When Liu Wei woke up, he felt revitalized.
He then began to explore the Reflection Hall, or the Body and Command of his personal chamber.
It was a larger sub-chamber behind a transparent jade wall, serving as Liu Wei’s direct interface with the entire Library System.
It contained the Mirror of Dominion, which was a tall, rippling mirror of liquid silver that connected Liu Wei to the Library’s core intelligence. It can display realm conditions, puppet status, and even replay events occurring within sub-domains.
Hence, he did not need to check each domain one by one and simply proceeded to the Mirror of Dominion for quick and smooth access.
There was also the Puppet Core Nexus, which were floating orbs connected by fine golden threads representing all active puppet networks (Archivists, Scribes, Farrs, etc.). Liu Wei can interact with them directly to issue commands, recalibrate formations, or awaken dormant systems.
Lastly, the Dao Seat of Continuity, which was a throne-like ditation chair grown from fused bamboo and crystal runes — it balances comfort and cultivation. Sitting here, Liu Wei’s mind can traverse realms without leaving his physical form, enabling inter-domain supervision.
According to the System, the main purpose of the Reflection Hall was to monitor, govern, and harmonize the living systems of the Library. The Reflection Hall turned managent into ditation — control as comprehension.
After so ti, Liu Wei imdiately decided to return to the ditation Garden and proceeded to ditate to break through the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
When he sat in the ditation Garden, he instantly heard the Silent Bell rung with intent, quickly silencing his stray thoughts and clearing his mind.
He was unable to appreciate the effectiveness of how calm he was in the present state.
He said, "System, you can now deduct all my System Points to unlock the Stage 2 of the Blood Demonheart Sutra."
[Understood. The Stage 2 of the Blood Demonheart Sutra requires 1,000 System Points.
You only have 270 Points...
After all the deductions of the System Points and taking the loan, you are 730 System Points in debt.]
Liu Wei nodded.
He mumbled, "It’s fine."
"What is, Big Brother?" Rhayven asked.
Liu Wei smiled and said, "Nothing. Prepare yourself now, I will be having a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishnt Stage."
Rhayven imdiately replied, "I’m always ready, Big Brother!"
Liu Wei nodded and humd in delight.
He then suddenly received information about the Stage 2 of the Blood Demonheart Sutra.
He sat in his lotus position and waited to completely assimilate the information.
After a while, the System said, [You have now learned the Stage 2 of the Blood Demonheart Sutra, Pulse of Chains.]
Liu Wei nodded.
He mumbled every sentence of what he learned about the Pulse of Chains, "After constructing the spiritual foundation, the cultivator begins the Pulse of Chains — the forging of Blood Chains through their ridians and vital organs.
These chains bind their internal corruption, transforming the body into a demonic vessel that channels Blood Qi without collapse. This stage focuses entirely on organ refinent and blood qi mastery.
Each organ must be bound, shackled, and awakened through six Blood Chains — collectively forming the Six Shackles. Only by completing all six can one achieve the "Demonheart Ascendancy", transforming their heart into a Demonheart Furnace, a pseudo-dantian that endlessly circulates Blood Qi."
A Demonheart Ascendancy was pretty much similar to the Crimson Chain Overdrive.
However, their effects have a massive distinct difference, of course.
Liu Wei was about to get excited to break through to the Foundation Establishnt Stage when he realized it was not easy.
He needed to prepare a blood refinent ritual.
It was called "Nine Veins of Corruption."
Only by completing it would help him ascend to the Qi Condensation Stage.
Liu Wei was about to stand up and searched for the essence of demonic qi when he realized the ditation Garden has a Manifestation of Stones.
He opened his eyes and said, "Manifest the Dao of Demon."
The Manifestations Stones surrounding him slowly manifested the Dao of Demon, providing rich demonic intent and qi throughout the ditation of Garden.
As ti passed by, it began to overwhelm Liu Wei.
Thankfully, he managed to keep his sanity intact.
Rhayven, on the other hand, was shivering nonstop and Liu Wei instantly noticed it.
He patted it and asked, "Can you handle it?"
Rhayven did not respond verbally but Liu Wei received his assurance from its subtle ssage.
Liu Wei nodded and smiled.
"Good. You are brave, Rhayven. You can do it. Cultivate with ."
Liu Wei closed his eyes and focused on the blood refinent.
He consud a lot of demonic qi to thicken his blood with dark essence.
Then he forced his Blood Qi through the nine major veins until they sear open.
As a result, it burns corruption runes into his ridians.
After a while, the impure qi naturally converges into the heart, forming a black-red crystallization called the Demonheart Seed — a pseudo-core made of coagulated Blood Qi and willpower.
Liu Wei stabilized the Nine Veins of Corruption ritual before taking a quick rest to move into the next brutal internal transformation ritual called "The Heart-Bleed Ascension."
Liu Wei thought.
So this is the embryo of the Demonheart Furnace to co.
That was the result of the completion of the NIne Veins of Corruption ritual.
Liu Wei proceeded to the Heart-Bleed Ascension Ritual.
He first circulated his qi until every ridian vibrated with heat.
Then, a single Blood Qi Strand was thrust directly into his heart, igniting the Demonheart Seed.
Hence, his body was engulfed in Blood Mist and all nine veins ruptured simultaneously.
At this point, according to the Blood Demonheart Sutra, he must maintain his consciousness to survive in this part of the process.
Thankfully, Liu Wei was already used to such a level of agony.
Eventually, the ruptured veins heal as Blood Chains runic constructs, which stabilized the new demonic circulation system.
At this instant, the mortal heart becos partially demonic — and the Foundation Establishnt Stage begins...
