But this is not enough, Song Yan sat cross-legged and began to operate the Technique of "External Corpse Demon Corpse Refining Secret Technique" to completely refine this Netherworld Corpse Demon.

"The time required will be about fifteen years, and every day for these fifteen years, I need to operate the refinement Technique beside this corpse for at least one hour."

"During the rest of the time, I will hunt some Demon Beasts or Celestial Calamity Beasts around to provide nourishment for the little Nether Tree."

Song Yan contemplated the future plans and then looked at the large hand of the Demon Monk's corpse. His eyes moved slightly as he thought to himself, 'Perhaps I should carve an Absolute Profound Array. Although it is not as direct and effective as the Little Celestial Dao Characters, as long as the Array Flag is set, more advantages can be gained...'

The sky darkened towards dusk.

Song Yan sat cross-legged, reinforcing the surrounding Defense Array and Illusion Technique Array while observing the progress of the refinement.

Once he confirmed the refining progress was on track, he began to venture out, observing the surrounding terrain, then departing early and returning late, randomly hunting some Celestial Calamity Beasts and Demon Beasts in the distance, and bringing them back to nourish the Nether Tree.

A feeling of "peaceful life" arose in his heart once again.

...

...

Time flew by, and several years passed.

Song Yan always lived a peaceful life.

During this period, twice he felt the small members of the Formless Ancient Race use the clan Token, so he also experienced two instances of remote intervention.

Because he only intervened once, he didn't need to consider a long fight. He immediately used "Little Celestial Dao Characters" combined with "One Step to Heaven," plus the "Hundred Forms Life and Death Stake illusioned from the Free Celestial Demon Map."

A large hand appeared directly in the void, and as the Life and Death Stake descended, basically... no matter what enemies those little ones faced, they would be crushed by him on the spot.

The prestige of Formless Celestial Venerable had gradually overshadowed the name of Tang Xiaoxuan, the Clan Leader of the Formless Ancient Race. The clansmen of the Formless Ancient Race felt this most deeply.

Basically, when you were traveling outside, many times if you mentioned Tang Xiaoxuan, others wouldn't say much, but if you mentioned Formless Celestial Venerable, others might step aside voluntarily.

The so-called prestige was built by both "benevolent" and "invincible."

Even though Song Yan was not invincible, he had to support it for the Formless Ancient Race.

However, no one thought that the prestigious Formless Celestial Venerable was actually hiding and refining an ancient corpse secretly at this time.

At the end of the year... with the snowfall again, Song Yan clearly felt that more Celestial Calamity Earth Beasts were wandering around.

...

...

The second year of spring.

Song Yan saw a team of cultivators sweep past overhead.

The cultivators were from the Crimson Palace and elite Refining Profound.

These cultivators, within the coverage of his Divine Sense, had a fierce battle with a solitary Earth Beast, and after slaying the Earth Beast, they used an unknown Technique to condense Earth Profound Crystals from the Earth Beast and then left.

Profound Crystals are precious Crystal Jades that supplement Profound Qi, and Earth Profound Crystals, as a type of Five Elements Profound Crystal, are even more rare.

Song Yan curiously observed once, and then his interface showed ""Earth Profound Crystal Refining Art" (Simulation Mode)", he directly used wisdom to deduce the mutation and made the Magic achieve Perfection, simultaneously evolving it to a higher-level ""Earth Swallowing Crystal Transformation Technique" (Perfection)".

If the Crystal Refining Technique requires a slow process to refine a bit, then how can "Earth Swallowing Crystal Transformation Technique" directly extract the earth, turning its Earth Profound into crystals.

However, the Earth Profound in the soil is extremely sparse, but if a pile of Earth Beast corpses is in front of you, it would be very efficient.

...

...

The fourth year...

More and more cultivators appeared in Song Yan's Divine Sense.

From their conversations, Song Yan learned that all the surrounding cities had been relocated, moving further inland, and many villages that were slower to act were slaughtered entirely, the whole village was wiped out, leaving no chickens or dogs.

And some unfortunate relocation teams encountered Celestial Calamity Beasts on the way and were also swept away like wind and clouds.

These incoming cultivators came from various sects.

They were organized by the Formless Ancient Race, driven by "Ancient Race Contribution Points" to hunt Celestial Calamity Beasts at the border to relieve border pressure and provide more escape time for the civilians.

Song Yan quietly observed and listened but did not intervene.

He carefully retracted the Yin Mansion Sacrificial Array and many other Arrays.

He did not want people to know of his existence.

...

...

Time flew by, and ten years passed.

Another winter...

In the deep night.

In the Ancestral Vein Secret Realm of the Formless Ancient Race, a startled cry suddenly came from a side room in a garden.

An Li jolted awake, her black hair wetly hanging on her snow-white neck, and she panted heavily, her eyes wide and vacant.

In the darkness, a grinning, intimidating Demon Shadow slowly opened its eyes.

The eyes were like peach blossom, just by looking, she was completely lost. When she was seduced into approaching slowly, the grinning mouth opened, revealing a blood-red maw full of sharp teeth.

And that Demon Shadow's face was exactly Song Yan.

"Why am I still so afraid of you..." An Li hung her head weakly, "Clearly you..."

She tried to find some excuses for Song Yan, but the scene of the grinning, mocking Celestial Demon devouring all beings resurfaced.

...

...

Those eyes, like peach blossoms, drew people into oblivion.

Although they only opened a slit, they already made the woman in white before them infatuated.

She completely lost her guard, forgetting all sorrow, only feeling her heart fully fall for the man in front of her.

Song Yan opened his eyes to look at this female cultivator he had rescued.

This female cultivator had gone out with her sect to hunt Earth Beasts, but unfortunately, she encountered a Purple Mansion Realm Earth Beast and faced annihilation when he intervened and pulled her back.

Over the years, he had learned many Magic Techniques from cultivators.

But the Magic Technique possessed by this female cultivator surprised him greatly, prompting him to intervene actively.

This female cultivator mastered... a completely different Shadow Puppetry Skill.

Seeing her suffering from grief over her sect's destruction, Song Yan directly used the newly mastered Pupil Technique on her to instantly draw her out of sorrow into a different emotion.
