Deal Reached, Fiend Qi God Refining

Di Jiang threw the question back, letting Minghe name his price. This, however, caused the young man from the Sea of Blood to fall into a brief contemplation. The light flickered in Minghe's crimson pupils as his thoughts rapidly weighed his options.

When it came to cultivation techniques and legacies? He possessed the complete Sea of Blood legacy, sufficient for him to cultivate to the Peak Da Luo, which included the Blood God Son clones, the Sea of Blood Great Formation, the Slaughter Sword Dao, and more. All were top-tier divine abilities, and he currently lacked nothing in this regard.

Although he had previously felt a karmic connection severed with some Spiritual Treasure in the depths of his consciousness, since he didn't even know what it was, it meant fate hadn't arrived. Forcing it would be futile. Moreover, he already had the Abi and Yuantu twin swords for unparalleled offense, and the Karma Fire Red Lotus for invincible defense and suppressing luck. In terms of Spiritual Treasures, he was already luxuriously equipped and had no urgent need for more.

So, what should he ask for? Spiritual materials? Resources? Di Jiang didn't seem like someone skilled in alchemy or artifact forging!

Minghe's gaze fell upon Di Jiang once more. Sensing the latter's profound and unfathomable aura, which seemed to resonate directly with the laws of the Primordial World, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning—comprehension of laws!

That's right! Fellow Daoist Di Jiang was able to step into the Primordial Golden Immortal realm before most Great Powers in the Primordial World. He followed the path of Pangu's Attain Dao Through Strength or perhaps Attain Dao Through Laws! His comprehension of laws must have reached an extremely profound level!

Although his legacy was extraordinary and his Spiritual Treasures were powerful, if he wanted to break through the Peak Da Luo and step into that mysterious Primordial Golden Immortal realm in the future, drawing upon the comprehension of laws from a pioneer would undoubtedly be a crucial, perhaps even a once-in-a-lifetime, opportunity!

With this realization, Minghe had made up his mind. He looked up, his crimson eyes holding less of the previous probing and more solemnity and longing.

"Fellow Daoist Di Jiang," Minghe cupped his hands.

"I dare not covet your fundamental Great Dao, Fellow Daoist Di Jiang. I only wish to exchange the secret method of soul tempering through malevolent energy from my Sea of Blood God Refining Art for some guidance on your cultivation insights."

He paused and elaborated, "Especially your understanding of laws related to slaughter and destruction. You have already reached the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and your elevated perspective means even a few insights could benefit me immensely. This is an exchange of cultivation methods, each taking what they need. I wonder what your thoughts are, Fellow Daoist?"

After speaking, Minghe looked at Di Jiang somewhat nervously. This request was neither too high nor too low. Comprehension of laws was one of a cultivator's most core treasures and was not easily shared. However, he was offering a core secret method from his own legacy; the value was equivalent, and it all depended on whether Di Jiang felt it was worth it!

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Di Jiang's eyes, which then turned into a knowing smile. This brat has sharp eyes and a big appetite. He directly targeted comprehension of laws, which was one of the keys to the Primordial Great Dao.

However, Di Jiang felt this trade was very worthwhile. The soul tempering part of the Sea of Blood God Refining Art was something he urgently needed, as it could solve the core problem of the Great Formation of the Myriad Heavens. As for comprehension of laws, he possessed the law potential of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, primarily cultivating time and space, and had also delved deeply into other laws.

Sharing some general insights and experiences that did not involve his core would not cause him any loss. Instead, it would foster good relations and allow him to see how far Minghe could go on the path of laws.

"Agreed! I will exchange with you. You give me the soul tempering method, and I will give you guidance on the comprehension of laws."

Di Jiang's reply was swift and decisive!

Seeing Di Jiang agree so readily, Minghe was overjoyed. A brilliant smile couldn't help but bloom on his handsome face, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist!"

Seeing Di Jiang agree so readily, a heavy weight lifted from Minghe's heart, and an irrepressible joy surged within him. Not daring to delay, he immediately used divine sense transmission to impart the core method of refining the Primordial Spirit and solidifying the soul with malevolent energy from the Sea of Blood God Refining Art to Di Jiang without reservation.

This method was extraordinarily exquisite, the crystallization of wisdom naturally formed from the Sea of Blood's origin over countless eons to deal with malevolent energy. It involved how to guide the malevolent energy, how to neutralize its ferocity with special soul seals, and how to transform its pure, fierce will into a whetstone for tempering the Primordial Spirit.

After receiving the method, Di Jiang, with his Primordial Golden Immortal realm, deduced it slightly and knew the method was profound and precisely what he needed, not mere empty words. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Good."

Immediately, he also fulfilled his promise, not holding back. He condensed a spiritual light containing his comprehension of laws with his divine sense. It primarily included several parts:

First, a perspective on the basic application and in-depth understanding of laws. Although not core divine abilities, they were sufficient to give Minghe a higher-level understanding of the Dao of Laws.

Second, based on the sharpness and penetration characteristics of the Law of Gold, it extended to an understanding of the decisive and destructive aspects of slaughter.

Third, drawing on his experience of integrating multiple laws, he offered some general advice and warnings regarding the concurrent cultivation, balance, and integration of laws.

This spiritual light contained a vast amount of information, enough for Minghe to digest for a long time and perhaps provide immeasurable guidance for his future path.

Upon receiving this spiritual light, Minghe sensed its boundless profundity, far exceeding his expectations. He was deeply moved and bowed deeply again, "Fellow Daoist, your generous gift is deeply etched in my heart!"

The transaction was complete, and both parties were overjoyed. Minghe knew Di Jiang would immediately attempt to cultivate the soul tempering method and there was nothing more to see. Thus, Minghe hastily cupped his hands:

"Since Fellow Daoist has obtained the method, you must need to meditate and comprehend it. It would be inconvenient for me to disturb you further. I shall take my leave now and wish you great success in your divine abilities!"

With that, Minghe didn't linger. His figure transformed into a blood-red light, merging into the surging Sea of Blood below, disappearing instantly. He was clearly eager to return to the core area to go into seclusion and digest the comprehension of laws given by Di Jiang.

On the edge of the Sea of Blood, Di Jiang was once again alone. Sensing Minghe's aura completely disappear, he glanced at the boundless, dark red ocean before him and nodded, "The malevolent energy here is inexhaustible, making it the best place to cultivate this method!"

Di Jiang immediately sat cross-legged in the void at the edge of the Sea of Blood. He first carefully pondered the soul tempering chapter of the Sea of Blood God Refining Art, ensuring his understanding was correct. Then, following the method's instructions, he formed hand seals and cautiously drew upon the dense malevolent energy of the surrounding Sea of Blood once more.

Using the method described to guide and filter the malevolent energy. Strands of pure yet still ferocious dark red malevolent energy, like tamed vipers, slowly coiled around Di Jiang's Primordial Spirit.

Initially, the familiar stinging and corrosive sensation returned. However, as the soul seals flickered, the violent will within the malevolent energy was gradually neutralized and stripped away. The remaining pure energy began to strike and temper his Primordial Spirit like a forging hammer.

The process was still accompanied by pain, as if his soul were being repeatedly roasted and hammered in flames and ice. But it was no longer the unbearable, near-breaking tearing sensation from before.

Under the control of his will and the guidance of the method, his Primordial Spirit was slowly but steadily becoming more condensed and resilient, and his resistance to malevolent energy was gradually increasing.

"Effective!"

Di Jiang's heart settled, and he became completely immersed in this painful yet joyful tempering process. The Netherworld Sea churned, and endless fierce malevolent energy bowed like subjects to the unwavering figure at its edge.

Using the power of this most defiled land in the Primordial World, Di Jiang began the crucial cultivation to overcome the final obstacle of the Great Formation of the Myriad Heavens. Once successful, he would truly possess this ultimate trump card capable of shaking Saints!
