"The pure white mice were the least in number. They did not like to participate in the conflicts among mice. Their favorite thing to do was to crouch in a corner and mumble to themselves.
"Sometimes, when I listened carefully, I discovered that they were reminiscing the days when they were with their wives hundreds of years ago.
"At that time, Yan Xinjian was not the deputy captain of the coalition fleet of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City yet. He was just a young man with extraordinary talents and infinite ambitions. Because he devoted a lot of resources to his training, his situation was not very good. It was only with the encouragement and support of his wife that he managed to climb to the top step by step.
"Every time they reached the end of the story, the pure white mice would shed tears. Sometimes, when they were too sad, they would run to other mice and yell, 'You killed her. You killed my wife!'
"In the end, they would be torn into pieces by other mice, of course. Their remaining souls would turn into a streak of brightness and look for new mice to possess.
"Many times, I even saw the pure white mice dragging some ignorant female mice out of the cages. They hugged each other and mumbled 'Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu', regarding the mice as their 'wives'.
"Those female mice did not have any remaining souls attached to them. They were just the most common animals. They struggled hard, but there was nothing they could do. They only made the other 'clones of Yan Xinjian' burst into laughter.
"The scene made me rather uncomfortable. Finally, one day, I drove away the mice of other colors and prepared some materials to build a small house for the pure white mice. I also set up defense rune arrays around the house. Finally, the mice that represented the shame and regret deep inside Yan Xinjian's heart were in peace for the time being."

Li Yao's training log. Day 356.
"Before I know it, more than a year has passed.
"During the past year, nothing has happened outside. I wonder if Lei Dalu and Bai Kaixin have escaped successfully, and I wonder if the people of the Temple of Immortals have been annihilated below the ground.
"However, no matter which force they are on, they should not be here at all. I don't think they know that I am here.
"Bai Xinghe was the only one who knew the secret of Yan Xinjian's cave. The two Lustful Rock Spiders were infuriated and stirred up trouble outside. Use a large amount of rocks to completely bury the entrance to the secret training room. "
"There is no magical equipment or techniques in the underground fortress. Even if the people of the Temple of Immortals have escaped, there shouldn't be any reason for them to mobilize so many resources. They are here to excavate the underground fortress on a large scale. "
"I can cultivate here without worry."
"In the past year, although my Cultivation is still in the superlative height of the Building Foundation Stage, my combat ability and battle awareness have undergone tremendous changes.
"Based on my judgment, it's at least 1% higher than a year ago!"
"Every day, I devour the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that Yan Xinjian left behind with the Art of the Swallowing Whale and perform marvelous modifications on my body.
"All the divine abilities that Yan Xinjian left behind. Other than the ones that can only be cultivated by those above the Core Bearing Stage, I've also studied most of them. Putting them together with the techniques that I've already mastered, I've gained a lot of inspiration. "
"Perhaps by this time next year, I'll have formed my Gold Core!"
…
Li Yao's training log, day 577.
"Today, Yan Xinjian's' clones' had a 'war' of a large scale."
"In fact, the war had been going on for a few days already. There had been signs a few days ago. The mice had collected abundant food and crystals, which were abnormal. They had also sharpened countless "flying swords" that looked like needles and reinforced their "castles". Even the red mice, which had always been irascible, quieted down.
"However, my training had reached a critical moment, too. I had no time to pay attention to the mice.
"By the time I discovered it, the war of the mice had already broken out. The red mice seemed determined to annihilate all the clones of the mice of other colors.
"As a result of the 'war', not only have the parties left almost a thousand dead bodies, even hundreds of Yan Xinjian's remaining souls have been dispersed. The remaining souls are all lackluster and flickering like candles that are about to burn out."
"I even saw that part of Yan Xinjian's remaining soul tried to possess a mouse. After crawling into the mouse's ear, it flew out again in less than half a minute, but it was even more lackluster than before.
"Yan Xinjian's remaining soul is already so feeble that he might not even succeed in possessing a mouse."
"I suddenly realized the reason why the war broke out.
"Yan Xinjian's doom has come.
"His remaining soul couldn't have been more feeble. In less than a year, it will perish completely.

Li Yao's training log, day 701.
"Agitated. Agitated. I'm very agitated!
"My capability has already reached such a level!
"I can punch a thousand times in one minute in an environment of fifty times the gravity. The wind of every punch can unleash the strength of thousands of kilograms even if it is three meters away. With a telepathic thought, the thousands of kilograms of strength can be condensed into a point the size of a fingertip!
"I can survive for dozens of seconds in a temperature of almost a thousand degrees naked. Even if the temperature is instantly changed to minus two hundred degrees, I will still be fearless and maintain 3% of my combat ability!
"In the ancient training classics, it was said that the high-level Cultivators were 'unafraid of fire and water'. They must be as good as I am right now!
"Why can't I grasp the opportunity to enter the Core Formation Stage?
…
Li Yao's training log, day 733.
"The blood-red mice are finally all extinct. The ambitious side of Yan Xinjian is completely dead now," Li Yao said.
"There are only a few mice of other colors left, too. There is only one mouse that emits pure white light."
"For some reason, as Yan Xinjian's remaining soul is fading away one after another, I am more and more desperate, too. I don't dare imagine what will happen when all the remaining souls are gone.
"Maybe, deep down, I still consider his remaining soul to be a living person, no matter how sordid and evil he is.
"After the 'person' dies, I will be the only one left in this place.
"Can I really enter the Core Formation Stage successfully? Can I really get out of this place?
"Today, I asked myself in front of the mirror.
"Something strange is happening!"
"The me in the mirror looked like a different person. 'His' left eye was emitting weird redness. With a mysterious smile on his face, he nodded affirmatively.
"I was greatly shocked. I shook my head hard. When I was completely awake, I looked at the mirror again, only to discover that …
"There was no mirror.
"I was just talking to myself while facing the wall."
…
Li Yao's training log, day 809.
"I feel that I am caught in a weird swirl.
"My strength has been expanding all the time, but my corresponding level has not improved at all.
"A lot of the time, I vaguely feel that my brain is not enough to control every part of my body, and I often perform some offensive actions subconsciously. I'm like a tyrannosaurus with a brain the size of a peanut that is completely driven by the desire to kill.
"Is this mental derangement?
"I've read a lot of classics. Some of them are left by Yan Xinjian, and some are from the ancient classics in the Heavenly Refining Tower deep inside my brain, searching for the symptoms of mental derangement before breaking into a new level.
"I've discovered that the anomalies in my body are different from those of the traditional mental derangement.
"In any case, I can't train like this anymore. Something bad will happen if I go on like this.
"After thinking for a long time, I've decided to stop training from today on!
"After all, my combat ability is dozens of times higher than that of common Cultivators at the peak of the Building Foundation Stage. Since they can enter the Core Formation Stage, the obstacle that prevents me from entering the Core Formation Stage shouldn't be my body.
"Of course, I will not waste my time in the underground world. Don't forget that I am a hybrid-type Cultivator. Other than my talents in fighting, I am also gifted in creation!
"I stopped worrying about the Core Formation Stage. Instead, I took out the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, the Dragon King Battlesuit, and the Unparalleled Extension and studied how to combine the two Super Crystal Suit with the most advanced Ares Extension of the Flying Star Sector.
"There are a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in Yan Xinjian's residence that cannot be consumed. It will be a waste to keep them underground.
"I plan to combine the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with the key components of the two Super Crystal Suit and craft the best Crystal Suit of the Flying Star Sector, the Heaven's Origin Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector.
"Then, with the Crystal Suit as the foundation, I will complete the Unparalleled Extension that belongs to me!
"Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Dragon King Battlesuit, unparalleled in the sea of stars.

Li Yao's training log, day one thousand.
"What a pleasant surprise!
"Since more than half a year ago, when I sensed the uncontrollable desire for slaughter deep inside my heart, I have temporarily abandoned the pursuit of absolute strength and focused on polishing my mind by crafting the Crystal Suit.
"The integration of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and the Dragon King Battlesuit went very smoothly. Also, during the arduous work of designing and refining day after day, the cleansing and improvement of my mind became more and more obvious.
"As it turned out, late last night, when I finished the design of a key valve of the Super Strengthened Crystal Reactor, I suddenly felt that my entire spine was itching and numb. My limbs and bones seemed to have turned into countless dragons that were flooding into my spine and rushing to the end of my spine!
"The end of my spine was gradually generating the urge to 'expand'.
"I knew it. The evolution had begun!
"My 'second brain' was awakening, developing, and about to take shape!
"When the ancient people tried to break into a new level, they often paid attention to 'luck' and 'whim'. In fact, it was just the birth of new organs in their heart and the new connection with the spiritual energy in the universe.
"This is exactly my luck!
