But before he could get too excited, the records poured cold water on him.

“The blood refinement method can reconstruct the quality of the Gu worm’s bloodline against nature. It is extremely difficult.”

“I’ve only seen the description in the ancient books. I don’t know if it is true or not, but I have spent my entire life to fulfill my wish, so that the blood refinement method could reappear in the human world. It is a pity.”

“However, in order to prevent my life’s effort from being buried in the ground along with the bones, I would like to record my experience. The contents are as follows…”

After reading the entire paragraph, Fang Yuan frowned deeply.

It turned out that this senior from the Gu Demon Sect did not know what the blood refinement method was.

The manuscripts that were left behind was simply his research findings.

Moreover, he had not succeeded before.

This was a little…

Fang Yuan did not know how to describe it.

This content was useless, but not completely.

It gave him some insights.

But Fang Yuan did not dare to test it.

Who knew what kind of trouble a failed Gu refinement method would cause.

It might harm him.

“If it really does not work, I will use the Gu Immortal Sect’s Gu refinement methods to evolve the Bloodthirst Gu.”

Fang Yuan sighed. The Gu Immortal Sect’s Gu refinement methods had the greatest characteristic of being sure and steady, slowly improving while having a low error rate.

Even if there was a problem, the Gu worm would die as a result. It would not become a useless Gu and cause harm to others and the one refining it.

The Gu refinement methods recorded in Gu Demon Sect’s manual gave Fang Yuan the greatest impression of being ‘strange.’

He did not know how the brains of the senior experts of the Gu Demon Sect grew.

They could think of all sorts of fancy Gu refinement methods.

Anything weird, even the materials with clashing elements could be used together.

Although it was very difficult to succeed and it was very easy to make mistakes, once a Gu worm was formed, it would obtain strength several times, even tens of times stronger than before.

Such an exaggerated increase in strength was something that the Gu Immortal Sect had never seen before in their Gu refinement methods.

Fang Yuan stayed up all night to read the contents of the manuscript copied down by the system, he suddenly realized that there was more information regarding the Gu Demon Sect’s historical records.

It seemed that Bai Yao had given it to him by accident?

This was a rare thing, so it was good to study it and learn more.

Wait a minute…

Historical records?

Wasn’t this something that recorded the biographies of emperors?

Why was this term used?

Fang Yuan was curious and started reading with great interest.

It turned out that a long time ago, before the appearance of the Yan Shen Empire, Jiuzhou was still a complete continent.

There were more than eighty tribes of all sizes living on this land, each with their own territories, and they fought all year round.

Each tribe had their own unique Gu refinement methods. There was only a difference in strength, and no distiction between good and bad.

Among them, the humans who were good at using Gu and the monster race who were good at controlling Gu were the strongest, occupying almost half of Jiuzhou.

Gradually, the two tribes were no longer satisfied with their own territories, so they started to expand.

The other small tribes naturally became their targets.

After many years of conquest, Jiuzhou were finally controlled by the humans and the monster race.

At this time, the higher-ups of both sides finally pointed their spears at each other.

The so-called monster race was made up of beast-like creatures that absorbed enough natural spirit essence to evolve into demon beasts.

After a long time, they transformed into a human-like race that only retained part of their beast characteristics.

After evolving to this level, they were already very powerful. Even their newborn babies had the strength of the Enlightenment Realm.

It could be said that they were a race blessed by the heavens and had outstanding talent.

It was different from to the human race’s journey of starting from scratch.

Therefore, the human race was very wary of the monster race.

The monster race was also wary of the human race’s reproductive ability.

Although they were gifted, their reproductive ability was very limited. There were only a few newborns in the entire race each year.

As the human race’s strength continued to grow, the friction between the two races increased. Finally, one day, a great war broke out.

In that war, the human race gathered twelve experts at the tenth layer of the Tribulation Stage and fought to the death with the eight monster emperors at the peak of Jiuzhou.

In just five days, seven tribulation experts were killed and four were seriously injured.

The population of the entire human race was reduced by eighty percent, leaving only a group of old, young, women, and children.

Because of this, Jiuzhou collapsed and split into nine parts.

The monster race didn’t have an easy time either. Five of the eight monster emperors died in the battle, and two of them were seriously injured and at the brink of death.

At the price of all their blood essence, they integrated a part of the fragments of the continent into the distant sea, allowing the remaining monster race to survive.

The two races had fought, and the human race only came out with a bitter victory.

Later, the five experts split the Jiuzhou continent, and the remaining humans followed them.

Gradually, five countries were formed.

Yan Shen Tianzun, who had not been heavily injured after the war, was the first emperor of the Yan Shen Empire.

He had left behind seven descendants before his death.

One of them succeeded to the throne, while the others were given their own territories to lead.

As Gu masters, they were naturally unwilling to control cities and rule over mortals.

Thus, in order to cultivate, they searched for places with abundant spirit essence in their territories, establishing their sects and inviting all those with ambitions to cultivate together.

The various sects combined the Gu refinement methods left behind by the other tribes in their territories and combined them to form their unique methods.

The Gu Immortal Sect was born during that time.

At that time, the disciples in the sect had a lot of knowledge but their progress was very slow, thus someone proposed to integrate Gu refinement methods and reorganize them.

The proposal was indeed very effective.

As time passed, the sect was also divided into two cultivation factions.

One faction advocated rapid progress, while the other emphasized slow and steady progress.

The former’s progress was very fast, but in the process of Gu refinement and cultivation, it was very easy to die.

The extremely high death rate made the other faction very unhappy, and the sect master even gave an order to make the Gu refinement methods of this faction a forbidden technique, and they could never be used again.

The person who benefited the most in this faction was the vice sect master. How could he agree to such an order? In a fit of anger, he led nearly half of his disciples to betray the sect and establish their own sect, naming it the Gu Demon Sect.

Fang Yuan read the entire story in one breath, and he was shocked.

“Who would have thought that the Gu Immortal Sect and Gu Demon Sect had such a relationship.”

This was already a sect secret, and ordinary people did not have the right to know.

If Fang Yuan had not met this unknown senior from the Gu Demon Sect, he would not have known about this history in his entire life.

His thoughts started to flow.

“Since the two sects used to belong to the same sect, and everyone’s Gu refinement methods are of the same origin, in that case, can I fuse the blood refinement method’s insights with the Gu Immortal Sect’s current methods, and extract its essence while removing its dregs?”
