Chen Wang returned to his cave abode with the Ice Fire Lotus. Upon opening it, a surge of powerful life essence rushed out.

Moreover, the interplay of ice and fire creates a unique and beautiful halo.

"There's a chance to gain innate Divine Ability abilities after taking it; that sounds tempting," Chen Wang thought to himself.

The Demon Race race possesses the Divine Ability power of being able to move at will, which is extremely convenient, and some of their abilities are quite astonishing.

Chen Wang's heart skipped a beat, "This... isn't this Genetic Ability?"

"There seems to be a connection between the innate supernatural Divine Ability and Genetic Ability of the Demon Race race." Chen Wang frowned.

Since discovering the messenger of the God of Order in the Winter, Chen Wang suspected that the Winter was not a closed world, and that others could travel through the heavens to get there.

Thinking of this, Chen Wang frowned even more deeply.

"If Genetic Ability weren't developed naturally, but were artificially promoted, then... what was the purpose?" Chen Wang wondered.

He temporarily put aside his thoughts and did not continue to consume the Ice Fire Lotus. Instead, he first refined the Skull Real Person's Storage Artifact.

This Skull Real Person was exceptionally powerful, with layers upon layers of marks on him that Chen Wang found difficult to break through in a short time.

It took some effort and powerful Divine Sense Law Power to finally break it open.

Upon opening it, Chen Wang's eyes lit up immediately. "Holy crap! This old bastard is so rich!"

Chen Wang was somewhat moved. There were many cultivation resources here, dazzlingly so, and there was a huge pile of Spirit Stone.

Chen Wang examined them closely and found they were all top-grade Spirit Stone.

The sheer size of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator's collection goes beyond mere extravagance; it's even more impressive for a professional demon lord, who always amasses wealth faster than ordinary cultivators.

Chen Wang discovered many cultivation techniques, Jade Slip, notes, and some special materials in his Storage Artifact, which contained secret Cultivation Method of ghost and Demonic Path Secret Technique.

Chen Wang thought to himself, "It wouldn't hurt to learn these techniques; at least I should have some understanding of them."

He couldn't help but recall the discussion about righteousness and evil by Lan Dieyi, the undercover agent of the Demon Dragon Dao Sect, that day.

"Methods are just methods; it all depends on who uses them," Chen Wang thought.

Chen Wang also found the Skull Real Person's magic Law Treasure, a set of Shura Blades. When not in use, it looked no bigger than the palm of his hand, but when activated, it could transform into eighty-one Shura Blades, which were specifically designed to destroy the Primordial Spirit of cultivators.

The bloodthirsty power attached to it is extremely lethal to ordinary cultivators.

This was an extremely powerful magic Law Treasure, and Chen Wang couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.

"I thought he was an easy target, but I didn't expect him to be such a tough opponent. If he were to unleash this Shura Blades, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a match for him."

Chen Wang was extremely surprised.

The eighty-one Shura Blades are extremely powerful, and once unleashed, their power is terrifying.

"Strange, if he has such a powerful magic Law Treasure, why doesn't he use it?"

Chen Wang glanced at it, held the Law Treasure in his hand and examined it carefully, then probed it with his Divine Sense.

After about half an incense stick's time, he looked distressed.

"This Law Treasure has been damaged and needs to be nurtured for a while. What a pity, what a real pity!"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

The power of this Shura Blades is far greater than that of the Purple Gold Hammer in his hand.

"It must have been caused by a fight with that passing sword cultivator."

Chen Wang quickly figured out the cause and effect, and was also somewhat surprised by the strength of that sword cultivator.

"Realm level does not purely represent combat strength. Sometimes, encountering powerful Law Treasure or the right opportunity can turn the tide of battle and allow the weak to defeat the strong. So we still need to be careful."

Chen Wang was making plans in his mind.

This Law Treasure is somewhat damaged, and even after a period of care, it may not be able to return to its full glory.

However, Chen Wang really liked the power of this treasure to restrain the Primordial Spirit of cultivators, so he temporarily put it away.

Over the next few days, Chen Wang practiced his cultivation daily.

There was still a small piece of Dragon Blood Stone inside his body, quietly staying in one place in his Sea of Consciousness.

When Chen Wang circulates his Cultivation Method, he can absorb a portion of the energy, and his cultivation speed is faster than that of ordinary Golden Core Stage Cultivator.

However, Golden Core Stage Cultivator often spend hundreds or even decades cultivating, so it's probably impossible for them to break through to the next level as quickly as before.

Unless... he has another extraordinary encounter! Chen Wang cultivates in this cave abode, and the Spiritual Qi here is indeed abundant.

Gu Xin Yue felt this most deeply.

She was Foundation Establishment cultivator, Chen Wang took out some elixirs and spiritual items for her to consume.

Gu Xin Yue had a feeling that she would be able to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage in a while.

On this day, while Chen Wang was cultivating in his cave abode, he suddenly heard a thunderous sound from the horizon.

Chen Wang's Divine Sense immediately spread out, feeding back the image.

There was a dark cloud in the sky, behind which were two golden rays.

The three fought in the sky, producing thunderous sounds and dazzling light.

It circled over Spirit Void Mountain for a while before heading towards the horizon.

"Dark Cloud...that's that female cultivator from the Demon Dragon Dao Sect!" Chen Wang's eyes lit up.

Gu Xin Yue was also startled and woke up from her cultivation state. Suddenly, she heard Chen Wang's voice transmission in her ear, "You stay in the cave abode and guard the house!"

The next moment, Chen Wang's figure transformed into a streak of light and left the cave abode, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

"It looks like that female cultivator is being chased. Strange, wasn't she taken away by the experts from the Demon Dragon Dao Sect?"

The thought flashed through Chen Wang's mind, and he rode the Jin Chan Dharma Robe, making him even faster.

He was somewhat disappointed; he had lost track of the three people in just a moment when he had slowed down.

Just moments later, a thunderous sound was heard a hundred miles to the southeast.

Golden Core Stage Cultivator can sense each other's movements during battles.

Chen Wang swiftly soared through the air and gave chase! On the other side, Lan Dieyi, amidst the dark clouds, uttered a voice that was neither male nor female, "That treasure is no longer in my hands, why are you two senior brothers pressing me so relentlessly!"

Lan Dieyi's voice rang out.

A Dragon's Roar's roar was heard, and a flying sword pierced through the air, without a word from anyone, directly slashing at the dark cloud!

Ordinary magical Law Artifact would instantly shatter into dust once they flew into the dark clouds.

But this flying sword was different; it was a Law Treasure. At this moment, the Sword Qi erupted, directly splitting a corner of the dark cloud and revealing the figure of a woman.

These two golden lights were Qin Huo and Zhou Teng, two experts from the Great Martial Immortal Sect.

Previously, Zhou Teng had used his flying sword to force Lan Dieyi to stop.

Zhou Teng said coldly, "Junior Sister Lan has always been exceptionally intelligent. We dare not believe your words. You should come back to the Immortal Sect with us to apologize. Your cultivation is hard-earned and it would be a pity to destroy it."

Both of them were True Disciple of the Great Martial Immortal Sect, both cultivators at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, possessing profound Law Power and great Divine Ability abilities.

After the dark cloud materialized into a human form, Lan Dieyi revealed herself completely, and the three of them landed on the ground facing each other.

Lan Dieyi smiled faintly, "Zhou Shi, if I return to the Great Martial Immortal Sect, will I even survive?"

Zhou Teng frowned and said, "Whether you live or die depends on the elders' decision. All I know is that if you continue fighting, you will surely die."

Lan Dieyi smiled and said, "Is that so? Senior Brother Ma died at my hands, as did Uncle Qingxu. Do you think you are stronger than them?"

Another Golden Core Stage Cultivator named Qin Huo, eight feet tall and imposing, had two cold glints shooting from his tiger-like eyes. "Zhou Shi, she has been fighting one battle after another and is already at her limit. There's no need to waste any more words with her. Just kill her!"

He then offered up a precious pearl.

The pearl, about the size of a fist, emitted a faint yellow light. With a wave of her hand, she unleashed it! Lan Dieyi flew outwards, dodging the attack.

The pearl landed on the mountain peak, causing the entire mountain to tremble! "Qin Huo's Sky Opening Pearl is indeed extraordinary. No wonder many people say that although Senior Brother Qin Huo entered the sect later than Zhou Shi, his cultivation level is far above his." Lan Dieyi said with a smile.

Qin Huo sneered, "Stop trying to sow discord. You can use such childish tricks to fool a three-year-old!"

He summoned the Sky Opening Pearl Sky Opening Pearl, and with a flick of his wrist, he unleashed it at incredible speed, transforming it into a streak of light that hurtled outwards! Lan Dieyi's figure was ethereal, like a ghost, as she used a very special footwork technique to narrowly evade the attack.

With a deafening boom! The power of the Sky Opening Pearl was indeed extraordinary; the earth shook violently, and rocks flew everywhere!

Lan Dieyi had barely regained her footing when Zhou Teng leaped forward! A bolt of lightning flashed from his palm! Lan Dieyi dodged, laughing, "The Purple Lightning Mystic Saber truly lives up to its reputation as a divine Divine Ability of the Great Martial Immortal Sect!" Zhou Teng remained expressionless.

Qin Huo's killing intent was fierce. He unleashed a palm strike, and a huge, dazzling handprint appeared.

Lan Dieyi's Movement Method were ethereal, and she was clearly somewhat wary of the palm strike. At this moment, she quickly used her previous wondrous footwork to drift away.

However, the palm print followed her like a shadow, sticking tightly to her! Lan Dieyi flicked her finger lightly, seemingly casually, but in reality, this strike used a great deal of power from her body.

It made a tinkling sound, like the tinkling of a spring.

She met the palm strike head-on! However, her cultivation had declined significantly, and the palm strike was incredibly fierce, blasting towards her again! In an instant, sand and stones flew, dust billowed, and Lan Dieyi's figure disappeared.

Qin Huo carefully searched for Lan Dieyi's figure, but found no trace of her.

"Damn it! That Enchantress escaped again!"

Qin Huo said hatefully.

Zhou Teng picked up a Talisman Paper with both hands, and in a flash, the Talisman Paper turned into flames.

Then the Incense Qi drifted up and pointed in two directions.

Zhou Teng's expression changed. "Strange, how come there are two directions?"

Qin Huo pondered for a moment and said, "Zhou Shi, why don't we each go in one direction and chase after her? I reckon she's seriously injured and can't cause any trouble."

Zhou Teng nodded, "Okay!"

The two of them split up and chased after them.

Chen Wang saw this scene from a distance and thought to himself, "This woman's methods are indeed formidable."

Chen Wang assessed the situation and concluded that with his own speed, he probably wouldn't be able to get close to Lan Dieyi using the footwork she had just used.

"These three are all very capable; none of them are simple characters," Chen Wang thought to himself.

Putting aside their cultivation levels, the three of them alone, with their resourcefulness Law Treasure they wield, make them extremely difficult to deal with.

"The Western Continent is indeed a place where hidden talents abound!"

This thought involuntarily surfaced in Chen Wang's mind.

Two incense sticks, one to the south and one to the north, but Chen Wang still couldn't find any trace of the woman.

However, after some deliberation, a thought flashed through his mind: to remain still.

After a long while, a faint voice rang out.

"Junior Sister Lan, you can fool Qin Huo, but you can't fool me! Show yourself now!"

Their voices were heard, but they were never seen.

Chen Wang cautiously concealed his aura, watching this scene from afar, controlling his Divine Sense to suppress his aura.

The voice rang out again, "Junior Sister Lan, you know I've always harbored feelings for you. Now that you've shown yourself, I won't make things difficult for you. How about we go together to join the Demon Dragon Dao Sect?"

That was the voice of Zhou Teng, the cultivator from before.

But after a long time, there was still no response.

"Haha, I've found you! Junior Sister Lan, you don't need to hide anymore!"

After a long while, there was still no movement.

Chen Wang dared not get too close. He scanned the area with his Divine Sense, carefully controlling the intensity, but he could not find the whereabouts of the Lan Dieyi.

A moment later, a leaf on the branch trembled slightly and revealed a human figure, which was Zhou Teng, the Golden Core Stage Cultivator from before.

Zhou Teng wore a faint smile, appearing calm and collected, as if everything was under control.

He strolled leisurely through the forest, and with a casual gesture, a patch of land not far away suddenly distorted as if a canvas had been torn apart.

Suddenly, butterfly-shaped fragments appeared with a bang, and the image became clear again.

Lan Dieyi was there, a look of surprise on her face.

"Zhou Shi, you really are a formidable character. I was right about you."

After a brief moment of panic, Lan Dieyi regained her smile.

Zhou Teng said calmly, "Heavenly Demon Mystical Appearance, Yeshi Steps, Junior Sister Lan, you really surprise me. Not only have you mastered our sect's minor Divine Ability, the Severing Immortal Finger, but you have also cultivated two other Divine Ability."

Lan Dieyi forced a smile and said, "Zhou Shi is quite knowledgeable; he can even recognize the Heavenly Demon Mystical Appearance."

Zhou Teng said calmly, "I've helped you get rid of Qin Huo, how about it? You hand over the Taiji Diagram to me, and we'll both join the Demon Dragon Dao Sect."

Chen Wang narrowed his eyes, not emitting any aura, and thought to himself, "I made the right bet!"

Just now, the two incense sticks were pointing south and north, and Chen Wang should have chosen one direction to chase after them. However, a sudden Spiritual Light flashed in his mind, and he decided to squat down, contrary to his usual behavior.

It was a strange feeling, and he made the decision in an instant.

Sure enough, the woman first remained hidden in place without making a sound, and then Zhou Teng sent Qin Huo away, deliberately staying in the same spot.

"The disciples of the Great Martial Immortal Sect are actually so powerful!"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

Lan Dieyi smiled and said, "Senior Brother Qin is not as wise as Zhou Shi. He trusts Zhou Shi Zhou Shi's intelligence and talent are superior to Senior Brother Qin's."

Zhou Teng sneered, "You want to sow State of Mind in my mind, plant a demonic seed within me, and make me kill my fellow disciples, is that right?"

"You should put away this Heavenly Demon Mystical Appearance to avoid wasting your already limited Law Power."

Lan Dieyi was startled, but forced a smile and said, "Senior Zhou Shi is joking. Junior Sister is speaking from the heart."

Zhou Teng smiled and said, "Since you infiltrated the sect, you must have a clear understanding of the habits of each disciple, and you may have even put in the effort to learn about the Divine Ability Law Technique that each of them possesses."

"Therefore you conclude that I am a narrow-minded and jealous person, and you want to Heart Fire me into killing my fellow disciples."

Zhou Teng walked towards Lan Dieyi step by step, and cold sweat poured down Lan Dieyi's forehead.

Her Law Power was almost gone. Due to an unexpected turn of events, she was not successfully guided back to the Demon Dragon Dao Sect. Instead, she was besieged by many experts.

She was somewhat surprised; she only knew that Zhou Teng was always competitive, but she never expected him to be so cunning.

"Since Senior Brother intends to join the Demon Dragon Dao Sect, I will temporarily keep the Taiji Diagram. We will go together, and I will thank Senior Brother for his help," said Lan Dieyi.

Zhou Teng smiled faintly, "In that case, it's fine."

The next moment, he unleashed a palm strike, which was also an extremely domineering Adamantine Palm Imprint!

He knows at least two minor Divine Ability!
