"Master Xie personally taking action?"

Xu You finally let go of her hanging heart.

Her intuition told her.

The disaster at Jiayong Pass might be linked to a massively dangerous situation behind it.

Given her abilities, she couldn’t resolve this threat... She could only seek the aid of a Great Divine Ability User. Though figures like Master Tang were indeed impressive, they lacked something, thus Xu You considered personally traveling to the Imperial City to explain the situation.

But if Xie Xuanyi took over, there seemed to be nothing to worry about anymore.

After all, he was the current Da Sui Sect Leader, the only Harmonized Yang God Realm cultivator in the thousand years of the Da Chu Dynasty!

Whoosh.

Suddenly, a wisp of snow-white brilliance appeared inside the room.

"What’s this?"

Xu You looked at the young man, slightly taken aback.

A ball of life-filled, gentle vapor appeared in Duan Zhao’s palm.

"The master instructed that any cultivator who has interacted with these people must be cleansed with ’Undying Spring Water Vapor.’"

Duan Zhao said, "This is the Undying Spring for Aunt You."

"..."

Xu You fell silent again, realizing that Master Xie possessed the Undying Spring, but had it really reached such abundance?

"Those maidservants, those attendants and followers, all have the potential for corruption."

Duan Zhao sincerely stated, "However, as long as they undergo the Undying Spring’s cleansing, this risk can be eliminated."

As he spoke, he gestured to Xu You to take this ball of Undying Spring Water Vapor.

"Unexpected..."

Xu You chuckled bitterly, and sighed, "What a fortuitous opportunity..."

She originally had no chance with the Undying Spring.

Yet because of this matter, she unexpectedly gained a thread of the vapor.

"Based on Master Xie’s meaning, does he seem to know what these filthy things are?"

Xu You paid respects and took the vapor, then cautiously spoke.

Using the Undying Spring to deal with impurities.

Though extravagant, it is effective.

However, who could normally think of such a method? Xie Xuanyi specifically pinpointed using vapor to purify the filth... Had he already encountered a similar event in the Demon Country?

"That I don’t know."

Duan Zhao shook his head, firmly stated, "However, with the master’s divine skills, eliminating these filthy things should be no trouble."

...

...

Demon Country, deep within a snowy mountain.

Flames surrounded the cave stone walls inside the mountain, casting a reflective silhouette of a slender figure standing with crossed hands.

Numerous tadpole-like symbols flickered, arranging.

From chaotic to disorderly.

"Whew..."

Xie Xuanyi exhaled a stale breath, awakening from meditation: "The sixth visualization map is finally comprehended."

He had been cultivating the [Great Creation Technique] for over a year.

This was the most difficult divine skill Xie Xuanyi had ever practiced.

It could be said, the qualification threshold for the [Great Creation Technique] was extremely high, with a difficulty even greater than the [Primordial Swallowing Divine Power].

After a full year, he’d only comprehended six visualization maps.

However, the benefits brought by cultivating the [Great Creation Technique] were also immense!

Over the year, nearly a hundred branches of the Immortal Tree within the Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm had already resurged.

With the Immortal Tree as the center, the ancient realm’s fog shattered, clearing thirty miles in radius. If the previous sacred realm was utterly silent, now some vitality returned...

Repairing the Boundary Stele was destined to be a long and cumbersome task.

Xie Xuanyi prepared for a prolonged war.

Yet what surprised Xie Xuanyi the most was that with the resurgence of the Immortal Tree within him, the Undying Spring Eye received "feedback"!

He had always been troubled by how to enhance the grade of the Undying Spring Eye.

Whether it be the Paper Taoist or Mo Zhen, these people’s Undying Spring clearly differed from his own...

Xie Xuanyi could feel that the quality of his Undying Spring was lower than these two.

He thought that to enhance the "Undying Spring Eye," there was but one way.

An upgrade in realm, an expansion of the Primordial Sea, the Undying Spring Eye thus expands.

Yet [Immortal Tree] genuinely gave Xie Xuanyi a pleasant surprise.

"The resurgence of the Immortal Tree can enhance the quality and derivative speed of the Undying Spring’s water vapor."

"The faster the Undying Spring’s derivative speed, the quicker the Immortal Tree resurges."

"The quicker the Immortal Tree resurges, the faster the Undying Spring derives."

Xie Xuanyi silently sighed, if not personally experienced, even he wouldn’t believe such a marvelous matter existed.

It had quite the feeling of stepping forward with one foot supported by the other.

"You, Xie."

From the bonfire by the mountain wall, Cui Zhen’s impatient voice sounded.

"Would you give me a bottom line... these visualization maps, which have you comprehended now?"

In the heart of the firelight.

A handsome Great Demon sat ground, supporting a cheek with his palm, squinting his eyes, staring at Xie Xuanyi’s back.

Having cultivated for two lifetimes.

Cui Zhen heard countless people call him "freak" or "monster."

But in his eyes, Xie Xuanyi was the real freak and monster.

He had never seen such a peculiar cultivation method.

Because the [Great Creation Technique] couldn’t be expressed verbally nor imprinted.

Every time Xie Xuanyi comprehended, he had to personally teach through the Divine Sea...

However, his cultivation was entirely lawless without pattern, nearly changing visualization maps every two or three days.

"Would you believe me if I said I comprehended six visualization maps?"

Xie Xuanyi turned his head, calmly stated.

"That’s a load of crap!"

Cui Zhen, slightly unruffled, cursed through gritted teeth: "I spent six whole years comprehending six maps! Three years on the sixth! This time in meditation only lasted twenty-plus days... I refuse to believe it!"

"I said it."

Xie Xuanyi shrugged, casually said: "It’s just a pity you don’t believe it."

He indeed had comprehended six visualization maps.

This speed was significantly faster than Cui Zhen’s past.

Yet it wasn’t that in this matter, Xie Xuanyi’s qualifications genuinely surpassed Cui Zhen’s.

Rather...

With Cui Zhen’s prompt, Xie Xuanyi realized that with each comprehension of a visualization map, the next one’s difficulty would sharply rise.

These nineteen [Great Creation Technique] visualization maps simply had no sequence...

If so.

Why not comprehend them all together?

With each visualization map, Xie Xuanyi briefly comprehended. If it were anyone else, they’d strive for faster cultivation speed, but Xie Xuanyi carefully controlled "progress," remaining clear-headed, wishing instead to comprehend all visualization maps at once if possible.

As they say, those who plant the shade for successors enjoy the coolness.

In fact.

Cui Zhen already realized what Xie Xuanyi was doing.

But after years of arduous cultivation, he nearly comprehended the entire legacy of the [Ultimate Poison Sacred Realm], only missing the last two visualization maps.

That was quite annoying.

Even by contemplating both maps simultaneously, the speed isn’t much faster.

"So..."

With this thinking, Cui Zhen gloomily spoke: "How do you plan to deal with these filthy things?"

Saying this.

The handsome Great Demon slowly raised his head.

"Clatter!"

Above the bonfire on the mountain wall, dense and suspended sword qi arranged in formation, thick and sturdy Path of Destruction intents resembling taut ropes.

Thirteen sword qi ropes altogether, tying around thirteen "persons’" necks.

As the cold wind blew, thirteen "hanged" beings swung back and forth, trembling violently.

These twenty-plus days, they had been hung here the entire time.

Day and night subjected to sword qi’s torture, Demon Fire’s burns.

Yet... they were still alive.
