This kind of nourishment was not normal. Every time the demonic energy fused with the heart, it meant that the heart would become stronger, but the demonic energy in the body would completely disappear. Therefore, while the heart was being nourished, the demonic energy in Di Shitian's body was constantly decreasing. Fortunately, at the same time, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was also flowing into his body through his meridians and countless pores. Following the circulation of his cultivation method, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was converted into demonic energy. This caused the demonic energy to increase with every passing moment.
Unfortunately, the increase in demonic energy could not be compared to the consumption of demonic energy. As time passed, the demonic energy gradually decreased. The demonic energy that originally filled every inch of his meridians decreased under this situation, causing his strength to slowly fall from the peak of the third layer. However, Di Shitian did not feel the slightest bit of heartache about this.
This demonic energy was not going to disappear for nothing. It was used to strengthen the heart, and the heart was where the Demon Abode was located. The stronger it was, the more useful it would be when the Demon Abode was opened. It would be able to withstand the explosive power when the time came. Therefore, the more demonic energy his heart could absorb, the happier he would be.
He was not afraid that it could fuse demonic energy, but he was afraid that it could not.
After all, every part of the body had its limits. The heart had its limits as well. When it was strengthened to a certain extent, to its current limit, it would no longer be able to fuse demonic energy. At that time, it would be the time to open the Demon Abode.
"Mm!! I can't let my demonic energy reach its peak state. Without peak strength, when opening the Demon Abode, it will definitely not be enough. "
After Di Shitian felt that the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from the outside could not balance out the consumption of demonic energy, he secretly pondered in his heart. Refining the heart was one thing, but if his demonic energy did not reach its peak, when the time came to open the Demon Abode, when his demonic energy suddenly ran out at the crucial moment, the result would be a failure in opening the Demon Abode, or the Demon Abode's grade would be low.
With this thought in mind, he did not continue refining the heart. Instead, he temporarily stopped, opened his storage bag, and took out the Essence Gathering Pills and the bamboo tube filled with Spirit Wine. He poured out ten Spirit Gathering Pills from the jade bottle. When he looked at the bottle again, there weren't many left, only about twenty to thirty pills.
The tiger stared at the Spirit Gathering Pills for a while before its gaze became firm. It opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing all ten Spirit Gathering Pills at the same time. At the same time, it opened the bamboo tube and drank all of the spirit wine inside in one go. After doing all that, he didn't stop there. After thinking for a moment, he opened his storage pouch. Following which, a faint layer of jade light appeared in the cave.
Along with the light, a huge jade embryo appeared in front of Sakra. The jade embryo was at least eight feet long. After taking it out, he directly placed it under his body and laid down on top of the jade embryo.
The jade embryo was too miraculous. Moreover, there was a mysterious connection between them. A thought flashed through his mind. If the jade embryo was by his side, would it be able to lend a hand when he was establishing the Demon Abode? Only then did he take it out.
Lying on top of the jade embryo, his two tiger eyes slowly closed. Within his body, the power of the Spirit Gathering Pills and the Monkey Spirit Wine completely exploded. Waves of heat continuously surged out from his body. Wave after wave, it was like an angry sea, constantly rushing to every part of his body.
"Hmph!! If it was in the past, I might not be able to control such a large amount of medicinal power and explode to death. But now, I'm at the peak of a demon, and my physical body is getting stronger every day. You guys better behave yourselves in my body. Seal!! "
Di Shitian felt the enormous power of the Spirit Gathering Pills and Spirit Wine explode at the same time. His heart tightened, but he did not panic because of this. Very calmly, he controlled his Demon Qi, weaving it from all directions into a huge and dense net, directly trapping this sudden explosion of power.
"Boom boom boom!!"
The medicinal power was abnormally violent, roaring as it unceasingly attacked the net of Demon Qi, wanting to break the net's shackles. However, at this moment, the Demon Qi within Di Shitian's body was already extremely condensed. Moreover, under his control, there was an endless stream of Demon Qi supporting him from behind. The Demon Qi net was extremely tough, and no matter how strong the impact was, it was unable to break the net. Instead, the Demon Qi net quickly contracted, sealing that enormous power in one fell swoop within his abdomen.
Only a small opening was left to slowly release the sealed power to control the quantity of the Demonic Qi.
It was just enough to allow the medicinal power that emerged to be equal to the Demon Qi he used to temper his heart. In this way, in addition to absorbing the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth from the outside, he could still maintain his Demon Qi at its peak state during tempering.
For a moment.
The cave was incomparably silent. The dense black fog completely covered the entire surrounding area. Above the demon fog, there was a Spirit Qi vortex, and below him, there was a sparkling jade light.
Time slowly passed by in this silence.
Tempering the heart was a long process. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
During these three days, the Southern Barbaric Mountain Range could be considered to have become completely bustling.
When the news of the Li Clan's Psychic Compass being lost spread out, it immediately caused many loose cultivators or small clans to rush towards the Southern Barbaric Mountain Range together. In the beginning, these loose cultivators didn't directly enter the mountain range, and only searched in the areas outside the mountain range. After all, the rumors only said that the compass was on a Spirit Beast.
The first place where the compass was lost was in the Tiger Hill Mountain Range. Therefore, the smart ones all followed the route from Tiger Hill to the Southern Barbaric Mountain Range, searching for that legendary Spirit Beast. If the loose cultivators gathered together, their numbers would also be a rather large group. After searching together and not finding anything, they finally confirmed that their target was in the Southern Barbaric Mountain Range.
However, confirmation was confirmation. There really weren't many who truly dared to enter the mountain range.
The Southern Barbaric Mountain Range wasn't an ordinary mountain range. There were layers of dangers inside, such as miasma, swamps, various monsters, and poisonous creatures. All of these were existences that could pose an enormous threat to cultivators. Moreover, there were even Demon Beasts within the mountain range. Demon Beasts were existences that already possessed intelligence close to that of ordinary people. Every single one of them was equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and when they went berserk, they could pose a certain threat to Core Formation cultivators.
Currently, most of the people that came were loose cultivators. Those that were able to reach Foundation Establishment were practically as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Most of them were hovering around the Qi Condensation stage, and the profound ones were only at the late stage of the Qi Condensation stage. The ordinary ones were only at the third or fourth level of the Qi Condensation stage, and only at the sixth or seventh level of the Qi Condensation stage. With this kind of cultivation, the Southern Barbaric Mountain Range was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous area for them.
As time passed, more and more people gathered. Although the mountain range was dangerous, entering was absolutely a matter of necessity.
"Senior Martial Brother Zhong, if you want me to agree to your marriage and become your Dual Companion, then you must help me capture that Black Tiger I want as a betrothal gift. Otherwise, we can only be fated to be together."
On a mountain peak near the Southern Barbaric Mountain Range, a young man with a slender figure, snow-white clothes, and a strange ancient sword on his back silently stood at the peak of the mountain. His entire being was handsome to the point of being devilish, as if he was about to fly with the wind, and he was as light as an immortal. Shockingly, beside him was a peerlessly beautiful young woman in a blue palace dress. This young woman was extremely familiar. She was none other than the little princess of the Chu Kingdom, Chu Yun.
The young man was Zhong Yunfei. One of them was extraordinarily handsome, while the other had a peerlessly beautiful appearance. When they stood together, they were truly like an immortal couple.
However, their expressions obviously weren't. Chu Yun was quick-witted and eccentric, and her entire body was filled with crafty ideas. As she spoke, traces of a crafty light occasionally flashed within her eyes as she spoke to Zhong Yunfei.
When Zhong Yunfei heard this, he turned his head to look at Chu Yun, and his eyes revealed a trace of tenderness.
"Junior Sister Yun, even though the marriage between us was decided by my Master and Uncle Chu, I, Zhong Yunfei, won't force you. If you want the black tiger as a betrothal gift, I'll agree to it as well. I, Zhong Yunfei, have always kept my promises, and I'll definitely do what I've promised. If I'm unable to do it, then I'll never mention marriage again in my entire life. "
Every single word of Zhong Yunfei carried a firm aura, and coupled with the righteous aura he emitted, it caused others to firmly believe what he said without the slightest doubt.
There really was a story behind why they'd come here.
The reason was that Zhong Yunfei's Master had once saved Chu Tianxing's life. The relationship between them was extremely deep, and every once in a while, they'd exchange letters.
And this time, Zhong Yunfei had left the mountain to go to the Chu Clan, and he even had a letter with him. What was written in the letter, Zhong Yunfei didn't know at first, and only when he arrived at the Chu Clan did he find out that his Master was actually proposing marriage for him. He wanted to matchmake him and Chu Yun's marriage so that the two of them could become Dao companions.
Chu Tianxing had also seen Zhong Yunfei with his own eyes, so he had some understanding of his aptitude and reputation. He was a person who could achieve great things and had the opportunity to pry into profound realms. Coupled with the fact that Chu Tianxing had saved his life back then, he made the decision on the spot and agreed.
But even though he agreed, Chu Yun wasn't willing to agree so easily. She said that her Dao companion had to be a dragon among men, and he had to be able to fulfill one of her requests.
Obviously, her request was none other than for Zhong Yunfei to capture the black tiger she'd seen before and give it to her as a betrothal gift. Only then could she agree. Moreover, during this process, she couldn't borrow the strength of others. She had to personally capture it for it to count.
Thus, the two of them rushed to the Southern Barbaric Mountain Range.
"Plop!" "Plop!"
In the cave in the Myriad Demon Valley, the sound of a strong and powerful heartbeat broke the silence in the cave. A rhythmic sound rang out.
"Good, I've finally completed the first step."
Di Shitian let out a long breath in his heart. In his body, his heart rose and fell rhythmically. Every time it rose and fell, it made a beating sound that was so strong that it directly passed through his body and spread outside. Demonic power could no longer be fused into his heart. The strength of his heart had already reached the limit that it could reach now. It had been tempered to an extremely powerful state.
This also meant that the first step of establishing the Demon Residence had been completely completed.
[He's about to establish the Demon Residence. What will happen during the establishment of the Demon Residence? Brothers, hurry up and throw your votes.]
