Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng's heart sank; his plan to return home with his third sister seemed to have fallen through.

But he didn't want to give up easily, so he continued to try.

"Third sister..."

"Alright, no need for further words." First Red Leaf saw through her fourth brother's thoughts, but she was powerless to help him: "Fourth brother, even if I could disregard Mother's feelings and risk punishment to interfere with your training, you still wouldn't be able to give her a satisfactory answer."

"Moreover, I have sworn to guard Xu Xiaoqiu's grave here for three years. The vow has been made, and I will not leave halfway through."

"If you can wait, my brother and I will come home together in three years. I will take responsibility for any punishment Mother may give you!"

Zhou Qingfeng was speechless. First Red Leaf had already said so much, she had done everything she could. To ask for more in return would be unreasonable and might even ruin the relationship between the siblings. Thinking of this, Zhou Qingfeng decided not to insist and would stay there for a while.

With First Red Leaf and Old Cripple here, anyone who dares to risk killing Zhou Qingfeng is simply courting death.

With safety guaranteed, Zhou Qingfeng could finally catch his breath and take this opportunity to prepare for cultivating the False Words to True Form Technique. All the materials for cultivating this technique were already prepared. The reason he didn't start cultivating it immediately on the way was because he was worried that he would be disturbed halfway through the cultivation process, causing all his previous efforts to be wasted.

With Old Cripple's arrangement, Zhou Qingfeng and Jin Wei each had a guest room to stay in.

In the afternoon, we gathered together to drink tea and chat.

Zhou Qingfeng chatted with the old cripple and the first red leaf about the people and things he had encountered on this trip, and then took out the Heaven-Piercing Ruler.

First Red Leaf took the Sky-Piercing Ruler and examined it carefully, saying, "Fourth Brother, according to your description, Spiral Town is a forbidden place. There are many forbidden places like this, and they are collectively called Wilderness Forbidden Zones. Within the Wilderness Forbidden Zones, there are many dangers, and once you enter, you will never come out; it is a death sentence."

"Even if I accidentally stumbled into a forbidden wilderness area, I might not be able to get out unscathed."

"Your success was largely due to luck; it was truly a blessing from heaven, and your life was not meant to end there."

"Keep it safe." First Red Leaf handed the Sky-Piercing Ruler back to him: "Fourth Brother, this is a true artifact that governs the rules of time and space."

"It seems to have a very simple use; it's just the only key to the Spiral Town. Only the person holding the key can freely enter and exit the Spiral Town. When you become stronger in the future, you can try to explore it in depth. Perhaps a great opportunity awaits you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng nodded slightly and carefully stored the Sky-Piercing Ruler in his Sacred Ring. This item may not seem to be of much use at the moment, but it is associated with keywords such as divine artifact, spacetime rules, and uniqueness, which means that it is a priceless treasure. At the very least, it can be kept as a collectible in the warehouse.

As for whether to explore Spiral Town again, Zhou Qingfeng has no such idea for the time being. Spiral Town is too mysterious and too dangerous, and he will not go there again unless necessary, unless he really reaches a certain bottleneck in the future, in which case he may try to go in to find a great opportunity.

Zhou Qingfeng: "Third Sister, Mr. Liao, I would like to stay here for a while longer to prepare for practicing my secret techniques."

First Red Leaf: "Just focus on your cultivation. With me here to protect you, anyone who dares to invade will never return!"

The old cripple smiled slightly: "Fourth Brother, focus on your cultivation. I'll keep an eye on things."

Zhou Qingfeng felt much more at ease after receiving the promises from the two bigwigs.

The next morning, he began preparing to practice the Art of Deceptive Words Transformed into True Form in his guest room.

Zhou Qingfeng sat cross-legged on the bed, a flash of green light appeared in his palm, and he took out one main ingredient and three auxiliary ingredients.

"Words that kill demons."

"The cicada's resonance, the ashes of foolish kindness, the heart of a child."

Zhou Qingfeng checked the materials and found them to be correct. He took a deep breath. He had spent a lot of time and energy, put in a lot of effort, and even risked his life to gather all the cultivation materials for this moment. But this did not mean that everything would go smoothly. There was also a risk of failure in the cultivation of the spell.

The key lies in whether one can control the Word Demon Spirit and become its new host.

Because of the unique nature of the Word Demon Spirit, it chooses its own master and coexists with the host. It will not leave as long as the host is alive. Zhou Qingfeng forcibly used the Demon-Capturing Lamp to capture it, without obtaining the Word Demon Spirit's recognition or consent. This was an act of coercion.

Once the evil spirit of words enters the body and cannot be controlled, it will turn on you in a frenzy and cause you to explode and die.

In order to control the demonic spirit, the three auxiliary materials came in handy.

A pure heart can make the evil spirit manifest itself in a short time.

In this way, the previously unseen, untouchable, and unharmable Yan Sha Demon Spirit can now be held in Zhou Qingfeng's hands.

The next step is to smear the evil spirits with the ashes of foolish kindness.

By using the power of extreme goodness within the ashes of foolish kindness, the malevolent nature of the evil spirit is softened, causing it to lose its ferocity and become docile, harmless, and submissive.

In the final step, as the Word Demon Spirit entered his body, he swallowed the Resonance Cicada. By using the Resonance Cicada's special ability to evoke emotional resonance and aesthetic pleasure, he achieved a spiritual resonance with the Word Demon Spirit. Furthermore, the Word Demon Spirit would also feel aesthetic pleasure towards Zhou Qingfeng, believing that Zhou Qingfeng was the most perfect host in the world, and thus chose to parasitize Zhou Qingfeng's body.

Once everything is completed smoothly, Zhou Qingfeng will have completely mastered the Word Demon Spirit. He will not need to form hand seals; he can simply expend his magic power to control the Word Demon Spirit at will, truly making his words law. From now on, anyone who understands his words will be subject to his control.

For the next seven days, Zhou Qingfeng remained in seclusion, focusing on mastering the technique. He followed the precise steps one by one. The moment the demonic spirit entered his body, Zhou Qingfeng knew what it meant to be in excruciating pain. His spine felt as if it were being poked by thousands of fingers, and his spirit trembled with agony.

The demonic spirit of the Word Demon merged into Zhou Qingfeng's spine, gradually pushing it out, causing a crack to appear in his back.

Physical pain is not unbearable; Zhou Qingfeng was able to endure it with his strong will.

The mental anguish was unbearable; it was a form of mental torture, an extreme pain, as if millions of people were cursing, insulting, swearing, mocking, and laughing at him from behind. These words transformed into countless invisible swords that slashed at his spirit.

This pain spread from the mind to the body, resulting in somatic manifestations: constant trembling of the limbs, waves of palpitations and panic, sometimes laughing heartily with a sunny disposition, sometimes becoming depressed and silent, and even starting to engage in self-harm, resembling a mentally deranged madman.

Or rather, with the help of the Resonance Cicada, Zhou Qingfeng and the Demon Spirit of Words truly achieved spiritual resonance.

When the evil spirit of words completely expelled Zhou Qingfeng's spine from his body.

The art of transforming falsehoods into reality has been mastered!
