Swordholder

Master Tianwei's expression changed slightly, but in an instant, he spoke up jokingly, "Let me go first, and I'll give it to you when we meet again in Western Frontier City."

Chen Yuan's murderous aura surged instantly, and he was about to kill him.

No one, not even a ghost, would believe that.

Moreover, he also possesses the Great Nirvana Creation Sutra.

He just wanted to see the difference.

"No, you promised you wouldn't kill me."

Master Tianwei spoke with a look of horror, "You have gone back on your word! Your Dao heart will suffer a backlash, and you will never make any progress in your life!"

"Brother Yuan, I'll kill him!"

At this moment, Nuomi spoke up, "By storing his soul in the human skin umbrella, we can read his memories. When the time comes, I will give you the Great Nirvana Creation Scripture."

Chen Yuan and Li Wei looked at Nuomi in surprise.

Neither of them expected that the human skin umbrella would have such a function!

Master Tianwei's expression immediately froze.

He looked at the cute little girl with great fear, then couldn't help but look up at the giant black umbrella in the sky.

"No……"

Just as Master Tianwei was about to speak, with a soft "poof," a strand of hair viciously pierced his throat. Immediately, the hair exerted a terrifying force, pulling his body directly into the human skin umbrella high in the sky, where it disappeared into the swirling black mist.

"ah······"

The agonizing screams of the Heavenly Might Master echoed out, sending chills down one's spine; he had clearly suffered terrible torture.

Chen Yuan and Li Wei felt a chill run down their spines as they listened to the screams.

"Hehe, his soul was forcibly ripped out, and his memories were disassembled and analyzed. It hurt a bit, but it'll be over soon."

Nuomi spoke earnestly, her innocent-looking face only adding to the chilling atmosphere.

However, Chen Yuan and Li Wei felt a strong sense of security.

The more powerful and unpredictable Nuomi is, the safer the two of them will be.

The screams were swallowed up, and only the rumbling black mist churned around the human skin umbrella. Tianwei Zhenren's soul was sealed on the surface of the human skin umbrella, facing Chen Yuan and the other two below, letting out lifeless roars and howls.

"If you don't behave, I'll make sure your soul is shattered."

Nuomi grinned, showing her tiger teeth, and said something in a cute but fierce way.

The soul of Tianwei Zhenren inside the human skin umbrella was immediately overwhelmed by the other souls and submerged in the blink of an eye.

Nuomi began to recount the information she had received from the human skin umbrella.

Each syllable was obscure and ancient, but Chen Yuan could understand it.

She was reciting the contents of the first volume of the Mahaparinirvana Sutra.

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up with excitement. He immediately made a mental note of it and, after comparing it with what he had learned from Song Tianwen, filled in the gaps and discovered that the Great Nirvana Creation Scripture here by True Man Tianwei was more complete.

"It's a pity there's only the first volume."

Chen Yuan sighed softly, somewhat regretfully.

The one with Song Tianwen's writing is intact, but the characters inside are incomplete.

However, it was still quite fruitful.

Chen Yuan surveyed his surroundings with satisfaction, then gathered the remains of the Feng family prodigies he had previously killed. He used the Myriad Bones Merging Dao Scripture to refine and fuse their corpses, making them his own and strengthening his own bones and muscles.

At the same time, he also gave the two cultivation manuals to Li Wei and Nuomi, telling them to cultivate them well so that they could have an extra layer of foundation.

Although the cultivation technique is incomplete, it at least has the ability to recover from injuries. Given enough time, it won't even need elixirs for treatment, and that's enough!

It was already night, and although this wilderness was even more dangerous, the forbidden area in the center occasionally emitted chilling roars of beasts and howls of ghosts.

With the protection of the human-shaped umbrella, the three of them could cultivate here in peace without being disturbed.

Compared to other evil spirits, this human skin umbrella is also a terrifying evil object.

Chen Yuan reverted to his original appearance and unleashed the Demon God Devouring Heaven Technique, absorbing the demonic spiritual energy of those he had killed, intending to make the most of them. At the same time, he absorbed the demonic spiritual energy between heaven and earth, eager to advance his demonic cultivation to the Purple Mansion realm.

In that case, he would have two forms of the Purple Mansion.

······

The night passed peacefully.

The next morning, the three of them woke up feeling refreshed.

Chen Yuan's eyes blazed with demonic energy. The death of the Feng family prodigy had made the demonic spiritual power within him so concentrated that he was only one step away from the Purple Mansion realm in the path of demonic cultivation.

Nuomi put away the human skin umbrella.

The three continued on their journey.

With the death of Tianwei Zhenren, this area is now largely deserted.

Even the more than three hundred human prodigies thought there was a terrifying existence here, and they all dared not approach, and no one knew where they had run off to.

Chen Yuan and his companions did not forget their goal for this trip.

That is to find the profound mysteries of the Purple Mansion and the miraculous medicine that Bai Ze mentioned!

They had traveled hundreds of miles when they suddenly heard the sounds of fierce fighting ahead.

"It's the Wolf Guard!"

Li Wei's gaze sharpened, and he spoke in a low voice.

The Wolf Guardians are those outstanding talents of the human race.

Chen Yuan nodded and quickly led the two closer.

On the hilltop ahead, there was a cluster of dilapidated buildings, worn and weathered.

It resembles the ruins of an ancient sect.

Chen Yuan and the other two's gazes fell on the purple runes floating in mid-air, and their pupils shrank!

"That is the profound secret of the Purple Mansion!"

Chen Yuan spoke, and he sensed the same Daoist charm in those purple runes as the blood-red palace in his main aperture.

They're just fundamentally different.

His blood-red palace exudes an aura of slaughter, ferocity, darkness, and ruthlessness!

The Daoist charm of the Purple Mansion runes, however, is pure light power, carrying a radiant righteous energy. It is the Daoist charm of the Purple Mansion that only a true Purple Mansion True Person of the human race possesses!

"It's Li Taiyi and Zhong Yue."

Li Wei looked at the human cultivators and spoke in a low voice.

Chen Yuan looked over and roughly estimated that there were actually several dozen human prodigies following Li Taiyi and Zhong Yue.

And those who fought them were a group of ferocious beasts possessed by demons.

Each of them had eyes that shone with a terrifying demonic light, and sharp claws and teeth that seemed capable of tearing everything apart.

These ferocious beasts were incredibly powerful, forcing Li Taiyi and his companions into a fierce battle, leaving them covered in blood.

Clearly, they wanted to collect these profound mysteries of the Purple Mansion, but they were entangled by these ferocious beasts.

There were also some mangled corpses on the ground. Each one was a prodigy of the human race, who was full of vigor and high spirits just two days ago, but now they had died tragically here.

"Go help!"

Without hesitation, Chen Yuan, along with Li Wei and Nuomi, charged into the battlefield as soon as he finished speaking.

With their arrival, the tide of battle turned instantly!

The Blood Bone Sword in Chen Yuan's hand was incomparably sharp. When a scarlet sword aura was slashed out, more than a dozen ferocious beast heads flew off.

Li Wei swung his golden greatsword like a windmill, rampaging across the battlefield, shattering the bodies of ferocious beasts and sending blood and flesh flying everywhere!

Nuomi made hand seals, unleashing strands of silk that danced and flew across the field, binding the feet of the ferocious beasts and instantly causing them to fall to the ground, howling in pain, unable to get up for a moment.

Chen Yuan and Li Wei immediately stepped forward to finish them off.

The three worked together seamlessly, slaying the ferocious beast, leaving limbs and severed bodies flying everywhere.

This terrified the remaining ferocious beasts. They stared intently at Chen Yuan and his companions for a moment, then turned and ran.

Li Taiyi, Zhong Yue, and the remaining human prodigies were overjoyed to see Chen Yuan and his two companions appear!

"Great, Chen Yuan and the others are here!"

"My God, they're amazing!"

"We're saved!"

……

The crowd was thrilled and cheered.

The gazes of everyone looking at Chen Yuan and his two companions were filled with admiration and gratitude.

"Brother Chen, where have you been these past few days?"

Li Taiyi stepped forward and asked excitedly, "We have found the profound secrets of the Purple Mansion, but we have no way to contact you."

"That's right, we were just planning to come find you after we finished collecting all these profound mysteries of the Purple Mansion."

Zhong Yue also spoke in a low voice, his face full of excitement.

Chen Yuan glanced at the crowd. Most of them had eager eyes, but one man and one woman looked at him with a strange and evasive gaze.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Those were the Daoist couple he had saved in the southeast direction; they had seen his demonized form.

Chen Yuan didn't pay any attention to that, but looked at Li Taiyi and Zhong Yue and answered them, "We came from the southeast."

"To the southeast? Have you seen any human experts at the Purple Mansion level battling those three demon kings there?"

Li Taiyi spoke in shock.

"have."

Chen Yuan nodded. "That human Purple Mansion expert was extremely brave and incredibly handsome."

Li Wei, "???"

He looked at Chen Yuan in disbelief.

"real?"

Li Taiyi immediately became excited, "Is he really that powerful? No wonder he was able to kill those three demon kings and attract the attention of those peerless ferocious beasts in the central area, who want to come out and avenge those three demon kings."

Chen Yuan's gaze sharpened. "What's inside the central area?"

Li Taiyi narrowed his eyes.

"Based on my speculation, besides some great horrors, there's probably also a strange elixir from three thousand years ago!"
