This was precisely the wisp of Tianlan Wood essence that Chen Fei had forcibly extracted, stripped, and sealed from the core of the illusion.
Chen Fei's previous battle with He Qiusheng was made possible by using the wisp of Tianlan Wood Qi that he had intercepted beforehand as a medium, which allowed him to relatively accurately capture the subtle fluctuations of He Qiusheng's true form even when he was confused by the illusion and his vision and divine sense were blocked.
However, this capture process is time-consuming and not precise or stable enough. If He Qiusheng were more vigilant, or possessed more mysterious concealment abilities, he could very well move away or launch a stronger attack before the enemy could fully lock onto him.
Often, battles are decided in an instant.
Especially in situations where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, and the environment is extremely unfavorable, the true form of the vengeful demon is often deeply hidden, skilled in illusion and escape techniques, and its true form is elusive.
If we can pinpoint their location first, we can seize the initiative, catch them off guard, and avoid being forced into a passive defensive position and being worn down.
In these perilous ancient ruins, any advantage could determine life or death.
Chen Fei looked up at the boundless, dense, and impenetrable dark demonic energy surrounding him. This place was on the dark side of the ruins, where demonic energy was the absolute ruler, omnipresent and all-pervasive.
With the limited amount of Heavenly Azure Wood energy in hand, it would be too difficult to track down other possible, or even more powerful, vengeful demons in this ocean of demonic energy.
The Undying True Light Mirror Technique flowed slowly within Chen Fei's body, and a spark of spiritual light bloomed deep within his soul, clear and bright, illuminating both his inner and outer self. He manipulated the wisp of Heavenly Tide Wood Yuan Qi, gently wrapping it around the dark gray bead held between his right fingertips.
Like water seeping into a dry sponge, the moment the Tianlan Wood Qi came into contact with the surface of the black bead, it seemed to be attracted by something of the same origin, and slowly merged into the tiny cracks of the black bead.
At the same time, Chen Fei separated a wisp of divine thought, as thin as a spider's thread, attached it to the wisp of Tianlan Wood Yuan Qi, and carefully probed into the black bead along these cracks.
Inside the black bead, although the fragments of the rank had been removed, the framework that served as the condensation of the vengeful demon's origin remained. The interior was filled with chaotic, decaying resentment and demonic remnants, as well as the dust of He Qiusheng's remaining life imprint.
These remnants are chaotic and repulsive; if one were to forcibly probe them with divine sense, it could easily cause the collapse of the remaining structures.
The wisp of divine thought attached to the Tianlan Wood's primordial energy became incredibly agile and subtle under the blessing of the Undying True Light Mirror.
It is no longer just a simple exploration, but like the carving knife in the hands of the most skilled micro-sculptor, avoiding those corrosive resentful remnants and finding a way in.
Based on the profound understanding of energy structure and soul imprint of the Immortal True Light Mirror, it began to use its own divine sense as ink to outline and etch extremely small, complex exploration spiritual patterns that were closely connected to Chen Fei's own soul origin within the framework of this demonic bead.
This process requires extremely high precision in controlling the soul. The divine imprint must be perfectly woven into the inherent structure of the black bead without causing the overall collapse of the remaining structure, making it a part of the black bead's structure rather than forcibly embedding it.
At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that this wisp of divine imprint is sufficiently concealed and stable, and can keenly resonate with the fluctuations of external vengeful demons of the same origin.
Fortunately, Chen Fei had already cultivated the Undying True Light Mirror to the Great Perfection Realm, which made his soul strong and impervious to all evil, and also gave him a subtle and perfect control over his own soul power.
This control, as it is manifested at this moment, is the ability to differentiate and manipulate divine thoughts to an extremely subtle degree, completing the exquisitely precise operation of etching spiritual patterns into the origin of the vengeful demon.
Even if other cultivators of the same level had the same amount of spiritual energy, they would hardly have such exquisite control. If they tried to force it, their spiritual energy would either be corrupted and backfired by the resentment, or they would directly burst the fragile source of the black bead.
Time passed slowly, and against the backdrop of absolute darkness and whispering murmurs, Chen Fei was completely absorbed in sculpting the black bead.
The black bead at the fingertip remained gray, but if someone were to observe it carefully with their divine sense, they would discover that at its very core, there seemed to be some extremely faint, cold, and tenacious starlight.
The Vengeful Demon is a being born from the resentment of the ancient fallen, combined with the decaying aura of the ruins and chaotic demonic energy. Its existence is deeply bound to this ruin.
To some extent, they are an integral part of this deathly heaven, a manifestation of the endless resentment and unwillingness of this land.
Therefore, their origin is not an independent and closed system.
Chen Fei could clearly sense that even though He Qiusheng had completely perished, the black bead formed from his origin was still resonating faintly with the boundless dark demonic energy around him and with the ruined land beneath his feet, which was soaked in the blood of immortals and gods and despair, in an extremely subtle and continuous way.
This resonance is like the ripples created by a pebble thrown into stagnant water. It is through this resonance that the vengeful demon can hide in its environment as if it were a fish in water, mobilizing a portion of the power of the ruins.
After several dozen breaths, a barely perceptible golden light flashed across the surface of the black bead. The light was extremely dim, like a tiny grain of gold thrown into thick ink, and was immediately swallowed up by the dark gray color of the black bead itself.
But in Chen Fei's perception, it was crystal clear. It was the sign that the divine spiritual patterns he had etched had completely aligned with the original structure of the black bead and had begun to operate stably.
The core of the spirit rune contains a trace of insight and connection to the true meaning of the Undying True Light Mirror, which has now been successfully grafted into the resonance system between the source of the vengeful demon and the environment.
A mysterious connection was established between Chen Fei's soul and the black bead in his palm. This connection was not about control, but rather more like access to his own sensory network.
Through this connection of divine thought, the environmental resonance information sensed by the black bead will be continuously transmitted back to Chen Fei's sea of consciousness.
With his tense mind relaxing slightly, Chen Fei smiled with a hint of satisfaction. He then flipped his wrist and carefully put the refined black bead into his sleeve.
The moment the black bead entered his sleeve, Chen Fei began to concentrate on sensing it.
Sure enough, a vague yet real image or feeling began to emerge in his mind through that divine connection.
It wasn't a clear image or location coordinates, but rather a mixture of a sense of orientation and presence.
In the almost solidified ocean of dark demonic energy around him, he sensed several relatively dense, active points with similar frequencies.
They are scattered in different directions, at varying distances, like several cold whirlpools in the dark deep sea, radiating waves that are different from other seawater.
Chen Fei opened his eyes. His senses were still very vague. He could only roughly judge the direction and relative distance, as well as the approximate cultivation level. He couldn't see the target's detailed condition, but that was enough.
The terrifying aspect of vengeful spirits in this place, which is their home turf, lies primarily in their concealment and cunning.
They can blend into their environment almost perfectly, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. Combined with illusions that are deceptively realistic and directly target the mind, they can often launch a fatal blow at the most unexpected moment for their opponents.
But now, as long as the vengeful demon exists within a certain range of him, its unique resonance with the environment will be captured by the black bead, amplified, and fed back to him.
This means that the Demon's almost absolute advantage in illusion has vanished before him.
Of course, this does not mean that the vengeful demons have become lambs to the slaughter.
Disabling the opponent's greatest advantage does not equate to having an overwhelming advantage on your side.
The essential power of the vengeful demon—its ability to manipulate demonic energy, incite negative emotions, unleash bizarre supernatural powers, and even engage in close combat—does not disappear simply because it has been discovered in advance.
They remain formidable and dangerous enemies, but now both sides are on equal footing, and who will ultimately defeat whom depends on their respective strengths.
Chen Fei didn't stand still and wait for the dark side of the ruins to pass. Instead, he followed his senses and headed towards the place where he had first encountered Cao Feiyu. Chen Fei felt that one of them was indeed Cao Feiyu herself.
However, Chen Fei's unfamiliarity with the vengeful demon at the time prevented him from immediately determining its authenticity.
For both emotional and logical reasons, he had to go back and investigate, because Cao Feiyu might have left Wei Zhongqian and the others to come back to him because she was worried about his safety.
Although Chen Fei is only at the early stage of the Tai Cang Realm, while Cao Feiyu is at the peak of the middle stage of the Tai Cang Realm, if Cao Feiyu were to encounter real danger, Chen Fei might not be able to defeat her.
However, on the path of spiritual practice, not everything can be measured by absolute rational gain or loss.
Since Cao Feiyu might be in danger because of him, he couldn't just sit idly by. This wasn't out of pedantry, but rather his true feelings.
More importantly, Chen Fei is not blindly returning now.
With the black bead hidden in his sleeve, Chen Fei can assist Cao Feiyu by providing crucial information or creating opportunities when Cao Feiyu is trapped by the illusions of the vengeful demon or entangled with the demon.
Chen Fei suppressed his aura, using the power within his Devouring God Body to minimize the fluctuations in his life force.
Darkness, endless darkness all along the way. Whispers still linger in my ears.
A distance of hundreds of thousands of miles is nothing more than a breath for a cultivator in the Tai Cang Realm in ordinary terrain. But in the shadowy side of this ancient ruin, where demonic energy is as sticky as glue and darkness is as iron, Chen Fei cannot travel at full speed.
He had to be constantly vigilant about any potential dangers around him, using the Undying True Light Mirror to protect his mind and resist the all-pervasive bewitching demonic sounds, while also concealing his physical form and aura to the extreme to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
A moment later, Chen Fei had quietly approached the area he remembered. Before he could actually see anything, a fluctuation came from there.
The first thing that caught my eye was Cao Feiyu's unique yet familiar aura.
His aura carried the sharpness and resilience unique to the Dan Chen Sect's techniques, but at this moment it seemed somewhat unstable, revealing a sense of exhaustion from struggling to maintain his form.
Immediately following were the muffled roars of energy, the clash of weapons, and the explosions of spells.
Chen Fei paused slightly, then quietly leaped onto a relatively high and intact section of broken wall and gazed intently ahead.
