I can feel the four-petaled black lotus burning fiercely within me, and I can also sense something in the depths of the void, as if calling out to me...
So, the only time I went there, I immediately escaped right after entering.
Later, I generally understood, even though I possess Profound Yellow Material, it is of no use."
Song Yanqi asked, "Why?"
The Black Lotus Elder replied, "Because my Lifebound Secret Technique is already filled with this four-petaled black lotus fire, and wherever this fire exists, the Profound Yellow Material simply cannot solidify."
Song Yan pondered slightly and roughly figured out the process.
This fire might very well be a flame born from the void. The Netherworld Corpse Demon unwittingly got contaminated with a tiny spark, then used its body to withstand it. Once it descended to the mortal world for a clash, it accelerated the burning of the flame, thereby being consumed by it, and somehow transformed into a seed acquired by the Black Lotus Elder.
This is certainly no small fortune.
Yet the Black Lotus Elder succeeded because of this fire and also met his downfall with it.
The current circumstances prove that this fire not only devours others but its bearer as well.
Song Yan suddenly recalled the mysterious light source of the Light of the Void he encountered upon entering the void world.
There is no doubt that there are numerous secrets hidden within the void, and those secrets... are not something he can touch upon now.
"Thus, I have almost understood everything. Our contract is fulfilled, and now I bid farewell."
Song Yan nodded slightly and then immediately transformed into escape light and departed.
When he seized the "Heaven-Damaging Pill Bottle," he already realized it was a fake, which was why he pretended to leave.
Of course, if the Black Lotus Elder didn’t chase after him, then he... was genuinely prepared to strike.
...
...
Days later...
Near the Dust Light Sect.
A secret cave with little Profound Qi, overgrown with weeds and hanging wild vines, with the distant sound of a babbling stream.
Song Yan was cultivating here.
The reason he came here was that the Black Lotus Elder, under Han Cai’Er’s persuasion, also came to the Dust Light Sect, intending to join both righteous and demonic cultivators there to resist the Celestial Calamity Beast.
Song Yan was indeed quite interested in the "Four-Petaled Black Lotus Fire," yet he planned to observe a bit more to determine if he should seize the fire and whether he could control it.
Meanwhile, he was sitting cross-legged, carefully recollecting the Ancient Purple Mansion Cultivation Method "Profound Heart Body" he had read that day. After deliberation, he swallowed the "Heaven-Damaging Pill."
[In the 1000th year, due to the lack of True Spirit Light, you painstakingly cultivated the "Profound Heart Body" to perfection, and you have broken through to the Ancient Purple Mansion Realm]
[In the 6100th year, you further deduced the "Profound Heart Body" and comprehended the "Great Profound Heart Body"]
[In the 103050th year, you perfectly mutated the "Great Profound Heart Body," deducing it twice, and subsequently comprehended the "Eight Desolates Profound Heart Body"]
[After comprehending the "Eight Desolates Profound Heart Body," you vaguely felt a mystical bond forming between your Lifebound Secret Treasure and your body. But this bond previously existed only with the Divine Infant]
[You pondered for a long time and suddenly grasped an inexplicable realization. The "Eight Desolates Profound Heart Body" is definitely not the pinnacle. Likely, above the Ancient Purple Mansion Realm, there is the Ancient Divine Infant Realm. Once you reach the Ancient Divine Infant Realm and comprehend the realm, you might be able to harmonize "True Body," "Lifebound Realm Embryo," and "Divine Infant" into one]
[However, to your knowledge, you have seemingly never seen similar existences. Even as described in the "Divine Wind Void Scripture," it only speaks of "Lifebound Realm Embryo" and "Divine Infant." At this realm, the "True Body" is already insignificant]
Song Yan slowly opened his eyes.
He secretly mused: If it weren’t for the century of skin-making at the ancestral vein of the Formless Ancient Race, amassing over two million years of lifespan, today it would not suffice. That True Spirit Light is indeed indispensable. Unfortunately, now in this world, there is not a trace left.
Song Yan clenched his fist, sensing his current physique.
The "Eight Desolates Profound Heart Body" allowed him to feel a power nearly equal to that of the Netherworld Corpse Demon.
In other words, at this moment, his physique was on par with the Netherworld Corpse Demon.
Suddenly, he thought of the Mountain and Sea Demon.
The blood of the Mountain and Sea Demon has special properties.
The Ancient Race, on the other hand, has divine soul secret techniques.
If the divine soul secret techniques of the Ancient Race originate from ancestral souls, could it be said that the Mountain and Sea Demon possess the bloodline secret technique?
If so, cultivating "Lifebound Realm Embryo" and "Divine Infant" is the cultivation method for humans, but could "Lifebound Realm Embryo" and "True Body" be the path for the Mountain and Sea Demon?
Achieving a stronger true body will lead to mastering bloodline secret techniques.
Yet now, many demons have also taken the path of human cultivation. Ultimately, this is because the heavens have destroyed teachings and techniques, lacking True Spirit Light, causing everyone to cultivate chaotically.
But he does not have to compromise, and he can attempt to cultivate both "human paths" and "demon paths," thus making the future promising.
However, the "demon magic technique" still needs to be sought in the Mountain and Sea Demon Country.
