Who would linger for this technique, wasting time?

Therefore, although this magic is powerful, it is destined to be a mere chicken rib. Only someone like Tang Xiaoping, a Purple Mansion Cultivator, unintentionally obsessed with its research, would practice it and pass it down to this day.

The Formless Ancient Race never intended for their youngsters to enter Gusha Mountain for cultivation. After all, in their view, external experiences are very necessary for clan members of lower realms. Entering the family's self-preserved "Greenhouse" early is meaningless and ought to be rejected.

Hence, the difficulty of this "Gusha Mountain Test" is hardest for those in the Refining Profound Realm.

Next comes the Crimson Palace, Purple Mansion...

The "Refining Profound Realm's Gusha Mountain Test" is not designed for anyone to successfully pass. If Song Yan weren't a prodigy who caught the attention of the Yin Yang Profound Dragon for ten breaths, his request would have been outright rejected, let alone arranged for a test.

Time passed by, second by second.

Princess Xi quietly watched the youth sitting among the long grass. Originally, she chose this youth because of his powerful talent, but as she got to know him, she increasingly felt her choice was correct.

This youth is not only powerful in Divine Soul Talent but also in comprehension, to an unbelievable degree.

Her heart was thoroughly settled.

If this youth cannot help her explore the truth of the Dragon Elephant Ancient Race's survival, then perhaps no one in the world can.

Now, this youth is still very weak. Her every effort to protect him, every completed order, is accumulating cause and effect...

Song Yan knew his performance today had thoroughly rooted him deeply within the Formless Ancient Race.

Even the trace of "evaluation" that might have existed in Princess Xi's heart had vanished.

He had no other choice.

Having the fertile land of the Formless Ancient Race for breathing and development was already enough.

Half a day later...

Words appeared on Song Yan's panel:

[Technique]

Three Steps to Heaven (Uninitiated) (Simulation State)

He skillfully utilized wisdom and sweat, spending 100 years to perfect it, and then 530 years to change it to "Two Steps to Heaven."

When time ended, it was already deep into the night.

The sky was filled with stars, brilliant starlight and moonlight intertwining.

Song Yan stood up.

The crowd said no more words, just quietly watched him.

Song Yan took two steps forward, raised his hand, and punched, shattering the starlight across the sky, causing a misty light to spread. The world presented a fragmented feeling, with penetrating power like a vast net, precisely locking in mid-air and not descending a bit further.

Otherwise...the forest here would be completely shattered by this punch.

No one said anything else, nor could they say anything.

The four people looked at Song Yan with varying expressions.

Tang Yanzhang only left one sentence: "The prodigy of our clan ought to be concealed, let him be known to the world once he enters the Purple Mansion."

Tang Xiaokong and Tang Xiaoping nodded one after another.

Princess Xi looked at Song Yan with a few more traces of genuine respect, a respect for a future strong figure.

...

...

Days later.

Song Yan settled at Gusha Mountain.

He brought four attendants: Princess Xi, An Li, Yu Xuanwei, Wang Susu.

There is one more spot, which will be dealt with later.

The next step was to find a body for An Li to seize.

His matters had spread among the upper echelons of the Formless Ancient Race, so...finding a body for An Li became the Formless Ancient Race's business.

The Formless Ancient Race quickly selected some Refining Profound Cultivators with excellent Profound Roots, compiled a roster for Song Yan to choose from.

But An Li refused upon receiving the list.

She didn't want to kill, especially these talented cultivators with ordinary backgrounds.

Song Yan seemed to sense something, directly communicating through his godfather, then clearly stating "There's no need to find, there'll be arrangements."

He derived a sense of benevolence from An Li.

Due to An Li, he began to treat others with kindness.

If the Formless Ancient Race truly played "forcing some prodigy to be seized," then...if An Li learned of this, she'd likely fall into darkness, even if not, she'd no longer be his source of benevolence.

This would be a case of a good intention backfiring, directly destroying the hard-earned opportunity of a Purple Mansion Middle Stage.

Tang Xiaokong trusted him extremely, whatever he said would be done, so when he said not to look, they simply stopped searching.

For a while, Princess Xi continued collecting the "Nine Bloods of the Dragon Elephant" for Song Yan;

Wang Susu and Yu Xuanwei, thanks to Song Yan's favor, began officially lining up for the use of "the two Profound Hearts of Gusha Mountain";

While Song Yan engaged in Skin Making, traveling with An Li disguised as a common couple, left Gusha Mountain, and began searching for suitable targets in Qinghuan Kingdom and nearby sects.

Song Yan's Divine Soul was extremely formidable; his Divine Sense spread out easily, locking onto places where Profound Qi erupted. In other words...once there was conflict, he could sense it immediately. And conflict often accompanied demise. Seizing someone who has fallen and avenging them shouldn't be considered evil, right?

During this time, he intentionally or unintentionally investigated those ten cultivators he had deliberately sent out.

Of ten, only five died.

While Immortal Mother Xing was attacked, she resolved it with ease.

Evidently, the Demon Monk, even if having seized the Insect King, could not extend his hand so long to cause chaos on the territory of the Formless Ancient Country.

As for why the Insect King.

It was because Song Yan easily learned that the only escapee of the "Soul Threshold of the Servant King" was the Insect King.

Isn't the Demon Monk, yet who is it?

Song Yan, to hide his identity, set up layers of barriers, and the Demon Monk is still unable to breach even the first layer.
