In the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood of a late-stage Purple Mansion expert had been devoured completely by Po Xu Sahua.

Song Yan looked at the youth in the purple robe and said, "Grandson, accompany your grandfather on a journey."

Hong Wucheng said, "Yes, grandfather!"

Song Yan was about to leave but suddenly remembered something. He raised his hand and summoned Han Xue Old Devil's "Myriad Souls Banner".

This banner, compared to the one mixed with hundreds of outer realm evil thoughts that could fling the Slaughter Firm Long Spear like a hidden weapon, was merely at an infant level.

He refined it with a raise of his hand, then took out the market map from Hong Qingsang's storage bag. Riding the banner, he intended to leave with Hong Wucheng.

This was his understanding of "Entering the world of mortals without touching cause and effect": Having entered the world of mortals, if one uses one's true form, they are bound to be entangled with cause and effect, unless others do not know or recognize me, allowing cause and effect to arise and then extinguish. Alternatively, one can become someone else, yet transforming into someone else cannot last long. After achieving the goal, one must withdraw early, settle the cause and effect, and put a period on everything.

Upon contemplating this, a new insight suddenly emerged in his heart.

After breaking through to Divine Infant, he lost the "Formless Talent" as well as the shelter of the "Formless Ancestor". Although his "Free Celestial Demon Map" could also conceal him, the "Free Celestial Demon Map" did not focus on appearance, but on a deeper level of divine soul aura, even developing towards "cause and effect".

However, isn't Formless also a trait of freedom? And isn't it the lowest level of such a trait?

Formless, selfless, without cause and effect, yet everywhere is the true self.

Song Yan suddenly felt a bit enlightened and muttered to himself, "If so... why can't I comprehend Formless? Yu Chitian is not my form, nor is Hong Qingsang my form. In my traversing the world, I inherently have no form."

Previously, he had Formless, though he had lost it now, he still had the memory. These days, although he seemed to be aimlessly wandering in the world, doing trivial things, he was constantly contemplating the Realm, hoping to achieve Perfection in Divine Infant.

At this moment, the "Formless Realm" abruptly arrived. Outside his divine soul, his lifebound secret treasure emitted a faint golden light, like raindrops nourishing his divine soul, giving him an indescribable feeling.

Soon after...

The panel now displayed the previously disappeared "[Talent 2: Formless]" once again.

But this time, this "Formless" was not bestowed by others, but comprehended by himself, representing only the lowest level of his understanding of "freedom".

This "Formless" not only included the rapid simulation of others' magic techniques but also the precise transformation of his form.

Song Yan then made a slight adjustment, making himself look exactly like Hong Qingsang, and then rode the banner towards the major market.

...

...

A month later...

If Song Yan had come himself, it would have required a lot of effort, but Han Xue Old Devil was known to many with infamy. After presenting a passage order, he smoothly entered the market.

No one doubted him.

Unless one's divine soul power far surpassed his, only then could they see that the "little accessory grandson" of Han Xue Old Devil was locked by the Demon Mother Lock, and that Han Xue Old Devil was entirely someone else in disguise.

Unfortunately, this place was not a level-2 cultivation profound land market. In such a place... no one who could see through Song Yan had appeared yet.

After some casual browsing, Song Yan bought almost all the maps available, then pieced them together to form a larger map extending to the continental extension. Upon comparison, he realized he was located in the northeast direction of the Ancient Three Kingdoms, and if he took the nearest route to the mainland, it would take about a year.

However... the map from the Star Luo Domain Market also marked some "Teleportation Arrays", one of which, the nearest, could be reached in a month. That teleportation array led to a major trade city of the Mountain and Sea Demon Race, which was very convenient.

Looking at the map, Song Yan suddenly felt the world had become much smaller.

After putting away the map, he began seeking information on the "Heaven-Stealing Pill".

Although the lifebound secret treasure of the late-stage Divine Infant had the hardness comparable to a Corpse Demon, the body of the Divine Infant itself was still relatively fragile.

Existence is rational, and Song Yan valued the ancient cultivation method "Profound Heart Body" seen in the mysterious ancient tomb highly.

Initially, he had the idea of getting the "Heaven-Stealing Pill" by having Tang Yanzhang of the Formless Ancient Race purchase it on his behalf, but after waiting for decades, it never came.

This time, he wanted to find it himself.

Song Yan led his grandson around.

But time and time again, he only received shakes of the head upon inquiry.

Song Yan went directly to a towering immortal tower called "Fubao Studio" at the center of the market.

Stepping inside, he was soon greeted with "senior, senior" by a female cultivator, who then led him to a private room, asking about his needs. Although Han Xue Old Devil was vicious outside, he was quite rule-abiding in the market, having bought much over the years and becoming a substantial client.

At this time, the female cultivator sweetly said, "In previous visits, Chun'Er introduced you, but lately Chun'Er has gone away to cultivate, I am Ying'Er, and I will surely satisfy you as well."

Song Yan nodded and directly asked, "I wish to buy the Heaven-Stealing Pill, also known as the Heaven-Damaging Pill, do you know it?"

"Heaven-Damaging Pill?" Ying'Er appeared thoughtful, then suddenly said, "Senior, does this pill have other names? Heaven-Stealing, Heaven-Damaging may be ancient names."

Song Yan said, "Go ask around, I will wait here for you."

After speaking, he tossed a large bag of Profound Jade onto the table and said, "If you find accurate information, this is yours."
