Ling Xiaoxiao said, "Ten thousand years ago, I ascended the Immortal List and made a deal with the owner of this world. I shared intelligence about Sword Village with Him, and He promised to protect my descendants and provide me a route of retreat.

So, as Xiaoxiao mentioned, the Camel Bell tribe lived in peace and never relocated, all because the owner of this world kept His promise.

However, in recent years, that promise has vanished.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case, because the owner of the world is quite faithful to promises, and protecting a small tribe is hardly an effort for Him.

The invasion of the Camel Bell tribe by bandits must mean that the owner of the world is also facing great trouble.

This is why I am becoming increasingly anxious and have proactively approached this time...because I feel I am running out of time. If I don't come forward this time, my lineage might be forever cut off, and I will have no chance to emerge again.

In this world, there are always some fateful connections and opportunities that come unexpectedly.

You are Xiaoxiao's only, and in a sense, you are also my only."

Song Yan was unmoved.

Ling Xiaoxiao continued, "I know you have seen the Heart Demon Sword Prison Visualization Map in Zen Sword Studio and have likely successfully entered it, which shows that you are also interested in it. However, the Heart Demon Sword Prison and Sword Dao River are deeper than you think."

Having said that, a blaze appeared in her eyes, then she clenched her fist fiercely and said, "The secret to immortality is hidden within it."

Song Yan laughed and said, "Do you take me for a child?"

Ling Xiaoxiao said, "To eternally place one's thoughts deep within Sword Village, even if this world is destroyed, as long as Sword Village exists, my thoughts will also exist, then...I might awaken again in the next world. What is this if not immortality?

Do you know what the Biluo Sword Alliance is doing?

Everything they do is for the top individuals to comprehend the Sword Dao, then leave their immortal thoughts in the deepest part of Sword Village, thereby avoiding the catastrophe of this world.

And I have gone further than them, closer to this step...I have already become a thought, and as long as I descend upon the Divine Soul of my descendant cultivator, I can come back to life, but only limited to the Divine Soul of a descendant cultivator. This is the last step I lack.

Do you want to come with me? I can see that you are also a powerful Sword Cultivator."

Song Yan said, "How to come?"

Ling Xiaoxiao said, "We explore Sword Village together.

In the Sea of Suffering, the thoughts are like people, composed of at least two portions of power.

One is the power of the thought itself, which is like the physical strength of a person, how much strength they possess; the other is the perception of the thought's power, this perception is like the Swordsmanship, Magic Technique, etc., that a person cultivates...this determines how much power you can exert.

Currently, the power of my thought is weak, you need to first help the little girl enhance her power, only when her Divine Soul is strong can I rise with the tide and recover. This little girl is merely at the late stage of the Crimson Palace, and the outbreak of Cyan Phoenix Valley's earth energy must be attended."

Song Yan said, "What if I refuse?"

Ling Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, then said, "Then we trade.

I will give you information inside Sword Village, even maps, Visualization Maps, and all the knowledge you wish to understand.

And you need to lead me in cultivation, breakthrough.

I have no other choice, and you and Xiaoxiao could greatly benefit."

Song Yan was witnessing this state for the first time.

He only knew the Celestial Demon was a thought, but never expected...a Sword Cultivator could cultivate to become a thought.

Souls need reincarnation, yet a single thought...can be eternal.

Is this the Magic Technique that the top experts in the world pursue for immortality and evading catastrophe?

Even though he couldn't believe the cultivator named Ling Handeng, this cultivator clearly had lots of information that Song Yan needed to know.

As the two talked, Song Yan took the opportunity to learn more about this world and himself.

...

...

Night fell...

Ling Xiaoxiao returned to her original form and also returned to the Camel Bell tribe's tent.

But compared to the previous day, at the moment she was already shivering and curling up on the bed, not even calling "Senior Brother."

No matter how naive she was, she knew "Senior Brother" couldn't possibly be so powerful.

And the Camel Bell tribe was no longer the hometown she held in her heart.

Her father was dead, bandits had infiltrated.

The Senior Brother had been possessed by an old demon, who silently dealt with the bandits and amused himself with her.

All these things... whenever Ling Xiaoxiao thought about it, she felt like collapsing.

Song Yan cajoled her for a long time and even made up a reason for his own strength, saying it was "just like Ling Xiaoxiao," also possessed by an ancestor's thought, but it had been this way since they met.

In the end, he directly said to Ling Xiaoxiao, "Junior Sister, you tell me, is there any old demon in this world who would patiently coax you like this?"

Ling Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at him, only to see his pure and sincere eyes.

Song Yan said, "If I'm lying, may the heavens strike me with lightning, a Sword Cultivator must be sincere, otherwise the Dao heart will destroy itself."

Ling Xiaoxiao lowered her head silently for a long time, occasionally glancing at her toes, and then sneaking peeks at the "extremely terrifying old demon above Divine Infant-Level" in the distance, as if in a dream.

Ling Handeng silently watched this scene, Song Yan's performance increasingly set her mind at ease.

She had no choice but to forcefully show up "to confront," and now seeing how the old demon acted, though aware there might be elements of acting and scheming, it was ultimately developing in a good direction.

As the cajoling continued, Ling Xiaoxiao and Song Yan rolled together again, while Ling Handeng did not withdraw her external perception. Even though being taken advantage of by that stranger male cultivator, it was better than letting him do something harmful to her.

Moreover, sometimes dual cultivation is like a marriage alliance, the best shortcut to build trust.
