To succeed, one must leave, then possess someone's body, acquire a physical form, and then begin cultivation again.

He can barely reach the Grandmaster level now with his cultivation technique, but if he obtains a physical body and goes outside to find the resources he previously stored, he will quickly return to the Profound Realm level.

Then, hehe...

Lin Yu, you just wait and see! Even if I can't kill you, I can kill your family first and make you suffer unbearable pain, wahahahaha!

Wild laughter echoed throughout the cave.

...

Meanwhile, after obtaining the demon core, Lin Yu and Lin Yi decided to leave Tianyuan.

After leaving the Flaming Mountain, return via the same route.

The abyss was vast and easy to get lost in; as the two walked, they strayed from their original route.

A massive snow-capped mountain appeared ahead.

"Brother Yu, I have a bad feeling about this!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, this is auspicious!"

"No, I've seen this place on ancient maps. It used to be the entrance to hell, where many demons and monsters lived!"

"We've already taken down the Blood Demon, what are you afraid of?"

"The Blood Demon is indeed powerful, but he is not invincible in the entire Tianyuan. There are several powerful lords. I remember the Records of Mountains and Seas mentioning a female demon who lives in the snowy mountains year-round!"

"Banshee? You play League of Legends?"

"You mean LoL? I haven't played it in ages. Ever since that all-Chinese team lost in 2024, I haven't paid any attention to it. Speaking of which, all these years later, it seems like the all-Chinese team still hasn't won a championship!"

"It's still better than the national football team, right?"

"That's a huge improvement, at least they made it to the finals!"

The two drifted further and further apart, seemingly chatting but actually trying to ease their tension.

The two realized they were lost in the snow-covered mountains!
