93: Chapter 93 Realm Stabilization! Furnace Simulation! Facing the Crimson Moon!

Holy Calendar 1853, early winter.

After several days of light snow in Gino City, a rare sunny day finally arrived.

Snow Velvet Manor, top floor master bedroom.

Rowan slowly opened his eyes.

After a few days of consolidation, the majestic power brought by breaking through to Great Knight had completely stabilized.

With a slight thought, the panel expanded in his mind:

[born succubus more children more blessings system]

...

Silent Pilgrimage Archery lv3 (1458/5000)

...

The free attribute points were almost exhausted, but in exchange, he had gained power akin to a complete rebirth.

The lv3 Myriad Furnace Breathing Technique was as different from lv2 as a stream is from a river.

It wasn't just a leap in the total amount and quality of Battle Qi, but also a significant increase in mental power and a deepening understanding of the essence of power.

With just a slight thought, the various traits contained within the Battle Qi in his body were at his fingertips, harmonious and unobstructed, as if this power were innate to him.

A powerful sense of strength filled his entire body.

"It's time," he whispered to himself.

Today, he was going to attempt to refine the perfect-grade Breathing Technique he had just obtained—

Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique!

He walked to the carpet by the floor-to-ceiling window, sat down cross-legged, and casually waved his hand to set up several layers of [Bulwark] trait Battle Qi, forming a simple isolation barrier.

Then, his mind sank into the depths of his consciousness, and he began to study the perfect-grade Breathing Technique branded into his soul.

This Breathing Technique was profound and its concepts were bizarre.

Its circulation routes, energy nodes, and mental visualizations were all vastly different from the structure of humans or even ordinary transcendent creatures.

All its foundations were built upon the special life form known as the [Blood Clan].

The opening statement was clear:

For non-Blood Clan members who force its cultivation:

At best, bloodlines will clash and sanity will be lost.

At worst, the body will mutate, turning into a monster that only knows bloodlust, or it will explode and result in death.

Rowan was naturally not a member of the Blood Clan.

He attempted to follow the method described in the "Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique," forcibly guiding the Battle Qi in his body into those bizarre paths corresponding to things like "Blood Cores" and "Blood Energy Meridians."

The circulation of Battle Qi became extremely sluggish, and his meridians sent back strong sensations of rejection and swelling pain.

When he mentally visualized the [Red Moon] from the Breathing Technique's inheritance, he felt bursts of heart palpitations.

It felt as if his brain were about to explode.

As expected, it could not be cultivated directly.

But this was within his expectations.

He was not discouraged.

The reason he dared to attempt cultivation was precisely because of the [Myriad Manifestations Furnace] which had already been upgraded to lv3!

"Refining all methods, encompassing a hundred rivers..."

"Since I can't cultivate it directly, I'll first simulate a body that can!"

"Only by knowing the form can one refine the spirit!"

He concentrated all his mental energy, pushing his [Insight] trait to the limit, carefully analyzing every minute requirement for the energy operation required by the "Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique."

Simultaneously, the lv3 Myriad Manifestations Furnace began to slowly operate within his body, emitting a low rumble.

At the core of the furnace, a speck of pure, illusory purple light shimmered slightly.

Following Rowan's will, the [Myriad Phenomena] Battle Qi in his body began to undergo extremely subtle and complex changes.

He began to simulate the Blood Energy characteristics described in the "Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique," bringing the flow form, frequency, and even the resonance with his physical body as close as possible to the limit.

His muscle fibers adjusted their contraction frequency slightly under the stimulation of Battle Qi, and some normally unused capillary networks were forcibly opened and expanded by the Battle Qi.

With the assistance of the [Vitality] trait, his heartbeat rhythm was deliberately adjusted to be more powerful and slow, as if mimicking the powerful and long-lasting blood supply core of the Blood Clan...

Even the fluctuations of his mental power, under the absolute control of the [Frost Heart Realm], simulated that strange frequency mixed with coldness, hunger, and elegance.

This was an extremely dangerous and delicate process.

It was like walking on the edge of a cliff; a slight slip could truly trigger a backlash of sinister power or lead to injury due to a lack of coordination between the physical body and spirit.

But with the [Refining All Things] characteristic of the Myriad Manifestations Furnace as a cornerstone, he forcefully constructed a simulated environment within this "non-Blood Clan" body that could barely operate the "Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique" cycle!

The circulation of Battle Qi gradually went from sluggish to smooth, and those meridian paths that had originally rejected it seemed to temporarily accept this peculiar operation.

In his mental visualization, the phantom of the [Red Moon] also gradually became clear. Although it still brought discomfort, it no longer carried a strong sense of soul pollution.

Time passed bit by bit.

Rowan devoted himself entirely to it. Occasionally, an abnormal dark red flashed across the surface of his body, only to be quickly suppressed by the illusory purple glow of his Battle Qi.

After an unknown amount of time...

When the simulated [Blood Energy] completed a difficult but full major cycle along the complex and sinister paths of the "Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique"—

A sudden change occurred!

"Buzz!"

The lv3 Myriad Manifestations Furnace in his body suddenly jolted!

It wasn't from an impact, but an excited vibration as if it had encountered high-quality fuel!

The phantom of the [Red Moon] he was visualizing in his consciousness suddenly expanded, emitting an eerie light!

It wasn't a real scene, but rather a certain rule within the Breathing Technique that pointed directly to the origin, which he had successfully triggered!

In that instant—

Rowan's consciousness was forcibly elevated.

He seemed to penetrate the roof, penetrate the clouds, and saw a red moon hanging deep within the endless void!

It emitted a cold and blurry dark red glow, yet it also seemed filled with boundless temptation!

The Red Moon!

Huge! Ancient! Eternal!

It seemed to be the source of all blood, life, desire, corruption, and a certain ultimate power!

It hung silently, shining upon countless worlds, casting its crimson radiance.

Within that radiance were endless whispers, frantic praises, painful pleasures, and an infinite hunger for blood and souls!

"Red Moon... the source of the crimson..."

An epiphany flashed through Rowan's mind like lightning.

All deities, demons, monsters, and even beings that cultivated crimson power had the source of their power coming from this [Red Moon] hanging in the void!

From the inheritance in his mind, he learned that besides the Original Moon hanging high in the real world...

There were also three hidden moons.

They were the Silver Moon, the Red Moon, and the yellow moon.

These three moons respectively illuminated three completely different transcendent paths.

What the "Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique" communicated with and praised was precisely a tiny projection of this Red Moon's power!

At the moment this epiphany arose and he reached the deepest level of resonance with the artistic conception of the "Scarlet Hymn"—

The system's prompt surfaced with absolute clarity:

[Refinable Breathing Technique detected: Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique (Perfect)]

[Current Myriad Manifestations Furnace Level: lv3]

[ Meets smelting conditions！]

[Do you wish to activate the Myriad Manifestations Furnace to refine the essential traits of the Scarlet Hymn Breathing Technique?]

[Yes / No]

It worked!

Rowan was wild with joy!

The lv3 furnace could indeed refine a perfect-grade Breathing Technique!

Without any hesitation, his thought crashed down:

"Yes!"
