[A large number of machine beasts were destroyed to the point that they couldn’t move, but Great Wei’s Secret Guards also suffered heavy losses.]

[The leader of the Secret Guards suffered heavy injuries.]

[However, he snatched that copper coin!]

[…]

“What an astonishing bloody aura. This is a demon weapon condensed from the blood sacrifice of tens of thousands of demon beasts!”

The old lady’s shocked voice rang out, “This thing is abnormally vicious. If a person with a weak fate were to come into contact with this thing…”

“I’m afraid that the next day, they would be dead!”

The old lady said solemnly, “This demon weapon seems to have the function of divining good fortune and bad luck. Moreover, its accuracy may be very high.”

Looking at the Blood-red Copper Coin in her hand and listening to the old lady’s reminder, Qin Jiao’s mood was slightly complicated.

She knew that the reason why Whitey had become the only demon beast in the entire cultivation world. That was because all of his fellow demon beasts had been sacrificed to refine the weapon.

Tens of thousands of demon beasts had turned into a copper coin, so Qin Jiao naturally knew that this item was extraordinary.

Fortune-telling…

High accuracy…

This seemed to be similar to Whitey’s innate ability.

Daoist Blood Lotus probably refined this kind of demon weapon to save his life!

Or perhaps… It also had other uses that he did not know for the time being?

“If this thing can really divine good and bad luck, it’s an incredible spirit tool for you and me,” Chen Qianxue suddenly said. “This means that we can avoid some danger.”

Qin Jiao also knew this. She held the Blood-red Copper Coin in her hand and looked at Whitey not far away.

Her thoughts were complicated.

[Age 25, the core area of the giant bronze gate has already been explored by Chen Qianxue, Qin Jiao, and the others. It was also on this day that Chen Qianxue broke through to the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage, and Qin Jiao followed closely behind to break through to the third level of Foundation Establishment stage.]

[Age 26, the pet beast Whitey sent out a reminder. Chen Qianxue and Qin Jiao discovered that they had arrived at a strange place. This place was filled with a dense demonic aura, causing alarm bells to ring in their hearts.]

[They even suspected that other than Whitey, there were other living demon beasts in the giant bronze gate?]

[Or… could there be a living person inside?!]

[When Chen Qianxue and Qin Jiao searched deeper, they found that their disciples didn’t have any living ancient demon beasts, nor did they have any living ancient people. However… what they found shocked the two of them. It was unbelievable! ]

[They discovered a demon embryo!!]

[…]

Within a large hall filled with mottled time, the walls were filled with strange murals. The images on the murals seemed to record the life of a person.

From birth, to growth, to Immortal cultivation, to ascension, to falling into the Demon Path, to slaughtering the common people, to becoming a great demon…

It was very obvious.

This was the life path of an ancient demon. Daoist Blood Lotus had recorded his entire life.

Perhaps… This was a unique hobby of Daoist Blood Lotus.

He liked to record what he had experienced. Even if it was something outrageous, he still recorded it down in detail.

Other than that, the most eye-catching thing was the center of the hall.

It was a very ancient altar.

The altar was covered with blood-colored patterns, which gathered into ancient runes.

The blood-colored runes flickered with a faint red light.

After millions of years, the altar was still intact.

The blood-colored demonic aura around the altar was extremely dense, making anyone who got close to it feel a chill run down their spine. Goosebumps rose uncontrollably all over their bodies.

There were many unique spirit tools placed on the altar. The spirit tools had also gone through millions of years of wind and frost. They were no longer the same as before, but they seemed to be barely usable.

In the middle of the altar… A demon embryo that was like an infant, quietly floated there!

It exuded a terrifying aura! It made people’s hearts tremble!

“Soul Formation Demon Embryo!”

On the scene, the strongest leader of the Great Wei’s Secret Guards said, “Once an Immortal cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, the Golden Core in their body will turn into a spirit embryo. Once an Immortal cultivator reaches the Soul Formation stage, the spirit embryo in their body will be able to leave their body!”

“Unless the body and spirit embryo of a Soul Formation stage cultivator can be destroyed at the same time. Otherwise… with the spirit embryo that can leave the body, a Soul Formation stage cultivator will have a second life!”

He continued with a serious tone, “Normally, a Soul Formation stage warrior who leaves the spirit embryo on his own will be greatly weakened…”

“This is the price to pay for having a second life.”

At this moment.

The voice of Granny Qin was heard, “He is right. This is a spirit embryo of a Soul Formation stage demon. Moreover, this spirit embryo doesn’t seem to have any consciousness. This means that Daoist Blood Lotus is still alive.”

“Because once the spirit embryo has consciousness, it means that Daoist Blood Lotus… his real body has been destroyed, and he has no choice but to use the spirit embryo to live another life.”

“…”

The words of the two Nascent Soul stage cultivators naturally had authority at this time.

After Qin Jiao heard these words, she muttered in shock, “That is to say… even if we kill Daoist Blood Lotus in the Demon-sealing Tower, he can rely on this spirit embryo to resurrect?”

The old lady said, “Not only can he resurrect, but he can also recover at least 70 percent of his strength in a short time.”
