Youming Sect Master's Cave Abode.

Ling Tian reported what had happened and added, "Sect Master, this matter isn't really Zhang Bin's fault. We all got there in time and shouted for Min Potian to stop, but he wouldn't listen. He used Spatial Imprisonment and then unleashed the powerful Heaven-destroying Axe, trying to kill Zhang Bin. Changsheng fought back and killed him, out of helplessness."

"Changsheng, what sword technique did you use? How did it shoot out from your eyes? The power is so terrifying!"

You Jiuxuan's voice came from inside the coffin, filled with deep confusion.

"Reporting to Sect Master, I comprehended the sword technique from the Celestial Demon Technique, Part One, called the Crumbled Moon Sword Technique, primarily targeting the Moon Palace. I also didn't know it was this terrifying," Zhang Bin said with a puzzled look, "In fact, I don't even know how I cultivated it."

This was certainly an act; he simply didn't want to pass it on to You Jiuxuan.

Moreover, he was secretly pleased that You Jiuxuan hadn't comprehended the Crumbled Moon Sword Technique, proving that his talent was much better than You Jiuxuan's.

"How is that possible?" All the elders were astonished, "Who cultivates a technique without knowing how they did it? That's just too fantastical."

"Could this be the best illustration of 'it can only be understood but not spoken'?"

You Jiuxuan mumbled.

He truly believed it because he had also comprehended some powerful divine skills from the Celestial Demon Technique, but he couldn't specifically teach them.

The terrifying divine skill Zhang Bin comprehended must be the same.

Actually, that's precisely the case; Zhang Bin also tried hard to impart the Crumbled Moon Sword Technique to Hanbing Yun.

But, he couldn't.

He couldn't draw the talisman for the Crumbled Moon Sword Technique accurately; what he drew seemed right in form but wasn't.

Such a top-level divine skill must be comprehended by oneself from the Celestial Demon Technique.

So, Zhang Bin dared to say that.

"Sect Master's words are incredibly profound. I feel the same way," Zhang Bin said admiringly, "The Celestial Demon Technique is definitely the most miraculous cultivation technique; our Youming Sect has struck gold."

"The more miraculous the cultivation technique, the higher the demand for talent."

You Jiuxuan said blandly, and then his tone shifted coldly: "Changsheng, this time, you made a grave mistake by causing the loss of an elder from our Serpent Clan. You must be punished. How about a trip to the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone as a penalty?"

"No problem."

Zhang Bin readily agreed.

He feared nothing more than going to the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone, which was extremely dangerous for other disciples but very safe for him, and he could gain many treasures.

After all, he had set up two bases in the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone.

One inside the dragon bone, the other inside a tree hollow.

He could travel back and forth at will.

"This mission is particularly important."

You Jiuxuan's voice grew solemn, "My son, You Batian, will accompany you to the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone. For three million years, he hasn't found a supreme genius with matching attributes. So, he has stayed with me, in the coffin, without finding a sacrificial ghost to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation because entering another's Moon Palace would introduce some pollution, making the soul impure. It would also impact future inhabitation of the cauldron. However, finally, we have found a top-level genius suitable for him. He needs to go to the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone to inhabit the cauldron. You must ensure his safety without any problems. Otherwise, there will be no mercy."

"I guarantee to complete the mission."

Zhang Bin made a resolute vow, pounding his chest.

However, he felt deeply concerned.

Because the situation had complicated, genuinely adding new obstacles.

This was yet another major crisis.

Since he couldn't just watch a genius die and have their body inhabited by a living ghost.

"Sect Master, the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone is very dangerous. Last time Duanmu Kuangshi, Ding Tianxia, and Snake Youdu didn't return. Why must the Young Sect Master enter the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone to inhabit the cauldron?"

Vice Sect Leader Ling Tian asked in doubt.

In fact, Zhang Bin wanted to know this too, but he dared not ask too many questions, fearing it would arouse You Jiuxuan's suspicions.

After all, as Vice Sect Leader in the past, Snake Changsheng had handled many affairs of the Youming Sect and was presumably familiar with all matters.

So, he perked up his ears to listen to the reason.

You Jiuxuan explained calmly, "There are many precautions for inhabiting the cauldron. A genius submerged in the Dragon Blood Pool will have their soul's spirituality wiped away. But often, submerging too long, it's hard to keep it just right, and fishing out, rinsing, and dressing will delay some time. The Moon Palace would then suffer significant damage, not being that resilient. This is why Min Wentian couldn't withstand Changsheng's Crumbled Moon Sword attack. Otherwise, a Mid-Nascent Soul stage Moon Palace couldn't be so fragile."

After a pause, he continued slowly, "To compensate for this defect, one must personally go to the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone, wait for the genius's spirituality to disappear immediately, then inhabit the cauldron and use heavenly materials and earthly treasures to repair the Moon Palace's deficiencies. In the past, we couldn't do this because most of us were above Nascent Soul Realm in cultivation level during our lifetime, making it impossible to enter the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone. Batian's talent is incredible; during his lifetime, he cultivated to Golden Core Realm Great Perfection at just 18 years old and can keep his soul indestructible. Therefore, he can safely enter the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone."

He paused briefly before continuing slowly, "Although Changsheng merely cultivated to the Golden Core Mid-Stage, he has the strength to annihilate a Mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator. With him protecting the Young Sect Master, there should be no danger. To move forward in the future, this risk is worth taking."

"Sect Master is wise."

All the elders exclaimed in admiration.

Immediately, Zhang Bin asked skeptically, "Sect Master, which is the cauldron?"

"It is the genius Yun Feiyang, who joined with Zhang Bin simultaneously, from the Kunlun Sect. He has dual attributes of water and space, the same as Batian's. Moreover, Yun Feiyang is a supreme genius. His understanding of the Dragon Canon is profound, and the reason he hasn't cultivated into a Half-Dragon yet is because he is still young. Once Batian inherits everything from him, he can quickly cultivate into a Half-Dragon. He might even cultivate into a terrifying Dragon Body and reach Ascension Realm in the future," You Jiuxuan's voice contained a hint of joy.

"Congratulations, Sect Master."

All the elders, Vice Sect Leader Ling Tian, and Zhang Bin also shouted excitedly.

Of course, silently, Zhang Bin cursed, damn, they plan to target my friend, it's simply suicidal.

His eyes shifted, then he nervously spoke, "Sect Master, although my combat strength is not weak, claiming to be invincible in the Golden Core Realm, the Dragon Blood Forbidden Zone is extremely dangerous. It would be best to prepare some powerful magical artifacts to ensure complete safety. My life isn't as significant, but the Young Sect Master must not meet any accidents."

He was asking for benefits. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

With his personality of sneakily exploiting others, how could he possibly miss the opportunity to seek benefits?

"You're right."

Many elders and Ling Tian nodded, fully agreeing; they certainly wouldn't miss the chance to please the Sect Master and flatter him. Not to mention, the Young Sect Master You Batian was listening in the coffin.

This meant they were pleasing two people, just with one statement.

Why not do it?

"Changsheng, you previously cultivated to Nascent Soul Realm Great Perfection. Your spiritual power is strong. You should be able to refine a High-grade Magical Artifact. I will craft one for you right here," You Jiuxuan said proudly, "The design of the White Bone Peak originally belonging to Zhang Bin is quite good. But the material wasn't up to par, so it remained a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure, susceptible to being cleaved into halves by a terrifying Blade Talisman. Now, I will use that creative design to craft an even mightier White Bone Peak."
