425: Late Xuanxiang, Xuanxiang Demon Shadow

After the Xia Emperor and Dugu Buzheng left, Xie Weilou also departed. He did not return to Tianqi City but went directly to the Great Xia Holy Academy.

Holy Academy.

Chunqiu Peak.

Inside the wooden house.

Xie Weilou sat cross-legged and softly said, "As Heaven maintains vigor through movements, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-perfection! Continue cultivating."

As the Xia Emperor said, the path of the Great Dao is endless. Those who walk this path are like a lone boat in the vast ocean, drifting with the current, easily losing direction.

But more often, many people don't even have the qualification to drift with the current; they will only capsize in the vast ocean, ultimately perishing.

To avoid capsizing and to go further, one must continuously improve their strength and become more powerful. Only then can they truly ride the wind and waves, thereby reaching the other shore.

"Perhaps I can start cultivating the Demon Refining Art!"

Xie Weilou waved his hand, and numerous demon cores appeared before him, including those from the Dao Repository Realm, Profound Manifestation Realm, and Dragon Transformation Realm.

"To be safe, I'll try with a Dao Repository Realm demon core first."

After a moment of thought, Xie Weilou picked up a Dao Repository Realm demon core.

"Demon Refining Art!"

He closed his eyes and, following the instructions of the Demon Refining Art, drew power into his body and circulated it through his meridians.

Buzz!

As the Demon Refining Art circulated, the power of this demon core was instantly drained, turning into dust.

Boom!

A violent surge of power instantly rushed into Xie Weilou's body, and the Demonic Qi rampaged within him, threatening to tear his body apart.

Demonic Qi is extremely violent, and ordinary cultivators cannot refine it at all.

The Demon Refining Art, however, can refine most of the Demonic Qi, transforming it into pure spiritual power.

"......"

Xie Weilou circulated the Demon Refining Art to its extreme, and the Demonic Qi was instantly refined, converting into extremely pure spiritual power.

However, a tiny trace of Demonic Qi remained hidden within his flesh and blood, difficult to completely refine.

If this Demonic Qi continued to accumulate, it would eventually erupt, corroding his body and soul.

"This is just a Dao Repository Realm demon core, and there's already a trace of Demonic Qi that's hard to refine. If I use Profound Manifestation Realm, Dragon Transformation Realm, or even Divine Court Realm demon cores, the hidden Demonic Qi will definitely be even more."

Xie Weilou introspected his body, pinpointing the location of that trace of Demonic Qi.

Then, with a thought, he activated the Demon Hand.

He had to try if the Demon Hand could devour this trace of Demonic Qi.

Within the Dantian.

The Demon Hand emitted a burst of demonic light, its vertical eye on the palm opened, and a devouring force surged forth.

The trace of Demonic Qi hidden within Xie Weilou's flesh and blood was immediately drawn into the depths of his Dantian and devoured by the Demon Hand.

"It seems Fourth Mr. was right; the Demon Hand can indeed devour Demonic Qi."

Xie Weilou breathed a sigh of relief.

He waved his hand, and ten Dao Repository Realm demon cores floated up. He circulated the Demon Refining Art, continuing to refine the demon cores.

After a few breaths.

These ten demon cores were refined, and the Demon Hand continued to devour the remaining Demonic Qi.

"......"

Xie Weilou was completely at ease. He no longer hesitated, circulating his cultivation technique to its maximum.

Boom!

All the surrounding demon cores floated up, their power being drawn out and continuously poured into Xie Weilou's body...

——————

First Princes Residence.

"Your Royal Highness, the Empress has left with His Majesty."

Xu-嬷嬷 respectfully bowed to Yan Junlin.

Yan Junlin paused for a second upon hearing this, then softly said, "It's good that she left! After all, no child wants their parents to know they are doing bad things."

Originally, he would have had some scruples and been unwilling to reveal too much, but now that the Xia Emperor and Dugu Buzheng had left, he no longer needed to pretend.

Next, he would fiercely contend.

"Great Harmony under Heaven is a Confucian ideal. You are merely practicing this ideal; what wrong have you done?"

Yan Qingcheng walked over. She did not believe Yan Junlin was doing anything wrong.

"I am not that noble. What I do is merely for my own selfish desires."

Yan Junlin smiled indifferently. If he wanted to use the Demonic Clan's hand to accomplish things, he naturally had to agree to some conditions from the Demonic Clan; it was merely a reciprocal exchange of benefits.

Yan Qingcheng did not continue the topic. She said indifferently, "I have sent the message back to the Demonic Clan. Three Divine Court Realm experts are willing to help you: one is Lord Ying Prefecture from my Heavenly Demonic Sect, one is an elder from the Ancient Demon Clan, and the last one is from the Blood Demon Clan. That one proposed a condition..."

"What condition?"

Yan Junlin asked.

It was normal for Ying Prefecture of the Heavenly Demonic Clan and the Ancient Demon Clan to be willing to help him. He was closest to the Heavenly Demonic Clan.

As for the Ancient Demon Clan, they knew he had a connection with an Ancient Demon senior, so they would definitely act.

But the Blood Demon Clan...

Yan Qingcheng's eyes flickered as she said, "That one from the Blood Demon Clan hopes that you will kill Xie Weilou when the time comes, and he also wants the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow!"

"Kill Xie Weilou?"

Yan Junlin raised an eyebrow. He stared at Yan Qingcheng: "I don't have a reason to confront Xie Weilou yet."

Yan Qingcheng shook her head and said, "This has nothing to do with me. I'm just telling you that person's condition. As for how to choose, it's entirely up to you, but if you can gain the support of another Divine Court Realm expert, your chances will be greater."

"We'll see!"

Yan Junlin showed a pensive expression.

To be honest, he didn't want to confront Xie Weilou. Calling him Brother Xie, whether it was fake or not, after calling him for so long, there was still some sentiment.

Sentiment was a small matter. The key was that he couldn't see through that guy. He had no confidence at all in confronting Xie Weilou.

Such an unfathomable existence, if they truly became mortal enemies, it would be troublesome.

"As you wish!"

Yan Qingcheng didn't say much more.

On the other side.

Princess's Residence.

"Reporting to Your Royal Highness, Nightingale has sent word that the West Chu Sword Immortal will arrive in Great Xia in ten days. She asks if you need any other support?"

A maid respectfully bowed to Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu said, "She has just established herself in West Chu; it's not suitable to make a big move. One West Chu Sword Immortal is enough. The key to this struggle lies with me!"

The West Chu Sword Immortal was naturally extraordinary.

However, the key to this struggle lay with herself. She did not believe she would lose, because she had two great killing weapons: the Blood Coffin and the Stone Embryo.

When the Stone Embryo appeared, how could others block it?

"Understood."

The maid bowed again.

......

Ten days later.

Chunqiu Peak, inside the wooden house.

Xie Weilou erupted with a terrifying pressure. After refining numerous demon cores, his cultivation advanced further, successfully stepping into the Profound Appearance Realm Late Stage. This breakthrough was relatively smooth.

With so many pills consumed before, combined with the power of numerous demon cores, such a massive power boost meant that this promotion did not surprise him.

During this breakthrough, his Profound Manifestation underwent another significant change.

Within his Dantian, the number of Netherworld Flowers increased significantly. The human figure sat amidst the Netherworld Flowers, with no major changes, and the demonic figure was the same, inverted behind the human figure.

However, beside it, another phantom appeared. This phantom, in human form, was covered in Demonic Qi, belonging to the Profound Manifestation Demonic Shadow...
