Yin Yang Pearl in Hand, Entering Seclusion

"Are you interested in this little one?"

Cang Wu chuckled, teasingly. Little Marten let out a dry laugh. Its Demonic Spirit was still very weak, and it had no idea how long it would take to recover on its own.

The weaker a Demonic Spirit or soul was, the harder it was to recover. As its strength increased, the recovery speed would gradually quicken.

Cang Wu waved his hand indifferently. He wasn't interested in it, and such a Demonic Spirit was useless to him now. After all, he didn't have a habit of eating Demonic Spirits or demonic beasts.

"Since you helped me awaken, little one, I'll give it to you."

As he spoke, Cang Wu's expression turned slightly solemn. Although he had awakened from his slumber, he was merely a remnant soul. He had previously burned Reincarnation, greatly weakening his power.

Before obtaining a physical body, the maximum power a remnant soul could recover was comparable to the Great Perfection of the Primal Core Realm, similar to the Azure Water Demonic Python before him.

However, even with power only at the Great Perfection of the Primal Core Realm level, the strength Cang Wu could unleash far surpassed that of the Great Perfection of the Primal Core Realm.

Cang Wu waved his hands, and countless fine black threads flew out, weaving into a large net that completely trapped the Azure Water Demonic Python's Demonic Spirit.

As if sensing danger, the Azure Water Demonic Python's Demonic Spirit, slumbering within the deep blue light cluster, awoke.

The moment the Azure Water Demonic Python's Demonic Spirit flew out of the deep blue light cluster, the fine black threads around it had already wrapped around it. Bursts of immense suction erupted, continuously drawing out the Azure Water Demonic Python's energy.

The Azure Water Demonic Python was startled at first. However, upon sensing that the black threads' aggressiveness wasn't too strong, it flicked its tail and lashed out at them.

"Whoosh!"

The demonic python's tail whistled past, swatting away a large patch of black threads. Seeing this, the Azure Water Demonic Python couldn't help but let out a hiss, a hint of pride in its tone, as if it thought the black threads were too weak.

Lin Dong's expression changed, and his steps faltered slightly in fear. Cang Wu glanced at him and chuckled.

"Kid, watch carefully and learn!"

Lin Dong was stunned. He saw the Azure Water Demonic Python flick its tail again, preparing to attack. To his surprise, he discovered that the black threads, which had been swatted away, hadn't broken. Instead, they had wrapped around its tail.

It turned out that when the black threads were swatted away, they had unleashed a force that caused a sharp sting on the tail. Then, using that pain, they began to absorb the Azure Water Demonic Python's energy.

"Hiss!"

The Azure Water Demonic Python let out a roar and thrashed its tail even more violently, trying to break free from the strange black threads.

But as the Azure Water Demonic Python thrashed, more and more black threads wrapped around it. The black threads weren't sharp or tough; they didn't cut the demonic python's tail, nor did they restrain it. Instead, they attached themselves to its body like markings.

At a certain moment, Cang Wu suddenly raised his palm towards the Azure Water Demonic Python. Then, he clenched his outstretched fingers and uttered a low, forceful command.

"Bind!"

With Cang Wu's soft command, all the black threads instantly tightened. The Azure Water Demonic Python's Demonic Spirit, which had struggled for a long time, had a significant amount of its power drained and could no longer resist. It was instantly imprisoned by the black threads.

Cang Wu raised his hand and sucked. The Azure Water Demonic Python's Demonic Spirit transformed back into a small light cluster and fell into Cang Wu's hand.

"Little one, this is for you."

Casually tossing the Demonic Spirit to Little Marten, Cang Wu took a deep breath. He strode forward and arrived before the three Yin Yang Pearls, his eyes filled with excitement and eagerness.

Casually selecting one of the Yin Yang Pearls with the most potent energy, Cang Wu directly threw the other two Yin Yang Pearls to Lin Dong and said, "Kid, I need to go into seclusion at the bottom of this pool for a while. Try to keep trouble to a minimum, or you might not be around when I come out."

"Senior, don't worry. I won't disturb your seclusion."

Lin Dong chuckled sheepishly and grabbed Little Marten, who was happily hugging the Demonic Spirit, preparing to drag it back.

"Kid, don't drag Lord Marten! Lord Marten can go back on his own!"

Little Marten swatted Lin Dong's hand away with a claw. Then, after swallowing the Azure Water Demonic Python's Demonic Spirit, which could no longer resist, it burrowed into Lin Dong's body and returned to the Ancestral Stone Space.

The Ancestral Stone Space was finally his and his alone again!

After watching Lin Dong retreat, Cang Wu focused his attention on the Yin Yang Pearl before him.

His illusory body sat cross-legged in the cave. The Yin Yang Pearl, guided by Cang Wu, hovered at the position of his Dantian.

"Buzz!!"

Immediately, streams of special power surged from Cang Wu's body and landed on the Yin Yang Pearl.

These streams of special power were like the Yin Yang Pearl itself, black and white. However, they were not Yin Yang Qi but Life and Death Qi.

Among the Eight Great Ancestral Talismans, although Cang Wu had never been the controller of the Life and Death Ancestral Talisman, the Way of Life and Death was Cang Wu's second most proficient power.

This was because the Devouring Ancestral Talisman and the Life and Death Ancestral Talisman had a very special relationship. The Devouring Ancestral Talisman, possessing inherent Devouring Power, was the first to be conceived.

And among the Eight Great Ancestral Talismans, the Life and Death Power of the Life and Death Ancestral Talisman was too profound and powerful, making it the most difficult to conceive, almost to the point of not being fully conceived.

In the final moments, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman took the Life and Death Ancestral Talisman into its body and nurtured it with its own power, allowing the Life and Death Ancestral Talisman to be successfully conceived.

This resulted in the Devouring Ancestral Talisman itself being tinged with a trace of Life and Death Power. Moreover, although Cang Wu and the Lord of Life and Death were nominally senior and junior disciples, they were actually like siblings, with a close relationship and spending the most time together.

Furthermore, when the great battle of heaven and earth broke out later, Cang Wu was the strongest and had many methods. He fought the most desperately and was injured the most. The Lord of Life and Death often used the Life and Death Ancestral Talisman to heal him, even entrusting the Life and Death Ancestral Talisman to Cang Wu so he could use its origin power to heal.

Through these interactions, Cang Wu achieved a high level of attainment in the Way of Life and Death, enabling him to resurrect using his own Life and Death Power and Yin Yang Qi, without the aid of the Reincarnation Pill.

The Life and Death Power entered the Yin Yang Pearl, drawing out streams of Yin Yang Qi from it.

Countless black and white Yin Yang Qi, strand by strand, flew out of the Yin Yang Pearl and circled around Cang Wu's body, gradually intertwining and slowly enveloping his illusory figure.

Soon, a black and white intertwined figure appeared in the underground cave. As time passed, a faint aura of vitality gradually emanated from the figure.
