Chapter 698: Chapter 329: Nascent Soul Pill; Heart Refining Skill_3

Thus, he took the opportunity to quietly leave the group.

...

More than half a month later, at Celestial Cyan Peak of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.

Passing through the secluded path around the mountain, Xu Ping returned directly to the underground residence of Celestial Cyan Peak.

As soon as he returned, he released the Water Lake Rat from the spirit beast pouch.

"Phew—I’m suffocating!"

The Water Lake Rat immediately started gulping down the rich Spiritual Qi in the residence, as if it were a mortal gasping for air upon surfacing from underwater.

The space inside the spirit beast pouch is too small, and the Spiritual Qi is too sparse, which is nothing short of torture for the Fourth Rank Demon Monarch like the Water Lake Rat.

Staying any longer, it felt its cultivation might even regress.

Seeing this, Xu Ping couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Who asked you to lose to that Snake Demon?"

"If you could defeat it, why hide in the spirit beast pouch and suffer?"

"That Snake Demon’s cultivation is not only far superior to mine, but it also has bloodline suppression. Little Rat naturally cannot defeat it."

"If it weren’t for the little Rat awakening its Divine Power Seal, it probably wouldn’t last even a few rounds!" the Water Lake Rat said with a face full of grievance.

"Then, if that’s the case..."

Xu Ping restrained his laughter, the teasing look in his eyes gradually faded, and his gaze suddenly became profound, "What if, on the contrary, you devour it, what benefits would it bring?"

The Water Lake Rat was taken aback, clearly not expecting Xu Ping to ask such a question.

But it quickly reacted, a hint of excitement and greed flashed in its eyes, and it answered without hesitation:

"Of course, there would be great benefits! That Snake Demon’s bloodline is exceptional and has bloodline suppression over me. If little Rat can reverse devour it, it would be a major fortune!"

The Water Lake Rat got more and more excited, even drooling uncontrollably, "If I could swallow that kind of bloodline, the chance of little Rat breaking through to Fourth Rank Middle Grade might be possible!"

"Oh?"

Xu Ping’s gaze flickered, as if stars were swirling, falling into contemplation.

If these words are true, the situation just became interesting.

If the Water Lake Rat could devour the Snake Demon to break through to Fourth Rank Middle Grade, and he can achieve Nascent Soul, then they truly would have the power for self-defense against the invasion from the Wind Origin Realm.

"However, doing this with just my own power is not feasible." Xu Ping furrowed his brows slightly, a hint of caution in his tone.

Although his current combat power has reached the level of a Peak of Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, to kill a Nascent Soul True Monarch is still out of reach.

Unless this Nascent Soul True Monarch doesn’t retreat and fights him to the death.

"This matter requires help, Hongyi is the best choice."

"Unfortunately, Hongyi is exploring a secret realm, and there’s no news of when he’ll return." However, Xu Ping wasn’t anxious either, he had time.

"Let’s wait patiently!" Xu Ping made his decision.

After sending the Water Lake Rat away, Xu Ping returned to the chamber, took out the turquoise jade slip, and meticulously studied the "Heart Refining Skill".

Once he cultivates the "Heart Refining Skill" to a certain extent, that will be when he breaks through to Nascent Soul.

...

Several days later, in Dan Yun City.

Inside a grand hall brimming with imposing magnificence.

Five distinct and equally powerful Nascent Soul pressures intertwined, pressing against the surrounding space like a stormy sea.

Besides True Monarch Yue Qian, Ten Thousand Snake Demon Monarch, and True Monarch Chixiao, there were also two unfamiliar demonic Nascent Soul cultivators.

One demonic True Monarch clad in a black robe, with violet-black eyes, enveloped in a heavy, ancient demonic armor; strides like a dragon and tiger, exuding domineering aura, resembling a Demon Lord.

The aura from his body reached the Peak of Early-stage Nascent Soul.

Another demonic True Monarch dressed in plain cloth, carrying an ancient knife at his waist, medium stature, but the dense Evil Qi emanating from him is enough to shatter the mind of a Golden Core cultivator.

"This kid, actually managed to escape back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons beneath our noses?"

When True Monarch Chixiao and others learned from insiders within the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons that Xu Ping had returned to the sect, their faces immediately turned unsightly.

Know that they had five Nascent Soul True Monarchs, searching in all directions outside Dan Yun City, and yet he ran off?

"This kid, despite being a Golden Core cultivator, not only has overwhelming combat strength, but his concealment Secret Technique is also formidable, really intriguing."

"If we can capture him, there would surely be substantial gains."

The eyes of the demonic True Monarch in a black robe may not help but reveal intense interest.

The vertical pupil of Ten Thousand Snake Demon Monarch flashed with bloodthirsty light, spitting out a long snake tongue: "No matter what methods he used, his foundation and ability are indeed impressive."

"As long as we three get that Rat Demon, the rest is yours."

"But now, this person has returned to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, we can’t possibly head there and directly attack, right?" asked the demonic True Monarch dressed in plain cloth, frowning.

Not to mention whether they can attack the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, but the Tu Imperial Family would likely intervene.

"Since direct siege isn’t possible, let’s use another method."

True Monarch Yue Qian’s eyes flashed a hint of malice, "Let the Red Sand Sect make the first move, attack the industries of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, and see if they can lure him out."

The five Nascent Soul cultivators discussed and planned, deciding to try this approach first, and if it doesn’t work, they’ll reassess the strategy.

...

A month later, in the underground residence of Celestial Cyan Peak.

Inside the secret chamber, Xu Ping sat cross-legged, forming seals with both hands, his aura steady, surrounded by a clarity.

There was no expression on his face, but a transcendent aura exuded from his brows, as if he had transcended earthly bondage, reaching some mystical realm.

This is the manifestation of "Heart Refining Skill" at Entry Level!

This Secret Technique is extremely challenging to cultivate, unlike ordinary Cultivation Techniques that are trained step-by-step.

It requires the cultivator to continuously face and resolve inner distractions, fears, greed, anger, and various emotions until one’s heart is as calm as water.

At this moment, Xu Ping felt his entire mindset elevated to a new level.

The heart was exceedingly calm, like a tranquil lake, unperturbed, reflecting all things without leaving a trace.

He seemed to merge with heaven and earth, with all things within his heart, yet there seemed to be nothing in his heart.

"This feeling..."

Xu Ping slowly opened his eyes, a hint of wonder flashing within them, "It’s truly wondrous."
