After roughly half an incense stick's worth of time, Xu Yan stopped. Flying about the Netherworld Domain in a streak of light without restraint was undoubtedly telling everyone that he had spirit stones to spare. That was a road to death.
After all, no one knew whether a giant crocodile in the Golden Core Realm lurked in the shallow waters of the outer region. If he inadvertently ran into one, his chances of escaping alive would not even reach thirty percent.
His divine sense slowly probed his surroundings. A few breaths later, he appeared at the foot of a low mountain.
The mountain was only a little over ten zhang tall and looked utterly unremarkable among the surrounding peaks. Using the Spirit Concealment Flying Sword, Xu Yan quickly carved out a cave abode.
After setting up a second-tier defensive formation at the entrance, he turned and walked deeper into the cave abode.
With a flick of his finger, the pale golden drop of Soul Blood appeared before him.
As he slowly extended his divine sense into the drop of Soul Blood, a densely written cultivation method and accompanying insights immediately appeared in his mind.
Xu Yan's expression grew solemn. He immersed himself fully in it and began studying it word by word, sentence by sentence.
He was still uncertain whether the Mysterious Green Pearl in his sea of consciousness could devour those auras. If it could not, this Spirit Refiner inheritance would be extremely important to him.
If the Green Pearl could devour them, then he would need a Spirit Refiner's techniques as a cover all the more. Otherwise, if anyone learned that his sea of consciousness held a supreme treasure capable of devouring Chaotic Aura and Special Demonic Aura, it would bring a calamity crashing down upon his head.
