"Not here."

In the Western Nether Realm, a cultivator retrieves the Observing Dust Jade Pendant.

The use of the Jade Pendant comes with a certain cost and consumption, and poses unknown risks. It’s generally not employed unless absolutely necessary, for rashly probing into others’ pasts might uncover things better left unknown, with endless repercussions.

Furthermore, the Observing Dust Jade Pendant has a "range," and only when the target is within this range does it become effective.

The deceased have already left this world, even though the Blood River Sect wishes to learn some things through Ming Ruyin, they are powerless to achieve it.

"It’s normal not to be here. Since that person killed Ruyin, he should have learned quite a few secrets. How could he stay here?"

"The only uncertainty is whether Ning Yunmiao is truly dead. If not, it becomes intriguing."

"Rest assured, the Blood Ancestor has arranged many people. That person won’t leave too far."

...

Fifty-year void ship journey away from the Western Nether Realm lies the Fifth Layer Cultivation Profound Land known as the Frozen Domain...

Two cultivators gather the Observing Dust Jade Pendant amidst the storm and snow.

"Logically, he should be here. This place is his best choice, but why is there no sign?"

"Keep looking. He can’t escape!"

...

In the Twin Sparrow Domain towards the righteous direction from the Rusted Sword Blood Abyss.

An old man strokes his beard, puts away the Observing Dust Jade Pendant, and gently shakes his head.

...

Several teams of cultivators are secretly probing various places.

Anyone within a Cultivation Profound Land cannot escape the investigation.

However, the Blood River Sect dares not act openly, only discreetly visiting under the guise of handling affairs and seeking opportunities.

...

...

A hundred years passed quickly.

The initial explorations are reported back to Liu Venerable.

This male cultivator with a Kuye mark on his forehead listens to the news from various sides in his cave mansion, cross-referencing maps and eliminating possibilities one by one.

Yun Linzi looks at the map and says, "Liu Venerable, the two star domains are vast and immense, and he isn’t in any of the most likely hiding places nearby, making the search like finding a needle in a haystack."

Liu Venerable furrows his brow, saying, "The boy harbors great secrets, but I find it hard to believe he killed Ning Yunmiao."

Yun Linzi says, "No one can predict the future, Ning Yunmiao’s Soul Lamp extinguished suddenly, no one could have rehearsed it in advance."

Liu Venerable slightly nods, pondering, "The reports mention a great battle erupted in Rusted Sword Blood Abyss, now nothing remains, yet it’s unknown who took action."

His fingers tap "tapping" on the jade stone table, and after some thought, he says, "Now there’s a legend circulating in the Western Nether Realm about that demon and how he slew the Chang Night Emperor. This matter has come to light..."

"With the power of Wa Saint, taking someone into the depths of the Nine Heavens, the Wa Saint’s vessel is truly remarkable..." Yun Linzi marvels, then seems to think of something, saying, "Liu Venerable, why don’t we go with the flow?"

But now, the fifth layer opens before Song Yan’s eyes.

The scent of the flower becomes like a guiding light for lost thoughts returning home, suddenly causing ripples below the fourth layer, like the gates of ghosts have opened, countless obsessed souls surge upward like migrating fish streams.

Song Yan wields the Greed Wolf Sword, moves and sits cross-legged beneath the red flower, saying one word: "Introduction!"

Instantly, endless obsessions and Sea of Suffering creatures rush towards him.

The Sea of Suffering churns, its waves transform into myriad celestial demons, architecture crumbles, ghosts shriek demons wail.

Large-scale gravitational field, small-scale realm of freedom...

One large, one small, the former attracts, the latter captures, in addition to the Substitute Death technique.

Song Yan’s cultivation begins advancing at an unthinkable speed.

Others need at least tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years to cultivate to the late-stage Realm Spirit realm, yet he is perfecting it at the fastest pace...

He sits on the shore of the Sea of Suffering.

Obsession rapidly dissipates.

It seems, as if being enlightened by him.

Ning Yunmiao watches the scene, feeling her junior doing a good deed but in a technique so sinister that she isn’t sure if Song Yan is inheriting Senior Gu Mohan’s legacy.

While purifying celestial demon’s obsession, Song Yan gazes at the fifth layer, squinting his eyes suddenly, a rolling Earth Boundary Stone catches his attention.

On the Earth Boundary Stone, the faintly discernible words "Purple Sun City" can be seen. It’s a mortal city he encountered in the Great Dao Chessboard.

Simultaneously, the title of "Great Demon" begins to spread across the righteous and evil realms...
