Yan Chihuo seized the mountain demon's soul in one sweep, then used the Innate Seventy-Two Transformations to merge it into his own soul. He first searched through the mountain demon's memories, only then learning that this truly was the Heavenly Heart Continent—the Demon Ghost Domain in the continent's southern region.
Back when Heaven's End King had invaded the cultivation world, he had entered through the Crimson Blood Desert in the north, and he had withdrawn through the Crimson Blood Desert as well. But the situation had been critical at the time, and Heaven's End King's subordinates had been unable to retreat in full. They had instead charged all the way into the southern region, where, after several fierce battles against the Cultivators and demons of the cultivation world, they were finally wiped out.
As a result, the southern region had become saturated with countless traces of Nether Qi, creating the present state in which Nether Qi and spiritual qi coexisted. It had also become a place most beloved by the many ghost Cultivators and demon ghosts of the Heavenly Heart Continent. This mountain demon had been born here.
Now that he had arrived at the Heavenly Heart Continent, Yan Chihuo finally set his mind at ease. He immediately found a place rarely visited by man or beast, released the Seven Absolutes Frost Sword, and carved a simple cave dwelling into a mountainside. Then he took out an array plate.
This array was called the Two Principles Dust Formation. He had learned it by chance in Cloud Clear Hall, and its power was truly remarkable, making it ideal as a grand formation to guard a cave dwelling.
Yan Chihuo intended to cultivate here for some time. It was not only because he needed to thoroughly merge with the mountain demon's soul,
