Chen Changming's face instantly turned ashen.

He wanted to release the Demon Spirit Vine, but he was also afraid that if he couldn't finish the battle quickly, this heaven-defying creature would be discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

The Demon Spirit Vine is half-demon, half-ghost, and involves Six Ancients secrets, which may attract the covetous eyes of many powerful beings.

Therefore, he will not easily release the Demon Spirit Vine unless he has done a good job of concealment.

If we don't use the Demon Spirit Vine, what should we use?

"Oh right, the Spirit-Devouring Insect!"

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Chen Changming, and he immediately thought of something, releasing the Spirit-Devouring Insect with a wave of his hand.

The Spirit-Devouring Insect evolved into Level 5 Demonic Beast a long time ago. For decades, when Chen Changming was in seclusion cultivating, he often kept it on his chest. The little insect's evolution speed was also extremely fast, and now it was already a Level 5 Upper-Tier Demon Beast.

It was almost a Level 6 Demonic Beast.

However, since the Spirit-Devouring Insect has little offensive power other than causing Spirit Energy Storm in the underground Spirit Vein, Chen Changming rarely used Spirit-Devouring Insect and kept it hidden away.

A level 5 high-level Demon Beast should be able to suppress the level 5 low-level Red-Scaled Blood Python. Moreover, the Spirit-Devouring Insect has an innate talent: it is naturally inclined to be close to Demon Beast.

Buzz!

As soon as the Spirit-Devouring Insect appeared, it transformed into a streak of purple light and flew to the top of the Red-Scaled Blood Python. Its speed was so fast that even Chen Changming was surprised. It was unbelievable that the Spirit-Devouring Insect, which was about to become Level 6 Demonic Beast, could be so fast.

Unfortunately, this Spirit-Devouring Insect is just too small.

If it gets bigger, it can become his flying spirit pet.

The Red-Scaled Blood Python stared at the Spirit-Devouring Insect as if facing a formidable enemy, personally sensing the suffocatingly powerful aura emanating from it. A deep sense of fear uncontrollably surfaced in its cold, vertical pupils. However, in the next moment, the Spirit-Devouring Insect suddenly landed gently on the Red-Scaled Blood Python's head like a light, floating leaf.

Upon seeing this, the Red-Scaled Blood Python slowly withdrew its head as if relieved of a great burden, its expression becoming extremely peaceful, as if it were fully enjoying the wonderful feeling of the Soul -Spirit-Devouring Insect landing on its head.

Upon seeing this, a hint of joy appeared on Chen Changming's face.

These Spirit-Devouring Insect are truly extraordinary. They are friendly with all kinds of Demon Beast. If you encounter an invincible Demon Beast in Green Sheep Mountain, you only need to release the Spirit-Devouring Insect.

The Red-Scaled Blood Python retracted its body back into the cliff and then slithered away.

After a while, the Spirit-Devouring Insect flew back.

"Well done."

Chen Changming smiled and reached out to touch the head of the Spirit-Devouring Insect.

The Spirit-Devouring Insect transmitted a message: "With me here, no Demon Beast in Green Sheep Mountain will dare to harm my master..."

Chen Changming nodded and smiled.

The Spirit-Devouring Insect is only close to all things, but it has no ability to kill Demon Beast. If it wants to hunt Demon Beast, it still has to do it itself.

"I want to build cave abode here. Is there a spiritual spring or a small Spirit Vein below this cliff?"

He asked.

The Spirit-Devouring Insect flew out, silently sensed the surroundings, and replied, "There is a miniature Spirit Vein, much better than a spiritual spring."

"Very good."

Chen Changming was overjoyed and immediately flew behind the waterfall. He used the Geng-Gold Sword to carve out cave abode. It took him half a day to carve out a very spacious cave abode.

He used the Spirit-Devouring Insect to locate the vein, and then dug downwards, finally finding the small Spirit Vein after digging for hundreds of feet.

The Spirit Vein was milky white, liquefied due to its extremely high concentration, and emitted astonishing Spiritual Qi, floating upwards along the tunnel.

Chen Changming filled a Storage Bag with the liquefied Spiritual Qi, then returned to his cave abode and set up the Five Elements Spirit Light Illusion Array. He dug five pools beneath the array flags and base, and placed the liquefied Spiritual Qi into them.

As the Method Formula was cast, the Five Elements spiritual light emitted a dazzling and illusory glow. With the start of the formation's operation, the cave abode was tightly protected, as if draped in an invisible cloak, completely concealed behind the waterfall. At the same time, the diffusion of Spiritual Qi was also blocked, preventing it from flowing out.

"The concentration of Spiritual Qi in this cave abode is very high, far surpassing that of Yellow Sprout Mountain."

Chen Changming smiled with satisfaction. After setting up the Pill Furnace, he cast Method Formula to ignite its flames, then added a Chicken Blood Grass and began cultivating the Pill Control Technique.

After his Divine Sense was completely depleted, he began to cultivate the Heavenly Furnace Body-Forging Art. During the cultivation, he would have Senior Bi Cang remove the Key and place the Spirit-Devouring Insect on his chest.

And so he became immersed in a life of asceticism, day after day.

Two years later, he finally mastered the Pill Control Technique and could now run it completely once.

Chen Changming was overjoyed.

Although this Divine Sense Cultivation Method is difficult to master, he succeeded once, and his Pill Control Technique will be strengthened next.

Once strengthened, this Cultivation Method becomes powerful, and consequently, his Divine Sense also becomes extremely powerful.

A strong Divine Sense can also lay a solid foundation for cultivating the Three-Nine Divine Aperture Technique.

Although Chen Changming is dull-witted and has poor comprehension, if given the opportunity to learn, he will shine brightly in a certain field, far surpassing those who are naturally gifted.

"Pill Control Technique, one hundred times!"

A day later, thunder and a warm current appeared one after another, and Chen Changming ushered in the first enhancement of his Pill Control Technique!

"My Pill Control Technique have increased tenfold, and my Divine Sense has also grown tenfold, allowing me to control ten Chicken Blood Grass simultaneously..."

Chen Changming murmured, his face constantly showing surprise and delight.

He took a deep breath and continued cultivating, determined to enhance his Pill Control Technique to the third level or higher.

Six months later.

With the third successful enhancement of his Pill Control Technique, Chen Changming's Divine Sense was now comparable to that of a cultivator at the eighth or ninth level of the Foundation Establishment, which meant that the range of his Divine Sense scanning was also much wider.

Chen Changming pondered for a moment.

"Perhaps I should strengthen this Pill Control Technique to its peak, so that my Divine Sense is comparable to that of Golden Core cultivator, allowing for a wider scanning range and thus improving my self-defense capabilities..."

Over the past six months, he has not stopped practicing the Heavenly Furnace Body-Forging Art, so his Body Cultivator refining skills have been continuously improving.

Even if my cultivation progresses slowly, it doesn't matter anymore.

After some thought, Chen Changming decided to continue cultivating the Pill Control Technique and the Heavenly Furnace Body-Forging Art. After strengthening the Pill Control Technique to the fifth time, he would officially begin refining pills.

Six months later.

The time has come for the Ancient Demon Palace to open.

Chen Changming ignored him and continued his arduous cultivation.

A year later, his Pill Control Technique had not yet broken through to the fourth level, but the Spirit-Devouring Insect had broken through to the Level 6 Demonic Beast, which surprised him greatly.

Buzz!

The Spirit-Devouring Insect suddenly flew away from my chest, hovering in mid-air. After a layer of purple light flashed across its body, it suddenly grew larger.

It transformed from an insignificant little insect into a giant insect half a meter in size.

"After you leveled up, you can get bigger?"

Chen Changming stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked.

"Yes, I can carry my master in flight from now on," the Spirit-Devouring Insect said proudly.

flight?

Chen Changming blinked, a huge surprise welling up inside him.

These Spirit-Devouring Insect were already incredibly fast, but now that they've broken through to the early sixth-level Demon Beast stage, their speed has become even faster.

Level 6, initial stage, is equivalent to a human cultivator at the third or fourth level of the Golden Core realm.

"In addition, I have awakened a special innate Divine Ability."

"The Spirit-Devouring Insect spoke again."

There was also a hint of smugness in his voice.

"What kind of innate Divine Ability?"

Chen Changming quickly asked.
