Shi Longgu's heart had just begun to harbor a few strands of mercy, but the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler above her head immediately descended a purple aura. Shi Longgu's spirit was shocked, and she regained her composure once more.

The Demon Infant couldn't bewitch Shi Longgu and, by proxy, began to affect Xiong Xue'er. In his mind echoes of cries for "Father" and "Daddy" kept ringing: "Daddy! Your daughter is in so much pain... Mother ignores us... Wuu, Daddy... hold us in your arms, comfort us..."

Xiong Xue'er was regarded by Cang Lingzi as his chosen disciple, with an innate talent and temperament that were one in ten thousand. Although the Demon Infant's methods were bizarre and unpredictable, Shi Feiyang had forewarned him, and had passed on the mental method for calming the mind and suppressing demons. So no matter how the Nine Demons tried to cast their spells, Xiong Xue'er remained unmoved.

Time continued to fly. The Demon Infant grew larger and larger, nearly bursting Shi Longgu's belly.

Their mana grew stronger as well. If it were not for the presence of the talisman bed and the Yuan Yang Ruler suppressing them, they would already have been able to move objects in the cave remotely, even light candles, manipulate plants, and control insects.

Later on, the Demon Infants grew impatient as well, becoming increasingly irritable. They tried incessantly to dig their way out from within, and although unsuccessful, it tormented Shi Longgu greatly.

From the seventh hundredth day onward, Shi Feiyang set up a Dharma Platform in the cave and began casting his spell.

These nine Demons could not simply be allowed to be born; otherwise, methods would have to be devised to subdue them. Should one escape, it would bring disaster and catastrophe to the Human World.

It was at this time, while the Demons were still in their mother's belly, that he should begin the process of Demon Refinement!

The elixirs that Shi Feiyang fed Shi Longgu every day had turned into Jade Dust Talisman Elixirs. Each elixir was inscribed with a talisman, containing a drop of Shi Feiyang's own fresh blood. After Shi Longgu consumed them, the Nine Demons absorbed the energy, and Shi Feiyang, from the outside, used his spells to remotely impose Prohibitions on the Nine Demons.

At first, blinded by the Immortal Law, the Nine Demons were oblivious to the manipulation of Heaven's Secret. However, as they later sensed the remote control of Shi Feiyang's spells, they furiously began a "fast," refusing to draw nourishment from the mother's body.

Shi Feiyang would let his own blood, a cup each day, imbued with Pure Yang Immortal Qi and True Dragon Blood, warm and fresh for Shi Longgu to drink.

This substance was far too tempting for the Demons!

The reason why they were Demons was that they could not restrain their Beastly Nature. They always loved to use various temptations to lure others astray, yet they were the ones least able to resist temptations themselves.

Fully aware that consuming this blood meant being controlled by others, they endured half a day yet eventually could not hold back. They began to furiously suck it in, not caring about consequences, intent on feasting first!

Every day, Shi Feiyang provided them with a cup of blood, combined with the Talisman Elixirs, and his spellcasting, his control over the Nine Demons grew stronger. Eventually, he could communicate directly with the Nine Demons on a mental level.

At this stage, the Nine Demons, having been separated from their previous life as the Cold Centipede by a barrier of life and death, could not be considered the same.

They believed themselves to be stronger in this life than in the last and thus sought to once again rebel against the natural order. Using the direct link between their minds, they tried to influence Shi Feiyang's psyche, hoping to seize his Primordial Spirit and turn him into their puppet, or even directly take over his flesh.

How strong was Shi Feiyang's conviction! Though his Nascent Soul had not yet fully achieved Pure Yang, signs of unity with the Dao were already present. As their thoughts connected, the Demons found Shi Feiyang's consciousness vast and limitless, as if they had entered the boundless void of the cosmos. They aimed to grab Shi Feiyang's Primordial Spirit but were unable to find even a speck of dust!
