Chapter 142 Yin and Yang in Harmony
The faceless demon roared repeatedly, trying to break through the formation, but was intercepted by the Nine-Bend Python's tail whips.

It hastily raised its arm to block the dragon claw that the demonic dragon was slapping down, but four phantoms transformed from demons from the secret realm took the opportunity to attack. As their sharp claws crossed, they quickly slashed out and left many terrible wounds on its demonic body.

In an instant, the fifth floor was filled with malevolent energy, and the chaotic battle between the demons was so fierce that it darkened the sky and the earth.

Even though the seven-headed demonic dragon was too large to unleash its full power.

Even so, the faceless demon was forced to retreat under the relentless onslaught.

"I have carefully confirmed that this secret realm is consistent with the inscription, and only the fifth level has demonic aura."

Shi Xuan whispered in his ear, "But there seems to be a hidden space deep underground."

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow and stepped through the cracks in the ground once more:

"Perhaps it's where the Heaven-Seizing Alliance hides its treasures?"

"There's a good chance."

Shi Xuan paused slightly, then suddenly chuckled, "Your ability to summon shadows to aid you in battle is truly remarkable. That faceless demon, so powerful, is now being easily manipulated."

At this moment, the battle situation has become one-sided.

Every roar of the faceless demon was interrupted, and its body crashed back and forth between the stone walls.

Whenever it struggled desperately, the demonic dragon and the nine-curved python would join forces to suppress it with the force of a mountain, until demonic blood splattered everywhere.

This person, whose cultivation was approaching the Spirit Profound Realm, was beaten so badly by the group that he was on the verge of death.

"It's not good to delay for too long."

Su Cheng stepped forward with his sword drawn, and silver flames burst forth on the blade, instantly condensing into a single, cold star at the tip.

This is a good opportunity to test the strongest sword strike I can currently unleash.

At the same time, the four phantom spirit messengers used their magic to summon a sword array that forcibly bound the faceless demon in mid-air, pinning its limbs and torso to death with sword shadows.

"drink!"

Su Cheng suddenly slashed down with his sword, the sword light flashing like a bolt of lightning across the sky, causing ripples to appear in the void like a mirror.

The faceless demon's struggle abruptly halted, its body instantly slid in two, blood splattering everywhere.

[Absorption of pure spiritual energy: 10 years] [Absorption of impure spiritual energy: 120 years] [Absorption of dark domain mystic energy: 5 years]

"call"

Su Chengna returned to his original state, satisfied, and dissipated the spiritual energy from the sword.

With the Seven Luminaries Mystic Pivot, he no longer needs to rely on spiritual energy to injure someone at the peak of the Core Formation stage.

After that, if they encountered a Spirit Profound cultivator, they would have more confidence in dealing with them.

"After that, it's time for the next level."

With a thought, Su Cheng raised the seven-headed demonic dragon claws high and slammed them down onto the ground.

In an instant, the grotto shattered, revealing a dark ancient palace hidden ten feet below.

"This is."

As soon as Su Cheng landed with the puppet in his arms, he noticed that the surrounding area was filled with blood energy, which was flowing from all directions along some mysterious patterns on the ground and converging on the center of the palace.

[Detected 'Myriad Souls Blood Fusion Array,' a perfect-grade pill array]

After a brief investigation, Shi Xuan quickly murmured, "Someone is causing trouble outside the secret realm, injecting spiritual energy to accelerate the refining process."

"It must have been done by the Heaven-Seizing Alliance?"

Su Cheng followed the flow of blood and qi, his gaze gradually hardening.

A blood-red longsword was seen wrapped in countless pieces of flesh and blood, its red light trembling and flashing like a heartbeat.

The sword was covered in intricate runes, exuding an extremely ominous and terrifying aura.

[The Demonic Heart Blood-Slaying Sword, a Spirit Profound Weapon (Under Forging)] [Requires the blood and souls of ten thousand people to forge and sharpen.]

"It seems that this is the treasure that the Heaven-Seizing Alliance has been longing for."

Su Cheng shifted his gaze slightly and looked at a blood-red ancient tree not far away.

[Blood Soul Tree, a spiritual material] [It can temper flesh and soul, gather spiritual energy from all directions, and bear fruit only once every hundred years]

Looking at the eight scarlet fruits hanging on the tree, Su Cheng couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement: "The Heaven-Seizing Alliance has buried quite a few treasures."

"This tree is more valuable than that weapon."

Shi Xuan appeared beside him, looking up at the crimson beads on the branch: "These fruits contain pure soul power. If you can eat them, you will have the opportunity to condense a spiritual soul and glimpse the threshold of the Spirit Profound Realm."

Moreover, if a cultivator specializing in evil spirits or blood refinement uses this Blood Soul Fruit to enhance their destiny star path, they might even have the chance to condense a second divine ability.

"Soul power."

Su Cheng's mind stirred slightly, and he glanced at her curiously: "So, you can take it too?"

Shi Xuan frowned slightly: "Your cultivation is more important now—" "As long as you can eat, that's fine."

Without saying a word, Su Cheng picked a few soul fruits and stuffed them into her hand.

"Nonsense." Shi Xuan glared at him as if scolding him, "At least listen to me."

"It won't do me any harm if you recover your soul sooner."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "You can gain even more when you cultivate together."

Shi Xuan was speechless for a moment, her cheeks flushing with a delicate blush: "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about?"

Even so, she couldn't help but hold the Soul Fruit close to her chest, feeling a warm glow in her heart.
"Alright, now all I need to do is take this sword and this tree, and that's it?"

"Um"

Shi Xuan blushed and nodded, about to give a few more instructions, when his expression suddenly froze. "Wait."

"what happened?"

Meeting the questioning gaze, she seemed to sense something and looked to the distance: "Look over there."

"What's wrong with it?"

Su Cheng looked in that direction and soon noticed something unusual.

The entire palace was covered in array markings, and a crimson, foul aura permeated the air. Yet, in that particular direction, the crimson light was thin, as if avoided by a venomous snake.
"There is another spiritual treasure here."

Shi Xuan solemnly said, "Moreover, its quality is extremely extraordinary, enough to make even the abundant foul air of this place retreat."

"Could this also have been planted by the Heaven-Seizing Alliance?"

“No.” Shi Xuan pondered, “When they set up the fierce array and refined this flesh and blood furnace, they would never have used spiritual materials with conflicting auras. This would be tantamount to destroying the furnace themselves.”

Su Cheng was surprised and followed the trail with his sword.

The ground here is covered with fine cracks, and there are even a few wisps of black and white energy flowing out from the cracks.

A flash of sword light appeared in his hand, and in an instant, a deep pit was dug open, revealing a dark crevice more than ten feet wide below, from which a clear and cool aura emanated.

"Shall we go in and take a look?"

"it is good."

Su Cheng ordered the seven-headed demonic dragon and other phantoms to guard the outside, and then took the puppet and Shi Xuan with him as they stepped into the rift tunnel.

After descending about ten feet, they suddenly saw a strange two-colored flower blooming on the rock face.

The black and white petals are like yin and yang fish, head to tail, while the lotus core exhales black and white mysterious energy.

"Twin Lotuses of Yin and Yang?"

Shi Xuan covered his mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "The president is actually here?"

Su Cheng's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. This lotus was one of the main ingredients for refining the Guanghua Yuqing Pill, and its rarity was such that even the Eastern Chen Kingdom's treasury did not possess it.

Unexpectedly, today's events unfolded by chance—

"I see!"

Shi Xuan clapped his hands in sudden realization: "This lotus can only be conceived and born in a filthy and evil place. It needs to be nurtured by pure spiritual energy for a hundred years before it can bloom and grow!"

Her eyes flickered as she looked at Su Cheng: "The Heaven-Seizing Alliance's centuries of preparation have ironically become the breeding ground for this lotus."

"It really came at the perfect time." Su Cheng couldn't help but marvel.

He was about to reach out and pick it when Shi Xuansu gently stopped him with her hand.

“There’s no rush.” She quickly explained, “This lotus withers as soon as it leaves its roots. If you want to refine the Guanghua Yuqing Pill, you only need to pick the three outer lotus leaves.”

However, the lotus seed core is a rare treasure and must be consumed and refined as soon as possible to prevent it from losing its medicinal properties.

"Is there anything else to say?"

"Hmm." Shi Xuan nodded in response: "Refining the lotus core might help you improve your destiny star grade."

"Then how do we refine it?"

"Just uh."

As Shi Xuangang recalled the method of refining, his words suddenly faltered, and his jade-like neck flushed crimson.

She twisted her sleeves, fidgeting and bowing her head hesitantly: "It requires the union of Yin and Yang to activate the lotus core's mystical energy."

Su Cheng looked puzzled: "You mean, you want to cultivate with both of us while refining this lotus?"

"Oh dear, you!"

Shi Xuanqing blushed deeply and playfully punched his shoulder, saying, "Don't be so blunt."
