Record of a Demon's Cultivation

---

“Thank you, Nether Fox, for the information.”

Song Wen casually remarked as his gaze began to assess the teleportation array.

The teleportation array had a total of seventy-two slots around it.

Just as the Nether Fox had said, these slots were meant for placing spirit stones, and they had to be high-grade spirit stones.

In other words, activating this teleportation array required seven hundred and twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Song Wen couldn’t help but click his tongue; such a quantity of spirit stones was enough to buy a decent magic treasure.

The need for so many spirit stones to activate this teleportation array indicated that the distance it could transport someone was very far.

A glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes; the farther the teleportation distance, the safer it would be.

Song Wen immediately began checking his storage ring, and after a bit of counting, he found he had eighty-nine high-grade spirit stones in total.

Among them, thirty came from Yang Yu's rewards.

The other fifty-nine were obtained from the Golden Core cultivators he had killed and the top-tier Foundation Establishment cultivators with impressive backgrounds.

With a wave of his hand, seventy-two high-grade spirit stones fell into the slots of the teleportation array.

The Nether Fox watched this scene with a hint of surprise in its eyes.

A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator actually carried so many high-grade spirit stones!

“Human, don’t be too happy too soon. The other end of the teleportation array leads to the Misty Ghost Realm, which is filled with boundless ghost mist and countless vengeful spirits lurking within. Even if you manage to teleport, you’ll only find yourself on a path to death.”

Song Wen ignored the Nether Fox and began to activate the blood-red array plate according to the controlling technique recorded in the jade slip.

He had no way out; regardless of how dangerous the other side of the teleportation array might be, he had no choice but to teleport, as it was his only glimmer of hope.

Tai He would definitely not let him go easily.

Staying in the inner hall meant either Tai He would devise a method to resist the ghost mist and enter the inner hall to capture him, or he would be trapped in the inner hall for an extended period, gradually being eroded by the ghost mist and turning into a soulless vengeful spirit.

Under Song Wen's urging, the teleportation array gradually lit up with a green glow.

Seeing Song Wen activate the array without hesitation, the Nether Fox realized that what Song Wen had said earlier about "the people outside wanting to capture him alive" was all a lie.

The opponent had long since run out of options; otherwise, he wouldn’t have so decisively activated the teleportation array.

“Humans are indeed cunning,” the Nether Fox muttered under its breath.

At that moment, the stone door of the inner hall was pushed open again, revealing Tai He's figure at the entrance.

He had learned from Xue Mei about a temporary method to resist the ghost mist.

It was a technique called "Spirit Bell Shield," originating from the Divine Blood Gate, which Xue Mei had obtained tens of thousands of years ago.

The "Spirit Bell Shield" was a defensive spell that condensed a large bell made of spiritual power, enveloping the cultivator’s entire body.

This spell wasn’t particularly profound but required a robust spiritual power to perform, making it only trainable for Golden Core cultivators.

After acquiring the "Spirit Bell Shield," Tai He pondered for a moment and, after several attempts, managed to condense a large bell.

The bell was thin, giving a sense of instability.

This was due to Tai He just beginning to practice the "Spirit Bell Shield."

Although the silver bell was frail, the inner hall was small, spanning only a few acres.

The silver bell only needed to hold for a brief moment to allow Tai He to delve deeper into the inner hall and thoroughly search the entire area.

It is worth mentioning that after Xue Mei had surrendered the array plate, she lost her leverage against Tai He and had been captured by him.

At this moment, she was trapped by Tai He's magical chains, lying in a corner of the outer hall.

Once Tai He entered the inner hall, the ghost mist surged like waves, continuously crashing against the silver bell.

The bell flickered uncertainly, as if it could shatter at any moment.

However, unlike the magical shields, which were quickly eroded by the ghost mist, the silver bell managed to block the mist effectively.

Suddenly...

In the Depths of the Inner Hall, the blue light flared brilliantly, allowing Tai He to see clearly through the thick ghost mist.

A sense of foreboding rose in Tai He's heart as he flickered into the deeper parts of the inner hall.

...

Tai He pushed open the stone door of the inner hall and re-entered, immediately capturing the attention of Song Wen and the Nether Fox.

Song Wen's pupils suddenly contracted, and spiritual energy surged violently into the blood-red array plate.

All the runes of the teleportation array lit up, shining with blue light.

The teleportation array activated instantly.

Seeing Tai He returning, the Nether Fox also felt a pang of panic.

Without a moment to think, it leapt with all its might.

At the last moment before the teleportation array activated, it entered the range of the array.

Blue light surged toward the sky.

It illuminated the inner hall, which was shrouded in dark ghost mist.

The figures of Song Wen and the Nether Fox vanished without a trace.

Tai He rushed to the front of the teleportation array as the blue light began to gradually dissipate.

Staring at the empty teleportation array, Tai He’s expression darkened to an extreme, an invisible aura emanating from him.

The surrounding ghost mist trembled as if buffeted by a violent wind, surging endlessly.

After a few breaths...

The silver bell suddenly swayed violently, showing signs of collapse.

Only then did Tai He reluctantly turn around and exit the inner hall.

He approached Xue Mei, looking down at her lying on the ground.

“The teleportation array in the inner hall leads where?”

Tai He's voice was as cold as a blade, causing Xue Mei to tremble involuntarily.

With a somewhat panicked voice, she replied, “The teleportation array connects to the Misty Ghost Realm outside the Chaotic Sea, I don’t know how many billions of miles away.”

Between the Chaotic Sea and the Tianyuan Continent lay an endless desert.

Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator, using all their speed, would take a year to reach the Chaotic Sea.

Within the endless desert, there were various natural disasters.

For example, there were gales that could kill Nascent Soul Cultivators and scorching heat comparable to spiritual flames.

Moreover, the endless desert lacked spiritual energy. If cultivators stayed there for too long, once their spirit stones and medicinal herbs were exhausted and they could not find an oasis rich in spiritual energy, their cultivation would inevitably regress.

The endless desert was like a natural chasm, separating the Tianyuan Continent from the Chaotic Sea, making interactions between cultivators from both sides rare.

Furthermore, the location the teleportation array connected to was not the Chaotic Sea itself, but rather the Misty Ghost Realm beyond it.

The Misty Ghost Realm was situated over the vast ocean, perpetually shrouded in ghost mist, making it a forbidden zone for all living beings. Any creature that ventured into it would ultimately be eroded by the ghost mist, turning into a soulless vengeful spirit, drifting endlessly within the mist.

Tai He took out Song Wen's soul lamp and performed a secret technique to probe Song Wen's location.

The flame of the soul lamp flickered slightly before returning to calm.

The distance between them was too great, far exceeding the sensing range of the soul lamp.

The soul lamp's response confirmed that Xue Mei’s words were not false.

Clenching his hands tightly, a burning rage filled his eyes.

As a dignified Nascent Soul Cultivator, he had actually allowed a Foundation Establishment cultivator to escape right under his nose.

Tai He’s gaze was icy as he looked at Xue Mei.

It was clear that Song Wen had been captured, and it was this woman who had used the Nether Fox to lure him, resulting in Song Wen’s escape.

He unleashed his fury on Xue Mei.

“You deserve to die!”
