With Mingye and Tinglan dead, the group of sinful immortals outside lost their leader.
Lingxi, who had just turned back, led the celestial soldiers to defeat the crazed sinful immortals one by one.
The Mo brothers were all busy, running around helping out.
Only Yan Qingran, Ruoruo, and Mo Yong remained in the Taiji Hall.
Yan Qingran, frowning as she pulled on the golden chain, used the Soul-Destroying Spear to destroy the runes at the base of the chain, breaking the formation and severing all the chains one by one.
Mo Yong finally managed to catch his breath.
Ruoruo then used the Kunlun Sword to continuously help Mo Yong regulate his life force and used the pills she refined to regulate his immortal essence.
It took more than an hour for Mo Yong's face to gradually regain some color.
"Qingran, your demonic cultivation has become so powerful..." Mo Yong said after taking a breath, "But I see that the cultivation method you practice is quite similar to Mingye and the others. Will it affect your mind?"
Upon hearing this, Ruoruo hurriedly took out the medicine and eagerly handed it to Yan Qingran, saying, "Ruoruo doesn't want Mommy to go crazy, Mommy, take your medicine."
Yan Qingran pinched Ruoruo's cheek in annoyance: "If I go crazy, the first thing I'll do is eat you, you little kitten."
Mingye and the others were only practicing incomplete cultivation techniques, which they then combined with these evil insects from outside to rapidly increase their cultivation levels.
Yan Qingran said with disgust, "These people are blinded by power. In the early stages, this kind of insect will disturb their minds and drive them crazy."
As a person's cultivation level increases, this insect will also grow, exerting a greater influence on them until it eventually completely takes over their body, turning them into puppets of these insects.
Looking at the pile of insects burned to ashes on the ground, Ruoruo felt a chill run down her spine: "How could they dare to use that..."
"Because they think they can refine insects." Yan Qingran curled her lips in disdain. "They have an inflated sense of self-importance."
"How do you know so clearly?" Mo Yong asked in confusion.
Yan Qingran said slowly, "Because swallowing this worm is only the first step. There are many ways to cultivate by swallowing this worm. Their method of cultivating by devouring human flesh, talent, immortal essence, and soul should be derived from my previous cultivation method."
When she first arrived in this world and discovered that she had no immortal roots, she decided to cultivate her body and absorb spiritual energy through her physical body.
However, in that case, her potential is ultimately limited.
So Yan Qingran tried all sorts of cultivation methods, and finally used the dual cultivation of immortals and demons to create a pseudo-immortal root in her dantian.
After a bumpy and difficult journey of cultivation, I've finally managed to cultivate both immortal and demonic arts.
However, the speed of cultivating demonic energy is much faster than that of cultivating immortal energy. She must use immortal spiritual energy to balance the demonic energy, otherwise she will also experience some mental confusion.
"Initially, I intended to establish a power within the Demon Realm and pass on some techniques."
I overlooked the demons' desires and greed; their followers rebelled, and someone discovered and used this insect.
That's when I started to study it quite a bit. As long as it hasn't taken over a human body and isn't in its complete form, it's easy to deal with; they're afraid of fire.
Mo Yong took a deep breath: "This insect is unusual. It shouldn't be something from our Six Realms, especially since it carries the scent of Evil Poison."
The poison was the culprit that caused his body to become like this.
No one knows where this poison came from. It appeared at the source of the Six Realms' spiritual veins, Kunlun Ruins, and directly invaded the Six Realms' spiritual veins.
He risked his life to suppress the poison within his body, but this only treated the symptoms, not the root cause.
“Kunlun Ruins is currently showing no abnormalities.” Ruoruo held up a phantom image of Kunlun Ruins in her hand, which appeared to be full of vitality and spiritual energy, showing no signs of being troubled by the Evil Poison.
The origin of this insect remains a mystery.
"I should have spared that old geezer's life," Yan Qingran muttered.
Mo Yong couldn't help but look at her hands: "Qing Ran, it seems that your cultivation has not only fully recovered, but has also increased."
"There's a war going on in the Demon Realm, with so many corpses and blood spirits to sustain me. If I don't break through soon, there'll be no reason for me to do so." Yan Qingran smiled smugly. "Now that I've achieved mastery in the Demonic Path, if it weren't for some little brat trying to cause trouble and me getting so worried that I rushed back in time, I should be hiding from the Demon Lord's inheritance by now."
"Huh?" Ruoruo nervously gripped the hem of her dress. "Ruoruo didn't do anything wrong. Ruoruo is clearly very well-behaved."
"A girl who practices forbidden arts?" Mo Yong bluntly exposed her secret. "Qing Ran, she actually collected the Ten Divine Artifacts, wanting to use forbidden arts to ascend to the rank of High God. Such recklessness..."
Yan Qingran's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "There's actually such a forbidden technique?"
She only knew that her daughter was doing something adventurous, but she never imagined it would be like this.
A sudden sense of foreboding arose in Mo Yong's heart.
How could he forget that his wife also never followed the usual path?
Sure enough, Yan Qingran immediately followed up with, "Ruoruo, tell me about that forbidden technique in detail? Is there any book that records it? Mommy will take a look for you, and we can even practice together!"
"Qingran!" Mo Yong shouted through gritted teeth, "This is dangerous. You should be advising your daughter, not..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Qingran covered his mouth: "Alright, you don't need to talk anymore. Forbidden techniques are spells that stupid people are forbidden to practice. Ruoruo and I are both quite talented. If there is a feasible method, why not try it?"
In times of peace, she would naturally not want her precious daughter to take such a risk.
