Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 184, Section 183: The Shortcut's Repayment

The Spirit Realm is far larger than imagined; even the desolate region seems boundless.

Li Chunfeng followed the trail for three days and three nights, only to find that he had lost track of the Star Beast.

They had no choice but to land on a nearby mountain peak.

The reason he cared so much about the star beasts was because he discovered something from the spirit race's memories: wherever star beasts appeared, there were bound to be innate spiritual objects. Moreover, after a star beast died, it would leave behind something called star crystal, which contained immense stellar power and was the most magnificent gemstone in the world.

Even the hides of star beasts can be used to make the toughest armor. The flesh and blood of star beasts are the best materials for replenishing energy... they are treasures from head to toe, so he couldn't help but take them seriously.

But since we've lost track of them, we can only give up.

Li Chunfeng found a high mountain, dug out a simple cave dwelling, and opened a doorway inside.

Open the door and step inside.

They had already arrived in Yuancheng.

He had made an agreement with Lu Yun'er that they would keep in touch regularly through Yuancheng.

Lu Yun'er isn't here right now, so he'll go to the dueling arena to find a match.

Six godlike performances have given him 5,000 points without him playing a single match. If he gets a few more godlike ratings, he won't need to waste time matching in future seasons; he'll easily secure the top spot.

Matchmaking at the start of each season is always the most chaotic time.

The opponents matched with Li Chunfeng were all secretly cursing their bad luck, and some even voluntarily admitted defeat.

They either want to take a gamble, only to find that their struggles are in vain.

After Li Chunfeng won dozens of consecutive matches, Lu Yun'er finally logged in, and he then left the dueling arena.

"Little madman, you've survived the sixth tribulation?" The girl stared at him with bright eyes. "How come it feels like when you went to the Spirit Realm to carry out a mission, it's still pretty much the same as the Ghost Realm?"

Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "That's the beauty of Yuancheng."

"Look quickly, is there anything different about me?" Lu Yun'er suddenly spun around in front of him, her doe eyes blinking expectantly at him.

Upon hearing this question, Li Chunfeng's expression hardened, and he suddenly felt pressured. He immediately focused his attention and looked at Lu Yun'er seriously.

Has the bear grown big?
It's already quite big, and it doesn't seem to be growing any further.

I've gained weight... a little, but I obviously can't say that out loud.

By the way, she wore makeup today, but does that count as a change?

After thinking for a moment, Li Chunfeng tried to say, "You... are even more beautiful now."

Lu Yun'er frowned at first, put her hands on her hips, and blushed when she felt Li Chunfeng's gaze on her. She said coquettishly, "No way. Where are you looking? I'm letting you see my divine soul pressure." She released her divine sense defense against Li Chunfeng.

Li Chunfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that Lu Yun'er's spiritual pressure had indeed increased significantly.

His cultivation has reached the level of lighting up his life lamp in the Burning Lamp Realm.

This was clearly not the point. A second vortex-like aura suddenly appeared in Lu Yun'er's soul.

Suddenly, a thought struck him: "Congratulations on opening your second soul aperture."

"Hehe, I happened to light the life lamp a few days ago and luckily opened the second soul aperture."

Li Chunfeng said, "That's perfect. Your fifth tribulation is coming soon, so there's still time."

He handed the Demon General's nail storage artifact to Lu Yun'er, saying, "There are some gains from this Abyss Tribulation inside. I'd appreciate it if you could help me process them. All the Dao merits I obtained should be used to purchase Lantern Ghosts in the Ghost Realm."

Lu Yun'er curiously peeked inside and immediately widened her round eyes.

"What a huge space...so much stuff? How many forces did you plunder?"

Li Chunfeng rubbed his nose. "I'm not a bloodthirsty person; it was just a matter of chance. The things in the storage magic treasure seem plentiful, but actually, very few are of real value. In particular, I've already kept some of the valuable mid-grade and high-grade source stones."

Lu Yun'er did a preliminary calculation and estimated that the value of these items was at least 600 million Dao power. And there were still some left over? She couldn't help but gasp.

When others go through tribulations, it's a real tribulation; when Li Chunfeng goes through tribulations, it's like he's just buying new goods.

The gap is really getting bigger and bigger.

“These odds and ends might take up a lot of your cultivation time…” Lu Yun’er shook her head and smiled brightly, “It’s okay, I can give them to Lu Wensheng and sell them through the Lu family’s channels, which will be more efficient.”

"……That's good."

Li Chunfeng observed three seconds of silence for a certain handsome man.

"Tell me about your experiences in the Spirit Realm. Is it fun or dangerous?"

Li Chunfeng said, "The Spirit Realm is vast and I have only just arrived. Even if I want to explore the world, it will not be a matter of a day or two."

The two chatted for a while about their recent situations, mainly with Lu Yun'er asking about the situation in the Spirit Realm.

Li Chunfeng had barely established himself when his lair was destroyed by the Star Beasts. His situation was far from good, and naturally, he had nothing to explain.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chunfeng also released the last Yellow-level Void Rune and Profound-level Void Rune stone tablets for Lu Yun'er to study.

After a brief explanation, we arrived at the Dark Abyss Ruins Secret Realm.

The greatest gain from this calamity was undoubtedly the "Chaotic Ancient Demon Embryo Scripture".

After entering the fourth level, the efficiency of the Qi and Blood Demon Embryo's automatic cultivation greatly improved. With the help of the Qi and Blood Demon Embryo, Li Chunfeng only needed to devote a little effort to assisting its operation, which was enough to match the progress he used to make by fully circulating his Qi and Blood on his own.

He can also free up more energy to refine his Qi and cultivate his Star Soul Bone.

On the contrary, the Nine Refinements of the Divine Embryo in the "Black Lotus Sutra of the Turbid World" are not in a hurry.

He has a shortcut.

Burning Lamp has reached the Netherworld Spirit Level 9 (Fourth Order) realm, just one level away from reaching the peak of his current major realm. Li Chunfeng is preparing to initiate a feedback process.

It merged with the lamp and transformed into a demon.

Li Chunfeng conjured up a sixth-grade black lotus in his mind, standing alone in the world, existing eternally.

Within the small inner world, the lamp of the heart burns eternally, and the Bodhi Tree of Souls protects the mind, impervious to all illusions.

"Give back!"

The moment the thought arose, a surge of boundless spiritual light rushed forth.

The last time I received this support was when my 'Soul Devouring' talent was at the upper-grade Earth rank.

This time, the Heavenly Rank 100 'Soul Devourer' and the Heavenly Rank 100 'Heart Lamp' have provided feedback.

The mysteries of the infinite path of the soul and the path of the light of the heart are fully revealed before your eyes.

Above his divine embryo, a lamp of the heart shines ever brighter.

The vast and boundless phantom of the Soul-Devouring Beast reappeared behind them, its long tail plunging straight into the chaotic void.

The mysterious purple talisman representing the Path of Soul Devouring was even more profound and abstract, resembling broken lines. That talisman, representing the power of the rules of the Soul Path, indicated a high-grade Heavenly Rank Soul Devouring talent that had already begun to grasp the basics of those rules.

Infinite power.

At the same time, Burning Lamp possessed nearly ten million strands of soul power. When he fed back, the endless soul light and soul breath transformed into the purest essence to enhance his divine soul.

In an instant, countless insights flooded his mind, and the infinite mysteries of the Path of the Soul transformed into his own understanding, helping to improve his spiritual cultivation.

His spiritual pressure was constantly increasing.

His divine senses spread out, reaching 6,200 zhang, 6,300 zhang...

The immense spiritual energy brought by the burning lamp was continuously refined, and black lotuses bloomed on the Heavenly Pool. The progress of the "Black Lotus Sutra of the Turbid World" was also rapidly increasing.

His spiritual thoughts and desires surged wildly.

Heart Lamp, Soul Devourer, Soul Fireball, Psychic Shield, Psychic Fist, Ghostly Shadow Escape, Phantom Clone, Beacon Fire and Wolf Smoke—all sorts of magical runes were imprinted even more deeply in his small inner world.

The central lamp has reached the same level as the burning lamp.

His various divine soul and mental power spells have also caught up with the Heavenly Rank realm of Burning Lamp.
