Wang Daoyuan let out a sigh of relief. Golden core cultivators with minor abilities were indeed strong.
The first time he fought against a minor ability, he almost lost his life.
This demon had a minor ability that could be refined into a doppelganger.
Using the doppelganger's panoramic perception, he could comprehend the laws.
Although he couldn't directly comprehend the doppelganger's minor ability, it was still very beneficial for him to comprehend it.
The doppelganger soul-nurturing technique worked on all life forms with souls, and demons were naturally no exception.
It was just that he knew too little about demons. It was hard to say which branch this guy belonged to.
If he was of the yin demon branch, his soul might be stronger than his.
If he had some sort of soul secret technique, he wouldn't be his opponent at all.
Before refining into a doppelganger, it was best to exhaust his spiritual sense first.
Controlling the Gui Water Hellflame, he entered his sea of consciousness.
Through the Gui Water Hellflame, Wang Daoyuan saw what a demon's sea of consciousness looked like.
It was pitch black all around, and there was no purple palace.
In the center was a huge true demon phantom, a bit like the purple palace of a human cultivator.
The true demon phantom held a transparent energy shield in its hands, with a black human figure inside.
This should be the demon's soul, or demon soul.
Wang Daoyuan controlled the Gui Water Hellflame to burn the transparent energy shield.
The demon soul urged its spiritual sense to resist, but it was quickly burned by the Gui Water Hellflame.
Then, something similar to spiritual power poured into the sea of consciousness, blocking the Gui Water Hellflame.
This should be the spiritual power cultivated by demons. It was very different from the spiritual power of humans and demons.
Even for demon cultivators, their spiritual power was between righteous cultivators and demons, but closer to righteous human cultivators.
He learned from his master that the five elements of human spiritual power didn't have much effect on demon spiritual power.
But yin and yang were very effective against demon spiritual power.
There was also the power of heaven's might and divine beasts, which had some restraining effect on demons.
This was also an important reason why the Five Elements Demon Subduing Seal could restrain demons and demon cultivators.
The Gui Water Death Flame didn't have much use for the Demon Race's spiritual power, but the Scarlet Yang True Fire from before restrained the Demon Race's spiritual power. This Demon Race might be a Yin Demon.
The True Fire of the Scarlet Sun contained Pure Yang Qi, and it was related to the Divine Beast Golden Crow. It was natural that it could restrain the Demon Clan's spiritual power.
He then followed the passage opened by the Gui Water Death Flame and continuously poured the Scarlet Yang True Fire into the demon's sea of consciousness.
When the Devil Clan's spiritual power saw the Scarlet Yang Real Fire, it quickly dissipated.
After the dissipation of the demon spirit power, part of it was refined by the Gui Water Death Flame.
It seemed that this demon cultivator really was a yin demon.
After half a quarter of an hour, this guy's spiritual power was exhausted, and the Gui Water Death Flame burned towards his devil soul.
The huge True Demon phantom moved and waved its hand to disperse the flames.
Wang Daoyuan activated the Five Elements Devil Subduing Seal. The Vermilion Bird Fan and the Black Tortoise Shield appeared in their true forms and forcefully entered the demon cultivator's sea of consciousness.
The two mythological beasts, the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise, charged toward the true demon projection.
The true demon projection was extremely powerful, and the Vermilion Bird Fan and the Black Tortoise Shield were only of the third grade. Their true forms were not strong enough.
Wang Daoyuan infused divine charm into them and used his Purple Palace Resonance.
Two against one, they managed to suppress the true demon projection.
The Gui Water Death Flame burned towards the demon soul, and it quickly lost the ability to resist.
To be safe, he decided to use the Soul Severing Blade to test the waters.
The Soul Severing Blade slashed, and the demon soul was indeed injured.
Then, Wang Daoyuan condensed the Soul Severing Blade and slashed at the demon soul's forehead.
He did not take out the soul fragment in the Soul Nurturing Pendant, but the soul fragment of Tu Youming's clone.
The soul fragment in the Soul Nurturing Pendant was left behind by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It was unlikely that it would succeed in controlling a Golden Core clone.
It was more reliable to fuse a soul fragment that had been nurtured by the Purple Palace Avatar.
After the soul fragment was fused, Wang Daoyuan did not let down his guard.
He called out Cui Ming from the formation, took the Earth Essence, and had him stand guard above.
As for the demon clone, he continued to use the Five Elements Devil Subduing Seal to suppress it.
After the soul fragment was fully controlled, it would be stored in the Spirit Pearl.
After Cui Ming explored the tunnel above, he didn't find any traces of other demons.
Two days later, the soul fragment successfully controlled the clone.
From the demon's memories, he learned that this demon was called Devouring Soul, a Soul Devouring Demon of the Yin Demons.
Soul Devouring Demons' main method was to attack the soul. By devouring the opponent's soul, they could increase their own strength.
What interested Wang Daoyuan was that this demon's memories contained a secret technique of the Soul Devouring Demon lineage — the Soul Devouring Technique.
This secret technique could devour souls and increase the strength of one's own soul.
At the same time, it could also repair the damage to one's own soul. It was useful even for Golden Core cultivators.
This Soul Devouring Technique was very similar to the Doppelganger Soul Nurturing Technique. The guy who created the Doppelganger Soul Nurturing Technique most likely used the Soul Devouring Technique as a reference.
With the Soul Devouring Technique as a reference, it was possible to make up for the Doppelganger Soul Nurturing Technique's flaw of not being able to recover the soul.
Through Devouring Soul's memories, he also understood some of the fiend race's situation.
These fiend race remnants were all the remnant soldiers and defeated generals left behind when the fiend race invaded back then. They hid in the Absolute Heaven Abyss and borrowed the black gas to deceive that group of human major powers.
These few years, although the fiend race multiplied quite a bit, they also did not dare to show their faces at will.
The array formation on the shore of the Absolute Heaven Abyss had extremely strong killing effects on the fiend race.
The majority of the fiends hiding in the Absolute Heaven Abyss were unable to go ashore at all and could only struggle to survive below.
The fiends of the Fiend Resisting Mountain were all powerhouses who escaped from the Absolute Heaven Abyss back then.
However, their days were not easy either.
The Divine Weapon Pavilion and Taiyi Sword Sect's people frequently came to take care of them.
Fiendish cultivators would also hunt fiends and use them to cultivate fiendish cultivation methods.
This Fiend Resisting Mountain was still fiendish cultivators' territory. The fiend race was still lacking.
And Devouring Soul's parents both escaped from the Absolute Heaven Abyss. But they were already dead. He did not have any backing.
Coming to hunt down Wang Daoyuan this time, he also came alone.
With this, Wang Daoyuan set his mind at ease. At least, his whereabouts were not exposed.
Devouring Soul's divine ability was still very powerful. It contained penetrating and devouring souls, two kinds of laws.
His penetrating law was not like metal-attribute's penetrating defense. Instead, it bypassed objects at an extremely fast speed.
This law had a bit of the taste of spatial law. No wonder it could ambush him under the suppression of the Five Elements Devil Subduing Seal.
Fortunately, this penetrating law was only useful on rocks and other solid bodies. It was ineffective against spiritual fire.
This was also the reason why that skeleton previously was restrained by spiritual fire.
Withdrawing the Five Elements Devil Subduing Seal, and putting the clone Devouring Soul back into the spiritual bead's space.
Just now, Cui Ming already probed the situation inside the array formation. There were no problems inside.
This array formation was still intact and had not been exposed for several thousand years. It was considered a rare safe place.
Now that his whereabouts were not exposed, he could refine the Kirin Seal here.
With the five lifebound magic artifacts complete, his strength could also improve by a lot. He should be able to defeat the average late-stage Golden Core, as well as middle-stage Golden Core with minor divine abilities.
He could go to the Heavenly Slash Mountain Range and explore the situation of the spiritual bead's birthplace.
Wang Daoyuan entered the stone room where the Earth Essence was born and prepared to refine the Kirin Seal.
The Kirin Seal was the core of the Five Elements Devil Subduing Seal. Other than its own functions, it also needed to be connected with the tool patterns of the other four magic artifacts. The tool patterns were the most complicated.
Moreover, it used fourth-grade materials and was the most difficult to refine.
However, Wang Daoyuan was already a Golden Core cultivator.
The Five Elements Spiritual Fire in his body had also become a fourth-grade inferior-grade. Refining fourth-grade materials was not a problem.
He drew out the Dust Returning Flame and began to refine the Heaven Suppressing Stone.
He had obtained the Heaven Suppressing Stone three times in a row. It was more than enough to refine a Kirin Seal.
He took out the fist-sized Heaven Suppressing Stone that his master had given him. After softening it with the Dust Returning Flame, he forged it into the shape of the Kirin Seal.
Currently, the Kirin Seal was only four inches square.
After that, he used the Dust Returning Flame to refine the Earth Essence.
He fused the melted Earth Essence into the Kirin Seal.
After the Kirin Seal absorbed the Earth Essence, it gradually grew in size and eventually grew to six inches square.
After forging it into shape, the next step was to store it in his body and use his divine sense to condense the tool pattern.
After spending more than a year, he finally finished condensing the Kirin Seal's tool pattern.
With the five lifebound magic artifacts, the Five Elements Devil Subduing Seal was finally complete.
