Reincarnation Nourishment, Two Sects Return

The territory of the Outer Sect Alliance.

The repercussions of Evil Shen's death and the split of Poison Dragon Pool are still unfolding. With the help of certain individuals behind the scenes, the situation will remain chaotic and turbulent for many years to come.

In chaotic times, the rise and fall of powers is inevitable.

Not long after, Profound Sound Pavilion produced its second Late Core Formation cultivator. Amidst the chaos, it expanded its industrial influence, purged the cultivation forces that had maliciously suppressed Miaoyin Pavilion, and gradually became one of the major forces in the Outer Sect Alliance.

The Great Qing Eastern Region, the Far East Badlands, belongs to the Two Cults Borderland.

Crossing the boundless poisonous swamp on the east side of the Dao Defense Alliance, an area even more dangerous than the endless Flying Sand Chasm, one can reach the Two Cults Borderland.

Heading southeast from the Fengyuan Kingdom and the Outer Sect Alliance, one can also reach the Two Cults Borderland, with slightly less risk along the way.

The Far East Badlands has richer Spirit Vein and resources than the Dao Defense Alliance, but its harsh living environment was initially not very suitable for human cultivators.

Many years ago, the Five Poisons Cult dominated the surrounding area, expanding its territory and becoming the leader of the Evil Dao sects, no weaker than some of the Six Demonic Sects.

Around ten or twenty thousand years ago, the Thousand Mechanisms Cult suddenly rose to prominence, supposedly originating from the Central Plains, the Central Province with the most ancient lineage of cultivation on the Tianheng Continent.

From then on, the Far East Badlands became a state of confrontation between the two religious camps, and this treacherous and dangerous region was known as the Two Cults Borderland.

This is the area that the Six Demonic Sects expanded eastward, and which they did not attempt to invade in the Eastern Region.

More than half a year later.

Within and around the Thousand Mechanisms Cult Sect, a range of precipitous mountains and a crimson-black river guard a manor house containing a near-fourth-tier Spirit Vein.

The mansion's gardens were picturesque, with lush mountains and clear waters, a stark contrast to the harsh surrounding environment.

This is the ancestral home of the Teng Clan.

The patriarch of the Teng Clan, "True Lord Giant Elephant," is an elder of the Thousand Mechanisms Cult. Now that he is old, he has been living a life of retirement in the clan's territory in recent years.

With Nascent Soul Elder of the Holy Sect presiding over the area, coupled with the perilous environment and protective array, the Teng Clan land is a forbidden zone in the surrounding area, belonging to both the most dangerous and the safest place.

On this day, the Clan Protection Array the Teng Clan manor suddenly shook, bursting forth with astonishing light and causing chaos in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Then, an earth-shattering scene unfolded.

A massive hurricane erupted from within the Fuji Lineage's territory, causing a vast expanse of water.

The foundation of the Clan Protection Array was severed and destroyed from the inside. The formation's protective shield collapsed from the inside before it could last for even a few breaths, and was washed away and covered by the vast ocean.

From the sky or from a distance, the vast Teng Lineage territory was swallowed up by the ocean, with no clear signs except for faint bursts of spiritual light.

Deep within the ancestral home, submerged by seawater,

A powerful, angry voice echoed:

"Who exactly are you? Why have you attacked the Teng Clan? Even if I perish today, I must know the truth."

At the bottom of the ancestral home, eight top-tier third-order Puppet Army Formation protected a white-haired, withered, one-eyed old man in the center.

The eight Puppet were severely damaged, and the Puppet Army Formation's puppet power array was extremely dim, indicating that it was at its last gasp.

Elder Teng's face was deathly pale, his soul seemed to be breaking, his body was hunched over, and poisonous blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. One of his eye sockets had a bloody hole, as if it had been pierced by some kind of long nail.

In addition, his torso and arms bore multiple wounds. His abdomen had a shocking, withered cavity, indicating a significant loss of life and Blood Qi.

Faced with an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, Elder Teng was already in despair.

A magnificent and noble peacock hovered above his head, its wingspan reaching seven or eight zhang. In the previous few attacks, it had easily wiped out his protective magic shield, causing the spiritual light of his defensive Law Treasure to dim rapidly, making it difficult to resist.

His feet sank into the Petrification mound, and a tremendous pulling sensation came from the ground.

Strange Black Silk, controlled by the Tier 4 Demon King from the underground, wrapped around his lower legs and spread up his torso.

The Black Silk were extremely eerie, devouring Spiritual Qi Law Power and magical power, binding the body and making it difficult to break free.

This is a rare treasure that Elder Teng has never seen before in the Two Cults Borderland [Spirit-Devouring Black Silk], which is the Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Lord Ming Shui.

In actual combat, Di Yan Jun used this treasure for the first time to attack. Combined with the fourth-tier poison and the soul-killing effect of his master's Nail-Head Arrow, the effect was better than expected.

Directly in front of Elder Teng, a mysterious middle-aged man in a black cloak was surrounded by blue water light.

This person used unpredictable methods to infiltrate the heavily Restriction Teng Lineage territory, disguised as a direct descendant, and suddenly attacked Elder Teng in his room.

Such terrifying infiltration methods were unheard of by Elder Teng in the two sects' territories. Perhaps only the Wujian Gate leader of the Wujian Sect, one of the Six Demonic Sects, could accomplish such a feat.

"I, the leader of the Green Dragon Society, have come to the Two Cults Borderland today to seek justice for my subordinates and settle old scores!"

Lan Chang'an spoke indifferently, manipulating the Sea Banner Magic Treasure engraved with a water turtle pattern. A vast vortex of water suppressed Elder Teng in place.

In this operation, Lan Chang'an adopted a stealth assassination strategy.

With the [Black Wind Cloak] and [Hundred Illusion Mask], he could move freely through the Teng Lineage's territory.

Before taking action, Lan Chang'an had already affixed lightning talismans to the base of the Clan Protection Array formation.

At the moment of the sudden attack, Elder Teng sensed it, but still couldn't dodge a [Nail-Head Arrow].

Then came the pincer attack from both sides by Di Yan Jun and the Strange Spirit Peacock.

Combined with fourth-tier poison and Spirit-Devouring Black Silk, they almost captured Elder Teng in the first instance.

Elder Teng was an elderly Nascent Soul Cultivator was retiring in his later years. His physical functions were declining, and his lifespan was less than a hundred years. His strength was much weaker than that of Evil Shen.

Lan Chang'an's goal was to capture the Nascent Soul, but fearing that the damage would exceed the limit as last time, he directly destroyed the target's Nascent Soul.

Therefore, the next round of tactics was more conservative, focusing on encirclement while also guarding against the escape of the Nascent Soul.

At this moment, Elder Teng's physical body and Nascent Soul had suffered severe injuries, and his strength had declined significantly.

To deal with such an elderly cultivator, Lan Chang'an did not hesitate to unleash the <Withered Extinction Divine Light>, making matters worse for the opponent, reducing their lifespan and causing their life Qi and Blood to wither.

"The Green Dragon Society... its subordinates?"

Elder Teng was filled with doubt and uncertainty, muttering to himself, knowing that he could not escape his fate today, and only wanted to know the truth.

He had never heard of the Green Dragon Society. For a mere leader to possess such Divine Ability, comparable to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, was unimaginable. It was astonishing what the hidden iceberg in the Deep Sea might actually be like.

Elder Teng realized that the truth was related to the "subordinates" mentioned by the Green Dragon Branch Master.

However, he couldn't recall what irreconcilable mortal feud he had formed over the past few centuries.

"Heh heh... It seems Senior Brother Wei has forgotten about me."

Behind him, surging waves and deep, heavy waters dispersed, revealing a tall, imposing, black-faced, fanged Green-Armored Puppet.

Elder Teng was taken aback at first, then his expression shifted slightly as long-forgotten memories flooded back.

"Junior Brother Wei?"

After recognizing Puppet Master Wei, Elder Teng, being a fourth-tier Puppet Master himself, quickly noticed the unusual nature of the Green-Armored Puppet before him.

"You... you actually still exist in this world? You actually transformed into Puppet Spirit and merged with a true fourth-tier Puppet to become Puppet Spirit! How did you do that?"

Elder Teng was shocked, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

Based on lifespan estimates, given that Puppet Master Wei was ambushed by him back then, severely damaging his Dao foundation and leaving him with no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul, it's impossible for him to be alive now.

"Hehehe! Senior Brother Wei, you didn't expect this, did you? I switched to cultivating the art of Ghost Spirit, which greatly extended my lifespan. Furthermore, thanks to my master 'fortuitous opportunity gift, I created a true fourth-tier Puppet, using Ghost Spirit to transform into Puppet Spirit. Not only am Wei able to live until now, but I will also live longer than you."

Puppet Master Wei's words revealed his ambition, causing Elder Teng's face to darken and his heart to ache.

He'd be better off not knowing the truth.

"Senior Brother Teng, I heard you forged a Tier 4 Giant Elephant Puppet in the Thousand Mechanisms Cult, an indestructible War Machine. Why don't you bring it out today and test your skills against me?"

Puppet Master Wei's previous inaction was intended as a support role.

Faced with Puppet Master Wei Kui Shi's triumphant sparring, Elder Teng felt utterly dejected and lost his spirit.

"The Holy Sect paid the bulk of the funds for the materials of that Tier 4 Giant Elephant Puppet. As the one who created it, I only had the right to use it. Now that I am old and my condition has declined, the Puppet has been handed over to the Holy Sect for safekeeping, in exchange for future benefits. Even if the giant elephant Puppet were still here, it would not be a match for Junior Brother Wei's true fourth-tier Puppet."

Elder Teng smiled bitterly and pleaded again:

"Junior Brother Wei, could you leave behind a few direct descendants for your senior brother?"

"Hmph! When you attacked me back then, did you show any mercy? Wei wife and daughters were all brutally murdered by you..."

The Green-Armored Puppet's eye sockets flickered with cold, ghostly flames. One of its Puppet Arm suddenly expanded, transforming into a huge blue steel claw that whipped up a ball of iron-gray gale force and slammed fiercely towards Elder Teng.

"Since this person can't produce the giant elephant Puppet, then there's no need to show mercy."

At Lan Chang'an's command, Di Yan Jun and the Peacock Puppet launched an attack.

Seeing that the [Spirit-Devouring Black Silk] had wrapped around Elder Teng's neck, most of his Law Power was sealed, and he could not break free.

The Strange Spirit Peacock in the sky, once again sent down a beam of Five-Colored Spirit Light.

Boom!

Elder Teng's expression was resolute. His Law Power energy burned, and he self-destructed his physical body on the spot. The spiritual pressure generated in that instant was comparable to that of Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

At the same time, the surrounding Puppet Army Formation, consisting of eight Puppet, self-destructed simultaneously.

A terrifying tide of spiritual light, accompanied by crimson energy and Puppet fragments, caused the vast ocean to churn and tear open several fissures.

The attacks of the Green-Armored Puppet, the Strange Spirit Peacock, and the Di Yan Jun were neutralized, and they were forced back a distance.

Lan Chang'an's expression was cold and stern, his body shimmering with a verdant light, and a Nail-Head Arrow appeared in his hand.

The Strange Spirit Peacock in the sky condensed Five-Colored Spirit Light, staring intently at the area where it had self-destructed.

Swish!

A tiny Nascent Soul cultivator, resembling an old monk, self-destructed while simultaneously shifting several hundred feet in a chosen direction.

Elder Teng, whose Nascent Soul stage was severely injured and who had suffered from the [Nail-Head Arrow], was left with psychological trauma and first avoided Lan Chang'an's direction to escape.

Secondly, the Five-Colored Spirit Light of the Strange Spirit Peacock threatened the Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

Having ruled out those two main directions, Elder Teng fled towards a breach created by the explosion in the vast ocean.

Even if Nascent Soul is not a physical entity, escaping into the opponent's vast ocean will still present pressure, consume more energy, and have its speed somewhat affected.

However, just as Elder Teng's Nascent Soul Spirit Body had created some distance, he discovered a cyan phantom that precisely intercepted him nearby.

"Hehe, you predicted it correctly!"

The cyan phantom revealed the figure of a Black Wing man, whose speed was comparable to that of Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and who intercepted the enemy swiftly using a phantom Movement Method.

On the other side, "Lan Chang'an," who was holding Nail-Head Arrow, revealed a lifelike Spirit Wood Clone after the emerald light faded.

It's just a false alarm!

"Oh no! We've been tricked!"

Elder Teng's Nascent Soul Spirit Body trembled.

Call!

A ghastly green spider web spread out in the void above the Nascent Soul figure's head, stretching twenty feet in length and width, perfectly covering its flight path.

Puff!

The old-looking Nascent Soul Spirit Body couldn't stop in time and couldn't change direction, as if it had deliberately crashed into the pale green spider web.

The Ghost Spider Spirit-Binding Silk quickly transformed into a spiderweb cage, trapping the Nascent Soul Spirit Body. Wisps of dark, Ghost Spirit energy flickered within the Ghost Spider's silk.

The Nascent Soul figure felt a tingling, chilling sensation. It used its Nascent Soul secret technique to struggle desperately, but the [Ghost Spider Spirit-Binding Silk] tightened its grip even more.

A purplish-black poisonous smoke rose from the surface of the Nascent Soul Spirit Body; its consciousness grew hazy and weak, and a wave of weakness washed over it.

"Heh! A heavily injured Nascent Soul, afflicted with fourth-tier Infant Poison, how could you possibly escape?"

With a wave of his hand, Lan Chang'an captured the Nascent Soul Spirit Body trapped in the Ghost Spider Web into his palm.

The Nascent Soul Spirit Body within the spider web was in various negative states, weak and powerless, and had given up struggling.

"Congratulations, Master, on capturing the True Lord Giant Elephant of the Thousand Mechanisms Cult."

Puppet Master Wei flattered.

At this moment, his blood enemy, Elder Teng, self-destructed, leaving only his nascent Nascent Soul at the mercy of others.

"Old Wei, you handle the aftermath. I'll interrogate him."

Lan Chang'an gave the instructions.

Puppet Master Wei respectfully accepted the order and left.

In this Teng Clan Ancestral Residence, there were still some surviving cultivators. Puppet Master Wei naturally wouldn't let his enemies leave any future troubles, so he took action to kill them one by one, leaving no one alive.

"Elder Teng, today our grudges are settled. Hand over the hidden treasure vault and the <Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art>, and I, Lu, will consider granting you a chance to return to the cycle of reincarnation."

Lan Chang'an threatened sharply.

"Haha! What a pipe dream! Even if you capture this elder alive, you still won't be able to obtain the <Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art>. The core of this secret technique practiced within the Holy Sect, and the related memories in the Sea of Consciousness, are all subject to special, unbreakable Restriction. Even Nascent Soul Great Cultivator might not be able to search the soul to find the complete Secret Method."

Elder Teng vaguely sensed the screams coming from the ancestral home. Several outstanding direct descendants, who were hiding in Secret Chamber, were dragged out and killed by Puppet Master Wei.

Overwhelmed with grief, he threw his head back and laughed, completely unafraid of death.

"The Thousand Mechanisms Cult possesses a secret treasure that can implant a unique aura into the soul of a core cultivator. If you kill this elder's Nascent Soul, the Holy Sect has its own means to trace the source."

Elder Teng didn't mind delaying further, and instead threatened.

"Is that so? The Thousand Mechanisms Cult only has one Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator in charge, and at most, a fourth-tier mid-grade ancestral Puppet. Moreover, they are subject to the checks and balances of the Five Poisons Cult Sect. I truly do not believe that your sect Green Dragon Society for the sake of an aging Nascent Soul Nascent Soul nearing the end of his lifespan."

Lan Chang'an's words made Elder Teng's heart sink.

This leader of the Green Dragon Society possesses Divine Ability abilities far more terrifying than those of an average Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, and he has virtually no natural enemies in the Great Qing Land.

After Puppet Master Wei and Di Yan Jun finish their cleanup.

Lan Chang'an suddenly reached out and grabbed the Nascent Soul Spirit Body within the Ghost Spider Web, simultaneously contacting the [Nine Imprint Tablet] deep within his consciousness.

Buzz!

The mysterious ancient stele emitted a hazy white light, which, following the arm of his consciousness, enveloped Elder Teng's Nascent Soul.

"What's this--"

Elder Teng screamed in terror as his consciousness was sucked into the [Nine Imprint Tablet] by the irresistible power of the rules, and his Nascent Soul Spirit Body was torn into particles.

Within the fifth frame of the [Nine Imprint Tablet], a pure, crystalline white light emerged, illuminating one-tenth of the area.

"Seventy-five percent!"

Lan Chang'an was overjoyed to see the progress of the Fifth Life's activation.

There wasn't time to examine Elder Teng's memories.

"Retreat immediately!"

Lan Chang'an put away his Puppet, Spirit Pet, and Law Treasure, and under the cover of the [Black Wind Cloak], quickly left the scene of the incident.

The moment Elder Teng's nascent Nascent Soul was strangled and devoured.

The headquarters of the Thousand Mechanisms Cult, tens of thousands of miles away.

Puff!

Elder Teng's life Soul Lamp went out immediately, which alerted the Holy Sect's chief cultivator and several elders.

This is also why Lan Chang'an didn't devour the Nascent Soul immediately.

Instead, they're just stalling and wasting time until the aftermath is over.

Of course, the Nascent Soul couldn't stay long either; the commotion at the scene would soon reach the Thousand Mechanisms Cult's headquarters. The Thousand Mechanisms Cult might have methods to sense and track the nascent Nascent Soul.

Moon Empress.

Lan Chang'an successfully circled back to the territory of the Fengyuan Kingdom, and without visiting the Snow Mountain Sacred Land, he headed directly south back to the Cultivation World of the Liang Kingdom.

In fact, he could have traveled west from the Two Cults Borderland, traversed the boundless Poisonous Gas Swamp, and taken a straight route back to the Liang Kingdom.

However, that would require traversing the territories of the Thousand Mechanisms Cult and the Five Poisons Cult Sect, which carries more risks and uncertainties and would not be conducive to a quick escape.

As for the refining of elixirs such as the Infant Transformation Pill Soul Pill and the Third-Order Premium Longevity Pill.

Before infiltrating the extermination of the clan, Lan Chang'an had already used another Late Core Formation alias and, through Heavenly Master Zhong's connections, had asked a fourth-level alchemy master within the Five Poisons Cult Sect's territory to refine it.

The operation in the two religions' territory went relatively smoothly overall, since they were bullying elderly people whose bodies were aging and whose strength was declining.

However, capturing Nascent Soul is more difficult than killing Nascent Soul. To achieve the desired goal, one must act with full force and cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.

Golden Cloud Valley.

Lan Chang'an quietly sneaked back to the Evergreen Peak Daoist Field without alerting the other cultivators in the sect. At most, he was noticed by Zhang Tianfeng, who possessed Spirit Treasure Artifact Spirit.

This trip will only last a year, so it won't attract much attention.

Lan Chang'an's whereabouts have been unpredictable and difficult to ascertain over the past few years.

As a fourth-level Divination Grandmaster, concealing one's whereabouts or deliberately misleading or guiding others is not a difficult task.

Secret Chamber in a cave.

Lan Chang'an reviewed this long journey, consulted divination, and checked for omissions and deficiencies.

"Although there are some suspicious points and loopholes, the geographical span is large, and information transmission and sharing are slow. Without distinctive signs, it is difficult for people from different places to make connections out of thin air."

"The Green Dragon Society guise should still hold its own."

Lan Chang'an deliberately manipulated the secrets of heaven, guiding and concealing information related to the Green Dragon Society and the Green Dragon Branch Master, so that the course of fate would be more favorable to him.

Of course, the main reason was that he didn't reveal any major flaws. The Law Treasure Divine Ability that Lan Chang'an displayed to the outside world was water-based, not Wood Element Longevity Cultivation Art.

The person who knows the truth best is Heavenly Master Zhong.

But this fourth-level Divination Grandmaster, who is in cahoots with Lan Chang'an, will actually help conceal the secrets of heaven.

Otherwise, if the Thousand Mechanisms Cult discovers the Snow Mountain Sacred Land, even Heavenly Master Zhong will find it troublesome.

Lan Chang'an carefully checked Elder Teng's spoils again, shook his head slightly, and looked somewhat regretful.

Elder Teng's spoils were far less than those of Evil Shen.

There are two main reasons.

First, the statue itself exploded, damaging some valuable items.

Secondly, Elder Teng, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator retiring to old age, did not have complete ownership of his most valuable fourth-order Puppet, so he cooperated in returning it to the Thousand Mechanisms Cult. In this way, he won a good reputation for noble character, which could be used to exchange for the Holy Sect Sect's focus on cultivating future disciples.

Fortunately, Elder Teng, as a fourth-tier Puppet Refining Grandmaster, possessed a considerable amount of precious materials for puppet making, which Lan Chang'an could utilize, including for completing the Puppet Army Formation.

Conventional Law Treasure, spiritual objects, herbs, Talisman, and even some advanced strategic resources are wealth that Core Formation Cultivator can only dream of.

Having frequently killed Nascent Soul Old Monsters, Lan Chang'an was already quite accustomed to spiritual resources for the Golden Core Realm Nascent Soul Formation.

What Lan Chang'an truly yearned for was the <Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art>, the secret and fundamental martial art of the Thousand Mechanisms Cult Sect.

Under normal circumstances, even soul searching cannot obtain such top-level secret techniques involving the soul, or even obtain them in their entirety.

However, Lan Chang'an was an exception.

He closed his eyes and entered the Fifth Life of the [Nine Imprint Tablet], exploring the newly lit 10% area and sorting through Elder Teng's vast and chaotic memories.

On the way back, Lan Chang'an briefly checked the contents and found fragments of the <Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art>, which only required some time to organize.

After advancing to the Nascent Soul, Lan Chang'an was able to organize the memory fragments of these Nascent Soul Old Monsters much faster.

From his memories, Lan Chang'an learned that the Thousand Mechanisms Cult did indeed have a method to trace the source of Elder Teng's Nascent Soul. However, it wasn't as simple as he imagined; it required a considerable price to pay, and the effectiveness was greatly reduced if the distance was too great.

Moreover, Lan Chang'an eliminated certain hidden dangers related to causal Sha Qi by devouring the Nascent Soul Spirit Body through the [Nine Imprint Tablet].

This conclusion was drawn based on details of his memory and after ruling out any unusual aura emanating from him.

Several days later.

Lan Chang'an pieced together the <Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art> from the fragments of his memory.

To increase the margin for error, Lan Chang'an had Puppet Master Wei study and research with him, and verify the findings together.

As a puppet-making genius, Puppet Master Wei was naturally extremely excited to have the opportunity to comprehend the Thousand Mechanisms Cult Sect's most treasured secret Secret Method.

He wasn't this excited when he wiped out his entire family to avenge them.

"The Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art is of the same lineage as the Puppet tradition we previously cultivated, the Thousand Mechanisms Cult's puppet control secret art. We have already laid the foundation; once we comprehend this secret art, we can proceed with normal cultivation."

After further research, Puppet Master Wei brought some exciting news.

The Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art is divided into nine levels, with the lowest cultivation requirement being the Foundation Establishment Realm, at which point one can be considered to have entered the field.

Reaching the Nascent Soul Realm is considered true mastery, involving the cultivation of the soul and the many wondrous uses of Divine Sense.

The amplification effect of the <Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art> on Divine Sense varies from person to person.

High-level cultivators can typically enhance their Divine Sense by 30% to 50%.

Those with exceptional talent can enhance their abilities by more than 50%.

Possessing a top-tier Innate Dao Body of the soul type can at most advance by nearly one minor realm.

However, such innately gifted individuals are extremely rare in the Cultivation World, let alone the top-tier ones.

Elder Teng's talent for puppet making is actually quite good, but it is inferior to that of Puppet Master Wei.

However, he lacked divine soul talent, and his progress in cultivating the <Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art> was not fast. He only managed to cultivate to the seventh level, and his Divine Sense only increased by 30%.

That was during its peak period; in its later years, its physical body and Nascent Soul began to age and decline somewhat.

Based on Puppet Master Wei's research, Lan Chang'an attempted to cultivate the <Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art> and found that his progress was relatively smooth, much better than Elder Teng Teng's.

"Having gone through several reincarnations, my innate spiritual foundation is strong, which seems to be in harmony with the <Thousand Mechanisms Soul Derivation Art>."

Lan Chang'an was overjoyed. He estimated that once he cultivated to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm, his basic Divine Sense would be comparable to that of the mid-Nascent Soul Middle Stage without needing Fourth Life incarnation.
