Self-destruction of the dantian

Northern Border.

Jiang Wang looked at the bubbling cauldron, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

He was just a step away from completing the plan, as this final hour wasn't as painful as the previous ones.

A Demonic Technique was a Demonic Technique not just because practicing it was rebellious and went against the heavens, but also because of its addictive nature.

"Chu Fan, how do you feel now?"

"Big Brother Jiang Wang, I feel an indescribable comfort. I feel like my body is filled with power!"

Chu Fan spoke his truest thoughts.

This feeling of being filled with power made him incredibly refreshed and unable to extricate himself.

"This means we've reached the most critical step. For the remaining time, you must absorb as much of the medicinal liquid's efficacy as possible and completely transform it into your own power..."

Jiang Wang spoke patiently while whispering in his heart, "And then, you'll never be able to refuse this feeling again."

Chu Fan could clearly feel his changes. From the start of his cultivation until now, his Realm had already broken through to the Longevity Realm Sixth Layer.

And now, he had only one thought.

He wanted to return to the Three Saints Sect to defeat and humiliate that Su Ming, and tell the Three Saints Sect that he was the destined Saint! That Su Ming was nothing more than a waste who relied on his parents.

With only half an hour left for the Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art, the 'taotie feast spirit' that had been lying in Chu Fan's storage ring began to react.

Due to the System's modifications, the revived Remnant Soul of Taotie was highly bound to Chu Fan.

It had even reached the point where even when Chu Fan cultivated normally, a portion would be siphoned off by the Remnant Soul of Taotie.

At this moment, the Spiritual Qi Chu Fan obtained through the Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art naturally couldn't escape either.

The previously weak Remnant Soul of Taotie had gradually recovered through the replenishment of Spiritual Qi and the System's secret assistance (50,000 destiny points), and was even actively lying in wait for an Opportunity.

At this final moment of cultivating the Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art, it was the best time.

Chu Fan's will was immersed in the pleasure brought by the impending completion of the Demonic Technique; it was the moment when his mind was most relaxed.

Even with Jiang Wang right beside him, it was going to strike to seize control of the body.

Because the Remnant Soul of Taotie also knew that once Su Ming completely mastered the Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art, the difficulty of its Possession would also greatly increase.

It was better to take the initiative and strike; even if the Possession failed, it could still ruin Chu Fan's mastery of this technique.

Seizing the Opportunity, the Remnant Soul of Taotie instantly occupied Chu Fan's consciousness space.

Jiang Wang, who had been observing Chu Fan from the outside, noticed this and his expression immediately changed.

At such a critical time, he would never allow any variable to ruin Chu Fan's mastery of the Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art.

"Remnant Soul of Taotie, you'd better not force me to scatter you!"

"Is that so? Then you can try. If I'm scattered, this kid's Soul will be buried with me!"

He, Taotie, had unyielding pride throughout his life and would never bow or compromise to a human.

"Don't think I won't dare! Although he is my most important pawn right now, he is still just a pawn!" Jiang Wang waved his hand and directly struck at the Taotie controlling Chu Fan's body.

Jiang Wang was, after all, a top expert in the top three of the Demonic Path; if Taotie wouldn't compromise, neither would he.

Jiang Wang gripped Chu Fan's throat, and Spiritual Qi poured into Chu Fan's body through his palm. With just a single thought, the body in his hands would explode like an over-inflated balloon.

"I'll give you ten breaths of time to return the body."

"Heh, since you care so much about this body's original owner, I'll grant your wish!"

In an instant, blood began to flow from Chu Fan's seven orifices, and his face turned pale at a visible rate.

Jiang Wang could naturally sense the condition of Chu Fan's body; Taotie had directly self-destructed the Dantian, actively destroying this body's Opportunity to Cultivate.

One could only say that as expected of the Remnant Soul of Taotie exchanged for 300,000 destiny points, it was indeed ruthless enough.

"You actually destroyed your own Dantian!?"

"Did you think I was lying to you just now? A mere human, what right do you have to negotiate with me! Hahaha!"

Amidst the wild laughter of the Remnant Soul of Taotie, Jiang Wang struck with a dark face, suppressing it once again, and began using his own Spiritual Qi to stabilize Chu Fan's condition, preventing his Dantian from completely dissipating.

Although the situation was stabilized, restoring a Dantian was extremely troublesome.

One would either need the legendary reversing fate hun tian pill that could repair a Dantian, or another Star Realm Cultivator would have to disregard their own cultivation loss and forcibly inject Spiritual Qi into Chu Fan to restore his cultivation.

Jiang Wang, naturally, was not that kind-hearted.

"What a pity, this pawn has rotted away like this... No, there's still one last chance."

Jiang Wang recalled his intelligence.

Wasn't Chu Fan's Revered Master at the Three Saints Sect, Ye Nantian, exactly a Star Realm Cultivator?

If he were willing to exhaust his cultivation to help Chu Fan restore his Dantian, then Chu Fan could become a perfect pawn once again.

The reconnected Dantian could then be used to re-Cultivate the Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art.

"I need to add one more insurance..."

Jiang Wang directly shattered Chu Fan's storage ring, and the items stored inside instantly scattered all over the ground, the most eye-catching being the "taotie feast spirit."

He picked up this Magic Treasure and then applied a Seal to it to prevent the Remnant Soul of Taotie within from reviving again.

No matter what, he couldn't let it ruin his plans again.

Then, Jiang Wang cast a small Spell on Chu Fan, ensuring he wouldn't die while keeping him unconscious.

After doing all this, Jiang Wang took out a human-skin mask and put it on his face; at this moment, his identity had changed.

He was now called Qi Jiang, a Nirvana Realm lecturer at the Jixia Academy.

Shouldering Chu Fan, Jiang Wang walked out of the cave and set off south toward the Three Saints Sect.

"That Master of yours had better disregard his own cultivation to repair your Dantian..."

"...Within the Three Saints Secret Realm."

Su Ming was happily pocketing the Opportunities that should have belonged to Chu Fan.

Among them were Spirit Medicines, Magic Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, and even the Legacy of the Three Saints Sect's ancestors.

Facing these, Su Ming naturally refused nothing.

"[Congratulations to the Host for plundering a large amount of Chu Fan's Opportunities, gaining 60,000 destiny points]"

The 50,000 destiny points previously lost were now all replenished.

Searching all the way, Su Ming finally arrived at the edge of a massive pond.

The water inside was not ordinary water, but a pond composed of spirit liquid formed by high concentrations of Spiritual Qi.

However, even so, this spirit liquid was not the most important treasure here.

The most important treasure was a Vicious Beast hidden deep within the pond.

That was a Sect-Protecting Vicious Beast left behind by the ancestors of the Three Saints Sect a long, long time ago!
