463: Refining the source of demonic energy

Fairy Xing Xuan watched her beloved daughter quietly, the sword-like sharpness in her cold gaze gradually softening into a hint of helplessness and doting.

Her daughter's Bloodline talent was poor, yet she was born in this realm,

and had even married a Demonic Path giant like Heart Without Demonic Intent... and the girl was both spoiled and stubborn.

After a moment of silence, Fairy Xing Xuan spoke slowly, her voice softening slightly but carrying an invisible power:

"Very well. Since you insist on going, I won't stop you. But this time, you cannot go alone."

She tapped her finger lightly in the Void Realm.

Buzz!

The space in the corner of the courtyard rippled and distorted,

and the figure of a middle-aged Cultivator dressed in dark blue martial attire, with a steady and resolute face,

and a stature as upright as a mountain, quietly emerged, silent and soundless.

His aura was deep and heavy, as if his entire body was integrated with the earth and stars,

yet it also faintly emitted a sharpness that could tear through the sky! His cultivation had surprisingly reached the Void Refinement Mid-stage!

Even more strangely, this person's aura was completely incompatible with the demonic evil of the Demon Region,

instead carrying a purity and vastness found only in the Heaven Region!

He knelt on one knee before Fairy Xing Xuan with utmost respect, bowing his head and clasping his fists: "Madam!"

"A Da," Fairy Xing Xuan said indifferently, her gaze falling on Xin Yuelan,

"this time, accompany the Young Miss on a trip to the Eastern Region.

You must ensure her safety, and at the same time... find a way to bring back her Dao Artifact embryo, the 'yanshen fetus'.

As for that Yao Delong..."

A trace of indifference flashed in her eyes, as if she were looking down at an ant,

"His life or death depends on fate. There is no need to cause unnecessary trouble. Ignore the bounty."

She didn't care at all about the life or death of a small Eastern Region native; the yanshen fetus was the primary goal.

"Yes! Madam! This subordinate will protect the Young Miss's safety even at the cost of my life! I will certainly retrieve the Dao fetus!"

The middle-aged Cultivator named "A Da" promised in a deep voice, his tone low and powerful, carrying the ring of metal and stone.

He stood up and took a step behind Xin Yuelan, like a loyal wall of iron and stone.

"Mother! You're the best to me!"

Xin Yuelan was overjoyed, her previous grievances swept away. She rushed forward to hug Fairy Xing Xuan's arm,

rubbing her small face against the cold star-diamond sleeve like a spoiled cat,

"A Da is an old-timer who followed you from the Heaven Region. With such a great expert of the Void Refining Realm protecting me,

who in the Eastern Region would dare touch a single hair on my head?"

She began to flatter wildly: "Mother is the most beautiful, powerful, and wisest Heavenly Immortal in the Demon Region!

Devising strategies and never failing a calculation! With Mother here, I'm not afraid of anything..."

On Fairy Xing Xuan's jade-like face, which had been cold for ten thousand years, there was an almost imperceptible twitch,

seemingly unable to bear her daughter's sentimentality.

She gently pulled her arm away, rubbed her brow, and said helplessly:

"That's enough, stop being so glib. Remember my words: think carefully when things happen, and do not act recklessly just because you have a protector.

The Eastern Region is not our Demon Region; it has its own rules and Karma. Do not overstep."

She flicked her finger, and an ice-blue talisman turned into a stream of light and disappeared into Xin Yuelan's brow,

"If there is a fatal crisis, crush it. It can trigger the Cold Star World-Protection to gain a slim chance of survival. Return quickly."

"I know, Mother!" Xin Yuelan stuck out her tongue, her smile brilliant.

She turned back to Luo Tianying, who had been standing silently to the side.

At this moment, Luo Tianying wore a strange black-and-red demonic-patterned long dress, her temperament cold and eerie,

her original charm now tinged with a heart-palpitating Evil Qi. Her cultivation had surprisingly stabilized at the Early Stage Spirit Transformation!

"Sister Tianying, I'll have to trouble you to accompany me to the Eastern Region again!"

Toward Luo Tianying, who was now a Sect Elder, Xin Yuelan's tone was also a bit more polite.

Luo Tianying bowed slightly, revealing a trace of deep-seated hatred and a cold smile:

"Don't worry, Young Miss. I 'miss' those 'old friends' from the Luoxia Peak lineage in the Eastern Region very much!"

Her fingertips unconsciously brushed over a pitch-black small pellet drum hanging at her waist, which emitted waves of wicked resentment—

that was the protective demonic treasure, the "Withered Bone Demonic Zither," bestowed upon her by the Sect Master after her promotion to Soul Transformation,

with living souls as strings and resentment as the charm! This trip was perfect for settling old scores!

Deep within the Demonic Heart Palace, under the crimson moonlight, the three figures quietly turned into a dim demonic light that merged into the shadows,

passing silently through the many Restriction barriers of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and heading toward the distant and turbulent Ba Xia Dynasty in the Eastern Region.

Ten thousand miles away, Luoxia Peak.

In the core Secret Chamber, the red stone platform breathed out the never-extinguishing Earth Lung True Fire,

its scorching red glow enveloping Yao Delong's seated figure, as if forging a piece of immortal divine gold.

His mind was calm as he looked internally at the increasingly bright and stable Soul Transformation Golden Sun deep within his Dantian sea.

"The hidden danger still remains..."

A trace of cold and heavy aura, like a maggot on a bone, was entwined deep within the Primordial Spirit Origin, weak but exceptionally stubborn.

That was precisely a wisp of Void Refining Realm Origin Devilish Qi that the Mad Extreme Demon Lord had forcibly struck into his body during a sneak attack that seriously injured him months ago!

On that day, if not for Junior Martial Uncle Dan Chenzi using heavenly methods to Seal and restrain it layer by layer,

this wisp of Devilish Qi would have already erupted, completely corroding his Primordial Spirit Foundation!

Now that he had broken into the Soul Transformation stage and his Primordial Spirit was stable, this former death warrant should become a stepping stone to the heavens!

{"text": "'Earth Core Blazing Flame Fire plus my own Natal Life-Generating Creation Fire, which I've refined for many years...'"}

Deep within the Dantian, a wisp of flame swirling with green and white colors rose up,

vitality and destruction merging strangely, turning into a lotus flower that constantly bloomed and withered.

"And the Void Flame Blazing Fire previously gifted by the Medicine Daoist!"

Another nearly transparent, flickering wisp of deep purple flame, carrying spatial scorch marks, emerged from the edge of the Primordial Spirit Golden Sun.

All three fires were ready!

One fire was fierce and domineering, specializing in burning the filth of the earth veins!

One fire combined hardness and softness, containing the wonders of creation and destruction!

One fire was mysterious and pervasive, able to follow cracks and penetrate everywhere!

"Refine!" Divine light surged in Yao Delong's eyes!

His vast Divine Thought, like a precise spiderweb, carefully connected with the layers of Primordial Spirit Seals laid down by the Dan Chenzi.

He didn't dare to break them violently, but instead followed the guidance left by his Junior Martial Uncle,

opening three extremely tiny 'valves' at the key nodes where the runes flowed.

Buzz!

Under the most exquisite control of Yao Delong's Divine Thought, the three clusters of Origin flames

turned into three fine lines of fire with different forms and blending colors, carefully following the three opened gaps

and probing into the core of the pitch-black Devilish Qi deep within the Primordial Spirit Origin, which was firmly suppressed by layers of radiant runes!

Sizzle—!!!

Like boiling oil poured on snow! A violent energy collision and annihilation erupted at the very core of the Primordial Spirit!

That pitch-black, viscous Void Refining Devilish Qi, which emitted an aura of endless devouring and decay, instantly went berserk!

The black Qi churned, transforming into ferocious Devil Head phantoms that roared and struggled, frantically battering the internal and external Seals!

The intense backlash and pain, like thousands of red-hot poisoned needles piercing his Sea of Consciousness simultaneously,

caused even someone with Yao Delong's current Soul Transformation Primordial Spirit strength to have his features contort instantly,

veins bulging on his forehead, and cold sweat soaking his Daoist robe!

"Hold steady for me! Refine!" Yao Delong ground his teeth, a low growl escaping his throat!

Under the command of his peerless Divine Thought, those three lines of fire managed to hold their ground!

The Earth Core Blazing Flame Fire turned into red lava, continuously burning the outer layer of corrosion and filth of the Devilish Qi;

The Void Flame Blazing Fire, like the most cunning scorpion, silently drilled into the internal core nodes along the gaps in the Devilish Qi's flow and detonated;

While the Life-Generating Creation Fire mediated in the center, its firepower, which contained the dao rhyme of life and death, was both grinding away the Devilish Qi Origin

and constantly wrapping and absorbing the pure energy dissipated after the Devilish Qi was refined, forcibly converting it into a tonic to nourish Yao Delong's Origin!
