The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

The Supreme Elder nodded in satisfaction, feeling even more pleased with Cui Yi.

To be able to say something like "I only seek peace of mind" shows that one is neither arrogant nor greedy, revealing one's character and magnanimity.

No wonder the Red Demon likes this kid so much!

Considering the limited opening time of the Blood Pool, the Supreme Elder waved his hand to interrupt the conversation between the two, "Cui Yi, the Blood Pool opportunity is precious, don't delay, go in."

"Mu Yangyan has a special constitution and will need to go into seclusion for some time to come."

"You two can catch up next time you meet."

Upon hearing this, Cui Yi no longer hesitated. He turned around, bowed to the Supreme Elder, and then flashed into the entrance of the back mountain.

When Cui Yi entered, he discovered that the so-called forbidden area in the back mountain was actually a huge cave.

Countless dark red stalactites hung from the cave ceiling, dripping with a viscous, blood-like spiritual liquid.

In the center of the cave is a pool nearly a hundred feet in diameter.

The pool was not filled with ordinary water, but with a thick, dark red liquid that was constantly radiating a scorching heat!

This is the Thousand-Year Blood Pool!

Cui Yi looked at the water in the pool with great surprise. Blood vapor rose from the surface of the pool, transforming into various ferocious and illusory beast shapes, sometimes roaring and sometimes dissipating, looking extremely fierce.

There are also ten slightly raised, blood-red stone platforms distributed around the pool, which are obviously cultivation positions prepared for those who enter.

Those who had arrived earlier had already found a stone platform and sat down cross-legged.

Cui Yi found a nearby spot and as soon as he sat down on the stone platform, he felt a gentle suction force coming from the platform beneath him, guiding his consciousness to slowly sink and establish a connection with the vast and powerful blood-fiend spiritual energy in the blood pool below.

Guided by this force, Cui Yi immediately focused his mind, activated the Refining Spirit Technique, and began cultivating by drawing upon the spiritual energy in the pool.

Soon, everyone entered a state of deep cultivation, their minds merging with the spiritual energy of the blood pool, fully absorbing this rare opportunity.

Inside the cave, only the gurgling sound of the blood pool and the rising energy fluctuations emanating from the group remained.

At that moment, Cui Yi's sea of ​​consciousness began to tremble!

After being thoroughly refined by the Floating Pagoda, Cao Xiong's soul was finally completely transformed into the purest life force and merged into Cui Yi's body!

This infusion of vitality extended Cui Yi's lifespan by a full 370 years!

The unexpected gift made Cui Yi, who was in the midst of deep cultivation, tremble.

It's better to refine skillfully than to refine early!

Cui Yi reacted extremely quickly. Almost the instant he sensed the surge in his lifespan, a thought emerged with crystal clarity!

This is a golden opportunity to monopolize the Millennium Blood Pool!

At this moment, he was in the Thousand-Year Blood Pool, where the spiritual energy emanating from the pool was almost inexhaustible. Simply relying on his own cultivation to absorb the spiritual energy would probably not be very advantageous.

However, if he takes this opportunity to fuse the Divine Refining Technique and the Blood Fiend Seizing Yuan Technique, and then uses the remaining lifespan to deduce and cultivate the fused technique, he can speed up the process by at least half!

This is a golden opportunity, and once it's gone, it's gone forever!

"Deducing the Refining Spirit Technique and the Blood Fiend Seizing Yuan Technique requires burning two hundred years of lifespan, and the process is irreversible!"

"Since the fused cultivation technique includes a Heaven-rank technique, it will not be damaged. However, failure will still deduct the required lifespan. Do you wish to continue?"

"continue!"

At Cui Yi's command, the originally dim and blurry outline of the second level of the Floating Pagoda suddenly burst forth with an indescribable, profound light!

Within the mystical light, countless ancient runes of Buddha, directly formed from the rules of heaven and earth, appeared in the sky, flowing, colliding, decomposing, and recombining in a way full of vitality, as if undergoing a grand evolution!

The simulation officially begins!

......

[Year 10]: In the long process of exploration, you still haven't found the point of integration.

[Fifteenth Year]: You abandoned the idea of ​​simply superimposing the two and began to look for resonance between the two seemingly contradictory forces from the most basic operating logic and energy properties.

[Fifty Year]: You begin to try to use your mental power as a guide to more accurately sense the vitality and soul power fluctuations within the target's body, in preparation for devouring, replacing the original method of plundering.

[Eightyth Year]: You are no longer satisfied with superficial guidance. You delve into the combination of mental power and devouring. You visualize your own sea of ​​consciousness transforming into an invisible vortex, constructing a brand new devouring force field.

[The First Hundred Years]: You no longer try to force your own meridians and dantian to withstand the enormous energy that has been devoured. Instead, the moment all the life force, blood, and soul power fragments enter your body, they are directly sent into the internal space of the Floating Pagoda, where the Floating Pagoda will carry out the most thorough refining!

[Year 120]: You have deeply bound the core of your cultivation technique to the refining function of the Floating Pagoda. From now on, for you, devouring will only provide pure nutrition, and there will be no more worries about backlash!

[Year 150]: Based on the purification feedback of the Pagoda, you established a unique internal circulation system, which made your foundation not only undamaged but also increasingly solid and robust as it was constantly devoured and refined.

[165th Year]: Through a long process of refinement and optimization, you have perfectly integrated the essence of the Divine Refining Technique regarding the stabilization of the soul into the new technique, enabling you to maintain a clear mind during the absorption process and not be easily affected by residual resentment.

[Chapter 190]: You have reconstructed several highly efficient techniques for plundering and converting life force in the Blood Fiend Essence-Seizing Technique using mental power, making them more controllable.

[The 200th year]: A flash of inspiration strikes your mind, and all the scattered insights and new operating paths are integrated and woven together, ultimately condensing into an extremely complex primordial rune!

……

……

"Deduction complete!"

"You have mastered the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique, the Divine Fiend Devouring Heaven Technique!"

"This technique is unique; no one else but you can learn it."

"In addition, this technique possesses three additional characteristics:"

1. A dual-core cultivation system where mental power and true qi advance simultaneously and complement each other. If one breaks through, the other will also break through simultaneously, with no bottlenecks. Furthermore, during the cultivation process, spiritual energy from any source will be prioritized for the cultivator.

2. Your dantian and qi sea are twice the size of ordinary people, and your true qi and mental power reserves are increasing in tandem. However, it will be more difficult for you to advance your realm than for ordinary people.

3. Impervious to all attacks, the technique contains a trace of the purifying Daoist essence of the Floating Pagoda, possessing extremely strong resistance to inner demons, resentment, and attacks on the soul. It will not be corrupted by negative emotions when absorbing any external objects.

The instant these thoughts surfaced in his mind, a vast flood of insights swept over every inch of Cui Yi's soul and body like a burst dam.

It worked!

Cui Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his aura became increasingly profound and unpredictable!

It cost two hundred years of lifespan to allow the Refining God Technique to undergo a transformation. The price was worth it!
