The Polluted Heavenly Dao Qi

The figure simply stood there with his hands behind his back, like a demon king from the abyss.

Chen Nianzhi stopped in her tracks, looking at the figure in front of her. She felt as if she were standing on the edge of an abyss, walking on thin ice, and a suffocating pressure surged into her heart.

Within this ruin, the only thing that could exert such pressure on him was the Earth Soul of Daoist Qing Yin.

He suppressed his discomfort, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "How did you know I was coming, senior?"

The Earth Soul remained silent, simply gazing at Chen Nianzhi with an indelible killing intent and a wisp of confused bewilderment in its pupils.

After a long while, he suppressed his murderous intent and calmly said, "My Life Soul was extinguished a thousand years ago, and I have been living in a daze and confused state ever since."

"If it weren't for the fact that a wisp of your bloodline resonated with me after you entered the ruins, I might never have had the chance to revive my soul."

Chen Nianzhi listened quietly, and then realized that the moment he stepped into the ruins, Daoist Qing Yin's Earth Soul had already sensed him, and a wisp of his remnant soul's obsession had been revived, temporarily restoring his consciousness.

The Earth Soul looked at Chen Nianzhi, examined her carefully for a moment, and then said, "If I'm not mistaken, you've come here to search for the treasures I left behind."

"Exactly."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, then said, "I came for the Heavenly Dao Qi."

Qing Yin's Earth Soul nodded, and with a flick of his sleeve, a storage bracelet flew to Chen Nianzhi's side.

He spoke calmly, saying in a high-ranking tone, "The remaining treasures of my Vast Sea Chen Clan are all here. There is indeed a piece of Heavenly Dao Qi within, but Heavenly Dao Qi..."

Seeing that He paused slightly, Chen Nianzhi's heart sank a little.

He quickly opened the storage bracelet and found four or five precious treasures inside, including two Five-Vein Jade and two Earth Mother Qi, the most precious of which was a strand of Heavenly Dao Qi.

However, these rare treasures have now undergone a shocking change, becoming corrupted by a dark mass of Demon Baleful Intent and resentment, and containing a strange kind of energy.

"Oh no!"

Chen Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. Although the two Five-Vein Jade among these treasures were also corrupted by Demon Baleful Intent, they could still be refined using Pure Yang Law Power.

Although the Earth Mother Qi is also polluted, it can be cleansed and removed if enough Pure Heart Spirit Liquid can be found.

However, the Heavenly Dao Qi emphasizes purity and truth. This thing was born at the end of the Nine Heavens and is the purest Qi between Heaven and Earth. Once it is tainted by the turbid Qi of the mortal world, its effectiveness will be greatly affected.

The current Heavenly Dao Qi is polluted by Demon Baleful Intent and resentment. If it is used to break through to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, it will likely greatly enhance the power of inner demons.

Even if a cultivator manages to break through to the next level, they will be tormented day and night by inner demons and resentment, which could very well lead to a drastic change in their personality, causing them to degenerate into a ruthless and insane Devil Cultivator.

"This Heavenly Dao Qi can no longer be used."

Looking at the polluted Heavenly Dao Qi, Chen Nianzhi put away the storage bracelet with a heavy heart.

He came here full of confidence to find the Heavenly Dao Qi for Chen Nianchuan, but unexpectedly, he was disappointed in the end.

Seeing that he had accepted the treasure, the Qing Yin's Earth Soul stared at him for a moment, then suddenly spoke again, "This treasure is a backup plan I left for the Chen Clan bloodline to rise again; it cannot be considered my true heirloom."

"If you can agree to one condition, I will pass on my legacy to you."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "The condition you want me to agree to, could it be to avenge you and kill the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor?"

Qing Yin's Earth Soul shook his head and said calmly, "That Black Dragon Demon Ancestor has lived for tens of thousands of years. Unless you can reach the Ascension-to-Immortality realm, even a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Primordial Spirit would find it difficult to kill him."

"Asking you to deal with it is asking the impossible, and besides, he's not the person I hate the most."

"The person I want you to kill is the Blood Demon Cave's Blood-Transforming Old Devil..."

As Qing Yin's Earth Soul recounted his story, Chen Nianzhi quickly understood the origins of the Blood-Transforming Old Devil.

The Blood Demon Cave is one of the most prestigious Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground in the Star Lake Ancient Region, and the Blood-Transforming Old Devil is Blood Demon Cave master.

That Blood-Transforming Old Devil was a half-step Devil Ancestor who had guided the Earth Soul. This demon not only possessed incredibly powerful cultivation, but also wielded the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Blade.

That day, the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Blade was one of the Pure Yin Demon Treasure in the world. It is said that it was once refined by a Demonic Path ancestor at the Primordial Spirit Realm, who refined an Outer Realm Demons and then sacrificed the lives of hundreds of millions of people across several continents to create it.

This demonic blade is no less lethal than Pure Yang Spirit Treasure. Even Primordial Spirit Dao Lord frowned at it, and it is unknown why it fell into the hands of the Blood-Transforming Old Devil.

Mentioning the Blood-Transforming Old Devil, Qing Yin's Earth Soul revealed a terrifying killing intent, saying, "The Blood-Transforming Old Devil and I have been mortal enemies for thousands of years, and we have clashed several times over the years."

"I had prepared several backup plans back then, so even if the breakthrough failed, I shouldn't have been in danger of falling."

"But the Blood-Transforming Old Devil used a curse to ambush us, which destroyed Heavenly Expanse Island and turned it into a desolate wasteland."

After listening for a while, Chen Nianzhi finally understood that the Blood-Transforming Old Devil had played a crucial role in Daoist Qing Yin's downfall.

The reason why Heavenly Expanse Island is filled with Demon Baleful Intent resentment is also closely related to the curse of the Blood-Transforming Old Devil. As a descendant of the Chen Clan, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but feel a bit of killing intent towards the Blood-Transforming Old Devil.

However, thinking of the terrifying power of the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, Chen Nianzhi still frowned and said, "The Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Blade is incredibly powerful; even a Nascent Primordial Spirit Dao Lord could be cut in two if they are not careful."

"My cultivation level is still insufficient; I'm afraid I'm powerless to kill him."

"I understand that, of course. You can kill him when your cultivation is sufficient in the future." Qing Yin's remnant spirit said, then his gaze darkened slightly as he added, "I have three treasures. If you agree, they will all be yours."

As He spoke, He revealed three Jade Slip with a flick of his sleeve.

Chen Nianzhi took a look and found that the two Jade Slip contained a method and a Divine Ability.

That method is called the "Heaven-Seizing Earth-Vein Creation Technique," a supreme method for cultivating Earth Vein Earth Vein and thus receiving nourishment from them.

The Heaven-Seizing Earth-Vein Creation Technique includes a set of Law Technique, formations, and Divine Ability abilities for cultivating Spirit Vein. Once one successfully advances to the Earth Vein, one can use the power of the Ancestral Vein of heaven and earth to cultivate. As long as the Ancestral Vein do not perish, one's cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.

"This is a road; if you can reach its end, it will be a Path to Immortality, and perhaps you can truly ascend to heaven."

Qing Yin murmured regretfully, his gaze thoughtful, and said, "Unfortunately, I failed."

Chen Nianzhi was deeply the Unseen. He had a feeling that this method, when it came to its end, might be incredibly amazing, and perhaps it could truly lead to ascension to immortality.

He turned his gaze back to the Divine Ability contained in another Jade Slip.
