Sea of Suffering, Rotting Thought Layer...

At the end of the Sword Village is a place of convergence, with the Heart Demon Sword Prison, already empty, on the left, and the Sword Dao River, already dried up, on the right.

In this darkness lies the fusion entity of the "Thousand Throat Sword Mother" and "Jalayosa".

It continuously attracts powerful sword cultivators here, using sword hearts that are either honed through hardship, arrogant and domineering, cold and ruthless, or filled with uprightness and worldly affections as its nourishment.

When Song Yan returned here, Hua Linglong, or rather the Celestial Venerable, was already gone.

She naturally had her plans, and it was unclear what she was up to at this moment.

Song Yan raised his hand to dispel the dark mist, looking at the metal pillar engraved with numerous human faces.

The faces were still struggling, enduring thousands, ten thousands, and even millions of years, yet never extinguished.

Song Yan sighed inwardly: 'In this Cultivation Realm, truly countless talented figures of the ages fall into my hands... either possession or refinement.

The quiet places of the world exist only in the delusions of the human mind.

One thinks the emperor just and selfless when not seen; one hopes the gods save and relieve suffering when not seen. It's all nothing but wishful thinking in the end.'

He smiled faintly, then fixed his gaze on Jalayosa, spitting out a white mist from Meng Po that could wash away the refining marks, which quickly enveloped the entire metal pillar.

His eyes were very calm, looking at the metal pillar with a scrutinizing attitude.

His real purpose was not to wash away the refining marks on Jalayosa, because... if the Master of Heaven and Earth were truly powerless to this extent, then it would be more than merely washing away refining marks.

With the existence of the Celestial Demon Great Yang Capital, plus washing away the bottom card's refining marks, he could face the Master of Heaven and Earth head-on, and extract all the secrets known to the Master of Heaven and Earth, then think about how to digest the Master of Heaven and Earth.

If you don't take a life when they're weak, are you waiting for them to recover, then see if they're in a good mood to deal with me?

As the refinement progressed, the outermost human faces of "Jalayosa" began to peel away.

They broke free as if from hell, turning into white ghostly souls, and their causes and effects quickly dissipated. Upon seeing the young man spewing white mist across, they either flew over to clasp their hands in salute or bowed from afar, then left relieved.

Yet the deeper layers of human faces in "Jalayosa" were exceedingly difficult to emerge, like snails struggling in mud, requiring celestial lengths to discern any progress.

Song Yan cautiously observed his surroundings.

About half an hour later, he felt the atmosphere becoming peculiar around him.

A slightly cracked, towering Divine Soul abruptly appeared in front of "Jalayosa".

That Divine Soul's eyes were cold, distantly watching Song Yan, who was spewing white mist.

Song Yan immediately recognized this aura as no different from the Ice Crystal Flood Dragon from days ago, unquestionably the Master of Heaven and Earth.

He temporarily withdrew the mist, clasped his hands from afar, and said, "Master here, you've arrived just in time. I discovered an evil entity here, destroying it, why not lend me a hand?"

The Master of Heaven and Earth coldly looked at him, saying, "Meng Po Toad acquired true form from illusion? A demon like you, calling Jalayosa an evil entity?"

Song Yan lightly replied, "At least, I couldn't do such a thing."

The Master of Heaven and Earth said, "If you grow, you will become like me one day. I merely did what was necessary."

"Ha..."

"Hahaha..."

After laughing, Song Yan continued, "No one knows what the future holds. You explaining so much to me shows you're really not doing well."

The Master of Heaven and Earth laughed heartily, his oppressive Divine Soul slightly leaning forward, looking down at the young man opposite with a condescending posture, saying, "It's merely a fondness for talent."

He extended his hand, saying, "Well, seeing you like this, it seems you're not inclined to join my Divine List. That's fine too. Born of my heaven and earth, from now on I shall consider you as kin. Come with me."

Song Yan fixed his gaze on the Master of Heaven and Earth.

In his eyes, this Master of Heaven and Earth was no longer a lofty, untouchable deity, but an equal entity, a life.

"Ha, don't look at me like this now, I still have my means, it's just that my world has taken many years to produce a real prodigy like you, I don't want to miss it." The Master of Heaven and Earth spoke warmly.

Song Yan slowly said, "I heard, the upper beam not straight means the lower beam is crooked, I didn't think much of it before. But now it seems, the reason for this world's refinements is all due to having you as its master."

"Oh?" The Master of Heaven and Earth smiled, saying, "Then what? I thought you would understand, after all, you've wielded Changwang's Evil Treasure.

That treasure was refined with the Changwang Tiger Race.

This Jalayosa, too, was refined with ancient sword cultivators.

Both are hardly different, why belittle one and not the other?"

Song Yan said, "You're wrong, I did not belittle the method, it's just you are hard to trust."

With that, he asked, "Do you remember Tang Yanzhang?"

The Master of Heaven and Earth laughed, saying, "A mere ant, why keep it in mind? Even mundane emperors achieve success over countless bones, let alone you and me?"

Immediately, he showed surprise, saying, "You want to avenge him?"

Song Yan also laughed.

He laughed, shaking his head, saying, "Of course not."

The Master of Heaven and Earth asked, "Then why mention him?"

Song Yan laughed, saying, "I just wanted to see to what extent you could endure."

As these words fell, the air suddenly turned cold.
