The entire map was filled with ethereal and otherworldly immortal qi, exuding an air of elegance and calmness, yet there wasn't a shred of evil qi, malice, or blood aura.

Anyone who saw this map might think that the immortal on it was perhaps not the most perfect person, but would certainly be someone you'd want to associate with, be it as a friend, teacher-student, spouse, or any other relationship...

You would definitely consider knowing such a person an honor and would place them in the most important position in your life...

Lifebound Secret Technique complete!

Song Yan glanced at the panel, where a column appeared: [Lifebound Secret Technique: Free Celestial Demon Map].

He frowned.

'Why is it called Free Celestial Demon Map?'

'This name is inappropriate; it should be Free Celestial Immortal Map.'

However, it was just a name, so he didn't mind.

Immediately after, he began to carefully understand the uses of this lifebound secret technique.

First, Demon Sound Soul Capture, devouring vitality;

Second, locks, swords, and banners are all as real treasures capable of hurting people, but without being forged with profound yellow material, they are equivalent to the locks, swords, and banners you carry and add nothing extra. At this stage, they are purely redundant;

Third, empty hands can hold any secret technique or secret treasure for disguise. Whatever secret technique you hold, your Free Celestial Demon Map will transform into that secret technique;

Fourth, the dense mist can conceal divine soul aura, transform divine soul aura, or mimic divine soul aura.

'The first two are actually powers I already possess; the most important power of this Free Celestial Demon Map is the latter two. The functionality of this map far exceeds its offensive capabilities.'

'Originally, I planned to leave the Formless Ancient Race, but now there's no need, as I can disguise the Free Celestial Demon Map to appear as the Hundred Forms Life and Death Stake.'

'As for concealing, transforming, and mimicking divine soul aura, it not only allows me to evade detection from things like the Qi Observation Pearl but also grants various effects. Now, I can truly hide among mortals without being discovered.'

"Heh... hehehe... hahahaha!!"

Upon realizing this, Song Yan was instantly overjoyed.

The long-standing problem was solved effortlessly!

If he didn't have the Formless Ancient Race as a backing, even if he managed to escape, he would face endless troubles, not only being hunted by the Mountain and Sea Demon Race but also being wanted by the Formless Ancient Race. As for the Nine-Child Demon Mother, they were not on the same path, so he would truly find himself surrounded by enemies.

'To see a thousand miles further, one must ascend to a higher level! Problems unsolvable at a low realm become no issue with a higher realm! From now on, I can truly lead a good life!!

Whether I return to the Formless Ancient Race or disappear into the mundane world, it is all a matter of my whim, splendid, truly splendid!'

After comprehending the lifebound secret technique, Song Yan felt his internal strength surging, with an aura of wanting to soar to the sky.

He knew that as long as he continued following this aura, he would be undergoing a "minor celestial tribulation".

Once passed, he would step into the late stage of the Purple Mansion.

He came here originally to undergo the late stage of the Purple Mansion...

However, after understanding the Free Celestial Demon Map, he suddenly changed his mind.

He wanted to reserve the breakthrough for the Formless Ancient Race, to let them witness him cultivating the Hundred Forms Life and Death Stake to breakthrough to the late stage of the Purple Mansion.

In fact, when facing the Insect Lady and Elephant Emperor, being in the late stage of the Purple Mansion wasn't as significant.

The crucial element was the Free Celestial Demon Map.

Although this map was still in its early stage, it could already exert a considerable impact.

With all thoughts settled, Song Yan stood up, glanced over the secret realm shrouded in the rising mist, his expression shifted slightly, and then swiftly returned to the end of the Tumor Realm.

Upon reaching the place between secret realms and secret realms that day, just by slightly activating that gray light, the secret realm would open.

After several attempts, he roughly understood the principle: It was not he who opened the secret realm, but rather this Tumor Realm was filled with the aura of the Sea of Suffering. By using his own Sea of Suffering aura as an introduction, he could naturally use this Tumor Realm's Sea of Suffering aura to open the secret realm. Otherwise, even a Divine Infant late stage would require some time to forcibly open the secret realm.

This meant that even if the Insect Lady or Elephant Emperor wanted to come here, it would take some time. What's more... he didn't believe they would both enter.

One comes in to catch, the other blocks the door outside; that would be the logical approach.

...

...

At the end of the Soul Threshold.

Demon Mother Su Yao had already completed her setup behind the black heart.

Song Yan stared at those arrangements.

It was a snow-white cloak floating in mid-air, enough space underneath for four to five people to stand.

"You broke through?" Demon Mother Su Yao asked coldly.

Song Yan sighed, "My dear, I failed."

Upon hearing this, Demon Mother Su Yao showed a gentle smile and encouraged, "Husband, don't take it to heart. Failing once is nothing; you'll surely succeed next time. If you don't, then perhaps there's no hope for reaching the late stage of Purple Mansion or the Divine Infant Realm in this lifetime.

But I'm not worried because with your talent, husband, it's certainly impossible to fail, right? Hehehe..."

Song Yan could feel the obvious "trap" in those words. If he truly failed to break through and tried a second time, encountering a minor setback and recalling Demon Mother Su Yao's words could damage his mental realm, leading to unfavorable results. If he did indeed fail, Demon Mother Su Yao's words would become a thorn in his heart, drastically increasing the difficulty of his third attempt to break through.

"Stop jabbering, I... I will definitely succeed! The second time, I won't fail!"

Song Yan clenched his fist tightly.

Demon Mother Su Yao squinted at him, feeling something was off.

Song Yan looked at the snow-white cloak, stepped inside, and immediately felt his aura completely dissolving into the surrounding environment, becoming a part of the black heart. Clearly, this snow-white cloak was an extremely rare treasure.
