"Yes, senior sister." Song Yan bowed his head respectfully and spoke.

Ning Yunmiao transformed into light and flew away swiftly.

Song Yan tightly held those two Jade Scrolls, his Divine Sense swept through them, and one was the "Starry Sky Dictionary," while the other was the "Soul Splitting Technique."

Through casual conversation along the way, he had learned that outside the Lower Realm, anyone who could enter the Void in the vicinity of the Myriad Swords Star Realm knew the Starry Sky Script!

Only a poor, rustic cultivator like him, coming from the backwoods, wouldn’t recognize the Starry Sky Script.

’I must learn this.’

He mumbled to himself, then gazed intently at the "Soul Splitting Technique," and inexplicably felt an uncontrollable tension rising in his heart. Various techniques like "Celestial Sword Visualization Method" and "Corpse Cutting Technique" all came to mind, giving him a sense of instinctive caution...

Of course, he could use the Soul Splitting Technique.

The reason he claimed he couldn’t was purely out of caution.

At this moment, as he looked at the "Soul Splitting Technique," he contemplated for a moment and then moved the "Soul Splitting Technique" onto the panel and immediately began cultivating it with Heaven-Reaching Wisdom.

Shortly thereafter, the cultivation concluded.

Song Yan finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

Because, surprisingly, the "Soul Splitting Technique" was indeed the "Soul Splitting Technique," without any issues.

He looked again at the Life Lamp in front of him, not immediately lighting it, but temporarily leaving, exploring the terrain in Green Water Pool, and then chose a Cave Mansion at the foot of a mountain to settle in.

Once all this was done, he was surprised to find that the sky had darkened, and the twilight, like large masses of burning reed flower fluff, surged up the high mountain peaks.

He looked up at the clouds stained with dusk, his mood both calm and complex.

After a long while, he let out a long breath and muttered to himself: ’No problems found so far, but I must remain vigilant.’

...

...

More than half a month passed, and Ning Yunmiao had not returned.

Song Yan had already browsed through the "Starry Sky Dictionary" several times.

Learning a language without profound mysteries is not difficult for a cultivator, even if this "Starry Sky Script" is incredibly complex, with a single meaning being expressible by thousands or even tens of thousands of characters.

He returned to the deep palace of the Secret Realm, fixed his gaze on the floating Life Lamp, calmed his inner tension, and silently said: ’Using this Life Lamp as a target, perform the "Soul Splitting Technique" and split a wisp of Divine Soul into it.’

In a moment, the Life Lamp ignited with a lotus-green flame, slowly burning.

Song Yan felt a trace of warmth emerging in his Divine Soul, making his entire being relaxed, like a traveler who had journeyed for three days and nights soaking in a hot spring.

For a moment, he couldn’t tell whether this Life Lamp was good or bad.

Speaking of bad, the lighting of this Life Lamp clearly benefited him;

Speaking of good, there was a connection now formed between the Life Lamp and his Divine Soul. If there were mysteries concealed within this Life Lamp, or if someone used it for certain purposes, what then?

After all, his Heaven-Reaching Wisdom had its limitations, especially if the other party didn’t kill him instantly. That would indeed be quite troublesome.

But now that the Life Lamp had been ignited, he could only "accept whatever comes and make the best of it."

He sighed lightly and returned to the Cave Mansion in front of Green Water Pool.

The Cave Mansion seemed to be prepared for someone with elegant interests choosing it, providing fishing gear and the like.

Song Yan caught a fishing rod, sat by the pool, and decided to pass the day fishing.

After sitting for a while, the warming sunlight made him yawn unconsciously, his eyes becoming a bit blurry.

This woman would either become his closest kin or... the one who truly killed him. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

If it were before, Song Yan wouldn’t recognize it...

But now, he could clearly identify it.

He silently read: ’Ghost gate opens, do not believe. The door crack splits, peeking into the Netherworld. Skeleton hand, delight in human life. The hand has not arrived, but the soul first congeals.’

His gaze stiffened at the characters, and he rubbed his eyes.

The inscription vanished, and sunlight became warm again.

Song Yan shivered, goosebumps quickly forming, and he suddenly remembered the twisting visions "Celestial Venerable" Yun Zhaoxuan had seen before parting.

Could it be that Yun Zhaoxuan also saw this paragraph inscribed in Starry Sky Script?

...

...

The Pole Sword Platform was an enormous sword platform, even describable as a super-large Secret Realm.

To the left was the "Taiyin Sword Platform," to the right was the "Taiyang Sword Platform," the platforms connected by chains etched with Little Celestial Dao Characters, the Talisman script.

At the center of the Sword Platform stood a hexagonal black monolith, engraved with Six Paths totems.

At the base of the monolith, molten Profound Fire was faintly visible, and among various fissures were living demons and monsters of all colors, their evil eyes eerily gazing towards the sky, some trying to escape but suppressed by a formidable power.

The Pole Sword Platform was a place for disciples of the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace to practice, also a presence similar to a "Demon-Suppressing Tower."

At this moment, the dragon remains transported from a distant land were being moved here.

An elder scrutinized the dragon remains, slightly furrowed his brows, and asked, "Reacher, apart from natural damage, why are there signs of gnawing and refinement on these dragon remains?"
