Whoosh!

At the moment of the Tree Demon Granny’s demise, gusts of black wind emerged out of nowhere, enveloping Ding Ling.

This is the curse of resentment.

It was the Tree Demon Granny’s last-ditch ‘killer skill’!

Ding Ling frowned slightly, trying to repel the curse, only to find that the curse was pervasive and hard to dispel.

After the curse entered his body.

Ding Ling had no choice but to suppress it with Vast Righteous Qi and Buddha Qi.

Fortunately, the Vast Righteous Qi and Buddha Qi were natural counters to such curses.

With them being suppressed at the heart.

The curse seemed to transform into an old locust tree, swaying and roaring furiously.

Ding Ling glanced at it, then ignored it, quickly unfolding the Sword Realm, and started stripping away the memory stream of the Tree Demon Granny.

Before long.

[Unlimited Heaven and Earth Demon Technique Full Level]

[Strength +1.1]

[Agility +1.1]

[Constitution +1.1]

[Extreme Demon Realm Demon Technique Full Level]

[Strength +1.2]

[Agility +1.2]

[Constitution +1.2]

[Yin God Cultivation Technique (Incomplete) Full Level]

[Wisdom +0.4]

…

The Yin God Cultivation Technique remains incomplete.

But it’s apparent.

The Tree Demon Granny’s Yin God Cultivation Technique is more complete, allowing direct cultivation to the Primordial Spirit level.

While Nie Xiaoqian’s version is far inferior, only reaching the Shattered Great Perfection level.

Thus, with the full level of the Yin God Cultivation Technique this time, wisdom increased by another 0.4.

With the increase in wisdom, the stripping of the memory stream seemed to become much smoother.

Simultaneously.

The Martial Dao True Understanding automatically operated.

Beginning to frantically absorb and intake the Spiritual Qi and demon qi from the broken tree roots in the void.

[Inner Power Value +100]

[Inner Power Value +100]

…

The quality of these demon qi is quite high, far exceeding the True Qi of the previous eight Demon Cultivator Experts!

So just in a moment, 700 points of Inner Power Value were absorbed.

Generating seven strands of True Qi.

Finally converging into two drops of Martial Dao True Water, merging into the Golden Core.

[True Power Value: 507 Points]

The demon qi provided by a half-step Primordial Spirit level demon can only increase about 700 points.

And this was a Tree Demon with roots spread across the entire underground world!

In terms of the exuberance of its demon qi, it far surpasses other demons and martial arts masters.

“Looks like to advance quickly, I must absorb the True Qi or demon qi of Primordial Spirit level experts.”

Ding Ling pondered.

Continuing to strip away the stream of consciousness.

[Ninefold Demon Demon Technique (Incomplete) Full Level]

[Demon Power Value +1]

Whoosh!

Rolling Spiritual Qi gathered, ultimately producing a very demonic air in the Dantian!

This air was spontaneously formed by the Ninefold Demon Demon Technique (Incomplete) Full Level.

This air is extremely strange and powerful.

It rampaged through Ding Ling’s Dantian, ultimately being suppressed by the Martial Arts Golden Core, not daring to act rashly, instead spiraling in one corner, unmoving.

“I am human, inherently incompatible with demon power value, so let’s break this demon air and convert it to magical power.”

Demon air and magical power are the same tier of air.

Ding Ling chose to crush this air using the Martial Arts Golden Core, then operated the Xuanyuan Divine Sword Scripture, absorbing this air to the Middle Dantian, converting it into Sword Qi.

Quickly.

One more strand of Sword Qi appeared in the Middle Dantian.

[Mana Value: 4 Points]

By this step.

The memory stream of the Tree Demon Granny had mostly dissipated.

In the final small part of the memory.

Ding Ling unexpectedly learned a secret.

That the Tree Demon Granny’s development of intelligence was related to a Spiritual Spring and Spirit Vein here.

According to the Tree Demon Granny’s memories.

In the heavens and earth, Spirit Veins are few and extremely rare.

Therefore, Spirit Veins are mostly occupied by large sects and Great Demons!

Ordinary loose cultivators and weak demons do not have the qualification to occupy Spirit Veins.

And here at Lanruo Temple there is a small, very hidden Spirit Vein.

“The Spirit Vein is right here?”

Ding Ling activated the Spiritual Eye and Heaven-Reaching Ear of the Sword Spirit, and also activated the Divine Meditation Technique, carefully observing the surroundings.

Lo and behold.

Below the throne a hundred meters in the Earth Realm, there is a small region emitting extremely dense Spiritual Light.

Ding Ling activated ‘Form and Spirit as Sword’, with Xuanyuan Sword leading the way.

He then transformed into a magpie, following behind.

The gap opened by Xuanyuan Sword was just right for the magpie to pass through.

Whoosh whoosh!

In just a few blinks, the hundred-meter Earth Realm was pierced by Xuanyuan Sword.

The magpie incarnation of Ding Ling landed atop the ‘Spiritual Spring’ well.

He saw a ‘heart’.

This heart was beating, just the intensity and amplitude of its beats were rapidly decreasing.

As if its master died, it is about to die too.

Ding Ling recalled the stripped memory stream, confirming one thing.

That this heart was indeed the so-called Spirit Vein!

“It seems this Spirit Vein was refined by the Tree Demon Granny into her heart!”

“No wonder an ordinary old locust tree could cultivate into human form over a thousand years and become a demon that could contend with Yanz Chixia, even if heavily injured, would recover in a century. It turns out she refined a Spirit Vein into her heart?!”

Ding Ling clicked his tongue:

“What an enormous stroke of opportunity this Thousand-Year Tree Demon had! Had it not perished and continued cultivating quietly, becoming a peerless Great Demon in the future seems almost inevitable. Unfortunately, this Great Demon thought the cultivation speed was slow, then conceived the idea of devouring living people’s Yang Qi to assist cultivation, and even implemented it, this was treading on the path of evil!”

Ding Ling shook his head.

Devouring others’ Yang Qi for cultivation.

Though it accelerates one’s cultivation rapidly in a short time, it is tantamount to cutting off one’s future path! Severing one’s Dao route!

Who knows which dim-witted fellow taught her this vicious and heretical method, leading her astray on this evil demon path.

Originally having this pure Spirit Vein as a heart, the Tree Demon Granny had unlimited prospects!

“But now, it all benefits me!”

Ding Ling estimated that the so-called ultimate treasure mentioned by the Tree Demon Granny must be this heart!

He shook his body, transformed back into human form, leaned down, and picked up this heart.

Sure enough.

Rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged against him!

“A heart formed by a small Spirit Vein!”

Ding Ling smiled slightly, instinctively operated the Martial Dao True Understanding to begin refining this heart.

[Inner Power Value +100]

[Inner Power Value +100]

…

Upon refining.

In Ding Ling’s Dantian, drops of True Water began to increase.

These True Water continued merging into the Golden Core.

Making Ding Ling’s strength and cultivation rapidly soar.

In just a moment.

True Water increased by a full 8 drops!

This is an extremely terrifying number.

It’s known that killing eight Demon Cultivator Experts only yielded 3 drops!

Killing the Tree Demon yielded only 2 drops!

This was just the absorption of less than one-tenth of the Spiritual Qi from the heart, yet yielded 8 drops!

“Very good.”

Ding Ling was greatly delighted.

“It seems the breakthrough is today.”

No better day than today!

Let’s have the breakthrough here!

Ding Ling thought thus.

Then began sitting cross-legged atop the Spiritual Spring well, clutching the heart tightly, and started rapidly refining this heart.

[Inner Power Value +100]

[Inner Power Value +100]

…

Endless Spiritual Qi rushing into the Lower Dantian.
