He was not interested in doing it, nor did he have the time, and he believed, "The world is unchanged; cleaning a room is merely self-deception. When I am here, the room stays tidy under my pressure, but once I'm gone, it will become more chaotic."

So, after thinking for a while, Song Yan said calmly, "When I was the senior brother on South Bamboo Peak, I set a rule."

Blood Cliff replied respectfully, "This old woman knows, no matter who takes away a furnace, they must remember to nurture it with elixirs and must not drain it dry or force it to suicide."

Song Yan made a sound of acknowledgment but before he could continue, Blood Cliff added, "All captured sword cultivators are always offered for the Sect Leader to choose first. Only after the Sect Leader has decided, do the others get their turn.

Today, here on this Misty Sea, all captives will be delivered to the Sect Leader shortly.

It doesn't matter who captured the sword cultivator, if the Sect Leader takes a liking, it would be a fortune gained from their accumulated fate over eight lifetimes."

Song Yan neither agreed nor disagreed, then said, "Don't attack Luoxia Bamboo Island yet; I have some arrangements to make."

Blood Cliff didn't ask any questions and directly responded, "This old woman understands, currently, the main focus is on eradicating the residual fox demons and tallying the spoils of war; today's great battle is already over."

Song Yan nodded and said, "Go do it then."

Beams of demonic light shot out from beside the flying palanquin toward the surroundings, while Song Yan's flying palanquin stopped suspended in mid-air, settling amid the floating clouds.

Inside the palanquin, Song Yan flipped his palm and took out the "Corpse-Eating Wolf Essence Blood."

He greatly preferred to take time during battle to digest power, rather than delaying it until after the battle.

Unless there's a strategic need, he would never prefer to be a second late in mastering stronger power.

The battlefield changes in an instant; having an extra trump card always provides some sense of security.

'Absorb, Corpse-Eating Wolf Essence Blood, establish the Third Central Palace.'

Silently reciting this in his heart, various insights and accompanying lines of information emerged.

Having died not once but multiple times, he fully absorbed the Essence Blood of the "Corpse-Eating Wolf Race."

[Running the "Profound Sword Scripture," continuing the Profound Qi to digest and assimilate the Corpse-Eating Wolf Race Essence Blood, you are also converting Profound Qi into Sword Qi and nurturing it with blood.]

[In the eighth month, you absorbed 60 strands of Profound Qi, digesting a strand of Corpse-Eating Wolf Race blood, completely converting it to Sword Qi.]

[In the thirty-third year, you absorbed 3000 strands of Profound Qi, successfully converting Profound Qi into Sword Qi; the Corpse-Eating Wolf Race blood has fused into your Crimson Palace Upper Central Palace, becoming the Third Central Palace.]

[Sword Qi reacted with the Corpse-Eating Wolf Race blood, you comprehended a trace of special Sword Qi—Demon Sound Sword Qi.]

[This Sword Qi can attack via sound, not only formless but also executed in myriad unique ways, making it indefensible.]

[You broke through to the late stage of the Crimson Palace Realm.]

Song Yan quickly completed the digestion, casting a glance over the panel: [Longevity: 34/11630].

The remaining lifespan was ample.

Yet he had begun to realize, the most terrifying aspect of the "Remaining Life Dao Fruit" was not "using time to pile cultivation," but providing longevity and flawlessly correct cultivation.

Time may not hold meaning, as it is the cheapest thing within the boundless starry sky and infinite universe. A civilization may undergo a significant transformation in five thousand years, but some often overlook how many worlds have cumulatively evolved over trillions of years to give rise to such a civilization.

Opportunity surpasses time by far.

If Blue Star were likened to a cultivator, it has also spent 4.6 billion years, only in the recent few millennia successfully breaking through to the "Human Realm."

If the universe were likened to a cultivator, even after spending trillions of years, it cannot escape its destiny of "destruction," unable to achieve longevity, hence a failure.

At this moment, a subtle qualitative change emerged in Song Yan's perception.

First is the enhancement of foundational powers.

Following is the advancement of Qi Blood level; if the Seventh Layer of Refining Profound is impervious to weapons and resistant to elements, then Qi Blood at the late stage of the Crimson Palace could withstand all attacks of the Refining Profound level. Simply put, even should Song Yan be asleep, allowing Refining Profound sword cultivators to attack frantically, he would remain unscathed as his Qi Blood would automatically fend off those feeble assaults. The Crimson Palace was always about breaking through limits with external blood, and now it truly revealed its hints.

Additionally, is the temperature of Qi Blood.

Feeling something within, Song Yan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, forming a small cone of peculiar flame in front of himself. Though the color was identical to that of a mortal fire, all red, its temperature was incomparably higher.

'Is this the Qi Blood True Flame at the late stage of the Crimson Palace, capable of refining Profound Treasures and elixirs?'

Song Yan tested it slightly, then swiftly retracted the flame.

Again, closing his eyes to perceive, the power of the Corpse-Eating Wolf Race bloodline surfaced broadly in his mind.

The "Corpse-Eating Wolf Race," like the "Multi-tailed Fox Race," has a racial talent, which is not "Illusion Technique" but "Bloodthirsty."

The "Corpse-Eating Wolf Race," regardless of how severe their injuries, as long as they consume fresh blood or flesh, their wounds will rapidly heal. The stronger the source of the consumed blood and flesh, the faster the recovery, but this healing is limited to "physical wounds"; injuries from "Divine Soul Attacks" are not affected.

The essence blood power of the "Corpse-Eating Wolf Race" was something Song Yan had experienced before; it was about "using howls to manipulate blood, instilling fear causing the weak to bleed from their seven orifices and die on the spot."

After digesting the Corpse-Eating Wolf Essence Blood, Song Yan glanced outside; seeing there was still time, he swiftly summoned the "Ghostly Granny" and "Ghostly General" from the Divine Soul World to inquire, seeking more insight into the strength and situation.

The General spoke first:

"Master, our Corpse-Eating Wolf Race still has many racial secret techniques.
