Breakthrough to the Soul Tempering Realm!

["Aaaahhh! It hurts too much!! I can't take it anymore!!"]

[Several hundred demon souls burrowed into your seven apertures and five orifices at once!]

[Using this grand formation, the Myriad Souls Banner instantly refined them into energy to temper your soul, helping you shatter the shackles of your root bone and break through to the Soul Tempering Realm!]

[This process could be imagined as forcibly cramming a liter of water into a half-liter container!]

[Under normal circumstances, you should have exploded and died.]

[The only reason you had not died yet was because the Myriad Souls Infusion Formation had stabilized your body and soul.]

[But it was far too painful.]

[You were suffering damage that should have made you explode, yet you remained alive and fully conscious. One could only imagine how unbearable that pain was.]

["O steadfast middle-aged man! Without enduring a bone-chilling winter, how could plum blossoms smell so sweet? Fear not a thousand hammerings and ten thousand tempers; leave your purity in this world!"]

["Quit reciting poems at random, damn it..."]

[You were half-dead from suffering here, while the Myriad Souls Banner watched the show from the side.]

[You felt that if he had a phone, he would have taken a picture and posted it to his social feed.]

[What a bellyful of bad water!]

[Only when the night grew deep and still]

[did your screams finally cease.]

[Your clothes had been soaked, dried, then soaked again. You had no idea how many times it had repeated.]

[You took them all off and casually struck out with a flaming palm, burning them to ashes.]

[Then, bare-assed, you went to the nearby stream.]

[You soaked there, relaxing.]

["It's finally over..."]

[You had completed your breakthrough and officially entered the Soul Tempering Realm!]

[While soaking, you took a look at your current personal data.]

[After making some adjustments, you took the now-empty Myriad Souls Banner and set off on the road of cultivation once more.]

[Entering the Soul Tempering Realm was certainly cause for joy, but it was merely one checkpoint on the long road of Martial Dao.]

[Many great mountains still lay before you, waiting to be crossed.]

[For someone with mediocre aptitude like you, crossing those mountains was even harder than it was for others.]

["I'm starting to feel like I've got that A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality flavor..."]

[Year 29, age 46.]

[Drawing an entry...]

[Draw successful!]

["Mortal Bone" (Golden):

If you possess only a Low-Grade Bone Structure, have no Special physique, and have not undergone bodily reconstruction through Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure or the like, then your comprehension of Divine Abilities will not be restricted by Heaven and Earth rules, and your aptitude for comprehending Divine Abilities will increase tenfold!

Cultivate in the mortal world~ All karmic grudges become empty~ Watch them all off~ In the end, ordinary but not mediocre~~~]

[Adjust entry?]

[Yes/No]

[You equipped "Sudden Inspiration"!]

[You equipped "Dragon Plays with Phoenix"!]

[You continued traveling through the Central Plains, slaying demons and eliminating evil wherever you went.]

[The Myriad Souls Banner was empty, so naturally it could no longer feed back into your cultivation.]

[You now urgently needed a large number of demon souls.]

["There are too few Demon Race members in the Central Plains. To evade the Monster Slaying Division, they're scattered too sparsely and hidden too well. Searching for them one by one is far too inefficient."]

[Among the Five Domains, the Eastern Wilderness had the most Demon Race members, because the Human Race there was so sparse that no nation had formed.]

[Furthermore, the Eastern Wilderness bordered the Great Wilderness. The Great Wilderness was Demon Race territory, and powerful demons were active throughout it.]

[You prepared to take a look around the Eastern Wilderness.]

[You had not gone before because the Spirit Gathering Realm was truly not worth mentioning. Now that you were in the Soul Tempering Realm, you had at least some confidence.]

[Year 30, age 47.]

[On the journey to the Eastern Wilderness, you casually dealt with several demon calamities.]

[With your current increase in combat power, the Demon Race members you could handle had become stronger as well.]

[Your hair grew redder and redder.]

[The reputation of the Red-Haired Demon Slayer became increasingly resounding among rogue Martial Artists in the southern Central Plains.]

[That year, you unknowingly passed through White Cloud County, Qingzhou. You decided to visit Third Sister's home and see how Dachun was doing.]
