In the Stealing Heaven Tripod Space, Kong's figure appeared stealthily at an unknown moment.

He sat cross-legged on the White Jade Lotus Platform, eyes closed and focused, resembling an old monk deep in meditation.

All around the void, Desire Power flowed in small streams, gathering from all directions, gradually forming a multicolored river, like a rainbow descending from the heavens to the mortal world, finally merging into the altar beneath the Lotus Platform.

Yuan Ming stood in the void, sensing this powerful fluctuation of Desire Power, far surpassing that which ordinary believers could generate.

His gaze lingered on Kong for a moment, then turned towards Xi Ying.

Xi Ying had already awakened, quietly watching Kong casting his spells.

The fluctuations of her Divine Soul were gradually stabilizing, and her aura had returned to a peaceful state.

"Are you alright?" Yuan Ming asked, his face lighting up with joy but still somewhat cautious.

"Senior Kong assisted me, helping to repair the damage to my Divine Soul. After some period of Breathing Control, there's no longer anything to worry about," Xi Ying said with a slight smile.

"The backlash of the Great Wish of All Living Beings is too intense, even surpassing your Causality Decree to some extent. Such a power that harms both oneself and others should be used sparingly in the future," Yuan Ming nodded, speaking with a heavy expression.

"I understand what you mean. However, the Great Wish of All Living Beings does not always result in such a strong backlash," Xi Ying nodded gently.

"What do you mean by that?" Yuan Ming asked, puzzled by her words.

Xi Ying's gaze fell on the center of Yuan Ming's forehead, she suddenly raised her hand and pointed in the air, uttering in a grand voice: "May the soul-devouring bugs here be scattered and vanish!"

As her voice fell, the Desire Power in the Stealing Heaven Tripod Space erupted as if ignited, an invisible and intangible force quietly permeated into Yuan Ming's Sea of Consciousness, enveloping the Heavenly Silkworm Egg.

The egg, previously on the verge of death from the attack of the Great Wish of All Living Beings, was thoroughly crushed by this second assault.

Xi Ying stopped the Great Wish of All Living Beings, her complexion slightly pale, but she quickly returned to normal.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming was shocked and hurriedly sensed Xi Ying's aura, finding that she did not have the severe Divine Soul damage as before, and he finally felt at ease.

Recalling the earlier situation, he spoke with some understanding: "When casting the Great Wish of All Living Beings, the easier the wish is to fulfill, the smaller the price to pay?"

"Indeed. Like just then, destroying a weak bug required almost no cost," Xi Ying nodded and said.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming couldn't help but develop a keen interest in this Divine Skill, the Great Wish of All Living Beings.

He curiously asked, "Where did you learn this Great Wish of All Living Beings?"

"It was Senior Xia Jie who taught it to me. A few days ago, he came to White Emperor City to meet me personally. It was thanks to his guidance and help that I was able to smoothly break through to the Realm of Life Witch," Xi Ying said softly.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming felt both surprised and unsurprised.

Thinking of Xia Jie's erudition and wisdom, perhaps only he could have created such a miraculous power.

"After breaking through to the Life Witch, I also used the life-reversing ability of the Life Witch to help Senior Xia Jie restore his Divine Soul, as a gesture of gratitude for his teaching," Xi Ying continued.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming couldn't help but feel happy for Xia Jie.

At the same time, he felt somewhat ashamed; he too had once promised to help Xia Jie restore his Divine Soul, but his progress in Soul Cultivation was slow, and he had been unable to fulfill the promise in time.

Fortunately, Xi Ying had completed this wish on his behalf, easing some of the guilt in his heart.

Seeing the flicker of longing in Yuan Ming's eyes, Xi Ying gently parted her red lips and continued, "Seeing your eagerness, let me explain a bit further. The Great Wish of All Living Beings actually shares many similarities with the Great Black Sky Palm, requiring the perfect fusion of Mana, Soul Power, and Desire Power to unleash its earth-shattering might. Moreover, my current grasp of this Divine Skill is only at the entry-level."

Recalling the scenes of Xi Ying casting this technique twice before, Yuan Ming's heart was filled with doubt, so he asked, "I noticed that the power displayed by the Great Wish of All Living Beings varied greatly when you used it twice before. Why is that?"

"The power of the Great Wish of All Living Beings is indeed related to the amount of Desire Power used. Remember when dealing with Su Wu, it was Senior Kong's generous assistance, lending me a large amount of Desire Power, that allowed me to repel a strong enemy in one blow," Xi Ying said with a slight smile, explaining.

Upon hearing this, a hint of contemplation flashed across Yuan Ming's face, having gained some understanding.

After a brief silence, he mustered up his courage and tentatively asked, "Xi Ying, could you possibly teach me this Divine Skill, the Great Wish of All Living Beings?"

He was quite eager for this tremendously powerful Divine Skill.

Moreover, with the Stealing Heaven Tripod in his possession, and the Moon Sect growing stronger under his leadership, collecting Desire Power was not a difficult task for him; if he could master this technique, he could surely unleash even more astonishing power.

However, Xi Ying gently shook her head, politely refusing: "At the moment, you are unable to learn this skill. Such Divine Skills can only be touched by Soul Cultivators who have reached the Realm of Life Witch, and it requires extremely high understanding from the cultivator. You have yet to meet these standards."

Yuan Ming felt a surge of helplessness upon hearing this.

Recently, his progress in soul cultivation has been slow, and even the cultivation of the "Love Inquiry Technique" has come to a standstill. The refinement of the Seven Spirits is yet incomplete, making the Life Witch Realm seem far out of reach.

At this moment, a spark of spirit light flickered in his eyes as he fixed his gaze on Xi Ying.

Xi Ying felt a bit uneasy being stared at like this and slightly frowned, saying, "Why are you staring at me like that? Do you intend to possess me to comprehend the Great Wish of All Living Beings' divine skill? That's impossible. Without reaching the Life Witch Realm, one cannot touch upon the mysteries of fate and thus cannot comprehend the Great Wish of All Living Beings."

Yuan Ming quickly shook his head and denied it, "Of course not. I just thought that since you've completed the refinement of the Seven Spirits, perhaps I could possess you to accelerate my understanding of the Seven Spirits."

"That might indeed be a way. However, my Soul Power exceeds yours, so you can't directly possess me," Xi Ying pondered slightly and said.

"I have a way to solve this," Yuan Ming replied with a slight smile, full of confidence.

Having said that, he focused his mind, and the Stealing Heaven Tripod Space opened immediately.

Before him, the void rippled with waves, and grayish-green vines emerged, entwining and weaving together in the void, quickly forming a wooden figure as tall as Xi Ying.

"Wu Yu's Soul Power also surpasses mine, but I once possessed her clone before, gaining some insights similarly. Xi Ying, you can separate a part of your Divine Soul to create a clone, then I can possess you," Yuan Ming said.

"You possessed that Wu Yu?" Xi Ying's eyebrows slowly raised.

"It was just her clone, and I only possessed it once, to advance the 'Love Inquiry Technique,'" Yuan Ming felt a pang in his heart and hastened to explain.

Xi Ying wrinkled her nose, snorted lightly, and turned her gaze away, but still controlled her Divine Soul to separate a portion, which transformed and merged into the indistinctly featured wooden figure.

As the part of Xi Ying's Divine Soul gradually merged into the previously featureless wooden figure, its appearance rapidly became more distinct.

In an instant, a clone nearly identical to Xi Ying formed, appearing lifelike and realistic, like a facsimile of the real person.

With a thought, Xi Ying's clone began to dance gracefully in place, her movements light and seamless, indistinguishable from a real person.

It was hard to believe this was just a clone, unless one observed carefully.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming was thrilled, immediately went to the outside world, and took out the Stealing Heaven Tripod, lighting a stick of Black Incense.

He closed his eyes and focused, attempting to possess Xi Ying's clone.

However, regardless of how he beckoned the image of the clone or tried to communicate with it, his efforts were in vain.

"Ordinary clones, although seemingly unrelated to the main body, still have an essence connected to the main body's Mana and Divine Soul. Therefore, when you attempt to possess it, the clone and the main body are still considered a whole, leading to possession failure," Xi Ying observed and analyzed.

Yuan Ming furrowed his brow in confusion, "Then what about Wu Yu's clone? I successfully possessed her clone before."

Xi Ying slightly frowned, contemplated for a moment, and said, "Wu Yu must have mastered a special secret technique for clones, capable of completely severing the connection between the clone and the main body. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of such a technique. If you truly want to speed up your soul cultivation, I can help you search for this secret technique for clones, but it's evidently not an ordinary secret technique, and I can't guarantee to find it."

"No matter, I may get a chance to contact Wu Yu again and see if I can directly obtain this secret technique from her," Yuan Ming thought for a moment and said.

"Let's talk about that later; take this first," Xi Ying took out a bronze token, palm-sized, and handed it over.

"Senior Kong just told me about your matters. Controlling the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is indeed a good opportunity. You need a stable foothold. However, that place is a mix of dragon and snake, with complex forces at play. To firmly sit as the Master of the Demon Mountain Range, you need to further enhance your strength. The Forbidden on this token has been lifted, take it to comprehend the Five Elements Dao Fruit as soon as possible," Xi Ying said thus.

Yuan Ming took the token, slowly channeling Mana into it from his palm.

The mysterious rune on the token instantly lit up with five-colored spiritual light, and streams of information flowed into his Sea of Consciousness like water.

Moved in his heart, he immediately closed his eyes, focused his mind, and began to meticulously study these messages.

The surrounding environment seemed to blur, and Yuan Ming's mind completely immersed in the information conveyed by the token.

He seemed to be in a resplendent world where the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth intertwined and danced around him, exuding enchanting brilliance...

As his comprehension of the Five Elements Dao Fruit deepened, Yuan Ming gradually grasped its mysteries.

He appeared to see the subtle relationship of mutual generation and restraint among the Five Elements, perceived the operating principles of the Five Elements Power in the cosmos, and began to understand the truth of "the way of heaven, lessens what is more and supplements what is less."

Everything in the universe seemed to follow and maintain a subtle balance.

The balance is continuously broken and formed anew, repeatedly...

His state of mind, along with his deepening comprehension, gradually began to transform, becoming more peaceful and profound.
