Puppet Sect, over two hundred years ago, Early Stage of Purple Mansion blood corpse... these words combined, immediately sparked Song Yan's imagination.

This place was an island above the East Sea, and to put it bluntly, Star Luo Domain was also within the East Sea.

"Could it be that back then a certain Elder from the Puppet Sect didn't go to the Ancient Race, but instead came to the shores of the East Sea, incidentally discovering my hidden Zhang Han blood corpse, and then controlled it using the Corpse Control Technique, subsequently founding the Puppet Sect of the East Sea?"

Song Yan looked with interest at the location marked on the map, making a rough estimate in his mind.

The place wasn't far, and he could reach it within a little over a month if he hurried.

"Dragons have dragon paths, and mice have mouse paths. These Divine Infant Cultivators outside are quite convenient... Whatever you want, you just need to spend money to buy it."

As Song Yan was thinking, the tide had risen, the light of the setting sun washing over the water quickly dimmed.

This place was considered the inland sea region, though invaded by Netherworld's Qi, with water beasts causing havoc, it hadn't yet affected this place.

Shallow waves lapped at Song Yan's ankles, the sea breeze bringing with it the unique freshness and moisture of water vapor.

Song Yan rolled up the map, just about to stand, when he suddenly seemed to remember something and narrowed his eyes.

"Yu Chitian himself actually has considerable Cause and Effect. He betrayed Star Luo Domain, defected to the Sea Demon tribe, and could thus use the Sea Demon's path to get to the Void Ruins.

He is at the Early Stage of Divine Infant Realm, and having returned successfully from the Void Ruins this time, further breakthroughs are imminent.

His identity, power, will surely attract a lot of attention."

"But, that is Yu Chitian's Cause and Effect, not mine. Why should I bear it for him? I don't need to use his identity to do anything..."

"Since that's the case, why should I be Yu Chitian?"

"He was just my step to escape the cage and leave the void. Since I have already stepped out, why maintain this identity?"

Song Yan chuckled freely, glanced at the Cave Mansion behind him, quickly tidied up, then walked to the back of the island. With a twist of his body, he transformed into another person's appearance, another person's aura, and then used Sword Control and Rainbow Transformation to swiftly head towards the Puppet Sect direction.

A gigantic moon slowly rose from the end of the Vast Sea, the sea surface shimmering with a golden sheen like a yellow dragon dancing...

A cold wind hit head-on, and Song Yan felt immensely relaxed, as if all the past turmoil of dancing on knife edges and traversing deep abysses had become just memories. He felt the mountain on his back had been unloaded, the ropes on his body untied, and the pairs of eyes staring at him finally moved away.

He couldn't help but laugh heartily, and suddenly realized: to have no ties, to be unburdened; if one desires freedom, don't get entangled in Cause and Effect.

But to escape the world, to cower, what kind of freedom is that?

To enter the mortal world without being entangled in Cause and Effect, that is the supreme state.

...

...

More than half a month later.

A streak of rainbow light suddenly arrived outside Yu Chitian's Cave Mansion, a Sea Demon cultivator with a volatile temperament and a shark's head, clothed in glossy blue heavy armor, stepped heavily, causing the ground to tremble.

The Shark Demon cultivator stood in front of the Cave Mansion and glanced behind.

Within the blue waves concealed an even more covert and powerful aura.

Both these figures were clearly Divine Infant Demon Cultivators.

At this moment, they quickly exchanged thoughts.

"Yu Chitian joined our Sea Race, pledging his allegiance with Essence Blood, deceived by our temptation, and thus entered the blood and flesh lamp of our Sea Race.

As long as I shake the lamp, I can momentarily control his body. Similarly, if his body perishes, I will also know.

This is something Yu Chitian himself does not know.

However, a couple of days ago, when I exited seclusion, I discovered that Yu Chitian's Essence Blood in the flesh and blood lamp was depleted. Based on the timeline, he should have fallen while in the Void Ruins.

The one currently on the island is not Yu Chitian, but just a monster wearing his exterior, masquerading his identity.

Shark King, be cautious, lure him out to negotiate, see if he can be of use to us.

If negotiations fail, we join forces to kill him."

The shark-headed demon cultivator grunted in a deep voice: "Let me see what this guy really is."

With that, he shouted loudly: "Friend Chitian, please come out and meet me."

No response.

The shark-headed demon cultivator sent a thought: "Quite vigilant."

Immediately, he shouted again: "Friend Chitian, please come out and meet me!"

His voice thundered, shaking the whole island.

But still no response.

The shark-headed demon quickly unleashed his Divine Sense to probe, only to find the Cave Mansion was empty.

He was about to step forward when a voice from the sea monster behind him said: "Be careful, that monster might already know our purpose here, and there's no shortage of methods to conceal Divine Sense, it might just be hiding in the Cave Mansion, planning an ambush."

The shark-headed demon snorted coldly: "A small Cave Mansion, can it stop me? Friend Chitian, if you don't come out now, I'll flatten your mountain top!"

His voice echoed far and wide, but there was still no response.

The shark-headed demon said no more, flipping his hand to grab a large icy iron anchor, with a swing, a hurricane and tsunami rose together, drawing upon the Power of Heaven and Earth, smashing towards the mountain top Cave Mansion in the distance.

Boom!

Mountains crumbled and earth shattered!

The mountain top was smashed like a pebble, plunging into the sea, the scattered stones and dust blown away in the breath of the shark-headed demon, leaving no hidden place on this island.

The shark-headed demon retrieved the anchor, standing ready.

But still no one.

For a long time...

The shark-headed demon rubbed his smooth head in bewilderment, blinked his fish-like eyes, after a thorough search, his tone turned strange: "Escaped? This..."

...

...

Song Yan felt he should have entered the edge of Star Luo Domain.

His Divine Sense was already powerful, and now having reached the Late Stage of Divine Infant, he could spread it out wantonly, unless encountering a stronger existence, it was unlikely he would be discovered.
