Song Yan shook his head slightly, just feeling that the "Innate Divine Soul Inheritance" of the Formless Ancient Race must contain significant secrets.

Suddenly, his mind stirred again, and another thought emerged.

In the past, his Techniques could mutate entirely relying on the "Ghost Profound Root".

But now he has the "Earth Profound Root".

He lost the "Ghost Mutation" of the "Ghost Profound Root", but now possesses a terrifying Divine Soul, so... could he perhaps further deduce it?

With a slight contemplation, Song Yan privately analyzed in his heart: 'If in the past, Techniques like the "Silver Stream Sword Technique" took several decades for the first mutation, then I'll just try using a hundred years.'

After a moment...

Panel changes:

[Name: Song Yan]

[Longevity: 141/8633]

[Technique]"Silver Stream Sword Technique Secret Skill - Shallow Stream Concealed Flood Dragon" (Perfection) (First Successful Deduction)

An unprecedented change appeared on Song Yan's panel.

The "First Mutation" became the "First Successful Deduction", while the longevity consumed was merely 6 years.

He carefully perceived, and after a moment, suddenly understood the difference between now and the past.

If the "Ghost Profound Root" was a mutation, it was like building a tall building on the original Techniques, making this building progress towards "Devouring" and "Illusion Technique", thereby becoming a more aggressive Technique;

Then a powerful Divine Soul is deducing upon the original Techniques, not abandoning the original Techniques, but making further progress. In layman's terms, it's a bit like the "Thirteen Life-taking Swords" from a story Song Yan read before transmigration, deducing a Fourteenth Sword and Fifteenth Sword.

The former turns into a new Technique, while the latter... is a deep excavation on the existing Technique.

As for other "functions", they still need to be unearthed.

Which of the two is superior?

Song Yan couldn't say, but the latter is obviously more suited to be "Sect Inheritance".

Because the powerful Cultivation Techniques comprehended from the former, others simply couldn't learn.

For instance, that "Hundred Forms Demon Body", or the "Paper-cut Celestial Palace", could others learn?

But the latter is step-by-step, at least giving people hope.

However...

Song Yan was never one to enjoy making choices.

He decided to find an Evil Land after the "Hidden Dragon Association".

Zhang Han knows how to use the Soul-Locking Array and the method to transform the "Ghost Profound Root", there's no reason not to try, no reason... not to "have the best of both worlds".

But all these must be discussed after he enters the Ancient Teleportation Array.

While pondering about the "Hidden Dragon Association", he spread his Divine Sense.

Only a Crimson Palace Realm expert can use the Profound Qi for Divine Sense probing, yet now he can use it effortlessly. Not only that, but he is also in a state where he can probe others, but others cannot probe him.

Why? Because his Divine Soul Power is too strong, it's an overwhelming strength.

How could others possibly detect him?

Because of this, he could easily perceive Elder Ma, while Elder Ma didn't know he had arrived until he physically saw him.

'This Hidden Dragon Association cannot afford any failure, I must leave here promptly, absolutely without any fluke mindset.'

'Time is running out.'

...

...

Shua!

Shuashua!

Shuashuashuashua!!

Many eyes opened simultaneously, opening eyes were all cultivators. Most of these cultivators were in a Cave Mansion, currently staring into the darkness, receiving the same information and then each providing feedback.

How was this possible?

Simply because they all bore a "My Thought" Purple Mansion avatar.

That one "My Thought" typically suppresses their own Divine Souls, and influences their thoughts, now no one knows how long it's been, these people have long since become slaves of that Purple Mansion Lord.

They work for that Purple Mansion Lord, at critical moments, they can even be possessed by that Purple Mansion Lord... but it's purely body control, unable to inherit a single extra power.

Admittedly, such means indeed require some effort, but apparently, that Purple Mansion Lord does not care about this investment. Simply because there is something extremely precious to him on this land, and he... is strong enough.

These Purple Mansion slaves reported on the situation there one after another.

On the other side of the darkness, that Purple Mansion figure silently listened.

After a long while... all the slaves heard a sentence.

"I will need some more time to arrive, I fear I will not make it in time.

You... remember the names of all the winners of the Hidden Dragon Association, find a way to get close, and plant a soul-chasing worm in each of them.

That soul-chasing worm is bestowed by me, imperceptible below the Purple Mansion.

Even above the Purple Mansion... unless it's on oneself.

Of course, if you can build friendships with any of them, leave means of contact, ascertain their whereabouts, that would be best.

If someone strongly dislikes your approach, note their name.

If anyone achieves something, I will record your great merits, and there will certainly be heavy rewards afterward."

The voice on the other side of the darkness flickered away...

Immediately after, the owner of the voice picked out a few slaves, letting them take the token and head to an Elder's residence in their respective sect. Once the door opened, the slaves presented the token, and the Elder hurriedly welcomed them in.

No one knew... the real identity of these Elders was that of a Vengeful Ghost.

That mysterious Late Stage Purple Mansion powerhouse collected numerous Crimson Palace Realm Vengeful Ghosts, letting these ghosts possess Refining Profound, then cultivate step by step, returning to the Crimson Palace Realm, and successfully infiltrated into the high ranks of the Southern Land's "Five Great Sects".

Although there were mutual spies between the Mountain and Sea Demon Race and Ancient Race, the means of this one were particularly ruthless.
