During his investigation, Venerable Lieyang sensed the surging demonic energy within Chu Wangtian's body, and he couldn't help but frown.

When he was examining Chu Wangtian's heart, Venerable Lieyang suddenly sensed something. He quickly increased the input of spiritual energy to make his examination more accurate.

"What is this?!" Venerable Lieyang was incredibly surprised. He "saw" a black, seed-like object inside Chu Wangtian's body. This "seed" was wrapped in grayish-black demonic energy, constantly eroding Chu Wangtian's body. When Venerable Lieyang's spiritual energy touched it, it actually absorbed Venerable Lieyang's spiritual energy and then eroded Chu Wangtian in the opposite direction.

Seeing that things were going badly, Venerable Lieyang quickly severed his connection with that wisp of spiritual energy.

"How is it? What's the situation?" The other cultivators inquired about the condition of Venerable Lieyang Chu Wangtian, with the elders of Lingxiao Sword Pavilion being the most anxious.

So, Venerable Lieyang told everyone what he had seen.

Everyone was extremely surprised when they heard about the seed-like thing filled with demonic energy. And when they heard that the seed-like thing could erode a person's spiritual energy, all the cultivators felt a trace of fear.

None of them knew how this substance invaded the cultivators' bodies, nor how to remove it. It now seemed that even spiritual energy couldn't eliminate the threat; instead, it was corrupting them. The cultivators were at a loss.

After discussion among the cultivators, a name was finally established for this item.

“We call it the ‘Demon Seed’!” Venerable Blazing Sun uttered the name of this thing.
