Song Yan didn't ask unnecessary questions.

Asking too many questions would make him appear ignorant, revealing to Ling Handeng that he wasn't really some kind of Divinity Transformation old freak.

No matter how sincere the cooperation between the two parties, if one day their statuses were no longer equal, then... it would become dangerous.

Therefore, Song Yan focused on "listening" for the time being.

When the time comes to stop pretending, he will surely ask for the truth.

Ling Handeng continued, "Wait for me for a few years until my Divine Soul recovers. Then I will find a place to accompany you to the Sea of Suffering Sword Village and explore together."

This too was a test, because if Song Yan wasn't an old monster and had no descendants, he wouldn't dare.

Unfortunately, Ling Handeng never expected that Song Yan had mastered a Secret Technique called the "Corpse Nourishing Technique," let alone... that he not only knew the "Corpse Nourishing Technique," but also possessed the "Corpse Cutting Technique" that Master of Heaven and Earth used to trap an Ancient Celestial Venerable.

These days, Song Yan used his Heaven-Reaching Wisdom to try various methods and had already found a way "to make any Divinity Transformation old monster feel uncomfortable": by using the Corpse Cutting Technique to split a corpse to enter the Sea of Suffering Sword Village, and then return to merge with the main body using the Divine Soul anchor point.

Once the corpse was separated, there would be some Divine Soul scars, but these scars could be quickly healed with the "Corpse Nourishing Technique."

Today, Ling Xiaoxiao is about to break through at the Purple Mansion in Cyan Phoenix Valley. Such a breakthrough cannot be completed in less than ten years, so Song Yan is just in time to try the "Sea of Suffering Sword Village."

...

...

By the Late Stage of Divine Infant, cultivators already possess three True Souls.

Both "Cutting Corpse" and "Nourishing Corpse" are based on this.

Song Yan split out the Good Soul.

The Good Soul Song Yan, holding a long sword, once again came to the gate of the Heart Demon Sword Prison.

After battling with a Sword Cultivator behind the gate with a rusted sword and leaking evil thoughts, his own sword was slowly corroded.

This time, he let it be, and soon, the reversed black gate and the inverted courtyard before him all became normal.

The Good Corpse Song Yan stepped into the courtyard.

And here, it was no longer part of the "Sea of Suffering Sword Prison Visualization Map" provided by Zen Sword Studio.

He was now inside the gate, not outside.

Suddenly, a heavy power pressed down on him, making him feel laborious as strange whispers began to echo by his ears...

The Good Corpse Song Yan saw a person walking towards him, whose face was solemn but showed joy upon seeing him, exclaiming with surprise, "Hugh Tiger, why have you come?"

The courtyard disappeared instantly, and the gentle evening breeze blew from the Misty Sea.

The lake glimmered, and in front of the Herbal Hut at the end of Red Leaf Island, the vine chair was unfolded, the herbal rack was laden, and an old man with white hair quickly put down his herbal records and hurried to him, clapping Song Yan's arm with excitement, "Good lad, long time no see, you've grown much stronger. Come, quickly tell me, how did you find this place?"

The Good Corpse Song Yan felt a strong sense of Illusion Technique washing over him, and even though he was a master in the Divine Soul System himself, he couldn't help but become immersed in it.

He suddenly shook his head, but saw every plant and tree on Red Leaf Island remained so clear.

He rubbed his brows fiercely, but nothing changed.

Just as he was thinking, Kuye Sword Master had already pulled him into a casual chat.

The island remained the same, and behind the Herbal Hut was still Granny Meng.

The Good Corpse Song Yan rested a bit, and the next morning, Kuye Sword Master and Granny Meng brought a Cultivation Technique before him.

Kuye Sword Master hesitated somewhat, mumbling, "Is it against the rules to directly pass this Cultivation Technique to Hugh Tiger?"

Granny Meng spoke firmly, "Hugh Tiger's talent and aptitude are right here, who dares to gossip?"

With that, she hurriedly stepped forward and laid the Cultivation Technique scroll before the Good Corpse Song Yan.

The Good Corpse Song Yan glanced at it, and a few words surfaced on the Cultivation Technique: "Sword-Devouring Transformation Technique."

This Technique allows one to devour others' Sword Intent, and through devouring, one can reshape oneself, further comprehending the True Meaning of the Sword Dao.

The Good Corpse Song Yan said, "Master, devouring others' Sword Intent, doesn't that mean they would die?"

Kuye Sword Master looked at him kindly and said, "I'm very pleased that you could think of this, but your thinking is wrong."

The Good Corpse Song Yan asked, "Why?"

Kuye Sword Master said, "Have you seen the vast sea?"

The Good Corpse Song Yan nodded.

Kuye Sword Master said, "The convergence of a hundred rivers forms the Vast Sea, these individual Sword Intents are like small streams, and you... are striving to gather them together to help them form the Vast Sea. Streams may evaporate and vanish in moments during a drought, but the Vast Sea... can exist forever.

As a Swordman, the most important thing is Sword Intent. If one loses their Sword Intent due to death, it is immensely regrettable; but if they can be encapsulated within you and exist eternally, then even if the Swordman dies, there is no regret. Do you... understand?"

The Good Corpse Song Yan suddenly realized, "Then... start practicing."

As he finished speaking, a mysterious Sword Technique had already penetrated his mind, and in the distant skies above the Misty Sea, a rainbow light descended as a cultivator consumed with evil thoughts and holding a rusted sword appeared before him.

Song Yan hurriedly stepped forward, and in the surprised gaze of Kuye Sword Master, he struck down the cultivator with a single sword stroke.

He took a deep breath, feeling the Sword Intent of the opposing cultivator entering his body and his own strength increasing, grinning, "Truly excellent Swordsmanship!!"
