People die for wealth, birds die for food.

Those who commit murder must be prepared to be killed themselves.

Li Ming looked at the two men lying in a pool of blood with icy eyes.

They then collected their bodies... The two were carrying many rare and precious materials, which they must have obtained from this secret realm, but whether they were stolen or found is unknown.

Lee Myung-reluctantly accepted the inheritance.

Then he called Qin Yun over and left with him.

...

Return to the previously hidden cave.

Li Ming first cleared out the wandering evil blood beasts nearby to prevent Qin Yun from being disturbed during his breakthrough.

"Eat this evil aura fruit when you are gathering evil energy."

With a wave of his hand, Li Ming took out three evil energy fruits from his storage ring and handed them over.

Qin Yun had previously done him a great favor by notifying Tong Qing, which left Su Yuanyuan with absolutely no room to struggle.

He had to help her out of both goodwill and badwill.

A look of surprise flashed in Qin Yun's eyes.

"Isn't it a bit wasteful to give me so much?"

Normally, the more of this stuff you eat, the less effective it becomes.

Eating one or two is probably the best choice.

"It's alright, there's plenty more."

"If that's not enough, there's more."

Li Ming casually said that there were twenty of these things in total, and he would only eat three or four at most, and use the rest to exchange for other resources.

He still hasn't found the materials needed to form the core in the Yi Mu True Skill.

He planned to find Cai Shisan, the chubby guy, after leaving the secret realm, and then take out his gains from this period to see if he could exchange or buy them all.

In order not to disturb Qin Yun.

Li Ming walked straight out of the cave, cautiously observing the surrounding movements.

In his mind, he was already considering which two terms to choose.

He had not yet chosen to take over the entries for the Yue brothers.

Although Yue Ling's [Demon Blade] is a blue-level attribute, which is extremely rare, it is unfortunately different from his path and can only be discarded.

A murderous intent can make a person extreme and bloodthirsty, but the benefit is that it reduces the guilt after killing.

It's not suitable for him either.

Ultimately, it boils down to choosing between the "True Meaning of the Blade" and the "Wind Spirit Body".

Yue Ling has only grasped one-tenth of the true meaning of the sword, so we won't consider that for now.

[Wind Spirit Body (Azure)]: [A superior cultivation physique, aided by the winds of heaven and earth, accelerating the cultivation of wind-based techniques.]

"God is the wind in the sky, and the trees on the ground..."

"Yue Ling has cultivated the demonic path and fallen deeply into demonic possession. He has neglected his own physique and has put the cart before the horse."

"However, this physique is similar to my previous Green Wood Physique. I wonder if it will conflict with my Wood Spirit Physique, or if it can be fused with it?"

Li Ming pondered for a while.

Then, on a sudden impulse, he asked the system a question directly.

What are the consequences of seizing the Wind Spirit's body?

[It can fuse with the Wood elemental spirit; if a large amount of life energy is consumed, a higher-level fusion will be triggered.]

Superior fusion, what is that?

Li Ming was a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it.

What are the benefits?

[These can be merged into entirely new entries, with a higher potential compared to previous entries.]

How much life energy is needed?

[Life Force.]

"Um?"

Li Ming was a little surprised.

Just for a blue and cyan entry, do we really need so many?

Is it trying to make an exorbitant demand?

Do you think he's a sucker?

Honest and transparent dealings with young and old; the benefits of this integration are immense.

Seeing that the system had unusually said something extra, Li Ming sighed.

Ultimately, one cannot achieve freedom of destiny.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to merge.

After all, he felt that the system wouldn't cheat him, and if it did, there was nothing he could do about it.

With a thought, Li Ming spent the life energy he had just acquired, and a new entry appeared.

The ancient-style characters seem to exude an aura of antiquity.

[Primordial Spirit Body (Blue)]: [Primordial being is the origin of primordial energy, encompassing all things and reaching far into the Dao. This is the most powerful spirit body in the world, currently in an unawakened state.]

In an instant.

Li Ming was surrounded by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The muscles, bones, and internal organs inside the body are as clear and bright as glass.

Its body shone brightly, as awe-inspiring as the might of Heaven.

A short while later.

Although Li Ming's appearance remained unchanged, his figure seemed to have become more slender, his skin was as white and smooth as a baby's, and his eyes were dark but sparkling with a sharp and piercing light.

In particular, she exudes a subtle, ethereal, and noble aura, like a celestial being untouched by the dust of the world.

"The previous Wood Spirit Body and Jade Bone transformed me completely, but I never expected this Primordial Spirit Body to be even more powerful. It's as if it has allowed me to complete a leap in my life..."

Li Ming carefully experienced the changes within himself, feeling the benefits brought to him by the [Primordial Spirit Body], and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

Qi and blood, and true qi, become more solid and condensed, as easily as wielding an arm.

His Azure Dragon Qi, originally a pure cyan color, has now been tinged with black and white, giving it a unique charm.

If ordinary martial artists use true qi, then he is the master of true qi.

Even amidst this filthy spiritual energy, Li Ming's cultivation technique, which transformed true qi, was far more efficient than before.

Simply put, whatever the [Yi Wood Spirit Body] can do, the [Primordial Spirit Body] can do as well.

What the [Primordial Spirit Body] can do, the [Wood Spirit Body] may not be able to do.

"This life was well spent... but this Primordial Spirit Body isn't the limit yet..."

This Primordial Spirit Body is definitely not at the level that a blue-level entry should be at. Perhaps it is because its life energy is insufficient, resulting in the Primordial Spirit Body not being in a perfect form.

According to the description, this is considered an unawakened state.

However, advancing to the next level requires a significant amount of life energy...

Then, Li Ming began selecting entries from Yue Shan's biography.

[Body of Vajra], [Strength of a Fierce Tiger], [Martial Arts Fanatic]

The first two can be integrated into existing entries as fuel, while [Martial Arts Fanatic] can be merged with all of Li Ming's current [Fist Fanatic] entries.

However, it still requires life energy to fuse.

Li Ming saw that it only required 3000 life energy.

That's all.

Let's merge; a little more life force won't make a difference.

【The Heart of Martial Arts (Blue)】: 【My martial arts path is based solely on utmost sincerity; my heart is the heart of Heaven, my path is the path of Heaven.】

Li Ming looked at the description of the entry and seemed to be deep in thought.

Only I can follow the martial path?

Is this the system's evaluation of him, or a manifestation of his inner self?

That suits his personality...

He had previously been filled with nameless rage, disgusted by this world, disgusted by those high-ranking noble families, disgusted by those bandits who treated human life as worthless, and disgusted by those demonic cultists who regarded people as ants.

They believe that with their own system, what do those immortals and gods matter?

Occasionally, the thought of killing all the injustices in the world would arise.

These mental and emotional attributes acted like a reassurance, giving him a greater sense of composure regarding power and martial arts.

This is exactly what every martial arts master needs.

This is one of the reasons why outstanding individuals often emerge from humble backgrounds. Many geniuses born into powerful families and influential clans do not have a pure or clear understanding of the pursuit of martial arts.

...

Inside the cave.

Qin Yun's expression was very complicated at this moment.

Li Ming had helped her so much; she owed him so much.

"Brother Li, I will always remember the favor I owe you. If you ever need my help in the future, please let me know."

Qin Yun suddenly looked at Li Ming and said very seriously.

"Miss Qin has also helped me a lot. It's just mutual assistance. Between friends, there's no need to think too much about these trivial matters."

A faint smile appeared on Li Ming's face.

Perhaps in the other person's eyes, he helped a lot.

In reality, it was just a small favor for him.

"Let's rest for a while, then go and explore other parts of the secret realm."

"I wonder in what form this supreme-grade baleful aura will appear?"

Qin Yun nodded obediently: "Okay."

...

Another location in the Bloodbath Secret Realm.

A plain, the land stained with blood.

The wind howled fiercely, and crimson blood mist drifted through the air.

A group of martial artists looked out from a high point and were dumbfounded by the sight in the distance.

What is this?

Squads of spearmen and cavalrymen stood in orderly formation, each in their own ranks.

The blood-red flag fluttered in the air.

It gives people a majestic and imposing aura, as immovable as a mountain.
