis. This was because in the process of refining new Holy Blood to increase one's own Holiness, the risks were too great.
However, they had no choice but to take this risk because if their Holiness was not as good as other Holy Seeds, their life and death would not be under their control.
Take Lan Qiyue's situation as an example. If Lu Ye had not made arrangements and arrived in time, she would have been killed by Holy Sage Mo Hai on the spot. Even the Holy Blood she had refined would have become a gift for others.
Lu Ye did not know about this.
However, the situation did not seem right because according to Lan Qiyue's words, refining Holy Blood with a stronger Holiness than one's own meant death.
But Lu Ye had already done this before, so he didn't notice any risks at all. Everything went smoothly.
Of course, Lan Qiyue was not lying to him. There were only two possibilities for him to be so successful. The information Lan Qiyue received was fake, or there was something special about him.
Lu Ye was more inclined towards the latter possibility!
The burning of the Talent Tree could refine all impurities and things harmful to oneself. Holy Blood was a miraculous thing that could change a human into a Blood Clan. However, it could only provide Lu Ye with a huge amount of energy and could not change the foundation of a human. This was because the miraculous thing in Holy Blood was harmful to oneself, so it was burned by the Talent Tree.
Thinking about it, it must be because of the burning of the Talent Tree that Lu Ye was able to avoid the risk of the Holy Seed when refining Holy Blood. This risk could have caused great harm to Lu Ye.
In other words, he could refine Holy Blood at will and continuously increase his Holiness without taking any risks.
As for whether it was what he thought … he would know after trying!
With a thought, Lu Ye opened his mouth and directly threw the drop of Holy Sage Mo Hai's Holy Blood into his mouth.
Lan Qiyue turned pale with fright. "Senior Brother!"
She did not understand. She had clearly told Senior Brother about the taboo of refining Holy Blood. Why did Senior Brother still take such a risk?
"Don't panic. I have confidence!" Lu Ye softly shouted. Then, he closed his eyes and activated the Gluttonous Meal to refine the power of the saint blood that he had swallowed.
As time passed, Lan Qiyue watched anxiously.
But miraculously, Lu Ye did not seem to be in any danger at all. He sat there quietly, the spiritual energy and aura around him fluctuating together. This was a sign of his strength slowly increasing. Moreover, the Divine Nature that permeated from Lu Ye's body was also increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lan Qiyue was amazed. She couldn't understand what Lu Ye had done. How could he be safe and sound after swallowing a drop of Blood Essence?
For a moment, he wondered if there was something wrong with the information he had gathered.
Just as Lu Ye began to refine the drop of Holy Blood, the Blood Race armies gathered in the four directions of the Divine Gate Sea also arrived at the appointed time. Under the command of the Holy Seeds, the armies in the four directions moved out at the same time, rushing towards the Divine Gate Sea like a swarm of locusts.
The number of Holy Seeds they had was much higher than before. In addition, there was a gap in the defensive line of the Holy Land of Jade Blood. It could be said that the Blood Race was determined to win this war!
At the same time, in the cultivation world of the Nine Prefectures, almost all the cultivators above the Divine Ocean Tier had a mysterious feeling. The day of the expedition to the Blood Refinement Realm was not far away!
It was self-evident where this feeling came from. Thus, even though the feeling was mysterious, the Divine Ocean Tier cultivators believed it without a doubt. They began to prepare even more intensely.
The news was constantly passed down from the higher-ups. In just a few days, the huge Cloud River Battlefield suddenly became empty. Almost all the Cloud River Tier cultivators left this place and returned to their own sects.
This was definitely the biggest spectacle in the history of the Nine Prefectures. Ever since the Cloud River Battlefield, this place had been the stage for the Cloud River Tier cultivators to be active. Every day, there would be noise and excitement. There had never been a day when it had become so empty.
Many cultivators gathered at the Jade Blood Sect's main peak, with Shui Yuan as their leader.
The Jade Blood Sect now had a total of four Divine Ocean Tier cultivators: the sect leader, Yun Xuechu, Shui Yuan, and Lu Ye. Strictly speaking, Yun Xuechu was not a member of the Jade Blood Sect. She was just a loose cultivator. Thus, she would not participate in this expedition to the Blood Refinement Realm. She could stay behind to guard the sect.
Someone had to stay behind to guard the sect in case anything happened.
It was inevitable that the Headmaster would go to the Blood Refining Realm. Because of Lu Ye, he now had more and more authority in the Force Province. He was even one of the leaders of the newly established Cultivator Army of the Force Province. In addition, the expedition to the Blood Refining Realm was led by Lu Ye, so he would definitely participate in it.
However, it was precisely because he was the leader of the army of the War Province that he could leave everything in the sect to Shui Yuan.
Shui Yuan was not weak now, and she was also a medical cultivator. In any large-scale battle, the role of medical cultivators could not be ignored. This was especially true for Divine Ocean Tier medical cultivators. They were absolutely indispensable talents.
There were many cultivators gathered here, but only a small portion belonged to the Jade Blood Sect. Moreover, most of them were in the Cloud River Tier. Only Yiyi and Giant Armor were in the True Lake Tier. At most, there was also Hu Po.
Most of them were from the Ziwei Daoist Palace!
As a subordinate sect of the Jade Blood Sect, the Ziwei Daoist Palace had not been in the Nine Continents for long. Therefore, they had not produced any Divine Ocean Tier cultivators. On the contrary, there were many cultivators in the True Lake Tier. This was because when they were in the Wushuang Continent, the Ziwei Daoist Palace had many cultivators who had reached the limit of the Cloud River Tier but could not break through. After coming to the Nine Continents, many of them had broken through to the True Lake Tier.
Pang Huanyin and Shui Yuan worked together and decided to combine the disciples of the two sects. This way, they could complement each other.
No one knew the exact time of the great battle, so all they could do was to gather their forces and wait quietly.
In the Bright Moon Cave in the Blood Refinement Realm, Lu Ye spent several days refining the Saint Blood of Saint Mo Hai. Just like before, he did not feel any danger.
His own Saint Nature had improved a lot, but not as much as he had imagined.
This was understandable. The improvement of one's Saint Nature was not a simple addition, but a more complicated state. It could be said that the stronger one's Saint Nature was, the harder it was to improve it.
However, Lu Ye estimated that in the current Blood Refining World, his own saintly nature should be considered the strongest among all the saint seeds. Perhaps there were saint seeds with a stronger saintly nature than his own, but there would not be too many of them, because there were not many saint seeds to begin with.
In addition to the improvement of his Saint Nature, there was also an increase in his cultivation. Although he did not break through to the next realm, Lu Ye felt that he had taken a big step forward from the Fifth-Order Realm. This was because every drop of Saint Blood contained a huge amount of energy, which was of great help to his strength improvement.
Over the past few days, Lan Qi Yue had been nervously paying attention to Lu Ye's movements, fearing that something would happen to him. Fortunately, Lu Ye's state was very stable from the beginning to the end.
This surprised Lan Qi Yue, but on second thought, her Senior Brother was a human and even had the Saint Nature of a Saint Seed. Moreover, he was stronger than Saint Mo Hai, so it was not strange that there were no uncontrollable risks when refining the Saint Blood.
However, at this moment, the pressure she felt facing Lu Ye was undoubtedly much greater.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother!" Seeing Lu Ye open his eyes, Lan Qi Yue spoke.
Lu Ye gently nodded, his expression neither sad nor happy. After pondering for a moment, he turned his head to look at Lu Chang, who was standing respectfully to the side, "You can leave." Lu Chang bowed and hurriedly retreated.
After he left, Lu Ye looked at Lan Qi Yue and gestured with his hand, "Sit!"
Lan Qi Yue sat in front of Lu Ye obediently.
Lu Ye pondered for a moment before saying, "Since you call me Senior Brother, I will accept you as a disciple of Blue Blood Sect on behalf of my Sect Master!"
Lan Qi Yue tilted her head and looked puzzled, "Blue Blood Sect?"
There were no Sects in the Blood Refinement Realm, and because of the unique way of growth of the Blood Race, there was no such thing as a family. All Blood Race cultivators only had one mother, the underground Blood River. It was the Blood River that gave birth to them and allowed them to grow quickly, so they naturally did not need a family.
This was also the reason why the Blood Race would take the name of the first human they killed for their own use. When they walked out of the Blood River, no one gave them a name, so they could only use this method to obtain their own name.
Lan Qi Yue did not know about Lu Ye's background before, and Lu Ye had never told her about this.
If Lan Qi Yue was really from the Blood Race, even if there was some friendship between them, Lu Ye would not tell her too much. However, she was still a human after all. It was only because she refined a drop of Sacred Blood by chance that she became a Blood Race.
Although there were changes in the race, the heart of the human race had never changed.
Therefore, Lu Ye felt that there were some things that she should know.
"The Jade Blood Sect is a sect in a realm called the Nine Regions, and I come from that realm called the Nine Regions!"
Lu Ye explained some of the situation in Nine Regions and his own origin. Lan Qi Yue's beautiful eyes lit up and she was fascinated.
As a human born in the Blood Refining Realm, she had lived under the slavery and oppression of the Blood Race since she was young. She had always lived in fear. She had never thought that there was another world in this world, a world that was purely dominated by the human race!
And the Senior Martial Brother that she respected the most actually came from such a region.
There were no Blood Race in that world, so there was no need to be alarmed. That world was dominated by the human race, and there were many clans and sects. That world was so beautiful that it made people yearn for it.
"There is a Holy Land of Blue Blood in the Southern Border, which was founded by the cultivators of Nine Regions. The last time I left from here, I went to the Southern Border and met many people there. After that, I returned to Nine Regions. A few months ago, I came back from Nine Regions."
Lan Qi Yue only felt her heart beating wildly. There was actually another world in this world, a world that was purely dominated by the human race!

Lan Qi Yue only felt her heart beating wildly. "Can the Blood Refining Realm and Nine Regions … interact with each other?"
If so, then the world called Nine Regions was even more desirable.
