Xuan Cheng Taoist, who was gradually approaching, was internally shaken to the utmost.

“That Ancient God Weapon.”

“Yes, it’s that Ancient God Weapon.”

“Back then at the Extreme Ancient debate on the Tao, I caught a glimpse of this Ancient God Weapon from a distance, Its owner was that Ancestral Ancient God.”

“Han Yi, you indeed obtained the inheritance of the Ancestral Ancient God.”

“It’s even possible that you are the second life of that Ancestral Ancient God.”

“No wonder, no wonder.”

His inner turmoil was immense, his eyes filled with reverence. In those Primordial Times, his status allowed him only to look up to that Ancestral level Ancient God.

Although the Ancient catastrophe wreaked havoc, and the Ancient Gods Clan was annihilated, after countless tens of thousands of years, the memories of the prosperous era among the gods, demons, and immortals, that unmatched Ancient Gods Clan who dominated through the ages and ranked just below the Great World Master, still instilled fear in him.

This fear was branded deep within his soul and had never dissipated.

Meanwhile, Han Yi down below had collected the armor and Immortal Stick from Yuan Jingtian’s corpse. Although these two Immortal Artifacts were split into two, with their Spiritual Nature completely dissipated, they were both Fifth-stage Immortal Artifacts, which could be of great value either reforged or sold.

Just as he collected the armor and Immortal Stick, Yuan Jingtian’s body, cleft in twain, suddenly underwent a strange transformation.

A black stone inside his body floated up, and then, as if the body was weathering away, it began to extract strands of flesh and blood, which started to merge into the eerie black stone.

Then, the extraction accelerated, and within three breaths, the entire body was absorbed into the stone. Yuan Jingtian’s corpse vanished without a trace, not even a single hair was left behind.

And that black stone, floating a little over a meter high, flashed an ominous glow.

Han Yi’s eyebrows shot up. He was both curious and cautious about this suddenly appeared stone.

“This is the Ancient Demon Essence Blood’s condensation, known as the Ancient Demon Heart Stone during the Primordial Times.”

“If I’m not mistaken, Yuan Jingtian must have obtained this Ancient Demon Heart Stone to have sung his way to where he is now.”

Han Yi turned to look at the descending Xuan Cheng, questioning, “Ancient Demon Heart Stone?”

Xuan Cheng nodded, looking toward the levitating black ominous stone, and said solemnly:

“Transformed from Ancient Demon Essence Blood, within this Ancient Demon Heart Stone lies the inheritance of that Ancient Demon. As to which Ancient Demon, we’ll only know after it’s been refined.”

“Whoever refines the Ancient Demon Heart Stone inherits everything from that Ancient Demon, including bloodline, legacy, Demon Arts, and so forth.”

“Don’t be fooled by the small size of this Ancient Demon Heart Stone; in reality, it’s a substantial Demon Spirit Realm. Once refined and integrated into the body, the Demon Spirit Realm remodels it, and in time, one’s Realm will naturally break through.”

“Of course, refining the Ancient Demon Heart Stone doesn’t mean the refiner will reach the height of that Ancient Demon. Generally, once demonic power is complete and one reaches the Peak of the Profound Immortal Realm, it becomes difficult to break through further.”

“Contrary to rumors, Yuan Jingtian hadn’t yet broken through to Heavenly Demon, not because he didn’t want to break through for the sake of opportunities, but because he simply couldn’t break through with his accumulations.”

Han Yi didn’t ask Xuan Cheng how he knew these secrets, after all, the information accessible to a Golden Immortal of the Xuan Zang Palace didn’t include these matters.

From their first meeting, Han Yi knew that Xuan Cheng harbored deep secrets, which were presumably related to the secrets he carried.

He gazed at the levitating black stone, his eyes shimmering thoughtfully.

“Ancient Demon inheritance.”

Speaking of which,

The Evil Sea within him was still there, and before becoming an immortal, he had also cultivated a True Body of the Evil Clan: Ghost True Body.

Moreover,

When he was at the Nascent Soul stage, he had learned a secret: by cultivating the arts of the Ancient Gods, Ancient Evil, and Ancient Immortals together to the extreme, a special transformation would occur.

He hadn’t yet understood the utility of this transformation, nor the extent of its power, because despite occasional interest over the years, there had been no records.

As far as he knew, no powerful beings who cultivated all three systems had appeared in the Daluo Immortal Realm.

This was to be expected, as since the Primordial Times, especially after the Extreme Ancient continent shattered, the Laws and Tao Principles changed, making the Divine Tribulation lethal, and it became increasingly rare for Ancient Gods of the Primordial Realm to emerge. Beings like Han Yi, who defied the heavens, were exceedingly rare, let alone those who could glimpse the Dangerous World and the special Divine Tribulation lands of the Ancestral level Ancient Gods from the God’s Tomb. Whether there were other such Ancient Gods born was still unknown.

Until now, he had not been disposed to pursue this, or rather, he hadn’t been particularly driven, considering the constraints of time. If he were to also indulge in cultivating the Ancient Demon series, his own realm would undoubtedly be greatly affected.

But if he could inherit everything from an Ancient Demon in one fell swoop, reaching the pinnacle instantly and complete the Ancient Demon system, even if it only brought him to the peak of the Profound Immortal Realm, Han Yi would be immensely pleased.

He extended his hand, enveloped the Ancient Demon Heart Stone with Divine Force, and brought it into his Divine Aperture World. Regarding this anomalous stone, he maintained a healthy wariness and did not wholly trust it, so he didn’t bring it into his Immortal Spirit Realm.

After securing the Ancient Demon Heart Stone, Han Yi gave Xuan Cheng a gesture of thanks, saying, “Thank you, Taoist Xuan Cheng.”

Then, looking toward the returning Sound Saint Profound Immortal and the Immortals of Silver Lake Immortal City who had restored the Immortal Array to normal, he said, “Let’s go, we’ll enter the Immortal City first.”

…

Although the space in today’s Immortal Realm hadn’t returned to its former state of hundreds of years ago where Transmission Arrays could instantly reach every corner, there were still ways to quickly pass on messages. For instance, by relying on some exceptionally fast Fairy Beasts, or certain special Immortal Artifacts. Transmitting messages was slower than using Transmission Arrays but still much faster than immortals passing messages manually.
