Free Web NovelChapter 796: Chapter 662: Nascent Soul Transmission
"This is the ’Fragmented Pill Reformation Secret Technique,’ along with the ’Essence-Stabilizing Demon Marrow Pill’ to aid in stabilizing the body and protecting the heart veins. Take it, and be cautious in your actions."
"The secret technique is dangerous. Even with the elixir’s protection, you must be extremely careful."
"Yes, Rou’Er will remember."
Jin Rou’Er received it with both hands, solemnly putting it away.
Jin Lijian gave her a deep look, then coldly glanced over Hua Yanting, who was kneeling on the ground, and ultimately said nothing more.
Hua Yanting was someone trusted by his sister.
He did not speak of punishment nor mention the matter of aiding in reforming her Demon Pill.
Transforming into a sharp streak of dark gold demonic light, he left directly.
On the high platform, only Jin Rou’Er and her servants remained.
Jin Rou’Er’s gaze returned to Hua Yanting, and after a moment of silence, she spoke, "Get up."
Hua Yanting’s body trembled slightly as she slowly raised her head, her eyes full of fear and guilt.
"Miss, this servant failed in her task, causing the loss of Miss’s valuable treasure. This servant deserves to die, willing to accept punishment!"
"Punishment?"
Jin Rou’Er smiled bitterly, "Your Demon Pill is already shattered, and your cultivation is less than a tenth. Even the lightest punishment will be unbearable. Punishments can wait until you’ve reformed your Demon Pill and restored your realm cultivation."
Hua Yanting was someone she was accustomed to having by her side, always loyal and devoted.
The recent mission’s failure was mainly due to Shen Xuan’s being too cunning and difficult to handle, with endless tricks up his sleeve.
The losses were significant, the Demon Soldiers were captured, and her trusted one was severely injured. How could her heart not be in pain and fury?
But no matter the pain or anger, it was all useless.
"This servant deeply thanks Miss for sparing my life."
Hua Yanting kowtowed heavily, her voice choked with emotion.
"Enough."
Jin Rou’Er turned around, looking at the eternally dim sky of the Demon Realm, her voice calm.
"First, follow me back. The immediate priority is to help you reform the Demon Pill and stabilize your foundation. We can discuss other matters later."
As for that True Master Profound Ice, Shen Xuan.
Jin Rou’Er did not wish to think or speak of him any longer.
This name had become a sharp thorn in her heart.
This time, she initially intended to assist her brother.
To this end, she even sacrificed three drops of her origin essence blood.
It would take her several years to replenish it.
Yet, the result was severe losses and utter disgrace.
The loss of the Blood Transformation Divine Saber served as an even starker reminder.
"The cultivators of the lower realm are not all ants."
She thought to herself.
A strong thirst for power quietly sprouted within her.
Until she had absolute confidence, she would no longer easily involve herself in matters concerning the Xuan Yuan Realm.
The current foremost matter is to quickly break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Once she achieved a Demon Infant and her divine powers reached great success.
A mere Golden Core Cultivator, no matter how many tricks they have, could be crushed like an ant under absolute power.
...
Outside the Spirit Stream Secret Realm, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.
The secret realm had only been open for a month.
The secret realm exit, which was supposed to open after six months, was forcibly opened in advance by seven Golden Core Sect Leaders using a legal key.
A massive spiritual light vortex slowly formed in front of the mountain’s belly, revealing a deep passage behind it.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of breaking air continuously rang out as figures, appearing somewhat panic-stricken and embarrassed, flew out from within.
They were indeed the Foundation Establishment disciples from various sects who had entered the secret realm.
However, most of them looked worn out, their faces pale.
Many had unstable breath, and several collapsed upon landing, evidently having suffered severe foundational injuries.
"How did Xu Jinhui die? What exactly happened inside?"
True Master Celestial Secret’s eyes were sharp as he grabbed a disciples from the Xuanfa Sect who had emerged first, asking sternly.
"Sect Leader Uncle!"
The Xuanfa Sect disciple’s face turned deathly pale, recalling the incidents with lingering fear.
"This disciple did not see Senior Brother Xu. We encountered the Demon Race of the Demon Realm. They set up a terrifying Illusion Sound Demon Array, which eroded our minds. Many fellow disciples were trapped, their divine souls damaged..."
He spoke disjointedly about the encounter with the Illusion Sound Demon Array and the disastrous losses.
"Demon Race?"
True Master Celestial Secret frowned deeply, a chill rising from within.
The appearance of the Demon Race in the Spirit Stream Secret Realm was unprecedented.
The secret realm passage was extraordinary, extremely difficult to penetrate.
Moreover, the primary ingredients for the Golden Transformation Pill and Core Formation Spiritual Objects produced within were of little use to the Demon Race.
Most importantly, there were Heavenly Dao Rules that restricted realm cultivation within.
Why did the Demon Race risk this, sending Foundation Establishment Demons to infiltrate?
What was their goal?
Not only he, but the other sect leaders also showed expressions of shock and confusion after questioning their own disciples.
The dramatic change within the secret realm and the Demon Race’s appearance took everyone by surprise.
However, the one most shocked was Spirit Music Immortal, the Sect Leader of Wonderful Sound Pavilion.
"Is every word you said true? Does Shen Ruocheng truly possess such strength?"
Having listened to Liang Luqi and Liang Luzhu’s detailed report, Spirit Music Immortal, who was usually composed, displayed a rare expression of disbelief and seriousness.
According to the sisters, Shen Ruocheng of Taiyi Sect was terrifyingly powerful, able to easily suppress and even kill the Demon Race individuals.
It was very likely him who broke through that eerie Illusion Sound Demon Array.
This was beyond the capabilities of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
"This disciple dare not utter a single falsehood!"
Liang Luqi said in a steady voice, "Tang Roulan from Taiyi Sect, as well as Senior Brothers Zhao and Sun, can all testify! Shen Ruocheng indeed acted in the secret realm, defeating the Demon Race individuals. Later, when the Demon Array was broken, it was most likely his doing."
Spirit Music Immortal’s eyes narrowed, her heart filled with suspicion.
Thirteen Golden Core Sect Leaders had inspected personally; it was impossible for them to be mistaken. Shen Ruocheng was indeed at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
But his displayed strength was completely illogical.
Unless...
She hesitated no longer, her body shifted as she directly approached True Master Shou Yuan, the Sect Leader of Taiyi Sect, who was surrounded by several others.
Currently, True Master Shou Yuan was encircled by True Master Celestial Secret, True Master Qing Xi, and a few other sect leaders, his expression quite awkward.
