Soul Devouring Body Tempering Technique

Northern Border.

At this moment, Chu Fan was soaked in a vat of black liquid, with a large fire burning beneath the cauldron.

Judging by his complexion, it seemed as if he was almost cooked through.

As time passed, Chu Fan's breathing gradually became erratic. The intense surrounding heat made him furrow his brows, and a large amount of sweat dripped into the unidentified black liquid.

At this moment, a set of footsteps reached Chu Fan's ears. Without opening his eyes, he asked directly, "Brother Jiang Wang, is that you?"

"It's me. This Medicinal Quenching Method still requires six more hours. Chu Fan, you must persevere. If you relax even slightly, all your previous efforts will be in vain!"

"I understand, Brother Jiang Wang. I can still hold on!"

In order to suppress the Remnant Soul of Taotie, Jiang Wang had introduced a Medicinal Quenching Method to Chu Fan.

First, one needed to collect medicinal herbs to refine a medicinal liquid. Then, the liquid was poured into a large cauldron, and Chu Fan would soak his naked body inside the Medicine Cauldron for tempering.

During this period, Chu Fan also had to circulate a Cultivation Technique specifically designed to complement the Medicinal Quenching Method.

The entire process required twenty-four hours.

Chu Fan had to persevere throughout; once he gave up, all previous efforts would be wasted.

The remaining six hours were an ordeal for Chu Fan.

There was not only the roasting of his physical body but also a pain coming from the depths of his Soul.

Chu Fan also found it very strange. Since he possessed the Blazing Sun Fire Body, he should be top-tier when it came to enduring heat.

Why was it ineffective against this heated medicinal liquid?

Just then, a cool and viscous liquid was poured over Chu Fan's head, alleviating the burning sensation in his body.

He knew this was Jiang Wang adding new medicinal liquid. Whenever this happened, he could feel a moment of relief.

If Chu Fan could open his eyes, he might have seen what had just been poured over him.

Whether it was the medicinal liquid poured over him or the black liquid boiling in the cauldron, they all actually originated from one thing—human blood.

As a Demonic Path Cultivator, nothing was a more useful cultivation material than human lives.

Even the fuel burning under the cauldron right now was a pile of Cultivators' remains.

They used their own remains to turn into fierce flames, helping Chu Fan suppress the Remnant Soul of Taotie within his body.

Looking at Chu Fan soaking inside, Jiang Wang nodded with satisfaction.

What he had given Chu Fan was not some medicinal quenching technique at all, but one of the top-tier Demonic Path techniques, the "Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art."

Supplementing blood with blood and Soul with Soul—this was the cultivation method of the "Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art."

Such a violent effect naturally had downsides for the Cultivator.

Once this technique was cultivated, the Cultivator's personality and even their Soul would become abnormal, becoming extremely violent and craving slaughter.

The entire process was irreversible; a Cultivator who practiced this technique would only sink deeper and deeper.

Once Chu Fan was sent back to the Righteous Path, he would become the most important pawn for the Demonic Path against the Three Saints Sect.

Coupled with the 'taotie feast spirit' Magic Treasure, Chu Fan would eventually degenerate into a heartless killing machine for the sake of stronger cultivation.

As the source of all his emotions, Su Ming would naturally become Chu Fan's primary target.

Given the other's status, Chu Fan definitely couldn't kill Su Ming, but wounding him would absolutely not be a problem.

If their child was injured, it was believed that no parent would be able to sit idly by.

When that time came, the Three Saints Sect would surely be held accountable by those two Heavenly Dao Realm Supremes. If handled poorly, even the destruction of the sect was a possibility.

There were only so many in the Star Realm on the Qianyuan Continent, and most of them were within the Three Saints Sect.

Once the Three Saints Sect was destroyed, what kind of waves could that bunch of combat-incapable alchemists from the Jixia Academy and Medicine Spirit Valley possibly make?

The entire Qianyuan Continent would be in the palm of their Demonic Path.

Looking at Chu Fan in the cauldron, Jiang Wang's gaze became even more fervent.

At this moment, this Disciple of the Three Saints Sect could be said to carry the future hope of the Demonic Path.

"The path of cultivation is inherently the survival of the fittest. Low-level Cultivators and those ordinary people who cannot step onto the path of cultivation are merely steps to build glory; they should be honored to receive this privilege."

Thinking of this, Jiang Wang tossed a set of remains into the flames beneath the cauldron.

Time slipped away bit by bit, and Chu Fan's initial cultivation of the "Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art" was nearing completion.

If Su Ming were to activate his Heavens Mandate Vision now, he would find that the mandate representing Chu Fan had begun to extend its branches over the heads of all living beings on the Qianyuan Continent, as if drawing from them as nutrients... Three Saints Sect.

Li Jianping watched the slowly descending Flying Boat overhead and clenched his fists.

He originally thought dealing with the beast tide would take at least seven days, but he never imagined that after only one day, Su Ming would have already completed the mission.

"Hai Wuliang! Being killed just like that by Zhao Xiuran was far too easy for you!"

While the Flying Boat was returning, Zhao Xiuran, who was Elder Zhao leading the team this time, had contacted Li Jianping via a communication Spell.

He also reported exactly what had happened at the Canghai Sword Sect.

Li Jianping never expected that the beast tide was actually man-made by Hai Wuliang.

If you had the energy to buy and set up beast luring incense, would it have been that hard to go explore some undeveloped Secret Realms yourself to find cultivation resources?

However, none of that was the point. The point was his agreement with Su Ming.

He had staked his life on the guarantee that the day Su Ming returned from rescuing the Three Saints Sect's interests would be the time the Three Saints Secret Realm opened.

If he tried to find an excuse to stall now, would it even work?

Li Jianping himself knew that was impossible.

If he dared to stall, Su Ming would dare to have his Guardian beat him to death the very next second.

Uncle Meng possessed an offensive Magic Treasure of the Half-step Void Realm; in a one-on-one fight, he could not possibly be the other's match.

If the other three Grand Elders at the Peak Star Realm of the Three Saints Sect joined him, then there would naturally be no problem.

But the problem was that those three Grand Elders would absolutely never do such a thing.

Therefore, he had to open this Three Saints Secret Realm.

Thinking of this, a sense of suffocation washed over him.

The Flying Boat landed steadily, and then Zhao Xiuran approached Li Jianping at top speed to report the situation.

"Sect Master."

"You're the only one who came?" Li Jianping was somewhat surprised.

Zhao Xiuran completely failed to understand those words.

Before he could even ask, Uncle Meng silently appeared before the two of them.

"Li Jianping, the Young Lord asked me to ask you if the Three Saints Secret Realm can be seen opening in half a day."

When Uncle Meng said this, he deliberately shook his arm, displaying his Magic Treasure.

Seeing this scene, Li Jianping thought of his natal flying sword which was still being reforged, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch wildly.

"In half a day, the Three Saints Secret Realm will definitely open!"

"That's good."

Uncle Meng came quickly and left slowly, clearly having come to make a show of force.

Seeing this scene from the side, Zhao Xiuran only felt somewhat puzzled.

Opening the Three Saints Secret Realm was a routine matter, so why was his own Sect Master looking so miserable?

The stronger Su Ming became as the Saint, the more helpful it would be for the future of their Three Saints Sect, wouldn't it?
