Upon hearing Lin Jinglong's question, the skeleton casually replied, "My name is Sikong Tang. You should have heard of me."

Sikong Hall...

Lin Jinglong pondered for a moment.

He suddenly took out a jade slip and contacted Lan Yuexin. He seemed to have heard of the name before, but he couldn't remember what the other person's identity was.

After contacting Lan Yuexin, I explained his problem.

Lan Yuexin said strangely, "Why are you asking this? Sikong Tang was the previous incarnation of the Heavenly Demon. He was once influenced by the will of the Heavenly Demon and roamed the seven great demon caves in the Northern Region, trying to release all the demonic energy in the caves."

"Then how did he die?"

Lin Jinglong continued to press for answers.

Sikong Tang suddenly said slowly, "You're asking me about my identity?"

Lan Yuexin added, "He was a figure from a thousand years ago. Back then, he was hunted down by countless righteous people, including our Demon-Slaying Palace."

"However, he was seriously injured at the time and hid somewhere. All we know is that after that chase, he never showed up again."

"You didn't run into him, did you?"

Lan Yuexin's tone became increasingly strange.

Lin Jinglong didn't say much to her. After ending the call, he began to really examine the skeleton standing in front of him.

He suddenly let out a strange laugh.

"Sikong Hall, right? The original owner of the Heavenly Demon Sword was once recognized by the will of the Heavenly Demon and became the so-called incarnation of the Heavenly Demon."

"You do know me."

When Lin Jinglong took out the jade slip, Sikong Tang knew that he was probably seeking help from the outside world and asking about his identity.

Sikong Tang said in a hoarse voice, "It doesn't matter whether you know me or not. As long as you hand over this Heavenly Demon Sword, I will naturally give you wealth and honor without harming your life."

"Yeah?"

Lin Jinglong simply threw the Heavenly Demon Sword over.

After Sikong Tang took the Heavenly Demon Sword, a look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face. Lin Jinglong didn't know why he could see such ecstasy on a skull's face.

Perhaps it was the will conveyed by the two will-o'-the-wisps in the other person's eye sockets.

Sikongtang couldn't help but burst into wild, joyful laughter.

"Hahaha! After a thousand years, I have finally obtained this sword again. It is truly a blessing from heaven. I wonder if those bastards from back then are still alive!"

"If they were still alive, I would also bury them!"

"That battle back then wasn't truly over yet!"

Sikong Tang appeared extremely arrogant.

He suddenly turned his head and glared fiercely at Lin Jinglong.

"Young man, do you know what happened back then?"

"You're being attacked?"

"Ambush? All of them combined are no match for me. They just seized an opportunity to ambush me, suppressing the Heavenly Demon Sword I was in control, which led to my defeat!"

Sikongtang still harbors resentment over what happened back then.

Lin Jinglong pondered for a moment. It turned out that this sword was not naturally present in the First Demon Cave, but was sealed inside by righteous people a thousand years ago.

After Sikong Tang finished speaking, he walked towards Lin Jinglong.

"Your physique is quite good. I told you I would give you a chance to become rich and powerful. I will possess your body and then help your body achieve the Demonic Yin Body. At that time, you will become my number one general!"

Hearing this, Lin Jinglong couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He said helplessly, "Possession? Isn't that inappropriate? Didn't I already awaken you and give you the Heavenly Demon Sword?"

His smile was somewhat enigmatic. Although the Heavenly Demon Sword was in the other party's hands, it was only a matter of wills for him to take it back.

Because he has tamed the sword, and the will within it.

As for Sikong Tang, he had only gained the approval of the Heavenly Demon's Origin Will; his level was still too low.

Sikong Tang, however, was unaware of Lin Jinglong's trump card.

This incarnation of a celestial demon from a thousand years ago sneered.

"It's an honor for you that I'm even interested in your body. If it weren't for the fact that your body and bloodline are really good, I wouldn't even look at you."

"Moreover, based on my understanding of the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique, I can easily use demonic energy to help you forge a demonic yin body, making you the number one person in the world below me."

"Can you bear to miss such an opportunity?"

Lin Jinglong's eyes flickered.

He was also very interested in the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique.

Furthermore, he was well aware that none of the practitioners of this skill, including Zhang Shentong, truly understood its underlying principles.

They merely used their will to merge with the origin of the Heavenly Demon, thereby achieving the state of Dao Integration, and then used demonic energy to achieve the state of Demonic Yin Body.

Through this, one can attain the supreme state of harmony with the Dao!

But that's where the limit is.

However, in Lin Jinglong's view, the limit of the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique is by no means limited to this. There must be new levels of understanding beyond the Great Perfection.

However, he hasn't fully mastered it yet.

"Could it be that you created the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique?"

"Exactly!"

Sikongtang became increasingly smug.

He stroked the Heavenly Demon Sword in his hand, which he had not seen for a thousand years.

He said in a nostalgic tone, "Back then, I accidentally entered the Demon Cave of Tianlang City, and there, I tempered myself with demonic energy, achieving the Demon Yin Body. Afterwards, I created the Heavenly Demon Rebirth Technique, and in the path of the Heavenly Demon Origin, I reached a realm that even ancient cultivators had never reached!"

"You should know that the true Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique can put you into a state of immortality, allowing you to coexist with the will of the Heavenly Demon. Even if you die, the will of the Heavenly Demon can reshape your physical body and soul!"

"This is the true secret of the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jinglong frowned.

This Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique sounds even more powerful than the tenth level of the Heavenly Silkworm Technique. If ancient cultivators mastered such a technique, they wouldn't need to worry about any great calamities.

After all, even when the Great Calamity of the Absolute Interconnection of Heaven and Earth descends, the Heavenly Demon Origin or other primal forces in the world merely lie dormant, rather than completely dissipating like spiritual energy.

This is also why those Dao-merging cultivators hidden behind the scenes can remain hidden and manipulate everything in the human world.

Lin Jinglong asked curiously, "How does one cultivate this technique? Although I have mastered the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique, I have not grasped its true essence."

"You also want to achieve that state of immortality?"

Sikong Tang looked at Lin Jinglong with amusement.

He looked Lin Jinglong up and down, and the smile he conveyed suddenly changed from calm and gentle to ferocious and terrifying.

"But do you know that there can only ever be one person in this world who can cultivate the complete Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique? Because to gain the ability to be immortal and coexist with the Heavenly Demon's essence, one must obtain the Heavenly Demon's approval!"

Sikongtang's tone grew increasingly cold.

"So, are you planning to compete with me for this opportunity?"
